The bell rang not too long ago, so I'm supposed to meet the μ's second year's in classroom B.
Is this the one? 1-B... Honoka never specified which classroom B.
But this could be a first year classroom?
Or maybe the number doesn't matter?
Only one way to find out.
...
Whoops, wrong classroom.
AKI: "Excuse me?"
MAKI: "You're..."
RIN: "Did you come all the way here for us? I'm so happy!"
HANAYO: "Nice to see you! I'm not very experienced, so I'm glad you're here to help out."
MAKI: "..."
RIN: "What's wrong, Maki? Why aren't you saying anything?"
MAKI: "Why would I have to say something?"
HANAYO: "H-He's here to help, so you should at least greet him properly, right?"
RIN: "Maki can kind of put up an act."
AKI: "Maki, you're a little shy, huh?"
MAKI: "N-Not really. I just don't have anything to say. Besides, I don't think it's necessary to get help from anyone. We've gone through a lot, and the nine of us have always found a way to get through it."
HANAYO: "Come on, Maki. You're being rude."
MAKI: "No, that's...not how I meant it! That's not what I wanted to say."
AKI: "Don't worry about it."
RIN: "I think it's great that you're going to help us out!"
AKI: "I'm looking forward to it, Rin."
RIN: "You already remembered my name? I'm elated! This is Kayo-chin, and I guess you know Maki now."
HANAYO: "Hanayo Koizumi. Nice to meetcha."
MAKI: "Rin, you should really introduce us more formally."
RIN: *Chuckle* "Right."
AKI: "Okay, we're properly introduced now. Hanayo, Rin, Maki. It's nice to meet you!"
RIN: "Hey, do you like cats?"
AKI: "Cats? Yeah, I guess. Do you, Rin?"
RIN: "Yep! They're so soft and small and cute. I wanna be just like one! Nya!"
AKI: "I...see..."
RIN: "What else what else? ...Oh, are you a school idol?"
AKI: "No, for obvious reasons."
RIN: "You don't want to become a school idol?!"
AKI: "I'm a boy."
RIN: "That didn't stop me, people say that I look like a boy. But I'm a school idol, nya."
AKI: "I just came here to interview and help everyone. Besides, I don't think being a school idol is really for me."
RIN: "You don't? Well, I don't really have a school idol's cuteness, but I bring LOTS of energy to the stage! So don't give up! You'll find your place!"
AKI: "I said I'm not a school idol though! I will never become one!"
MAKI: "Rin, it's nice that you have so much energy, but can you calm down a little?"
HANAYO: "Whether it's on the stage or at school, things are always more lively with Rin around! Everyone loves Rin!"
MAKI: "I guess so."
AKI: "Rin, you give everyone a lot of energy, huh? I can already tell how much energy you provide. People can't stop smiling when they're around you."
RIN: "You better be ready, because I'm gonna give you a lot of energy, too, nya!"
AKI: "Thanks!"
I hope I can give her some energy, too.
RIN: "Oh yeah, we're working on a new dance for our new song. It's really cool! See?!"
AKI: "Whoa!"
She almost hit me...
HANAYO: "Rin, it's dangerous to just start dancing out of nowhere."
RIN: "Right, whoops! I'll continue this in the club room."
She's so cute and energetic and free. Just like a cat!
MAKI: "Aren't you forgetting something?"
RIN: "Oh... Ahh! What should I do?!"
HANAYO: "What's wrong, Rin?"
RIN: "I totally forgot my homework for fifth period modern Japanese!"
HANAYO: "Let's take an early lunch and do it together then. You'll make it in time."
RIN: "All right! I love you, Kayo-chin!"
AKI: "They're really good friends, huh?"
MAKI: "It feels more like Hanayo is taking care of Rin."
RIN: *Chuckle* "I wish you guys would take care of me, too."
She really is a cat...
MAKI: "Oh, get off of me. You're such a baby sometimes, Rin."
AKI: *Laughs*
Maki looks happy, though. They're all really close with each other.
HANAYO: "I feel like...Rin takes more care of me more than I take care of her though."
MAKI: "Rin does? How?"
RIN: "Hmm, I wonder."
AKI: "You can't think of an example, Rin?"
HANAYO: *Giggle* "We don't usually talk about this stuff.
I've been shy since I was little, and couldn't do anything by myself. She would hold my hanf and take me to lots of places."
RIN: "Kayo-chin..."
HANAYO: "That's why I have so much respect for you, Rin. I love you."
RIN: "..."
HANAYO: "That's going a little far, though. *Chuckle* Sorry for bringing it up."
RIN: "Kayo-chin!"
HANAYO: "Yahhh! *Giggle* I can't breathe, Rin!"
RIN: "I'll never let you go! I don't care if you don't like it! I'll always hold your hand!"
AKI: "Did I just witness...a confession?"
MAKI: "They're always like this. Geez, they should do that somewhere else, you know?"
AKI: "Yeah, I get how you feel."
RIN: "What? You're just like Maki. Not very honest."
HANAYO: "Maki and everyone else in μ's help me a lot, too. You might end ip giving me a hand in the end, but I'll try my best to help you, too."
AKI: "Yeah! I can't wait!"
Huh?
AKI: "Is someone looking at us though the door window?"
MAKI: "Really?"
*THUD*
NICO: "Owww..."
Nico...
AKI: "Hold on, I'm going to investigate."
