Tsubaki : Goodbye then Hiiro.

Haruna : Oh wow,who is the other one then?

Mika : I am not telling you.(laughing)

Haruna : (annoyed) fineee

After paying for the clothes they bought,both of them headed towards one of the café and as they were walking

Mika : (saw someone familiar)

Mika quickly halted to a stop as the woman walking from the opposite direction saw her.

Haruna : Mika? Whats wrong?

Tsubaki : (looking at Mika)

Haruna : (turning to Tsubaki)

Tsubaki was just a few steps infront of them and she saw Haruna and quickly bowed to her

Haruna : *bowing

Mika : ..

Tsubaki : We meet again Mika-san.

Mika : Unfortunately.
