Maki ask her best friend. "Well, the bed is big enough, so why not share with me?" Honoka requested. "Alright, I guess I don't have a choice then." Maki's replied. "Honoka, I'm going to rent my room to somebody else alright?" Maki suggested. "Alright, Maki-chan." She agreed. "Goodnight, Honoka-chan." "Goodnight, Maki-chan." They bid goodnight. 'Daisuki, Honoka.' Maki thought before going to sleep.

The next morning Honoka woke up to see Maki not in her bed, worried about her red-headed friend she when to search or her. She ran quickly until she stumbled upon her talking to another person a male to be precise."Thank you for the room Ms Nishikino, is it? The guy told her. "Yeah, that is my family name, I'm Maki Nishikino." She confirmed to him. "Maki-chan, there you are, I'm been looking everywhere for you, who's that."

"Maki-chan what are you doing here?" "Honoka, this is Celex, the person I'm selling the room to." "Oh, hello, I'm…" There's not need to introduce, I actually know you girls, you girls have a group idol call Muse/μ's right?" Celex confirmed. "Yes, that's us." "You're Maki Nishikino and you are Honoka Kousaka aren't ya?" He asked them. "Yes, Again." "Well, Maki-chan, we're famous but I still don't trust that guy, he's up to something I swear." Honoka suggested. "Honoka, don't be so suspiciously over him." Are you taking his side?" "No, of course not, I'm just asking you not to suspect anything about him." Maki told her. "Alright, Maki-chan." "Honoka, are you jealous of him?" Maki suggested. "No, I'm not" Honoka denied. "Oh, you are right, I'm jealous.

"I meant Maki c'mon we're been best friends." Honoka pleaded. "And we're still are." The red-headed tomato girl answered. She kissed her forehead for comfort. "You're my best friend, Honoka. No matter what."

"Thanks, Maki-chan I appreciate it." "you're welcome, I promise I won't let anything or anyone ruin our friendship." She reassured and comfort her. "Geez, you're reckless without me aren't you." Maki added. Honoka nodded, "After Umi broke up with me for Kotori, things aren't the same, but I'm happy for them and I moved on, since then." But I'm still little bit lonely now." 'My turn to take take charge for her, you have your chance Umi.' Maki thought silently. "Don't worry Honoka, I'll never leave you alone, except for personal space." "Alright Maki, thanks." Honoka thanked her."
