Meline, who is training at Amanda's restaurant, also comes in early in the morning to help prepare the food.
She wants to learn the work procedures and recipes as soon as possible and reopen the restaurant that her father left her.
I really want to give my foolish brother Nicola a cup of nail polish to roast.
Amanda has also listened to what he has to say and is eager to give him some guidance.
I asked her if it's okay for the same Volzard to have a business rival, and she said she doesn't want to lose, even if it's someone who trained at her place, and she'd rather have a rival because they can improve and grow with each other, so she'd rather welcome it.
Amanda, you look like a cool shounen hero.
That's why Meline has joined us at the breakfast table, making the morning even livelier.
Meline-san, did Kurtz-san say anything to you?
Yeah, Mr. Kurtz comes over for lunch sometimes.
Of course, they'll be happy to come for Meline's, and this time they'll be happy to see the good taste.
The number of male customers has increased, and the sales have increased a lot, which is a big help.
Today is the day of rest, so guilds and other places are closed, but many restaurants and shops are closed on the darkest day of the week, and Amanda-san's shop is also open for business as usual.
And Meisa, who lost her position as the shop's signboard girl to Meline, is ready to help out at the shop to get back on the right track.
'Don't hang around, Kent's in the way,'
"Okay, okay, okay, okay....
After breakfast, I thought about what I was going to do today, and then I remembered that I hadn't explained anything to the five people I rescued about how to take a job or anything else.
The day before yesterday, I took them to the guild to look for a job, but I talked to Donovan-san and then collapsed in a revenge match with Gillik and sent him to the infirmary.
Furthermore, Muel-san gave me a sleeping potion, and when I woke up, Donovan-san took me to treat Beatrice, and then I collapsed again, and it wasn't until yesterday evening that I came back.
In the end, the five of us are in a state of complete neglect, right?
I mean, isn't my routine too hard?
From what Muel said yesterday, the new and old duo seems to be fine, as they seem to miss Giriq, and the bumpy sisters are probably okay, too.
The problem is Gase Megane, who was in a neat line.
I used Muell-san as bait and took her to the guild, but Gilique cotenched her and I don't know what's going on after that.
I'm still worried, so let's go take a look at it.
''Amanda-san, I'm going to come out for a little while until the evening.
Hey, baby, I want you to have a safe and sound bodyguard, so don't worry, you'll be fine.
Yes, I'm off!
I called out to Amanda and just as I was walking out the back door, I stood on a stick in surprise.
'Manon...?'
Oh, good morning Kent.
Manon, usually dressed in a pair of dapper trousers and a large shirt, is wearing a skirt.
She's wearing a light blue dress that matches her hair, a dark brown half-coat, and short boots with a pretty flower decoration on her feet.
It's bad, it's cute, it's very girly.
Doesn't it look good on me...?
I can only shake my head in a wordless pull at Manon, who asks me while moping, and I can't do anything but shake my head.
''Does it look good on you...?''
I could only nod my head, but when I felt a sudden glance and looked toward the alley, the shadow quickly disappeared.
When I gazed at them, the two faces peeking at me vertically side by side from the shadows, I see why it's called Uneven Sisters Produce.
But........good! If I didn't have anyone in my way anymore, I would squeak, squeak and hug you.......sorry, I'm lying, I don't have the courage to do that.
He's so cute.........so cute.........
Really?
'Yeah ... really cute ...'
Kuhhhh it's hard to be too cute with a small bouncing manon.
'Was Kent about to go out somewhere?'
'What?
Uh ... do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I mean, aren't those the clothes you bought the other day?
'Ugh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to waste your money...'
Oh no I've sent you into a slumping mode.
''Oh, no, no, I'm not mad at you, it's okay, Giga Wolf sold well, so you don't have to worry about it.
Really?
'Yeah, yeah, really, really ... it's really cute.'
Huh....
Oh, I covered my face with my hands and turned around, but my rear view is cute too.
