After putting Koutarou in his futon, Kiriha returned to the tea table and rejoined the game. They continued playing until they finished. First place was Sanae, second was Karama, third was Kiriha, fourth was Korama and Yurika was fifth. Since Koutarou ended up falling asleep, Yurika was the actual last place.
“Fuh fuuu~h♪ I'll be able to sleep great toda~y♪”
Despite being the actual last place, Yurika was in a great mood. She happily hummed as she opened the wardrobe and climbed up to the upper half which she was using as her room. The game they had played was incredibly enjoyable to her. With Koutarou retiring, Yurika could enjoy the game without worrying about getting last place. This was the ideal end for her.
“Goo~d niii~ght♪”
The cheerful Yurika was planning on turning in early. Since she was unfortunate most of the time, she had begun going to bed early whenever something good happened. That had become her life philosophy.
“Good night.”
Sanae seeing Yurika off was somewhat dissatisfied. The contrasting behavior was as if Sanae had taken last place and Yurika first.
“What is it Sanae?”
After Yurika had closed the sliding door of the wardrobe Kiriha called out to Sanae. She naturally grew concerned as the normally cheerful and innocent Sanae showed a wry face.
“I was wondering how I should punish Koutarou for going to sleep and forgetting about this beautiful Sanae-chan.”
Sanae's dissatisfaction was with Koutarou. To her, it was his duty to praise her when she got first place. Neglecting his obligation and going to sleep was a major sin.
“So, did you decide on what to do?”
“Yeah, I've decided to think about it tomorrow.”
“That's not deciding on anything, you're just putting off for later.”
“But it's boring to decide on something when Koutarou is sleeping.”
Strictly speaking, Sanae just wanted Koutarou to dote on her. Yet he had gone to sleep, not doing anything for her.
“Well, it's not like I don't understand how you feel.”
