[Video]

[When the video feed turns on, a young woman is leaning in close to the camera, perplexed.]

Hey, hey--what's going on here? I'm supposed to be at practice right now.

[Kashima leans back from the camera, crossing her arms with a sigh. Frankly, she looks more frustrated than anything else.]

I promised senpai I'd be on time today.

[Your phone definitely does not have any answers for you, Kashima.] If I can't do anything, then...

[The smile she flashes could actually be causing sparkles to appear, but it could be a trick of the eye. Maybe.] If I'm here with you all anyway, then I should at least properly introduce myself! I'm Kashima Yuu!

[Was... that... a sparkling smile? How in the world--] You seem to have bounced right back. That may be a good skill, here.

Of course! [One hand is up, finger extended, as if marking her agreement.]

I'm here anyway. Being upset about it isn't going to change anything.

[...were those more sparkles??]

That certainly is one way of thinking about it.

[Wait, he knows that face.]

...Kashima?

[It was her! It seriously was Kashima! His best friend! Letting out a high squeal, Mikoto leans into the screen.]

Kashima! You're here!!!

[She's not prince of the school for nothing, Darklaw!]

I hope that senpai is all right at home though...who else will help him be the heroine if I'm not there?

[Why are you saying that with such a straight face?]

[And as soon as his smile appears, it fades. He trembles, backing away from the screen, and bursts into tears. His words come out choked between his sobbing.]

Kashima--why! Why didn't you come here sooner! I needed you! I had to go on a date! And then I met a girl and held her hand! And I-I...

[It's too overwhelming and he can no longer speak, so he just makes an annoyed sound and curls up to sulk.]

[ Guess who's gasping in surprise? That's right, this girl. ]

You're here now, too!

Mikoshiba! I didn't know anyone else from Roma--

[Some things never change. While Mikoshiba gets visibly frazzled, she smiles on the other side of the phone.]

You're crying and shaking--you don't need to be nervous.

I'm here for you now.

[Blink.] I'm not exactly sure where here is, but you don't need to worry anymore.

Oh! Chiyo-chan!

[The smile grows just a little more. At least there are familiar faces too. Besides, if Sakura and Mikoshiba are here too, senpai might be as well!]

I didn't know you were here too!

If he is destined to be the heroine of anything then I'm sure he can find out a way on his own.

[Darklaw frowns. This sparkling thing is utterly distracting but she won't say that.]

[Of course he's crying and shaking, but hearing her state that makes him want to try harder. He's somewhere between upset, ecstatic and relieved, and now he's embarrassed too. He tries to calm down, brushing at his eyes and blushing a bright red.]

I wasn't, stupid.

[But even he has to admit, she sounds really cool when she says that. Like a real prince. He stares at her with admiration, nodding before he brightens and cheers up.]

I know where you are! I could come find you, and show you where we're living right now. It would be better than allowing you to get lost.

Kashima? [ kablink ] It's me, Nozaki.

It's a good thing you're here, Mikoshiba will need your help asap.

[ He's never met Kashima before, but he knows she's Mikoshiba's best friend. She might notice the family resemblance.]

Nice to meet you, Yuu-san.

I'm Nozaki Mayu, Umetarou's younger brother.

[Haruka almost face palms at the video, however smiles anyway]

I think your practice might have to wait, though you dont seem at all upset about that....

[Shes a little confused at the reaction, herself.]

Wrong!

[Why are you so happy while saying that? At least the sparkles stopped, replaced with an expression that could pass for serious.

Probably.]

He won't admit that's what he wants. [She pauses, head tilted in thought.] He has a manga all marked up. Mikoshiba mentioned that people are supposed to feel for the heroine. So--

[Kashima smiles. At least she's enthusiastic and means well. That has to count for something, right?] I want to make that happen for senpai!

[Thank god, no more sparkles.]

There are two things I don't understand--what in the world is a manga and what does the title 'senpai' even mean?

[Such terms don't exist in the Middle Ages, after all.]

There's no reason for you to be embarrassed!

[Kashima smiles, and it's genuine. As much as she flirts hopelessly and tends to make a bit of a nuisance of herself, she really does mean well. Mikoshiba is one of her best friends, after all.]

I would love your help. You know where I am? I haven't even said.

[She knows he'll be happy to help--Mikoshiba loves to step in when he can, after all, and she's happy to give him the opportunity. Maybe she's laying it on a smidgen thick, seeing as she of course read the information pamphlet provided and gotten an idea of what's going on. That doesn't mean that she knows exactly where she is, though.]

I'll be waiting for you here.

Oh.

Manga is a sort of story, with pictures. A lot of people think they're just for kids, but a lot of times they have really involved stories. I saw senpai reading this one called 'Let's Love!', and he had all the pages marked up and everything.

[She tilts her head.] Senpai...is...he's my senior in drama club. It's kind of a term of respect.

Oh--Nozaki!

[Waving!]

Yeah, yeah. He already called me. He knows where we are, so he said he'd come meet me here.

[He...is actually going to come, right, Nozaki?]

[Wow, you are a ~~miniature~~ smaller version of Nozaki.

Kashima waves, smiling.]

Hi, Mayu-kun.

[She peers into the camera, tilting her head.] You look just like your brother! I'm sure you get that a lot, though.

As long as senpai won't miss me. I don't want to get in extra trouble for not showing up--I was actually going to go on time today, and everything!

[HUFF.]

Ah... I see.

[So he was an artist? Of some kind.]

You do seem to respect him a great deal.

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small[even>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Ah... I see.

<small>[So he was an artist? Of some kind.]</small>

You do seem to respect him a great deal. <small[Even if this senpai seemed really odd.]</small>

[He's not embarrassed! He is embarrassed. But he's too excited for the chance to have someone rely on him, and it's Kashima of all people. Generally, she's the one who helps him, not the other way around. Maybe showing how reliable and protective he can be will even impress Mayu. Or someone.

He nods, a pink blush tinting his cheeks.]

We all arrive in the same place, so you can't be too far from where I was!

[He looks very pleased with this information. Are you proud of him, Kashima?]

I can meet you there in no time. Don't be scared.

[She smiles. Mikoshiba's response is familiar, if nothing else, and that in and of itself calming. Kashima waves at the camera and, since she'll be waiting anyway, settles into a nearby bench. At least it isn't too chilly today; their uniforms aren't exactly the warmest.]

I'll be here waiting for you!

[She is proud that Mikoshiba is coming for her. It's very brave of him. But she won't agree that she's scared, because she absolutely is not.

Maybe a little. But hardly.]

I'm not scared. Just don't take too long.
