[Opening: Review meeting]
[Summary: At the bands after practice review meeting Misaki is looking a little depressed......]

[Family restaurant]

Kaoru: Terribly sorry for taking so long, you must all be thirsty? Don't be shy, take my love filled beverage
Hagumi: Yay-! Thanks Kaoru-kun!
Kanon: Since Kaoru-san is back should get started with our review meeting?
Kokoro: Sure, let's do that! You're ready as well aren't you Misaki?
Misaki: Ah...... Today's practice review meeting. Yeah sure, let's start
Hagumi: OK then, can I do my review first? Like I was dying of hunger during practice. I should have eaten a more proper lunch.....
Kaoru: Oh dear, my poor little Hagumi...... That must have been tough for you musn't it? Are you alright?
Hagumi: Yeah, I'm fine now! But since I just ate dinner and dessert it's now the opposite, I'm so stuffed that my stomach kinda hurts!
Kaoru: Y-you're in agony this time!? I think you should lie down immediately! Come on don't be shy!
Kanon: Kaoru-san...... Lying down inside a restaurant is a bit too much.....
Kaoru: But I can't neglect Hagumi like that
Hagumi: Thanks a bunch Kaoru-kun! I'll tough it out so don't worry about me!
Kaoru: Ahh, You're a little trooper aren't you Hagumi. So fleeting.....
Kokoro: OK me next! I ate a proper lunch! And if I recall, the lunch menu was--
Kanon: Wait, can we stop a second. This is starting to become a lunch report meeting isn't it? You know that's not what we're here for, we're having a practice review meeting, right?
Kaoru: What's gotten into you Kanon? Eating lunch is incredibly important is it not?
Kanon: Yeah, well it is but..... How can I dumb it down even further for her? Help me out here, Misaki-chan......
Misaki: ....Ah, sorry. My mind was somewhere else...... So what were we talking about again?
Kokoro: We're all reporting in on what we had for lunch!
Misaki: Lunch report? We should be having a practice review meeting, right......? What's going on here Kanon-san?
Kanon: Well, that's the thing.....
Misaki:[Phone ringing] !
Misaki: ............
Kanon: Huh? Misaki-chan? You have a phone call?
Misaki: It's alright. It's just a call from home..... I think they'll hang up in a sec so, let's just talk over it
Kanon: Yeah, but......
Hagumi: Hey, Mi-kun? Your phone's been ringing for ages now. don't you think you should answer it?
Misaki: Yeah........ I got it. Sorry about this, keep talking without me
Misaki: Hello? ......Yeah. Like I said I'm with the girls right now......What are you deaf!? I told you I was at practice
Everyone: .......
Hagumi: Hey...... Don't you think Mi-kun was acting kinda weird?
Kanon: That's been bothering me as well. It's like she's been a bit bummed out since the start of practice......
Kaoru: Ah! She just might have been mesmerised by my beauty
Misaki: --Can you just shut up already!
Everyone: !?
Hagumi: What the matter, Mi-kun?
Misaki: Ha, haha...... Sorry about that...... I just did something kinda embarrassing......
Kanon: You said that was a phone call from your home didn't you? Did something happen?
Misaki: Ah...... Actually...... I got into a bit of a fight with my parents this morning.....
Hagumi: What? A fight? So you get into fights with your parents as well Mi-kun
Misaki: It's a bit embarrassing now that I'm a highschooler but yeah, kinda......
Hagumi: It's nothing to be ashamed of? I got into a fight with my pops about softball plays
Hagumi: My pops kept repeating stuff like "How'd you like that play?" over and over again, so I snapped back at him
Kokoro: That's amazing Misaki! So you got into a fight! I haven't even gotten into a single fight before!
Misaki: Really..... Not even once..... That's so unbelievable that I actually believe you
Kanon: I used to have fight every once in a while..... But not so much nowadays
Hagumi: But what started the fight Mi-kun? What the reason?
Misaki: It's nothing worth talking about but.....You see, a little while ago I was re-arranging the bookshelf I have in my room and----
Misaki: ---That's more or less it, I guess?
Kanon: I see. So a book that you still need got thrown away by mistake?
Misaki: Well, I didn't exactly tell my parents which books I still needed so I guess I share some of the blame......
Misaki: And we got into this fight when I noticed it was missing *sigh~*, so awkward....
Kaoru: Aah, You poor thing, that's quite the a tragedy. it's the very definition of a tragedy
Misaki: Eh, it's not like it's the end of the world or anything but that book held a lot of sentimental value so it was huge shock
Kaoru: That reminded me of a role I once played about a prince who lost everything he had due to a simple misunderstanding
Kaoru: Looking back on it my acting was authentic and magnificent. The audience showered me with a round of applause....
Kaoru: In other words.... It's just like that
Misaki: Eh, Just like what? You just ended up bragging about yourself.....
Kaoru: Fufu, So shall reflect back on myself?
Kaoru: My reflection today, was absolutely fleeting and beautiful as always. and---

