Kindergarten Teacher

Okay, let's start making some dango!
I hope we all get to have some cute and delicious ones!
2

Shizuku's Friend

Shizuku, yours look so good!
3

Little Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Thank you.
Yours look good too.
4

Little Shiho

Listen

(She looks like she's having fun...)
5

Little Shiho

Listen

(I really want to make dango with her but...)
6

Little Shiho

Listen

(She probably wants to play with her friends since she's with me so much...)
7

Little Shiho

Listen

...
8

Little Shiho

Listen

That's okay. I can just make some on my own...
9

Little Shiho

Listen

So I dust it with this powder and...
10

Little Shiho

Listen

(Making them nice and round is harder than I thought, but...)
11

Little Shiho

Listen

They look cute when they do turn out right...
12

Little Shiho

Listen

(I know. I can make it rounder, give it some ears and turn it into a bunny.)
13

Little Shiho

Listen

And now for some ears and... Hehe, it's so cute.
14

Kindergartener A

Shiho, wait!
Your dango looks funny...
15

Little Shiho

Listen

Huh...?
16

Kindergartener B

Yeah. I'll show you how to make them, so let's try together!
17

Little Shiho

Listen

That's okay...
Please, leave me alone.
18

Kindergartener A

But yours are gonna look different from what the teacher made.
19

Little Shiho

Listen

I don't care. I want to make mine like this.
20

Kindergartener B

Fine, be that way...
21

Little Shiho

Listen

...
22

Little Shiho

Listen

(It's not as fun when I'm with everyone else...)
23

Little Shiho

Listen

(So I'll just keep making them by my...)
24

???

Listen

Shii...!
25

Little Shiho

Listen

Oh...
26

Little Shizuku

Listen

Are your dango supposed to be bunnies? They're so cute.
27

Little Shiho

Listen

Thanks...
28

Little Shizuku

Listen

Would you mind showing me how to make bunnies like yours?
29

Little Shiho

Listen

I don't wanna...
30

Little Shizuku

Listen

Huh?
31

Little Shiho

Listen

You should be with your friends, Shizuku. I'll keep making dango by myself.
32

Little Shizuku

Listen

Shii...
33

Little Shiho

Listen

...
34

Little Shizuku

Listen

Um, Shii?
35

Little Shizuku

Listen

Making dango with everyone else was fun, but I want to make some with you now.
36

Little Shiho

Listen

But...
37

Little Shizuku

Listen

And you're the only one here who knows how to make adorable bunny dango.
38

Little Shizuku

Listen

That's why I want to make some with you.
39

Little Shizuku

Listen

Please, Shii.
Will you show me how to make these?
40

Little Shiho

Listen

...
41

Little Shiho

Listen

Okay...
42

Little Shizuku

Listen

Thank you, Shii!
43

Little Shizuku

Listen

So how did you make these bunnies?
44

Little Shiho

Listen

Well, you start by...
45

Kindergarten Teacher

That concludes our moon viewing party! Did you all get a chance to make some cute and delicious dango?
46

Little Shiho & Shizuku

Listen

Yeah!
47

Kindergarten Teacher

Wonderful! Don't forget to show your parents these delicious creations when you get home!
48

Little Shiho

Listen

Oh...
49

Little Shiho

Listen

(We get to take these home...!)
50

Little Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Your dango turned out so cute, Shii. I'm sure mommy, daddy and grandma will love to see them.
51

Little Shizuku

Listen

Let's show them as soon as we can.
52

Little Shiho

Listen

Yeah...!

Grandmother

Your mother's running very late...
I wonder if work is holding her up.
54

Little Shizuku

Listen

She's usually here by now.
55

Grandmother

Yes, she is...
Oh, someone's calling me. Excuse me, dear.

56

Little Shizuku

Listen

Okay...
57

Grandmother

Oh my. Really...?
You poor thing...
58

Little Shiho

Listen

...!
59

Grandmother

Understood.
I can handle making dinner, so you won't have to worry about that. Just get home safe, okay?
60

Little Shiho

Listen

Is mommy not coming home...?
61

Grandmother

I'm so sorry, dear.
Your mother won't be home until much later.
62

Little Shiho

Listen

Huh...?
63

Grandmother

Your father won't be home for quite some time either, so how about we show them the dango you made tomorrow?

Little Shiho

(I really wanted them to see what we made now...)
66

Little Shiho

Listen

(But...)
67

Little Shizuku

Listen

Shii...
68

Little Shiho

Listen

I'm okay...
Let's go home, Shizuku.
69

Little Shiho

Listen

(She's probably sad about this too, so I shouldn't pout or whine about this too much...)

Little Shiho

Listen

Huh...?
72

Little Shizuku

Listen

You don't have to hold it in like that, Shii.
73

Little Shizuku

Listen

Whenever you feel sad, it's okay to say so.
74

Little Shiho

Listen

But...
75

Little Shiho

Listen

You're sad too, right?

76

Little Shizuku

Listen

I won't ever feel sad as long as you're around, Shii. Not ever.
77

Little Shizuku

Listen

So just for today, I'll take mommy's place. You can tell me how you feel and ask me for whatever you like, okay?
78

Little Shizuku

Listen

Being there for you is what makes me happy because I'm your big sister.
79

Little Shiho

Listen

Shizuku...
80

Little Shiho

Listen

Okay...
81

Shiho

Listen

(After that, Shizuku, grandma and I had dinner together... Then we showed mom and dad the dango we made once they got home.)
82

Shiho

Listen

(And because Shizuku waited with me the whole time, I felt strangely at ease...)
83

Shiho

Listen

(Come to think of it, that's also sort of when she started being all clingy with me...)
84

Shiho

Listen

...
85

Shiho

Listen

Maybe doing a moon viewing with her after all this time isn't such a bad idea...
