Maybe having all of them being here was not such a good idea. After all, they weren't exactly a small group. Trying to blend in wasn't easy, while they were keeping tabs onto what Yogi was doing with this other girl.
"What are they talking about?" Erina asked. They were all hidden in the bushes, while the two they were eating an afternoon snack.
"Shh." Arata shushed her. He needed them to try and stay silent so that he could hear that conversation. "I'll try and listen, then relay what I get, all right." They nodded to his command.
"I'm so glad we get to see each other again." Yuki said.
"Yeah, how long has it been since the last time we saw each other? Six, seven years now?" So Yogi did know her, and apparently from a long time ago too. Arata would've figured that Akiba and Akaki were his only childhood friends, but he must've been wrong about that. "It's too bad that you had to move away." Yogi got up and cleaned up their mess. "Anyway, we should get going so you can see how much has changed since the last time you were here."
"They're moving now, what did they say?" He was asked.
"Well, they're going to see more stuff." He answered. "But more importantly, do either of you remember her? Apparently she used to live here." Arata directed this question towards Akiba and Akaki.
"I thought I knew all of Yogi's friends. I guess I must've missed her somehow." Akaki answered. Obviously, it wasn't like he spent ever hour with that boy. However, it would be strange if he was keeping this girl away from everyone.
"Yeah, he never really mentioned her." Judging from her tone, he could tell that she was a little upset that Yogi supposedly had another girl as a childhood friend. Even if it was more of the 'they separated when they were young' type.
"All right then." He was disappointed with the lack of answers, hopefully this endeavor will prove fruitful then. "We should follow them, but maybe keep ourselves separated."
They did what he said, following Erina's lead they stayed behind this couple. Even though they split up, Arata wasn't really confident in their hiding skills. To anyone, this was just going to look like some weird silly spying that a movie would show as a joke.
"What the hell are we even doing?" Arata asked Misao, who was sitting in front of him at a table about 20 meters from their targets. He would never call himself the stalker or spying type, but even he knew that most people would be aware of their presence.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I think we're blending in pretty well." She replied. Misei was sitting with them feeling concerned about being caught.
"What are you even talking about?" He did not think that this was going to work at all. "You got Akaki and Akiba walking over there with some stroller. Erina and Yuriko are hidden up in some random tree. Then you got us in these weird costumes."
They looked more like pop stars trying to remain inconspicuous. Big hats, with ridiculous sunglasses. If anything, they were garnering attention, instead of staying down low.
"Look, it's a good thing they walked by that store." Misao explained. "Besides, they clearly don't recognize us, or else they would've approached us by now."
"Or maybe, they think we've gone insane, and don't want to talk to us." He retorted.
"Either way, it's working." She concluded. "However, we have more pressing things to talk about."
"Right, you want me to listen in-"
"I mean about you." She cut in. "I don't understand you."
