Ando hesitated for a while before hanging up after saying that he would call back in just a bit.

“I’ll be leaving for a bit.”

Bada, who was absorbed in watching TV, just waved at him without looking. After leaving the house, Maru went into the nearby convenience store and bought a canned coffee. It was nearing the end of March. The evening winds had warmed up to the point that he could stand outside without shivering. Just as he was sipping on the coffee, he got a call.

“Hello?”

-Hello? It’s me, Koo Ando.

“Yeah, can you take the call now?”

-I just left, so I’m fine.

“You couldn’t take the call before?”

-I was at a study café.

“Sorry about that. I called thinking that you were at home.”

-I was about to take a break anyway, so it doesn’t matter that much. You called because of Sora, right?

Yeah - Maru replied before standing up with the coffee in hand.

“From what I saw during the day, you don’t seem to have any interest in shooting the movie, am I right?”

-If it’s about if I do or not, then I guess I lean towards the latter. While we are called the film production club, we didn’t produce anything during the past few years.

“I only heard a bit so don’t count me on this, but I heard that you guys did do shoot in the past.”

-Nothing like that happened...
