In the end, Kenta, the most senior, leads the group out, with Okabe and Ryohei right behind him.
"Try following us if you're serious," Okabe says.
"Just remember, we won't stop even if you faint in the middle of the road," Ryohei adds.
Those youngsters look reluctant to follow. A few of them mutter lowly, complaining that this wasn't in the script. Until Kobo opens the path, and the rest finally follow behind.
Tsutome however, lingers for a while, glancing at Ryoma's right hand. Sadly, he can't see anything as Ryoma keeps both hands inside the pocket of his sweater.
And that glance, there's no way Ryoma misses it. Once Tsutomu's eyes flick up, Ryoma glares with intimidation.
"What are you looking at?"
In that instant, Tsutome fakes his smiles, rubbing the back of his head while bowing a few times.
"I'm just curious if Ryoma-aniki not joining our roadwork?"