[Chapter 1: Dejavu]
[Summary: Kaoru approaches Misaki who is depressed after getting into a fight with her parents......]

[After the review meeting]
[Station entrance]

Misaki: Sorry about today...... I was kind of a buzz killer wasn't I
Kanon: No, That's not true, more importantly are you really alright Misaki-chan?
Hagumi: Cheer up Mi-kun! You can stay over at my place if it's too awkward to go back home? I'll treat you to a bunch of  tasty spirit raising croquettes!
Kokoro: Yeah, let's do that! And of course I'll be staying over as well! You'll soon start smiling if you're with us!
Misaki: Ah. It's fine, really
Misaki: (Everyone is worried about me...... I really hate this kind of stuff......)
Kaoru: Aah, Misaki.....
Kaoru: I wish I could have shown you how I acted on that day.......Because you're never going to see such a magnificent performance like that ever again. Most of all the amount of despair in the prince's heart--
Misaki: Haha......Hahaha...... You're still going on about that......

[One hour later]
[Park]

Misaki: *Sigh~*. I was putting on a brave face for everyone but it still feels too awkward to go back home
Misaki: If I knew this was going to happen, I probably should have gone to Hagumi's place....
Misaki: *Sigh~*
Kaoru: Fufu, what's with all the sighing, my little kitten
Misaki: Eh, Kaoru-san!? Forget about that, what are you doing here? Didn't you already head off home?
Kaoru: While I pensively pacing the streets I heard a little kitten's fleeting sigh, that's why I'm here
Misaki: Did you now
Misaki: Didn't the same thing happened here before? That's some real dejavu
Kaoru: I have no recollection of that
Misaki: Haha. I totally knew you would say that
Kaoru: Oh yeah, that's right. I have a question I've been wanting to ask you, will you hear me out? It's been on my mind for ages now
Misaki: Sure, I don't mind but just a warning, I don't know anything about acting
Kaoru: It's not about acting, Actually---
Kaoru: I've been wondering if I should rearrange my bedroom...... So what do you think?
Misaki: Huh? Rearrange your bedroom? That's quite the curve-ball
Kaoru: Don't get the wrong idea though, it's not that I don't like how it is now, I just think it might be refreshing
Kaoru: Whether or not to re-position my bed...... That's the real problem......
Misaki: Ahh, So that's what it was?
Kaoru: Could you please tell me what you think Misaki?
Misaki: Hnn~ I don't know what your room is like but...... Why don't you just do whatever you want?
Kaoru: Do whatever I want? I see, that is pretty...... Deep isn't it
Misaki: No...... That isn't deep at all...... Fufu
Kaoru: Aah, I got to see you smile so it's about time I headed back home
Misaki: Ah, About that...... Kaoru-san
Kaoru: What is it?
Misaki: If it's alright with you...... Can I stay at your house for a bit?
Kaoru: At my house?
Misaki: You know, like to see how your room is laid out? I kinda want to see how it is......
Kaoru: I see, of course I would be delighted
Kaoru: But there's nothing much to see. If you're still OK with that then I don't mind--
Kaoru: -- Oh no! Sorry Misaki. I overlooked something incredibly important!
Misaki: Ah, I totally get it if you don't want to, I wasn't seriously mentioning it
Kaoru: No that's not it, I seem to have caused a huge misunderstanding without uttering a single word
Kaoru: I still have some pictures of that time I played a prince who lost everything and I got showered with applause. So why don't we give them a look!?
Misaki: (Seriously!? So many curve-balls get thrown at me when I'm talking with Kaoru-san)
Misaki: Yeah, sure..... I'm really looking forward to it

