<Okay, I like these motifs.
Let's go with this.>

<Yay!
Hehe. This video should be another good one♪>

<Yeah, I think so too...>

<Alright, let's keep this pace up and get back to work!>

<Okay, I'll do that...>

<Me too. I'll be muting myself for a while.>

<Got it!>

<And I'll be...>

<Oh, Amia, can you wait a second...?>

<Are you busy this Sunday?>

<Huh? Why?>

<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?>

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

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

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

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

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

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

<Haha. I'll be careful♪>

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

Hey, Ena!
Over here!

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

Are you sure you're okay, Mizuki?

Huh? Why? I feel fine.

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

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

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

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

Why does that feel like an insult?

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

Hey, wait for me!

Hmm...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mizuki...?

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

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

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

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

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

Oh...

Mizuki...

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

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

No...

Nothing's bothering me...

Huh?

I have nothing to talk about...

What do you mean...?

*Gasp*

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

So I'm gonna head home!

Mizuki, wait...!

Oh...

*Huff*... *Huff*...

Geez, I did it again...
I made her worry about me...

Ena is sharper than she lets on...

Huh...?

(My head... I feel dizzy...
What's happening...?)

Uh oh...

...

This can't be right...

I was handling everything just fine until now...

*Sigh*

Ugh! Seriously, what's going on?!
I'm worried sick and this is what I get told?!

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

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

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

However...

Maybe... Just maybe...
MEIKO might know something...

Okay, I'll try asking her.
