Love Is War: The Detour Adventure

Kaguya

The cultural festival budget needs further review before we return from the museum.

Kaguya

(I can't waste a single minute, even on a field trip. President Shirogane would use this time efficiently.)

Hayasaka

Kaguya-sama, perhaps you might enjoy looking out the window instead of working? Field trips are meant for enjoyment.

Hayasaka

The museum will still be there when we arrive, documents in hand or not.

Kaguya

Wait... rice paddies? The art museum is downtown, not in the countryside.

Kaguya

Is this the correct route? I've memorized all major roadways in the district.

Hayasaka

No signal. We must be quite far from the city.

Hayasaka

The driver seems to be following an outdated map. Classic school system efficiency.

Kaguya

(This is unacceptable! I have a strict schedule to maintain!)

Kaguya

What's that terrible noise? The bus shouldn't be making that sound!

Hayasaka

Looks like we've arrived somewhere, just not where we intended.

Hayasaka

Fujiwara would call this "a fated detour" or something equally ridiculous.

Kaguya

A mechanical failure? In this remote location? This is a disaster!

Kaguya

How long until repairs? I have a council meeting at four!

Hayasaka

The driver says at least three hours for repairs. Parts need to be delivered from the city.

Hayasaka

The other students are already exploring. Shall we join them?

Kaguya

(This disrupts all my plans. How can I review the cultural festival proposal? What about my strategy to outsmart Shirogane today?)

Kaguya

I can't just wander aimlessly! Every minute is precisely scheduled!

Hayasaka

Kaguya-sama, this might be good for you. When was the last time you experienced something unplanned?

Hayasaka

Consider it fieldwork on how ordinary people live. Useful knowledge for a future Shinomiya leader.

Kaguya

I've never visited such a... rustic place without a formal schedule and security detail.

Kaguya

(How do common people navigate these situations without meticulous planning?)

Hayasaka

Look, they're setting up for a festival! Those lanterns are handmade, not the mass-produced ones in the city.

Hayasaka

Let's check it out, Kaguya-sama. Consider it cultural research.

Kaguya

(Is this what normal high school students experience? Unexpected detours and... spontaneity?)

Kaguya

I suppose a brief observation wouldn't severely impact my schedule...

Hayasaka

Try this, Kaguya-sama. Real takoyaki made by a local family, not your chef.

Hayasaka

I promise it won't kill you, despite not being prepared in a sterile Shinomiya kitchen.

Kaguya

(This is... actually delicious. So this is what street food tastes like.)

Kaguya

The flavor profile is... unexpectedly complex for such simple ingredients.
