When Runa confirms it, it send the class into an uproar, and Maria runs off.
Ryuuto follows and learns shestartedthe rumors.
Well,thatcertainly blew up in her face!
Ryuuto, for his part, doesnt kick Maria when shes down.
When she slips on the steps, she catches him.
When he leaves, Maria isdeterminednot to fall for him for real…but Im not holding by breath!
Ryuuto returns to a happy Runa and, to his surprise, a happy Nicole as well.
He even gets good mornings from girls who normally wouldnt speak to him.
The close proximity has him yearning to kiss this girl hes liking more and more.
Worried that its a bridge too far, he decides to make a run at start with holding hands.
His pals put aside their jealousy to help him devise a plan, which involves going to Ueno Park.
That weekend, Runa brings Ryuuto a homemade bento for him.
This plan fails twice when she gets on and off the boat all on her own.
Shes all for that.
Unfortunately for Runa, their road of love is about to hit some brunette bumps courtesy of Maria.
I wish her good luck, and look forward to the messiness!