[Chapter 2: Kaoru's room]
[Misaki arrives at Kaoru's room while there she is contacted by the other members...]

[Seta residence: Kaoru's room]

Kaoru: So, this is my room
Misaki: Wow. It's a really pretty room. You've got some houseplants and stuff and it's really mature looking
Kaoru: I'm glad you like it. Make yourself at home
Misaki: Just from a glance I don't see any need for you to re-arrange it? I like the kind of vibe it has.....
Kaoru: I see. If you think so then I'll have to give it a bit more consideration
Kaoru: The books are on that bookshelf over there, the TV remote is on the table and if you want to sleep you can use the sofa or the bed, I don't mind which so feel free to use whatever you like
Misaki: Ah, yeah. I'm fine either way
Misaki: Hmm, so the bookshelf...... There's Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Descartes..... That's quite a selection
Misaki: And over here there are, classical literature and historical novels.... There's a huge variety. Eh? She even reads stuff like trivia books
Kaoru: My recommendation has to be Shakespeare. His words have enough power to touch people throughout the ages
Misaki: Haha, There's no way I'd be able to finish a Shakespeare book in a day......
Kaoru: I don't mind you staying over for as many days as it takes. I'd be glad to have someone to talk to
Misaki: Hnn? You have some photos in front of your desk?
Kaoru: Aah, This is a record of my journey until now, they're mostly photos of my stage plays. And that prince role I was talking about earlier is...... Found it. Here it is
Kaoru: And this is the scene where the prince is brought to his knees after fallen into the depth of despair
Kaoru: I could hear the audience sobbing during this scene...... ......So what do you think?
Misaki: Eh? You can't just put me on the spot like that......
Misaki: Ah, there are photos of Hello Happy as well!
Kaoru: Yeah. Because all the work I've done with Hello Happy is an indispensable part of my journey
Misaki: This is a......Photo of our first live? And this Happy happy island right? Ah, This one is from...... The amusement park parade isn't it?
Kaoru: I remember it like it yesterday. During the parade the audience's eyes sparkled at my every move
Kaoru: Whether I'm acting in a tragedy or a comedy I can capture the audiences heart. That's is Seta Kaoru.
Misaki: Ah, sure whatever you say
Kaoru: That parade photo may be my favorite but it's a shame you're not in it
Misaki: (Well, I'm clearly in the picture as Michelle though......)
Misaki: ......Hnn? And is this one from when you were in middle school?
Kaoru: Yeah, This is one from when I first stood up on stage. Looking back this might be the moment where I decided to take the first step on my journey. If you were to put it in words it would be my "Starting point"
Misaki: A starting point......? If I had one like that I probably wouldn't have fought with my parents.....
Misaki: ...... Sorry! I just started dissing myself. Just pretend you didn't hear that
Kaoru: So do you want anything to drink Misaki? I'll bring something to warm you up. Will you be alright by yourself for a moment?
Misaki: Yeah, thanks....
Misaki: *Sigh~*
Misaki: It's like I'm taking advantage of Kaoru's kindness by not telling her the truth, I feel awful for doing this to her......
Misaki: I guess I should just go back home...... How many missed calls do I have now.....
Misaki: (Geh..... There's hundreds of them....)
Misaki: ......Ah. I got messages from Hagumi And Kanon-san......
Misaki: [Are you alright, Mi-kun?] [Misaki-chan, I was worried about you so I wanted to know if you made it back home alright]
Misaki: ............
Misaki: (Letting Kaoru look after me and worrying everyone else..... I really am the worst.....)
Misaki: I'm going to have to respond to these aren't I..... Hmm.....
Kaoru: Sorry to keep you waiting Misaki, I just brewed some coffee. This will warm you right up
Misaki: Hmm, Kaoru-san.....I don't want you to get mad at what I'm about to say but, can I say it?
Kaoru: Mad? Me?
Misaki: You see, I just got contacted by Hagumi and Kanon and when I told them I was staying over at your house, one thing lead to another and now everyone is coming over......
Kaoru: Phwoar, well isn't that great news. They'd be welcomed with open arms
Misaki: And before I knew it everyone was talking about having a sleepover at your house.....
Kaoru: This sounds like it will be...... A fleeting night
Misaki: Are you sure about that? You know Kokoro is coming as well, right?
Kaoru: I can't remember the last time I've had someone over for a sleepover, I'm sure my parent will be delighted to hear about it
Misaki: She's so generous
Misaki: I'm going to have to phone home If we're doing this aren't I......
Misaki: Well then, I'm going to make a quick phone call.....

