Morning♪
2
Morning, Mizuki...
Wait, it's past noon already!
3

Mizuki

Listen

Hey, me turning up for classes is a special event in and of itself, no matter how late I am.
4

Mizuki

Listen

Speaking of events...
Thanks for giving me that call earlier!
5
Hmm? What call?
6

Mizuki

Listen

About the school festival.
7
Oh that!
8

Mizuki

Listen

I have to thank you for getting me out of the house and to the festival.
9

Mizuki

Listen

But hang on. Why did you invite me to come when I didn't do anything to help with it?
10
It's a special event, so I thought it'd be a shame if you missed it.
11

Mizuki

Listen

Hmm...
12
But hey, maybe you'll get to take part in the first years' festival next year if they hold you back for being absent so much!
13

Mizuki

Listen

Urgh, I'd rather not be a repeater...
14
Hahaha!
15

Mizuki

Listen

(An didn't want me to miss out...)
16

Mizuki

Listen

(At first I thought she gave me that call because it was her duty as the hall monitor or something, but she did it just out of friendship.)
17

Mizuki

Listen

(And she was so mindful of my situation...)

<Oh, and lots of students are wearing funky outfits today. A lot of the second years are in costume for their class shows too. It's really cool!>
19
<Unless you wear something really crazy, it's gonna be hard to stand out in this crowd.>
20

Mizuki

Listen

(We've been friends since I started high school, but I haven't really been telling her much about myself...)
21

Mizuki

Listen

(Still, I feel comfortable around her.)
22

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, guess what!
I met my friend's brother at the festival!
23
You mean Akito? Yeah, he told me.
I was surprised that he has an older sister.
24

Mizuki

Listen

She's a second year, but only attends the night classes. I met her online and we've been making music together.
25
Wow, that's cool!
Was she at the festival too?
26

Mizuki

Listen

Nah. Her brother said she was probably sleeping.
Ena's sleeping pattern is totally backwards.
27
That's kind of like you!
28

Mizuki

Listen

What? Hey! No, it's not!
I was awake when you called me, right?
29
Hehe. I guess so!
30
By the way, it was also news to me that you knew Rui.
31

Mizuki

Listen

He's an old friend from middle school.
You're friends with him too?
32
No, but I have run-ins with him while on duty...
33

Mizuki

Listen

Ah... I had a feeling it was something like that.
34

Mizuki

Listen

But it was good to see him enjoying the festival.
35

Mizuki

Listen

When we were in middle school, we never participated in anything like that. We mostly just wasted time hanging out on the rooftop.
36

Mizuki

Listen

Back then, we didn't have any other friends to talk to, so we talked with each other a lot.
37
I see...
38

Mizuki

Listen

Well, that's just how it was back then!
39

Mizuki

Listen

Now, Rui has his own circle of friends and seems happy.
40
Oh, he was hanging out with Tenma, wasn't he?
41
But I really wish he'd stopped bringing weird stuff to school.
42

Mizuki

Listen

Hahaha...
43
So how have you been doing, Mizuki?
44

Mizuki

Listen

Me? Um...
45

Mizuki

Listen

I'm having more fun these days, I guess.
46

Mizuki

Listen

I've got some friends I can talk to comfortably, like you. I made some new friends too, and I've been creating music videos.
47
These new friends, are they from the same group as Akito's sister?
48

Mizuki

Listen

Bingo!
49
Nice.
50

Mizuki

Listen

Um...
51

Mizuki

Listen

You're all smiles today.
Did something good happen?
52
Yeah, you're telling me about yourself!
53
Usually we just talk about fashion or some random stuff, but you almost never tell me about yourself.
54

Mizuki

Listen

Oh...
55

Mizuki

Listen

Heh. It's only with you that I feel like I can be this open.
56

Mizuki

Listen

You might've developed a knack for making people comfortable talking to you after working at your dad's cafe.
57
You think so? Oh, but you're not getting any freebies from this.
58

Mizuki

Listen

What?! Not even one cup of coffee on the house for your dear friend?
59

Mizuki & An

Listen

Hahaha!
