Still The Same

Still, everyone are trying to come up with a plan. Especially Ibara. "Maybe I shouldn't think of it anymore," Haruto thought. He then said, "Have you come up with something?" "Well," Ibara said, "I did."

"We know," Mihiru said, "You would introduce me to some of the wonderful people you've met in Tokyo." "Yes," That," Ibara answered. "Well," Haruto said, "That's what we've decided." "Still clueless, most of the time," Kanon said sarcastically. "Well," Haruto said, "Let's not go too far on my wife."

"True," Taeko said. "And you were doing what to us?" Aoi asked. "Well," Shion replied, "Hostile?" Everyone agreed. Everyone, except Mihiru. "Well," Haruto said, "Easy come, easy go." "Yes," Ibara answered, "From someone who can lift a tanker."

Just then, Aoi's communication device rang. She checked it. "Hey, I got a message from Ibuse!" Aoi said, looking at her device. "What does it say?" Mihiru asked. "He says," Aoi began reading Ibuse's message, "Doing fine over here. How's it going over there? Got to go."

"That was quick," Ibara said. "He is busy," Aoi replied, answering back in response, "He said he and the Vice Principal are-They…." "Well, go on," Haruto said. But Aoi replied, "I'll get back to you on that."

"Having a hard time trying to say it," Mihiru asked. "Oh, yes," Shio answered. "That's Aoi, for us," Ibara said with a smile. "It's our decision," Mihiru said. "Right," Ibara agreed.

Soon enough, it was near sundown and it was time for everyone to leave. "Thanks for coming over to visit!" Mihiru called out. "No problem," Taeko said, "We'll see each other again soon." "And it will be soon," Ibara said. "That's the right way!" Aoi chirped. "We'll do it," Ibara said. "Well," Taeko said, "Say hi to Ibuki for me."

"We will," Ibara answered. "And I've already done so!" Aoi said in response. "Oh well," said Taeko. "Take care, Kanon said to Mihiru. "I will," Mihiru replied. And the four friend left.

"Let me guess," Shion said to Aoi, "Ibuse sent you a lot of hearts and smiling faces to you while telling you what he and the Vice Principal are doing." "Yes," Aoi answered meekly. "Do you think?" Mihiru said. "Yes," Ibara answered.
