In the sunset, Kiyono Lin, the next day's Mayi Asuka, and Ochazuke's Jiutiao Meijie.
During breakfast, Xiaoquan Aonai watched Akiko and Miyazaki Mieko and casually mentioned,
"It seems like it was around this time that we became friends, right?"
"Mhm—" Miyazaki Mieko displayed a reminiscent expression and finally nodded affirmatively, "Around this time, yes."
Akiko threw a mini sausage into her mouth, "Speaking of which, it was you Aonai who approached us first."
After saying that, she looked at Miyazaki Mieko,
"Mieko, do you remember what Aonai said to you back then?"
"Yes. She suddenly approached me and said, 'Mr. Miyazaki, let's go to Tokyo together in the future,' and then she brought me over to you, hugged us both, and said some silly thing like 'From today onwards, let's be best friends.'"
"Right, that really took me by surprise at the time!"
"After all, the three of us weren't familiar with each other back then."
