How to spend your day off - 2

[Inubouzaki house]

Kar: Huuh!?

Anz/Aya/Its: Ehehe.

Fuu: You see, they have tests soon.

Its: So we first-years decided to all study together.

Fuu: And I decided to look after Natsume's studies as well, since she's not doing so well.

Nat: I'm ashamed of myself...

Fuu: Don't sweat it. We can't allow a Hero Club member to fail their classes, after all.

Nat: Thanks... Fuu... you're so kind.

Fuu: C-Cut it out... I'm only doing it as the club president... You know, sense of duty...

Anz/Its: *grinning*

Kar: ...H-Hmph. I see. Then I guess I'd just get in the way. I'll leave.

Fuu: Why! Since you came all the way here, go make dinner or something.

Kar: I didn't come here to eat or... Huh!? Make!?

Fuu: You're good at studies, and you came since you were free, right? Help us out.

Kar: ...W-Well if you put it that way. I'll help you.

Fuu: Itsuki and girls, study until dinner! Natsume, do the workbook properly as well!

Aya/Anz/Its: Okay!

Nat: Got it...

Kar: Uh... Cut the cucumbers in circles, rub them with salt... Right.

Fuu: Ooh? Karin... You've gotten a lot more skilled at cooking, haven't you?

Kar: W-Well, yeah. I guess it came to me naturally when I was watching you...

Fuu: Well done! Good girl, good girl.

Kar: Hey, I have a knife in my hands, it's dangerous!

Fuu: Oh yeah... The broth. Karin, sorry, but could I get some dried sardines?

Kar: Aah, you! My sardines!

Fuu: Oh come on, it's no skin off your back!

Kar: Yeah, but it's sardines out of my bag!

Nat: This feels like a happy family... It's nice.

Its: W-What's Natsume-san's position in it, I wonder...

Anz: Uh... The father?

Aya: Eh? What do you mean... Ah! Got it. We're playing house today, right?

Its: Ah, yeah. Hm?

Anz: So we're like three sisters? Kyaa, that's kind of nice.

Aya: Nice and fun! Makes me feel all warm inside.

Its: But then who would Karin-san be...?

Anz: Uh... Ah, sorry. I think the Sonokost blood in me is about to boil.

Aya: ?
