When the train stopped at the station where Aoi and Ria’s house was nearby, I quickly got up and left. I didn’t inform them that I was going to pick them up but I at least sent them a message once I left the station.
Not a minute later, the two replied to me as though they'd been waiting for it for a long time.
“Finally, Dumb-senpai!”
“We thought you were not going to come, darling!”
Intrigued at that, I quickly opened a three-way video call and in less than five seconds, the two girls’ grin was the first thing I noticed. After that, the background.
They’re at the same place...
“Are you surprised, darling?” Aoi asked while sporting a smug expression. It’s like she’s saying, ‘Whatever you planned, we predicted it.’
And likewise, Ria raised her hand and made a peace sign before showing a charming smile, “Hurry and pick us up, Dumb-senpai. It’s cold out here.”
