Suzume's greatest crisis.

Suz: Mebu! I came again!

Shi: It's Kagajou.

Yum: Welcome.

Suz: Huh? Did I mix the rooms up? This is Mebu's room, right?

Yum: It certainly is.

Shi: Kusunoki's still at the meeting.

Suz: Okay. I'll just wait here then.

Yum: Alfred! A spot of tea for our guest... Oh my, I forgot he was on a leave.

Shi: The usual.

Suz: Going with your trademark gag, eh.

Yum: I would appreciate not being treated as a stale comedian.

Suz: Heh. I've thought of a new gag recently too. And Sensei...

Aki: Pfft... Well, that wasn't bad.

Suz: Even praised me for it! Wanna see it?

Yum: You showed your comedy routine to our teacher?

Suz: She's been coming to waking me up lately, so I used the moment.

Shi: Aki-sensei really is kind... probably.

Suz: Alright, here I go! Ueeh, hup, hup hup! Your duty's been decided. Cleanup at the Taisha. That's got nothing to do with your Sentinel duties. That's got nothing to do with your Sentinel duties.

Suz: Snap?

Shi: That was a really bad sound just now...

Yum: Aah... Suzume-san... Look at your feet...

Suz: Aaaaaaagh! I stepped on Mebu's castle model!

SHI: Are you retarded or something!? You had me come out in shock!

Yum: Was it really necessary to perform something with so much movement?

Suz: I-I-I-I-It's broken! The top of the castle, it's broken!

Yum: Terrifying... What a terrifying predicament this is!

Suz: What have we done...

SHI: Who "we"!?

Yum: Do not drag us into this!

SHI: Go apologise to Kusunoki, there's no other way!

Suz: Wait... I'll try simulating it...

Meb: You broke my plastic model? Ah. I see. Then tell me what your most important thing is. I'll break it the same way.

Suz: Aah, I just saw a horrifying future ahead of me!

SHI: Oh come on, Kusunoki wouldn't do that. She'd let you off with being her sandbag.

Suz: I don't wanna get hurt!

Yum: Perhaps she could let you off the hook with simply not talking to you for a while?

Suz: Being ignored by Mebu is gonna kill me!

SHI: You don't want this, you don't want that. What are you even gonna do then?

Suz: M-Maybe I could repair this somehow... A drop of glue, and maybe she won't notice... Heh, heh heh, heheheh...

SHI: Uwaah...

Yum: I have never seen a smile so empty.

Aya: You can't do that!

Suz: Ayaya, were you listening?

Aya: Suzume-senpai, I think honestly apologising is the best choice here.

Suz: B-But...

Aya: I'll be with you...

Suz: Uu... Ayaya, will you hold my hand while I'm apologising to Mebu, then?

Aya: Okay! I'll hold it really tight!

SHI: Wow, Kagajou's amazing. Normally you'd try to atone at least a little.

Yum: She roped Kokudo-san in without a moment of hesitation.

SHI: But wait, you should probably find a good time to apologise first.

Yum: Mebuki-san looks somewhat angry in general, but it would be best not to add fuel to the fire when she's particularly enraged.

Suz: I've lived my life by carefully watching the others' expressions. It's time for my specialty: determine how she feels and finish it off with a spectacular prostration!

SHI: It's almost refreshing how thorough you are.

Aya: Mebuki-senpai spotted!

Suz: Let's see, Mebu's mood is... Hmm... Her anger's subsided but only for five more minutes, if I'm to apologise it has to be now!

Aya: Let's go then!

Suz: Y-Yeah. On a count of three.

Aya: Okay!

Suz: One... Twooooooo... One...

Aya: It's back to one!

Suz: I'm nervous now that we're doing this. Okay, this time for sure. O-Ooooooooone... Twooooo...

SHI: Agh! Get it over with already! Get going!

Meb: Hm? What's up, Suzume? Oh, Aya-chan's here too.

Suz: Mebu, you see... I, uh... Your plastic model...

Meb: Hm? What about my plastic model?

Aki: I'm sorry to interrupt. I'll just announce something. Kusunoki-san, please come to my room tomorrow morning.

Meb: Another one of your crazy tasks?

Suz: Eek! Her mood got worse!

Aki: You'll learn when time is due. Excuse me.

Meb: Jeez... So, what was it about my plastic model, Suzume?

Suz: Eh? Uh, well, you see...

Meb: ?

Aya: Suzume-senpai, I believe in you!

Suz: I'm sorry! I broke the top part of a castle model that was in your room, Mebu!

Meb: Eh!? cough

Suz: Me-Mebu!?

Aya: Mebuki-senpai, are you okay?

Meb: F-First of all, I need to confirm the situation.

Meb: Hm... Hmm...

Suz: gulp

Meb: Phew. I can repair this, no problem.

Suz: T-Thank goodness... Not that there's anything good here.

Meb: Aya-chan, good job playing along with Suzume. Jeez, when I saw you holding a junior's hand while apologising I couldn't even get angry at you.

Suz: T-Then!

Meb: Suzume, I'll let you off with a ban from my room for a while.

Suz: Whaaa...

Yum: Looks like today we all gathered in Mebuki-san's room again.

Aya: S-Suzume-senpai isn't here, though.

Meb: She's banned from here, that's how it is.

Shi: I brought a cake for everyone.

Meb: Let's have some, then.

Shi: How many plates?

Meb: Me, Aya-chan, Miroku-san and you. That makes four. Although... Make it five plates.

Suz: Ah! Mebuuu!

Yum: Were you standing in the hallway?

Suz: You forgave me, right!? That's why I love you, Mebu! I'll follow you forever!

Meb: No, the fifth plate is for SHIZUKU.

Suz: Whaaa...

Meb: I'm joking.

Suz: Mebu!

Meb: But now that I think about it, forgiving you too fast wouldn't be good either.

Suz: Whaaa...

Aya: They really get along well.

Shi: In a way, they're a perfect match.

Yum: Sheesh.

Meb: Guess I'll forgive you, though.

Suz: Mebu!

Meb: Wait, no.

Suz: Mebu...

Meb: Forgive-

Suz: Me-!

Meb: Won't forgive-

Suz: Bu!
