Humhumhuum♪
<Sounds like you're in a good mood, Saki.>
I am!
I mean, today was just so much fun!
I was a little anxious about what my new class was gonna look like, but it ended up feeling like a nice, fresh start!
I agree.
It was also nice to see some familiar faces.
Excellent!
Then, that's mission accomplished!
Huh...?
I thought I heard a familiar voice just now...
Ah, Saki, everyone!!!
Oh, Tsukasa!
*Gasp*
Miku, hide!
<Hiding.>
What are the odds that we'd run into each other here?!
N-Not very high!
What brings you here today, Tsukasa...?
I was just buying some running shoes.
The pair I was wearing reached its limit during practice the other day.
Oh, you mentioned that earlier this morning! Did you find a pair you like?
Yes, and they're a perfect fit!
I was just heading home in the highest of spirits!
Which explains why you said, “Mission accomplished,” just now.
Is “mission” really the right word for that...?
Anyway, how were things at Miya Girls? The opening ceremony was today, yes?
It was super fun!
Also, guess what? Shiho and I are in the same class♪
Ah, that's wonderful to hear!
I hope you won't mind keeping an eye on her for me, Shiho!
Uh, sure...
The opening ceremony for my school was also today. It ended up being quite the spectacle.
Wait, really?
What was it like?
Well, where do I begin...?
First, when I headed over to my new class...
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
H-How...?! Can it be...?!
I'm in the same class as you, Rui?!
Well, this is quite the surprise.
I'd heard rumors about naughty children being placed in separate classes in order to make things easier for the teachers.
I see... Wait, naughty children?
(In all likelihood, they decided it'd be easier to keep an eye on us if we were in the same class since we're seen together quite a lot.)
Geez, they put the Weirdo Wombo Combo in the same class...?
How is this okay...?
I don't even wanna think about what's gonna happen during class...
This could be interesting.
They do always seem to have fun together.
Hm?
We seem to be attracting quite a bit of attention.
Does this mean...?
Do my classmates know a star when they see one?! Are they that entranced by my aura?!
Hmm... That could be one reason...
In any case, I'm glad that we're classmates. Let's do our best this year leading up to our graduation, Tsukasa.
Yes!
Let's do our best!
Now, as for the opening ceremony...
I was about to head over, but we seem to still have some time.
Wait, of course!
Why don't we go over to see Nene?
Hm? Nene?
Yes.
She didn't sound very excited about her new class during practice the other day. I was thinking that we could help her relax if she's still feeling nervous.
Hmm...
I'm not sure us visiting her class is going to make her feel any better...
But it may be worth taking a look.
I am interested in seeing what her class is like.
Yes, that's what I like to hear!
Let's head over to the second-year classrooms!
