The sun was bright and the sky was clear.

Nagisa and her friends decided to go out for the weekend. They invited Karma and Sasahara along, as well.

They also invited Nakano and Hitomi, but they had their own things to do. Nakano said she had to help out with the inn, even though she would much rather go out with her friends.

Hitomi is... well... She said she needed to finish a particular game today. She stayed up all night, so she felt the need to finish it.

Nagisa and the others were walking on the sidewalk.

"Can we go to a cafe?" Arisa gave the group a snicker. "I feel like eating that cookie dough cake!"

Sasahara looked at the shorter girl. "The first thing that pops into your mind is food?"

"Hm... Maybe we can go after we look at a few shops?" Chiyuki said, looking around.

"That's a good idea." Nagisa agreed. "What do you think, Karma?"

The red-head beside her answered. "Hm? I'm fine to go wherever."

Arisa pointed at a store, "Then, let's go to that shop over there!"

They went into some shops. The small group also went to a gaming shop and a manga store. They checked some things out before going out.

For some reason, Sasahara and Karma had a feeling they would be holding the girls' shopping bags. But Sasahara knows that Karma would likely talk it out cleverly so that he won't hold them. Well, except for maybe Nagisa's.

They went to an arcade and had some fun. Karma was basically having a showdown with Chiyuki. But in the end, he always had his sly ways to win.

"Ah! How did you do that!?" Chiyuki exclaimed, holding her controller.

Karma stuck his tongue out to her. "I have my methods."

Nagisa knows that the person he really wants to beat in games is the class idol, Kanzaki.

"Don't back down, Yuki-chan!" Arisa encouraged the glasses-wearing girl from behind.

Sasahara tried out a baseball game, much to his delight. "I think I might have a feel to this!"

After spending some time in the arcade, they went out again.

Seeing a particular store that had caught Arisa's interest, she called the group out. "Look! Aren't those cute?" She pointed at an outfit on display.

"Ah, you're right." Chiyuki said.

"Want to go in?" Sasahara asked.

Arisa nodded happily in response. "Yeah!"

As the group was walking to the store, Nagisa noticed someone nearby. She saw blonde hair. If it wasn't for the skirt and feminine figure, Nagisa would've thought that it was Yamaguchi.

"What's wrong, Nagisa?" Karma asked, noticing that Nagisa had her gaze on something else.

"It's Iyo-chan."

Arisa looked at where Nagisa pointed. "Ah, you're right. Iyo-chan!" She called.

Iyo noticed them and said, "Ah, it's the senpais!" She looked at Karma and waved, "Hello, Karma-senpai!"

"What are you doing here alone?" Chiyuki asked the girl.

"Iyo was just going out to go shopping. Coincidentally, you senpais found one of Iyo's favorite shop." The blonde girl explained. "If you like the clothes here, then you must have good fashion sense!" She pointed upwards.
