Scene 36: The Girlfriend greets the rest of the cast

"We really shouldn't be doing this." Anri tried to reason but the two girls in front of her were having a great time. So much that they ended up inviting more people than necessary to this.

"Kida-sempai's on a D-A-T-E. There's no way I'm not meeting the girl who has yet to break up with him." Mairu declared with a grin, Kururi right behind her.

"Meeting is for a face-to-face talk. What you're doing is stalking." Kadota declared, standing like a normal pedestrian. Togusa stood next to him, keeping an eye for the otakus behind the two girls who were making sure Anri hid herself.

"This is way too much fun to not do! What could she be like? Proper? Gangster? Hippie? A cool gal? Laid-back? Very scary? Gothic? Loli? Both? Psycho?" Mairu continued listing types, not noticing that Saki had stopped right next to them.

"Uh…" Togusa began, about to mention Saki when the girl decided to speak.

"I like to think I'm an esper. Or at least, that's what Masaomi likes to think. He's a very funny guy but I'm glad you don't think the same." Saki smiled and bowed to each of them. "Nice to meet you. I'm Mikajima Saki. Now, if you'll excuse me, Mairu-chan, Kururi-chan, Anri-san, Karisawa-san, Yumasaki-san, Togusa-san and Kadota-san." With that, she left them and joined Masaomi who had been waiting for her.

"That woman might really be an esper! Scary! Does that mean she can read my thoughts? Oh, but I'd still do her if she ever decides to leave Kida-sempai. You think she'd give me a chance?" Mairu looked over to her sister.

"Idiot. (Stop joking around.)" Kururi responded with a shake of her head.

"Let's go you two." Kadota told Yumasaki and Karisawa with a serious gaze.

"But this was actually entertaining!" Karisawa pouted but remembered that there was a store she wanted to go to today.

"Anri-chan, you want us to give you a ride?" Yumasaki asked with a grin.

"No, it's okay. Thank you for offering." And with that, Anri disappeared into the crowd.

"She seemed like she was in a hurry." Kadota noted and eyed a camera nearby. 'Did he ask her for something?' He wondered to himself.
