"Ah, this is the best!" Hibiki raises one hand to shield her eyes from the Sun. "Summer, sunshine, snacks, and a game to watch with my best friend! Can you think of a better way to spend an afternoon?"
Kanade does not need to screen her eyes, on account of her sunglasses. All around them, other people are flooding into the sports stadium. A game is about to start.
"If we were watching the game from my place, we'd be able to play with my cats at the same time."
"You're joking, right? I mean, nothing against your kitties, but-"
Hibiki doesn't need to say anything more. It is obvious just from the expression on Kanade's face that she isn't serious. However, before Hibiki can think of anything clever to say, a someone runs into her from behind and grabs Hibiki by the legs.
"Big sister get!" The attacker is a little girl with black hair in twintails.
"Get!" An even smaller girl, with orange hair in braids, latches onto Kanade.
"Gah! Where did you come from?!" Hibiki shouts. "I think I'd know if I had any little sisters!"
Kanade seems just as surprised, but looks closely at the two girls. "Wait, aren't you-"
"Arisa! Ririka! You are in so much trouble!" The girls' mother shouts as she approaches. "What have I told you about bothering strangers?"
"Cure Black!" "Cure Black!"
"Huh?" Nagisa is also wearing sunglasses, but pulls them off and blinks. "Melody! Rhythm! What are you- Oh, of course. You're here for the game too, aren't you?"
"That's right!" Hibiki answers, grinning. "If I can't at least watch from the stands sometimes, I feel like I'd lose my pride as a woman!"
Nagisa chuckles. "A proud girl like you? Perish the thought."
