Leo: ♪~♪~♪
Whew, this phrase is sounding good! I wonder what I should name it~
Oh, I got it! How about "My Latte's Turned Sour Song"?
Keito: You've been very quiet there, Tsukinaga.
I'd thought you were still the type to scribble your scores on walls like you did in school... Have you finally learned your social skills?
Leo: Oh, you noticed! You've quite the discerning eye, Keito-sama~
Keito: What's that tone of voice supposed to be?
Leo: Wahaha! We're both high school graduates now, so I thought I'd try speaking politely!
But it's hard to keep it up, and we don't need to talk that way to our dormmates, right~? I mean, languages like English don't have as many polite expressions as Japanese—what's most important are our feelings, doncha think, "sir"?
Keito: Don't call me "sir". We're in Japan.
Leo: Anyway, I'm glad you're lookin' energetic as always, Keito. ☆
Yep, and you're still telling people off all the time. That's a big relief!
Keito: Just who do you think I am? ...Well, it is true, I suppose.
However... You surprised me. I never would've thought you'd invite me to a cafe through WholeHands.
We may have both been in the archery club, but you rarely ever showed your face there.
Leo: Mm~ Oh yeah, now that you mention it, you're right...
Well, we're both fully-fledged members of society now, so let's forgive and forget and have a nice chat! ☆
Keito: I don't want to hear that from you, troublemaker. Graduation doesn't erase your past crimes.
Besides, who on earth still doodles all over everything all the way up until high school?
Leo: Me! ☆
Keito: ...That's precisely the issue, Tsukinaga.
Well, I'll let it go for now—I don't think it's good to be caught up in the past forever. I don't have the energy to spend on useless things like that.
And besides, even if I don't get angry, it's common to see fewer jobs and more online criticism nowadays—much more so than when I was in the student council.
I don't approve of such public punishment outside of the law, but you should already know well enough that this kind of thing could prove fatal.
Leo: Too long, didn't listen! As wordy as ever, aren't ya, Keito?
Keito: Wh—I thought you were actually paying attention for once!
Incorrigible! You and I will never come to understand each other!
Leo: Wahaha! Hey, I was just kidding, okay~☆ Don't make such a big deal out of it!
You're always so serious, Keito!
Keito: You're simply not serious enough. Take responsibility for the things you say.
Leo: Okay, I'm sorry. Don't get mad~
Anyway, I think I'm pretty aware of how scary it can get online. I mean, even I'm scared of getting bashed on social media, yeah? I'm being careful in a lot of ways.
Keito: That's good to hear, I suppose...
Hmph. I ended up falling for your provocations. I need to keep myself calm.
Leo: Wow, Keito, you're so mature~☆
But I guess that's just how it is. I've gotten a little quieter, but I still can't shake my old habits.
I mean if I did, I wouldn't be me, right?
So that means being naggy is just part of what makes you unique... I think...?
Keito: Hey, what are you implying?
*sigh* You tend to make enemies by saying so many erratic things, but your vague statements are just as troubling.
Leo: Well for me, the way you say everything like it's some sort of declaration is pretty grating. You should keep it to a minimum, y'know.
Keito: I've been trying to. They say your soul remains the same all through life; the personality you had when you were young doesn't change so easily.
Leo: Yeah, you're right about that~ Being an adult comes with all kinds of trouble. It's a real bother.
Keito: ...I have to wonder, is this really what you wanted to talk about when you invited me?
We had messaged about catching up with each other over a cup of tea, so I'd assumed we were going to talk about our agencies or units.
Leo: Hmm, I dunno why it turned out this way!
Keito: You don't know...? Well if you don't, then I certainly wouldn't.
Leo: Yeah, but... I just hit you up on WholeHands 'cause I felt like it.
There wasn't any special reason... Mm, or... maybe I just had some regrets?
Keito: Mm? What regrets...?
Leo: I mean, you and I were both in the archery club, right? But in the end we didn't get close enough to message each other personally.
It just felt a liiittle bad to leave it like this... So that's probably why I invited you... I think, anyway!
Keito: You think? Honestly, I don't understand how the mind of a genius works.
Leo: Wahaha! How're you supposed to know that if you don't have superpowers?
Keito: But at the same time, I respect you.
Leo: Hm?
Keito: At school, it was fine just to study and keep your grades up, but out in the real world, you have to bring results in the midst of a free-for-all competition.
One could count on their fingers the number of people who could already accomplish that as a student—you and the Oddballs are some of them.
Perhaps I responded to your invitation because I wanted a little taste of that freedom.
...I think, anyway.
Leo: Ooo, I got Keito's seal of approval! Yay~ High praise from someone who doesn't praise you often is a real treasure~ ☆
But you also achieved that too, Keito. You gave the archery club its freedom, right?
Under the guise of "Robin Hood", you chased out the bad guys hanging out at the archery range.
Keito: Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Either way, it's all in the past.
From now on, we must fend for ourselves in this free-for-all we call society. Take care your freedom isn't stolen away by the adults out there.
Leo: No need to tell me twice! I'll bowl 'em all over with my genius! ☆
In this great, big world, there's still so much we don't know!
It's practically brimming with inspiration! And having tea with you is just another part of our freedom!
Ah, being free is so much fun! ☆ I could write a whole song with this feeling alone! Wahahahahaha! ☆
