The sun beats down, laughter echoes, and the smell of barbecue wafts through the air. Everything could be perfect... except for an unexpected guest: Kana, the girl who believes everything is rightfully hers.

Kana and Draken Kana shamelessly clings to Draken's muscular arm, batting her eyelashes as if she's in a shampoo commercial. Kana (suave, too forced): "Hey... Draken, you think my bikini looks good on me, don't you?" She tilts her head, exaggerated smile. Draken (dark expression, backing away slightly): "Let go of me... Seriously." Kana (forcing a high-pitched laugh): "Hee hee, you're being shy, aren't you?" Draken sighs heavily, already exhausted.

Emma and Hina Sitting by the water, the two girls watch the scene, their relaxation ruined by the spectacle. Emma (gritting her teeth): "Damn it... why is she sticking to Draken like that?" Her eyes are almost flashing. Hina (wrinkling her nose): "I don't know... but she's insufferable. She thinks she's clever."

Mikey and the others (volley) A little further away, Mikey is concentrating on his impromptu volley match with Takemichi, Yamagishi, Yamamoto, Makoto, and Atsushi. Mikey (laughing, hitting the ball): "Takemitchy, catch it! Or it's 10 push-ups!" Takemichi (panicked): "Wait! I'm not ready!!" The ball falls at his feet. Everyone bursts out laughing.

Baji, Kazutora, and Chifuyu (barbecue) Near the grill, the smell of skewers rises. Baji, already holding a plate, comments on the situation. Baji (raises his voice, sarcastically): "Hey, Kazu, Chifuyu... do you think she realizes she's pathetic, or not?" Kazutora (amused, crossing his arms): "Honestly? I think she's convinced she's the heroine of a drama." Chifuyu (laughing): "Yeah, except in this drama, everyone hates her."

Kisaki and Hamna Sitting further away, scheming as usual, the two barely lift their heads. Hamna (snickering): "Hey, look, Miss Pick is putting on her show again." Kisaki (icy, adjusting his glasses): "Hmph. As long as she keeps the spotlight on herself, we're fine. No one suspects us." »

☀️ Result: instead of shining, Kana receives only exasperated looks, sarcastic murmurs, and Draken's icy indifference. The gang, meanwhile, continues to have fun, as if their circus didn't even exist.
