Whew, I'm stuffed...

And you shoved all of your carrots onto my plate...

Don't forget that we have a guest, you two. Try to keep it down.

Again, Mafuyu, I'm very sorry about how heated things got between these two.

No, it felt like a lively discussion since I'm an only child.

Yeah, I guess you don't have anyone to argue with as an only child. Why couldn't I have been one too?

That's my line.

Oh, actually... I'm not sure if we had the cleaners do the guest bedding. I think it's still sitting in the closet...

Oh, right.

It's been forever since Airi last came over. The pillow's probably completely squished.

That's okay, really.

You don't have to mind me.

You must have nerves of steel if you don't care about sleeping on a flat pillow. That'd bother me way too much.

She's just being polite.

But I appreciate your modesty, Mafuyu.

Also, the bath should be ready soon, so why don't you go first? In the meantime, we'll get your bed ready.

Th-Thank you very much...

But is it really okay for me to...?

Don't worry about us.

I mean, you're one of the very few friends Ena has.

Also, it's best to go before Ena since it's always impossible to tell when she's going to be done.

I don't take that long!

Quit giving her all these wrong ideas about me.

Hehe. In that case, I'll go first.

Wait! The shampoo in the front's mine, so don't use it. The one in the back is Mom's so, use hers!

Why can't you just let her use yours...?

Because it's really expensive!

Okay, the one in the back. Got it.

I'll be right out.

Seriously, why's she friends with you...?

FYI, I'm usually the one taking care of her!

What? There's no way that's true.

Ugh... Akito's saying all this stuff without understanding what Mafuyu's actually like...

(To be fair, he probably wouldn't believe me if I told him about what's behind her honor student persona...)

<H-Hello...? Ena?>

Oh, Len, hi. Sorry, I didn't realize you were still here.

Mafuyu's taking a bath right now.

She should be out soon.

<Okay...

So, how's Mafuyu doing...?>

Hm? Hmm... I'm having a hard time telling as usual... So, no different from normal?

<Okay... That's good to hear.>

Anyway...

I need to come up with some ideas for my assignment before Mafuyu gets back...

<What assignment...?>

For art class.

It's been giving me a lot of trouble.

<Art...?>

<Can I see what you've drawn, Ena...?>

<No, wait. I'm sorry...

You need to work right now...>

I'm drawing a blank right now, so I don't mind if it's just for a bit.

Also, it's really nothing special...

Oh, what if I showed you what I've drawn in my sketchbook?

Let's see... Here's a sketch of a flower vase. This one's of a wolf that I saw when I was little. And here's some stuff that I drew for N25.

<Wow, so many drawings...!

You're a really good artist, Ena.>

Huh? I'm nothing special, really...

<I'd love to see more...

Do you have any other drawings?>

Alright, then...

This is of one of my friends who's an idol now. She's really nice, super cute and has such a cheerful personality.

Oh, I have drawings of Kanade and the others too.

<Oh, it's Miku..!

She has such a gentle-looking smile on her face.>

<Thank you for showing me these, Ena. They're all really good, but I think I liked the ones of everybody the most...>

Hehe. Thanks.

Oh, Len, want me to draw you?

<Huh? M-Me...? I dunno...

I think I'll get really jittery if you do...>

<Wait, what about Mafuyu...?>

Huh? Mafuyu?

<Y-Yeah. She's really calm and collected, so she'd be easier to draw compared to me, right...?>

I guess she wouldn't get nervous or jittery.

But Mafuyu? As a model...?

Ena, I've finished taking my bath.

...? Is something wrong?

Hmm... Yeah, drawing you could be good practice.

Mafuyu, let me do a sketch of you.

Me? Why...?

<Oh, I asked her to.

It's just... I want to see what Ena's drawing of you would look like.>

Of me...?

<Yeah. That is, unless you don't want to...>

...

I don't mind...

Alright. Then, we'll get started after I take my bath.

Okay...
