“Yes, Hinamori-san?”
“Um... well...”
“Yes?”
“T-t-thanks for asking me out on this walk...”
“Ah, no problem, Hinamori-san. Thank you for agreeing to come with me.”
“W-w-well... I... that is... it’s not like I had anything better to do anyways... oi, Tadase-kun, why are you laughing at me?”
“N... nothing, Hinamori-san. I just thought that kind of response was expected from you.”
“W-what’s that supposed to mean?”
“Ah... it means that... I... expected that response?”
“Oh...”
“It doesn’t mean anything bad!”
“Really?”
“No! I... like that side of you.”
“...”
“What’s wrong, Hinamori-san? Your face is all red. Are you getting sunburned?”
“No!”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“Ah, no, it’s okay. My fault.”
“Are you sure you’re okay? We can walk under the shade for awhile if you want...”
“Um... that’s okay, I guess...”
“Ah, look, look Hinamori-san! It’s a bluebird!”
“Aw! It’s so pretty!”
“Y-yeah... pretty...”
“What’s wrong, Tadase-kun? You’re staring at me funny...”
“N-nothing!”“
”O-okay... hey, Tadase-kun?”
“Yes, Hinamori-san?”
“Why did you ask me to come with you anyway?”
“Oh... well... you see... I have something to tell you, Hinamori-san.”
“S-s-something to tell me? W-w-what is it?”
“Well... that is...”
“Oh, my, look what we have here...”
“Tsukiyomi Ikuto!”
“Ikuto? What are you doing here?”
“Me? I’m just strolling along... what are you two doing here?”
“Well... we... that is...”
“None of your business.”
“What, is the Kiddy King trying to find a Kiddy Queen? Well... your choice is interesting, to say the least...”
“Stop touching Hinamori-san’s hair!”
“Oooh? Jealous, are you?”
“You’re bothering her!”
“I don’t think she minds, do you, Amu?”
“I... I... I...”
“Quit it!”
“Oooh, feisty, eh, Kiddy King? Grabbing Amu by the shoulders like that... my, children are so bold these days.”
“I’m just protecting her from you!”
“Oh? Protecting her? But I’m so much closer to her than you.”
“Don’t be an idiot! I see Hinamori-san every day!”
“And yet you still call her Hinamori-san, hmm? Well, Amu doesn’t mind when I call her by her given name, do you, Amu-chan?”
“I... well...”
“Don’t answer him, Hinamori-san.”
“Ooh? Come now, Kiddy King, that’s not fair.”
“Oi! Let Hinamori-san go!”
“Why should I, Kiddy King? You’re the one not letting her talk... plus, I think Amu prefers to be with me, don’t you, Amu?”
“Oi! Ikuto! What do you think you’re doing!”
“Don’t like it?”
“I...”
“Oi, ,Tsukiyomi Ikuto! Stop touching Hinamori-san’s face!”
“Jealous?”
“I’m... I...”
“I’m sure Amu here wants to know... don’t you, Amu?”
“Well... um... Tadase-kun... you can... no, it’s fine! You don’t have to say anything!”
“Hinamori-san?”
“Ah, does that mean you prefer me, Amu?”
“E-eh! Who do you think you’re hugging like that, Ikuto-”
“Let her go!”
“I’m so much better than that little boy over there, Amu... don’t you prefer someone so much... taller?”
“I can grow!”
“Ah, but I’m already a man now... much better than some silly little child... one who wants to rule the world.”
“Why you-”
“But, let’s let Amu choose, shall we?”
“W-what?”
“Choose which one of us you prefer... the tiny Kiddy King, or me? Say it, and I’ll leave you two alone for now.”
“Well... um... you both are... wait, why do I have to make a choice!”
“I think we’re all interested in hearing... eh, Kiddy King?”
“I... I wouldn’t mind you telling Ikuto that you don’t like him, Hinamori-san.”
“Ooh? Not very honest, are you, Kiddy King?”
“Shut up! Hinamori-san, just say you don’t like him, so he’ll leave us alone.”
“So confident... well, Amu? Who do you like better?”
“I... I...”
“Who is it, Amu?”
“Say it so he’ll go away, Hinamori-san!”
“I... I... I don’t know!”
“... Hinamori-san?”
“... huh. She ran away. Didn’t see that coming.
“This is your fault.”
“I beg to differ, Kiddy King.””
