You already do so much for me. How could I ever ask you to do more? Just continue being my friend, Hibiki-kun. That is really all I ask of you.

[Look, there is a time to roast Akira and there is a time to pay attention to nice and pure friendships like they have. Right now is friendship time. Haru might be giggling at Hibiki's blushing though. It's cute.]

[secrowtary]

I can do that.

[ It's more like he wants to do that, but what is expressing his true feelings. One day he might learn how to do it, though. ]

No, I will do that.

[ The blush is getting brighter with every second, even after he finally gets back on his feet only to sit beside her. ]

You should have scolded me for doing something so embarrassing.

[mapsio]

What are you talking about? That wasn't embarrassing!

[Haru thought it was rather touching.]

I like it when you're more honest with how you feel, you know.

[secrowtary]

[ That's most certainly the way to go if you want to make him blush even more, Haru. ]

I suppose I can try doing that once in a while. [ He's never been so thankful for this ridiculous poncho thing that's a part of his uniform which Hibiki now uses to cover his face. ] Or maybe more often than once in a while.

[mapsio]

Hibiki-kun, you are definitely blushing right now.

[She is teasing him, but just lightly.]

[secrowtary]

You're seeing things, Haru-san. I never blush.

[ Things as in he's totally blushing. It's high time he clears his throat, too. ]

But I think I understand the meaning of the flower fortune now.

[ What a subtle subject change. ]

[mapsio]

Oh, is that right? Tell me what you have figured out?

[Well, she's waiting to hear!]

[secrowtary]

It might sound pretty obvious...but I've just realized that you don't have to be devoted to just one person.

[ He never really gave it a thought before, but now it's clear. ]

[mapsio]

Oh? Well...I suppose you don't.

[She gives him a smile.]
