Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, you're up early. Busy morning I'm guessing?
Mafuyu's Mother
Ah, I see...
Mafuyu's Mother
Your peers seem to value you very much, but remember that it's perfectly okay to tell a teacher that you don't want to do something. I'd really rather have you focus on your studies.
Mafuyu
Anyway, I need to get going.
Also, I'll probably be home a little late tonight because of cram school.

Mafuyu's Mother
Oh, that's right. Today's your first day of that new class.
Mafuyu's Mother
I'll also be running late tonight due to some neighborhood association business. I'm sorry but you'll have to prepare your own dinner.
Mafuyu
Okay, I understand.
Would you like me to make some for you and leave it in the refrigerator for when you get back...?

Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe. Thank you.
I appreciate the thought, but I suspect that we'll be going to dinner afterwards so that won't be necessary.

Mafuyu's Mother
Your father won't be home for some time as well, so please try to make do on your own for tonight.
Mafuyu's Mother
Stay safe.

Mafuyu
If I have even an hour, I should be able to handle everything I need to before our morning assembly...
Mafuyu
(I didn't have time to yesterday, so after school, I need to read up on what's going to be covered at cram school today...)
Mafuyu
(Then I need to provide the teachers a practice schedule for the archery club's first years... Oh, I have a student council meeting and club activities too...)

Teacher
Thank you very much, Asahina.
It's so kind of you to help me carry these things after asking you to handle that committee business.

Mafuyu
I'm happy to help... This would be far too much for one person to carry, even a teacher.
Teacher
Again, thank you. You really are so kind. I sort of don't know what else to say.
Class 2-B
Mafuyu
(I don't have time to study this morning, so that'll have to wait until the latter part of lunch. Maybe during the break too...)
Mafuyu's Classmate
Mafuyu, this first-year girl who says she's in the archery club is here to see you.

A-Asahina!
Junior Club Member
I was taking inventory of all our equipment just now and discovered that we're missing a bow...!
Junior Club Member
I did! I even counted several times just to make sure, but I kept falling short by one...
Mafuyu
Someone may have taken it home to practice with and simply forgot to bring it back.
Mafuyu
I'll check the gym later to see if it's lost in storage somewhere. Would you mind telling the teachers in the meantime?
Junior Club Member
Yes, of course! Thank you so much!

Kanade
Mafuyu, can you tell me where you live? We need to let your parents know so that they can come and pick you up.
Kanade
(There's no way she can give me directions in her current state... And I can't just leave her here...)
