Touma drove while Shin sat in the passanger car of the blue-haired man's, looking at a map of thier city. "Here." Shin said, pointing at a northern part on the map. "We haven't looked here yet." As Shin sat in the car, he heard the little voice on the radio begin saying some magical words;
"For all you La'Cryma Christi fans out there, we have something special for you." Shin turned the radio volume up just in time to hear the famous guitar note that starts off Touma's favorite LCC song, In Forest. Both of the two men's eyes went wide as they looked at each other with a big smile, turned the volume to the maximum level, rolled down the windows, and began to sing.
"Garasu no meiro no naka de Anata wo tsutsumi konderu Utsuro na hitomi de
Kiri to tomo ni!" Touma screamed out to the cars passing him. "Yubi no sukima wo surinuke Masshiro na toiki Yozora ni suwarete yuku yo Miageta boku no hitai ni Maiorita yuki ga Rasen wo egaki hajimeta!" Shin yelled to the school children crossing the road to go to school. They each turned to each other, and with huge grins, sang, "Garasu no meiro no naka de Anata wo tsutsumi konderu Utsuro na hitomi de Kiri to tomo ni!" As they drove on towards their destination, together they finished off the song. "Tokai kurashi ni tsukareta Anata no senaka wa Kodoku na jikan wo kataru Shiranai aida ni dekiteta Kanashimi no mizo wo Kono yukitotomo ni umeyou So... Daijyoubu Shizuka ni me wo tojite Ah... Daremo ga Ichiban taisetsu na hito nounmei to soi neshitai Sou kanjiteiru Garasu no meiro no naka de Anata wo tsutsumi konderu Utsuro na hitomi de Kiri to tomo ni Garasu no meiro no naka de Anata wo tsutsumi konderu Utsuro na hitomi de Kiri to tomo ni Garasu no meiro no naka de Anata wo tsutsumi konderu."
They finished the song as soon as they parked in front of a diner, "The Cozmos". They walked into the restaurant and were greeted by an empty place, except for five girls working. Shin and Touma recognized them immediantly. Michiru, her roommate Haruka, their friends Rei and Makoto and.....
"Ami..." Shin said, shocked. She turned to face him, with a blush. "Oh, Shin. How nice to see you. What brings you here?" she said, almost devoid of any emotion or concern in her voice.
Then, Shin remembered what she had done, and anger began to set in. "Oh, not much." He said nonchalantly. "Who are you doing here?" She gave him a stunned expression. "Uh... what?" "Oh, I jsut figured you were meeting a boyfriend here. Or two. Maybe even three. By the way, just how many do you have now?" He blush went from embarrasment to anger. "Excuse me. but I don't think that's any of your business. And just for your information, I'm not here to meet anyone. I work here." "But you didn't answer my question." Shin continued, enjoying his time of getting things off of his chest. "How many boyfriends do you have?" "I said that's none of your business! God, apparently you haven't lost any of the thickness to your skull since when we last went out! I still have to tell you things twice!" "Hey! I don't think you should be talking, Ami!" Michiru came in to the argument. Ami turned her anger on her. "Oh, please! You defend him when I say something, but you don't do a damn thing when he's being rude to me!" "Well..." Haruka said thoughtfully. "I think you deserve whatever he has to say about you, after what you did to him." "Hey! Whose side are you on?!" Rei joined in the argument. "I don't think he has the right to come in here and harass one of us!" "What the hell are you talking about?" Makato added. " They didn't come into a private property, they came into a restaurant." Ami began to scream. "Well, make the choice! Either they leave and we put on a restraining order, or i quit!" She crossed her arms to show her stone hard stance on the subject. "Me too!" Rei said, standing next to her friend, crossing her arms in the same manner. Makoto, Michiru, and Haruka exchanged worried looks.
"You can't do this!" Rei was screaming at the top of her lungs to the closed doors of the restaurant. Ami was sitting on the ground, crying. Rei yelled again. "If this is your decision, then we're moving out of the apartment!" She stormed over to her car, putting a crying Ami in it, then sped off.
"Well," Michiru started. "Looks like we have an opening for two honest hard workers here." She looked around. "Hmmm....who could we get." "Hey," Haruka joined in. "How about those two guys standing there in the aisle? they look honest enough." "Well?" Makoto chimed in. "What do you think?" Shin turned to Touma and smiled. "You know what? I think we just might be able to help you out."
