...de... Kanade...

Mhm...

Kanade, shouldn't you get up soon?

Hm...?

Huh? Mafuyu...? What are you doing here...?

I knocked, but you didn't answer.

It's time.

Time...? Oh...

(We're going to Ena's dad's exhibit today...!)

I-I'm sorry! I'll get up now...!

Did you stay up all night working again...?

Y-Yes. I was trying to find a good place to stop, but I sort of lost track of time...

I'm sorry.

Just give me a second to get ready.

Okay.

Mafuyu? Is something wrong?

Your hair's a mess.

Huh...?

I'm sorry about making you help me get ready. I didn't realize my hair was such a mess...

It's okay. I'm just glad we were able to fix it.

You did all the work, Mafuyu.

I can't really see the back of my head, so thank you for straightening it all out.

You're welcome.

We ended up leaving the house a little late, but I'm glad that it looks like we'll still be able to meet up with Mizuki on time.

I'm guessing it worked out since we planned to get there a bit early.

True.

But I had to get ready in a hurry.

I hope I didn't forget to bring anything...

You should be fine as long as you have the essentials, like your phone and wallet.

Good point.

Let's see... My phone and wallet are...

Thank goodness. They're right here.

Still, a solo exhibit...

I remember being a little surprised when I first heard that her dad's a famous artist. I mean, I immediately recognized his name...

Me too.

Have you ever seen any of his works before, Mafuyu?

Just a few.

My mom's a fan of his.

Oh...

Sh-She is...? I didn't know...

(She doesn't seem too bothered by that...)

(Thank goodness.)

We need to take a right up here.

Oh, okay.

Come to think of it, Ena also stayed up late working last night. I hope she was able to get up this morning.

I just hope she didn't oversleep like you did, Kanade.

Urgh... M-Me too...

Still, it's been so long since I last went to an art exhibit. And this one's by Ena's dad...

I'm really looking forward to it.

Me too.