[Chapter 3: Sleepover fashion]
[Summary: The Hello Happy members are having a sleepover in Kaoru's bedroom, And what luggage did they each bring...]

[Seta residence: Kaoru's bedroom]

Hagumi: Kaoru-kun! Mi-kun! Sorry to keep you waiting~!
Kanon: Sorry for the intrusion......
Kokoro: So this is Kaoru's bedroom!? It's so amazing! I've always wanted to come here!
Hagumi: It's so cool isn't it~! Like super grown up
Kaoru: So is this all of your luggage? I'll place it over here for you
Kanon: Ah, sorry for making you carry my luggage. It's heavy isn't it......?
Kaoru: It's a princess's precious luggage so don't don't worry about how much it weighs
Misaki: Eh? But you brought a suitcase......? We ain't going abroad......
Kanon: I know right..... I said the same thing but......
Misaki: Ah. Wait, that was yours? Jesus Christ Kanon-san, how long do you plan on staying here for?
Kanon: When I told my parents I was staying over at Kaoru-san's place they kept telling me to bring this and that....
Misaki: Even so that's still a lot of stuff...... What the heck is even in it?
Kanon: I haven't looked inside either so I don't have a clue...... I'll check it out now
Kanon: Hmm, Pyjamas, a change of clothes......My toothbrush and towel, some shampoo...... Hmm and......
Misaki: That's just the tip of the iceberg. What the heck, there's even emergency rations
Hagumi: Ah! That reminds me, My pops handed these to me! It's some piping hot freshly fried croquettes~! He told me to share them with you girls
Kaoru: Aah, Hagumi! That act of kindness is heartwarming
Hagumi: And I also~ brought this with me. Tada~ check it out! It's a~ "Monkey plush!"
Hagumi: I can't get to sleep without it. I've fallen asleep cuddling with it ever since I was a little kid!
Kanon: Really~ I have something like that as well. What its name?
Hagumi: Huh? I just call it "Monkey"?
Kanon: Ah, You haven't given it one......
Hagumi: This little monkey has ripped open more time then I can remember but my mom always fixes it right back up
Misaki: .....*Sigh~*
Hagumi: Huh? What's the matter Mi-kun?
Misaki: No, it's nothing
Misaki: (Everyone gets along with their parents so well. I usually do too, except for today that is.....)
Kaoru: Oh yeah? That reminds me, I don't seem to remember Kokoro bringing any luggage......?
Kokoro: Yeah, that's cause I didn't bring any
Misaki: Eh? Turning up to a sleepover empty handed?
Kokoro: Is there something wrong with that?
[Ding dong]
Kaoru: Oh? Seems like someone else is here. ......Ah! It might even be Michelle!
