Alright, finished!

Sir, I'm all done!

Hm? You finished quicker than usual today.

I've really gotta be somewhere today, so I'd appreciate it if you could check this ASAP.

Alright, I get it.

Okay, this does look like everything.
You're free to go.

Woohoo♪

Honestly, if you're able to focus like this, then you really should just show up for classes like normal...

No waaay. Besides I totally prefer the worksheets you make way more.

Then, I'll make you a hundred next time.

I don't mind since you have to make and grade them♪

Grr... You...

Haha! Anyway, see you later!

Alright, off to Miya Girls.

I'm glad we get to leave early today since they're probably still having classes...

Anyway, I've gotta hurry!

Phew... I think I made it in time...

Oh, I need to send Mafuyu a message.
Let's see...

Hmm... I probably shouldn't say too much and just keep things simple by letting her know that I'm waiting outside the school gate.

Okay, that should do it...

(I have no idea if I'll be able to see her since we didn't plan to meet in advance...)

(But I feel that I need to tell her this...)

(So that she can find a way to move forward.)

Oh...
Does this mean their last homeroom's over?

My arms feel totally overloaded after they made us do all those extra workouts during our morning practice. Actually, they're already starting to feel sore...

Wait, you're just bragging about how young and fit you are.

No, I'm telling the truth! Honest!
Oh...

That surprised me for a second...
Isn't that the uniform for...?

Kamiyama High, right?
Maybe a friend goes here.

(Yeah, seeing someone in a different uniform would be a bit surprising.)

(I'm going to stand out no matter what, so I'll just fiddle with my phone and pretend like I didn't notice.)

Hey, isn't that show Minori and her group are appearing on airing today?

(Oh, that's right!
They're gonna be on “Come Tell Us Your Good News!”)

I'm so excited.
But it starts at two in the morning, right? I dunno if I can stay awake.

(2:00 a.m.? No problem!
In my book, the night is still young.)

You promised that we'd have a call while we watched, so you gotta stay awake.

Alright, I will. I mean, I would rather see it in real-time than as a recording.

(Are they the same year as Minori? Which makes them second-years. What if they used to be in the same class?)

(Also, it's amazing how much she and the others have been on TV recently...)

Haha...

(Everyone around me seems to be working so hard at what they're doing...)

But Mafuyu takes priority right now.
Did she see my message...?

Oh, it says she had...
Does that mean she's coming to the gate, or...

Did you see the hair ribbon that person by the gate was wearing? It was so cute.

No, I was more focused on their pretty hairdo. What kind of ribbon was it?

It was dark brown with white stripes.
It was subtle, but still cute.
Oh, there was also a little charm on it!

(She noticed my ribbon? Sharp eyes.
Maybe she likes these kinds of accessories.)

(Wait, I ended up listening to their whole conversation...)

(Now I feel bad for eavesdropping. I'll try listening to some music instead...)

Oh, I got a message!
Does this mean...?

<Okay, I'm heading over now.>

Yes, Mafuyu replied!
<Great, I'll be waiting♪>

(Thank goodness. She's coming.
Now I'm really glad that I was able to knock out all those worksheets.)

(All that's left is...)

(To tell Mafuyu.)
