Tomori Takamatsu and Soyo Nagasaki

Ah, Tomori-chan. You're here early. Have you been waiting?

...

Oh, she can't hear me at all.

...

...

Huh...? S-Soyo-chan...?

I've been here for a little while. And I did try to call you.

Ugh... I'm sorry...

It's fine, I don't really mind. Were you writing lyrics?

Y-Yeah...

Hmm... What kind of lyrics?

Umm... I was writing... about everyone...

I see. Is it going well?

I-I'm not sure... It might take a little longer...

I see... Good luck.

Y-Yeah...

...

So... Does that also include me...

Huh...?

No... it's nothing.

Sorry for interrupting. You can continue your work.

Y-Yeah...

...

...

(Anon-chan and others are so late...)

I'll go buy some drinks. Tomori-chan, do you want...

...

She's asleep...

...

(She has bags under her eyes... She must have been working on those lyrics nonstop.)

(Her notebook's about to fall. If I put it back, will she wake up?)

(I wonder what she wrote about me...)

Zzz...

But I can't just read it without asking...

I'll also...

Work... Work harder...

Good work...

...

Ahh... I missed the timing to buy a drink.

The girl over there is...

...

(She's picking up stones again.)

Beautiful...

(May be I should talk to her. It'd be a problem if she's late for practice.)

What did you find?

Ah, Soyo-chan...!

Um... I just found this.

Huh. It's round...?

Yes...! And it's very smooth...!

Is that so...?

And this one's completely black... It's about the same size, but this one's a bit heavier...

I see. Even in the middle of the city, there are different kinds of stones.

Yes...! They all look the same, but every single one is different...

Hmm... Oh, Tomori-chan, there's another one here. Looks like a nice stone... maybe?

Amazing...!

Huh?

Its shape is really beautiful... And it's much smoother than this one...!

Oh... That's good.

Can I have this...? I-I'll cherish it...!

(I don't think it's anything that special, though. Well, whatever.)

Well then, I'm going first.

Y-Yeah...!

...

*Sigh*...

Ah... It's almost time for practice...

Huh...?

Ah, it's over? I was just thinking I should call out to you.

Soyo-chan... You were waiting for me...?

No. I just happened to have time. Well, let's go.

Y-Yeah...?

Tomori-chan, over here.

Y-Yeah...!

*Sigh*... It suddenly started pouring down like this. Let's take cover under this Café's awning for a while.

Yeah.

Tomori-chan, do you have a handkerchief? You can use mine if you don't mind.

Thank you...

If we weren't this soaked, we could have gone inside the Café...

But we might be in the way if we just stand here, so maybe I'll just buy some drinks.

Tomori-chan, is there anything you want to drink?

Umm...

If you don't have a preference, I'll just grab something. Is that okay with you?

Yeah... Thank you.

Well then, please wait a moment.

(What would Tomori-chan like? If I recall correctly, the drink she likes is...)

Sorry to keep you waiting, Tomori-chan. Is caffè mocha okay?

Ah... yeah. Thank you. It's warm...

I thought a warm drink might be better. I'm glad they had caffè mocha.

...?

Ah, um... Soyo-chan, what did you choose?

Mine is hot black tea. Because my body's gotten cold.

Soyo-chan, you do like black tea.

Yeah, I often drink it at cafés, but I like taking my time with it at home the best.

Tomori-chan, why do you like caffè mocha?

Why...?

Because it's sweet, or because you like chocolate? No particular reason?

Um, I don't usually buy it...

...? Oh, really?

Yeah...

Oh...? Tomori-chan... You don't actually like caffè mocha?

Ah... No.

Oh, I see... Sorry, I think I got that wrong.

But wait... Back when we met as CRYCHIC, didn't you order a caffè mocha?

Um... I wasn't sure what I should order. I'd seen you order it before, so... I'm sorry.

Oh, I see...

Soyo-chan...?

No. I just realized I was acting like I understood you.

Well, Tomori-chan, what kind of drinks do you like?

...

I can't think of one...

I see...

Umm...

Well, maybe you could try ordering all kinds of drinks and find your favorite from now on.

Y-Yeah...!
