Good morning!
Good morning, Minori.
Hey, you seem pretty happy today.
Yeah, did something good happen?
Hehe. Check out this picture...!
Especially you, Haruka!!
What picture?
Wait... Th-That's...!
PenPyon?!
Yup! We got it from a claw machine at SpoJoy Park!
SpoJoy Park...? The sports facility by the station? Hang on. Did you go there just to get this?
Remember how I went out to exercise with Kanade? The thing is...
Really? So, you went to SpoJoy Park with Hoshino and a couple others.
Yeah! We went to the arcade and got in some exercise by rollerblading, playing bubble sumo and stuff.
Still, I'm surprised.
I didn't think Ena would be interested in exercising since she prefers to stay at home most of the time.
I see. Wait, didn't she mention something about swelling in her feet or ankles when we messaged her the other day?
Yeah, she did say that!
That might be why she thought that she needed to exercise.
Yeah, I think so.
Kanade also said that she wanted to increase her stamina so that she can keep composing music...
Increase her stamina to compose music?
Yeah...
And we can do something less strenuous and more fun this time! Maybe something simple, like the trampoline!
Fun...
Sorry, but I'd like to do something a bit more challenging...
Really? But...
I appreciate the concern you're showing for me, but since I'm here, I want to increase my stamina as much as I can.
Because if I don't, I would've skipped working on music for nothing.
Kanade...
(Kanade had such a serious look on her face that time.)
(I guess it's a testament to just how much composing music means to her...)
(But it was nice to see her having so much fun when we played strike zone together.)
Minori...?
Huh?! I'm sorry...!
What you said reminded me of something.
Oh, also...
If it's alright with you, Haruka, I'd like you to have this PenPyon!
What? I'm speechless... But you worked really hard to get it, right?
Yes, very!
We thought we could get it initially by rolling it to the chute, but that didn't go so well!
Then, Ena asked her brother's friend who's good at winning stuff from claw machines for some advice!
We took their advice and I had Kanade help me with the timing and stuff... And voila! We got it!
I see...
Yes, we worked really hard to get it, but it's also why I want it to go to someone who'll take good care of it. So, what do you say?
Thank you, Minori...
After working so hard to get it, I couldn't be happier to hear that you believe I'll take good care of it.
But... I can't accept your PenPyon.
Whaaat?!
Wh-Why not?!
You just said so yourself just now, right? How winning it was a collective effort.
Because you all worked together to get that PenPyon, I think it should stay with you as a reminder of how much fun you all had at SpoJoy Park.
I also have to think that PenPyon would like the same since you worked so hard to get it, no?
H-Haruka...!!
But if it's alright with you, Minori, I'd like to see it the next time I visit your house.
Yeah, of course...!
That's so nice of you, Haruka.
Not only did you think about how Minori would feel, you also took PenPyon's feelings into consideration.
Hehe. Yeah.
