Unfortunately for Tomoyo, the competition was not yet done when she had to go back to her class. The first day of the competition had already ended before she went to the kendo club so she would only be able to watch the replay when she got home.
"Are you ready to go?" Hikaru saw Tomoyo exiting the club's dojo and asked.
*nod*
"Your grandparents told me that you usually go to the dojo with a friend from Akaryuu School and asked if we can pick her up on the way." Hikaru smiled as they walked towards the neighboring school.
Hikaru didn't mind that Tomoyo didn't respond with her voice all the time. Though she wasn't aware of just how much progress she made by making this girl use her voice, Hikaru wanted to let this innocent student of hers slowly understand and get used to using her voice. This was why she would usually converse with her in a way that would not let her respond with her gestures.
