[If there are rumors circulating on the Internet about his indiscretions with girls, or his tendency to hold hands publicly with another boy, well, Hiyori hasn't paid enough attention to know. He's never had boys tag along on one of these dates, though. There are boys at school who send him heavy stares full of admiration and envy, and plenty who try to kiss up to him. There are also those who hope to use him for their own gain—like Tsumugi, for instance. But none of them have asked to come along on dates, and he wouldn't know what to say to one who did. He'd probably give a cheerful nope! before he could even consider it; having another man around might spoil the mood and upset the girls.

This, however, should be fine. The first-year boy is too non-threatening and cute to bother those girls. They'll probably see him as an adorable little brother, a cute girlfriend, or something else along those lines. Yep, nothing to worry about.]

Yep, I could tell just from looking at you!

[It's... more a reference to how shy and awkward Aira was acting; not a knock on his looks, which are cute enough. As usual, though, Hiyori doesn't clarify.]

Not to worry. All we were doing is shopping, so your inexperience shouldn't pose any problems. We'll rejoin the girls in a minute. But first, have you seen anything you like? Don't worry about the price—I have plenty of funds to treat everyone with. Ah, but I haven't looked for myself yet, so maybe I'll browse here too?

[And here he turns his attention from Aira to the nearest clothes rack.]
