Uika

(What Taki-chan always drinks is...
almond milk, right?)

Uika

(I have to apologize properly.)

Taki

Huh? What is it?

Uika

Oh... is this not the one you liked?

Taki

Eh? Ah... Misumi-san?

Uika

Um... well... The other day—

Umiri

Are you cheating? Let's settle this in court.

Uika

Huh?

Taki

What's going on?

Umiri

Sneaking around like this... it's not something I can overlook.
You should be honest with your true love.

Uika

W-Wait a second. What are you talking about?
I just wanted to apologize for what happened before.

Taki

Before?

Uika

You know, behind the school building...

Classmate A

Doloris and Timoris look so picture-perfect today, too~♪

Classmate B

Two 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...?

Umiri

It seems we've drawn quite a bit of attention.

Uika

Let's go somewhere else. Okay?

Taki

Huh... well, okay.

Uika

I was so awful to you that day...
I'm really, truly sorry...!

Taki

No... I wasn't even holding onto it.
Honestly, I'd forgotten all about it until just now...

Uika

That's a relief...

Taki

You don't need to be so formal about it.
And I don't really need juice anyway.

Umiri

Oh my.
I think it would be best to accept it graciously.

Taki

It's my choice, isn't it? By the way, why are you here, Umiri?

Umiri

I'm keeping watch.

Uika

Oh, if you don't want almond juice, I can get you something else.
What sounds good?

Rāna

Matcha.

Uika

Huh?

Rāna

I want matcha.

Uika

(Oh... she's with MyGO!!!!!...)

Taki

Stray cat, when did you... Hey, don't make things difficult for Misumi-san.

Umiri

Unfortunately, it seems there's no matcha in the vending machine.

Rāna

Then that.

Uika

Huh? Oh, this almond milk?
If Taki-chan doesn't want it...

Taki

Rāna, don't try to take everything. This one's mine.

Uika

Huh?

Taki

I'll take it. I'd feel bad otherwise...

Uika

I'm glad... Thank you.

Taki

There's nothing you need to thank me for...

Umiri

It seems the two of you have made peace.
Oh, that's good. That's good.

Taki

Seriously, what are you doing here, Umiri?

Uika

Then I'll get one for Rāna-chan too. What would you like?
Oh, there's a roasted green tea latte, though.

Rāna

Roasted green tea.

Taki

Misumi-san, you really don't have to spoil her.

Uika

No. I caused trouble for everyone in MyGO!!!!!,
so please let me treat you to something.

Taki

Don't. She'll get used to it.

Taki

She'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.

Uika

I-I see. That sounds tough.

Umiri

It was the same when you invited me to MyGO!!!!!'s practice before.
Almond milk in exchange for showing up, wasn't it?

Umiri

Using material things as bait—isn't that one of your bad habits, Taki-san?

Taki

That's not true. That was an equal exchange.

Umiri

Then the same goes for Kaname-san's case, doesn't it?

Uika

Ah, ahaha...

Rāna

Tasty.

Taki

Hey, what did I just say!?
Sorry, Misumi-san.

Uika

It's fine. I wanted to give it to her.

Uika

Looks like MyGO!!!!! has been through a lot, too.

Umiri

Break time is over.
Since I'm on duty today, I'll head back first.

Taki

Follows me all the way here and just leaves...
You too, stray cat. Back to class.

Rāna

Yeah.

Uika

Huh!? Rāna-chan!?
She just walked into the bushes...

Taki

*Sigh*...
Unbelievable. Come on, we're going to be late.

Uika & Taki

...

Taki

Are they doing okay?

Uika

What?

Taki

Sakiko and Mutsumi.

Uika

Yeah...

Uika

A lot happened, but...
we're going to keep going—as Ave Mujica.

Taki

Well, that's good.

Uika

Yeah...

Taki

Let's head back to the classroom. We're really going to be late.

Uika

Yeah, right.

Uika

(From here on out, we're going to keep going—as Ave Mujica...)
