Classmates
Did you see Libea's MV? I did, I did! Yonaguni-san was in it! I'm playing it on infinite repeat! Me too! It was so cool, right!

Hikari
Good morning!

Classmates
Hikari-chan!!!

Hikari
Wah wah, what the heck!? What's wrong?

Classmates
We watched your MV, Hikari-chan! Actually we're huge Libea fans! If Yonaguni-san was a 'Rogue' too, you should've told us!

Hikari
You watched it!? Thank you very much!

Hikari
I couldn't say anything and was fidgeting the whole time. Plus I thought being in a collaboration with Libea-san might not fit my image.

Classmates
It was unexpected but cool! A chemical reaction! In Hikari-chan terms? Chemical bomber!

Hikari
Y-Yeah! An unexpected chemical reaction! Bomber!

Hikari
(I was anxious but everyone's praising me. Thank goodness...)

Hikari
(That's right. Ramo-san and the kouhai celebrated on the release day, and Koyomi-san and Lilja-san praised me during rehearsal too.)

Hikari
(Libea's staff and the MV director were happy too. So it's all good now. All's well that ends well...)

Hikari
(It should be, but...)

Xue
That was close, I made it in time.

Hikari
Oh, Xue...um, you're late. Even though you left the dorm before me.

Xue
I just had some business at my part time job. Geez, making me waste my steps in the morning...

Xue
More importantly, what were you all getting excited about? I could hear you from the hallway.

Hikari
Oh, um...

Classmates
Wang-san, did you see Yonaguni-san's MV too!? It's crazy, right! Do you know Libea? We want to hear Wang-san's thoughts!

Xue
Ah, that? Yeah yeah, I saw it. That's all I have to say about it.

Hikari
U-Um. Xue?

Xue
What?

Hikari
Um, so...I was wondering if you liked the MV-

Teacher
Alright everyone, let's start homeroom. Take your seats please.

Classmates
Sensei, did you see Yonaguni-san's MV too? We want to try dancing it in the inter-class competition.

Teacher
Let's talk about that after I take attendance.

Hikari
.........

Hikari
(I couldn't ask Xue again today...)

Hikari
(Even though it's thanks to Xue that I could decide to be in the MV, we haven't really talked much since then...)

Hikari
(During that battle too, and before that. Because Xue slapped my back with those disses, I could get serious.)

Xue
-I'm disappointed in you. Even though you grabbed a chance, you keep moping about it forever. It's irritating to watch.

Hikari
(...Dissing is common on the streets. Any dancer or rapper, they clash with each other.)

Hikari
(So Xue back then was just exaggerating a bit. It was just a lie, it should be, but...)

Hikari
Ugh...I came all the way to Xue's room because I wanted to talk. All I have to do is knock...

Hikari
(Was that diss really all a lie? If even a little bit was her true feelings...)

Hikari
No. I shouldn't worry about that. You can't diss without respect! It's not like Xue hates me!

Hikari
(But...)

Hikari
Gah! This bad restless feeling is swirling around! I just want to say thank you to Xue about the MV!

Hikari
I need to properly talk to Xue, convey it to her!

Hikari
All I have to do is knock on the door! But...

Hikari
This is just like before, I'm still being all wishy-washy!

Hikari
Xue will diss me again...

Hikari
...Maybe I should do it tomorrow. She might still be at work, and if she just got back she'd be tired...

Hikari
...Yeah. I'll definitely say it tomorrow. So-

Xue
What are you going to say? What are you doing in front of my room?
