Minase Girls' Academy - School Gate

HoukaAll right, we'd better hurry to the Garage.

NagiYeah. Mahoro just messaged me. Everyone else is already there.

HoukaWho would have thought homeroom would run so late?

NagiNatsume-senpai's probably furious.

HoukaWell, we do have a perfectly good reason this time... Oh?

Middle School Student AC-Come on, let's go ask them... This might be our only chance...!

Middle School Student BBut they look like they're in a hurry. Wouldn't we be bothering them...?

HoukaNagi-san, Nagi-san♪

NagiWhat is it...? Come on, let's hurry.

HoukaOh, you know perfectly well. Those middle school girls are watching us.

Nagi*Sigh*...

HoukaThere you go. Off you go♪

NagiHey, don't push me—

Middle School Student AOh...!

NagiAh...

Middle School Student BUm... Are you heading to practice now, Senpai?

NagiYeah. We are.

Middle School Student AUm, these are... We made cookies in home ec class! We thought everyone in your band might like some...!

NagiThanks... I think everyone will be happy.

NagiOh...

Middle School Student A?

NagiYou've got a bandage on your finger... Did you hurt yourself?

Middle School Student AOh! I burned it a little when I took them out of the oven... But I'm totally fine!

NagiI see... That's good, then.

NagiUm... Just be more careful next time, okay? The cookies make me happy, but I'd worry if you got hurt.

Middle School Student AY-Yes! I'll be careful! E-Excuse us!

Middle School Student BOh my gosh, oh my gosh... I'm so glad we worked up the nerve to do it!

Nagi...

HoukaThat went well, Kotohira-senpai♪

NagiYou're enjoying this, aren't you?

HoukaWhy, not at all. I am simply delighted that one of my bandmates is so adored.

NagiYou heard them, didn't you? They said these were for everyone.

HoukaYes, yes. I know that♪

HoukaStill... Could you not have been a touch more gracious with them?

NagiLike a certain someone?

HoukaYour little fan club, was it? It's rather lovely to be held in such high regard, isn't it?

NagiI mean... I am happy. I just honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do.

HoukaA smile and a little wave would do nicely.

NagiDon't assume everyone finds that kind of thing easy...

HoukaHehe. No one would ever imagine that the cool, admired Kotohira-senpai could be quite so endearingly awkward♪

NagiEnough already... Let's go.

HoukaOh, honestly. Please don't leave me behind♪
