Two days later, after some begging from Mina to her teacher, Reia, Aizawa, and some other students left on another trip. This time, Reia decided to take them to Central Park. It was a little further than the mall that she had taken the other students to, but she knew it would be worth it for them to go today.

After parallel parking next to the area, they all got out of the car and started towards the inside. Mina bounded up towards the front of the group in excitement. She was happy to finally be out, especially since she lost the rock, paper, scissors game for the last trip. Taking the hand of Yaoyarozu and Jiro, she led them further towards the front.

After another round of rock, paper, scissors, the ones who won were Yaoyarozu, Koda, Tokoyami, and Shoji. Iida had actually won one of the games, but he decided to stay back and go another day since Yaoyarozu was already going.

"It is my duty as Class Representative to watch over everyone!" he had said.

So Reia invited Jiro to come along.

"But I already went the last time," she told Reia.

The girl was right, but Reia insisted.

"I think you're going to enjoy this more."

So now it comes to Jiro being dragged by Mina with Yaoyarozu, the eccentric pink girl taking no time to rest as she explored the area. There were a lot of people out today, so the park was little crowded. Some families took pictures underneath trees, others having a picnic underneath. There were also some people painting the landscape, some of their pictures half finished while others were just starting.

Jiro noted some music playing in the distance.

"Ooh~, what is this?!" Mina asked with sparkling eyes. She led Jiro and Yaoyarozu over towards a booth off to the side. It had a blue tent top serving as cover from the sun, though the weather was a little colder since it's near winter time. On the side, there was a large board displaying some sort of art. By the looks of it, it was some portraits of people sitting on the chair or doing poses. Next to it was a person drawing on a notebook, and sitting on a chair was a girl, her other friends surrounding her doing poses.

"Ooh, let's do this!" Mina said.

After a few seconds, the group's picture was finally finished, and the man gave it to them before turning to Mina, Yaoyarozu, and Jiro.

"Would you like me to draw you?" he asked.

Mina and Jiro looked at each other in confusion. Before they could say anything though, Yaoyarozu turned to him and nodded.

"Yes please."

"Group, or single?"

"Hey!" Reia called out.

The three female students turned, and they saw Reia running up to them. The rest of the group weren't far behind, though they were still walking instead and took in their surroundings, Koda especially. As Reia got up next to them, the man had turned to her with a small greeting. She smiled and responded back before turning to the three students, more specifically Mina.

"Ashido, I know you're excited, but you shouldn't get too far ahead. Don't forget your other classmates are with you. They want to enjoy the trip as much as you do too."

At the realization, the pink girl laughed sheepishly, small apologies coming out of her mouth. Eventually, the other three students plus Aizawa were able to catch up. Once they were there, the man in front cleared his throat, turning the attention back to him.
