When Yuuka and I arrived at the broadcasting room, there were two people happily chatting together.
One was a woman—it was immediately clear she was the top-ranking senpai. She had the appearance of a literary girl.
The other, a man, was the second-ranking senpai and gave off a very quiet and reserved atmosphere.
“Hey, we’ve been waiting for you! Come on, have a seat, have a seat.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
There were two folding chairs side by side.
Yuuka, being shy around new people, was hiding behind me.
“So you’re Yuuka-chan, right? Nice to meet you.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
The girl extended her hand for a handshake.
But Yuuka, being cautious, didn’t try to shake hands right away.
Seeing that, I gave a wry smile.
“Sorry, she gets shy around new people.” (Yuuto)
“No, no, it’s my fault too for trying to get too close too fast. Don’t worry about it.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
She waved both hands at us in a gentle gesture.
Once Yuuka recognized that she was a safe person, I asked the two of them a question.
“So, what kind of business did you have with us that you called us here?” (Yuuto)
The one who answered was the second-ranking senpai.
“Actually, some students in our grade said they wanted to hear more about that first-year pair—that’s you two. So we called you here. We’d like to do it like a radio show, if that’s okay?” (Second-ranked Senpai)
So that was the reason.
When I looked at Yuuka, she made a circle with her fingers to show that she was okay with it.
“I understand, that’s fine. But just so you know, if there are any difficult questions, I might have to go with ‘no comment’.” (Yuuto)
That was how I responded.
“Thanks! Then we’ll start in a little while, so just relax until then.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
Since they said that, we relaxed and started eating our bento.
When we were about halfway through our lunch…
“Is it okay if we start soon? You can keep eating while we go.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
Since she asked for our permission, we nodded.
After that, the broadcast began, and we stayed quiet until it was our turn.
Then, when we were called in, the segment with us started.
We answered normally, but both the top-ranking girl and the second-ranking guy widened their eyes and looked surprised at some of our answers.
And by the time the broadcast ended, both of their faces were flushed red.
“Thank you both! We had so much fun, but wow, that was kind of embarrassing.” (Top-ranked Senpai)
The top-ranking girl covered her face with both hands.
“As expected of a couple—you two are so lovey-dovey it’s almost enough to burn someone.” (Second-ranked Senpai)
“Thank you for enjoying it. Ah, but just so you know, we’re not dating.” (Yuuto)
The moment I said that, both of them looked at us in shock.
“You’re not dating?” (Top-ranked Senpai)
The top-ranking girl turned to Yuuka and asked.
Yuuka nodded her head to confirm.
They both looked surprised, but since it was getting late, we said our goodbyes and left the broadcasting room.
