Arisu was surprised that Megumi responded to her pretty normally. The calm silence afterwards was relaxing, even to the point where a sigh of relief could be heard slip from her lips. She then remembered Megumi's encounter earlier and felt a bit curious.

"Ah, Kitabatake-san, I was wondering about-" Arisu was cut off as a slightly unpleasing voice interrupted.

"Konichiwa omaetachi!" Kikuyu appeared almost out of nowhere and broke the peaceful atmosphere. [i]Agh! This guy again![/i] Arisu's eyebrows furrowed. She knew he was a co-worker but never really spoke to anyone at work besides Lila-san. "Arisu-chan, you okay? You were pretty groggy last night! Tastuyoshi and I had to drive you home! Gahahahaha!" He continued with his irritable talk. 

"H-hey, since when did I allow you to call me by my first name!?" She almost yelled a bit, and then twitched her eyebrow as he ignored the question and continued to converse with Megumi. "Hmph," she stood up abruptly and turned away, just about ready to leave. Suddenly he recommended they visit the festival stalls.

"Why not?" Megumi seemed down for the idea. Arisu, on the other hand, seemed annoyed. 

"I-I was gonna go anyways, so I guess I might as accompany you two," she wasn't technically lying, but spoke in that manner considering it would be better than going alone.