'I can't even put Kent in the corner........'
'Yeah, yeah, Kent's a sweetheart...'
But Kent's a sketchy one.
Hey, don't be silly, Meisa!
And, for now, I feel like I'm here poorly.
'Manon, Manon, come with me...'
Uh, yeah...
I'm going to the Liebling farm!
I take Manon's hand and go into the alley opposite the alley where the Bumpy Sisters are.
I was going to ask how Yagi was doing, but I'll put it off for now.
Fast forward down the alley and further into another alley, I duck into the shadow of a pile of boxes, and then I square out more dark shields and use them as an impulse to hide.
'Oh, he's not there, where did he go?'
Tomo-chan, there's an alleyway ahead!
No, you're not going to get away from me...
I think it's called a "li-bulb enchantment" or something like that.
Okay, let's go, Acchan!
Roger that, Tomo!
With a slamming sound, two footsteps moved away down the alley.
I held my breath until I couldn't hear the footsteps anymore.
I'm so busy hiding that I'm hugging Manon in the shadows.
I calmed my thumping heart with a deep breath and then whispered to Manon.
'Manon, I need to go check on Yagi I want to go check on Yusuke, if that's okay?'
'Yeah...'
As I turn off the dark shield and step out front, Manon grabs my hand.
I was a little startled, but I boldly re-clasp my fingers as if to intertwine them.
This time, Manon was surprised, but he squeezed my hand back.
I want to go straight to the garrison's temporary quarters, but I'm sweating...I hope they don't think I'm creepy.
People on the road are throwing warm and murderous glances at me.
Heeha--! I have a rear end!
Oh, after all, let's forget about the gaseous glasses and go play somewhere else, shall we?
"Yusuke....I'm a little worried about him too...
'Oh, really? What's wrong?
'Well how should I put it, Gillik-san spotted me...'
'Oh you looked like a rag...'
Yeah... after that, Kazuki and Tatsuya? It looks like he was dragged away by two of the........
Oh yeah, so what happened yesterday?
I only saw Tomoko and Akemi yesterday, so I don't know...
It looks like I should go check it out for a bit, after all.
I had no choice, so I went to the garrison's temporary quarters, but Yagi was out somewhere and I couldn't see him.
''I wonder where that Yagi guy went?
You want me to go look for him?
'Ummm I think you'll be fine if you went out to distract yourself, so you don't have to go.
Okay, well, why don't we go up the ramparts?
'The walls? Fine......
I don't know what it is, there are no more dead rock ogres, and I wonder if Manon is that fond of going up the city walls.
I was surprised when I climbed up the city wall as I was invited to.
The scenery has changed completely since I went up there last time.
Even if you look to your right or left, there were couples everywhere.
Some of them were about our age, but most of them were older and more adorable.
Naturally, the degree of closeness is different.
It's not like they're just holding hands and being thrilled, it's more of a snug, goofy attachment.
They're kissing here and there, and it's not unusual for couples to be kissing passionately, like, "Mmmm....
'Well, um.......is this how it's always like this on the Sabbath day.......'
Yeah, well, I guess I am...
The peach-colored space, which I never imagined I would be in, makes me feel fuzzy in the head.
I've heard that even in Japan there are dating spots and places for couples to get together, but I've never been there, and of course, I didn't have a girl to go with me.
It was kind of like, rather than going up an adult staircase, I got off the elevator and suddenly I was on the adult floor... I didn't even know what to do, so I just walked over the walls of the city, not knowing what to do.
The air was too peachy, I couldn't even raise my gaze and my heart kept racing.
If I glanced at her, Manon's neck was dyed in vermillion, and it was indescribably glamorous.
''Ma, Manon.......I think it's a bit early for us here.......''
"Uh, yeah I think so too...
Manon, are your eyes rolling over? You're pushing it too hard.
I pulled Manon's hand, who looked like he was on the verge of turning his eyes, and turned around and went down from the castle wall.
