Ryugi
Wait, are you serious?
Sumino’s on a date?
With Hoeru?
Kinjiro
Yes, from what I overheard
They went into that cafe on the other side of town
Rikuo
I don’t believe it
Why him?
Why didn’t she go on a date with me?
Mashiro
I can think of a few reasons…
Rikuo
Shut it Kumade!
Anyway
There is only way to clarify about this
Kinjiro
Please tell me it doesn’t involve spying…
Kinjiro
Are you guys sure this is a good idea?
I’m pretty certain we'll get spotted
Rikuo
Calm down Kinjiro
No way can they find us here
Now let’s see if we can find their table from this angle...
Kinjiro
I have a bad feeling about this…
Hoeru
…You guys suck at hiding
I can tell you’re all spying on us
Mashiro
No we’re not, Niidame!
You saw nothing
Hoeru
You all have distinct smells
Which I can pick up right now
Get out right now or I’ll go Wild Gozyu Wolf on all of you
Mashiro
ABORT! ABORT!
Rikuo
Damnit, I thought we had this covered
Kinjiro
Knew this wouldn’t work
Sumino
I can’t believe you guys were spying on me and Hoeru
Rikuo
Can’t help it
We don’t see why you chose him of all people
Sumino
For the love of…
I was in the middle of undercover work and you idiots nearly blew it!
Ryugi
Wait, what?
You were working a case?
Sumino
A woman hired me to get proof that her husband is cheating on her
I’m supposed to spy on the guy seeing his mistress at the cafe
But the cafe is couples only today
So I needed a fake date to blend in and not raise suspicions
Rikuo
So it wasn’t really a date
But that doesn’t answer my question from earlier
Why did you pick Hoeru to go with you?
Why not any of us?
Sumino
No offense, but you guys are bad choices
I’m still mad at you for not telling me about Rei and his connection to Oto
Rikuo
…Okay, fair enough
Sumino
Kin-jii’s technically old which makes it feel awkward
Kinjiro
I would feel awkward too
Sumino
I’d probably need to pay a fine if I asked Mashiro
Mashiro
I wouldn’t make you pay much for time with me
Sumino
And I don’t even need to explain why I don’t want Ryugi
Hoeru’s basically the only good option
Ryugi
…That’s just plain rude
Kinjiro
Um, Sumipoyo, are you mad at me?
Sumino
No I’m not
I’m just mad at Rikuo and Mashiro
I know you and Ryugi were dragged into it
Kinjiro
Oh, that’s a relief
I did not want to be on your bad side
Sumino
Kin-jii, can I tell you… something important?
Kinjiro
Sure
Sumino
I wanted to use the date as an excuse to try and ask Hoeru out
Kinjiro
So you do really like him, then?
Sumino
Yes
But Hoeru seems to be oblivious to flirting
He kept ignoring me anytime I try to make conversation
It was like talking to a wall
What’s wrong with me?
Do you think he’s not straight or something?
Kinjiro
If he was, he would’ve responded to Kuma-tan and Chanriku’s flirting much sooner
To be honest, I think it’s something else
I was talking with Hoerucchi about what happened earlier
And he told me he was lucky you chose him for your fake date
Said you wouldn’t actually ask out a guy like him for real in the first place
He thinks he’s way out of your league
Sumino
I am not!
Where the heck did that come from?
Kinjiro
Not sure, but I think you should talk to him and say your feelings straight to his face
Sumino
You sure?
Kinjiro
I was married before, remember?
I know how this love thing works
Well, most of the time
Hoeru
…Are you serious, Sumino?
You actually want to go out with me?
Sumino
Yes, I am
What made you think that I’m not serious?
Hoeru
I can’t hold down a job
I’m pretty much broke
And don’t me get started on my brother issues
I mean, what do you see in me?
Sumino
…You never gave up on Rikuo even when he tried to leave the team
You had faith in Kin-jii when we were captured by Trump No-One when no one else did
You helped me be able to transform
And that’s just from the top of my head
I don’t care about your financial or family problems
I like you for who you are
Hoeru
…Really?
Sumino
Really
Hoeru
…Can I visit you right now?
Sumino
Sorry I had to leave before you woke up
But my client called
Had more work to be done
Left breakfast on the kitchen table, by the way
Hoeru
It’s fine
Thanks for the food
So…
Was I… good last night?
Sumino
You were great last night
For a beginner, I am fully satisfied
Hoeru
…Thanks
It was only because you were there to guide me
Sumino
(˘˘ ♡)
Kinjiro
Um, Sumipoyo
I don’t mean to be rude but…
I can see bite marks on your neck
Sumino
Eh?!
Knew I should’ve grabbed a scarf
Kinjiro
I’m guessing things worked out with you and Hoerucchi
Sumino
They did
Kinjiro
…Did you use protection?
Sumino
Yes we did
I’m not stupid
Kinjiro
I just like to remind people
Anyway
Have you seen Ryutega, Chanriku, and Kuma-tan?
I haven’t seen them all day
Sumino
Wait, Hoeru told me he had the perfect punishment for Rikuo and Mashiro
I wonder if it has anything to do with this…
Mashiro
Can’t believe you chose to sleep with Sumino instead of me, Niidame
Hoeru
Oi, shut up
As if I’d want to go out with someone who keeps giving me receipts
Besides I thought you would be more focused on Rikuo
Rikuo
What are you talking about, Hoeru?
Me and Mashiro are not an item!
Hoeru
I already know you did it in the cafe kitchen the other day
You two smelt of sex and food
Rikuo
Okay fine we are an item
Happy?
Just please don’t tell Ryugi, he’ll kill us if he knows we did it there
Hoeru
Too late
Already told him as revenge for you two spying on me and Sumino
Mashiro
You what?!
Ryugi
HOW DARE YOU TWO DO SUCH INAPPROPRIATE ACTS IN THE SACRED GROUND OF TEGASWORD?!
YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SINS!
Hoeru
So aren’t you gonna save Rikuo and Mashiro?
Kinjiro
I should, but given Ryutega would also try to kill me for interfering, I think I’ll just watch him chase them down with you guys
Hoeru
Sumino, grab more popcorn before you get the camera started!
Sumino
On it!
