[Action]

[It's evening on March 14. Ky is in full-on Order uniform, which has just been washed, and is looking sharper than normal. He's also waiting outside a nice restaurant.

If you're Kaguya, he's waiting for you. But if not, and you happen to be in the area, feel free to chat him up while he waits!]

[ BOY GUESS WHO'S LATE? ~~Not Kattu cause at least I tagged this on the same day.~~ Here comes one running girl, frantic that she's behind.

When actually she's early. Alas. ]

[Ky watches Kaguya approach with mild curiosity. Once she's within speaking range, he asks her a question.]

You looked like you were in a hurry. Why was that?

I was told I should set my clock ahead two hours ahead because of how much spring was in my step, so I thought I should leave early, but then it turns out I was late... or maybe I was early. I'm not too sure anymore.

[Oh, this girl. Such a handful sometimes.]

Trust me, you're early. There was a time change, but it was for one hour ahead.

[ She only has the best of intentions in mind! ]

Only one hour? Why was I told to do two hours then? I need to go find that person and make sure their clocks are set right too!

[Just all the more reason to stick around her.]

Um...it...is possible that you misheard. Let's not worry about that for now.

Misheard? No, I wrote it down and they doublechecked it. Because I thought it strange and well, you're right! Let's not worry about it right now.

[Ky walks over to the restaurant door and opens it. He makes a gesture with his hand to indicate that Kaguya should enter.]

After you.

Why after me? Why can't you ever go first and I hold open the door for you? [ Whoosh, etc. ] We should flip a coin to decide who opens the doors and pulls out the chairs!

Um...well, you see...it's part of a gentleman's etiquette to hold open the door and pull out chairs for a lady.

But what if I want to do it? Can't I be a gentleman too?

Um...these are roles associated with gender.

Then what role is associated with my gender?

That of the lady.

[He's not sure how to explain it beyond that, so he hopes she's familiar with the idea.]

The lady? [ NOPE.AVI ] I don't really get it?

Well, um. The lady is refined, and deserves the utmost courtesy from the gentleman. Opening doors for herself when not necessary is beneath one of her stature.

Well, that doesn't make any sense. I can open the door myself, so why can't I do that?

It isn't that you can't. It's just that it's proper for the gentleman to do it.

Well, what's proper for me to do then?

To walk through and let me walk in behind you.

Just like that? Honestly, that's all I get to do?

No, not at all. We'll be able to properly enjoy our date together once inside.

But how can I enjoy it if there's some rulebook I don't have a copy of?

I know all there is to know about etiquette. If you're ever unsure, you can ask me.

But don't worry, it's not that difficult.

Well then, is it proper for you to tell me what I can or can't do on our date?

Well, if you genuinely don't know, it should be fine.

How can you say it's fine? It's not fine. Not at all!

What do you mean?

It's as though you're excusing my bad behavior due to my ignorance. Well, I don't know if it's bad, but I'm clearly behind a bit on things. I never held the door open for you before, so why do you have to do it now? I don't really get it.

[ Clearly. ]

...Well, there's a draft going into the restaurant now. Let's just go in.

Is it proper for the gentleman to rush the lady?

Er...well, it's not proper to keep someone waiting...

But is it proper to argue with your friend?

...Well, the problem with that is that that requires two people.

You're right...

So, please. Let's get inside.

Yes, let's go on in.

[ She'll stop arguing for the sake of thread progression. ]

[And soon enough they're at their table. It's a beautiful restaurant. Ky is browsing the menu, looking for something he wants.]

[ She's rarely quiet when it comes to things, but for once, she is. ]

[It doesn't take long for Ky to decide what he wants. He looks up at his date.]

Are you ready to order?

No, not quite. I want to order everything, so I have to reconsider all of my options carefully!

...Ah, yes, that would be a good idea.

[Ky doesn't want to pay for every item on the menu, and he doubts that Kaguya can eat that much.]

How about you order the same thing as I am?
