hungry as hell &. classes still aren't over; vision's blurry, head's hurtin', i won't make it to the end of the day . . .
tell everyone i loved that makoto still owes me, like, 1000 yen.
โ
โ
hah, โcourse you wouldnโt forget! hard to get rid of me &. my handsome face, what can i say?
( still as stubbornly annoying &. vain, so it goes. )
alright, donโt you worry โbout it!
โ
โ
alright, sir junpei iori. heh. sorry for teasing you earlierโฆ of course i know what your name is. it's the first name i've had to learn on my first day.
โฆ
a-and thanks for changing your mind on not flaking on me, i guess? ๐ง plus, the tartarus stuff. โ
โ
โ
isn't chiikawa, like, somethin' that's for girls?
not that i hate the idea or anything, ai - chan! just don't know if a manly guy like me should be into that stuff.
โ
โ
i mean, s'true! for the most part, anyway. tried seein' if one of the other guys could help with mopping duties, but a bunch of them just seem plain creepy. figured i'd do it myself.
. . . tartarus, i'm down for, though! say the word &. i'm there!
โ
โ
?!
woah. out of all theโ i mean, no comeback for the other three, huh?
โฆ
uhโฆ sure, i-i'll take that action. ๐ง wouldn't really be any fun if you're just watching me eat.
but i gotta say, junpeiโฆ there's still a lot i'm learning about you.
โ
โ
hmm. iii dunno about that.
for all you know, i couldddd be talking about another junpei iori of class 2-F at gekkoukan high.
y'know, the one who's gonna help me mop up the whoooole gym today. and treat me for ice cream. and visit that new store, and go to tartarus, and-
โ
โ
. . . i feel like you're pullin' my leg here, what the hell.
but, i DID hear you say junpei's your handsome friend, so there's some sense in there, as far as i can tell! *โจ
โ
โ
whaaaat? you're junpei?
hold on a sec. now that you say it, you look soooo familiar.
not as handsome as my best friend junpei, though. he's so manly and cool. i'd know right away. (pfft.)
โ
โ
( that rumble from her stomach was all he needed to know. )
heh, alright. no burgers, then! whaddya want? don't have too much cash on me, but i'm willin' to get us both somethin' good to eat, sounds good?

( he's dealt with biting winter &. the wrath of one enraged mitsuru kirijo, the coldness of chidori's words could do little to wound him โโ besides, she always had that same old habit of saying one thing but meaning another, much like she is now. )
