Alright, let's meet up with Arata and the others, and go find Uncle Taiga!
Okay!
*Sigh*
He's really heading back to the US. It feels too soon...
Yeah...
When I first heard that he'd be heading back to the US to go on tour, I didn't realize just how famous an artist he really is.
Yeah, as famous as he is, I'm having a hard time telling what he's like as a “professional”.
Oh, isn't Nagi also in the United States right now? Is she going to tour with him?
Dunno. It didn't sound like they were doing anything together.
Oh, I know! I can ask Uncle Taiga to ask her to come back to Japan if she ever gets some free time!
If I tell her that I'm in a team now, she'll definitely want to come see us!
I hope I get to meet her too.
I really want to ask her about what you were like when you were little, An.
What?! No! Nuh-uh! She's totally gonna say the most embarrassing things about me!
Oh? In other words, there's a lot of stuff that you don't want us knowing about.
Huh? Uh, no! What are you talking about?! Anyway, let's get going!
Oh...
An? Is something wrong?
Oh, so... See that little shop over there? I just remembered how Aunt Nagi and I used to go there a lot together.
That could be because we were just talking about her.
Just so you know, we don't have time to take any detours.
Yeah, I know.
(I still go there occasionally, but I always find myself reminiscing whenever I do...)
Well, if it isn't Nagi and An.
Come on in!
Oh, is it true that your husband got hurt? Is he okay?
Him? Are you talking about how he got scratched by a cat?
Huh? A cat?
I heard that his hand was wrapped in bandages. Does that mean...?
Oh, that. He wouldn't stop whining, so I decided to wrap up his hand like a mummy.
I mean, he's a grown man for crying out loud. But he wouldn't stop complaining about this tiny cut on the back of his hand.
Haha! I had no idea!
Thank goodness...!
He always likes to listen to me sing, so I was really worried when I didn't see him yesterday!
Thank you both for being so kind, Nagi, An.
Still, you two are so close. I see you all the time together. You're almost like sisters.
Sisters...? That seems like a stretch considering how much older I am than her.
And you treat me like your own daughter because you've known me since I was little... But remember, I'm all grown up now.
What? If you're such a grown-up, Aunt Nagi, why'd you take my snacks away from me?
Oh? Have you been a naughty girl, Nagi?
No, you're getting the wrong idea! I won them from her fair and square!
Also, An, you agreed to our little bet knowing what could happen. No takesies-backsies!
Grr... But you said you'd double what I had if I won...
It's your own fault for getting greedy.
Also, I only took half and gave you the rest, didn't I? See, I did the grown-up thing!
How does that count as being a grown-up?!
Haha! You two really are inseparable.
Why don't you two stay for some snacks? It'll be my way of thanking you both for showing so much concern for my husband.
Wow, really?!
Just mention snacks and it's hook, line and sinker...
Hmph. You're not getting any, Aunt Nagi.
Oh, don't say that.
Same offer. I'll double what you get if you beat me at rock paper scissors.
I'm not falling for that again.
Hehe...
Haha!
An...?
We're gonna leave you behind if you keep spacing out like that.
Wait, sorry.
I was just reminiscing a bit!
About Nagi?
Yeah.
Oh, you gotta hear about the time she...
