Thanks, An!

Then, I'll see you Sunday!

Yeah! See you then!

Hehe. An entire day with Kohane, Haruka and Minori...

(How long's it been since I last saw Minori? The Fan Festival?)

(And I haven't seen Haruka since her birthday. I can't wait!)

I'm back!

Hey, An! Welcome home!

Is your team all done with practice today?

Yup!

Just give me a second, Dad, and I'll lend you a hand!

Hm? Someone's in a good mood.

Did something good happen?

Hehe. Actually...

I'm going on a date this Sunday.

A date?

A... A date?!

A-A-An's going on a date?!

Hm...?

Yeah, hold on! No one's said anything about you seeing anyone!

Huh...?

Why are you guys so surprised?

Of course we're surprised!

Right, Ken?

Hahahah!

What's there to be surprised about?

What?! Does that mean you know who she's going out with, Ken?!

Well, yeah.

Just think about it.

She found such a cute girl to be her partner.

O-Ohh...! That's who she was talking about...!!

Haha. Now it all makes sense!

Yeah, who else would it be?

Aww, you figured it out?

I thought I had you guys going there...

How would I not? You're my daughter.

Also, what happened to lending me a hand?

Be right there.

Morning, An!

Morning!

Oh...

(I haven't told Akito or Toya yet about us taking Sunday off.)

Hehe...

Akito, Toya, morning!

There's something I need to tell you guys. Got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Is it about practice today?

Hehe. No, actually...

I'm going on a date this Sunday!

(Oh, with Kohane.)

(She must be talking about Azusawa.)

Alright, have fun.

Huh? Wait, hold on...

Yes. It's important to take breaks every now and then.

Do you guys already know that I'm going with Kohane...?

Hm? Yes, well...

I mean, who else would you be talking about?

Ugh, you guys are so boring. Dad and the others included...

What were you expecting us to say...?

*Yawn*... Oh...

Hey, An, Toya, Li'l Bro.

Good morning♪

Hey, Mizuki! Good morning!

Morning. Hey, it's pretty rare to see you here on time.

Heh heh heh. See, I'm a good student. Anyway, what were you guys just talking about? Whatever it was, it sounded pretty fun.

Oh, yeah!

I'm going on a date this Sunday!

Oh, with Kohane?

Good for you, An♪

Wait, Mizuki, you knew too...?

Huh? I mean, is there anyone who wouldn't be able to figure that out?

That obvious...?

All you do is go around telling everyone about “Kohane this” and “Kohane that”, so it can't be that hard.

Also, it just means that everyone knows how close you two are, you know?

Yeah, I guess so...

Anyway, we're gonna head back to class.

See you again after school.

Yeah, see you guys later...

Hmm... I'm happy but feel conflicted for some reason...

Haha. Don't worry so much about it. Come on, let's get back to class.
