What I can do for you?

Sumire may hate the idea, but she won't make a fuss. His gaze fell on the list in his hands. Now then, to address the homesickness issue. He decided to call her friends over.

His thoughts broke off, hearing the sound of large footsteps. When Sano comes marching into his office, Hino isn't surprised. He sighed deeply. "Can you not come in like a raging bull? Don't you have your own reputation to keep?"

"I just heard word that you convinced the entertainment board to send nanairofeather here to Tokyo."

"Correction, I asked them to send representatives per city to participate in a contest I plan to hold. The guys in Nanairofeather just happen to meet the requirements."

He thought long and hard about how to get those guys here for an official reason, and this is what he came up with.

Sano's gaze dimmed, and he slumped on the couch. "Give me a break already. How can I get close to her with them around?"

"So, you know how important they are to her?"
