Haruka

Listen

(I'm glad I was able to finish putting together our training schedules.)
2

Haruka

Listen

(I was even able to come up with individualized plans for Tenma, Shinonome and myself, since the stages we'll each be doing are all different.)
3

Haruka

Listen

I couldn't have done this without MEIKO's help...
4

Haruka

Listen

(But we don't have much time, so these schedules are pretty intense.)
5

Haruka

Listen

(I don't even know if Tenma and Shinonome will agree to do this...)
6

Haruka

Listen

(Oh, that reminds me...)

Haruka

Listen

Hey, An? Sorry, I know it's late.
8

An

Listen

<That's totally fine. Anyway, what's up?
You usually message me instead of calling like this.>
9

Haruka

Listen

I wanted to ask you something.
10

Haruka

Listen

I'm going to be competing in an event called “Shinobi Battle” with Tenma and Shinonome...
11

An

Listen

<Yeah, I heard!
Akito sounded super stoked. “If we're in it, we're in it to win it!”>
12

Haruka

Listen

I see...
13

Haruka

Listen

I actually just came up with some training schedules that I think will help us win.
14

Haruka

Listen

But I'd like to hear your opinion, since I feel that I may be asking too much of them.
15

An

Listen

<Wait, you want my advice?
I don't really know a lot about this kind of stuff...>
16

Haruka

Listen

But you're friends with both Tenma and Shinonome, right? I was hoping you could tell me more about how they train on a daily basis.
17

An

Listen

<Oh, okay!
I should be able to help you there!>
18

Haruka

Listen

In that case, I'll send over what I made now. If you don't mind taking a look at it...
19

An

Listen

<No, wait!
Do we have to talk about this now?>
20

Haruka

Listen

Huh? No, not necessarily...
Are you busy right now?
21

An

Listen

<No, I just thought that we could chat in person!>
22

An

Listen

<Are you free tomorrow after school?
If you are, wanna come over to the cafe?>
23

Haruka

Listen

(I'm having that meeting with Minori and the others to discuss how we're going to do our Shinobi Battle stream. But I should be free afterwards...)
24

Haruka

Listen

I'm meeting with the other to discuss a stream, but I should be able to head over once it's done. Would that be okay?
25

An

Listen

<Okay! Then, we'll meet at the cafe once your meeting's finished!>
26

Haruka

Listen

Alright, sounds good.
The next day

Haruka

Listen

Hello.
28

An

Listen

Welcome! Table for one?
29

Haruka

Listen

No, I'm meeting a friend.
She should be here already...
30

An

Listen

Yes, she arrived here a little while ago, and got some cleaning in to boot.
31

Haruka & An

Listen

Hehe.
Haha.

32

An

Listen

Here's some tea.
Sorry, this is sorta all we have, since we're closed right now.

33

Haruka

Listen

That's okay. I'll gladly have this.

34

Haruka

Listen

Mmm... This is nice...
35

Haruka

Listen

I'd heard the cafe would be closing for a while, but it doesn't really feel like it's been closed up.
36

An

Listen

Yeah. We've still been using it, just as a training space.
37

An

Listen

Speaking of which...
I took a look at the training schedules you sent over.
38

Haruka

Listen

What did you think?
39

An

Listen

They look really intense!
I totally get why you wanted to hear my opinion.
40

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, I had a feeling...
41

An

Listen

But they should work just fine!
42

Haruka

Listen

Huh...?
43

An

Listen

Lemme start with Akito. He trains the hardest out of everyone on our team, so he's as tough as nails!
44

An

Listen

If anything, he's the type who gets excited whenever he's faced with a difficult challenge!
45

Haruka

Listen

I see...
46

An

Listen

As for Tenma... One of my classmates does shows with him, and she's told me a lot about him!
47

An

Listen

He's apparently been training really hard lately too.
48

An

Listen

She said he can climb, or run, up walls or something now? Anyway, I don't think you have to worry about either of them.
49

Haruka

Listen

Okay...
50

Haruka

Listen

I guess I got a little ahead of myself.

51

Haruka

Listen

(I mean, those two were training that day in order to make their dreams come true, after all.)
52

Haruka

Listen

Sorry for making you gather all this information for me, An.
53

An

Listen

That's okay.
All I really had to do was ask a friend in class.
54

An

Listen

If anything, I think it's good that you're being so careful and considerate about all this, Haruka.
55

An

Listen

Still, this is Akito and Tenma we're talking about. You really don't need to hold back for those two.
56

Haruka

Listen

I know you're all friends, An, but I'm not sure you're allowed to say that.
57

An

Listen

Heehee.
58

Haruka

Listen

(You're always like this...)
59

Haruka

Listen

(But I'm glad I asked you about this.)
60

Haruka

Listen

(Thank you so much, An.)
