Mafuyu's Friend A
Sigh... That was so much fun!
2
Mafuyu's Friend B
Yeah!
3
Mafuyu
Why are you two sighing while looking at your phones?
4
Mafuyu's Friend A
We were just going through our pics from the Sports Festival and remembering how exciting it was!
5
Mafuyu's Friend A
Look, this one's from the three-legged race you were in, Mafuyu!
6
Mafuyu
Wow. You took a really good photo.
7
Mafuyu's Friend A
Right?!
8
Mafuyu's Friend B
The girl you were paired up with was a first-year student, wasn't she? What was her name again?
9
Mafuyu
Otori.
10
Mafuyu's Friend B
Yeah, Otori! She was off the wall!
11
Mafuyu's Friend B
My friend from the committee said that she came up with a lot of suggestions to make this year's sports day as fun as possible.
12
Mafuyu's Friend A
Really? That's impressive for a first year!
13
Mafuyu
Yeah, it is.
14
Mafuyu
Oh... I have my student council meeting soon. I'll see you later.
15
Mafuyu
(We're meeting in this classroom I think...)

Emu's Voice
Doop dee doo♪

Mafuyu
(That voice...)
18
Emu
Doop dee doo♪
19
Mafuyu
(It's her. Looks like she's not running around the corridors today.)
20
Mafuyu
Hello, Otori.
You seem to be skipping in high spirits.
21
Emu
Yup♪ I won a prize with a snack I bought... Hrk!!
22
Emu
A-A-A-Asahina...!
H-Hello!
23
Emu
What pleasant weather we're having today!
Um... Er...

1st Year Archery Club Member A
Good morning, Asahina! Could I ask you for some pointers during practice after school?
26
1st Year Archery Club Member B
H-Hey, I was going to ask her first! If you have time, could you help me with something too?
27
Mafuyu
(The girls from my club treat me like some sort of idol, but Otori's different...)
28
Mafuyu
Um, Otori...
29
Emu
Eek! Y-Yes...?!
30
Mafuyu
You seem to be staring at me...
Is there something on my face?
31
Emu
S-S-S-Sure there is! Your eyes and nose and mouth...!
32
Mafuyu
Huh...?
33
Mafuyu
Heh... Hehe. Well, you're right about that.
34
Emu
Oh... That was a real smile!
35
Mafuyu
What do you mean?
36
Emu
Eep! N-Nothing!
37
Mafuyu
Huh...
38
Mafuyu
By the way, I heard that you came up with a lot of suggestions for improving this year's Sports Festival.
39
Mafuyu
I'd like to thank you for that. I enjoyed it a lot.
40
Emu
I'm ready to win!
Let's do this, Asahina!
41
Mafuyu
(Huh? Why did that pop into my mind all of a sudden?)
42
Emu
...
43
Mafuyu
Is there really nothing on my face...?
44
Emu
Hehehe...
45
Emu
No, but you're actually smiling now!
46
Mafuyu
Huh...?
47
Emu
I mean, I don't know why, but you smile differently sometimes...
48
Emu
But during the Sports Festival, your smile was real, and seeing that made me really happy!
49
Mafuyu
My smile was real...?
50
Emu
I had a ton of fun in the three-legged race with you too!
51
Emu
Oh, sorry... My friends are waiting for me!
52
Mafuyu
Okay, see you.
53
Mafuyu
(She doesn't really know me, and yet...)
54
Mafuyu

55
Mafuyu
What a strange girl...
