Lisa
Alright~, once we put away this broom, we are officially done! Great job today, Ran!
Ran
... Today feels like it went on forever. I'm beat.
Lisa
Of course you are~...! We had to deal with that well, didn't we? Cleaning shouldn't have involved something so scary.
Ran
I'm sure glad nothing happened though... Turns out it wasn't even one of the seven mysteries.
Lisa
It kinda feels like Hina and the others put us through all that for no reason, doesn't it~?
Ran
Ah, speaking of Hina-san, I just got a message from her... Uhm... What the heck?
Lisa
Huh? What's up?
Ran
It says, "That well was really zappin' in the beginning, but by the end, it was pretty ring-a-ding, huh?"...
Lisa
Uhm... What does that mean...?
Ran
I have no idea...
Ran
... And they just keep coming.
Lisa
Maybe it's because you're not responding?
Ran
How can I respond if I don't understand what it says...?
Lisa
Ahaha, that's true. Okay, then how about we try and decode these messages together?!
Lisa
Hmm~... These messages are so Hina. Lots of "boppināŖ" Some "badum pow"... I have no idea what any of this means...
Ran
... Me neither.
Lisa
Maybe this one means something like "fun"? Ah, wait, she uses it a little differently here~.
Hina
Hey, what are you two talking about? What's up?
Lisa
Ah, perfect timing...
Hina
Hm? What do you mean? And why are you two looking at her phone?
Lisa
We're reading your messages, Hina.
Hina
My messages?
Ran
Yeah, what's with all these messages all at once?
Hina
Huh~? What are you two talking about?
Ran
What...? You've been sending me messages for a while now, right?
Hina
To you? Nope, sure haven't.
Ran
Huh...? Y-you're kidding, right? I mean, there's so many...
Ran
Th-then where did they come from...? They all have your name on them...
Ran
(C-could this be... a ghost...?!)
Lisa
C-come on, quit lying~!
Hina
I'm telling you, I didn't send anything~! Fine, let's look at my phone then. That way you'll see that I'm not-- ... Huh?
Lisa
I knew it! See, you did send them!
Hina
Huh? What the...? I thought I sent these to Maya-chan, but looks like I sent them to you by mistake, Ran-chan.
Lisa
What? Ah, so that's why you said you didn't send them... Argh~! Quit scaring us like that~!
Hina
Ahaha, sorry! You'll forgive me too, won't you, Ran-chan~?
Ran
(Wh-why is this ghost haunting me...? Did I do something wrong? Am I cursed now...?)
Hina
Ran-chan~, can you hear me~?
Lisa
Looks like Ran's completely frozen...
Transcript
Ran
Ah, BanG Dreamer-san. Hey. Are you out shopping?
Ran
You needed to get some soap...? Is it for CiRCLE?
Ran
Cleaning, huh...? I actually helped clean the school the other day.
Ran
We have this day at my school where all the students get together and tidy it up.
Ran
They divide us up into groups, and this time my group was all people I knew.
Ran
Mine was Lisa-san, Maya-san... And then Seta-san and Hina-san...
Ran
Ah, yeah. It was just luck that we all ended up together. I was really happy about it...
Ran
Although, I was a little worried about being with Seta-san and Hina-san...
Ran
Why...? Isn't it obvious? Those two are nothing but trouble...
Ran
They're just a lot to handle. And they really stand out. I guess I was worried I'd get overwhelmed trying to keep up with them...
Ran
Well, we actually did run into trouble. But even with that, the whole experience turned out to be more interesting than I expected.
Ran
Like seeing Seta-san and Hina-san together. I had no idea they were such good friends.
Ran
Ah, well, maybe that's the wrong word. I get the feeling Hina-san is more a fan of Seta-san's than her friend.
Ran
No, not like her usual fangirls. I suppose you could say she finds Seta-san to be... interesting? I think that's the idea.
Ran
Getting to see stuff like that made the day worthwhile. It's nice to learn new things.
Ran
Huh? Do I think we're closer now...? No clue. Maybe?
Ran
Lisa-san and Maya-san always talked to me at school, so nothing's changed there.
Ran
Same goes for Hina-san and Seta-san. Hina-san still sends me weird messages every once in a while, and Seta-san still spouts nonsense about Shakespeare.
Ran
Everything's the same as usual, except... I suppose they're a little easier to talk to... Maybe.
