Hokuto: It's gotten pretty late. Let's end today's lesson here and disperse.

Subaru: ♪ ~ ♪ ~

Hokuto: Akehoshi.

Subaru: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪ ~

Hokuto: Akehoshi!

Subaru: Uwah, you startled me!? What's wrong? Are we out of time to use this room?

Hokuto: We're not, but it's gotten late. Let's disband here and get together again tomorrow.

Subaru: Oh, is that right? Hm~ But going back home is a pain, and we're only halfway done with the posters...
Subaru: Hey Hokke~, did anyone rent this room after us? If not, let's rent it for a 24 hour period! Let's have a sleepover with everyone~☆

Hokuto: Geez... It seems like there's no one signed up for this room after us, but we haven't done any preparations for a sleepover. It's a bad habit of yours to just blurt out things like this without thinking first.

Adonis: If we need futons, I can bring them in.
Adonis: I carried a futon over to the archery club when Kagehira stayed over there one time. I am strong, so it's easy for me to carry enough futons for everyone here.

Subaru: That's our Occhan, so reliable~♪

Natsume: Baru-kUN. I've gotten sweaty from the practiCE, so I'd like to return home to change clothes firST.

Subaru: Ah, then let's go get our gym uniforms! I've also gotten covered in sweat, so I was thinking of changing clothes~♪

Natsume: Ah~aH. I was trying to make up some half-assed excuse to go home and skip out on the sleepovER, but you foiled my plAN.

Subaru: Geez. Last time you said you wanted to have a sleepover, though...

Natsume: Eh? I don't remember saying such a thiNG. Isn't your memory mistaken, Baru-kUN?

Subaru: Back when the yellow kid and blue senpai slept over at my house, you found out about it and seemed suuuper jealous though, don't you remember that?

Natsume: I wasn't jealous or anything of the soRT. Aah, geEZ, I get furious just remembering IT. Next time I see that Mojacko, I'll have my revenGE.

Subaru: Ahaha, so you do hold a grudge. Wanna have a pillow fight? Or we could play cards! I think we can buy a card set at the convenience store!

Hokuto: Akehoshi. I'll give in to your demands for a sleepover, but we need to send Anzu home first.

Subaru: Eh, why? It'd be so mean of us to send her home and have fun all by ourselves. It's fine! Anzu can sleep next to me~♪

Makoto: No, no, no, that's not fine at all, Akehoshi-kun! Anzu-chan is a girl, so we really can't have her sleep in the same room as us!

Subaru: Ah, I see... Uu~ It's too bad, but it can't be helped.

Hokuto: Akehoshi. If we're really doing a sleepover, I'll take care of the formalities, but Anzu aside, can everyone else stay over?

Souma: Hidaka-dono.
Souma: Getting permission from my parents would prove to be difficult, so... I apologize, but I won't be able to participate.

Subaru: Eeh, Zaki-san is going home, too!? That's so lonely~ Won't you let me try to call your parents and beg them for permission?

Hokuto: Stop it, Akehoshi. You're troubling Kanzaki.

Subaru: But, but... We finally get to do a sleepover with our classmates, so don't you think it's lonely, Hokke~?

Hokuto: Whether it's lonely or not is beside the point. We weren't planning on having a sleepover in the first place.
Hokuto: You just thought it'd be a pain to go back home, and that's why it's come to this.
Hokuto: Well, I'll go along with it so you need to be satisfied with just that.

Makoto: Akehoshi-kun, I'm staying over, too! Otogari-kun, what about you?

Adonis: My sisters said I don't have to do any housework today, so there should be no reason I can't join. ...Well, I'll contact them later anyway.

Makoto: Yeah, your sisters would probably get worried, so it's best to contact them.
Makoto: I should also mail my mother and tell her that I'll be having a sleepover with friends at school.

Adonis: Anzu, let me walk you home. It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone at this time of night.

Souma: In that case, let me be the one to escort Anzu.
Souma: Hm, so you came by train today. Very well, I will walk you to the train station.
Souma: Aah, I'll get changed speedily, so please wait for me at the entrance. Then, Anzu, I'll see you in a moment.

