Quoted By:
Akiko Okaya walks with big steps as Sachiko Sato keeps up with many more small steps, because Sachiko is small and Akiko isn’t. Over her long, black hair remain the dog ears she was wearing back when she pretended to be a magical girl, a self-imposed reminder of atonement both for her and everyone else.
Sachiko: Let me put it this way; what would Okaya-chan do if I asked her to be my girlfriend?
Akiko: …OOOOH, naruhodo! So chat’s what chu’ve been building up to. So, Sachiko-tan is confessing to me too! Hehehehe!
Akiko had already been confessed to over ten times over the course of this year alone. She keeps those letters under her desk at school, not to show them off but because she sees each as a happy memory.
Akiko: Chu’ve gotten so brave so fast. But! Sachiko-tan: you should know the seas before you cast throw that bait, by like using a sonar or something or asking someone or, like, watching stuff about it on the net? Anyway, people are like seas. Thing is, bait isn’t free and-
Sachiko: Answer me.
Akiko: But I was chuing just dat?
Sachiko: No, you were taking a walk through the park on the way home. Like we are doing right now.
That they are, in fact.
Akiko: Eh- Eh… hahaaha..
Sachiko limits herself to puffing her cheeks in utter disdain and contrarianism.
Sachiko: Let me guess. You gave anyone who’s in love with you the ‘no’, but they assumed you rejected them because you gave them advice on the spot.
Akiko feels as if Sachiko’s piercing stare is looking straight at her brain.
