Yuzuru & Ibara

Yuzuru・Ibara: ......

Hokuto: ? The purpose of this was to learn from people in senpai-kouhai relationships, so why are Fushimi and Saegusa here?

...Wait, I just remembered that Fushimi drops the formalities and calls you Ibara. That’s pretty rare for him. So that’d mean you two are close enough to—

Yuzuru: Hidaka-sama, please do not misunderstand this. We may have spent time at the same institution in the past, but that certainly does not mean we are close friends.

Ibara: And even just being treated as Yuzuru’s kouhai is incredibly annoying for me, as well, I’ll have you know.

As of the present, we are neither “senpai and kouhai” nor “superior and subordinate.” We are idols of equal standing under ES, and I would like to be treated as such.

Yuzuru: Fufu. Equals, you say? That’s quite bold of you to say about the one who has beaten you at your own game every time.

Hokuto: ...This conversation is getting pretty lively. You guys are even reminiscing on the past now. I really can’t say I understand your relationship well, but you do seem pretty close.

Yuzuru・Ibara: We are not.
