Iroha: Today's the audition right? You won't be able to give your best performance on an empty stomach!

Iroha: Renjakuno-san, thank you for calling out and getting my sister to come out here.

Hatsumi: No need for such praise. It was a fun way to pass the time.

Koyomi: What did you talk about?

Hatsumi: "I love going to see Onee-chan's performances!" Stuff like that.

Hatsumi: Light-hearted stuff like that. No cause for concern.

Koyomi: It's not like I was concerned or anything......

Hatsumi: That child. Make sure you treasure her dearly.
