>Uugh....So sleepy...
>You're looking sleepy again today, Syaro-chan.

>My part-time job yesterday was hard work...

>There's also you showing up first thing every morning to deliver milk.
>I just think it's better when it's delivered fresh.

>That way you should have a better chance of growing, don't you think?
>Quiet, you!

>Good morning! Chiya-chan!

p5
>Ah, good morning, Cocoa-chan.

>Morning, Cocoa.
>Yay! Syaro-chan's with us too!

>Chiya-chan, I don't understand my literature homework at all!
>Can you teach me when we get to school?
>Sure.

p6
>...
>What's this feeling...?

>Ah

>Syaro-chan's school is that way, isn't it?
>Well then, Syaro-chan, we'll split ways here.

>See you later, Syaro-chan!

p7
>Hah...

>Just what am I doing...

>It's like whenever I see Chiya with Cocoa these days...

p8
>Hm?
>Someone's over there...

>Syaro?

>Syaro~

>R-Rize-senpai!?

>I saw you from the upstairs corridor.

>Y-You didn't have to go so far to call me out!

p9
>So what's got you spacing out?

>Ahaha... My part-time job's been busy lately and I'm feeling tired from working so many shifts...

>S-Sounds pretty tough in a lot of ways
>I know

>If you'd like, why don't you drink some coffee to perk you up?

>C-Coffe is a litt-...
>sweat sweat
>It's a special blend I made myself.
>I will gladly drink some!

p10
>I-If it's to perk me up, just a little bit should be okay to drink!

>Rize-senpai's special blend

>Oh yeah! If I have this!
>I can work hard during my part-time job and sail right through it!

>I'm....ho....me

p11
>It...
>It was hell.

>Why do part-time jobs have to be so busy

p12
>Ah...
>The coffee I got from Rize-senpai...

>In the end... I never got the chance to take a break from my work and drink this
>But since it's something Rize-senpai gave me...

>Syaro-chan, are you home?
>Since you said you didn't want it in the mornings, I thought I'd bring you some milk in the evening

p13
>Syaro-chan! What's wrong!?

>Chiyaa....

>You're drunk on coffee again.
>I guess today's blend has a downer effect

p13
>Well then, I'll go put this milk in the fridge.

>Hm...? Syaro-chan?

>I have to get back to my house and take a bath, but...

>Do you want to take a bath too, Syaro-chan?
>...I do

p14
>What's wrong, Syaro-chan?
>You look like you have something to say.

>It's just...

>Up until now it's been me that's been by your side
>Whenever I see Cocoa by your side instead, I feel kinda gloomy.

p15
>It's not like I hate Cocoa or anything
>She's a nice girl, so I like her...

>But I still feel kinda gloomy
>Like I'm jealous or something
>I really hate that "me"

>So you were lonely, Syaro-chan!
>Y-You're wrong! I-It's not like that at all...

>...No
>You might be right...

p16
>Hey, Syaro-chan. Do you remember?

>When we were little, I'd grab you by the hand and drag you all the way around the town.
>You'd always have this weeping face whenever you went along with my crazy recklessness.

p17
>To think you'd call yourself reckless

>But, you were always with me, weren't you, Syaro-chan?

>Maybe you don't like yourself, Syaro-chan
>But back in those days, and even now, you've always been with me through my selfishness.
>Whether past, present or future, I will always "love" you.

p18
>Do you like me, Syaro-chan?

>Wh-What kind of stupid thing are you asking me!?

>D-Don't ask me something like that again!
>Or rather... [it's similar to what you just said]...

>Ah, but it looks like these days you've found someone else you like.

>Geez! Dummy! Like I care!
