(That should be it for morning practice today...)

Thank you for today, Asahina.

Hinomori, nice work today.

I hope practice wasn't too hard for you today. Do you feel all right? Are you tired at all?

Yes, I feel fine. I appreciate your concern, but I actually thought practice today was quite fun.

Oh, that's good then.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

W-Wait...

...?

Would you like to walk with me? I know we're in different classes, but maybe just part way?

Huh...?

Unless you're in a hurry...

I was hoping to chat a little since we've never really had a chance to...

No, I'd be happy to.

Thank you for the offer.

Shall we?

Yes! Thank you, Asahina.

Oh, Asahina...

Would you mind hearing this?

Sure, what is it?

You know how you gave me some suggestions for my group's stream the other day?

Thanks to you, we were able to come up with some wonderful ideas!

Oh, that's good.

I'm glad.

Yes, so am I!

We were able to have a nice moon viewing party as a result.

A moon viewing party...

(Right, we did talk about that.)

Hehe. We made some dango together and even did a segment where we pretended to be rabbits.

Again, it's all thanks to you.

I'm so glad I asked you for help, Asahina!

I'm still not sure if I really did much, but I'm glad that I was able to help, Hinomori.

By the way, does your family do moon viewings?

Hmm... Not lately, and I doubt we'll be doing one this year.

I see...

But you said, Lately.

Does that mean you used to do them?

Yes, we did...

When I was little, around the time I was in kindergarten or elementary school, I used to participate in moon viewings, Christmas parties and such...

Oh, so did we.

You too, Hinomori?

Yes. I also participated in my kindergarten's moon viewing parties and got to make dango with my classmates.

It's all still very fresh in my mind.

Really...?

(She remembers it that well...?)

Oh, it's time for class already...

I wish we could chat a little more.

Hehe. I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances. After all, we go to the same school and are in the same club.

That's true too! Hehe...

Anyway, Asahina, thank you for your time.

Let's talk again soon.

Yes, let's.

And thank you too.

I'll see you again during practice.

Okay, see you.

(Moon viewings, huh...?)

(But my schedule today really only involves studying and working on Nightcord.)

(It hardly feels like a tradition to me at this point...)

Oh, I need to get to class...
