The park knows about the sign back there now, so all that's left to do is...

Nene

I think we're finally getting a break from the rain. We should probably head down before it starts up again.

3
Character icon
Rui

Yes, I agree.

4
Character icon
Nene

But those two girls back there...

I swear I've seen them before...

5
Character icon
Rui

Which two girls?

6
Character icon
Nene

Um...

7
Character icon
Nene

Oh! I remember now!

8
Character icon
Nene

Airi Momoi and Shizuku Hinomori!

They're both idols, right?

9
Character icon
Rui

Idols?

10
Character icon
Nene

Yeah, I've seen them on TV before.

11
Character icon
Rui

Oh, are they famous?

12
Character icon
Nene

I guess you wouldn't know, Rui. You've never been interested in music shows or celebrity news and stuff...

13
Character icon
Rui

You have me there... Oh, would you look at that...!

14
Character icon
Airi

Finally, found you! E-Excuse me!

15
Character icon
Airi

Thank you for helping us out back there! You really saved us!

16
Character icon
Rui

You came all this way to tell us that?

17
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes. We wanted to thank you sooner, but were still pretty flustered about what just happened.

18
Character icon
Ena

Thank you very much for what you did.

19
Character icon
Nene

Oh, um... We just happened to be passing by and...

20
Character icon
Airi

And that led to you saving us.

We can't thank you enough!

21
Character icon
Nene

Y-You're welcome...

22
Character icon
Nene

(Th-They really are idols...

It's like they actually have this sort of shine or sparkle to them...)

23
Character icon
Rui

(But what about Mizuki...?)

24
Character icon
Mizuki

...

25
Character icon
Rui

...?

26
Character icon
Rui

(After we saved everyone,

Mizuki looked ecstatic...)

27
Character icon
Rui

(But I sensed it before at school...

Maybe something is wrong...)

28
Character icon
Mizuki

...

29
Character icon
Rui

Oh...

30
Character icon
Mizuki

We should get back soon. I think we've made the other people on this tour wait long enough already.

31
Character icon
Rui

(That may've been a mistake...)

32
Character icon
Rui

(Staring at Mizuki like that probably triggered a few alarm bells. I may not be able to ask what's the matter now...)

33
Character icon
Airi

Alright, we'll be heading off now.

34
Character icon
Mizuki

Bye bye♪

Later, Rui...!

35
Character icon
Rui

Yes, I'll see you at school.

36
Character icon
Rui

...

37
Character icon
Nene

Rui? Is something about Akiyama bothering you...?

38
Character icon
Rui

Oh, no. It's nothing.

Why do you ask?

39
Character icon
Nene

Why? Because you had this really serious expression on your face just now.

40
Character icon
Rui

...

41
Character icon
Rui

(Mizuki's smile just now... Maybe it wasn't an act. What if it was for me...?)

42
Character icon
Rui

Look at us. You're worried about me while I'm worried about Mizuki.

43
Character icon
Nene

You are? Is something wrong?

44
Character icon
Rui

I'm not sure. That's partly what concerns me...

45
Character icon
Nene

You've known Akiyama since junior high, right...?

46
Character icon
Rui

Yes...

47
Character icon
Nene

Are you sure you don't want to go and say something?

48
Character icon
Rui

Yes, I'm sure. I'd be causing the rest of the group trouble, and I can just try asking about it at school.

49
Character icon
Nene

Okay, if you say so...

50
Character icon
Rui

I appreciate your concern, Nene.

51
Character icon
Rui

Shall we head home now?
