*Sigh*
Another exhausting day...!
I'll probably fall asleep if I close my eyes right now.
Okay...
Just a little bit more to go until our show.
I have to do my best and make sure I spread hope to everyone who attends!
Minori! The bath's ready!
Oh... Okay!
Alright, I should feel really refreshed after taking a nice, relaxing bath!!
Wah...!!
O-O...
Owww!!
Minori?!
Minori?!
I heard you shout! What happened?!
M-My pinky... I jammed it and...
*Sigh*
You're always such a klutz...
A-Always?! But lately...
Yeah, yeah. Just try to be more careful, okay...?
H-Hey! You could show a little more compassion...!
Oh, you...
Your show's in a few days, so you really do need to be more careful. Here, let me take a look.
Okay...
But it should be fine as long as I ice it.
Yes, that appears to be the case.
Then, make sure to do just that after you've taken your bath.
*Sigh*
Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious. You really do seem to have no manner of luck when it comes to these sorts of situations, Minori.
At the same time...
Why is it that you seem to be more unlucky than the rest of us?
Oh, that's easy.
She takes after you, honey. I mean, you can be so careless sometimes.
Me?
I say she got it from you, dear.
What? Me?
Minori told me herself.
This one time when everyone from her group came to visit, you accidentally served them orange juice even when you just told them it was tea.
Oh, now that you mention it...
Minori, what do idols usually like to drink? Coffee? Tea? Or something more exquisite that I've never heard of...?
Conversely, I could just serve water...
Uhh... They're coming over as friends, so juice should be fine.
That's true.
Then, how does orange juice sound?
Sounds good! Thanks, Mom!
Thank you all for coming over to visit today. Here, please have some tea.
Wait, didn't we agree on orange juice?
Yes, this is orange juice.
Huh? But you just said tea...
Hm? Oh no! Look at me! Hehe...
M-Mooom!!
(Haruka and the others thought that she was just trying to be funny... But I felt a little embarrassed by what she did...)
What if I told you that your father was feeling very anxious that day?
Really? I knew he was home since he had a day off, but I didn't see him at all.
Oh, about that...
Hehe. Your father was so busy preparing himself to greet Haruka and the others.
Even though he was off that day, he put on his suit and practiced saying, “Please take good care of my daughter.”
What?!
Wh-What's wrong with that?
I was just trying to be polite. You know, as her parent?
But he became so focused on practicing that they all left before he could even say anything to them.
No, I just realized that being too formal would make things incredibly awkward.
D-Dad...
(I had no idea about any of that...
Thank goodness he decided against it.)
I guess you're both quite careless...
Tell your father that.
Tell your mother that.
Huh...?
Hm...?
Hehe.
Huh? You guys are all still here...?
Also, Minori, your show's in a few days. Shouldn't you ice that thing like now?
*Gasp*
