Sonokos'/Renge's birthday 2020 - 4

A game of hide-and-hug - 4

[Sanshuu Middle - Art room]

Son: Found you, Tamako-senpai!

Tam: Well damn, you found me! *cough* You're really smart, aren'tcha? Good job!

Tam: And here Tama thought Tama could hide between the sculptures in the art room. My loss. C'mere, I'll give you a hug.

Son: Ehehe? That was easy. There was a shiisa between Brutus and Apollo.

Tam: Who are you calling a shiisa!? By the way, Tama's a miss. Go look for other Heroes1

[Dojo]

SON: Found you, Waka-chan.

Wak: Looks like I've been found. I remembered how you hid here before. Here you go, your box.

SON: Woohoo! I scored a hit!

Wak: Heh. You've got your troublesome sides, but you're a kind girl who cares for her friends. I'm proud to call you my descendant.

SON: Eh... Where did that come from? Come on, you're embarrassing me...

Wak: Sonoko, just being able to fight side by side and spend time together with you makes me feel that becoming a Hero was worth it...

SON: Eh? Eh? What!? *thump* No no, my heart did not skip a beat just now!

[Rooftop]

Ren: ...A suspicious table set up on the rooftop. Black tea and a letter.

Ren: "How regrettable. I am afraid to say that Miroku Yumiko is decidedly not here," it says.

Ren: Heh. You might be a Miroku, but you cannot fool me, the Mirokuest of all Mirokus!

Yum: I-I concede. A result expected of my ancestor. However, I was completely certain...

Yum: That the one with eyes sharp enough to uncover me would be no one else but a fellow Miroku!

Ren: Heh. True enough, nobody would believe that a Miroku would hide under a table.

Yum: Your compliments honour me. And now, dear ancestor, allow me to offer you a celebratory hug.

Ren: Very well, I will accept.

Ren: So, Yumiko. The box?

Yum: No, for you see... I am a miss.

[Home Ec room]

Son: I knew you'd be here, Wasshi!

Sum: Aw, you really did find me. *cough* Sonocchi...

Sum: You're kind and very strong, you're my precious best friend. I respect you as a leader, too!

Son: Eeh!?

Son: Eek! Wasshi's the one hugging me! Whatever turned that on?

Sum: Y-You're too startled by this! Also, it's "brought that on". I mean, I mean... Jeez! We agreed to do this, okay?

Son: Eh? What do you mean agreed?

Sum: You weren't told? If you find someone, they give you words of praise and then a tight hug.

Son: Eeeeeh!? There was a rule like that!?

[Library]

Anz: Sonoko-sensei, you're an evangelist of true romance, the guiding hand of glittering wind, and my eternal master!

SON: Ha-ha-ha, oh Anzun, you're sooo bold.

[Gymnasium]

Meb: Renge, your swordsmanship is straightforward and gallant, it resembles Wakaba's that I secretly hold as my goal... Guh.

Ren: Heh. Don't hold back, feel free to respect Miroku too.

[Courtyard]

Yuu: Sonoko-chan, you're so cute, kind and smart! There's so much to praise I can't decide!

Kar: You found two of us at once, are you some kind of genius? I-I'm only doing this because this is a rule, okay?

Son: Aah, the happiness of being between an honest person and a tsundere!

[Music room]

Its: Sonoko-san, you're the strongest ideas person in the Hero Club, with the incredible talent of being able to fall asleep anywhere and anytime!

Fuu: Nogi, you little scamp, always keeping me busy with those weird plans of yours! Take that!

SON: Hohaha, this contrasting sister sandwich of weird praise and no praise at all!
