Summary
Hiyori had gone to Keyaki mall, in her casual clothes, at the beginning of the spring vacation as she was meeting Ayanokouji there. She felt it weird to meet someone from another class in a cafe. But being the one who invited him, She arrived early as not to make him wait. Being fond of his personality lately, She wanted to meet up with him regardless of a day off. As she didn't have any experience of going out with friends and due to her introvert personality, she hadn't even managed to make any close friends. Thus, she didn't want to make anyone wait, thinking it would trouble and disappoint him. Even though she didn't feel anything about him as someone from the opposite sex, she did the same thing as any other girls would. Wondering what she was feeling, she wanted to understand it during their meeting.

Having exchanged the pleasantries, She excitedly said there were some new books added in the library and then showed him her bag. Having managed to secure the seats by the window in the crowded cafe, she began to show him the books she had brought with her. She thought it was like they were having a date but then decided to stop thinking about it as that would only make her more embarrassed. Then, she had thought about her class and looking straight up in his eyes said that there was something she wanted to talk about something. Looking directly in his eyes, she felt that he could see through everything she was thinking and the day when their classes would have to fight like enemies, He would be the most dangerous foe they would ever face. That was a thing she had become convinced of looking at his eyes.
