Butterfly Dream - Chapter 2 Next Chapter

(A few minutes later)

Izumi

*Thinking* OK, I get it. I can't say I'm convinced, but I'll play along for now

Izumi

A Freaky Friday switcheroo, huh? And how did this ridiculous situation come about?

Makoto

Well, that's why we brought ourselves here! So that we can explain the situation. But we didn't expect Sena-senpai to be here, too.

Makoto

We came here hoping to talk to Ritsu-senpai. He'd know what to do.

Ritsu

What, me? Well, I guess you could say I'm acquainted with the supernatural. After all, I'm a vampire in the flesh, after all.

Ritsu

Besides, I'm tired from all the Knights stuff we've been having to do since we went mainstream.

Ritsu

Secchan, you should help them out, too. It's not like we have anything better to do. We should take care of our precious juniors.

Izumi

What do you mean "have nothing better to do?" As you can see, I'm actually quite busy practicing on my own right now, thank you very much.

Izumi

But then again, putting Kasa-kun aside, I am concerned about Yu-kun. It'll be a waste of time if I nitpick over every little thing, right?

Izumi

Now, let's get to fixing this so it can be over and done with.

Izumi

So let me get this straight. You there, you're Kasa-kun?

Makoto

Yes. What is there to even get straight? All my movements and behavior screams out high-class.

Izumi

What? Isn't it normal to be a little suspicious? I mean anyone can pretend to be silly Kasa-kun just by acting a little bit elegant.

Tsukasa

....! Gawd, what is up with this condescending―

Makoto

How rude of you! You need be a little more polite, Sena-senpai. What you just said isn't just an insult to me, it's an insult to the Suou family!

Makoto

Am I right, Yuki-senpai? How degrading of him....This guy's always talking me down like this!

Tsukasa

Uhh? Ah, yeah, that's right....?

Tsukasa

No, you're completely right! Izumi-san, if you always act so Cynical, you're just gonna end up being disliked!

Izumi

Hmph. I don't care if the whole world hates me. I know I'm the best and that's all that matters.

Makoto

Where do you even get this self-confidence from....?

Izumi

Whatever, let's get back problem at hand. And so you over there, you're Yu-kun?

Tsukasa

Yes, sir―I mean, yup! I'm Izumi-san's beloved Yu-kun, all right! Spoil me all you want!

Izumi

What're you talking about? I thought you hated my spoiling you.

Izumi

Did you have a change of heart? I'm seriously confused here....

Izumi

Exactly how do you want me to be?You gotta be clear, it's Super Irritating.

Ritsu

(Oh no, Secchan's starting to get irritated....)

Ritsu

(Well, "his" acting isn't so great, I guess we should continue on with the plan.)

Ritsu

I get that you're confused, but there's no use arguing now. Let's go back to fixing the problem at hand.

Ritsu

I mean, I'm the one they came all the way to seek help from So, I'll be the one asking the questions now.

Ritsu

Secchan, be a sport! Be quiet and let me handle it from here.

Izumi

Yup, got it. I mean it seems like it's none of my business to begin with. I guess I can go home now?

Tsukasa

No, don't leave, Izumi-san. Our plan's gonna fail then―

Makoto

*Cough* OK. Let the humble me explain what exactly took place to lead to this situation.

Makoto

Time and place was this morning. Yuki-senpai and I were sleeping together in the nap roomー

Izumi

OK, stop right there. Sleeping together? Exactly why were you two sleeping together?

Izumi

That's just cruel, Yu-kun. Even though treat me like a pest and keep your distance from me.

Makoto

That's not it. I mean, I don't think that's it. He just doesn't really like all that lovely-dovey, touchy-feely stuff. You have to admit, it's a little disturbing.

Tsukasa

Yeah, I mean we're all guys here. It's weird to be so close together.

Tsukasa

However, back to the situation, all the futons were taken, so we had no choice but to share one.

Makoto

Yes. At first, we were in separate futons, but then after tossing and turning, we ended up in the same one.

Makoto

Yeah, it was an accident and completely unintentional.

Izumi

Wait a second, before you continue, what do you mean 'nap room'?

Izumi

We have one of those here?

Izumi

I thought if we wanted to stay the night, we needed to get permission from the school. Then we can take a practice room, and put a futon in there.

Ritsu

Oh actually, Anzu got the OK to put in a nap room a while ago.

Ritsu

She got permission from the Student Council so we can even stay the night there if we want.

Ritsu

This way, the school can see who's staying overniight at a glance.

Ritsu

Eichan finally gave the OK on a couple conditions.

Ritsu

Then he took an empty practice room, gave it the name 'nap room,' put the necessary things in, and opened it up to the rest of the school.

Ritsu

If you wanna stay the night, you do have to pay a small fee. But it honestly doesn't cost much.

Ritsu

The school part-timers regularly wash the futons and clean the room.

Ritsu

There's also a heating and cooling system installed. It's super comfortable and I use it all the time!

Izumi

Hmm, Anzu's really working her butt off even though it's right before the SS event.

Izumi

Well, whatever. It's good that we have more facilities. It'll come in handy for me, too.

Izumi

Well, Kuma-kun, you've always been saying that you'd like a warmer place to sleep,

Izumi

Since you're always sleeping outside on the grass.

Ritsu

Yup. And Anzu thought so, too. She even let me stay there for free at first.

Ritsu

But then they started charging a fee to stay there.

Ritsu

Anyhow, it's nice of her to set something up like this. It's much better than sleeping outside and catching a cold.