Location: Road to School

Souma: Oh... It has become quite dark already.

Anzu-dono, rather than just the station, let me walk you all the way home. You asked your parents to pick you up at the station in your neighbourhood?

Hm..? What is it, Anzu-dono? You're smiling to yourself.

Anzu-dono doesn't show her emotions on her face very often, so I was surprised. Being with us has been a lot of fun for you, you say.

Me? ...You're right, it's not good to hide things from you.

To tell the truth, I have been so worried about the "Repayment Fes" that I have not been able to enjoy myself from the bottom of my heart.

Us underclassmen are the focus of the "Repayment Fes". There is still some time until then, but if I dawdle around, it'll be here in an instant.

Once my senpais from Akatsuki graduate, I will be all alone.

During "Repayment Fes", I must prove to my senpais that I am fine on my own so they can graduate without worry.

Of course, I plan to participate in the "raibu".... But I feel guilty that only I am unable to enjoy myself from the bottom of my heart.

Eh, "so that's why you didn't stay for the sleepover", you say?

Yes, that is why. ....Hm? "That's why this is the right time to get excited with everyone from our "kurasu"", you say?

Hmm, I see... It is as you say, Anzu-dono. During the "ressun", I had a lot of fun.

Outside of our classes, I don't really get chances to dance and sing together with my "kurasumeitos"... That's why it was an exciting, fresh experience for me, in a good way.

....It's certainly as you say, Anzu-dono.

Location: In front of the station

Souma: We have arrived at the station. Anzu-dono, be careful on your way home.

Fufu, my family's house is not far from school, so don't worry. Besides, I am a young man, I will not be attacked by some rascal.

Eh, I look like I would get mistaken for a girl when seen from behind, you say? Hmm, perhaps because of the length of my hair?

Well, there are street lights around here. I don't think there would be anyone who would mistake me for a girl like this.

Well then, Anzu-dono. We'll see each other at school tomorrow ♪

...Hm?

(Somehow, I can hear a strange "merodii". And it's coming from... my bag.)

Aah, it's my "sumaho" (smart phone). Hasumi-dono repeatedly told to me carry it with me, so I put it in my bag and forgot about it.

Errr, if I press this "botan" (button) I will be able to accept the phone call...?

He, hello? Did I accept the call properly?

Subaru: I'm glad~! You picked up the phone!

I've heard that Zaki-san isn't the type to carry his phone with him, so I was worried you wouldn't pick up even if I called you.

Souma: Hm, is this Akehoshi-dono? What do you need?

...Hm? Akehoshi-dono? Akehoshi-dono~?

(Hmmm.... There's no reply. Maybe my "sumaho" is broken?)

Owah, the strange "merodii" from earlier is sounding again!? Err, hello~...?

Makoto: Kanzaki-kun? Hello~, can you hear me?

Souma: Y, yes. Yuuki-dono, the phone call suddenly got interrupted. Could it have been my "sumaho" breaking down?

Makoto: You probably pressed the "end call" button on accident.

I'll give this phone back to Akehoshi-kun in a moment, but if you ever need help with your smartphone, come and ask me for help, okay?

Subaru: Ahaha, you suddenly went all silent during the call so I got surprised!

Umm, I'm going to give up if it doesn't connect this time, but... I'll take a chance and say it one more time, okay?

Zaki-san, you should come to the sleepover after all!

You're also one of our precious classmates, and if possible, I want to make memories with you, too!

Souma: Akehoshi-dono...

Adonis: Kanzaki. Everyone wants to make memories with you. Of course, I feel that way as well. You're my precious friend, after all.

Souma: Adonis-dono...

I understand. Anzu-dono just now convinced me to use the time until "Repayment Fes" to enjoy myself at the "kurasu raibu".

But I won't see it as a simple breather.

I've realized that as well as proving myself to my graduating senpais is important to me, I also really want to make memories with my "kurasumeitos".

