It's a date.

—you know, you calling something a date is a hack you should use whenever you want me to do something for you. The moment you say that word I stand at attention like a puppy being offered a treat, it's kind of ridiculous.

Ooh good to know.

It does have to be something you'll be along for, though, I don't think I'll be very puppylike if you call me doing my homework on my own a date.

It transpires that I also have homework most days.

It does, doesn't it? So that works great for both of us, or for at least one of us.

I am not going to nefariously call things dates to get you to hang out with me if I don't want to hang out with you.

Iiiiiiii should not have the reaction I have every time you say stuff like that. Maybe it'll happen less once it's been longer than two days.

What's to react to??

You liking spending time with me! —wait, that was a bit too pathetic, he might need to redo that—

Do I seem like the kind of person who goes on, what were you imagining, pity dates -

That'd be like at least a hundred times worse than no dates at all. He-e-e-e is coming off pa-the-ti-cal-ly and might want to re-e-e-e-do this.

Well, I'm not. You are a cool superhero and you're fun to talk to and you are very good at kissing.

...oh. Okay. He is. Not going to redo this, actually. That was very, very good. Oh. Even if he is a bit pathetic right now. Time to turn this around.

You're gonna make me blush. Better, confident, sexy.

A never before seen event.

You are amongst a privileged very few who have ever witnessed such an event.

Do we have club meetings?

No, because you must never ever meet, lest you compare notes.

What would happen if we did that?

I'd be really embarrassed is what.

Oh no.

That tone of voice was not very promising, Swan-san!

What're you calling me Swan-san for?

I was feeling very threatened and slightly—I should not continue that thought while having a Kyūbey-mediated conversation.
