Teehee♪ Hehe♪

Which one should I wear?

Saki, can I come in?

Sure♪

I just wanted to ask...

Whoa, why are your clothes all over the place?

Are you going to start a fashion show?

No, I'm just picking out what to wear for a date.

A...date?!

D-D-Date?!

I shouldn't be so shocked... You're not a little girl any

more.

Whatever you choose, you have my full support. Follow

your heart!

What? Tsukasa, why are you giving me a dad speech?

Besides, it's just a date with my girlfriends!

Ah, you're just going out with your bandmates?

So, you wanted to ask me something?

Yes, about your plans for the next weekend. Our parents are

going to be away on a trip.

I'm doing a show then, so I won't be home either. I was

worried about leaving you home alone, in case something

happened.

Well, you don't have to worry, because I'm going out with

my bandmates on Saturday.

Great, so you'll have company.

And anyway, you worry too much! The doctor said I was fine.

Well, yes but...

I am fine! You can go out and enjoy your weekend without

being so concerned about me.

Okay, if you're sure. Just... Remember to look both ways

before you cross the road!

I will!

Tsukasa is such a worrywart.

Hmm... It would be terrible if I did end up feeling unwell

on the day of our outing, though.

As much as I enjoy the sports club and my job, I should take

it easy. I'll go to bed early today.

Okay, team. Time to go home!

See you later!

Hi, Saki. Did you have soft tennis?

Yeah. And you had home ec club? Let's walk home together!

Sure!

So in the end, I decided I'll wear the shorts I bought the

other day, and I'll pair them with...

Huh?

Your face looks really flushed.

What? Really?

I don't feel like I'm running a fever. Maybe I applied too

much blush?

I don't think that's it... Just to be safe, maybe you should

check your temperature when you get back home.

Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks.

I'm sure it's nothing, though! My base temperature's

naturally a little higher than average.

(What if I do have a fever? I've been feeling kind of

spacey, now that I think about it.)

(No matter. A good night's sleep will make it go away.)

Oof...

(Hona was right, I had a temperature. I better head back

home early and make sure I get plenty of rest.)

Hmm? It's from my boss? Can anyone cover these shifts?

I thought the next month's schedule wouldn't be up for

a while. Why are they already looking to cover shifts?

Ms. Yamada's kid has caught the flu, and she had to

urgently take a week off from work. Whaaat?!

Please let me know ASAP if you can take any of her shifts.

It looks like they're struggling with finding someone to

cover Saturday, but that's the day we're going to the

observatory.

Well, I'm busy on that day...

H-Hello, it's Saki speaking.

I'm sorry about the sudden call. Have you seen my message?

Ms. Yamada's not coming in this week. Could you cover her

shift on Saturday?

I'm sorry, but I can't do Saturday...

What about today? I've got someone who can take the

Saturday shift if you can swap with them today.

Um...

(I'll probably be okay if I make sure to pace myself. They

really need my help.)

Yes, I think I can make it today!

Really?! Thank you! You're a life-saver!

I'll head over now!

Hey, Saki. You don't have your sports club today, right?

Are you going home now?

Sorry, Ichi! I have to cover someone's shift at the cafe.

I've got to run, or I won't make it. Bye!

Oh, okay...

I have to hurry!

Saki?

Where was she running off to?

I'll have to remind her again to take it easy.

Sigh... I really have no luck today. Why did it have

to be so busy at work?

It feels like my temperature's gotten a

little higher, too...

Maybe I should cancel band practice tomorrow...

If I don't go, our day trip to the observatory may be

canceled, too...

I have to buckle down and somehow make it to Saturday.