But when I'm a little more mature, I'll be able to.......what are you talking about?
As I got back near the gate, I went back to the garrison's quarters once more to see if Yagi had come back while I was there.
Yagi hadn't come back, but I met someone I didn't expect.
''Oh Kent-san, thank you so much for the help you gave my daughter yesterday.
Oh, Marianne, no, thank you very much for being overpaid, too.
Marianne-san, dressed in a garrison uniform, looks twice as dignified.
''Just fine, come on Reece, you should thank me properly.
Beatrice was hiding behind Marianne, but she seemed to be staring at me and Manon.
Her physical condition seemed to be completely back to normal, and when she quickly stood beside Marianne-san, I could feel the same aura as when we first met.
She plucked at her skirt with both hands, bent down lightly and made a graceful, enthralling bow before she opened her mouth.
'Lord Kent, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life.
'Yes, yes ... no, I just did what I could ...'
'Still, you saved a life that Volzard's healers gave up, and I can't find the words to thank you for it. Besides....
Yeah, and...?
Beatrice glanced at Manon and threw a glance in Manon's direction, and then put her hands to her cheeks as if she were ashamed.
''If you've been stroked all over your body I can't go to the bride anymore.
'Kent what's this all about?'
Iiiiiii........Manon, my finger.......my finger is broken.......my finger is broken....
'No, no, no, that's a treatment... well, I mean, it's a no count...'
And even the people who are around the garrison have started talking about it out of the blue, Beatrice.
But if your highnesses have seen you without any regard for their appearance, will you take responsibility for that?
Yeah, well, I guess you could call it a responsibility...
Stop covering your breasts with your hands! It's as if I've committed an outrageous act, isn't it?
It's not that I'm completely innocent, but that was just part of the treatment.......or rather, I seem to have lost the sensation from the tips of my left hand's fingers......
I was covered in cold sweat all over my body and was scurrying around, Beatrice approached me with a smile of composure, and gave me a hug as if she were hanging on to me.
In a groan of "oooh........", Beatrice kisses me on the cheek and then licks her lips with a perturbing lick.
Are Volzard's rabbits carnivorous?
Mr. Kent, you may call me Reece from now on.
Ha-hi....
Well, now, excuse me, Mother, let's go.
No, Marianne-san, don't look like a yare, please say something to him.
I mean, what do you want me to do when I'm surrounded by the warm gazes of the garrison and Manon's gaze, which is piercing like a sharp blade from the left, what do you want me to do?
Kent you're going to tell me more about it, aren't you?
Sure, of course...
Kent, look at me...
'Ugh ... oh, that was just a tease ...'
Did you touch it?
Ugh but it's for the cure...
Did you touch...?
Yes, yes....
"Kent's flirt!
Huh....
Sono, that's right..........and then Manon leaves.
By the way, Manon, you're wearing a skirt today, you can't walk so lazily.
''Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This voice is.........Yagi.......
When I looked back towards the direction of the voice, I saw Yagi pointing at me with his belly in his hands, laughing and rolling around.
''You know what, Kokubun, you're........on our side!
No, no, no, I don't think that's a dignified thing to say, but....
Look, it's a thousand years too early for you to try and make friends with a pretty girl before I do!
No, you won't live for a thousand years.
'Of course, that's why, if you want a girlfriend, you must first introduce me to this lovely girl. That way, all will be made whole!
''Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell Gillik-san that Yagi is after Muell-san...''
Dumbass! What are you talking about, you have no idea how badly you've hurt me. Don't give me that bullshit! Because I'm not thinking big time about going after your cat-eared sister!
He must have been treated by Giriq so much, Yagi is too desperate.
''Yes, yes, yes, I'm not aiming, I'm not aiming, I'm not aiming, but I'm going to tell Gilique that I was gazing at Muel-san's chest...''
'Idiot! That's even worse!
But you saw that, right?
Eh.........no......how was it?
