"If he'd actually wanted more dudes, you'd be rainin' on Yamamoto's parade," was the powerfully-voiced third year's response. It seemed that he wasn't perturbed at all by Kimiko's jab at performance arts; after all, he wasn't one of those on stage in the first place, and an attack on its merits wasn't too big of a deal to him. Hayate was, however, discovering that his classmate was a surprisingly passive-aggressive person to talk to. Go figure.

"Everybody's still not agreed on a play," he continued. If she wanted to help out with that, it might help shorten the time needed to deal with Yamamoto being all over his and everyone's asses. "Stop by and maybe you'd get some say or whatever."

It was like "market research" or something.
