Welcome home, Mafuyu.
Do you get your finals back?
(I'm afraid of what she's going to say when she sees that my grades are starting to slip.)
(Not just say... What she might do...)
(And I have another mock exam coming up.)
(Doing well on that might make up for how I did on my finals...)
If I can do that...
I need to study...
(But Mom might worry if I don't get enough sleep... Then, my only other choice is to study at school during my breaks...)
Oh...
(If I do that, my lunch break will...)
<Mafuyu! I just had an idea...>
<What if you logged onto Nightcord to work on stuff while you're at school during lunch?>
<I know not being able to talk is gonna be tough, Yuki, but let's try to get as much done as we can!>
<She'll be fine.
I mean, she doesn't talk much to begin with.>
<Conversely, Enanan, you don't know when to stop.>
<Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!
We need to communicate if we want to produce good content, right?!>
<Hehe...>
...
(If I don't do well on my next exam...)
(That means I need to study during lunch...)
(And I should let the others know...)
<I'm sorry, but I need to take a break from N25 for a while...>
(I won't be able to talk with them until I've finished taking my next exam... I won't be able to work on any music...)
(I... I don't want to send this message... I want to keep making music with them...)
Huff... Huff...
(I can't breathe...)
The window...
I should open the window and...
...
*Gasp*
Mafuyu, do you have a minute?
Y-Yes, come in.
I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you'd like to take a bath first or have dinner... Oh?
Your window's open. Is something wrong...?
Oh, no... I just felt like getting some fresh air...
I see...
Yes...
Anyway...
A bath or dinner? I think I'll have dinner first. I'm actually feeling hungry all of a sudden.
Hehe. Okay.
Then, I'll get everything ready.
It shouldn't take long, so please get changed sooner rather than later.
I will. I'm looking forward to dinner.
(Thank goodness I was able to hide my phone in time...)
Huh...?
My message got sent...?
(Did I press send by accident while trying to hide my phone...? Wait, I should still have time to delete it...)
<A while? How long are we talking here?>
<Do you need some extra time to study?>
<I probably won't be able to join you all until my next mock exam is over.>
<I'm sorry.>
<It's okay. You don't need to apologize. I'll at least be working, so I can just stay logged into Nightcord starting tomorrow so that you can join whenever.>
<Yeah, me too♪ You don't necessarily have to get a lot done, so come hang out anytime!>
<Then, I think I'll stay logged on too.
Come online whenever you feel like it, okay?>
...
<Thank you.
I'll try to log on if I have time.>
...
I should get changed...
