Hanayui no Shou 22-4EB

The Nogi household - 4

[Sonoko's room]

SON: First, I need to tell her that playing house was just fiction, right? After that, hmm... What should I say?

Hin: So even you worry about things like that, Sonoko-san. I'm a little surprised.

SON: Doesn't Waka-chan have that sort of side too?

Hin: What sort of side?

SON: Waka-chan always looks strong and dependable, but isn't she actually a worrywart prone to overthinking things deep down?

Hin: Ah... Now that you mention it, you're exactly alike in that.

SON: Because of that, I kind of understand what Waka-chan is worried about.

SON: She's wondering if I got enough parental love, and if I live happily in this era...

SON: She's worried about that... But can't ask me in case I was actually unhappy...

Hin: And so, you decided to use cooking as a way to exchange your feelings?

SON: Yeah. You see, I never had much experience eating food together with someone.

SON: I don't think I'm unhappy because of that, but if I can eat at the same table with Waka-chan and you, Hina-chan...

SON: I think... It's going to feel like I'm spending time with my family...

Hin: Sonoko-san... You don't normally happen to feel isolated or lonely, do you?

SON: No. A lot of stuff has happened since I became a Hero... But then I joined the Hero Club and met the others...

SON: If I did something mischievous, Fuumin-senpai would scold me, Wasshi would comfort me, Yuuyu would laugh...

SON: Ittsun and Nibosshi would put a sharp tsukkomi in... And then I came to this world and met my ancestor!

SON: And... Mino-san too. Because of that, life is really fun right now, and I'm happy.

Hin: ...I think you should just tell Wakaba-chan everything you said just now.

SON: I guess. It's strange... I wonder why I can tell you all this so naturally, Hina-tan...

Wak: Haah, haah, haah... I finally made my way back here... I was so lost, I thought I was going to perish there.

Hin: Welcome back. How was the restroom?

Wak: It was certainly an impressive restroom. But... I'm going to cut down on liquids for now.

SON: Eh? But I prepared so many drinks.

Hin: Wakaba-chan, Sonoko-san said she's going to cook for us today.

Wak: What, really!? I'm glad to hear that. Let me help, then.

SON: But you're a guest.

Hin: My, that's a lovely idea. Make something delicious for me, alright?

Wak: Hinata, you're just getting all the good parts.

Hin: For sure, that's just the kind of woman I am. Heehee.

SON: Hey, Waka-chan. Listen...

Wak: Hm? What is it?

SON: ...I'm glad to know you're worried about me... But I'm happy with my life!

Wak: ...I see. ...Right, I see. So, what are we going to cook?

SON: Ehehe, sauce yakisoba! Alright, let's go to the kitchen!

Wak: What, right now!? Let me rest a little! I've been walking all this time.

Hin: Hurry up, Wakaba-chan!

SON: Hurry up, Waka-chan!

Wak: W-Why do you two feel so similar!? Hey, don't push me! Jeez... Hahaha!

SON/Hin: Hahaha!
