"Saizeriya? That's fine, senpai," replied Akane.

Maybe becoming a magical girl had made her slightly better at talking to people, which is the reason this had actually turned out somewhat well beyond all odds? After all, she'd made such a fool of herself that she never thought anything would remotely go well. But now she was going to have lunch with an uperclassmen.

Akane realized now that she had just stood there and thought to herself for several moments after agreeing to Saizeriya.

Almost immediately, her bag came open... and out tumbled Melody.

"Ow ow ow..." Rubbing her forehead, Akane slowly sat up... and her eyes fell on the fallen form of her fairy, in a very similar situation of rubbing her head and lamenting how much the fall had hurt.

Frantically, Akane grabbed Melody, who let out a yelp of surprise, and stuffed her back in her back(much to the fairy's consternation).

Katsura hadn't seen that... right? Right?
