[ Despite being interrupted, there's no part of him which feels annoyed. With the adrenaline rush still running high, his lips thin out to a smile as he confirms the question with a nod. ]

Guess so!

[ Not as if he'd known that either; he expected their shuffle unit to perform in some smaller stage, even in the middle of the casino. (Really, wherever garnered the most attention.) Now they know there's real theatre here, booking a performance there will be much better.

Somewhere, Shu Itsuki is horrified by Jun butchering the French language, which, really would be mortifying to hear but can't be helped. He doesn't speak French and has no intention of ever speaking French! And the reason why he'd run here wasn't due to him wanting to invite Hiyori "as a friend," but as a date.

Perhaps it isn't the biggest deal in the world, or running here seemed over the top, but when asking someone on a date for the first time (and if he knew any better, he'd realise all those other times had been dates), you should ask them in person. As he's finished, another twinge of pink colours his cheeks, which he confirms with another nod.

Trying to play it cool, acting as if Hiyori hadn't just accepted his invitation, his smile brightens further, almost to the point where it begins to hurt his cheeks. He had heard that right, hadn't he? This wasn't some elaborate dream or prank? Doesn't seem to be. ]

Nah, don't think I'm moving up, 'cause in the real world, they'd invite you instead. I just got lucky this time, Ohii-san, but being really honest, there's no one else I'd wanna invite, not just as a friend but a date.

[ And yes, this has to be the first time he's thought of anything they've done together as a date. ]

So you'd wanna go together...? Okay, alright. I dunno if there's gonna be a theme or what, but I'm sure we'll figure it out ♪
