Chapter 4

Unexpected Words is of the Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui manga series.

Plot
Ryō Amakusa spots Ichika Arima at a café. Seeing the perfect opportunity to be in her presence, Ryō buys a cup of coffee and brings it to Ichika, and sits down at her table. But instead of a thank you, Ryō is met with an insult, which he indulges in. Ichika informs him that he's meeting his sister, Rio Amakusa, there. The young pulls out his phone and messages his sister to wait ten minutes before she walks in.

Ichika continues with her study when Ryō corrects one of her math mistakes. Ichika is amazed by Ryō's math skills. The high school student blurts out that she isn't good with science. However, Ryō, on the other hand, is good with almost all subjects, including sports. But he isn't as well when it comes to the arts - Ichika's favorite course - and other technical topics.

Ichika can't help but poke fun at drawing skills and suggests the young man make a portrait of her. Ryō loudly exclaims that he doesn't have the skill and ability to draw Ichika's ethereal beauty. Suddenly, a beautiful woman walks up and recognizes Ryō. However, Ryō can't seem to place the woman. The lady points out that Ryō hasn't contacted her for a while and shamelessly starts to flirt with the young man. Ryō still can't remember the woman in front of him.

Suddenly, the woman's gaze turns to Ichika, who asks Ryō why he's interested in a "plain little high school girl". Ichika tries to explain that she's not with Ryō. But the woman ignores Ichika and goes on to warn her that Ryō is a womanizer. Ryō, who has been quiet this entire time, speaks up and tells the woman to go away. However, the woman continues with her warning. Even so, Ichika points out that to her, Ryō isn't a "bad person".

The revelation widens Ryō's eyes. He can't believe that Ichika would say something like that. Without wasting any time, Ichika picks up her things and rushes out of the café. The woman can't help but gloat at Ichika's running form.

While outside, Ichika is thinking of contacting Rio to meet up somewhere else when Ryō grabs Ichika's shoulder. The high schooler flinches and asks Ryō why he would chase after her. Ryō apologizes for the awkward moment back at the café. Plus, he tells Ichika that what she said before made him happy.
