Humhumhuum♪

Walks always feel so nice.

Oh, there's some graffiti here!

Yes, it's very well-drawn.

Maybe I could try my hand at this in the future.

There's some space here...

But what would I draw... Huh?

Oh, the street turns here.

What if I go down it...? Hm? This place...

Oh, this street leads straight to MEIKO's cafe! I never knew that!

(Now, what should I do now?)

(Since the street led me right to MEIKO's place, maybe I should go say hi...)

Huh? Luka?

Hm?

Oh, MEIKO!

I wasn't expecting to bump into you here.

Me neither! Also, what were you doing?

You don't usually leave the cafe without a specific reason.

Rin forgot something and I was just on my way to take it to her. Miku's keeping an eye on the cafe for now.

Oh, is that really a good idea? If An and the others come by, won't she want to start cooking...?

Don't worry.

I made enough food in advance just in case.

Oh, very clever!

Also, An and the others probably won't be coming over to visit anytime soon.

Wait, why?!

They're probably going to be busy since they said they're spending basically the entire school break practicing with Ken.

Oh, they're practicing with him?!

What do you think that involves?

Based on what I heard the other day, they've been going around to high-level live houses in all these different areas in order to gain real experience.

Th-That sounds really tough...

But it also means they get to see a lot of new places, right? I sort of wish I could travel more.

Oh, MEIKO, what if I asked to see if I can tag along?! Do you think they'd let me?!

No, what are you saying?

You'd only get in their way.

They need to focus on what they're doing right now. It wouldn't be fair to go with them and treat it like a sightseeing trip.

Okay...

*Sigh*

Do you really understand?

I do understand!

I just thought it was worth floating that idea.

Okay, to be fair, I had my hopes...

Hey, don't give me that look.

I promise not to bother them. I'll stay right here...

Okay, as long as you understand.

So, I have another suggestion...

MEIKO, how does a walk sound right now?

Huh? A walk?

Yes! I'm sure you're tired from working at your cafe day in and day out!

I think you should move your body and get a breath of fresh air for a change!

But I'm usually pretty active anyway...

Still, that does sound nice.

Oh, wonderful!

Then, after I've returned this to Rin, we can head over to the back alley where Miku likes to sing.

Oh, that sounds lovely!

Then, let's go!

Okay, okay.
