p1
>May 1st is Kase-san's birthday!
>And yet Kase-san is in bed with a high fever!?

p2
>I just realized I had a day open
>so I'm here to work~!

>You're a lifesaver~!!!
>Ooh~
>You're such a help during this season~!!

p3
>Eh?
>Kase-san has a cold!?
>Yeah. Apparently she has a fever so she's sleeping it off.

>I was looking forward to it, but it can't be helped, I suppose.
>I'm gonna help out here for today!

>Mikawacchi?

>Even Kase-san can catch a cold!?
>I never thought she'd ever catch one!!
>That's what you're riled up about!?

>Apparently it's around 39 degrees. [TN: Celcius]
>Kase-san with 39 degrees!? What kind of bacteria is this!?
>Last night...

p4
>Kase-san?
>She's sleeping in her room.
>I just checked her temperature. It's over 39 degrees.

>39 degrees!?
>Eh?

>Th-
>Thirty-nine degrees!?

>Ahahaha
>A high fever~!!
>Hilarious~
>Eh? She's laughing...
>It's nothing to laugh about.

p5
>I mean, Kase catching a cold!?
>That's one thing, but
>A high fever? She's softer than I thought~
>>snicker
>You think so?

>Kase-san has been under constant supervision from the coach ever since she enrolled here.
>She seems to have been pushing herself a fair bit.
>She always goes straight to sleep upon returning to her room.
>Without even taking a bath.

>As expected of her roommate! You know a lot about her.
>No, I don't really know that much about her.
>You sure? You two seem pretty close.
>No, not at all.

>Yamada-chan.
>This girl is Kase's roommate!
>Her name's Fukami-san!

p6
>I know...
>N-
>Nice to meet you...

>Yamada-chan is Kase's...
>...
>Erm...
>Friend!
>She came here to visit!

>Could you maybe go and wake Kase up, Fukami?
>Wake her up...
>Eh!?
>No, it's fine!! I couldn't...

>W-
>We had plans to meet up tomorrow.
>When she wakes up, please tell her that we'll do it some other time
>and to take care of herself...

p7
>Eh?
>You're not gonna see her, Yamada-chan? You came all this way and everything.
>It's fine!
>I just wanted to give this to her...

>Those flowers.

>Are you perhaps the one
>who brought all those flowers the other day?

>Kase-san brought them back to our room.
>There was no place to put them, so we put them around the dining hall instead.
>A small bouquet like that should be fine,
>but large amounts of cut flowers are troublesome.

>They were pretty, though.

p8
>>What happened yesterday
>Hah...

>Why are you so bummed all of a sudden?
>Well...

>I was insensitive...
>Fukami-san bought all that Pocari...
>I wonder if that was for Kase-san?

>Are you perhaps the one who brought all those flowers the other day?

p9
>Kase-san...
>Sharing a room with such a pretty person...

>you're not gonna fall in love with her, right?

>...

>Still...

>She hasn't woken up at all since last night.
>How long is she gonna sleep for?

p10
>This is the first fever I've ever had in my entire life~
>Is this her first time taking medicine too?
>Is she a grade schooler or something?

>Kya~
>Is Kase-san okay!?
>Or rather...
>they sure brought her a lot of juice...
>Was there even any point in me buying any!?

>What's so good about her?
>So she promised to meet up with a friend from her home town on her birthday, huh?
>That's surprising.
>I thought she'd be meeting up with that boyfriend she's dating or something...

p11
>...

>?
>What is it?
>Do you need water?

p12
>Huh? Fukami?

>Thanks for the water...
>My head hurts~
>Huh?
>What time is it?

>O-
>One o'clock.
>What was that just now?

p13
>...One o'clock!?
>Eh?
>In the afternoon??
>No way!

>I'm about to head off to college,
>but I'll let the dorm mother know that you're awake, Kase-san.
>You're gonna sleep some more, right?
>Or rather, please sleep quietly.
>I'll get upset if you don't.

p14
>Thanks for working so late, Yamada-san.
>Please keep getting along with us.
>Yes! I'll do my best!

>Mikawacchi slipped out in the middle of today
>for an interview for her next job.
>Later~

>Thank goodness there were flowers.
>If I didn't have a part-time job
>I might not have known how to pass an entire day.

>Thanks, Mikawacchi,
>for giving me flowers.

p15
>...
>Yesterday was so much fun throughout the entire day.

>But today is different.
>The world feels so dark and spacious when you're alone.

>I need to get it together.

>I've gotta do my best tomorrow too.
>I've got watering duties at college tomorrow morning
>then my job in the afternoon.

>>May 1st - Wednesday
>>Kase - 25 mins ago: How long until your job ends? Could you call me?
>>Kase- 32 mins ago: I'll wait until 8pm. Could you call me?

p16
>Ka...

p17
>You're late.
>How long were you working for, huh?
>I've been waiting for ages.

>Eh?
>No way.
>Kase-san, what about your fever...?
>It went down.

p18
>Ah!
>Ah!
>Don't get too close.
>You'll catch my cold!
>!?

>Fukami said I have some crazy bacteria or something.
>!?

>I just came here to see your face, Yamada.
>You gonna congratulate me?
>It is my birthday today, after all.

>Eh?
>Why are you crying?
>Eh~?
>??
>I'm sorry!?

p19
>Crap! I'm so lame!
>Aha
>This really is my first time catching a fever.
>I'm like some weak kid!

>I'll go home now.
>Eh?

>I-
>I don't want you to catch my cold, Yamada.
>And it's almost curfew.

>I just wanted to see you.
>You brought me some flowers yesterday, right?

>Thank you.
>That was the first time you ever cam over to my dorm, right, Yamada?

p20
>It made me really happy.
>That's my birthday present.

p21
>Happy birthday,
>Tomoka-chan.

>It was so lonely.
>No matter how close I got, I couldn't see you.
>I was really worried.

>I'm sorry for not looking at my phone.
>You must've been waiting for ages.

p22
>Not at all.
>I just got here myself...
>Happy birthday, Kase-san.
>19 years, huh...
