With Chiaki

Location: Gym

Please excuse meee~…

Hm? Ohhh, would you like to use the gym? Sorry! The Basketball Club reserved the spot for this hour!

However, you're free to use the unreserved space over on that side!

Ahh, no, I'm just here to pick up something I forgot.

Um, there's only you here, though. Where are the rest of the club members?

Oh, I actually came here a little earlier than the appointed time.

Nobody's here yet. But I figured I could use my spare time playing basketball by myself!

Huh, I see… Oh! Did this fall out of the ball basket? Oh well, here goes nothing—Aaand shoot…! ☆

Ohhh~! Wow, you shot the goal perfectly! Do you have experience in basketball by any chance!?

Ahaha, I just got lucky! I felt like I could make the shot from my spot, is all.

That's still amazing, y'know!? You might have what it takes to become a basketball player!

Ermm… Would you mind practicing with me until the rest of my club members arrive? Only if you're alright with it, of course!

Ah, sure! I don't really have anything to do right now, so I may as well~♪

Heh… I dunno if I'll ever get another chance to play with the basketball captain himself, so I'm gonna go all out. Please make sure to prepare yourself~♪

With Midori

Location: Entrance

(I don't have any unit or club activities for the day, so I can go home straight away…)

(And my parents told me I don't have to help out today, so I finally have a day for myself…♪)

Heeey, Midori-kun!

Eep—! Huh, Aoi-kun? W-What's wrong…? Why're you out of breath…?

Oh, nah, nothing bad happened. Anyway, you free right now, Midori-kun?

No, I'm not… I have something to do…

Oh, okay… I wanted you to come with me somewhere if you had the time to spare, but oh well…

(Uu… He looks so down…)

(Maybe I shouldn't have lied to him… Uuu~ I won't be able to sleep through the guilt if I go home now…)

Um, Aoi-kun… I know I said I had something to do just a second ago, but I can leave it for later, so… I could at least hear you out…

Woah, really!? Thanks~ I'm so glad to have such a kind classmate! ♪

Right, so—Yuuta-kun and I were planning to go to a live show together, but he won't be able to make it anymore 'cause something came up outta nowhere.

I couldn't get anyone else to join me either, 'cause they've all got things to do…

I could just go on my own, but I'd be wasting a ticket, so I wanted to try finding someone to go with.

So, Midori-kun! Come with me to the live show! Please

Ehh…? I just said I'd only hear you out…

So it's a no-go…? There isn't much time left 'til it starts, though! You're the only one I can count on at this point~!

Uuu… I guess it'd be a shame to let that ticket go to waste… But I'm only making an exception this once, okay…?

Thanks a bunch~! Mhm, mhm, I'm so glad I have such a kind guy for a classmate~♪
