Blushing in embarrassment, Akane took her upperclassmen's hand and allowed herself to be pulled up to her feet, fidgeting as she did. It looked like Katsura-senpai hadn't seen anything, thankfully... Akane tried to avoid letting out an audible sigh of relief. If she'd become a magical girl only to reveal herself the first day on the job... that was just too much! That was too big of a mistake, a huge screwup just after she finally got to achieve one of her biggest fantasies. Inwardly, some part of her believed that screwing up like that was inevitable, but she tried to brush that thought off.

"Ah-hahah, I guess I am..." Akane let out an awkward laugh, reaching back and nervously rubbing the back of her head as she did. Just because she was happy she managed to hide Melody didn't mean that she felt great about falling flat on her face right in front of an upperclassmen. That was embarrassing no matter what the circumstances were.

"Um..." she hesitated a moment, trying to choke back her embarrassment, "L... lead the way, senpai!"
