"Hanabi-chan, aren't you tired?" While Aei and Chiaei were picking out clothes in the store, Uesugi Sakura asked Hanamaru Hanabi, standing beside him.
"Not really... I'm alright..."
Though she said she was alright, Uesugi Sakura could already see the fatigue on her face.
"Aei said you went to bed at 2 AM last night. So you were avoiding me on purpose, and slept over with Aei them?"
"I wasn't avoiding you on purpose, Sakura-kun... It's just..." Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head as she spoke.
"It's just that you didn't want me to worry, right?" Uesugi Sakura knew what she wanted to say, "It's okay to let me worry, honestly, I'm more concerned about your well-being. It's fine to stay up late, just let me know at least."
"Okay."
"Hanabi-san?"
Hanamaru Hanabi, who was talking to Uesugi Sakura, turned towards the voice and saw a young man at the store's entrance.
He noticed the two of them and walked over from the entrance.
"Who are you?"
