August 31, 9:45 AM.
Just like that, Kamijou and Mikoto had run through the streets for an hour.
"Wait a sec! Isn't this setting a bit strange!? Why did we have to run nonstop for an hour?"
"Shut up! Be quiet! Give me some time to think this through!"
Mikoto cried out as she shook her head vigorously.
Kamijou looked around. They were apparently on a side road, tall buildings all around them, with another smaller building seeming to be another student dorm.
Mikoto took several deep breaths before finally calming down.
"Whoo… Sorry, I kind of lost control back there. Let's find some place to sit, and I'll tell you the current situation."
"Ah? What current situation? Hey, did you just drag me into something troublesome again?"
"Ah, it's almost 10; the stores are about to open now, right? Though we just had breakfast, how about we go for a hotdog?"
"Wait, wait! Don't just ignore my question! Did you drag me into something troublesome again? I haven't finished my summer homework yet! Not to mention you gave me so much trouble; do you think you can buy me off with one hotdog?"
"Hmm?" Mikoto put her index finger to her chin and said, "Then that'll do."
"What?"
"We'll go for the most expensive hotdog in the world; that way, you won't have any objections, right?"
"Uh, that wasn't the point… Ahh, you're not even listening to me!"
Kamijou didn't even have time to complain before being dragged off by Mikoto.
