Mafuyu's Mother
Welcome home, Mafuyu.
Do you get your finals back?
3
Mafuyu
(I'm afraid of what she's going to say when she sees that my grades are starting to slip.)
4
Mafuyu
(Not just say... What she might do...)
5
Mafuyu
(And I have another mock exam coming up.)
6
Mafuyu
(Doing well on that might make up for how I did on my finals...)
7
Mafuyu
If I can do that...
8
Mafuyu
I need to study...
9
Mafuyu
(But Mom might worry if I don't get enough sleep... Then, my only other choice is to study at school during my breaks...)
10
Mafuyu
Oh...
11
Mafuyu
(If I do that, my lunch break will...)
12
Mizuki
<Mafuyu! I just had an idea...>
13
Mizuki
<What if you logged onto Nightcord to work on stuff while you're at school during lunch?>
14
Mizuki
<I know not being able to talk is gonna be tough, Yuki, but let's try to get as much done as we can!>
15
Ena
<She'll be fine.
I mean, she doesn't talk much to begin with.>
16
Mafuyu's Message
<Conversely, Enanan, you don't know when to stop.>
17
Ena
<Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!
We need to communicate if we want to produce good content, right?!>
18
Kanade
<Hehe...>

20
Mafuyu
(If I don't do well on my next exam...)
21
Mafuyu
(That means I need to study during lunch...)
22
Mafuyu
(And I should let the others know...)
23
Mafuyu
<I'm sorry, but I need to take a break from N25 for a while...>
24
Mafuyu
(I won't be able to talk with them until I've finished taking my next exam... I won't be able to work on any music...)
25
Mafuyu
(I... I don't want to send this message... I want to keep making music with them...)
26
Mafuyu
Huff... Huff...
27
Mafuyu
(I can't breathe...)
28
Mafuyu
The window...
29
Mafuyu
I should open the window and...

Mafuyu

31
Mafuyu
*Gasp*
32
Mafuyu's Mother
Mafuyu, do you have a minute?
33
Mafuyu
Y-Yes, come in.
34
Mafuyu's Mother
I'm sorry, but I was wondering if you'd like to take a bath first or have dinner... Oh?
35
Mafuyu's Mother
Your window's open. Is something wrong...?
36
Mafuyu
Oh, no... I just felt like getting some fresh air...
37
Mafuyu's Mother
I see...
38
Mafuyu
Yes...
Anyway...
39
Mafuyu
A bath or dinner? I think I'll have dinner first. I'm actually feeling hungry all of a sudden.
40
Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. Okay.
Then, I'll get everything ready.
41
Mafuyu's Mother
It shouldn't take long, so please get changed sooner rather than later.
42
Mafuyu
I will. I'm looking forward to dinner.
43
Mafuyu
(Thank goodness I was able to hide my phone in time...)
44
Mafuyu
Huh...?
My message got sent...?
45
Mafuyu
(Did I press send by accident while trying to hide my phone...? Wait, I should still have time to delete it...)
46
Ena's Message
<A while? How long are we talking here?>
47
Kanade's Message
<Do you need some extra time to study?>
48
Mafuyu's Message
<I probably won't be able to join you all until my next mock exam is over.>
49
Mafuyu's Message
<I'm sorry.>
50
Kanade's Message
<It's okay. You don't need to apologize. I'll at least be working, so I can just stay logged into Nightcord starting tomorrow so that you can join whenever.>
51
Mizuki's Message
<Yeah, me too♪ You don't necessarily have to get a lot done, so come hang out anytime!>
52
Ena's Message
<Then, I think I'll stay logged on too.
Come online whenever you feel like it, okay?>
53
Mafuyu
...
54
Mafuyu's Message
<Thank you.
I'll try to log on if I have time.>
55
Mafuyu

56
Mafuyu
I should get changed...
