Ayumu Ep. 18: I Can't Stop Worrying About You
After you've declined several of Ayumu's invitations to go shopping, she worries that you're more into something else now. She asks the other club members for advice.
Ayumu
Hmmmm.
Karin
You keep making that sound. Are you worried about something? Want to talk about it?
Ayumu
I'm not exactly worried, but…
Karin
If you're not worried, then what is it?
Kasumi
I think I know. Is it because of the five-hour karaoke marathon we went to together yesterday? I'm kinda tired from that, too.
Ai
Is that why your voice is so hoarse now, Kasukasu? Neigh, say it isn't so!
Kasumi
Ugh, it is not! I could sing forever without my sweet voice getting hoarse! And stop calling me Kasukasu! I'm Kasumin!
Rina
Karaoke was fun.
Kasumi
It was! Five hours didn't feel like enough time.
Shizuku
You hogged the mic, Kasumi! I wanted to sing more.
Kasumi
Aw, don't be mad, Shizuko. Let's go again sometime!
Karin
Yeah, yeah. We can make those plans later. But right now, we're asking Ayumu what's wrong.
Ayumu
Oh, it's nothing, really. It's just… Well…
Shizuku
Ayumu, you can tell us anything. We worry about you when you seem down.
Rina
Yeah. You didn't sing very much at karaoke. Maybe it's because Kasumi was hogging the mic, but it might be something else.
Kasumi
D-Didn't we move past that yet? Uh…
Kasumi
Ayumu, please tell us what's wrong.
Ayumu
It really isn't a big deal. I was just thinking that Prez has been acting strangely lately.
Ai
Strangely? Like how?
Ayumu
Well… She seems really busy on the weekends, and says no if I ask to hang out.
Karin
That just reminded me. When I asked what she did last weekend, she dodged my question by saying, “Oh, this and that.”
Rina
That's suspicious. Rina-chan Board says, “Hmm.”
Kasumi
Some secret goings-on…
Kasumi
Oh no! Do you think Prez is turning into a delinquent?
Ai
Ooh, I kind of want to see that…but Prez wouldn't do that!
Kasumi
That's true. Our Prez would never go out making trouble like that.
Shizuku
Oh yeah, I did see her a few Saturdays ago.
Ai
What?! Tell us more!
Shizuku
I was going to see a play, but I saw her headed for the park.
Kasumi
Did you talk to her?
Shizuku
No. The play was about to start and I was with a friend, so I didn't say anything.
Rina
That's even more suspicious… Rina-chan Board says, “Hrrmm.”
Karin
We shouldn't make presumptions, though. You should ask her yourself if it's on your mind, Ayumu.
Ai
Want me to ask her for you?
Ayumu
Thank you, Karin and Ai. But I'll ask her myself. I don't want it to keep bothering me.
