Sonoko's memories - 1

[Shinju-kan elementary school]

[Classroom]

Son: ZZZ~... ZZZ~...

Gin: Sonoko's sleeping right from the start again.

Sum: What a delighted sleeping expression...

Son: Mmh... Grasshopper...

Sum: ...Even her dreams are brimming with originality.

Gin: You think she's dreaming about The Ant and the Grasshopper?

Sum: A famous fable told since ancient times. Sonocchi would surely be the grasshopper.

Gin: The ant would get upset for sleeping inside her dream.

Son: Mh... Mmh... Tsukudani! ...Ah ...Huh~?

Sum: ...This has just refuted our assumption.

Gin: Yeah. It was too unexpected, she's confused.

Son: Fwah... Ah. Ah~, morning~, Wasshi, Mino-san.

Sum: Good morning, Sonocchi. Although as has become custom, it's lunch break.

Gin: Sonoko, you can't make grasshopper tsukudani.

Son: Eh? What? How do you know what I was dreaming about~?

Sum: In fact, we were wondering if you could be dreaming about The Ant and the Grasshopper.

Son: You too! You two are amazing~!

Gin: What? That was it. What about the tsukudani?

Son: Well~, in my dream, I became a grasshopper and the ant got mad at me telling me to work~.

Sum: It's mostly... completely what we predicted. At least up until now.

Son: The weather was so warm and pleasant I fell asleep, then winter suddenly came and I had no food...

Gin: Mh mh.

Son: I went to the ants who were getting ready to hibernate. Tsukidani! Please, could you give me tsukidani at least~!

Gin: These ants sure make elaborate dishes!

Sum: It was mostly accurate to the story Gin and I imagined. Apart from the dishes the ants stashed away.

Son: Eh~, what? Were you two imagining what kind of dream I was having~?

Gin: In a way, yeah.

Son: I'm happy~! Wasshi and Mino-san think about me this much~!

Sum: It's not difficult to imagine what it is like, since you talk in your sleep...

Son: Thant's not true~. You can tell because you two pay attention to me~...


Sonoko's memories - 2

[Shinju-kan elementary school]

Son: This happened before I became good friends with them...

Gin: Eh? What's going on? Sonoko's flashback?

Sum: As you'd expect, anything goes with her.

Son: ZZZ~... ZZZ~... Mmh...

Son: I was sleeping all the time~.

Gin: ...That's not much different from now...

Sum: No, wait, Gin. Sonocchi's expression...

Gin: ...!? S-She looks a little more pained than usual...?

Son: Mm... Uuh... Cotton candy... Wait...

Son: ...No, she's dreaming about running after a cloud in the sky that looks like cotton candy, I'm sure of it!

Sum: If you put it that way, I can understand her face.

Son: Ehehe~, correct~. But~...

Son: Uuh~... Cumulonimbus!

Gin: Ah, she woke up.

Sum: In the end, she woke up as she was running after a giant cotton candy shaped like a cumulonimbus.

Son: Huh...? Where is the giant cotton candy...?

Sum: Good morning, Nogi-san. I don't know what kind of dream you were having, but class is about to start.

Sum: Ah... I...

Gin: You called her Nogi-san. You wouldn't do that anymore.

Sum: That too but... I didn't make a retort about the dream Sonocchi was having... What was I thinking!?

Gin: Eh? That?

Gin: Ahaha, you always look like you're having fun when you sleep, Nogi-san.

Gin: Ah, that was me... Wait, where was I looking!? she clearly looked in pain when she was asleep!

Sum: How... You and I both didn't understand the first thing about Sonocchi...

Son: Ahaha~, seems like it~.

Gin: I-I am ashamed...

Son: Why are you looking like you feel sorry~? This is exactly what makes me happy~.

Sum/Gin: Eh...?


Sonoko's memories - 3

[Shinju-kan elementary school]

Sum: Sonocchi... Why would this make you happy...?

Gin: Knowing how we were...

Son: We didn't know each other well, it wasn't your fault~. I'm happy because it's not the case anymore.

Sum: Sonocchi...

Son: You always care about me now... I can't not be happy about it~.

Gin: Of course. We're best friends after all.

Son: Ehehe~, best friends~♪.

Sum: Exactly. I treasure the both of you, so I understand.

Son: Yes. You two are so precious to me... so much I could start crying...

Gin: Sonoko...

Son: Sometimes, I wonder if this is all a dream~, me having these 2 precious friends.

Sum: It can't be a dream.

Gin: That's right, Sonoko.

Son: Yes... Yes. You must be right, but when you tell me things like this, it feels like a dream~.

Son: We have our duties, but after that, I want to stay friends with you two forever...

Sum: So-Sonocchi... You're assertive today.

Gin: Yeah... What's got into you?

Son: Just like that... I felt like I needed to say it. Since we have our trip soon~!

Gin: Ooh, now that you mention it. Sumi's gonna make a bunch of plans for us, right?

Sum: Yes, of course. Our current strategy procedures... Wait, no, I am in the process of creating a guidebook.

Son: I'm so excited because we're in the same group~! Let's go to a lot of places!

Gin: Of course! We'll conquer every udon restaurant!

Sum: Restaurant conquest... I'll need to add this to the guidebook.

Son: Ahahaha, Wasshi is ready~!

Gin: With the 3 of us, it's totally doable. So anyway, let's give ourselves a boost and stop by Ines on the way back!

Sum: Whether to cheer ourselves up or not, you always go to Ines, Gin.

Gin: Mfufu, guess so.

Son: Yes! Let's go to Ines! Together!

Sum: Sure. The 3 of us.

Son: Ehehe... I want the 3 of us to stay together fore~ver.
