Alright, I've finished my daily run, and I have everything packed for our trip!

What else do I have left to do...?
Oh, I still haven't done my morning strength exercises!

That was a close one! I'll need to do those to ensure that we have a wonderful day!

Starting with pushups!
Hmph! Hmph! Hnnnnnnng!!

Morning, Tsukasa.
You seem more excited than usual this morning.

Morning, Mom!

That's because Saki and I are going on a trip for the first time in a very long while! I can't contain my excitement!

That reminds me. I made a special breakfast today as a way to boost my luck. Have some if you like, Mom.

Oh, thank you.
I hope you two enjoy your trip.

We will!

Wait, look at the time...
I need to wake Saki...

*Inhale*

Sakiiiiii!!!!!
It's moooorrrnnniiiinnnggg!!!!!!

Huh?! Tsukasa?!

You don't have to shout!
I'm already up!

Oh, you're checking to see if you've packed properly! Did you make sure to include bug repellent?

Yeah!
It's in this bag...

No, it's not...!
Wait, where'd it go?!

Hehe. You two are so excited.

(Mhm... It's morning already...?)

(Huh...? My alarm went off earlier than usual...)

(Oh, right... Today's...)

<Rin-Rin-Riiiin☆ It's morning!>

Whoa...! You scared me...

<Wakey wakey, Shih!>

Relax... I'm already awake.

<What? But you're still snuggled up in your bed! You're gonna be late if you don't start getting ready soon!>

Okay, I'll get up. There's no need to rush.

<Hehe. I'm so excited about visiting that cafe, picking fruits and seeing some pretty leaves!>

<Thanks again for agreeing to let me go with you today, Shih♪>

I mean, you looked like you really wanted to go the other day when I told you about this trip...

I think Shizuku and Tsukasa won't notice as long as you don't pop out too often.

<Right! I should be fine since I can just sneakily watch from your pocket or Sakki's☆>

Shii?

Shii, are you awake?
We're going to be late if you don't get up soon.

I'm already up.

Morning, Shii.
I'm glad we were both able to wake up early like we planned.

You didn't have to worry about that. I had an alarm set for today.

Also, Shizuku, you've got bed head...

Huh?

Look, around your right ear. This bit of hair's sticking up.

What? But I thought I got it all...
I-I'll go fix it now...!

*Sigh*
She's so careless when it comes to these things.

<She might've been distracted because she's just that excited about today. That happens to me a lot!>

Yeah, you also seem like the type to forget about fixing your bed head before going somewhere.

<What?! R-Really?!>

<But you've also gotten so excited about something that you forgot about other stuff, right?!>

I don't think so...

<O-Or ended up just spinning your wheels...?>

Nope.

<Y-Yeah, I probably am barking up the wrong tree...>

<But you are excited about this trip, right?
I mean, you kept checking the weather forecast yesterday.>

Of course I kept checking the forecast.
Depending on the weather, we would've had to pack differently.

But I am glad that it's supposed to be nice out today.

<Oh...>

<Yeah!
So let's have lots of fun on today's trip♪>

Yeah, within reason...
