And back home for Erika. Hopefully her mother doesn't feel too much like gloating.

She's doing her very best not to make Erika feel awkward about this, in fact. She does, though, say: "Mizuno-chan is a nice young lady."

"She is. I hope- I think I can be good friends with her."

"That's good. Let me know if you need anything, alright Eri-chan?"

"I will, Mom."

"Um, I'm also thinking about joining the archery club."

Nod! "I'll pay for any equipment you need, of course."

Smile. "I'll let you know."

Does Erika have anything else she wants to talk about?

Just normal school things. They're starting a calligraphy unit in Art soon, and she was thinking of bringing in some of her old pieces...

Rei's always found calligraphy... Tedious. It's good Erika's enjoying the class. 

It's nice to have something bounded to focus on getting right. And then more than right.

A good way to look at it.

Thanks.

She's about ready to start wrapping her day up, though.

She'll let her daughter get to sleep. 

Good night.

And tomorrow is another day.

There's rumors about Ami's old cram school closing suddenly! Including someone claiming that the business behind it is being investigated by Sailor V for something? 

What, like actually?

The person claiming that is very stubbornly saying he heard it from a parent who's a detective, but no one else seems to believe him. 

Huh. Hope that doesn't mean anything bad for her.

At the end of the day, Erika will change up her routine and look for the archery club.

It's pretty easy to find, with people gathering out in the same field they use for sports day. There's a far corner with archery targets backed by hale bales set up. There's already a few people there – including a familiar face.

aaaaaaaaaa No it's fine. Everything is fine. She's so normal. Just checking out a club.

Shinju smiles a little when she sees Erika walk up. "It's good you were able to make it."

"After your recommendation, I thought I should at least give it a look. Thank you for having me, I'll be in your care."

Mmhmm. "Let's start with equipment. Are you right or left handed?"

Yep, still a nice smile, not new information, thank you brain.

"Right."
