Hm? I got a message on Nightcord...
Who sent it...?
Oh...
<I'll look over the rough draft of the illustration you sent me. I'm sorry for not noticing your message sooner.>
Oh, that's right...
Kanade's back to work starting today.
I didn't know what was gonna happen when she collapsed, but...
For now, I'll just say...
<It's okay. Let me know what you think.>
(She looked a lot better when I saw her over in SEKAI, and Mafuyu gave the go-ahead for her to get back to work. So, I guess everything's fine.)
(But she just got healthy...
A part of me thinks she's gonna immediately push herself way too hard again.)
Wait, I know!
<Before you get started, Kanade, can we talk for a bit?>
Alright, now I just need to...!
Oh, Kanade...!
I'll be right over!
I see Mafuyu and Mizuki are here too.
Miku and the others too.
We heard that you asked Kanade to meet you in SEKAI, so we decided to come stick our noses in♪
I didn't mind either way, but Mizuki insisted.
Yeah, I can picture that.
Does that mean Mizuki wrangled you and the others up, Miku?
We decided to come after we heard that you'd all be here...
Umm... Should we not have come?
No, you guys are fine.
It really isn't a big deal.
It isn't...?
Also...
Ena, what's that you're carrying there?
Yeah, I was gonna ask the same question!
That bag looks completely stuffed...
Oh, this?
I came to give these to Kanade.
First, let's start with... This vegetable juice!
It's packed with vitamins, fiber and everything else you need!
Th-Thank you.
Next, energy jelly packs!
Supposedly these are loaded with vitamins, so I bought a bunch of different flavors.
O-Okay...
Also, these protein cereal bars, and these high-protein-low-calorie instant noodles.
Wait, um...
And here are some sports drinks to keep you hydrated!
I got you a few bottles, since I know you're gonna need more than one. I also got...
E-Ena, wait...
Just wait a minute...
Hm? Oh, sorry!
There's no way you're gonna be able to carry all this stuff, huh?
Actually, that's okay.
You can just take this whole bag home with you!
No, that's not what I meant...
I mean, I really appreciate what you're doing, but I feel a lot better now.
No, you can't let your guard down!
You need to keep eating and drinking stuff that your body needs, at least for a while!
Thank you...
But I don't think I'll be able to get through all of these...
Not a problem! They all have really long expiration dates! It's okay for you to stash them away somewhere!
Like on a shelf, in your desk drawers or some other place within arm's reach.
You can have these while you work, and they should keep anything bad from happening again.
Ena...
I'm not gonna lie, Kanade...
I want you to take better care of yourself.
So, please take these.
...
Take them, Kanade.
I mean, I agree with Ena on this one.
Oh...
Okay...
I promise to eat and drink these, Ena.
Good! Do that for me!
Hehe. I'm so glad for you, Ena...
Are you gonna be able to carry that bag, Kanade?
I should be able to... I think...
Oh, Mafuyu, you're also welcome to have whatever you like. Stuff like this is nice to have for when you're studying, right?
Yes...
I'll have some if I feel the need.
Alright, I've accomplished my mission!
Let's return to our rooms and get back to work!
