Oh, Shiho... Good morning.

M-Morning.

Good morning.

So, what should we do...?

R-Right, well...

Is something going on...?

Uh, well...

We just heard this rumor about you, Shiho...

What rumor?

So...

We heard that you and Homani had a fight...

Oh, that...

(It was right after school got out and club activities were about to begin, so I was pretty sure that only some people from the indoor clubs would be around...)

(But I guess we were louder than I thought...)

Sorry about that...

We said what we needed to and we've made up since.

Thank goodness...!

When I got to school this morning, everyone in our class and Honami's were all talking about what happened.

Oh, geez... So everyone knows about that?

Not everyone. Just our class and hers is my guess...

I mean, I'd have a hard time believing anyone saying that Honami raising her voice towards someone considering how nice she is to everybody.

True.

The girls I talked to seemed pretty doubtful about it too.

I'll make sure to tell them later that you two have made up already.

Thanks...

But you two really did have a fight, huh...?

Yeah.

Or rather... She forced me into a corner and made me see her point.

What?!

Th-That's incredible.

She made you change your mind about something?

I was just as surprised. I didn't think Honami was capable of raising her voice like that until now.

It must've been important. So important that she wasn't willing to budge.

Oh, wait, I think I understand... Was she doing it for you, Shiho?

Correct...

Getting mad at someone for their own sake is something Honami would do.

*Nod*

I mean, she had to have a reason for doing that. It wouldn't make sense otherwise...

Yeah. My mind even started wandering towards you maybe doing something that you weren't supposed to, Shiho...!

Something I'm not supposed to...?

What exactly falls into that category in your mind, Minori?

Huh? Like, um... Littering!

What?

Huh?

Hehe. That's right. Littering was the first thing that came to your mind when you heard about what Honami did.

Littering isn't good, but you thought Honami would get that mad over something like that?

Yeah, because she's on the Cleanup Committee!

That's true but...

What kind of person do you think I am, Minori?

Hehehe.

Oh, Shiho! Are you on your way over there?

Yeah. Wanna go together?

Sure!

There's a rumor going around about you raising your voice towards someone, Honami.

Hehe. I heard.

Everyone in my class couldn't believe it.

But everything's okay now.

I told them all what happened and they seemed to understand.

That's good.

By the way, word reached my class too.

Minori somehow convinced herself that you were mad at me because I was littering or something.

Hehe. Littering?

Oh, Minori.

I know, right?

But that would bother me a little.

Because you're on the Cleanup Committee?

No, even if I wasn't.

I think it's important to be there to tell your friends if they're doing something that you feel isn't right.

Yeah.

I'll be more careful from now on.

Yes, please do.

Hehe.
