## Transcript

[Music Club, Morning]

(Fuyu and Bestisia enters the clubroom)

**Bestisia** : We're back!

(Bestisia salutes towards Miezu and Nagi)

**Miezu** : Welcome back. Did something happen?

**Fuyu** : Don't worry, it's just one of my classmates.

**Nagi** : Dojima Hidetaka, right?

**Fuyu** : Correct.

**Bestisia** : A few of Fuyu-san's classmates were injured, and Shimazu-sensei was also hurt.

**Miezu** : Shimazu-sensei too?

**Bestisia** : Unfortunately, yes.

**Bestisia** : But Katayama-san and Fuyu-san are very awesome! They both stopped Dojima-san!

**Nagi** : What...?

**Miezu** : ...

(Nagi and Miezu looks at Fuyu, and then starts laughing)

**Bestisia** : ...Eh?

**Nagi** : I didn't know you can make up jokes, Lorraine!

**Miezu** : Hahaha, oh my god! That's a good one, though.

**Nagi** : Lorraine, I think you're seeing things. How can someone as slim as Fuyu can beat a tough delinquent like Dojima?

**Bestisia** : B-But she technically did! She's tiring him out so Katayama-san can catch him off guard!

**Nagi** : Yeah, I believe the joke's been going for far too long. Alright, you two, let's prepare to practice.

**Miezu** : Yup. Let's not waste any more time joking around, okay?

(Nagi walks to the storage room to get music instruments)

(Bestisia looks at Fuyu)

(Fuyu shakes her head)

**Fuyu** : You heard them. Let's prepare for practice.

**Bestisia** : O...Okay.

[Later...]

(Rooftop, Lunchtime)

(Fuyu and Bestisia prepares to have lunch, with Fuyu staring at the blue sky while Bestisia is still visibly concerned)

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu looks at Bestisia, but chooses to not say anything)

**Bestisia** : Fuyu-san...I wonder why they said that?

**Fuyu** : ...Who knows.

**Bestisia** : You did the right thing! Had you not done anything, Dojima-san would hurt more people.

(Fuyu stays quiet, but she looks at Bestisia who continues talking)

**Bestisia** : Also he was so rude towards you, Fuyu-san! Calling you those harsh words and all that!

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu tilts her head a bit, while looking at Bestisia)

**Bestisia** : ...Fuyu-san?

**Fuyu** : Lorraine, do you...

**Bestisia** : ...?

**Fuyu** : ...do you always talk this much?

**Bestisia** : ...

(Bestisia's face turns red)

**Bestisia** : ...AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

**Bestisia** : I-I did it again!!!

(Bestisia hides her embarrassed face with her hands)

**Bestisia** : Y-Yes, as embarrassing as it is...I do tend to talk a lot.

**Bestisia** : I sincerely apologize if you find me annoying, Fuyu-san!

(Bestisia bows continously towards Fuyu)

**Fuyu** : ...It's not a big deal, honestly.

**Bestisia** : R-Really?

**Fuyu** : I don't mind.

(Bestisia is touched)

**Bestisia** : F-Fuyu-san...! Thank you!

(Bestisia wants to hug Fuyu, but Fuyu places her hand on Bestisia's face)

**Fuyu** : No hugging.

**Bestisia** : ...A-Affirmative.

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu takes out a rather huge bento box)

**Bestisia** : Holy. Are you going to eat all of the things inside, Fuyu-san?

**Fuyu** : No. I think some of these was meant to be kept for later.

(Fuyu opens the bento box, and the food inside was high quality food)

**Bestisia** : ...I-Is that lobster?

**Fuyu** : ...Isn't this caviar?

**Fuyu** : (Hanami...This is all your idea, isn't it?)

**Fuyu** : ...?

(Fuyu takes out a piece of meat from the huge bundles of food)

**Fuyu** : ...A steak?

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu places the steak at Bestisia's bento)

**Bestisia** : Eh?

**Fuyu** : Take it. I'm not feeling like eating beef steak.

**Bestisia** : Uh, okay! Thank you, Fuyu-san.

**Fuyu** : Don't mention it.

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu looks at Bestisia, while Bestisia is enjoying the steak)

**Bestisia** : HMMMM!!! So good!

(Fuyu looks at her food)

**Fuyu** : (Alright...Now to finish this slowly...)

**Bestisia** : Ah!

(Bestisia notices someone)

**Fuyu** : ...?

(Bestisia waves at two girls who just arrives at the rooftop)

**Friendly Girl** : Ah, Lorraine. What a coincidence. Are you having lunch here, too?

**Bestisia** : Yup!

**Other Girl** : ...? Hello there.

(The other girl greets Fuyu)

**Fuyu** : ...Oh, hello.

**Friendly Girl** : Ah, isn't this Fuyu from 2-A? I didn't know the two of you are friends.

**Bestisia** : Actually, we're just clubmates. We're not actually friends yet, ahaha...

**Fuyu** : ...She has a point.

**Marie Nagatsuka** : Ah, I see. My name is Nagatsuka Marie, Lorraine's classmate. Nice to meet you, Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : Hm. It's an honor. And you?

