As Kazuha seen Hakuba approaching her she crossed her arms over her chest tightly and began to mumble furiously under her breath. “Wha’d ya want?" Kazuha’s demeanor, however, changed entirely upon hearing his proposition.
"U-Uh, thanks Hakuba-kun" Kazuha said softly uncrossing her arms and staring directly at him – trying to figure out just what he was up to. "I-I, uh.." Kazuha was hesitant in her answer, she hadn’t known Hakuba’s full intentions and knew of his rivalry with Heiji. She contemplated it for a moment and figured being with Hakuba-kun was better than spending the day alone.
"I guess I’d have ta go with a flip" Kazuha finally spit out – admitting defeat against the ridiculous spell and taking Hakuba-kun’s offer as a kind gesture instead of a malicious intent. Though it hadn’t meant she’d fully trusted him and would definitely be mindful of what she’d said around him.
"I don’t really know much ’bout phones in general which is why I usually take Heiji, he’s better at figuring that sorta thin’ out. I just go fer what’s cute!" Kazuha replied earnestly laughing lightly as she gripped the base of her pony tail with both hands and tugged at it – making it firm and bouncy. "I have 19636.72 yen ta spend!"
Well, at least she was enthusiastic. No wonder Hattori-san liked her. Hakuba smiled, faintly pained, mostly patient, and nodded to her responses.
"A flip phone should be rather easy to procure within that price range, especially one with the styling as you’ve mentioned. Many are made with the female shopper in mind, and can be found in a variety of designs to please any pallet. That said, I suggest that we go straight way to the mall to begin our search.”
Hakuba considered the pricing, and began to formulate a mental list of all of the features the latest flip phones had. What would a girl like Toyama-chan need that she might not think of herself? Hm.
