Hmm, where do I want this? Maybe she'd really like it if it's in a spot with a lot of sun?

Awright, time to give it my all today!

Whuh?! Honoka!

Huh? Nozomi, what's up with that chair in your hands?

N-Nothing.

Oh really? Would you just walk around with a chair for nothing?

*Giggle* Someone's surprisingly perceptive. See, I'm thinking about where to put her chair.

I don't want to only pull out the chair when she comes to help–I wanted to give her a regular spot, you know?

Ohhh, I get it! I mean, she's coming all the way out here, so we've got to give her a good welcome.

Like, we could borrow a really nice chair from the chairwoman's office!

C'mon, you know we can't do that.

Ahaha. Thought so.

What we need now isn't a fancy chair, but one the same as ours, I think.

The same as our chairs?

Yeah. That way it won't be about who's on top or anything, since we'll be even, I think. And besides…

She's one of us, y'know? That's what I think.

You know, you're right!

How about you ask her where to put the chair?

Hey, that might be a good idea. I'll talk it over with her to decide this.

I'll wipe the chair down and get it clean, then. I mean, our school's chairs are pretty old.

*Giggle* Thanks, Honoka. How about we wipe everyone's chairs down together?

And when we finish getting the chairs ready, we'll have to get ready for the next thing.

The next thing? You mean practice?

*Giggle* No, not that. The hotpot, I mean.

Ohh, are we going to have a hotpot party?

Bullseye! I want us to all gather around the hotpot and have a nice chat.

Yeah, now you're talking! I do want her to talk to us more.

Wonder when we can do it? I'll talk it over with the rest, too!

Thanks, Honoka!

Nowadays, it just feels natural that she'll come over to the clubroom.

And I can't just appreciate her coming, either. I've gotta let her know I feel that way.
