For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was bluffing, but she really didn't dare take that gamble!
"Oh, right. Are you free tomorrow night?" He suddenly remembered something, unfastened his seat belt, and reached back for the Backpack, searching through it for something.
"I still have work, though..."
"Skip it."
"..." Was this person seriously not going to let her live properly?
After finding what he wanted, Himemiya Chihaya tossed the bag back into the rear seat and handed her the item in his hand.
"...What is this?" Sakayori Iroha took the rectangular piece of cardstock that looked like a ticket and read its contents. "Ave Mujica's first concert ticket?"
Yes, after more than half a month of active preparation, Toyokawa Shoko and the others could finally begin their first Live.
God knew how much effort had gone into everything just to finish before tomorrow's new moon.
It couldn't be helped. That was their whole concept, after all. If they couldn't do it tomorrow, they would have to wait until the full moon half a month later.
She looked up in confusion. "What kind of group is this?"
"A band. A newly formed one, though its performance style might be a little unusual." He paused to consider his wording. "Something between a band performance and a musical, maybe?"
"An acquaintance gave me several tickets. These are the extras, so go watch it with your friends."
"...Huh? You're giving these to me!?" Her eyes widened in astonishment as she asked in disbelief.
No... With this atmosphere and those lines, no matter how she thought about it, that had to be what he meant. But, but... what if it wasn't?
It was better to be cautious.
Besides... ever since they had met, she had only been receiving things from him.
