#kwko area conversations

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Scramble Crossing: Akari, Reishi [1]

🍁: (Oh no!.. Isn't that the person from the Orchestra?)

🍁: (I really don't wanna talk about the rehearsals or anything like that today...)

🍁: (Maybe if I look away he won't notice me...)

🌸: (...How interesting.)

🌸: (Am I so repulsive to you that you won't even look at me, Akari-kun?)

[shiraishi--kanade]

Ooh!! Suzuka sis??? Who else out of kwko has siblings then :0

Suzuka's sister has been hinted on in two area conversations! This and this one haha

Other than Karin and Suzuka, Kairi also has siblings. That's all I'm going to say on the matter for now!

Scramble Crossing: Maki, Karin, Suzuka [2]

🦋: Uugh...

🪁: *sigh*... What is it?

🦋: Is it bad that my back kinda hurts?~

🪁: What? What kind of hurt?

🦋: I don't really know! It just does- it's like, really sore, all the time!

🪁: Do you think it may be because you're still not used to carrying your violin case on your back?

🦋: ...You know what, it's probably that!

🦋: My dad used to drive me to lessons and stuff before, so I didn't really need to carry it a lot!

🦊: You used to live like that? Wimp.

🦋: Hey!..

Hakkei High School: Kairi, Akari [2]

🐚: Everyone, remember to wash and iron your winter uniforms soon, alright?

🐚: I decided to warn you ahead of time so Disciplinary Committee doesn't have to deal with more of the "sorry, I forgot" types this year, hehe.

🐚: Besides, it would be bad manners to burden the Health Committee if you get sick~

🐚: Hm? Tutoring? I don't see why not. How does Friday sound?

🍁: (Woah... We only had one joint class, but he's already a completely different person than his usual self.)

🍁: (He doesn't really talk like that with me and Fujisaki, either...)

🍁: (I can't really tell which of his personas is the real one. It's creeping me out.)

Scramble Crossing: Maki, Suzuka [1]

🪁: Ugh...

🦋: (She looks annoyed!..)

🦋: Suzuka-san, did I say something wrong?

🪁: What? No, not you...

🪁: I'm just waiting until the tourists over there are done taking their photos so we can cross.

🪁: They're causing traffic and also taking forever. Seriously, how clueless can you be? It's not like the road is gonna go anywhere...

🦋: ...

🦋: Well, I guess I kinda get it.

🦋: When you're only visiting for a moment, you kinda want to capture everything you see, right? And this street's pretty famous, so of course it's gonna attract people!

🦋: It's kinda rude to call them out for trying to enjoy their vacation, no?

🪁: (Huh... This is the first time I've heard Saitsu being so assertive. Sore spot?)

🪁: (Well, I guess she's right. This is just what having world's biggest intersection does to a city...)

Music Shop: Suzuka, Reishi [1]

🌸: Suzuka-kun? Well isn't this meeting a delight! I don't believe you're a frequent guest around this part.

🪁: That's right. I'm just picking up something for a friend.

🌸: ASRUN? How curious. I believe that group has disbanded recently, as well.

🪁: Yeah. That's unfortunate...

🌸: Oh? Were you a fan of them, by any chance?

🪁: Wh!- Of course not! Um, my friend used to like them a lot, so I don't want her to be sad...

🌸: I see. You can pass on my condolences to your friend, then.

🪁: Yeah, thanks. I mean, I will- ugh.

🪁: (No way in hell he believed me!)

🌸: (Suzuka-kun is an exceptionally bad liar, isn't she? Hehe.)

🌸: (Hiding one's music preferences, though... Ah, I can't say I don't relate to that.)

🌸: (This is probably not something I should tease her about, then.)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Music Shop: Maki, Karin [1]

🦊: That's certainly a lot of CDs you're carrying.

🦋: Hehe, I know right! I only wanted to spend a little, but when I see all of those cool musicians, I just can't stop myself!

🦋: Ah, but you aren't really buying anything... Is it because you don't like the kind of music they sell here?

🦊: Well, that's part of it, I guess.

🦋: Not even the classical recordings?!

🦊: No, that's... Nevermind. I guess I just prefer to buy my music online.

🦋: Eeh?! But doesn't it feel so much nicer to have something you can hold in your hands?

🦊: It does. It's just not the right kind of thing for me, that's all.

🦋: (She doesn't look happy saying that...)

🦋: (And that's not the first time I've seen her refuse to buy something material, too.)

🦋: (I remember being like that when we travelled a lot... What are you really thinking, Kozaki-san?..)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Music Shop: Maki, Reishi [1]

🦋: Oh, this singer is blending classical music with rap!

