Chapter 49:The Sunrise Festival - Prologue

Isanari and Fuutarou had made it back home in the dead of night. Expecting to see only Raiha, they were surprised to see that she had company from a repeat guest.

Fuutarou:"...Why're you in my house?"

Itsuki:"Ah."

Itsuki puts something behind her back as she sees Fuutarou. Fuutarou notices this.

Raiha:"Big bro, dad, welcome back. You guys are really late."

Isanari:"We were just having some boy's talk. Nice to see you visit, Itsuki-chan."

Itsuki:"I apologize for the intrusion, Father."

Fuutarou:"Don't apologize. Just leave."

Raiha:"Don't be so rude!"

Fuutarou:"So, what are you here for?"

Itsuki:"For this."

Itsuki pulls out an envelope.

Itsuki:"Yotsuba said she couldn't recall giving one to Uesugi-kun. This is an invitation to the school festival. Coupons for free or discounted services are included, so it's very handy to have."

Isanari:"Oh, now that's helpful, thanks!"

Raiha:"How could you forget something so important, big bro? Say thanks to Itsuki-chan."

Fuutarou:"...Thanks..."

Isanari:"We're looking forward to the school festival as well...By the way, Itsuki-chan, nothing weird happened?"

Itsuki:"Huh? Um...I can't think of anything..."

Fuutarou:"What are you going on about, pops?"

Isanari:"It's already dark out. A girl walking home alone would be worrisome. Hey, make sure you walk her back properly, Fuutarou."

Raiha:"Curry's ready!"

Itsuki:"I-I'll gladly have some!"

...

Fuutarou:"...Did we make you wait for a long time?"

itsuki:"Haha, it wasn't too bad...It was nice talking to Raiha-chan. Were you busy?"

Fuutarou:"Hm, I was just talking to my dad after I came back from..."

Itsuki:"Huh?"

Fuutarou:"After I came back from the aquarium."

Itsuki:"...I see, so Miku did ask you out."

Fuutarou:"H-How do you know that!?"

Itsuki:"Ah. Well, I asked Miku a couple days ago about her dream. She said that she was going to tell you what her choice was."

Fuutarou:"Her choice..."

Itsuki:"I just need to check the rest..."

Fuutarou:"Eh? Oh, that's right. Did you also want some help with homework or something?"

Itsuki:"What do you mean?"

Fuutarou:"You had a piece of paper with you. I assumed it was an assignment."

Itsuki:"Eh...Right...I guess I should be honest too."

Itsuki stops and takes out a piece of paper.

Itsuki:"...Well, I got my university exam prospect score..."

Fuutarou:"Oh, that's good. Nino's and...Miku's scores were great..."

Itsuki:"...Yeah. Well, I..."
