After that.
Natsume Chikage opened the messages Yukimura Suzune had sent him.
[Yukimura Suzune: Are you planning to take tomorrow off?]
[Natsume Chikage: Yes. I'll probably be busy with my stuff for quite a while.]
[Yukimura Suzune: I see—actually, Nanase, Aoi, and Sana wanted to check out your new house, but if you're that busy, we'll wait until you've finished sorting things out before we come over.]
[Natsume Chikage: Okay.]
[Yukimura Suzune: But do you remember how I wanted to take you out yesterday? It's raining tonight, so I thought we'd forget about tonight and make it tomorrow afternoon instead. Is that okay?]
[Natsume Chikage: Sure. I'm mostly busy in the mornings anyway.]
[Yukimura Suzune: Great.]
[Natsume Chikage: But where are we going?]
[Yukimura Suzune: Ahem—don't ask. You'll find out when the time comes. That's settled, then. I'm going to bed. Good night.]
[Natsume Chikage: Why all the secrecy—but never mind. Good night.]
After replying to Yukimura Suzune, Natsume Chikage opened the messages from Saionji Nanase.
[Saionji Nanase: Chikage, are you free tomorrow?]
[Natsume Chikage: I was until just now, but Suzune needs me for something in the afternoon, so I'm not anymore.]
A reply soon arrived.
[Saionji Nanase: Oh—I see.]
[Natsume Chikage: Did you need something?]
[Saionji Nanase: (ω I wanted to go out with you—go shopping and see if there are any interesting collectibles stores. If Saturday doesn't work, how about Sunday?]
[Natsume Chikage: Oh, but I don't know yet whether I'll have anything else to do on Sunday. Could we see when the time comes?]
[Saionji Nanase: (°∇°) Okay.]
[Natsume Chikage: First, what time were you thinking of going?]
[Saionji Nanase: I was thinking—in the evening—is that okay?]
[Natsume Chikage: In the evening? What time?]
[Saionji Nanase: Around seven.]
[Natsume Chikage: That should be fine.]
[Saionji Nanase:
