I still can't get over how strange that place was.

(I only saw them for a second...)

(But they must've been watching over other people and their feelings from different SEKAI...)

Still...

That place was so pretty.

And those things wafting in the breeze... Those had to be cherry blossom petals...

*Sigh*

If only we could have a picnic under a tree like that.

Oh, that reminds me...

She's probably waiting for the right time for us to have our picnic, but I feel like she's doing all the work at this point. Maybe I should go ask her about it...

Ah, Len. We were just heading over to MEIKO's place. Would you like to...?

Perfect timing!

KAITO, I need to borrow you for a second!

Huh?

<Alright, see An anywhere?>

<Hmm... It's too dark...

Also, it sounds like a lot of other people are here...>

An, can you take my order?

Take mine after you're done over there!

You got it! I'll be right there!

<Hmm... She seems busy.>

<Alright, we should probably give up for now and head back to MEIKO's place...>

<No, off to our next stop!>

<What?!>

Thanks for today.

Yeah, likewise!

See you tomorrow.

Right. See you tomorrow.

Alright, I have some time left until the event, so I can get in some practice on my own before...

Hm? Did something flash just now...?

<Akito, you there? Hey, it's me!>

<I'm here as well for some reason...>

Len? KAITO?

<Phew. Thanks for letting us out, Akito!>

No problem, but what are you two doing here?

<Oh, I'm a third party here since I didn't come here of my own accord.>

<What?! That's not true, KAITO!

You even said, “Oh, a picnic sounds great!”>

Picnic?

<Yeah! Remember how An mentioned that the cherry blossoms by the park where you guys usually practice are in bloom right now and that we should have a picnic there when it's not too crowded?>

<I was hoping to ask about what day would be best!>

<Oh, is that what this is about? Yes, I'd like to know as well!>

Yeah, they are in bloom right now, so now might be the best time to have a picnic...

<See?! I was gonna tell An that but she seemed really busy when we went over to the cafe...>

<So, Akito, can you take us to this park instead? I wanna see what it's like beforehand!>

Sure. I was just about to head over to practice on my own.

<Awesome! Thank you so much!>

Alright, we're here.

<Oh wow! Cherry blossoms!

Look, Len, real cherry blossom trees!>

<I can see for myself.

Also, keep it down. We can't let anyone know that we're here.>

<Haha. Sorry about that.

I got a little too excited about seeing them is all.>

Who exactly is the younger one here?

Anyway, Len, what do you think?

<Yeah, they're gorgeous.

But some branches are still covered in buds.>

Probably because they're in the shadow of these buildings. It might be a while until they bloom.

<Hmm...>

<Don't you think we should find some trees in full bloom if we're gonna have a picnic under them?>

Yeah, I get how you feel...

Wanna try looking somewhere else?

<Really?! Wait, what about practice...?>

I still have time, so we can look for a bit longer.

<You're the best, Akito!

You're coming too, right, KAITO?>

<Of course! I can't wait to see more cherry blossoms along with more of where you and the others live, Akito!>

<Yay! Alright, off to our next stop!>
