[Marugame Castle classroom]

Tam: Morning! Aah, Wakaba beat me to it again!

Wak: Good morning, Tamako, Anzu.

Anz: It looks like Wakaba-san isn't the only one who beat you, Chikage-san is here too.

Tam: What!?

Wak: Oh right, Chikage. How long can I keep the game I borrowed from you?

Chi: Until your comple-... No... I don't mind you giving it back once you're satisfied and had enough of it...

Wak: Then I'll proceed little by little.

Chi: If you get stuck... ask me anytime.

Wak: Thank you. But I would like to complete it on my own as much as possible.

Chi: ...You'll make a great gamer...

Wak: Would you mind helping me gather drop items when you're free?

Chi: Let's do it now.

Wak: Sorry... I left my console in my room, I don't bring it to the classroom.

Chi: Then... we can't help it.

Tam: Aren't Wakaba and Chikage... pretty close lately?

Anz: Yes. From what we heard, maybe video games are the reason?

Tam: Hinata the Wakaba-meister! Do you know anything?

Hin: As is natural of me, who knows everything about Wakaba-chan, I understand the situation.

Hin: So the start of it all is as Anzu-san guessed, video games.

Hin: Wakaba-chan goes to Chikage-san's room in order to play video games, you'll often not find her in her own room.

Tam: Urk, how long has it been...!?

Tam: It's a good thing that they're getting along, so why do you look bitter?

Tam: It's kinda... kinda like my heart feels weird!

Tam: Alright, Tama's gonna get along with Chikage too! See ya later!

Anz: She really doesn't need to compete with Wakaba-san over this as well...

Hin: I believe Tamako-san simply wanted to get along with Chikage-san.

Tam: Chikageee!

Chi: ...What?

Tam: Let's become much closer!

Chi: ...Ha?

[Marugame Castle classroom]

Tam: Hey! Let's be friends!

Chi: ...

Tam: It's a problem for Tama if you stay quiet...

Chi: ...What is that about?

Tam: Just what I said. Tama wants to be friends with you.

Chi: Saying you want to be friends so suddenly... To be honest, I don't like it...

Tam: U~m, I guess that's fair.

Chi: ...So you understand?

Tam: But I'm not gonna give up that easily!

Chi: Eh?

Tam: Let's start by doing something together, to deepen our friendship. Try coming up with something!

Chi: ...

Chi: Haa... Why did this happen...

Tam: Chikage, it's P.E. next! Let's do our warm-ups together!

Chi: I'm good... I'll do them with Takashima-san.

Tam: Why not someone other than Yuuna for a change? Let's do it together!

Tak: If you want to do warm-up exercises with Tama-chan, I don't mind changing.

Chi: I'm okay with Takashima-san...

Tam: Why, Chikage!?

Tak: But it's a rare opportunity. Gun-chan.

Chi: I'd rather... do warm-ups with someone I'm used to...

Tak: Then let's take turns!

Tam: Nice, Yuuna, you get it!

Tak: Everyone should be friends!

Chi: ...I don't have a choice, huh.

Tam: Alright, let's move then!

Anz: If Chikage-san doesn't like it, progress looks difficult...

Wak: It could only go anywhere because Yuuna was there...

Hin: The only thing we can do is watch over them.

Tam: Chikage. Wanna play something after lunch?

Chi: ...Sorry but I have something to do. I finished eating, so I'll be going...

Tam: Ah, wait. Hey!

[Marugame Castle front]

Chi: (If I go back to the classroom now, Doi-san is going to follow me around...)

Chi: (Until it's almost time... I'll keep leveling in the RPG I bought recent-)

Tam: Hey, Chikage! Why not do something else since you're outside already?

Chi: Uh...

Chi: I only wanted to breathe some fresh air... I'm going back... And you don't need to follow me.

Tam: What's that~? Don't be shy!

[Classroom]

Chi: ...Haa.

Tak: Welcome back, Gun-chan. I knew Tama-chan was with you.

Tam: That's right!

Tak: You grew so close so quickly.

Chi: ...

Tam: Hey, Chikage. Tama's really into that music lately, wanna listen to it?

Chi: I'll keep playing... stop bothering me.

Tam: Come on, don't say that. You can listen to music and play at the same time, no?

Chi: ...Gulp, gulp. Phew...

Tam: You could've told me if you left to buy juice.

Chi: ...

Wak: Tamako... is still going.

Tak: They're having fun playing at chasing!

Hin: (Yuuna-san, has she not noticed their situation!?)

Anz: This has just become tag at this point...

Wak: What can be done...

Chi: ...

Tam: Hey, Chikage. I'm gonna do some mountain climbing, wanna-

Tam: Ah, hey, Chikage~!

Wak: Chikage, wait.

Tam: Wakaba, thank you!

Chi: ...What is it, Nogi-san? Are you on Doi-san's side?

Wak: No, I am not. Tamako.

Wak: Chikage doesn't like it, please stop doing this.

Tam: Eh... You don't? R-Really? Chikage.

Chi: Yes... Dead serious.

Tam: Shock!

Wak: She didn't notice...?

Wak: I do however understand your feelings, to make friends is a good thing.

Wak: But why not start by talking a little bit at a time every day?

Tam: Uuh... Yeah. ...Sorry, Chikage.

Chi: As long as you get it, it's fine...

Tam: I'm honestly sorry! I'll do it more normally tomorrow.

Chi: Please do...

Tam: See ya tomorrow then!

Chi: You saved me...

Wak: I thought your relationship would have gotten worse unless I did something.

Chi: For the first time in my life... I'm genuinely grateful to you.

Wak: Eh, first time?

Chi: I'm getting tired... I'll go back to my room and rest...

Hin: I would like to say incident solved, but rather, we avoided the worst.

Wak: I thought we were pretty close... but first time.

Hin: Wakaba-chan, you should get along better with Chikage-san as well.

Wak: Y-... Yes but... I'm not satisfied with this!!
