3rd POV

Yap: (Awkwardly laughs) Heheh.. Noted, miss Orimura.

As both Yap and Chifuyu made their way back to the office, Yap couldn't help but feel rather relived now that the meeting was over. Grateful for the opportunity to rest and recharge, Yap takes his PA seat beside Chifuyu's and lets out a sigh.

Chifuyu: We did a good job today during the meeting earlier, Yap. I'm proud of you.

Yap: (Tiredly gives Chifuyu a smile) Thank you, Miss Orimura. I couldn't have done it without your guidance and support.

Chifuyu: (Chuckles a little) Feeling the tiredness already?

Yap: Mmn. 

Chifuyu: Alright. Then rest for now. I'll call you in 20 minutes.

Yap: Thanks, Miss Orimura.

After looking over some paperworks and making final arrangements for the day, Chifuyu takes out a package and handed it to Yap.

Chifuyu: In case you weren't aware, I've already finished the enrollment process for you.

Yap: (Shocked) Y-you did? (Hugs Chifuyu) Thanks, miss Orimura. (Smiles brightly at her)

Chifuyu: [STOP BEING SO ADORABLE! I CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH FROM YOU!] (Chuckles) No need to mention it. Now, let's head home, shall we?

Yap: (Nods) Mmn.

Leaving the office and grabbing the packages of clothing that was Yap's and Ichika's, Yap and Chifuyu both got ready to head home. On the way back, Yap had some thoughts going through his head.

Yap: [The students will definitely overreact once they catch news of this fact. I'll try to not attract too much attention to myself if necessary. Still.. if they want to be friends.. I suppose that is fine? SoVR, are you there?]

SoVR: Yes, that I am. What do you need me for?

Yap: [In case things go wrong, I want you to keep a video recording.]

SoVR: Of?

Yap: [Like I said, I would try to make friends. But should they have malicious intent that I somehow don't manage to pick on, spring into action immediately, if you could.]

SoVR: Ah. Of course. Not a problem.

After SoVR has said that, there was a news report on the radio.

News Anchor: (Clears throat) Ahem, we're extremely sorry to disturb your fine evening, ladies and gentlemen. However, in a shocking turn of events, Ichika Orimura has become the first male IS pilot in history. This comes after he was recently discovered to have the ability to operate an IS, which was previously thought to be a female-only skill.

Yap: .... Ichika? Being the first male IS pilot, and recognized at that? Well... This is...

Chifuyu: (Still has her eyes on the road) Unexpected? What, you want that position?

Yap: Of course not. In fact, I'd rather not. Still, isn't Ichika just a novice?

Chifuyu: (Sighs) Unfortunately.

When they reached home, Chifuyu simply throws Ichika's uniform for IS Academy at him, the package hitting him directly in the face. Grabbing the package and looking at it, Ichika only wonders.

Ichika: What's this?

Chifuyu: It's your uniform.

Ichika: (Surprised) Chifuyu-nee?! You're back?! And Yap too!

Yap: (Nods) Good to be back.

Chifuyu: This is my house, of course I'm coming back. (Casually grabs a can of beer from the fridge)
