Either way, where on earth is Hamano? He's not usually one that's late. After a few more minutes, Kou was about to call him when he feels the chair opposite him clatter.
"Hamano, even for you this—" He stops his sentence mid-way when he saw somebody unexpected.
It was not Hamano Atushi but instead, in the seat opposite sat a fair-skinned girl with red and purple dual-colored eyes. She has sandy blonde hair styled into two half-pigtails which are held up with a yellow heart barrette on the left and a blue star barrette on the right.
"Y—you?"
"It's been a while, Kou-chan."
"Yuko-san!" He exclaimed. Indeed there sat opposite him was none other than his old tutor Sora Yuko.
Not just a tutor, but she was a former second idol. While she no longer enters the idol rankings due to her status, she is still a member of the entertainment industry.
Yuko chuckled. "I am glad to see that you still have the same amount of enthusiasm".
