// I'll just treat it as a means of killing time and enjoy myself.

// I'm sure that she'd be a better choice than me and Sunohara at inviting, she looks much more favourable afterall. Thus, I shall leave this in
her care.

// \{Fuuko} "Yes, you're right."

<1060>
// Sunohara started to walk from where he stood.
<1061>\{Nagisa} ""
// \{Nagisa} "But if we were to get the dormitory manager, wouldn't she be rather busy?"
<1062> \{Sunohara} ""

// \{Nagisa} "That would require 3 members, but we presently only have 2 members."
