[Moegi PoV]

It's been almost a week since he took a break. Even with the weekend in between, he hasn't come to school. I wonder what could be the matter...

"Hey, Moegi."

"What's up?"

The person who approached me now is a girl from the same class whom I get along quite well with. Tokugawa Fuyumi-chan. She has green hair, golden eyes, and a cute face. She's one of my beloved people.

"You know, my dad gave me a bunch of discount tickets for a delicious ramen shop. But I've been eating there too much and I'm starting to get tired of it. So, if you want, why don't you take them? It's a really good place, and it's worth going."

"Is that okay? If I can have it, I might as well take them."

"The owner of the shop is a determined woman. She's put a lot of effort into the soup and noodles."

"Heh, it sounds delicious. And it's even better that it's a woman owner!"

"I have three discount tickets. Here you go."

She hands me three discount tickets. They expire in a week...

"I guarantee the taste."

"Thank you."

Three tickets... someone... Ah! Since I have the opportunity, I should take two people with me. Those two occasionally seem a bit distant, but they seem close at times, and it's heartwarming to see them like that. Alright, after school, three girls going out for ramen!

Maybe our friendship will deepen with an opportunity like this.

However, at that time, I didn't know. That the ramen soup would be as thin as water, almost tasteless...

"After school, as homeroom ended and she was getting ready to leave, I immediately asked her out."

"Hey, Karen-chan. Want to go to a delicious ramen shop?"

"A ramen shop? Hmm, I'm not sure."

"It's supposed to be really tasty. The online reviews are good too."

"Oh, if you say so, I guess I can go."

"In that case, let's invite Kohaku-chan too."

"You're inviting her? If that's the case, I won't go..."

"Let's go. Come on, let's go!"

"Hey, don't pull my arm like that."

Phew, I managed to invite her forcefully. Fufufu, my mental fortitude is growing stronger... Not as strong as his though...

Next, I invite Kohaku-chan. Karen-chan pouts a bit. When I go to the classroom to pick her up, she comes out just as I arrive.

"Kohaku-chan."

"Moegi-senpai... and the bothersome pest."

"Is your brain okay if you can't even remember my name?"

Karen-chan playfully taps her head as if provoking her. Both of them start getting angry, and the atmosphere becomes tense.

Oh no, I have to stop this...

"Kohaku-chan, let's go to the ramen shop!"

I stand between them, becoming a wall of sorts. But even so, Kohaku-chan leans slightly out from behind me and points at Karen-chan.

"You're going with that flat-chested girl, right?"

"What!? Do you want to get punched!?"

Not only did she touch upon Karen-chan's taboo, but she also escalated the provocation even further...