Misaki: !? Now that you mention it, Michelle called me and said she couldn't make it! So it's probably someone else?
Kaoru: Did she now. That's a shame...... Anyway, I'll go check who it is
Hagumi: I see~ So Michelle isn't coming today~ I wanted to have a sleepover with her~
Misaki: She said she might come to the...... Next one
Hagumi: Ah! Before I forget, you're such a naughty girl Mi-kun~ You didn't tell us you were going to Kaoru-kun's house!
Misaki: Sorry about that. I didn't plan on coming here, it just happened....
Kanon: But you look a lot more happier than you were before, that's a relief
Misaki: I'm not sure if it's happy, more like I feel distracted by talking with Kaoru-san
Kokoro: Were you now! I wonder what you talked about? If it's enough to make Misaki happy then I'm sure it's something really fun?
Hagumi: I want to hear about it as well!
Misaki: Hnn, We didn't really talk, it was mostly Kaoru-san bragging about herself.....
Hagumi: Eh? Kaoru-kun bragging about herself cheered you up? Why is that!? I don't get it
Misaki: I wonder about that? I don't know have a clue either.....
Kanon: Ah, Kaoru-san is back. Wonder if someone came to visit?
Kaoru: Hnn~~~......
Hagumi: What is it, Kaoru-kun?
Kaoru: It's a mystery. There wasn't anybody there when I opened the door. Just these bags instead
Kaoru: Do you happen to know...... Anything about these bags?
Misaki: Huh? Those bags have Kokoro's family crest on it
Kokoro: Now that you mention it, they do
Hagumi: Why don't you open them up Kokoro!
Kokoro: Alright then I will! Hmm, this is......Wow~! It's my pyjamas! I'm sure some friendly stranger came to drop them off for me!
Misaki: Now way, who else would do that other than the black suit girls.....
Kokoro: There's still something else at the bottom..... Wonder what it is?
Kaoru: Oh my? It's another pair..... Of pyjamas?
Misaki: Those are mine!!! Ehh!? They even brought my pyjamas!?
Misaki: Seriously, what on earth are those girls.....!?
Kokoro: Fufufu, Anyway, that means we're all prepped and ready to go! Alright then, let's all have some fun and games!!
Hagumi: Wa-i! I'm all in for that!
Kokoro: Alright then, I'm gonna do a back-flip! You too Misaki! OK here goes, Ei!!
Misaki: Quit it Kokoro! This is~Kaoru's home, stop being so annoying!

[Chapter 4: After supper]
[Summary: All the girls have eaten supper at Kaoru's home. Before they hit the sack they have some fun and games]

[After supper]
[Seta residence: Kaoru's bedroom]

