the BGM for this is Milet's Hanataba 🥺

In short, ganbare Hiiragi-san ✊😅

UmeSaku. Hiiragi spends too much time around Umemiya to be fazed by the representative persona. Umemiya is so troublesome he became the cause of Hiiragi's stomachpain, after all. So Hiiragi is seriously worried about poor Sakura's pure heart.

EndoSaku is the next. "Sakura, WHY would you give any amount of your time for THIS guy???? Even purity has its limit, you know???" Hiiragi once grumbles while gulping down his beloved gas-kun10.

KajiSaku is next. Both are his juniors in Tamonshu. He's known Kaji since grade school, and thus knows about his problems and insecurities. Sakura, is, well, Sakura. It's a worrysome couple that endangers Hiiragi's stomach but he does think the relationship is good for them.

SuoSaku is the the next. Both are his juniors in Tamonshu. Suo is generally a nice and well-mannered fellow, but Hiiragi knows that guys who are almost always smiling are usually crazy behind the scene. Although Suo seems like he can reign himself in, most of the time.

KameSaku is the lightest one. He doesn't know Togame beyond respect as leaders from different team, but if anything, he seems like a green flag for Sakura after the duel at the Orion incident. Or rather, isn't he becoming a devoted giant turtle around Sakura?

"The one I love is Sakura Haruka. You don't need to become anyone else."

Not giving his younger lover a chance to appeal, his lips steal Sakura's breath without mercy.

END

Heat smoldering in his sky blue eyes. Heat that scorches everything, leaving nothing but Sakura bared in front of him. Heat so oppressive that Sakura can't help but freeze.

Like a tribunal, Umemiya gives his verdict to Sakura.

"No, I didn't hear it from anyone else. I just knew."

As if he could read Sakura's mind, Umemiya says.

"Sakura doesn't understand, huh. There is no need to be like me. If you are like me, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you."