**Ayaka Saito** : I'm the same as them, from 2-C. My name is Ayaka Saito, nice to meet you.

**Fuyu** : Mm. Anyways, are you two hungry?

**Marie** : Hm, I'm having bread today. Ayaka, what did you bring?

**Ayaka** : I brought tako sausages and croquettes today. Here, have some if you want to.

**Fuyu** : Okay, thank you. In exchange...

(Fuyu uses her chopstick to pick up one of the sushis from her bento and gives it to Ayaka)

**Fuyu** : Here you go.

**Ayaka** **& Marie** : ...

**Ayaka** : Um, Fuyu. May I ask what this is?

**Fuyu** : Wait a second. I'll check it.

(Fuyu takes out a small paper, which lists the foods inside her bento)

**Fuyu** : Hmm...

**Fuyu** : That's the "Wagyu Honey-Glazed Foie Gras Sushi".

**Marie** : Foie Gras...?!

**Ayaka** : W-Wagyu...?!

**Bestisia** : ...?

**Fuyu** : Yeah. I have more if you want to.

**Marie & Ayaka** : ...

(Marie and Ayaka retreats further to the side)

**Marie** : Did she seriously just say "foie gras" and "wagyu" together?

**Ayaka** : ...

**Marie** : Say, isn't that too overkill for a simple, day-to-day lunch?

**Bestisia** : Hey, what are you two whispering about?

**Fuyu** : Lorraine, here. You can have sushi.

**Bestisia** : Eh?! Really? Thank you!

(Bestisia eats the sushi, and smiles happily)

**Bestisia** : So..,good!

**Fuyu** : Nagatsuka, Saito.

**Marie & Ayaka** : Y-Yes?

**Fuyu** : Here you go.

(Fuyu gives one to each of them)

**Marie & Ayaka** : ...

(Marie and Ayaka looks at each other, and then both eats the sushi at the same time)

**Marie & Ayaka** : ...!!!

**Marie & Ayaka** : (S-SO GOOD...!!!)

(Both of them went silent for a while)

**Fuyu** : Are you two okay?

**Marie** : F-Fuyu...did you cook this food?

**Fuyu** : No. Someone else made it for me.

**Marie** : Oh, ahaha...I see.

**Ayaka** : Delicious food aside, what were you two talking about?

**Bestisia** : We were talking about-

**Fuyu** : Not much. Just talking about how our practice session will go in the Music Club later.

**Ayaka** : The Music Club? I thought only one member remained...

**Bestisia** : Hehehe. There are three of us now!

**Ayaka** : Is that so...?

**Marie** : But in order to be allowed to function as an active club, you need two more members.

**Bestisia** : ...Oh yeah, the five-person rule.

**Bestisia** : Nagatsuka-san, Saito-san. Are you both in a club?

**Marie** : Yup! I'm in the Cooking Club.

(Ayaka mumbles to herself)

**Ayaka** : Perhaps I could...

**Marie** : ...?

**Fuyu** : ...

**Bestisia** : ...Hm? Did you say something, Saito-san?

**Ayaka** : Huh? Oh, it's nothing.

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu looks at Ayaka, while Marie looks at Fuyu)

**Ayaka** : I haven't joined any clubs yet, but I'll consider your offer, Lorraine.

**Bestisia** : Really? That's good, then!

**Fuyu** : Have a seat over there. Let's eat while we continue chatting.

**Marie** : We have to thank Principal Tadatsune's school system for this! We got to have breaks as much as we want!

**Bestisia** : Too true!

(Marie and Bestisia are happily chatting while Fuyu looks at Ayaka, who seems to be in deep thought)

**Fuyu** : ...

**Bestisia** : Ah, I left my wallet in class!

**Marie** : Why? Do you need it for something?

**Bestisia** : Yes, there's something I'm planning to buy after lunch.

**Marie** : In that case, let's go together!

**Ayaka** : Huh?

**Marie** : Come on, let's go. We'll be back in a bit!

**Ayaka** : Nagatsuka, I should-

**Marie** : Oh, come on Saito. If you go, then we'll be leaving Fuyu alone.

**Ayaka** : Y-You have a point...

**Marie** : We'll be right back, okay? Just sit tight and enjoy your lunch!

(Marie drags Bestisia and leaves the rooftop area)

**Ayaka** : ...

**Fuyu** : ...

**Ayaka** :

**Fuyu** : Why do you hesitate?

**Ayaka** : Eh?

**Fuyu** : You were hesitating when you gave Lorraine the answer.

**Ayaka** : Ah, that...

**Ayaka** : ...

**Ayaka** : Sorry, I'd rather not talk about it.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Fuyu** : That's fine.

(Afterwards, Marie and Bestisia returns. Fuyu and Bestisia later leaves first to return to the Music Club)

[Hallway, YamiTsume High School]

(Bestisia and Fuyu walks down the hallway)

**Bestisia** : What a great lunch session! Let's do it again, Fuyu-san!

**Fuyu** : ...

**Bestisia** : Fuyu-san?

**Fuyu** : What do you think of Saito?

**Bestisia** : Saito...? She's a very friendly girl.

**Fuyu** : Do you know about her past?

**Bestisia** : Her past...? No, I don't.

**Fuyu** : ...Then looks like we'll have to take the initiative.

(Fuyu enters the Music Club)

**Miezu** : Oh, hey there.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Nagi** : Fuyu? What's wrong?

**Fuyu** : Tadashiro-san, Asagami-san. I need your help to find information on a certain student.

**Nagi** : Huh? Why?

**Fuyu** : She might become a potential member of the Music Club if I could convince her.

**Bestisia** : Wait, Fuyu-san. Is the one you're talking about...

**Fuyu** : Yes. That person is Saito Ayaka.

**Miezu** : ...

**Miezu** : I see, Fuyu. So you can see it too...

**Nagi** : See what?

**Miezu** : Someone's hidden talent and passion in music, that is.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Miezu** : (To think that she could actually see it...)

**Miezu** : As the leader of the Music Club, I approve!

**Miezu** : However, we need to visit "them" in order to find out about her background.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Miezu** : The Student Council.
