Man, I'm beat.
Same here. I heard there's an after-party later, but I dunno if I'll go.
Yeah, me neither. I'm kinda tired.
(Are they...daytime students...?)
(If there are people here, maybe we should find somewhere—)
By the way, was that Akiyama running in the corridor just now?
Yeah, I think so.
Akiyama'd be pretty cute if it weren't for...y'know.
(Are they talking about Mizuki...?)
(I mean, Mizuki is good-looking, you'd have to admit.)
Ugh, cut it out man...
C'mon, am I wrong?
Hm? Is somebody there...?
Oh! Weren't you going around with Akiyama today?
...!
(Shoot, they're talking to me.)
Um, hello. Yes, I was...
See? I was right!
Cool it man, what are you doing getting in her face like that? You're weirding her out.
C'mon, where's your festival spirit?
I haven't seen you much around here. Are you a pal of Akiyama's?
Well... We've known each other for a while now.
Wow, really? Oh, then...
Does that mean you're also a dude?
...
Huh?
Hey, quit it...!
C'mon, it was just a joke. Hahaha, sorry.
What's your problem?
A joke...? It wasn't funny at all.
Hey, I said I was sorry. I'm sure you're actually a regular girl—
...?
What's that supposed to mean?
Huh...?
What do you mean, “regular”...?
H-Hey, I think she seriously doesn't know...
I told you to cut it out!
B-But, she said they've known each other for a while. Why wouldn't she know?!
It's not like Akiyama hides it!
Wait...
(It's not...a joke...?)
(Wait... What...?)
(So...)
(That means...)
(The thing Mizuki wanted to discuss...)
Ack...!
...?!
Oh...
...
...!
Wait, Mizuki!!!
