p2
>What should I say when I come in...?

>Would "I'm home" be okay?

>"Pardon the intrusion"...?
>No, it's my own house.
>...

>...Here goes nothing!

>I-
>I have...

>Hah

>Hah
>Hah
>Hah

>Hah...

p6
>Welcome back,
>Midori.

>Tsugumi-chan.

p7
>Sorry for always making you wait so long...
>It's fine.
>Since you often take your time, Midori,
>I can take my time waiting for you.

>...That's right.

>Back then,
>Tsugumi-chan would always wait for me...

>Just like
>Tsugumi-chan did back then...

p8
>This girl
>has done the same for me...

>I-
>It's really extravagant...
>Since you were late, Midori-san,
>I ended up making a bit too much.

>..C-
>Compared to my bento...
>It's dazzling...

>Ah,
>that's right.

p9
>About today's bento...
>S-
>Sorry! It wasn't good, right!?

>...
>No, it was fine.

>It was SOMEWHAT burnt
>and SOMEWHAT lacking in flavor, though.
>I'm sorry...
>That means it wasn't good...

>More importantly
>I'd like a bigger portion.

>Eh?
>Sorry. Was there not enough...?
>Not enough to last me until dinner at least.

>My friend shared hers with me today.

p10
>...Your friend...
>Yeah. The girl who sits next to me.

>...Ah, I see.
>You've already made a friend.
>That's...
>>Couldn't enter any groups
>>Couldn't make any friends
>>Ate lunch alone...

>...
>Eh, what is it!?
>That's scary
>...It's nothing...
>Just a little self-deprecation.

>Uuh, my stomach...

>>Everyday Bento

p11
>...Does it bother you that much?

>Eh...
>Ah!
>Wait, aren't these a bit too high level for you, Midori?

>W-Well
>I wasn't sure which one I should buy...

>>100 Bento
>>Simple Cute Bento
>...They're all bento books...

>...Pft.

p12
>...Well, in your case, Midori-san,
>you should really start with the basics.
>Like how to hold a knife.
>...Yes...

>But since you'll be doing this every day from now on
>you'll gradually get used to it whether you like it or not.

>...Every day...?
>That's right.
>It's not just for today, right?

>...I see.
>That's right.
>From now on.
>Forever.

p13
>...It's not gonna taste good when you first start,

>so just take your time with it, okay?

>...Take my time...
>But...
>is that okay...?

p14
>I can take my time waiting for you!

>Slowly,
>a little at a time.

p15
>I can change a little at a time.

>...But y'know
>if it's cooking you wanna do, I don't mind
>teach you...

>Eh?
>Y-You sure...!?
>...It's no big deal for me.

>Please teach me!
>Haru-chan!

>...I don't mind...

p16
>By the way,
>what is it that you want to make?
>Ah
>well...

>Whatever side dishes you like the most, Haru-chan!
