Masumi | … |
Citron | Oh. Do you have school now, Masumi? |
|
Masumi | Yeah. Where’s Director? |
Citron | She had some preparations for the concert, so she went out early in the morning. |
| It looks like the preparations are in their final stages! |
Masumi | …We missed each other again? |
Citron | There, there. Cheer up and have a great day! |
Guy | …Are you heading out right now, Usui? |
Masumi | Yeah. |
Citron | What’s the matter? |
Guy | No, just… it’s supposed to start raining soon. |
| Though, it will stop by evening. |
Citron | Really? But it doesn’t look like it’ll rain yet. |
Masumi | I’ll go now while I still can. |
| |
| —. |
Citron | Oh, it suddenly came down! |
| What’s more, it’s an encore![1] |
|
Masumi | …A downpour. |
Guy | …It seems it would be wiser to wait until the rain dies down. |
| |
Masumi | (…The rain finally let up a bit and I was able to leave.) |
| (Oh yeah, I haven’t looked at my phone yet today. |
| I’ll check Director’s inste.) |
| (? …The screen won’t turn on.) |
| …Just my luck. |
| (Come to think of it, I went straight to bed and forgot to charge it yesterday.) |
| … |
|
Sakoda | Huh, Usui-san—woah, look out! |
Masumi | ? |
| *splash* |
| —! |
Sakoda | Ahh, I didn’t make it in time! You alright!? |
Masumi | …I’m soaked. |
Sakoda | Ya really stomped hard in that puddle there. |
Masumi | … |
Sakoda | But hey, it doesn’t look like your pants got dirty! |
| Your shoes got wet, but—. |
Yakuza A | Sakoda~. What’re you doin’? |
Sakoda | Ah, my bad! I saw someone I knew! |
| Well, I’m on the job right now! |
| Take care, aight, Usui-san! |
Masumi | …*Sigh*. |
| |
| … |
| (Even at school, a huge stack of reports was assigned and I forgot my ID card…) |
| (I’ve really had the worst luck ever since morning.) |
| (At times like this, I want to see Director. Even if it’s just a glance. |
| I’ll send her a LIME…) |
| —. |
|
| (Right, my phone is out of batteries.) |
| …*Sigh*. |
| (Come to think of it, Citron told me she left early this morning to prepare for the concert.) |
| (Maybe, if I go over there…) |
| |
| … |
| (…Of course she’s not here.) |
|
Guy | …Usui? |
Cat | Meoow. |
Masumi | …Why are you here? |
Guy | I was shopping and passed nearby. |
| I came to take a look at the concert venue on the way. |
Masumi | Hmm… |
Cat | Meow. |
Masumi | This cat… |
Guy | Yes, this seems to be the cat that Mikage adores. |
| They weren’t that fond of people before, but it doesn’t appear that way now. |
| …There, there. |
Cat | *Purr, purr*. |
Guy | Why don’t you pet them as well, Usui? |
Masumi | … |
Cat | Meow~. |
Guy | It looks like the cat enjoys it too. |
| By the way, Usui. Why are you here? |
Masumi | … |
