NOISY FUTURE: 09/10/2030, 12:00



Here, we have another blue branch with Yuuri and Mashiro, with one at 7 and the other at 8, respectively.



Okey dokey, lunchtime~ Let's eat together, Natsuhiko.



I'm starving. Let's go get ourselves some food.

Though Mashiro would come to the Tenkawa residence to make breakfast, she didn't prepare boxed lunches. When she offered to do so, Natsuhiko politely declined out of his concern for appearances.

So what do you feel like today? Should we go out to buy something? Or just stick with the cafeteria?
Hmm~ if we go now, I'm sure the cafeteria will be too crowded. So let's go out and buy something instead.
Roger that.



♪ BGM: Quiet Days of Rokumei City

During lunch break, students would huddle up and chat in the classrooms and the courtyard. You could hear voices coming from every which way just by walking down the corridor.

Man, it sure is hectic today.
A little too hectic for my tastes...

In this school, you could hear all sorts of conversations, regardless of distance. --Like this particular dramatic tension of youth, for example.



--Or those trying to use BC for an advantage in sports.



--Or those using untargeted BC to have their voices heard by the masses, even though they knew it was wrong.





--Or even private talks that should be best kept to oneself.



Many such voices rang out directly in Natsuhiko and Mashiro's brains. --Telepathy is, by nature, an ability to convey one's voice to specific individuals. However, Communicators inexperienced with telepathy often end up accidentally sending mass untargeted messages.

...School sure is noisy today.
You think so? It's always like this.

True enough, these were familiar sights and sounds for students of this school. It's the logical consequence of attending a Communicator-exclusive school, but...

(Still, reckless usage of BC isn't commendable at all.)

Abuse of untargeted telepathy was prohibited as it was an issue of bad manners. But said prohibition was not necessarily upheld, however. Just then, as if to answer Natsuhiko's prayers, an announcement was broadcast school-wide.



We've been receiving complaints that they can hear you all from outside the school!

And immediately after the announcement ended, the BC traffic around the school came to a screeching halt.

Silence at last, huh...
Geez. Their telepathy was leaking all over the place. This school's full of amateurs.
Somehow, after what happened this morning, I don't think you should be talking.

And with that conversation, Natsuhiko and Mashiro left to buy food.
