NARRATOR: "At five minutes past eight, an unbelievably loud banging jolts me awake. It's coming from outside my door. Quickly, I open the door to see Shizune and Misha standing side-by-side before me. Both of them look a little worn out, although it's more noticeable on Misha." | |||
HISAO: "Which one of you knocked?" | |||
NARRATOR: "I ask, echoing the question that must be on the mind of everyone in the entire building." | |||
MISHA: "Ahahaha, that's not important, Hicchan!" | |||
NARRATOR: "She quickly dismisses it without even batting an eye." | |||
MISHA: "Oh? You're still in your pajamas, Hicchan? So you don't wake up at eight?" | |||
NARRATOR: "I notice her hair is wet. Her curls are barely holding their shape." | |||
HISAO: "No, I thought I'd sleep a bit later since it's the weekend and all, and I've been seriously sleep-deprived this week." | |||
NARRATOR: "I wonder if she missed the poison in my words." | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "Then it's a good thing we came to wake you | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "Anyway, Hicchan, I guess you would like to know why we're here, wouldn't you?" | |||
NARRATOR: "It's not hard to guess, but I wish she wouldn't say the words she is going to say next." | |||
MISHA: "Would you like to skip class and go somewhere nice with us?" | |||
HISAO: "Come again?" | |||
MISHA: "Would you like to skip class to do something fun?" | |||
NARRATOR: "I was certain they'd force me to help them again with some slave work." | |||
HISAO: "Seriously?" | |||
NARRATOR: "Misha grins and nods enthusiastically. I like this new approach they're taking although I'm somewhat surprised that they would suggest skipping class, even if we have only half a day since it's Saturday." | |||
HISAO: "Aren't you two worried about constantly missing class?" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "Well, it doesn't seem to be a problem! Hicchan, this school is pretty much at a standstill whenever this time rolls around.It's a Saturday, too~. Don't you want to do something fun?" | |||
NARRATOR: "I'm amazed by how little they seem to care." | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "Not that we're pressuring you to give us your company, but we thought you might like to hang out!" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "So... would you like to join us? Come on, you'll have a lot more fun than just sitting here with your head on your desk~!" | |||
NARRATOR: "I guess I won't be missing anything important; nor will I be missed." | |||
HISAO: "All right, then, I don't think I'd be missing much. What do you have in mind?" | |||
NARRATOR: "My eyes narrow with suspicion as a thought crosses into my mind." | |||
HISAO: "Wait... this isn't just some trick to get me to do some more student council stuff, right?" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "No, of course not! And that's a really mean thing to just assume like that, Hicchan." | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "...And besides, you're in the Student Council now, remember? If we wanted you to do something for us, we wouldn't have to trick you~! Hahaha!" | |||
NARRATOR: "This is a kind of coercion that is new to me. Only two pretty girls could pull it off. I allow myself to relax a bit. Maybe I'm being too paranoid; it seems like they may really just want to hang out. Nevertheless..." | |||
HISAO: "No tricks?" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "No tricks! Stop being so paranoid!" | |||
HISAO: "Well, if you say so." | |||
NARRATOR: "Suddenly, I realize I still am wearing pajamas." | |||
HISAO: "I wonder if you'd let me dress up first?" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "Eh? Why, Hicchan? You look just fine!" | |||
HISAO: "I'd still prefer wearing something else." | |||
NARRATOR: "I close the door before she gets a chance to reply and quickly pull on my uniform. Stepping back into the hallway, I see Shizune and Misha are engaged in an animated discussion. I wonder if people discussing in sign ever accidentally poke each other in the eyes. While I'm contemplating this, Shizune taps me on the shoulder impatiently." | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "So, we're planning on slipping into town! Remember that tea shop we were at on Wednesday? Tea shop?" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||
MISHA: "You don't remember?" | |||
HISAO: "Oh, you mean that café." | |||
MISHA: "Tea shop! It's called the Shanghai. China is the birthplace of tea, you know. Come on, Hicchan! I'll even treat you today! Ah... not me, not me, I mean Shicchan! Ahaha~!" | |||
HISAO: "I don't know..." | |||
MISHA: "It's nice, it's really relaxing! It's like... half café, half restaurant, half sophisticated, half... library..." | |||
NARRATOR: "What?" | |||
HISAO: "That's a lot of halves." | |||
NARRATOR: "But Misha doesn't seem to notice that." | |||
MISHA: "So~! Come on, it's not often that we have this much free time!" | |||
SHIZUNE: "..." | |||

"I've never seen more weakly disguised reverse psychology in my life. I feel kind of tired today, and my teachers in my classes might want to know where I am. Maybe." | |||
"On the other hand, I haven't really been into town at all since I've gotten here, so this is a good reason to head there." | |||
"Also, I could use something to eat. If it's Shizune's treat, even better; I'm totally broke." | |||

"If she views every time that I talk with her as some kind of battle of wills, I don't think I could take it." | |||
"That kind of thing drives people insane. She's too Machiavellian; before this I'd assumed she was just kind of stoic." | |||

"Because I have no money on me, I would be humiliated, and therefore this could be considered a loss." | |||
"If I finish first, the laws of chivalry would make me look like a jerk, as I would need to run out of this teahouse, leaving her to pay for everything. That could also be considered a loss. She would use that." | |||
"In the event of a draw, she may attempt to run out the door, and I'll probably do the same. This might lead to a collision at the door, which would be humiliating, but not overly so. ...And Misha would be left to pick up the tab." | |||
