Excuse me…

Come on in and take a seat. Let me get it.

Here we are. This is the comic you wanted. I have all the volumes.

Whoa! Can I really read these?

Of course! That's why I had you come here today. I'll go get some drinks, so just read until I get back.

Thank you so much!

Make yourself at home!

[Fade in/out.]

Aw, that's so tough… No, not that! Yeah, that should be okay… You're in a dangerous situation again!

(Hee hee. Setsuna can be a little more childish than I expected. It's like she has no filter when she reads.)

*Sigh* So cool. I'd trust him forever if he did that for me.

Oh, wait!

Whoa, you scared me. What are you shouting for?

Sorry! Did I say that out loud?

Yeah, you've been talking out loud the whole time.

The whole time? Oh, I'm sorry. I always read comics in secret, so I guess I have a habit of talking to myself.

It made me think you were having a lot of fun reading it.

Wait, you were watching?! You could have said something!

Ahaha! Sorry about that. I realized where you were in the story from your reaction. I remember thinking the same thing, so I couldn't help myself. What did you shout about?

Like in this scene, all the characters unite and strengthen their bond, like they're friends forever! Even if they're separated they'll find each other.

Yeah.

But this person uses a fake name in this world, so if they get separated there's no way to find them… They shouldn't use a fake name, ugh…

Yeah, I agree. Actually, now that we're on the subject, there's something I wanted to ask. Why do you change your name to be a school idol?

Hmm… I told you comics and anime are banned in my house, right? Well, so is being a school idol.

But I knew I'd be a school idol once I got into high school, so I thought if I went in costume and changed my name that I could get it by my parents.

You really love school idols, huh. I'll help as much as I can, so if there's anything you need, just ask me.

Thank you!

By the way, is there any particular reason you chose the name Setsuna Yuki?

Yeah, it's from a light novel I love! I feel like I gain a lot of power from using my favorite character's name.

Ahahaha! So that's it! Is it the one they turned into an anime recently? The one with the boy named Yuki and the girl named Setsuna?

That's the one! It's hard to record it under my parents' noses, so I only get to see it once in a while.

Hey, why don't I record it for you? Then you can watch it at my place.

You'd do that?! Are you sure?! I'm so happy! Thank you!
