Characters Involved: Anzu, Suzu Kuromori, Yako Konan, Chizuru Yakumo

Location: Rooftop
	“Wait~, Anzu-chan!” “Don’t go all by yourself suddenly~! I don’t have much stamina, so stairs are challenging…….Unyu!?” “Wh-What’s wrong? You suddenly stopped in your tracks…….?”
	“Hey hey, Chizuru? All in all, does this give off the image of ‘Heaven’ or ‘Hell’?” “Anyway, looks like the design direction is gonna change, for the coating and stuff, yeah~? The arrangement of accessories and stuff too~?” “It sure does sums up the word, ‘paradise,’ huh~?” “Well, no matter the day and age… Things like Heaven, utopias, Eden, et cetera, I tried looking it up, and it’s unexpectedly boring stuff.” “Every day, you eat nothing but fruit while singing Kumbaya next to a spring!” “It sounds suuuuper boring! Don’t you think so too?” “As I thought, Hell sounds more emocionante; the direction’s been decided, but it would’ve been nice, right♪”
	“Eh~? Chizuru heard some complicated stuff but can’t understand it, I gueeess♪”
	“Ah, is that so. I guess it was stupid of me to have you listen?”
	“Yako-chan isn’t stupiiid, Chizuru just has different smarts, I gueeess♪”
	“Hey, calling yourself by your own name makes you sound bratty so stop it.” “And that ‘I guess’ stuff, don’t be so vague, it’s pissing me off, assert yourself! Don’t be so fluffy, dammit!”
	“Eh~? But but, asserting yourself turns into fights. Doesn’t Yako-chan always gets into fights?” “‘I guess’ has a more gentle feeling! Everyone can get along, I gueeess~♪”
	“Aah geez, didn’t I say you’re pissing me off! The next time you say ‘I guess,’ you’ll get fined!” “The rate’s ‘1 I guess = 50 yen’, but there’s no complaining, okay?”
	“Nyufufu. Yako-chan only gets mad, huh? But your smile’s more cute, I gueeess♪”
	“This is way too much of a lost cause...…” “Hmm, someone? There’s someone there, right!?” “Oh? You guys are the ones I saw on the rooftop earlier, right~?” “That Class Rep called out your name, huh. You’re Anzu… or something?” “Don’t look so alarmed. I don’t think of class to the extent that Class Rep does. That chick’s suuuper ‘obstinate’?” “She shoves things down your throat, and each and every day she’s chasing me around, yeah?” “Aah, I remembered something, I super-remembered something. You’re in the same class right, the pair that’s always at the back of the classroom♪” “Hey hey! Is the rumor you guys are ‘dating’ true?”
	“Ehh? Umm! Of course Anzu-chan is my angel, but right now it’s a platonic relationship...”
	“Ah, I see. What the he~ck, you’re no fun?” “I mean, you guys don’t talk, what's the point in you taking oxygen into your lungs?” “You need to convert oxygen into a voice, just breathing is useless energy!”
	“Sorry, this is the opposite of a surprise, I guess?” “Yako-chan is a chatterbox, isn’t she? She was born with her mouth having a If-You-Don’t-Talk-You’ll-Die Disease~♪”
	“Ah? But isn’t talking loads better? Being human is having a high-order ‘language’ instead of just ‘barking,’ isn’t it?” “It’s a big mistake to not make use of the skills you were born with! Chizuru thinks the same, right?” “I’m ultra straightforward y’know, everyone should talk more!”
	“Yup yup, Yako-chan’s always straightforward, I guess~♪”
	“.......................”
	“Ah, she’s withdrawing~ Sorry sorry, I’ll start with an introduction?” “I’m also in the same class, you know, Chizuru Yakumo~♪” “I’m in the Drama Club. Ah,  Yako-chan’s also in the Drama Club though~?” “‘Cause I just worry about Chizuru,’ she said, so we joined together.” “Yako-chan, you know~, she’s nice once in a blue moon♪”
	“Aah enough, you’re irritating! Don’t talk about fluffy crap, none of that’s an introduction!” “Go ‘bark’ together, I’m really irritated!”
	“Yako-chan, you said ‘talk,’ then said ‘don’t talk’~♪”
	“SHADDUP!” “That aside, Anzu…...No honorific is fine, yeah?” “No honorifics, speaking casual, you got any problem with that?” “Inflating sentences with formal words and stuff’s just a stupid tradition,” “Hearing Class Rep’s ‘you know’ and all just bashes me in the head~!” “Well, whatever. That girl’s another matter, there’s something I want to hear so answer quickly!” “HEY YOU, BLACKY!”
	“B-Blacky…? Is that me; people call me Kuromori* but…?” *Suzu’s family name literally translates to ‘black forest’.
	“Ahahaa☆ Since your name’s got ‘black’ in it, it’s all good; ‘Kuro’ it is, then!” “It’s good if you can cut down the number of syllables, then your tongue won’t get tired, right Kuro?”
