Hm? A chat notification...?
From Mafuyu...?
<K, what are you doing now?>
Um...
<I'm working on our song.>
<Okay.>
...
(No response...
Am I forgetting something?)
For now, I should just get back to work and...
Oh, Ms. Mochizuki...
No, wait...
She isn't supposed to be here until the day after tomorrow.
Nothing I ordered online is scheduled to arrive today...
Oh, I'm coming...!
Thank you for your patience...
M-Mafuyu...?!
This is a thank you for the other day.
Huh...? Oh, instant noodles and apples...?
Yes.
Th-Thank you.
You came all this way to bring me these?
There's that and...
I may've left my student ID in your room, Kanade. Would you mind if I tried looking for it?
Yes, of course...
It's a bit messy right now but...
I didn't notice the other day, but you keep so many things in here...
Yes, I do. I hope we find your ID...
You haven't seen it?
No, I don't think so. I usually only ever look at sheet music, so nothing like that has caught my eye.
Still, your room really is a mess...
...
Can I take a look?
Yes, I'll help too.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised that you remembered where I live. You really looked awful when I brought you over that time.
I don't remember what happened between the park and here, but my mind was much clearer when I headed home...
Yes, I see... Oh...
Is this it, Mafuyu?
Yes...
Thank you.
Thank goodness we found it so quickly.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're the guest here. I should offer to pour you some tea...
Oh...
That's okay, really...
Let's see... How does Ms. Mochizuki usually prepare her tea?
Start by putting a kettle on...
Wait, I think she warms up the cups with hot water... That means I have to boil some water first and...
Kanade, why don't you put those down for now? I'd hate to see you drop those cups.
Huh? Oh, right.
...
(She keeps staring at me... Is something bothering her?)
Next, I need to put some tea leaves in the pot... Three scoops, I think?
You should bring that teapot closer to yourself. If you don't, you'll spill the tea.
Hm? Oh, okay.
One... Two... And three.
Oh, the water's boiling.
Now I need to warm up the cups...
You don't have to go that far.
This tea also tastes better when it's steeped in very hot water.
Oh, I see. Then I should pour it in now. Where'd my teapot go...?
Kanade. You don't need to hold the kettle in one hand and the teapot in the other. You'll burn yourself.
Oh, that's right. I don't think I've ever seen Ms. Mochizuki do that.
If you pour too much, it'll spill out...
Huh? R-Right.
It's just the two of us, so I guess I don't need to make that much.
(Was I having that much trouble...?)
Here you are, Mafuyu.
It's very hot, so please be careful...
Thank you.
Huh?! M-Mafuyu, I just said that it's still really hot...!
I'll be fine.
Won't you burn your tongue...?
You should wait until it's cooled down a little.
Okay.
*Blow*
...
This tea's flavored too.
It's supposed to smell and taste like apples...
I see...
I guess you still can't tell yet...
(I hope someday that Mafuyu gets to enjoy these things the way the rest of us do...)
