Everyone's mood should be good when they go home, but who would expect everything to turn awkward?Everyone could see how Usa was in a daze and didn't seem to wake up, like a lifeless doll who had lost its string.

Hikigaya looked at Usa, who sat next to him and could only sigh helplessly.Usa was on the verge of crying, but he held it and tried to be strong. However, the damage caused by the rejection was harder than he had thought. If possible, he wanted to ask why Ritsu had rejected him and whether there was a way to make her accept him since he was really in love with her. However, when he thought about how she told him she didn't love him and he was rejected by her clearly, he knew everything had ended.

"Ugh..." Usa wanted to cry again, but he was too embarrassed to be seen, so he could only hold it.Hikigaya was also helpless since he didn't expect Usa to confess so suddenly without any precautions, even if he tried to stop Usa. Still, even if he said he tried to stop Usa, all he was doing was something subtly by staying on Usa's side as long as he could. However, who would have thought that when he went to the toilet, Usa would suddenly confess, and everything would end when he arrived.

As he had promised, Shishio set up a chance for Usa to confess when they were almost going home. Then, with his skill, it wasn't hard for him to gather the people around him to give Usa and Ritsu a chance to be together.Frankly, when Usa confessed, everyone happened to see it, and they just could feel helpless when they saw Usa's confession. It wasn't because it was cringe or something. Instead, it was normal. However, it might be because they knew the mood wasn't right and knew the result of the confession, so they felt it was painful to watch the confession.

Still, they knew Shishio didn't have any intention of confessing to Ritsu, so it was impossible to stop Usa.

However, everyone also knew it was impossible to stop Usa from confessing unless Shishio confessed to Ritsu. Still, they knew Shishio didn't have any intention of confessing to Ritsu, so it was impossible to stop Usa."Hey, are you not going to do anything?" Nana whispered.

"What do you want me to do?" Shishio was helpless."You were the one who set this up, right? Shouldn't you also think about how to erase this awkward atmosphere?" Mai asked.

"You were the one who set this up, right? Shouldn't you also think about how to erase this awkward atmosphere?" Mai asked."What can I do?" Shishio had done what Usa asked, and Usa was able to confess, so that's all?

"What can I do?" Shishio had done what Usa asked, and Usa was able to confess, so that's all?Shishio knew Usa had already known this consequence, or Usa might have known, yet a love blinded him of this fact. The feeling of love was complicated. It made someone become one wasn't be, and most of the time, it would cloud their judgment. It was some kind of sickness, yet many people still wanted to have it.

"Still, I don't really care about Usa, but what about Ritsu? She's acting strange, you know?" Mai said with a worried expression.Shishio glanced at Ritsu for a moment and said, "Let's leave it to Mashiro and Nanami. I'm sure she can handle this. Also, it is quite wrong for me to talk with her after she has just rejected someone, especially..." He glanced at Usa before he shut his mouth.

Also, it is quite wrong for me to talk with her after she has just rejected someone, especially..." He glanced at Usa before he shut his mouth.While his morals were doubtable, Shishio wasn't cruel enough to attack Ritsu when Usa was right in front of him. It might be different when they parted, and he could talk with Ritsu since he must admit he regretted the fact he let Usa confess to Ritsu.
