The Nogi household - 1

[Hero Club room]

Son: And then I thought "yeah, it's not 24 centimeters, it's 23".

Gin: Yeah, I have no idea what you mean...

SON: It's not about the meaning. Don't your instincts tell you it should be 23 centimeters and not 22?

Sum: I'm only getting more confused...

Wak: ...

Hin: What's wrong, Wakaba-chan? Does the 23 centimeter thing concern you that much?

Wak: No, I don't care about that at all.

Hin: Why do you have such a complicated look, then?

Wak: I'm worried about the Sonokos... Or rather, about my descendants in the Divine Era...

Hin: Worried? Heehee. What, more than you are about me?

Wak: Huh? I'm not particularly worried about you right now or anything.

Hin: Wakaba-chan. Have you ever heard the phrase "the greatest hate springs from the greatest love"?

Wak: W-Waah... I-I'm worried! You're on my mind, always and forever!

Hin: Of course, I knew that'd be the case. So, what was it about the Sonokos?

Wak: Remember when we played house with them? Ever since then... I couldn't help but be concerned with how my descendants are living.

Wak: Sonoko's family situation, how she was brought up as a child, and... Whether they're happy in the Divine Era or not...

Hin: It's strange to say that as someone the same age as her, but I think Sonoko-san grew up a good girl...

Wak: I can see that much. But it's hard to tell what's on her mind, and I feel like she might be hurting under the guise of always smiling...

Hin: Wakaba-chan, you can't do that... We'll have to return back to our time eventually...

Hin: She might be your descendant, but excess emotions... are only going to hurt you.

Wak: Hinata...

SON: Waka-chan!

Wak: Waah! W-What? Sonoko... When did you get so close...

SON: Do you want to come hang out at my house this weekend?

Wak: Eh? Would it really be fine to do that?

SON: We'll do it in secret, though I feel a little bad about it, since there are definitely others that want to check on their families too.

Wak: But... With that in mind, it feels wrong for me alone to go and see for myself...

Hin: She's inviting you, so why not take her up on that offer?

SON: Hina-tan, you should come too.

Hin: Eh? Is that okay? I'm an outsider, after all...

SON: Hina-chan and Waka-chan, you're inseparable lovebirds. You basically come in a set.

Wak: A set...

Hin: Thank you very much! Wakaba-chan, we should just obediently accept her invitation.

Wak: ...Okay, then we'll come over this weekend.

SON: Sure! I'll be waiting!
