The park knows about the sign back there now, so all that's left to do is...
I think we're finally getting a break from the rain. We should probably head down before it starts up again.
Yes, I agree.
But those two girls back there...
I swear I've seen them before...
Which two girls?
Um...
Oh! I remember now!
Airi Momoi and Shizuku Hinomori!
They're both idols, right?
Idols?
Yeah, I've seen them on TV before.
Oh, are they famous?
I guess you wouldn't know, Rui. You've never been interested in music shows or celebrity news and stuff...
You have me there... Oh, would you look at that...!
Finally, found you! E-Excuse me!
Thank you for helping us out back there! You really saved us!
You came all this way to tell us that?
Yes. We wanted to thank you sooner, but were still pretty flustered about what just happened.
Thank you very much for what you did.
Oh, um... We just happened to be passing by and...
And that led to you saving us.
We can't thank you enough!
Y-You're welcome...
(Th-They really are idols...
It's like they actually have this sort of shine or sparkle to them...)
(But what about Mizuki...?)
...
...?
(After we saved everyone,
Mizuki looked ecstatic...)
(But I sensed it before at school...
Maybe something is wrong...)
...
Oh...
We should get back soon. I think we've made the other people on this tour wait long enough already.
(That may've been a mistake...)
(Staring at Mizuki like that probably triggered a few alarm bells. I may not be able to ask what's the matter now...)
Alright, we'll be heading off now.
Bye bye♪
Later, Rui...!
Yes, I'll see you at school.
...
Rui? Is something about Akiyama bothering you...?
Oh, no. It's nothing.
Why do you ask?
Why? Because you had this really serious expression on your face just now.
...
(Mizuki's smile just now... Maybe it wasn't an act. What if it was for me...?)
Look at us. You're worried about me while I'm worried about Mizuki.
You are? Is something wrong?
I'm not sure. That's partly what concerns me...
You've known Akiyama since junior high, right...?
Yes...
Are you sure you don't want to go and say something?
Yes, I'm sure. I'd be causing the rest of the group trouble, and I can just try asking about it at school.
Okay, if you say so...
I appreciate your concern, Nene.
Shall we head home now?
