<How is it, K...?>

<There, all done...

Now we just have to upload it.>

<Finally, we can relax now!>

<Yeah. Thanks, K.>

<Nice work with this, everyone.

And sorry about asking all of you to make last-minute adjustments in the end...>

<It's okay. If it helps make your song more complete, K, I don't mind.>

<Do you always have to be so blunt? A little tact goes a long way, you know?>

<And there's no need for you to be apologizing either, K.>

<Yeah, I'm doing this because I truly think it's fun♪>

<Thank you...>

<Oh, Enanan, Amia, you went to that pancake place yesterday, right? How was it? Were you able to make it?>

<Yeah, but we decided to go later in the day.>

<And the pancakes were sooo good! Enanan's Li'l Bro was all twisted in knots about being forced to go, but he really liked it too!>

<Oh, didn't you say that you get a discount for going as three or more? So Enanan's younger brother was your third?>

<Yes. Oh, I almost forgot!

We even ran into Yuki along the way.>

<Wait, you did?>

<Yes. I was on my way to cram school, and I ended up talking to Enanan's little brother some...>

<I was surprised by how different he is compared to her.>

<Hehe...>

<What?>

<He was just putting on a face for you. He's actually this arrogant and rude little brat!>

<I see.>

(You were doing the exact same things as him.)

(But I guess neither of them could've done anything about that...)

<Also, Yuki, do animals not like you or something? That dog we ran into seemed really scared of you for some reason.>

<Yeah, it was...>

<I don't know. I've had dogs bark at me before, while cats and birds don't come near me.>

<Yeah, I think we have our answer...>

<That dog's reaction reminded me of Otori.>

<Otori? Who's that again?>

<She goes to the same school as Yuki, but one year younger. They were partners for the three-legged race during their Sports Festival, remember?>

<Yes, her. She sings and skips through the courtyard often, and has even jumped off the second floor to the courtyard. She also greets people by saying, Wonderhoy!>

<Wait, and she's in high school?>

<She must have so much energy...>

(I've heard that Miya Girls has a lot of students working in show business, so it's a little weird to hear that someone like that goes there too.)

<Oh, speaking of being scared, Enanan, do you and Li'l Bro not like dogs or something?>

<Huh?>

<When that dog tried to get closer to you two, you both tried to use me as a shield.>

<It's not like that at all... It's just, big breeds aren't really my thing...>

<Oh, but Akito pretty much dislikes all dogs regardless of size.>

<Oh, really?>

<When he was little, he got bit by one...>

<It happened when... Oh, Akito, our mom and I went to the park for a little picnic...>

<The owner of this one dog accidently let go of its leash, and it just came charging towards us...>

<I tripped and fell while running away from it. Mom came to help me, but that left Akito wide open, and he ran for it...>

<Oh, I'm guessing it chased after him then...>

<Exactly. It just nibbled on him a little, so it wasn't anything serious.>

<Wow. So that's how I ended up being a human shield for you guys?>

<Again, it wasn't like that. We were blocking their path, and I moved you out of the way.>

<Hehe...>

<Enanan's younger brother...

I'd like to meet him sometime.>

<You and your art have helped me out so much already, so...>

<K...>

<Sure! Just let me know when you're free and I'll see what I can do! You know, he didn't believe me when I said that I've been helping you too, Yuki?>

<You've helped me? When...?>

<What?! I'm always there to look out for you! Always!>

<Are you sure about always being there?>

<I mean, the way you're saying that is probably why Li'l Bro didn't believe you at all, you know?>

<Yuki, Amia, mind coming to SEKAI for a bit? It looks like we have a lot to talk about concerning this.>

<What? Why me?

K, Enanan's starting to scare me...>

<No, you're not getting away that easily! Honestly, you're always just...>