There's no point in blurting it out, because there's no reason not to see it.
'Yes, I'll report that I saw it!
If you say so, I'll say you've been staring at it too!
Okay, it doesn't matter... eventually I'll make Gillik cawl...
You ... are you seriously thinking about that?
Yeah, I'm going to... report back to you!
'Wait, wait, wait, wait, Kokubun, that's right, let's talk about it, aren't we the ones we've been summoned to be with?
What's to talk about, you were pointing at people and laughing at them....
Hey, let's rethink this, Kokubun-kun, Kokubun-san? Kokubun-sama!
'Will you start working hard tomorrow? If I'm going to work, I won't report it.
Kinda dirty, Kokubun...
Yes, report....
All right! Work, I guess I'll just work....d*mn it....
Okay, I'll be back to pick you up in the morning, so stay awake.
All right.....
Well, I was able to achieve my original goal, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to face Manon tomorrow.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Meline, who is training at Amanda's restaurant, also comes in early in the morning to help prepare the food.She wants to learn the work procedures and recipes as soon as possible and reopen the restaurant that her father left her.I really want to give my foolish brother Nicola a cup of nail polish to roast.Amanda has also listened to what he has to say and is eager to give him some guidance.I asked her if it's okay for the same Volzard to have a business rival, and she said she doesn't want to lose, even if it's someone who trained at her place, and she'd rather have a rival because they can improve and grow with each other, so she'd rather welcome it.Amanda, you look like a cool shounen hero.That's why Meline has joined us at the breakfast table, making the morning even livelier.Meline-san, did Kurtz-san say anything to you?Yeah, Mr. Kurtz comes over for lunch sometimes.Of course, they'll be happy to come for Meline's, and this time they'll be happy to see the good taste.The number of male customers has increased, and the sales have increased a lot, which is a big help.Today is the day of rest, so guilds and other places are closed, but many restaurants and shops are closed on the darkest day of the week, and Amanda-san's shop is also open for business as usual.And Meisa, who lost her position as the shop's signboard girl to Meline, is ready to help out at the shop to get back on the right track.'Don't hang around, Kent's in the way,'"Okay, okay, okay, okay....After breakfast, I thought about what I was going to do today, and then I remembered that I hadn't explained anything to the five people I rescued about how to take a job or anything else.The day before yesterday, I took them to the guild to look for a job, but I talked to Donovan-san and then collapsed in a revenge match with Gillik and sent him to the infirmary.Furthermore, Muel-san gave me a sleeping potion, and when I woke up, Donovan-san took me to treat Beatrice, and then I collapsed again, and it wasn't until yesterday evening that I came back.In the end, the five of us are in a state of complete neglect, right?I mean, isn't my routine too hard?From what Muel said yesterday, the new and old duo seems to be fine, as they seem to miss Giriq, and the bumpy sisters are probably okay, too.The problem is Gase Megane, who was in a neat line.I used Muell-san as bait and took her to the guild, but Gilique cotenched her and I don't know what's going on after that.I'm still worried, so let's go take a look at it.''Amanda-san, I'm going to come out for a little while until the evening.Hey, baby, I want you to have a safe and sound bodyguard, so don't worry, you'll be fine.Yes, I'm off!I called out to Amanda and just as I was walking out the back door, I stood on a stick in surprise.'Manon...?'Oh, good morning Kent.Manon, usually dressed in a pair of dapper trousers and a large shirt, is wearing a skirt.She's wearing a light blue dress that matches her hair, a dark brown half-coat, and short boots with a pretty flower decoration on her feet.It's bad, it's cute, it's very girly.Doesn't it look good on me...?I can only shake my head in a wordless pull at Manon, who asks me while moping, and I can't do anything but shake my head.''Does it look good on you...?''I could only nod my head, but when I felt a sudden glance