Satoru had quickly picked up on the fact that you had a crush on Suguru Geto, though he hadn't directly asked you. He knew you well enough to notice the subtle signs. But how did he know you so well, despite having met only a year ago? The truth was, Satoru had developed strong feelings for you. It wasn't often that he found himself drawn to someone.

He still remembered the day you walked into the classroom of first-year students; he was captivated by your presence from that moment on. Spending time with you had always been enjoyable, and he couldn't help but wonder what it was about you that had caught his attention. Was it your beautiful face, your personality, the way you carried yourself, or your incredible cursed techniques? Or was it the way you treated him like a normal person, rather than the strongest sorcerer? He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

One thing that did elude him, however, was whether you saw him as more than just a friend. He hoped that one day you might.

On this particular Sunday, Satoru had taken you to a bakery, having lost a bet to you. As a result, he was treating you to your favorite sweets, a task he didn't mind at all.

"Yeah, yeah, I know which one you want," he said with his signature cocky smile. "No need to tell me."
