Volume 3, Side Story 4 : Bad Selection, Broken Heart ~Don't Worry About It~     "―― Huh? Why'd you refuse her?" "I’m not interested."   After dinner, we headed towards Umi's house and played some games. Actually, a few more were supposed to come, but for some reason, they all couldn't make it. Right now, I was raising my voice in response to the fact that Umi was confessed to from a girl from another class.   "You know they said she might even be the prettiest girl in our grade, right?" "Hmm~? Ah...maybe there was something like that."   What a sloppy response. Umi had always shown no interest in things that others did. Or rather, if that girl wasn't good enough, then who was?

Just like last week, I had club activities in the afternoon, so I decided to have lunch with Umi before proceeding. I was planning on staying at Umi's house tomorrow, so I wasn't going to do anything important after club.   "What do you want to eat?" "Let me see~...the usual?" "Do you go somewhere else once in a while?" "Even if you say that..."   It was usually just fast food or fairly-priced family restaurants.
