”Is it alright to come in?”

Shyly opening the biscuit door was Hosokawa Kanako-chan

”Ah The troublesoain”

Yoshi+no-san whispered, and Yumi silenced her with an elbow

”I have a request for Takeshi+ma Tsutako-sama … ”

Kanako-chan looked around the room on the second floor of the Rose Mansion and s for She earing the basketball club's uniforle ponytail Like Katsura-san before her, her appearance gave the impression that she had cos went on for so long that it h they were both girls

”You're really popular today, huh”

Tsutako-san responded to this light banter with, ”That's no joke,” and stood up and walked over to Kanako-chan It looked as though she knehat Kanako-chan had come here for

”I've heard all about it from the basketball club president Sorry, was it supposed to be today?”

”Ahh, no Not exactly”

Kanako-chan raised both her hands up to shoulder-height and shook them back and forth

”The tennis club's - ”

”Katsura-san?”

”Yes, her I ran into her when I was leaving the clubhouse”

Yuht back and said, ”Huh?”

”Hey Why do you think Katsura-san came here in the first place?”

”Well, that's because she wanted Tsutako-san to take photos for the tennis club, right?”

As she summarized the conversation that took place before she arrived, Yoshi+no-san looked at Yu this now?”
