About that...

She wasn't grabbing my collar...

She was going to kiss me, actually.

But...

No way I can tell them that...

I noticed a piece of rice on Ihara-san's cheek,

so I helped her take it off.

Y-Yeah!!

She wasn't grabbing my collar at all!

She was just taking that piece of rice off!

Is that so?

So the thing about us fighting is just Kuramoto-san's misunderstanding~

R-Really...?

But it really looked like that to me.

When I saw them,

it looked like Take was putting serious pressure on Ihara-san,

and Ihara-san also had a really troubled look on her face.

The whole scene looked exactly like someone being bullied.
