Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy - Classroom 1-B
Uika(What Taki-chan always drinks is... almond milk, right?)
Uika(I have to apologize properly.)
TakiHuh? What is it?
UikaOh... is this not the one you liked?
TakiEh? Ah... Misumi-san?
UikaUm... well... The other day—
UmiriAre you cheating? Let's settle this in court.
UikaHuh?
TakiWhat's going on?
UmiriSneaking around like this... it's not something I can overlook. You should be honest with your true love.
UikaW-Wait a second. What are you talking about? I just wanted to apologize for what happened before.
TakiBefore?
UikaYou know, behind the school building...
Classmate ADoloris and Timoris look so picture-perfect today, too~♪
Classmate BTwo celebrities in the same class—it's like something out of a manga. Though it looks like there's some kind of drama going on...?
UmiriIt seems we've drawn quite a bit of attention.
UikaLet's go somewhere else. Okay?
TakiHuh... well, okay.
Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy - Vending Machine
UikaI was so awful to you that day... I'm really, truly sorry...!
TakiNo... I wasn't even holding onto it. Honestly, I'd forgotten all about it until just now...
UikaThat's a relief...
TakiYou don't need to be so formal about it. And I don't really need juice anyway.
UmiriOh my. I think it would be best to accept it graciously.
TakiIt's my choice, isn't it? By the way, why are you here, Umiri?
UmiriI'm keeping watch.
UikaOh, if you don't want almond juice, I can get you something else. What sounds good?
RānaMatcha.
UikaHuh?
RānaI want matcha.
Uika(Oh... she's with MyGO!!!!!...)
TakiStray cat, when did you... Hey, don't make things difficult for Misumi-san.
UmiriUnfortunately, it seems there's no matcha in the vending machine.
RānaThen that.
UikaHuh? Oh, this almond milk? If Taki-chan doesn't want it...
TakiRāna, don't try to take everything. This one's mine.
UikaHuh?
TakiI'll take it. I'd feel bad otherwise...
UikaI'm glad... Thank you.
TakiThere's nothing you need to thank me for...
UmiriIt seems the two of you have made peace. Oh, that's good. That's good.
TakiSeriously, what are you doing here, Umiri?
UikaThen I'll get one for Rāna-chan too. What would you like? Oh, there's a roasted green tea latte, though.
RānaRoasted green tea.
TakiMisumi-san, you really don't have to spoil her.
UikaNo. I caused trouble for everyone in MyGO!!!!!, so please let me treat you to something.
TakiDon't. She'll get used to it.
TakiShe's like this at band practice too—never listens to a word I say... and somehow I always end up buying her parfaits whenever something happens.
UikaI-I see. That sounds tough.
UmiriIt was the same when you invited me to MyGO!!!!!'s practice before. Almond milk in exchange for showing up, wasn't it?
UmiriUsing material things as bait—isn't that one of your bad habits, Taki-san?
TakiThat's not true. That was an equal exchange.
UmiriThen the same goes for Kaname-san's case, doesn't it?
UikaAh, ahaha...
RānaTasty.
TakiHey, what did I just say!? Sorry, Misumi-san.
UikaIt's fine. I wanted to give it to her.
UikaLooks like MyGO!!!!! has been through a lot, too.
UmiriBreak time is over. Since I'm on duty today, I'll head back first.
TakiFollows me all the way here and just leaves... You too, stray cat. Back to class.
RānaYeah.
UikaHuh!? Rāna-chan!? She just walked into the bushes...
Taki*Sigh*... Unbelievable. Come on, we're going to be late.
Uika、Taki...
TakiAre they doing okay?
UikaWhat?
TakiSakiko and Mutsumi.
UikaYeah...
UikaA lot happened, but... we're going to keep going—as Ave Mujica.
TakiWell, that's good.
UikaYeah...
TakiLet's head back to the classroom. We're really going to be late.
UikaYeah, right.
Uika(From here on out, we're going to keep going—as Ave Mujica...)
