Juro was definitely right about Eri having a sharp tongue because the first comment she makes when they arrive is "I see you guys have finally figured out how a map works and found this place."
Minoru tries giving her a look "Eri."
"No."
"Kasai-san told us, actually." Juro shrugs with a small smile.
"No surprise there, honestly." Eri smiles and jerks a thumb at Minoru "I had to show this idiot how to do this as well, so if you need a cure for technological incompetence, let me know."
"Thanks?" Juro says with another awkward chuckle, scratching his cheek lightly. Right, the one person who can offer help while insulting you is Eri. He looks over to see Youta making a face "Fukui-kun?"
"There doesn't exist a cure for that other than practice, right?" The natural healer asks.
Eri straight-up facepalms "Help me, that guy's denser than you and that's impressive." She glances at Minoru.
"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or as an insult..." Minoru mutters, lightly placing a hand on Eri's forehead and shoving her.
"The fact that you even need to think about that should tell you something." Eri taps the side of her head with a snicker.
"I still don't know what's going on..." Youta sighs, rubbing his forehead.
"I think Hanai-san was just joking... I guess..." Hachiro clarifies, playing with the strings of his hoodie.
"Can we go in now?" Jihun drags out the last word and throws his head back, letting his arms hang by his side.
"We'll get out of your hair since you have a kid to keep busy and I'm not planning on babysitting." Eri hums, walking past the group with a light wave of her hand "I hope you are competent enough to find a door. Have fun."
"The shortest person here complains about our classmate being a child." They overhear Minoru snicker after he bids them goodbye.
"I'm both proud of you and offended."
Youta looks at the two teenagers "Are they gonna be alright? Shouldn't we try to mediate?"
"Only if they were actually fighting." Juro smiles lightly at seeing Eri shove Minoru while they laugh. It's nice to see they have bonded so much "But they seem to be getting along just fine."
Youta stays silent for a moment and observes the situation, eventually commenting "They have a weird way of getting along."
Jihun bursts out into a fit of giggles while Hachiro shrugs with a very faint smile "Don't we all."
"Anyways, let's go!" Jihun grabs both Juro's and Hachiro's hands, dragging the two boys along with him to the entrance, with Youta calmly following behind.
As soon as they stepped inside, Jihun's mouth falls open and he cranes his neck to look at the shelves upon shelves of items towering over them, making even the tallest people among them look like mere insects. The light is brighter inside, presumably to be able to see the bottom rows more clearly in a building of this size. For a moment, Juro fears Jihun might break his neck with the way he's looking around, but then the boy dashes between rows towards two of their classmates.
"Hikaru hyung! Daichi hyung!" The maknae beams and with a smile, Hikaru opens his arms to take the full force of the short boy semi-tackling him in a hug.
"I think we should look around while you watch Jihun." Youta says as he adjusts his mask. Hachiro nods and mutters an agreement. Youta offers a smile underneath his mask and turns back to Juro "We'll see you around."
