As their conversation goes on, more questions about the past and their mixed feelings rise to the surface.Set on the day of the National Competition during Season 3 while Aoi and Asuka are in their second year of university. All characters listed besides them are not present but are discussed with relative importance.This short story follows on from my full-length work, Hibike!
