If anyone has memories of being my girlfriend, I’ll admit defeat, okay?”“Then who are they...?”Yuu turned and saw Yukinoshita Haruno, Yuuki Asuna, Natsukawa Masuzu, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Kasumigaoka Utaha walking towards him, with expressions as if they were ready to confront him.“Yuu-chan, I’ve remembered you just abandoning me at the hotel.”“Yuu-kun, I told you, I won’t forget, I will definitely remember you, and I definitely won’t forgive you!”“Yuu, boyfriends can be ‘Ora Ora’-ed for three pages... are you ready?”“Tenkuji-kun, as long as we haven’t broken up, you and I are still a couple.”“Heroine with amnesia, hero leaves... I don’t like these old-fashioned, stomach-churning plots, Yuu-kun.”“...You guys are weird.”Yuu maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was panicking and getting ready to run.“System, get out here and explain this to me!”System: [Meow]Author: A Passing Chūnibyō Youth
