...

(That should be everything I need...)

(Now I just need to leave the house...)

But I'll get there too early if I leave now...

(Why is that...?

I'd be leaving more or less at my usual time.)

...

(I could have breakfast... But I'm not all that hungry.)

Oh...

(Right. I always had breakfast with Mom before I left until now. That must be why I have some extra time on my hands...)

Mhm... Morning, Mafuyu...

Oh, you're awake. Good morning...

*Nod*

I wanted to get an early start today...

*Yawn*

You still seem sleepy...

Mhm... I'm okay...

Would you like some breakfast?

That should help you become fully awake.

Good idea...

Ms. Mochizuki has been saying that I need to eat more properly...

What about you, Mafuyu?

Me...?

Okay, I'll have a quick bite...

Then, I'll start getting everything ready.

Let's see... First, I need to put out some plates...

Then, I need to take the food Ms. Mochizuki made out of the fridge...

And then...

I'll do that...

Wait, but...

It'll be faster that way.

O-Okay...

These look like the boiled greens... This looks like that fish and vegetable stew...

I'll grab some plates for them, heat up the fish and...

The rice...

Oh...

It hasn't been made.

Oh, I'm sorry...

I'll have some toast instead...

O-Okay. Then, I'm sure you'll want some jam to go with that. Where did I put them...?

The jam should be on that shelf.

The butter's towards the top of the refrigerator, so I'll grab that as well.

Why don't you go wash your face in the meantime?

Oh, okay. In that case, I'll be right back.

Okay, see you in a little bit.

All done...

Oh, so are you.

*Nod*

Huh...?

I-I'm really sorry... I didn't mean for you to get everything ready for us.

All I had to do was heat up the food.

Anyway, let's start eating.

Oh, right... You have to get to school.

Then...

Let's eat.

Mmm... This is delicious.

It's brimming with vegetables.

Yes, this is nice since I don't usually eat many when left to my own devices.

I think Mochizuki made this because she wants you to eat healthier, Kanade.

I noticed that most of the dishes she made has vegetables.

I'm guessing that's because you rely only on instant noodles.

Yes, you may be right...

I should thank her the next chance I get.

Please do.

Oh, also...

What time do you think you'll be returning from school today?

I have to go to club today, so I may not be back for a little while...

You have club today?

Then, I'll make it so you can take a bath right when you get back.

Thank you...

I'll be working as usual, so please let me know if you need anything.

I will...

...

(What is this sensation...?)

I've felt it before. But where?

Oh...

It's like that one time...

(Things aren't as lively as they were at that time...)

(But it feels similar...)

I'm full. That was nice.

Me too. That was delicious...

You didn't have much, Mafuyu? Are you sure that's going to be enough?

Yes, since I wasn't actually all that hungry.

But I'm glad we got to have breakfast together.

Me too.

Would you like some tea...?

Yes, that sounds nice.

Oh, let me help you this time.
