Hello to a New Day!

Scramble Crossing
1
Saki
Humhumhuum♪
2
Miku
<Sounds like you're in a good mood, Saki.>
3
Saki
I am!
I mean, today was just so much fun!
4
Saki
I was a little anxious about what my new class was gonna look like, but it ended up feeling like a nice, fresh start!
5
Honami
I agree.
It was also nice to see some familiar faces.
6
???
Excellent!
Then, that's mission accomplished!
7
Ichika
Huh...?
8
Honami
I thought I heard a familiar voice just now...
9
Tsukasa
Ah, Saki, everyone!!!
10
Saki
Oh, Tsukasa!
11
Ichika
*Gasp*
Miku, hide!
12
Miku
<Hiding.>
13
Tsukasa
What are the odds that we'd run into each other here?!
14
Ichika
N-Not very high!
What brings you here today, Tsukasa...?
15
Tsukasa
I was just buying some running shoes.
The pair I was wearing reached its limit during practice the other day.
16
Saki
Oh, you mentioned that earlier this morning! Did you find a pair you like?
17
Tsukasa
Yes, and they're a perfect fit!
I was just heading home in the highest of spirits!
18
Honami
Which explains why you said, “Mission accomplished,” just now.
19
Shiho
Is “mission” really the right word for that...?
20
Tsukasa
Anyway, how were things at Miya Girls? The opening ceremony was today, yes?
21
Saki
It was super fun!
Also, guess what? Shiho and I are in the same class♪
22
Tsukasa
Ah, that's wonderful to hear!
I hope you won't mind keeping an eye on her for me, Shiho!
23
Shiho
Uh, sure...
24
Tsukasa
The opening ceremony for my school was also today. It ended up being quite the spectacle.
25
Saki
Wait, really?
What was it like?
26
Tsukasa
Well, where do I begin...?
First, when I headed over to my new class...
Kamiyama High School - Class 3-C
27
Tsukasa
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
28
Tsukasa
H-How...?! Can it be...?!
29
Tsukasa
I'm in the same class as you, Rui?!
30
Rui
Well, this is quite the surprise.
31
Rui
I'd heard rumors about naughty children being placed in separate classes in order to make things easier for the teachers.
32
Tsukasa
I see... Wait, naughty children?
33
Rui
(In all likelihood, they decided it'd be easier to keep an eye on us if we were in the same class since we're seen together quite a lot.)
34
Classmates
Geez, they put the Weirdo Wombo Combo in the same class...?
35
Classmates
How is this okay...?
I don't even wanna think about what's gonna happen during class...
36
Classmates
This could be interesting.
They do always seem to have fun together.
37
Tsukasa
Hm?
We seem to be attracting quite a bit of attention.
38
Tsukasa
Does this mean...?
39
Tsukasa
Do my classmates know a star when they see one?! Are they that entranced by my aura?!
40
Rui
Hmm... That could be one reason...
41
Rui
In any case, I'm glad that we're classmates. Let's do our best this year leading up to our graduation, Tsukasa.
42
Tsukasa
Yes!
Let's do our best!
43
Tsukasa
Now, as for the opening ceremony...
I was about to head over, but we seem to still have some time.
44
Tsukasa
Wait, of course!
Why don't we go over to see Nene?
45
Rui
Hm? Nene?
46
Tsukasa
Yes.
She didn't sound very excited about her new class during practice the other day. I was thinking that we could help her relax if she's still feeling nervous.
47
Rui
Hmm...
I'm not sure us visiting her class is going to make her feel any better...
48
Rui
But it may be worth taking a look.
I am interested in seeing what her class is like.
49
Tsukasa
Yes, that's what I like to hear!
Let's head over to the second-year classrooms!
