"It's a date."

"It's not a date."

"Yes, it is."

Yukari sighed as she frowned at the device in her hand, she was on a call with Megumi; talking about tonight's plan. "We're going out as friends, remember?" She reminded the redhead.

"A guy and A girl together, having fun, then they kiss. It's a date."

"But I said it was a date." Yukari frowned, before walking over to the mirror in her room.

"Well if you say it like that . . . It makes me feel nervous." Yukari blushed, glancing at her reflection in the mirror. 'Is this too simple? or am I overdressed?' She asked herself.

"Ah, hello! Thank you, Haiji-san. Sorry for burdening you." Megumi replied happily, she could feel Kiyose smile from the other side of the receiver for some reason.

"No, It's fine. I should be the one saying that." He replied, before turning his head to Yukari. "Are you going out with Kakeru? I saw him waiting outside."

"Y-yes. . . ?" Yukari answered nervously, thinking wildly. What if he doesn't allow it because of the Summer Training Incident? What if he doesn't like Kakeru? What if he will never allow Kakeru to marry her? what if-
