wouldn’t you love her? I mean have you seen her in action! But now I can be interested in

flowers too, I mean I’ve got to be, else I’ll never see Haruka again! How awful would that be? I

mean I’m not stupid, I can babysit a plant! I’m sure even Shizuku and Airi can! But before I knew

it I was about to be late for school again. So I grabbed my belongings and scurried out the door.

“Oh Minori. There you are.”

Oh. My. Gosh. I forgot I even knew Haruka for a moment. Wait. HOW DID I FORGET!?

“G-Good morning Haruka.”

Gosh I’m blushing again… aren't I?

“What flower did you receive to take care of?”

“I got this… dunno what it is”

I almost stumble on my words again, I really have to be more careful around Haruka!

“Oh, from what I can tell that's a hydrangea!”

WOW! She even knows her flowers! She’s so cool…

“I got this daylily. I prefer your flower to my own.”

She laughs at her own joke. I mean I can see why she really is funny.

“Minori! Haruka! Over here!”

Oh, Airi is calling us and I believe Shizuku is with her.

“You’ll never guess what I got…Ta-Da!”

She pulls out a Dahlia. Even I know what a Dahlia is!

“Woah. Airi that's so cool!”

Shizuku smiles at Airi. I’m fully expecting Shizuku to have such a beautiful flower, the flowers

are reported to match our personalities after all!

“Now to get the name correct. I was given a Scilla Bifolia!”

Shizuku seems so happy to be caretaking a flower, and really good on her. I think it could take

all of our minds off of our duties as idols, and maybe…

IT COULD BRING ME CLOSER TO HARUKA!

Am I getting side-tracked? Probably…

“Okay guys, so with a little bit of research. I found out that if we mistreat our plants, we could

suffer lethal consequences!”

Airi is the first to react, pure shock and a wave of concern. But I mean why wouldn’t you be

concerned. Shizuku panics and tugs on Airi’s coat. Me and Haruka exchange worried glances. I

do fear we might have to find out about said consequences in the near future.

But that’s just a feeling… Right?
