(Right on cue, huh? A PeChat from the manager? “The proposal for the BD event is due tomorrow. How’s your progress going?”......)  

What a pain......

*A sound catches Ten’s attention*

The fluffy, life-sized, llama-shaped robopets that were about to be delivered to the store suddenly jumped out of their cardboard boxes and started rampaging all over the place!!

Oh no, my company’s future depends on “Chit Chat Mami-chan"! Maybe programming them with a slightly free-spirited personality was a mistake!? Come back~!!

Ptooey. I’ll choose my own master, got it?

Nagi Icon
Nagi

Wait. Um, you’re kind of putting me in a tough spot by charging at me so passionately. I already have a very cute and capable partner named Sonia at home, so I don’t need any more robopets—

(Oh well, Nagi should be fine even if I leave him alone. Now then, time for a relaxing lunch...)  

*A bicycle rings its bell*

Did you forreal protect HAMA from a herd of llamas plotting world domination!?

Ten Icon

Huh?

Nanaki Icon

Hang on, Akuta. Calm down. You’re freaking him out.

Putting aside the world domination bit, we heard that you rescued Hachinoya-san when he was in a pinch. Just what I’d expect of you, Murakumo-san.

Ten Icon

Ohhh.

(...I see. Sounds like the incident from earlier got passed around like a game of telephone and ended up getting blown out of proportion.)

Akuta Icon

8 front flips into 8 backflips, and then a moonsault. Parkour in the city...that's dope as heck!

Ten Icon
Ten

(This sounds like it’s gonna drag on if I keep poking at it...)

Well...I was just thinking about my BD area, so...I gave it a try and it just kinda happened?

Nanaki Icon
Nanaki

That’s amazing. I’d heard you were athletic from Kiroku and Muneuji, but...

If you’ve been thinking about it, does that mean you’ll be using your athleticism for your upcoming BD event? That sounds pretty exciting.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

I know right!? I gotta see Ten-san in action with my own eyes too~!

Ten Icon
Ten

Uhhh......

(The BD event... The manager’s definitely gonna grill me about it the next time I see him. I might as well just piggyback off their idea.) 

Yeah, exactly. That’s the plan.

Let’s do it. Fun parkour for everyone.