Alright, I'll call my parents and ask for their permission. If they allow it, I will return to the school at once. Err, everyone. Please take care of me tonight ♪

Location: Soundproof lesson room (With Futons)

Subaru: Zaki-san, welcome back~♪
Subaru: Me and Occhan brought in a futon for you as well, Zaki-san! I put it down next to Occhans futon, is that okay?

Hokuto: Akehoshi, don't pull at the futon so violently. You're getting dust everywhere.

Subaru: Isn't it fine? The futons were aired out properly, so they smell nice! They smell like the sun....☆
Subaru: Hey, hey. Since Zaki-san joined us on the sleepover, why don't we all play something together?
Subaru: I bought a deck of playing cards while we were carrying in the futons, so why don't we all play cards?

Hokuto: I'm good at card games. I used to play Old Maid and Sevens with my grandma all the time.

Subaru: Let's play President! President!

Hokuto: Listen to others when they're talking. Well, President is well known enough, so I'm familiar with the rules. What about everyone else?

Souma: I don't have much experience when it comes to "toranpu" (card games). Hidaka-dono, you mentioned "Old Maid", I do know of that one.
Souma: But I am more well versed in hanafuda. Since I sometimes play it with Anzu-dono and Adonis-dono, I always carry a set of hanafuda cards with me.

Subaru: Oh~ There's drawings on the cards! I like this card the most, it has lots of flowers drawn on it~ It's all flashy and sparkly♪

Souma: Hm, that is "Curtain and Cherry Blossoms". Since you like flashy cards, what do you think of this one, Akehoshi-dono?
Souma: If you collect both of them, it's three brights, and with these it's five brights. That's the strongest hand, but it's fairly difficult to collect all of them.
Souma: As long as you can remember these hands, you'll be fine.

Subaru: Hmm~, I've seen you guys play before, and it sure seems like an interesting game! If you have a book of the rules, let me read it!

Souma: Fufu, I am glad to see you take an interest in hanafuda.

Adonis: Kanzaki, you seem to be having fun. Let me join in, too.

Hokuto: Actually, I just realized... I can't see Sakasaki anywhere.

Makoto: Huh, you're right! I wonder when he disappeared...?

Hokuto: Hmm. I guess he might have gone home?

Natsume: Good night ♪
Natsume: I made some tea for everyoNE. While I was at it, I prepared a light snaCK.

Hokuto: Thanks, Sakasaki. I was sure you'd have gone home.

Natsume: If I went home, Baru-kun would never let me hear the end of IT. Anyway, the tea will get cold, so I wish you'd drink it soON.

Hokuto: Yeah, I'll have some. *sip sip*... It's really delicious. And it has a nice aroma.

Makoto: Yep, it warms me up all the way to the inside~♪ Sakasaki-kun, what's the name of this tea?

Natsume: It's a blend I've made myself, so it doesn't have a name or anythiNG.
Natsume: There's a lot of things in it that are good for your boDY. If you'd like, I can teach you how to make IT.

Souma: Something smells good... I see, Sakasaki-dono poured some tea.

Natsume: Souma-kun and Baru-kun, have some tOO. If there's not enough snacks for everyone, I can go to the kitchen and whip something UP.

Souma: I'm grateful. Actually, since I still have some seafood in the kitchen fridge that I received from buchou-dono, I'll cook something as well.

Subaru: Yay, I can't wait~♪
Subaru: Hm? Occhan, you're silently putting away the futons, is that some new kind of game?

Adonis: The futons are school property, so we can't let them get dirty. That's why I was putting them aside.

Subaru: I'll help you! You're carrying futons for 4 people. You sure are strong~, Occhan!

Adonis: Yeah, leave any physical work to me.

Makoto: ...Ah!

Hokuto: You surprised me. What's wrong Yuuki, why'd you shout?

Makoto: Err, I just remembered I forgot to set a recording for the gaming live broadcast at home... Do you think it's okay if I watch it just a little? Of course, I'll turn the volume off!

Hokuto: I don't mind. We're all drinking and eating, so you're free to do as you like.
Hokuto: At this point, everyone's unrestrained. But just for today, I think it's fine to cut loose and just have fun.

