"Hey Ao-kun, can you give this to Kanade-san?" Ririka-chan asks me.
"Sure," I say.
She came all the way to Aruran's pizza place to give me an outfit to give to Kanade-san.
"Banchou made it for her!"
I look at the specially tailored kimono and nod. "It's cute!" I giggle.
"I have to go now..."
"Hold it, can you apologize to Aruran for threatening to shut down his pizza place at least?"
Ririka-chan glared at me.
"Why should I?"
"You're my girlfriend now, you know!"
Aruran glared at me dumbfoundedly, "Girlfriend? You're dating!?"
"Oh, did I not tell you?"
"No!"
*Why would I have to tell him?*
"I just didn't have the time to tell you!"
Aruran glared at me. "You didn't plan on telling me for some reason, correct?"
"Uhh..."
"Look, Ao-san, I don't particularly like Ririka, but I can't and won't complain. Dating her is your decision and yours alone. I can't be mad at you for loving someone—don't force her to apologize either."
"Hmph... a man speaking like that?" Ririka-chan laughed
"Are you picking a fight!?" Aruran asks
"No, but I've gained a little bit of respect for you... not a whole lot after all, you're a failure as a businessman, but still, I can't sit here and act like you aren't a good friend to Ao-kun. She's pretty stupid, so I have to thank you for taking care of her all this time."
"So irritating..."
"You're nothing more than a tired old man, so I wouldn't expect you to have manners. I'm surprised you have held your composure up until now. Well, you shouldn't take that tone with me since I'm about to pay for all your debt."
"Wait... you know about my debt!?"
*what debt?*
"Let me explain Ao-kun... so Aruran has been in debt because he's such an awful business man. I wasn't going to flat out close this place but I was going to raise supply prices higher than he could afford subsequently bankrupting him."
"That's... that is evil!"
"I'm a business woman you should be greatful I'm not doing this for you... this place is really inefficient cost wise so I should probably shut this place down anyway!"
"I don't waste money!" Aruran shouts
*Ririka-chan clears her throat*
"Explain the extra cheese pizza..."
"Well, people like cheese!"
"I know, but do you know how much it costs to keep supplying this place?"
Aruran was silent
"That's what I thought!"
"Ririka-chan I get it you don't have a lot of money to spare but please don't be rude!"
"The least you could do is support your girl Ao-kun..."
"I am supporting you! I can't play both sides!"
