[NewDi Office - Evening]
Tsukasa: (I'd thought to come to the agency after finishing my assignments, but I've arrived quite a bit later than anticipated.)
(If I could go straight from the academy to ES, it'd be much easier to decide how to spend my time.)
(However, ES forbids wearing uniforms within its premises. I suppose I had no other choice...)
Hmm? Is that... Harukawa-kun?
Sora: ...?
Tsukasa: (Why on earth did I rush to hide just now?! Harukawa-kun and I were in class together today, were we not?)
Speaking of which, if Harukawa-kun also has business at the agency, then we could've come here together...
I must regain my composure and say hello.
(..."Good evening"? No, night has yet to come. Perhaps "Good day" would be more suitable.)
Sora: Tsu~ka~chan ♪
Tsukasa: Wah?! H-Harukawa-kun?!
Sora: You should come inside instead of standing at the entrance like that~ You have something you need to do here, right, Tsuka-chan?
Tsukasa: Indeed. Narukami-senpai and I are to have a meeting, so I decided to wait at the agency.
Yet I received a message a while ago that Narukami-senpai's photoshoot is running late...
Sora: Is that so? Sora's waiting for Master, too!
But Master might also be running late with his current job~
Tsukasa: Ah, speak of the devil... Here comes another message from Narukami-senpai. It appears that it will still be some time before the photoshoot finishes.
Sora: Mm? Sora got a message from Master, too! He says Sora should go home before it gets dark!
Tsukasa: Fufu. Sakasaki-senpai is so kind. He does not abuse his power over his juniors—I do wish a certain group of seniors would learn from his example.
Sora: Oh, but... this means you and Sora don't have any reason to be here anymore, right?
Tsukasa: True... I've only just arrived, but it would also be perfectly fine to adapt to Narukami-senpai's schedule and have our meeting at the dorms instead.
Sora: Sora will go back too, like Master said. All we ended up doing here was drink some tea, huh~?
Tsukasa: (This situation... could it be? Is this not the point where I invite him to walk home together?)
(Yes, even I, unaccustomed as I am to socializing with friends, can recognize this opportune moment: a chance to speak with Harukawa-kun...!)
(This is the perfect time of day to have a leisurely chat as well; it might not be a bad idea to invite him for a meal at the cafeteria.)
(...But... he did mention he bought a new game recently. He may be saving his free time to play it instead.)
(If so, then my invitation may only trouble him...)
(Agh, this is unacceptable! Why am I so uncertain when it comes to friendship?!)
(Indeed—Are we not friends, Harukawa-kun and I? Is it not a normal thing for friends to spend time together?)
(Walking home after school, sharing meals... If we cannot do these things comfortably, then what is the meaning of friendship?!)
(I told him that we will become friends. As such, it only stands to reason that I should be the one to deepen our bond...!)
...Um... Harukawa-kun...
If you, er, have no plans after this... And if you are feeling hungry, then... would you... come to the cafeteria with me?
I have heard the special autumn menu items are quite delicious. If you wouldn't mind, we could...
Sora: ...HaHa~♪ You don't have to be so nervous, Tsuka-chan~♪
Sora knows you've been wanting to say something for a while!
Tsukasa: Y-You knew?!
Sora: Your color was all twisty and swirly, Tsuka-chan. Sora saw it when you came here, too~
Sora said hi first because he wanted to talk to you, but this time, he waited for you to speak.
Sora and Tsuka-chan are friends! Is Sora wrong?
Tsukasa: No, not at all...! I wish to be closer with you, Harukawa-kun!
I wish to be more friendly when we're having lessons at school, or when we're spending time together as idols at the same agency.
Sora: Sora feels the same way, so he'll join you for a meal! And he'd be real happy if we could walk home together after~
Tsukasa: Harukawa-kun...
As I have acted so unseemly before you, please allow me to extend my invitation once again.
Will you have dinner with me? As your friend, I'd be delighted to spend a while with you.
Sora: Yes! Let's talk lots! ♪ Sora's answer is: he'd love to~! ♪
[Dorm - Common Room]
Tsukasa: I have returned.
Arashi: Welcome back, Tsukasa-chan. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the agency today.
Sora: We're back, Arashi-oneechan!
Arashi: Oh? You were with Sora-chan? Both of you are grinning... Just what have you been up to?
Sora: We ate dinner and talked a whole bunch! Tsuka-chan is gonna help Sora study and share some good candy shops!
Tsukasa: Harukawa-kun has recommended a new game to me as well. I've promised to have him show me what it looks like later on.
Arashi: Ufufu. I'm so happy to hear you had such a good time.
Tsukasa: Indeed. The time spent with friends is truly one of a kind.
Sora: ...Ehehe. Sora feels the same as Tsuka-chan~♪
