Okay, Mom, I'm off to take the practice exam...

Good luck, Mafuyu.
You won't be home much later than usual, right?

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, I have to see how I did for each question before I can come home, so I may run a little late. I'll let you know when I start heading back.

Mafuyu's Mother

Understood. I'll be wishing you the best, so please get there safe.

Wait, Mafuyu, what about your practice exam? Was there a last-minute schedule change or something?

If that's the case, you should've let us know that you were coming. Oh, who am I kidding...? At least we ran into you...

But since we're here...
I know it might be hard to get in the mood to have fun, so let's at least try to enjoy the scenery and stuff!
