*Huff* *Puff* Perfect weather for training, isn't it? Huh…?

Zzz…

K-Kanata?! What in the world are you thinking, lying down in a place like this?

*Yawn* Oh, hi Umi. I'm just taking a nap.

The weather is gorgeous today, right? I was looking for a place to rest and came across this bench. Between the breeze and the shade, it's a perfect nap spot.

Goodness gracious. I realize that's just like you, but wouldn't you rather get up and exercise when the weather's so nice?

Huh? Hey, it's Umi and Kanata.

You're right, zura! Hey there!

Yoshiko and Hanamaru! Hello to you as well. What are you two doing here? Is Aqours putting on a live show?

It's not Yoshiko, it's Yohane! Anyways, I received word that my favorite black magic shop stocked up on some new items, so I came from afar to see their wares.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Hanamaru, don't tell me you're here to buy magic items, too?

No, I'm here for books, zura. I figured the bookstores in Tokyo are so much bigger, they might have what I'm looking for. So I asked Yoshiko to take me with her, zura.

I thought we'd have to try a few stores, but I found exactly what I was looking for at the very first one! I love Tokyo. You can find anything you want here, zura!

That's great! So you two have just been shopping the whole time?

No, we actually finished shopping pretty quickly. We were at an internet cafe for a while, reading comics and surfing the web.

Internet cafe? That's where you've been all day?!

Yup. Zuramaru said she'd never been to one, so I showed her what she's been missing.

The “internet cafe” was fascinating. There were so many computers and lots of drinks to choose from. Tokyo really is the city of the future, zura.

Aren't there internet cafes in Numazu, too?

Wow, talk about your odd pairings. What are you all doing here together?

Eli!

We just happened to run into each other. My little demons always seem to find their way back to their master, even when we're separated.

I'm pretty sure that none of us here ever agreed to become little demons, zura.

Eli, why are you dressed like that? Did you go to school today?

Yeah. I've been stuck in the student council room all day. I haven't even had time to practice or anything lately, so I figured I'd take a little walk to get some exercise.

Oh, wow. You're really dedicated to be working on a day off, but at least you can relax now, zura.

Personally, I'd recommend a nice nap.

Yohane intends to return to the net cafe. Do you want to come with us, Eli? You need to get your mind off work!

Thanks a bunch. Let's see, I suppose I could…

Denied!

This… This is absolutely not okay!
