Ending - Reliable friend

== After school ==

== Haneoka Girls' Highschool – Courtyard ==

Tomoe : We did it---!!!

Tsugumi : Tomoe-chan, Good work! I’m glad we managed to give the return gifts to all the girls!

Tomoe : Yes, It's all thanks to everyone!

Ran : Yes, I'm glad that I could be of any help.

Moca : Hm~? Why did you act like that, Ran~. You're the one who tells her to rely on you~.

Ran : Shut up...

Tsugumi : Let me thanks all of you once again. If it's only me, I won't be able to help Tomoe-chan till the end.

Himari : Tsugu always doing her best alone~. You can always rely on us!

Moca : That’s right~. You have this many reliable friends around you after all.

Ran : You say that yourself...? But, I think the reason Tomoe’s managed to give all the return gifts is because of you, Tsugumi.

Tomoe : Of course! I won't be able to make it without Tsugu.

Tomoe : I mean, It takes so much time just for me to hand out the return gift, right?

Tomoe : All of them were so happy when I give them the return gift. Even though I'm not a star or anything.

Tomoe : Seeing that, make me want to answer their feelings. And because of that, I...

Tomoe : But even then, Tsugu still does her best to rearrange the schedule for me while keeping my feeling in her mind. 

Tomoe : She prioritized the thing that I wanna do, and rearrange the schedule to the best of her ability. And because that, I could give all the return gifts to everyone.

Tsugumi : Tomoe-chan...

Tomoe : You always help us to the best of your ability, and we're always saved by that side of you. Thank you, Tsugu.

Tsugumi : O-Of course, we're friends after all. But, Your welcome.

Himari : But seriously, I'm glad we make it! That last girl, she's about to go home, if it's not because of Tsugu then we definitely won't make it, right?

Tomoe : Yes, Tsugu is really amazing!

Ran : It’s because Tsugumi writes everything that Tomoe said in her note.

Moca : Tsugu’s tsugurificness is being released~.

Tsugumi : A-About that...

Ran : What's wrong?

Tsugumi : When I'm thinking about it, it's probably better if we just wait for her at the shoe racks, she'll definitely go over there before going home...

All : ...Ah.

Tomoe : W-well! We're panicked at that time, so of course, we won't think of that!

Himari : Yes! Everything went well in the end, so don't sweat the small stuff!

Tsugumi : Ahaha... Thank you...

Moca : Even so, 50 peoples is definitely a lot of people~.

Tsugumi : You're right...! But, when I saw Tomoe-chan politely thanking them one by one, I understand why Tomoe-chan is so popular.

Himari : I saw it too, the other party looks so happy.

Ran : When I saw that, I thought they're going to give her a return gift to thanks her for giving them a return gift. 

Moca : That’s one of Tomo-chin's virtues~.

Tomoe : Wha, Don't praise me like that! It's embarrassing!

Ran : I'm really surprised when you handed the return gift while still wearing a jersey because you didn't have time to change clothes after P.E.

Himari : For real~! And you even attended the next classes while still wearing that!

Tomoe : T- That can't be helped! I won't make it in time, if I didn't do that!

Himari : Come to think of it, Ran also did something weird, right?

Ran : I didn't do something weird, it's more like someone thinks I'm doing something weird...

Tsugumi : Did something happen?

Ran : ... Minato-san becomes very suspicious of me, because she thinks I'm stalking on of the girls.

Tomoe : Ahaha! That’s a disaster!

Ran : Wha.... I did it for you, Tomoe!?

Tomoe : Sorry, sorry! Thank you, Ran.

Tomoe : That's right, Let's go to the family restaurant after this! I want to thanks everyone, so this will be my treat!

Himari : Ooo~! Let's go~!

Moca : Ooo~, How generous Tomo-chin~. I've been interested in the bread menu that they have for a while~.

Tomoe : D- Don't order too much, okay....?

Ran : ...Eh?

Tsugumi : What's wrong, Ran-chan?

Ran : ... I only saw it for a second just now, but inside Tomoe's bag, there are still some return gifts left?

All : Eh!?

Tomoe : ...Ah.

Tsugumi : T-Tomoe-chan!? What’s the meaning of this!?

Tomoe : Well, after I give Tsugu the list, I remember that there are students from Hanajou [Hanasakigawa Jougakuen] who give me choco too, so I'm thinking to give them a return gift too... ahaha....

Tsuugumi : T- Tomoe-chan~...!

Moca : Tomo-chin~?

Himari : Why didn't you say that earlier~!

Ran : .... So, what should we do.

Tomoe : I- I'm sorry everyone! Please accompany me to Hanajou! Ah! I will also treat everyone for a drink later!

All : ...

Tomoe : P- please~...!
