Skribulous said: I'm loving this portrayal of Hatate. More friendly rival, none of the fandom-popular emo.
Fandom can be quite funny sometimes, but it's sad then it's screwing things up. That's why accurate depiction like Hatate's or Momiji's pasteltel are popular. TL;DR: +1 Skribulous.
Zelinkokitsune said: If anything its teaching Aya something.
Yeah. Teaching her that she can't rely on time-stopping maids to help her deal with last-minute crises.
If Sakuya did that for her once, she'd come back expecting it again!
Better to let the tengu be late so that she learns to deal with her own troubles ahead of time.
Hatate?That's a good thing in its own way.If that's true...How unlike you...Huh?Hmm?She'll definitely be sad to hear that you didn't get her anything...Who knows?You really love her?What do you think you're saying...?It's not like that!I feel like blowing away this entire mansion right now.Come.You're going to make me some?Aaaah, Sakuya-san, thank you so mu--You're going to make them.Aya?Yaya, w-why do I have to make them?...think everything will be fine as long as you have something to give her, don't you?Eh?Oh, poor Sanae...!Of course not.What are you bringing up Sanae-san for?...poor Sanae...So long!Who knows what'll happen to this mountain if the gods get mad?At this rate, I can just see her running crying to her gods!Hmm? So it was true?Huh?Found you!Ayayayayaaah...Aya?!Waiting for you, Aya!Huh?You still aren't aware enough as a newspaper reporter.So you really didn't prepare anything?Ah, and I really gave it to Mr. High and Mighty, too!Aaaahhh...Hmmm?But going to meet her empty-handed would be...Just spare me the onbashira festival.Ghk--To think he sent it to his mistress...Got a big haul!Ah!There were some at the SDM.Why am I the one that has to get her something?It'll be inconvenient if it's not right now...!...Is this about Sanae-san?Ugh....really waiting for me?Don't be too late, now!And so!Party?Come back when the day has changed.A-aya?Huh? Because......you're lovers.
What are you doing here?
Here!What's this?Ayayayaya!Today's Valentine's Day, isn't it?Aah...Was it that reporter?Was it that reporter that made you cry?Aya?!Then I'll have plenty of material!...Was Sanae...I wouldn't lie to a friend of mine!Maybe you could pull some of those flowers from back over there?Is cutting corners like that really okay?Cookies or something would work, right?Sanae's were really good.Cookies?Would it be possible for you to make me some cookies or cake for reference purposes?Please go away.I have to prepare for the party.Right now?Anyway...This is ridiculous...Ah.It'll be fine even if I don't have cookies.Wait.Were you planning to give Sanae-san some of our cookies?How do I say it?What are you talking about?I'll be able to prepare for the party a little later, so don't worry about it....You......that's what she always says at parties.That girl is really an idiot.Sorry to bother you.Huh?Well, yeah....then there's no need to go to all this trouble for her, is there?That's true.Well, but...That is......That is, I mean...I don't want to see her looking sad, you know?Would you mind not laughing?I'm sorry...Is that wrong?That's wrong....I don't get it. What am I supposed to do if what I make isn't any good?It'll be fine....huh. She's just going to hate them, isn't...Mmmmm...It's fine, as long as she can sense your earnestness.I was wondering if she'd get me anything, though.Aah, because today's Valentine's Day. Then you're already going to make lots of cookies and cakes, right? Just a little bit is fine, so split some with--...if I don't give her anything, there'll be an onbashira festmumble mumble......She's late....Aah...It'll only be a matter of time before your and Sanae's relationship is exposed, too...Yaya......Fine.You bird brain.I'd like to write an article about Western sweets.Buuuuut! Sakuya-saaaan!"Aya-san belongs to me, so you can't take her!"Looks like you have a lot of time, Hatate-san~There was no way I was not going to take advantage of this day
