Ena

Listen

<Are you busy this Sunday?>
11

Mizuki

Listen

<Huh? Why?>
12

Ena

Listen

<Something came up and it's gonna keep my mom busy, so I'm free to go to that place you were talking about. Wanna go?>
13

Ena

Listen

(The truth is that I told her that I'd be busy, but I'm just too worried about Mizuki...)
14

Mizuki

Listen

<Really? Awesome!
Thanks, Enanan, let's go!>
15

Mizuki

Listen

<Then, does 10:00 outside the station like usual sound good? And try not to be late, okay...?>
16

Ena

Listen

<Okay, fine! You really didn't need to throw that last part in...>
17

Mizuki

Listen

<Oh, but... We can get a reservation for the VR section in the afternoon, so we can go shopping in the meantime!>
18

Ena

Listen

<Sure, sounds good.
Just don't stay up too late watching anime, alright?>
19

Mizuki

Listen

<Haha. I'll be careful♪>

Ena

Listen

<Okay, I'm gonna get back to work now.>

Hey, Ena!
Over here!

Ena

Listen

There you are.
Alright, let's... Hm?
23

Ena

Listen

Are you sure you're okay, Mizuki?
24

Mizuki

Listen

Huh? Why? I feel fine.
25

Ena

Listen

I mean, you said you didn't feel well the other day, so try not to push yourself too hard, okay?
26

Mizuki

Listen

Wait, why are you being so nice to me today...? Is a meteor about to hit? Is the world about to end...?
27

Ena

Listen

No, so shut up!
Is that any way to talk to someone showing concern for you?!
28

Mizuki

Listen

Haha! Sorry, my bad!
Everyone knows that you're really a nice person♪
29

Ena

Listen

Why does that feel like an insult?

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, we gotta go!
Before the light turns red!

Mizuki

Listen

Hmm...
33

Mizuki

Listen

White or pink...?
Such a tough decision...!
34

Ena

Listen

What are you going on about?
If you don't decide soon, we're gonna miss our reservation.
35

Mizuki

Listen

But this white one goes perfectly with that skirt I bought the other day! At the same time, this pink one's super cute...
36

Ena

Listen

Okay, I get it.
I'm going to use the restroom, so try to make a decision before I get back.
37

Mizuki

Listen

Yup!
Hmm... Eeny, meeny...

38

Ena

Listen

This always happens. Mizuki always goes on a shopping spree or takes forever to pick something out...
39

Ena

Listen

(But I guess this means I was worried over nothing. Thank goodness.)
40

Ena

Listen

(I'm not being kept at arm's length like before either, so I think we're moving in the right direction.)
41

Ena

Listen

Oh, I should use this time to organize everything we just bought...
42

Ena

Listen

I have some of Mizuki's things too, so I should probably sort everything out... Huh?
43

Ena

Listen

Mizuki...?

44

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, hi.
I thought you went to the restroom...
45

Ena

Listen

Are you really sure you're okay...? You looked awful just now...
46

Mizuki

Listen

I... I did?
I think I'm just sleepy.
47

Ena

Listen

Cut it out!
Okay, you might be fine physically, but something's definitely going on!
48

Mizuki

Listen

Whoa, Ena, keep it down...!
Look, you're scaring the clerk.
49

Ena

Listen

Oh...
50

Ena

Listen

Mizuki...
51

Ena

Listen

I've told you this before, but you need to tell me if something's bothering you.
52

Ena

Listen

I may not always be able to help, but I can at least listen...!
53

Mizuki

Listen

No...
54

Mizuki

Listen

Nothing's bothering me...
55

Ena

Listen

Huh?
56

Mizuki

Listen

I have nothing to talk about...
57

Ena

Listen

What do you mean...?
58

Mizuki

Listen

*Gasp*
59

Mizuki

Listen

Sorry, I guess I'm not as well as I thought I was! I'm fine otherwise, honest...!
60

Mizuki

So I'm gonna head home!

I'm worried sick and this is what I get told?!
75

Ena

Listen

Why won't Mizuki tell me anything...?!
76

Ena

Listen

A reason, a simple explanation, anything...!
77

Ena

Listen

Otherwise, I'm just gonna drive myself mad running around in circles in my head...