🌸: Oh? Well isn't that peculiar.

🦋: I've never heard anything like that before! Do you think it'd sound good?

🌸: Hehe. Who can tell? People are certainly giving classical a new spin recently. I think sampling classical music is as good of a creative choice as any. Although I think a certain redhead here might complain about it...

🦋: Ehe, yeah... She definitely would...

🦋🌸: (In that case, maybe I should get a copy...)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Scramble Crossing: Kairi, Reishi [1]

🌸: I'm not quite sure what I expected, but you're definitely not the person anyone would think is so hard to invite to spend time together, Kairi-kun.

🐚: What are you implying...

🌸: Hehe. I'm not saying anything more than, ah, you don't exactly look like a recluse.

🐚: I'm not a recluse. I just prefer to stay in my own house, is that a crime?

🌸: I regret to inform you this is exactly what being a recluse means.

🐚: You know what, whatever. Are we going to go to the mall or not?

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Scramble Crossing: Maki, Karin, Suzuka [1]

🦋: Kawaakari Orchestra string quartet rehearsal, here we go!

🦊: Nobody's going anywhere until we get a hold of Kaedehara.

🦊: I appreciate the enthusiasm, though.

🪁: You think she overslept again?

🦊: She'd better not. This is the third time this week. Some people really like testing my patience...

🪁: If she doesn't show up in ten minutes, I suggest we just move on without her. I'm not wasting my practice room with good acoustics time on someone who can't even set up an alarm.

🦋: (Oops, they're really pissed off today! Hurry up, Akari-chan!!..)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Conservatory Sekai: Maki, Kairi [1]

🦋: Eh? Where did all of those art supplies come from?..

🐚: Huh? Oh, that pen case is mine.

🦋: Ooh, I didn't know Kairi-san was an artist!

🐚: An artist?.. No, I'm not. I just use all of these for writing down notes. Since this place is comfortable, it became my study spot, so I moved them here.

🦋: All of these just for study notes, huh?

🦋: Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?..

🐚: (Excessive? She might be right, but...)

🐚: (How do I explain to someone like her that it's the only way to make some subjects less dreadfully boring?)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Conservatory Sekai: Miku, Len [1]

Miku: You're still having trouble with this passage, Len.

Len: I know. There's no need to rub it in my face...

Miku: Len...

Miku: (He takes everything I say too closely, just like his sister...)

Miku: (Neither of them will go far if they don't learn how to take criticism with grace.)

Miku: (Here's to hoping our guests can teach them both how to do just that...)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Conservatory Sekai: Akari [1]

🍁: ...

🍁: I think you can hear the river current below if you really focus.

🍁: But... It also might just be my imagination.

🍁: I'm not sure...

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Shopping Mall: Reishi, Suzuka [1]

🪁: I'm only here to buy a couple more pens, but I had no idea calligraphy ink was so expensive.

🌸: It sure is. The brushes aren't any cheaper either. It has a lot to do with the extensive and troublesome process of manufacture, so I'm not the one to complain.

🪁: Right. I've heard you did calligraphy before, didn't you?

🌸: Only for a short while. I still find it enjoyable, but the highly competitive environment and harsh instruction... Let's just say the atmosphere wasn't right for me.

🪁: And you decided to switch to classical music, of all things? I really don't understand you sometimes.

🌸: Hehe. Quite an enigma, am I not?

🌸: (I don't remember mentioning calligraphy to anyone other than Maki-kun, however. Is she that bad at keeping secrets? Tsk.)

🌸: (Well, good thing it was something silly like this that got out. I'll keep that in mind...)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Shopping Mall: Akari, Kairi [1]

🐚: A cat tree, huh...

🍁: (Oh! A cat tree...)

🐚: (No, it's no use... It's not like I can just put it on the street.)

🐚: (It'll just get dirty and wet like all of their beds...)

🍁: (Little Lady would probably love this, wouldn't she?..)

🍁: (But this one... Even if I could afford it, there's not enough space in the cafe...)

🍁: (I'm sorry, Little Lady.)

🐚🍁: Oh...

🐚: Good afternoon, Kaedehara.

🍁: G-good afternoon.

🐚🍁: ...

🐚🍁: (This is awkward...)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Hakkei High School: Akari [1]

🍁: Phew. That's the last of this week's assignments...

🍁: (I'm still not sure if it was the right choice, but...)

🍁: (Being in a special course is a lot easier than normal school.)

🍁: (...I'm just glad they found a way to keep me enrolled.)
