Location: Grounds

Hajime: P-Please stop, Nii-chan! Hakaze-senpai's telling the truth! He went out of his way to help me, actually!

Hajime: I was so embarrassed when I had to dress in women's clothing that I couldn't move a single step until he told me "you look cute"!

Hajime: "If you're having a hard time walking, feel free to hold on," he said. He was just so reliable and cool... !

Nazuna: .... right. You don't need to say another word, Hajime-chin. Nii-chan's gonna bury this pervert and his perverted hobbies deep beneath the sakura.

Mitsuru: Calm down, Nii-chan.... I don't really get what's goin' on, but I don't think you should assault Hakaze-senpai like that.

Mitsuru: 'cause Hajime-chan's telling you to cut it out.

Mitsuru: Hajime-chan just smiles and forgives me no matter what kinda stupid stuff I pull, so for him to ask you to stop this bad --

Mitsuru: Means you should. I can't really explain it all that well, but... it's just the right thing to do.

Nazuna: ..... hmm. Okay. Sorry. I guess it's too late to hear some more elaborate details on why I should be cuffing this guy.

Kaoru: Please don't cuff me... you can be real scary sometimes, Nazuna-kun. Well, if I were in your position I'd probably end up doing the same thing.

Kaoru: Besides, Hajime-kun's completely innocent. It's my fault he got caught up in this scandal... so I should be the one apologizing and taking the punishment.

Kaoru: I'm real sorry, Hajime-kun.

Hajime: Uhm, no, I'm the one who should be asking for forgiveness! I'm really, truly sorry. How could I let this happen... ?

Hajime: I will say this, though. Senpai and I aren't particularly seeing each other or anything, and this photo isn't the two of us out on a date, it's ---

Mitsuru: .... wait, I'm stuck on somethin'.

Hajime: Huh? Eh? What do you mean, Mitsuru-kun? Is something bothering you... ?

Mitsuru: Nnnhh.... wait just a second. It's a little hazy and I don't even get why. I'm an idiot, so I can't really explain it all that well.

Mitsuru: Tomo-chan, why am I so annoyed?

Tomoya: Eh? How should I know... ? It's not like I'm you.

Tomoya: Stop going straight for me whenever you don't get something. You said you're annoyed? Why're you so upset, Mitsuru?

Mitsuru: I'm upset.... ?

Tomoya: You're putting me on the spot again. I mean, that's how it looked to me. You just got really moody.

Tomoya: Maybe even a little scary... since no matter what happens you usually just laugh it off.

Tomoya: That's how you were even when the future looked black for us during the "A1" and the "S2" lives.

Tomoya: You had a look on your face that said you didn't get what was going on while Hajime and I were on the verge of tears.

Mitsuru: Ahahah. But I ended up crying in the end anyway 'cause you guys were.

Mitsuru: Before I entered Yumenosaki Academy I just went along with whatever.

Mitsuru: I could settle anything by putting my all into what I liked and everyone around would praise me.

Mitsuru: It'll work out no matter what happens. Not that I think it will now, but.... huh? What was I talkin' about again?

Tomoya: Eh? Uh, weren't you just trying to figure out why you were so upset?

Hajime: Uhm. Are you maybe.... not happy with the fact that I'm hiding something?

Hajime: Even if it might cause even more trouble for others if I explain the rest?

Mitsuru: That's not it. Hajime-chan's never done anything wrong.

Mitsuru: .... ah, that's it. I don't like that this article's only talking about UNDEAD. It's kinda irritating!

Hajime: W-What do you mean.... ?

Mitsuru: Uu, don't ask me why! I'm no good when it comes to thinkin' about how I think! Think or don't think, I'm just me!

Mitsuru: This article, though. This "skyandal" thing has to do with us too, right? Am I right?

Mitsuru: But it's only talking about Hakaze-senpai in here... there isn't anything about Hajime-chan or Ra*bits!

Tomoya: Uh... that's a good thing, actually?

Tomoya: Having your name listed in an article on a scandal does way more harm than good. It's probably because Hajime's dressed up like a girl and no one can recognize him.

Mitsuru: Hmm~? But somethin' inside me's saying Ra*bits is a real huge deal!

Mitsuru: When the whole world doesn't think the same way as you do it's frustrating!

Mitsuru: That's all! Sorry. I guess that was kinda off-topic.

Mitsuru: But I thought it'd keep me up at night if things stayed hazy, so... let's talk about somethin' more important, you guys!

Nazuna: ......
