*Sigh*... I couldn't focus on classes at all today...

(I never thought that Saki and Tsukasa would ever fight...)

Saki's been looking forward to today's Doll Festival party saying that it's her first one since she was little...

Is there anything I can do to help...?

But if even she can't get a hold of Tsukasa...

(I know. What if I just went and talked to him in person...?)

Mochizuki, you here? Wanna head to the Cleanup Committee meeting together?

Oh, she's from class A...

(Right. We have a committee meeting today...)

Mochizuki? What's wrong?

Oh, no. It's nothing.
Just give me a second to get ready.

(But if I head off to the meeting now...)

...!

S-Sorry...!
Can I ask a big favor?!

Hm? A favor?

Yes. Well, there's somewhere I absolutely need to be right now...!

So would you mind telling the seniors that I won't be able to make it today...?

That's all? Sure, no problem!
I'll let them know.

I mean, some girls just ditch without saying anything, so I'm sure you'll be fine!

Th-Thank you so much...!

I can't believe that I'm actually here now...

Her uniform... Isn't she from Miya Girls?

Yeah, you're right.
Maybe she's here to meet someone?

(I knew this would happen, but everyone's staring at me...)

(I'm not supposed to just walk in without permission... What should I do...?)

No, I can't hesitate now...!
It's for Saki's sake...!

Huh?!

Oh!

(P-People were talking about someone from Miya Girls being here and I just assumed it was Emu, but you can't be serious...?!)

Kusanagi! Thank goodness...!
I need to ask a huge favor!

O-Okay...! A favor...?

Yes! I need to talk to Tsukasa right now, but I can't just go in without getting permission first...!

A-Alright...
Right, that's what normal people do...

Huh?

N-Nothing...
It's actually sort of okay as long as the teachers don't find you, surprisingly...

Oh, really...?

In Emu's case at least...
But why do you need to talk to Tsukasa?

Well...

So he got into a fight with his sister and you want them to make up...?

Yes.

Okay, got it. I think I know where he is, so just give me a minute to find him.

Thank you so much, Kusanagi!
You're my only hope!

(Thank goodness... All that's left is to actually talk to him...)

Oh, Saki sent me a message.
I wonder what she wants...

<Hona, have you gotten out of your meeting? If you have, wanna head to my place together...?>

(Hmm... How do I reply to this one...?)

(I can't tell her that I skipped the meeting to go find her brother...)

I shouldn't do this but...
<Sorry, the meeting won't end for a little while longer. Please go on ahead without me.>

*Sigh*... I'll have to apologize to her later...

H-Honami!!!!
Saki! Is Saki alright?!?!

Wah...!

You being here means something must've happened to Saki, right?!

Um, yes this is about Saki but...

(I have to tell him how Saki actually feels! They need to make up!)
