Tugging on Ollie's left arm, Hiyoko glared around him over at Ibuki, "Excuse you! Just because you're a nice singer doesn't mean you're getting him! Ollie promised to help me with my traditional dancing!"

The musician, who was holding his right arm, tugged Ollie over closer to herself. "Ibuki was told that Ollie was going to have a jam session with her!"

"Lay off colorful hair, I get to have him!" Hiyoko yelled.

Ibuki and Hiyoko hardly liked each other, and that was saying something for Ibuki. She was usually carefree and happy but for Hiyoko to get under her skin, that says a lot. They usually kept to themselves, that was until Hiyoko opened her mouth and said something. But it seemed like spending time with Ollie was this important to them. As they continued to argue about who would get him, Ollie sighed quietly to himself as he pulled away his arms away from the two, walking ahead.

"Listen, you two are driving me absolutely insane." He said, rubbing his wrist as he sighed again. 

"Well, duh!" Hiyoko said, "Isn't that a girlfriend's job?"

"You're not my girlfriend shortie." Ollie replied.

"Hmph. Well, Ibuki can reschedule." Ibuki said with a small pout on her face, "Besides, Ibuki knows that you're going to be spending time with a certain gamer!" And suddenly, the pout was gone. 

Ollie blushed faintly as Hiyoko grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him down to her height, "H-Hey! Easy!" 

"You're going to hang out with her?!" Hiyoko yelled before letting go, sighing softly, "Fine. Fine. Although it should be my turn!" 

"Ibuki wishes you luck on your date." Ibuki said with a giggle.

"It's not a date!" Ollie said as he stomped his foot, "We're just hanging out at a ramen shop. That's not a big deal."

"Hey Ollie."

A soft voice rung out as the three turned around to see the girl of honor, Chiaki was standing there as she stared at her game girl instead of meeting their gaze.

Ollie sighed, "I'll see you guys later. I'm sorry I promised you both something but I swear I'll make it up to you. Please, just give me this one day off."

Hiyoko looked over at Chiaki, seeing her game while waiting for the blue haired boy, sighing as she looked at him. "I guess if it means spending time with you, then I'll let you go hang out with gamer girl. I suppose big sis Mahiru is free to hang out with me."

"OOOOOkay!" Ibuki yelled while saluting, "Let's jam real soon though!" She said cheerfully.

Ollie ruffled Hiyoko's blonde hair and gave Ibuki a high five before turning around to walk off with Chiaki. For once, he was glad that Chiaki had not fallen asleep and come to his rescue. Hanging around those two is truly exhausting.

While being seated in a booth, Ollie and Chiaki had ordered their ramen and were now waiting for it to arrive. Ollie was confused as to why Chiaki had decided to sit by him instead of across, that was the whole point of a booth wasn't it? Naturally, he was watching her play Gala Omega while occasionally grabbing food from the revolving sushi bar. As he ate a sushi roll, he felt a weight against his shoulder, seeing Chiaki resting her head as she gamed.

Raising an eyebrow as he ate, Ollie finished off a roll before turning to see the server return with a bowl of Miso ramen. His eyes practically lit up as the bowl was placed in front of him, grabbing the chopsticks almost immediately. "Hey sleepyhead, food's here." 

Chiaki blinked a few times as she stared at the bowl, looking up at Ollie as he slurped up some noodles, setting her game girl down before she took the other pair of chopsticks and took some noodles for herself. The two ate silently for a moment before speaking, "This is pretty good."
