Of course, Ms. Kashiwazaki. .

[Koizumi takes her hand and politely ignores the blush. It is kind of adorable, but like she says, it's only so they can find the culprit.]

Shall we have a picnic? We could take a blanket from the dorms and stop by the cafeteria to pick up desserts. I imagine the sunset would be gorgeous over the river.

[His ideas were pretty good but it just makes her think he's probably done this before. Maybe not the trick but the "date".]

Not a bad idea, for somebody who fell for this trick. We can push them in, if we find them.

[mysterioustransferstudent]

[Koizumi chuckles. She's awfully straightforward, isn't she? She's actually wrong about the "date" thing, though. He'd had maybe a year-long window when he was old enough to date before the Suzumiya incident happened and romance became out of the question.]

If that's the sort of punishment you're planning, maybe I can help out after all. I must admit that I thought you had something more sinister in mind.

[mightletyouknowme]

[There's no way he's not done this before. This is too much like the womanizing best friend character to galge protagonists.]

Huh? What did you think I was going to do? Even if bitches like this should die, I'm not going to really kill them.

[mysterioustransferstudent]

[Awfully straightforward. It's kind of refreshing. Keeps him on his toes.]

I'm glad to hear that. I try not to go on dates with murderers, after all.

[ He's keeping an eye on the shrubbery as he walks.]

Though if you were the unsavory type, at least our conspirators would have a clear motive.

[mightletyouknowme]

They already have a clear motive. [Not as straightforward in everything. That should really keep him guessing.] They're obviously jealous. I used to get these all the time at my old school.

...But I don't know why they would pick you. I don't even know you.

[She'll let him keep the lookout. He should be able to handle that.]

[mysterioustransferstudent]

Jealous?

[He's probably got the lookout thing covered, but it is distracting when she makes him curious. He glances at her, trying to read as much as he can before he turns his attention back to their surroundings.]

If you were the intended target, it's possible that I was chosen at random. I'm relatively new to this school and I can't think of anything I've done that would make me stand out.

[But that's not quite right, is it? He cringes a little.]

...Probably. I suppose that depends on how far Ms. Suzumiya's reputation has spread. There's always guilt by association.

Why do you say the motive is jealousy?

[mightletyouknowme]

It's only natural that it would happen here, too. Back at my old school, girls were always jealous but they never did stuff like this. They probably know I would have just thrown it away like the others.

[Which begged the question of why she had come out to meet him. Things were quieter, so maybe she had just jumped at the chance for change. Maybe it was because of how different it seemed.]

[mysterioustransferstudent]

Thrown it away? Then how could you know that it was just jealous classmates? I wonder how many hopeful boys have waited for hours, only to be disappointed.

[He gives a wistful sigh and shakes his head.]

I appreciate that you showed up this time. I would've been terribly confused otherwise.