Kokoro: The food at Kaoru's house was so tasty!
Kanon: Kaoru's mom is such a good cook isn't she. She laid the food out so nicely as well, it was wonderful
Kaoru: Fufu, that's because all of you girls are here. She made more elaborate food than usual
Hagumi: Ah~ I'm stuffed~. I overate again and have another stomach ache
Kaoru: You won't be a bother to anyone here so how about you have a lie down?
Hagumi: But my pops said that if you lay down right after eating you'll turn into a cow?
Kokoro: That's amazing! I want to turn into a cow! If I turn into a cow I'll let you all ride on my back!
Misaki: No way, that's just a fairy tale. You won't really become a cow
Kaoru: Fufu, Even if I did turn into a cow like a fairy tale, I would be such a beautiful cow that everyone would fawn over me and never be able to leave me alone. Aah, being that beautiful is such a sin
Misaki: Cows like that don't exist
Kanon: Fufufu...... The conversations are always a blast when Misaki-chan is happy
Misaki: !?
Kanon: That's a relief. We're back to our regular old Hello happy self. Hello Happy has to be like this doesn't it
Kaoru: Fufu, the night has only just begun. Why don't we have some fun?
Hagumi: Oh Yeah! I brought a pack of cards with me! Want to play!?
Kokoro: Sure! I've always wanted to play old maid! Come play with us Misaki!
Misaki: Well..... Sure, why not?
Kokoro: So, how do you even play old maid? Can you teach me, Misaki?
Misaki: Haha..... You could have at least learned the rules
Hagumi: Ah~ this is a photo of the smile amusement park's parade! I haven't seen this photo before!
Kaoru: That one was taken by one of my fans, it was attached to letter I received the other day
Kaoru: But that photo is too small to fully capture my beauty so I plan to blow it up to poster size
Misaki: You really do love yourself don't you Kaoru-san
Kaoru: That's where you're mistaken. I love all creatures great and small
Kokoro: Ah, and over here is a photo of Happy happy island!
Kanon: The scenery was breathtaking. I take a look back at that photo every once in a while
Hagumi: It didn't happen that long ago but it feels kinda nostalgic! The memories I made on Happy Happy island are a treasure to me!
Kaoru: And I'm grateful that we were all fated to born in the same era
Misaki: Fate is a bit of an exaggeration
Hagumi: You think? I don't think it is, so Mi-kun, what do you think about Hello Happy?
Misaki: Me.....? Well at first I was perplexed
Misaki: I've never composed a song before and on top of that the idea Kokoro had was too cryptic
Kokoro: But the songs you make for us are really wonderful! They make everyone smile!
Misaki: Haha......Thanks
Misaki: Actually..... The book that got thrown away was the one I bought back then, when I thought I should learn how to compose music
Hagumi: Eh!?
Misaki: I mean I can always buy a new copy of the same book, but that one was packed full of memories from back then, or something
Kanon: Was it.....
Misaki: Nonetheless, I think I went too far with what I said. I said some pretty awful things......
Misaki: Besides, if I had properly cleaned up then it would never have happened in the first place......
Misaki: Yeah, I definitely shouldn't have done that
Kokoro: But if it's such an important book why don't you just look for it?
Misaki: Eh? Look for it? No way, we don't know where it was taken do we? If you think about it rationally it's impossible isn't it?
Kokoro: Then just think of it as normal! Let's go look for it tomorrow
Misaki: ......That's a bit
Kaoru: Fufu, let's think about that tomorrow. Why don't we continue talking about Hello Happy? We still have loads to talk about don't we?
Kanon: Yeah! You're right. I want to chat some more as well
Kaoru: Have you seen this photo yet? This is a photo from back when Hello Happy held their first live
Kaoru: The part to pay close attention to is of course..... Me
Kaoru: The other parts are..... Me wiping off my sweat, Me tuning my guitar And me striding over a cable...... There's enough fleeting photo of me for everyone
Hagumi: Wow, you're cool in every one of them!
Kokoro: They really are wonderful! I want to see loads more photos of Kaoru!
Misaki: ............


[Chapter 5: A fleeting night ]
[Summary: Misaki is having trouble sleeping. And the speech Kaoru gives her is......]

[Seta residence: Kaoru's bedroom]

