[Ryoji raises an eyebrow at Akihiko's look, but remains silent. Something seems to be bothering his upperclassman, but he's not going to ask about something so personal. Whatever it is, it's up to Akihiko to reveal it on his own, whenever he feels ready to. And Ryoji will be glad to talk to him when the time comes. He can wait to share such things.

He nods at Akihiko's response, looking pretty interested.]

They have openings at the bookstore? It would be amazing to work there. Funny, I used to hate reading, but now that no one's forcing me, it's suddenly so much more interesting!

Don't worry, Sempai! I'll be ready! You can count on me! I don't want to be a bad student at all!

Oh, come on, like you wouldn't look at them too! I'm sure they're gorgeous. And they'd probably be flattered if you complimented them!

But in all seriousness, I really would like to go. I always wanted a chance to travel more after Kyoto. I want to see the sights!
