At a Reasonable Distance ch2: Beginning

p1
>My friend Takano Saki apparently likes girls.
>On the one hand, I don't really care about that, but...

>Takano~! You got a minute?
>Hmm?

>You said you like that ○ idol, right? I've got a ticket for the Fest they'll be at. Wanna go together?
>Eh? Really!?

p2
>I'm so glad! I wanna go! When is it?
>Next Saturday! Are you free?
>Ah. Next week...

>I've got plans with Chika-chan next week...

>Eh~ Chika? Hey, Chika, you can cancel your plans, right!?
>You two are always together anyway.
>Huuuh!?

p3
>Saki's no good~ She's got important plans with me~
>Chika-cha...?

>Give it up, Morimoto! Ask someone else!
>There you have it.
>Gh...
>How cruel...

>...Oh, right, Saki-san. Can we talk about that matter for a bit?

>Eh? Sure...

p4
>I know I'm probably meddling, but you should probably stop being weirdly considerate.
>?
>Weirdly considerate?

>I'm talking about Morimoto! He was using ○ as an excuse to ask you on a date, Saki!
>A date!?

>No, no. That can't be. That was just a kind gesture...
>No, no, no, no. He clearly has an ulterior motive in going out with you...
>Eh~...?

p5
>If you liked Morimoto, I wouldn't mind...
>He's a good guy...

>But
>that's not the case, is it?
>Yeah...

>That's why it'd be better for the both of you to turn him down properly, right?
>Hmm... But I still think it was a kind gesture... I'd feel bad...

>...Look here...

p6
>You're way cuter than you think you are, Saki.
>Be aware of that.

>...

p7
>Just a little warning just in case.
>Don't go attracting any weirdos, okay?
>Alright, I'm heading back first!

>...

>...You too, Chika-chan...
