**"I thought I knew that"** (知ってたはずなのに, *Shitteta Hazunanoni*) is the eighty-third chapter of the *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999*, written and illustrated by Mashiro.

## Summary

Akane is currently searching for the building where Yamada is located while completely drenched in water at the Sunny Heights Building. While Akane was on the phone with Momo, trying to get directions for the address she received from her, Sakai—the owner of the dog Satsuki intended to adopt—just so happened to be nearby.

Satsuki was surprised to see Akane at the front door instead of the person she had anticipated would be returning, who was drenched due to the outside rain's torrential downpour. In addition to letting Akane know that they are not together and that she just happened to be trapped in the exact location as Yamada, she also mentioned that he had fallen asleep when his phone rang. Despite what she had said, Akane thanked her for contacting her to let her know about Yamada's condition. She later clarified that Iguchi, not her, had probably been the one to do so.

Akane shared how she met Sakai outside and how he gave her his umbrella and showed her how to get to the part of the building where Yamada and Satsuki were standing at the time. Satsuki noticed how drenched Akane was from head to toe while conversing, so she asked if she wanted to change her clothes. In response, Akane smiled and said that since Yamada's parents were away, she wanted to be by his side in case something unfortunate occurred, like today when he became ill. When she could not contact him, she admitted that she panicked, but she was relieved at the same time that Yamada wasn't alone and that he was with a friend despite his ongoing illness as she thanked Satsuki for her assistance. Akane went to Yamada's side after a short while, when he had finally awakened and seen her soaked. Satsuki left the room as the couple talked.

Iguchi decides to take Yamada home as soon as he gets there and says goodbye as they depart. Sakai offered his umbrella to Akane, who decided to follow Iguchi and Yamada, who had just left. Akane struck up a conversation with Satsuki. She apologized to her for her behavior towards her on the day as the three entered the home. Satsuki hesitantly said it wasn't a big deal, but when she noticed Sakai getting up to leave the area where she and Akane were, she made it clear she didn't think Akane liked her. Akane explained that she didn't like seeing her boyfriend get close to women she didn't know and was about to say it was all her misunderstanding the situation when Satsuki interrupted Akane who and suggested that they get to know one another so that she wouldn't be referred to as a "woman you don't know," to which Akane responded by smiling.

When Satsuki walked into the room and saw Sakai rummaging through the boxes and talking about his dog's snacks and sheets, she shared that she had just remembered the feeling of love she had thought she had forgotten to Sakai, who seemed confused to what she's talking about.
