Yamato: There are many things that I find scary.
	 Ghosts and being alone in an elevator, dead fish and dark rooms and
	 also...

Fubuki: Ko- Kobayashi-kun!!

Yamato: Yes?
Yamato: What is it Fubuki-chan.

Fubuki: <heart beats>
	 Uh... um,
	 Tomorrow I'm going to go buy the present that the class is giving Aoki-sensei to celebrate the birth of his child... Won't you come with me!?

~~~~
Yamato: Tomorrow?  Yeah, ok.
	 Yea.

Fubuki: <hooray>
	 Really?
	 I, Fubuki, am glad.

Classmates: Oh, the chairman's succeeded in inviting Kobayashi-kun on a first date!
	 .........a date? ......or rather-
Classmates: looking at it from here, it's like...
	 Yeah, the older sister and her younger brother.

Narration: (laugh)

Fubuki: <laugh>
	 Then tomorrow at 1 o'clock at the entrance to the Maruharu department store, ok.

Yamato: Uh...
Yamato: The department store......?

Fubuki: Yeah, ...is there something wrong?

Yamato: Um, nuh-uh!

Classmate: ...huh?  Does Kobayashi-kun actually have siblings?

Fubuki: What should we buy--

Yamato: Yeah--

Classmate: ?  Got me...?  Now that you mention it...

Fubuki: My goodness, how rude.

Yamato: I'm fine with it.
	 <laugh> Don't worry about it.  Don't worry.

Fubuki: --hmm.  For the gift, let's get this!

Yamato: <clap, clap, clap>
	 <excited scream>

Fubuki: Alright!  If we get a congratulatory card with the leftover funds, together they'll be perfect!  We have time so let's go have tea Kobayashi-kun.

Yamato: Yea.

Narration: <- It's a date, but she's organizing things.  (laugh)

Fubuki: I'll go have them wrap it.  Wait there!

Yamato: Ok.
Yamato thinks: Fubuki-chan's reliable isn't she--
	 <sigh>
