Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, what a beautiful day!
The sun is shining bright, which means it's a perfect day to have lunch on the rooftop!
2

Rui

Listen

Yes, a brighter mood does have this way of making everything taste a little better.
3

Tsukasa

Listen

I need to be careful not to bend my back when I go to sit down... Alright, why don't we all sit here?
4

Nene

Listen

O-Okay...
5

Tsukasa

Listen

When I open the lid, I need to focus on what my fingertips are doing. Anyway, what's for lunch today...?
6

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, ginger fried pork!
That's my favorite! I couldn't have asked for a better surprise!
7

Tsukasa

Listen

Hm? What's the matter?
Is there something you don't like included in your lunch?
8

Nene

Listen

What have you been muttering to yourself...?
You've been moving around really carefully...
9

Tsukasa

Listen

Hah hah hah! You noticed?!
10

Nene

Listen

There'd be something wrong with me if I didn't.
11

Tsukasa

Listen

I still can't get the Kikyogumi show we saw the other day out of my head.
12

Tsukasa

Listen

The acting, script and directing were all excellent, but their poise is what impressed me the most.
13

Tsukasa

Listen

Their elegance was staggering, was it not?!
14

Nene

Listen

True, it was.
15

Tsukasa

Listen

After seeing that performance, I feel like learning how to do the same now.
16

Tsukasa

Listen

So, I've gone ahead and started practicing!
17

Nene

Listen

Okay, that explains why you were moving all funny just now...
18

Tsukasa

Listen

Funny? What do you mean?
My goal is to first do normal things in an elegant manner.
19

Tsukasa

Listen

It's not possible to achieve that level of sophistication overnight, so I'll need to do this constantly.
20

Nene

Listen

Constantly? Wait, has he been doing this all day...?
21

Rui

Listen

As far as I've seen, yes.
22

Tsukasa

Listen

My classmates even marveled at my grace!
That means my training is already paying off!
23

Rui

Listen

About that.
I was asked a few questions regarding this.
24

Tsukasa

Listen

What kinds of questions?
25

Rui

Listen

I was asked, “Why's Tenma erasing the chalkboard so weirdly?” And, “Why was he swaying around while reading that passage during Japanese class?”
26

Rui

Listen

You definitely had their attention.
27

Tsukasa

Listen

W-Wait! That's not what I was expecting them to say!
28

Tsukasa

Listen

I was more under the impression that they'd become speechless over my sheer elegance!
29

Tsukasa

Listen

Also, why didn't you tell me sooner if you knew that they thought I was acting strange?!
30

Rui

Listen

Of course, I was going to warn you.
31

Rui

Listen

But I quickly realized that it was the perfect opportunity for me to gather references for how people react in the face of the strange and unusual.
32

Rui

Listen

So, I forced myself to stand back and watch.
It genuinely pained me to be unable to help you during your time of need, Tsukasa...
33

Tsukasa

Listen

Wait, all you did was put your own interests first!
34

Tsukasa

Listen

Still, to think I was being viewed that way...!
I thought I'd achieved a nice level of grace.
35

Nene

Listen

You were that sure...?
36

Tsukasa

Listen

Grr... Just you watch.
I will find a way to move with elegance.
37

Nene

Listen

Alright, we get it.
Can we start eating already?
38

Tsukasa

Listen

Right...
Having my favorite food should lift my spirits.
39

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm...
40

Nene

Listen

Oh, that reminds me. Are you all free after school today?
41

Rui

Listen

I don't have any plans. Why do you ask...?
42

Nene

Listen

I was wondering if we could all visit SEKAI together. Everyone's been asking about what we're currently doing at Morinomiya.
43

Rui

Listen

Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
We should also ask Emu.
44

Nene

Listen

Yeah. Tsukasa, can you...?
45

Nene

Listen

Wait, why are you frozen in place like a statue holding a pair of chopsticks now...?
46

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, I was just thinking about the most elegant way to eat this ginger fried pork...
47

Tsukasa

Listen

I want to scarf down all of this right now, but I won't look very elegant if I do that. But nibbling away at it also seems like the wrong answer.
48

Nene

Listen

Lunch is going to end really fast if you keep doing this.
49

Nene

Listen

Seriously, you've been influenced way too much...
50

Rui

Listen

Hehe. It just goes to show how spectacular the performance we saw was.
51

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm... What should I do...?
