Let's see...

I think we've checked out every stall around here now.

Yeah.

Oh, that looks like a place where we can rest. Can we take a quick break...?

Yes, I'd like that as well...

I'm actually getting a little thirsty.

Okay!

Phew... Thank goodness we found a place where we can sit.

I know, right...?

But it hasn't been that long since we took our last break.

These two are a bit lacking in terms of stamina.

I'll go grab some drinks from that stall. Any requests?

Thank you.

Umm... Anything is fine. Water, tea...

Same.

I also don't have any preferences.

Actually, should I go with you?

No, I should be fine since I'm going just over there! Anyway, I'll be right back.

Thanks.

Kanade...?

You seem happy for some reason.

I'm happy to see Mizuki enjoying the festival like this...

Huh...?

Oh, umm... I didn't really mean anything by that...

But based on the conversations we've been having while working recently, I feel like Mizuki's been a little low on energy.

Oh...

(Come to think of it, Mizuki hasn't really been participating much in many of our recent conversations.)

(Is it because of that...?)

(I didn't get to hear Mizuki say that since it was over chat, but something seemed a little off for some reason...)

(But I guess that's only natural...)

(Mizuki's been dealing with this issue for basically ever with no help from anybody else.)

(After all that toiling and toiling and toiling, I'm being asked to hear what I'm guessing is gonna be the whole truth...)

(I have no idea what I'm going to hear...)

(But this is the school festival, so I'd rather have my friend enjoy it instead of worrying about all that.)

Where's Mizuki...?

It's been like ten minutes already...

Yes, it has been a while...

Maybe there was a long line.

I'll go take a look.

Oh, if you're gonna go, then I'll also...

No, Mizuki's just over there.

You two stay here.

Huh? Where's “over there”...?

Oh, isn't that Mizuki over by the shaved ice stall...?

Huh? Shaved ice?

Thanks for lending me a hand, Mafuyu.

I'm surprised a helpless look was all it took for you to notice.

I noticed that you left the drinks stall empty-handed...

Oh, you did? Anyway, you're a lifesaver.

Sorry for making you two wait, Ena, Kanade.

That's fine...

But weren't you going to buy drinks?

Yeah, but they were all sold out.

And when I started wondering what to do, I spotted the shaved ice stall next to it!

So, you got us shaved ice instead?

Yup♪ Ice is just frozen water, so we can all rehydrate by having these.

Yeah, but...

No, I shouldn't complain since you went to the trouble of getting us these.

Whoa, that's so considerate of you! For being so kind, I just might award you the star of the shaved ice world, blue raspberry!

That'll make my tongue blue. Can I have a different one?

What happened to not complaining...?

N-No, that was a request!

Haha!

Alright, fine.

Just give me whatever you recommend, Mizuki.
