"Everyone, please quiet down!"

The girlish chatter that was currently flooding Heming Way died down. A young girl with long brown hair tied in pigtails stood at the center of the group of women and girls. She began to address them with a confident voice:

"Good afternoon, female cast of Tsuritama, my name is Lyra and I'll be leading the discussion today. Everyone sit and Misaki-san will serve you tea."

The group complied and took their seats in the café chairs. Lyra smiled and spoke again:

"Our discussion will now begin. You can think of me as all of the fujioshi on the Internet speaking for you. Our topic is the lovely boys of the show. Now, who would like to start?"

Small murmurs erupted in the shop and Misaki, who runs the fishing shop, raised her hand and stood up.

"I will! Ayumi-chan always acts strangely around Akira-san. I feel like he's got a crush on him~!"

She squealed in delight and took her seat, and everyone giggled. Lyra shushed them and motioned to Mari.

"I've noticed whenever Natsuki-kun goes fishing with everyone, he always jokes with Akira-san the most. He's growing up~"

She swooned and quickly sat down and Sakura jumped up. "But Mari-chan, my Onii-chan is always the happiest around Yuki. My brother didn't open up much until he met Yuki."

Erika stood and added, "I agree! They were always so lovey-dovey during school and now that they can see each other during summer break-"

Koko quickly got in Erika's face and shouted, "No way could Yuki be with Natsuki! Yuki is ALWAYS with my Nii-chan. It's sooo obvious and hard to ignore those two."

The yelling went back and forth, and occasionally a "No, Natsuki and Akira!" or "Tapioca is obviously his girlfriend!" could be heard above it all. Lyra took a step back in fear. "These ladies know their ships," she thought hiding behind the shelf of reels.

"Excuse me… Excuse- EXCUSE ME!"

Everyone stopped and looked toward the source of the frustration. Keito took a sip of her tea and began.

"Thank you. Now, I am not going against any opinions, but I must say that I know for a fact of my grandson's feelings towards his friends."

Everyone leaned in closer, making sure they did not miss a beat.

"He likes them all."

Ayumi was walking toward the shop, when he heard loud cheering from within. He decided against checking up on Misaki's book club meeting.
