Chapter 6:Our Relaxing Days Continue ②

Ichika:"You're starting to fall for that Takeda-san?"

Tsubaki:"D-Don't repeat it!"

Ichika began to think about the two in a romantic relationship. Would an eccentric man like Takeda fit with the far more normal Tsubaki? There's also Takeda's sudden change in mood, but he seems to have mellowed out once he went up against Fuutarou during those tests...

Ichika:"What's the harm?"

Tsubaki:"All right! I was thinking of asking him out once the tests are over. He's going to be a part of the rally race, so maybe I could even give him extra motivation."

Ichika:"The rally race, huh? Someone as popular as him taking part in it makes sense, I suppose."

Tsubaki:"So I was hoping to check out some clothes for the future date."

Ichika:"Ah, you're already thinking that far ahead. I guess I can help. Say, how did you fall for him?"

Tsubaki:"He's so cool and looks great!"

Ichika:"Heeeeeeeeh, I-Is that the reason...? Well, I guess to a normal person, it's far more plausible than falling for an unpopular bookworm."

Tsubaki:"Hm? What was that?"

Ichika:"Oh, nothing! But, thinking about it, I guess that bookworm could help in this case."

Ichika calls a number on her phone, soon the call is picked up.

Fuutarou:"What is it, Ichika?"

Ichika:"Oh, Fuutarou-kun, I was wondering if you could come hang out with me, I'm gonna need to pick some outfits."

Fuutarou:"No can do. I'm getting ready for the upcoming tests, and frankly, you should too."

Ichika:"Ah, come on, give me a break."

Fuutarou:"Either way, that's a no."

Ichika:"Aww, you'll hang out with Itsuki and Yotsuba, but not with little old me?"

Fuutarou:"Geh! W-well, I can at least stay on the phone. But, I was serious about studying."

Ichika:"I know you are. You've always been serious."

Fuutarou:"Why're you doing that anyway?"

Ichika:"I was just wondering some things about Takeda-san, and thought you might know. So, what type of dress do you think he would like?"

Fuutarou:"I don't know."

Ichika:"His favorite color?"

Fuutarou:"I don't know."

Ichika:His...favorite style?"

Fuutarou:"I don't know."

Ichika:[Ahhhh, Fuutarou-kun's kinda useless here, isn't he?]"W-Well, do you know anything about him?"

Fuutarou:"Hm, I know his dream is to go to space."

Tsubaki:"So I should wear an astronaut suit?"

Ichika:"I doubt that would work."

Fuutarou:"Who was that?"

Ichika:"Tsubaki-san. You know, she's in our grade."

Fuutarou:"...Y-Yeah, that's right."[Who?]"Anyway, Takeda doesn't seem like he'd be against something extravagant. He might not show it, but under all those sparkles, he's still a smart guy."

Ichika:"Yeah, I doubt he's as dense as a certain someone I know."

Fuutarou:"Hmph, don't mock me."