Misaki: (Wonder what time it is? Everyone is asleep so...... It must be pretty late.....)
Misaki: (*Sigh~*. I've had so many things on my mind today I can't get to sleep.....)
Misaki: (Maybe I'll swipe Hagumi's "Monkey" for a bit..... She did say it helps her get a good nights sleep.....)
Kaoru: Can't get to sleep?
Misaki: Huh? Kaoru-san, you're still awake?
Kaoru: Shakespeare said it himself didn't he? "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"
Misaki: "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown......" So what does that mean?
Kaoru: Fufu, everyone is free interpret it however they like
Kaoru: Oh yeah, There's one thing I haven't thanked you about yet
Misaki: Huh? Thank? Me?
Kaoru: The advice you gave me about rearranging my room, I decided to keep it the way it is
Misaki: Oh yeah, we did talk about that didn't we
Kaoru: Having someone to vent to is a blessing in disguise
Misaki: Nah, that's what I should be saying
Kaoru: I haven't done anything to deserve your thanks
Misaki: Haha, playing dumb again
Misaki: I was horrible to my parents today didn't wasn't I? I said some awful things and I didn't answer their calls
Misaki: When I started thinking about it all kinds of emotions got stirred up and I couldn't get to sleep...
Misaki: Fighting burns up a lot of calories doesn't it? I'm kinda beat.....
Kaoru: Have you heard about this story Misaki?
Misaki: Eh, Which one?
Kaoru: When a chick hatches from its egg it thinks the first thing it sees is its parent
Misaki: Ah, I've heard of that. I believe it's called "imprinting"? or something, it's pretty well known isn't it?
Kaoru: I happened to stumble across it when I was reading a book the other day
Kaoru: .....It's an intriguing tale, isn't it
Kaoru/Misaki: ..........
Misaki: ......Eh? That's the end of the story?
Kaoru: Yeah, The curtains have closed on that story
Misaki: So what's the punchline? ...... More like, wouldn't a normal person develop the story into something heartwarming?
Misaki: And on top of that, you picked a pretty heartwarming story to set the mood with, Kaoru-san
Kaoru: That wasn't what I was intending to do, however...... Do you perhaps need a heartwarming story?
Misaki: .......Huh?
Kaoru: If that's something you need right now then I plan to tell you as many heartwarming stories as you need
Misaki: Ha, haha...... That was like an amazing counter punch you just hit me with
Kaoru: I told you this a moment ago didn't I? "interpret it however you like"
Misaki: I see...... So it's up to me...... Is it?
Kaoru: Everything will work itself out if you keep your spirits up......
Kaoru: In other words.... It's just like that
Misaki: *Sigh*......
Misaki: Even I know what I'm suppose to do. I was really rude to my parents, that wasn't cool. So, I think I have to apologise......
Misaki: It's just, awkward though isn't it
Misaki: If you keep your spirits up.....? That might be pretty straightforward. Was that a Shakespeare quote?
Kaoru: No, those were......My own words
Misaki: Huh!? Your own words......? ......Pfft. Haha, hahaha.....
Misaki: That's amazing Kaoru-san. That totally sounds like a real famous saying. That saying is good enough to rival Shakespeare himself  ~
Misaki: *Sigh~* You always throw these amazing curve-balls at me but this one might have entered my strike zone~.....
Misaki: Yep, It feels like I've got my head screwed on right. Like my spirits have been raised
Misaki: Thanks a lot Kaoru-san
Kaoru: Like I said, I didn't do anything. I just talked about what I wanted to
Misaki: And I just said what I wanted to say
Kaoru: Aah, now that you mention it, I have another story, want to give it a listen?
Misaki: Sure OK, I'm all ears
Kaoru: The things we call tadpole's gills are actually---

[Ending: Starting point]
[Summary: Misaki calls up her parents. She's then informed of an important revelation...]

[The next morning]

[Seta residence: Kaoru's bedroom]

Misaki: Hello? Hmm, It's Misaki...... Yeah......Yeah. I'm at Kaoru-san's place right now......
Misaki: Hmm, I'm sorry about yesterday...... The book thing was my fault, so don't worry about it
Kokoro: I wonder who Misaki is making a phone call to?
Kanon: She said she's phoning home. I hope she can make up with them
Hagumi: It'll definitely be alright! Right? Kaoru-kun?
Kaoru: Fufu, If Misaki is in high spirits everything will work itself out
Misaki: Yeah...... Eh!? Really!? Oh come on! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing sooner!
Kanon: Eh? I wonder if Misaki-chan is.....Alright?
Misaki: ......Ah, sorry, it was because I never answered the phone. Yeah, I've got it! See you later! And..... Hmm, I'm really sorry about yesterday......
Hagumi: How did it go Mi-kun? Did you make up?
Misaki: Yeah. That's all sorted, but.....
Kanon: But.....?
Misaki: I might...... Know where to find my book!

[Library: warehouse]
