Minase Girls' Academy - Classroom 2-A

MahoroSo... I've come full circle, and I've decided convenience store croquettes are unbeatable after all...!

Friend AOoh, I like that. Wanna stop by on the way home today?

Friend BCroquettes, huh... I've been eating a little too much lately.

NagiUm... Excuse me. Could you get Hamasaki-senpai for me?

Friend AWait, that's Kotohira-san! Wow, she's so pretty~!

MahoroNagi-chan! What's up? Need something?

NagiThis.

MahoroHuh? Oh... My gym clothes. How did you end up with these, Nagi-chan?

NagiYou handed them to me, remember?

NagiWhen we got to school and were heading upstairs from the shoe lockers, you stopped to put your indoor shoes back on. You said there was a tiny pebble or something in one of them.

NagiYou handed these to me and said, "Hold these for a sec."

MahoroOh...

NagiThen the second you were done, someone yelled, "I'm on class duty today!" And who was it that ran off?

MahoroI'm sorry.

NagiHaha. You're forgiven.

Friend AHey, Mahoro, you're friends with Kotohira-san? Oh, is she the childhood friend you told us about?

MahoroThat's right. We've been together since we were little.

NagiHi...

Friend AYou should've told us sooner! Having Kotohira-san as your childhood friend is so cool~!

MahoroGeez, you guys only ever talk about Nagi-chan.

Friend ASorry! Didn't you say you had another childhood friend too, Mahoro? Introduce her to us sometime!

MahoroAh...

Nagi...

Friend BHey, aren't you getting called on in math next? Shouldn't you be studying?

Friend AOh, right! Aww, I wanted to hear more! See you later!

Friend BI'm sorry... I'll talk to her later.

MahoroNo, it's okay. Thanks.

MahoroSorry... Nagi-chan. She's only been my friend since second year, so... She doesn't know Kanata.

NagiWell... it can't be helped. This school's huge.

MahoroYeah...

MahoroBut even after that amazing cultural festival live last year, Kanata's fading from everyone's memories.

MahoroMaybe that's just how it is with a band people don't even know personally...

NagiMahoro...

Mahoro...!

NagiWhat!?

MahoroOw... Ahaha, you really shouldn't slap yourself.

MahoroOkay... I'm fine. As long as we don't forget, Kanata is still here. Right, Nagi-chan?

NagiYeah...

MahoroThanks for bringing my gym clothes back! You really saved me~!

NagiI'm glad I could help... All right, I'm heading back too.

MahoroOkay! Thanks, Nagi-chan~!

MahoroI'm fine...

Mahoro(I have to keep going, even carrying this pain with me.)
