"In that case, Y'all can count on me to lead the way! As for talkin’, you're on yer own. <Some folks have a hard time with the accent over yonder too.>" You explain with a small giggle.
>"We can work with that." Toru giggles along. "And if we can't, being lost out of town with your herd of friends is far better than doing it alone. Like an adventure all of its own!"
With a pat on the back you usher the unseen girl to her seat as Kyoka and Momo also make their way to their own.
>"What kind of hat would look the best on her…" You hear Momo muse as she walks away.
>"You really gotta ask?" Kyoka asks back before leaving the limited range of your hearing.
Despite Toru’s inadvertent reminder that you did not read anyone’s texts conjuring some guilt, you are only more jazzed to have even more summer plans. What could go wrong, being a tour guide? It’s not even life-threatening!
…Or so you think. It'd be the first time you are doing this kind of thing. Back home, you'd be keeping tabs on detours and escape routes if you had to be alone with kids your age, never mind the idea of voluntarily leading them around.
Putting away the stray thought to look up crime statistics for I-Island for later, you dig your phone out of your pocket and instead sift through the dozens of unread notifications you've accrued until you finally arrive at Toru’s messages. You begin reading and taking note of her rather rambly plans to look out for all sorts of tourist activities on I-Island while keeping one ear open to the sound of more classmates approaching 1-A.
