School cafeteria, Tarutaru has just eaten and has stood up and is just about to return the dishes, when Aoi walks in and waves at her.
"Oi! Enoka-san!" Aoi shouts. She looks happy and has this ‘I know more than you’ smile on her face.
"Oh hello Richter, I was just leaving." Tarutaru says and nods towards the dish collection.
"Yeah. Listen, I need to give you something."
"What? Give me something? What in the world are you—"
Aoi dips her hand into her pocket, takes out a $10 bill and silently hands it to Tarutaru. Tarutaru looks at it dumbfounded, opens her mouth, looks at Aoi, closes her mouth, looks at the bill, looks at Aoi again and then her eyes suddenly flash open.
"Whaaaat?! Really?" Tarutaru says, astonished.
Aoi grins at her and turns to leave.
"Alright Richter, come back. Spill the beans, I wanna hear everything…" Tarutaru says, putting down her tray.
