Daikoku
(...No good. I can't concentrate at all. I've been absent minded all day...)

Daikoku
(It's all because I heard my Lord's story.)

Daikoku
(Losing someone important...)

Daikoku
(I've always been alone...I've never experienced losing someone-)

Classmate A
Panda-chan, yesterday's video post was fun.

Classmate B
Wow, Chisa-chan made another new fish print.

Daikoku
(...How noisy! While I'm seriously troubled about something!)

Daikoku
(Really, they're so annoying...! If only they would just disappear, I'd feel relieved-)

Hatsumi
But...she, Futaba disappeared from in front of me. While I didn't know...

Hatsumi
...When she disappeared from before my eyes, it felt like the ground I was standing on had vanished.

Daikoku
(-Because they're annoying.)

Daikoku
(-if they disappeared.)

Daikoku
(I'd feel relieved-)

Daikoku
.........

Classmate
Um...Daikoku-san?

Daikoku
!?

Classmate
It's time to move to the next classroom.

Daikoku
I-I know that.

Classmate
...Weird.

Daikoku
...Haah.

Daikoku
(I messed up...oh, how embarrassing... It's all Panda and Sasuga's fault...!)

Nikako, Iruru, Shigure
.........

Iruru
She seems to be having an off day today.

Shigure
Did she eat something weird?

Nikako
Hmm, I'm worried! I'm going to ask her!

Shigure
Aha, sounds interesting~. Shigure will go along too.

Iruru
Ah!

Iruru
...When it comes to this, there's no helping it.

Nikako
Da-chan...what's wrong? You've been acting strange since earlier?

Shigure
You're groaning and moaning, it's noisy? If you're feeling sick, could you rest over there?

Iruru
I don't know what happened, but today's a self practice day. If you're feeling rough, you don't have to push yourself.

Daikoku
Ah...um...it's not that...

Shigure
Then what is it? Are you unmotivated because Hatsumi-san is late?

Nikako
She said she'd be a little late because she has something to discuss with Tetra-san. Since she said "a little," she should be here soon, right?

Daikoku
I-it's not that either...!

Nikako
Really? You're not pushing yourself?

Daikoku
I-it's true...it's not that I'm pushing myself...

Iruru
Well, if you don't want to say, you don't have to force yourself. That happens sometimes too.

Daikoku
Actually, um...something a little embarrassing happened at school... When I remembered it, I couldn't bring myself to say anything...

Iruru
Ah, that's what it is. Like reminiscing and cringing? That's pretty common.

Nikako
I get it! I let out a big sneeze during class the other day... Even thinking about it now makes my face turn red...

Daikoku
That sounds rough...

Nikako
Right!? And it was during a moment when the classroom was completely silent...

Shigure
Haah~. Everyone's worrying about such trivial things! I worried for nothing.

Shigure
It's because you don't have confidence in yourselves that you get embarrassed over such tiny things. Shigure doesn't have anything like that at all!

Daikoku
Hmph...a brat wouldn't understand the feeling of embarrassment.

Shigure
That can't be true!?

Iruru
Daikoku, don't be so cold. Shigure was worried about you too.

Shigure
H-huh!?

Iruru
Because you said it yourself, right? "I worried for nothing."

Nikako
Oh, that's right!

Shigure
Th-that was...just a little slip of the tongue!

Daikoku
I'll retract what I said earlier...even brats can feel embarrassed properly...

Shigure
Grr...! That's still not satisfying!

Iruru
Well, you seem okay, so let's take a little break and then resume. Daikoku, didn't talking to everyone cheer you up?

Daikoku
Eh...?

Shigure
It was just a trivial, boring story though!

Nikako
But I'm relieved that Da-chan talked to us. I'll go get some drinks.

Daikoku
(...To have people you can talk about such trivial things with.)

Daikoku
(To suddenly lose someone like that...never being able to talk again, laugh again. Your heart...unsettled...)

Daikoku
(My Lord experienced something like that...)

Daikoku
Ugh...uuu...

Shigure
Huh!? Daikoku-senpai, aren't you crying!?

Iruru
What's wrong, what's wrong!? Is there something troubling you after all?

Nikako
Da-chan, you don't have to hold back, it's okay to talk. We'll listen as much as you need.

Daikoku
Uuu... S-sorry...I didn't intend to cry...

Daikoku
When I thought about everyone...about important people disappearing...I got really scared...

Nikako
Yeah...

Daikoku
My Lord must have felt this sad, scared, and painful... When I thought about that, I couldn't hold back...

Iruru
...Ah, I see. You were thinking about Futaba-chan.

Daikoku
Yes...

Shigure
That's not something for Daikoku-senpai to worry about, I think?

Daikoku
I know that...

Daikoku
To empathise and worry on my own...might be like mocking my Lord's feelings...

Daikoku
But...now that I know the sadness...I want to be there for her and comfort her...!

Nikako
Da-chan...Ren-san is that important to you.

Shigure
But to worry yourself this much... Well, it's just like Daikoku-senpai though...

Daikoku
Shut up...
