Work Text:
Mahiru ordered Hikari to get them their tea orders, while the latter and Karen went to look for a spot to chill together. After a few momemts in, Hikari was taking seconds, becoming minutes— until Karen came over and asked, "Hikari-chan?? What's taking so long? Me and Mahiru already found a spot for us three-"
Hikari just sweats nervously, yet keeping her stoic facade on. Karen notices it though, leading her to realize, "Ahh! I see. Alright Hikari-chan! I'll go order the tea with you!!"
After the tea buying, both Karen and Hikari return to Mahiru along with their tea orders. "What took you guys so long?"
"Ehehe~ Hikari-chan isn't so good with other people, so I went and helped her!!"
Hikari nods at Karen's statement. Mahiru looks towards the both of them, gently smiling and then sighs contentedly. "I guess we having something to work on together don't we?"
Karen realizes that Mahiru was actually accepting, even pointing out that the three of them are going to work together just to fight Hikari's own nervousness towards others.
"Might as well start with our friend group!!" Exclaimed Karen, with Mahiru and Hikari silently chuckling at their Karen.
