[ Hilda and Alyssa advise Hishi to talk to her friend, Kaiza, first. She agrees—she will mention that he's stupid in a lot of ways, but he does know how to get along with people, so maybe his advice will be invaluable.
Meanwhile, Hansa and Emet-Selch advise Kaiza to tell Hishi the truth, but make sure Riu is there.
What exactly happens during that confrontation will be known to them, but... both children return home content!
When Hishi comes back, she's smiling—not the awkward smirk, but a real, glowing smile this time. Looks like she can smile just fine if she's not doing it deliberately! She'll tell Hilda and Alyssa that she's friends with Riu, and it's not a misunderstanding now. Well, unless she ever deliberately gives Riu her spot as top in the class, because Riu has threatened to cancel their friendship if she doesn't give it her all and acknowledge her as a rival, but that's fine. Hishi is very happy!! It's all thanks to Hilda and Alysa and Kaiza, whoever the heck that kid is.
When Kaiza comes back, he looks utterly relieved. He'll tell Hansa and Emet-Selch that he seriously considered lying to Hishi, but it was probably a good thing that he didn't. In the end, Hishi wasn't that upset over what Riu did, and was glad to understand why Riu was angry at her (or rather, that Riu was even angry to begin with, because Hishi sure didn't pick up on that). There were a lot of misunderstandings involved, but now that she and Riu talked it out, he thinks they'll get along from now on. He's very happy for Hishi (he has been trying so hard to help improve her people skills), and considers this a major milestone for her.
Happy ending to this preteen drama, while some people here probably hope they don't have to deal with this again. With that said, maybe what happened here will spark more feelings in the future...? ]
