On the way home that day, I, Mizusaki Yayoi, was taken by Satouchi Yoko to a cafe on the second floor of a department store. She said she wanted to talk with me alone for a while, so we stopped by.
“Wow, I’ve never been here before. Does Yoko always come here?”
“I don’t come here all the time, but my parents used to take me here.”
“I see.”
“It’s a little expensive, so there are no other high school students here. It’s nice.”
“Right. …… So, what’s the story?”
“The story of today’s lunch. Hey, tell me honestly. Do you like Taiyo-kun too?”
“Eeh!?”
I was surprised by Yoko’s words.
“I do like him. But Yayoi is my best friend, and I don’t want things to get nasty. So I want to make it clear and fight openly.”
“I-I see….”
I didn’t think that Yoko clearly liked Taiyo-kun. But it certainly felt that way.
“So, what do you think? Do you like Taiyo-kun?”
“I …… would say rather….. it’s Nagatsuki-kun.”
“Eh?! Hey, if you’re looking out for me–”
“I’m not. I really do.”
I said honestly.
“You’re lying. What do you like about Nagatsuki kun?”
“Because he saved us.”
“That’s Taiyo kun, isn’t it?”
“No, that’s not true. At first, Taiyo-kun, but Nagatsuki kun always came and helped in the end.”
“That’s …… true, but…”
“When we were being picked up, I thought Taiyo-kun was going to be okay on his own, but then Nagatsuki-kun showed up after him. I thought he was so cool.”
“R-really?”
“Yeah. ……”
I could feel myself blushing.
“Looks like it’s true. Haa, that’s good. I was nervous about what I would do if I had to fight with Yayoi.”
“Fufu, I’m rooting for Yoko.”
“Then, I’ll support Yayoi.”
“Eh, I’m not sure I like him yet. ……”
“What? You’re not in love with him yet?”
“Yeah. I’m not sure yet.”
I had never been in love before, and I didn’t really know what it felt like to love.
“I see. But since we’re together every day at lunchtime, I guess you’re liking him more and more.”
“I guess so,……”
“Fufu, I’m rooting for you. I’m sure you’re right,……, but then there’s Fumika.”
“Yes,…….”
Kamiyama Fumika did not hide her fondness for Taiyo-kun.
“They’ve been together since middle school. She’s cute, and she could be a formidable enemy.”
“Yeah. But I’m worried too.”
“Eh What?”
“Because, Nagatsuki kun asked Fumika out, didn’t he?”
Fumika started to eat with us because Nagatsuki-kun was concerned about her.
And she said to him, “I really want to eat with Kamiyama-san.”
“Oh, I see. Nagatsuki-kun is the one?”
“Yeah. Nagatsuki-kun, about Fumika, ……”
“Indeed, he’s worried about her. But it’s all right. Yayoi, you are so cute.”
“Mouu……”
“It’s true, it’s true. If Yayoi really tries, anyone would fall right away.”
“Fall huh…..”
“Fufu Let’s work hard for each other!”
“Y-yeah”

If this chapter is to be believed, then Yayoi’s intelligence has been sacrificed in order for the plot/drama to happen. Just one chapter ago, she claimed that she likes Taiyo directly in front of Nagatsuki, and she appears to think doing so won’t cause any problems.
I’m not a fan of plot driven stupidity.
