Mafuyu, your dad should be coming over soon. Which tea do you think I should make today?

...

Mafuyu...?

Oh...

Sorry, what did you just say...?

So, I was just thinking about brewing some tea. We have chamomile and a bunch of other varieties.

Anything will do...

Are you feeling anxious...?

I know that...

I know that I should go home...

And if I don't, my dad has to keep...

It's okay for you to take things slow, Mafuyu.

And I think he's allowing you to stay here because he feels the same way.

...

Oh, that might be him...

I'll go check...

(I feel like I've been resting for too long. It's been two hours since Dad left...)

(Should I have told him those things...?)

(I even told him how I couldn't taste that cake...)

I should eat it sooner rather than later...

But Kanade might be working right now...

Let's eat.

The tea's very hot...

Thank you.

Do you feel better after resting...?

*Nod*

...

Is something on your mind, Mafuyu?

Kind of...

Umm...

Are you worried about telling him how you couldn't taste this cake?

Yes...

He said he wanted to know how I really felt...

But that might've just caused him to worry even more...

I mean...

Your dad has every right to be surprised after hearing that...

But he also said that he'll be back to see you again next week...

...

So, for now, I think you should feel good about telling him.

Okay...