- Several hours later -

Souma: ...............

Subaru: Zaki-sa~n~? You're sitting on my futon, if possible, could you move?

Souma: ...............

Subaru: Hee~ey, Zaki-san! Don't ignore me! I'm lonely~!

Adonis: Akehoshi, Kanzaki is sleeping so there's no point in talking to him.

Subaru: Ah, Zaki-san is sleeping whilst sitting upright!? ...You're right! I can hear him breathe in his sleep!
Subaru: But if we let him sleep in this position he's going to feel stiff in the morning, so we should put him to sleep properly.

Adonis: Yeah, I'll carry him to his futon.

Hokuto: ...Hm. It'd be bad if we can't get up tomorrow morning. We should go to sleep, too.

Subaru: Ehh~ I still want to talk with everyone! Let's talk some more~, okay? It's fine, right?

Hokuto: Don't cling to me. You've been yawning for a while now, aren't you actually pretty tired? You don't need to force yourself to stay awake.

Subaru: But if I go to sleep, the fun times will be over... Uu~ I don't want to sleep.

Makoto: Akehoshi-kun, you always go to bed early because you wake up early in the morning to take your dog for a walk, right?
Makoto: I often stay up until this time, so I'm not that sleepy, but I do worry about whether I'll be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

Natsume: .............

Subaru: Hm? Natsume, what are you sneaking around for? Need to go to the toilet? I'll go with you if you want?

Natsume: I'm not a chiLD, so I'm fine on my oWN.

Subaru: Hmm... ....Hey, Natsume! Now that I look carefully, I can see you're carrying your futon! Do you plan on sleeping in the secret room~?

Natsume: I've went along with you all this tiME, so I should at least be allowed to choose where I sleep freeLY.

Subaru: No way, you'll sleep here with us! I'm glad I put my futon close to the door so I'd be able to tell if Natsume tries to sneak away~♪

Natsume: Yeah, yeAH. You seem like you have a bad sleeping postuRE, so I didn't really want to sleep next to you, thouGH... If you kick me in your sleEP, I'll curse yOU.

Subaru: Hmm~, who knows. I think it'll be fine, but if I do kick you, I'm sorry! I apologize in advance!

Hokuto: Everyone, I'm turning off the lights.

Subaru: Wah, wait, wait! Everyone, good night~! Have sweet dreams....☆

- The next morning -

Makoto: Munya, munya... ♪

Subaru: Ukki~! It's morning, wake up~!

Makoto: Uwagh!? Eh, why is Akehoshi-kun in my room? I'm not wearing my glasses so I can't see, but you're Akehoshi-kun, right?

Subaru: Ahaha, Ukki~, you're still half asleep~♪ Go and wash your face. I also always wash my face first thing in the morning ☆

Makoto: Y yeah. ...Ah, it's all coming back to me... That's right, we all stayed over at the school, didn't we?

Souma: Good morning, everyone. The preparations for our breakfast are done, so come to the dining hall once you've gotten changed.
Souma: By the way, we have dried mackerel with mustard spinach and miso soup with tofu.

Subaru: Uwah, that makes my mouth water! Actually, I've been wondering, why's Anzu here?

Souma: Yes, well. Anzu-dono was worried about us, so she took the first train to school in the morning. She also helped me prepare breakfast, so I'm grateful to her.

Subaru: I see, I see. We couldn't have a sleepover together, but we'll get to eat breakfast together! I'm so happy~♪

Natsume: Good morning......♪
Natsume: You're stupidly lively first thing in the morniNG. It'd be rude to the little kitten and Souma-kun if we let our breakfast get coLD, so let's get changed and put away the futoNS.

Hokuto: Akehoshi, don't start taking your clothes off in front of Anzu.

Subaru: Ah, right. Sorry! Anzu, can you wait outside while we get changed?

Souma: In that case, me and Anzu-dono will go ahead and wait in the dining hall.

Subaru: Alright, we'll meet up in the dining hall then! I'll hurry, so don't start eating without me. It's a promise~♪