and looked toward the alley, the shadow quickly disappeared.When I gazed at them, the two faces peeking at me vertically side by side from the shadows, I see why it's called Uneven Sisters Produce.But........good! If I didn't have anyone in my way anymore, I would squeak, squeak and hug you.......sorry, I'm lying, I don't have the courage to do that.He's so cute.........so cute.........Really?'Yeah ... really cute ...'Kuhhhh it's hard to be too cute with a small bouncing manon.'Was Kent about to go out somewhere?''What?Uh ... do you know what I'm saying?Yeah, I mean, aren't those the clothes you bought the other day?'Ugh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to waste your money...'Oh no I've sent you into a slumping mode.''Oh, no, no, I'm not mad at you, it's okay, Giga Wolf sold well, so you don't have to worry about it.Really?'Yeah, yeah, really, really ... it's really cute.'Huh....Oh, I covered my face with my hands and turned around, but my rear view is cute too.'I can't even put Kent in the corner........''Yeah, yeah, Kent's a sweetheart...'But Kent's a sketchy one.Hey, don't be silly, Meisa!And, for now, I feel like I'm here poorly.'Manon, Manon, come with me...'Uh, yeah...I'm going to the Liebling farm!I take Manon's hand and go into the alley opposite the alley where the Bumpy Sisters are.I was going to ask how Yagi was doing, but I'll put it off for now.Fast forward down the alley and further into another alley, I duck into the shadow of a pile of boxes, and then I square out more dark shields and use them as an impulse to hide.'Oh, he's not there, where did he go?'Tomo-chan, there's an alleyway ahead!No, you're not going to get away from me...I think it's called a "li-bulb enchantment" or something like that.Okay, let's go, Acchan!Roger that, Tomo!With a slamming sound, two footsteps moved away down the alley.I held my breath until I couldn't hear the footsteps anymore.I'm so busy hiding that I'm hugging Manon in the shadows.I calmed my thumping heart with a deep breath and then whispered to Manon.'Manon, I need to go check on Yagi I want to go check on Yusuke, if that's okay?''Yeah...'As I turn off the dark shield and step out front, Manon grabs my hand.I was a little startled, but I boldly re-clasp my fingers as if to intertwine them.This time, Manon was surprised, but he squeezed my hand back.I want to go straight to the garrison's temporary quarters, but I'm sweating...I hope they don't think I'm creepy.People on the road are throwing warm and murderous glances at me.Heeha--! I have a rear end!Oh, after all, let's forget about the gaseous glasses and go play somewhere else, shall we?"Yusuke....I'm a little worried about him too...'Oh, really? What's wrong?'Well how should I put it, Gillik-san spotted me...''Oh you looked like a rag...'Yeah... after that, Kazuki and Tatsuya? It looks like he was dragged away by two of the........Oh yeah, so what happened yesterday?I only saw Tomoko and Akemi yesterday, so I don't know...It looks like I should go check it out for a bit, after all.I had no choice, so I went to the garrison's temporary quarters, but Yagi was out somewhere and I couldn't see him.''I wonder where that Yagi guy went?You want me to go look for him?'Ummm I think you'll be fine if you went out to distract yourself, so you don't have to go.Okay, well, why don't we go up the ramparts?'The walls? Fine......I don't know what it is, there are no more dead rock ogres, and I wonder if Manon is that fond of going up the city walls.I was surprised when I climbed up the city wall as I was invited to.The scenery has changed completely since I went up there last time.Even if you look to your right or left, there were couples everywhere.Some of them were about our age, but most of them were older and more adorable.Naturally, the degree of closeness is different.It's not like they're just holding hands and being thrilled, it's more of a snug, goofy attachment.They're kissing here and there, and it's not unusual for couples to be kissing passionately, like, "Mmmm....'Well, um.......is this how it's always like this on the Sabbath day.......'Yeah, well, I guess I am...The peach-colored space, which I never imagined I would be in, makes me feel fuzzy in the head.I've heard that even in Japan there are dating spots and places for couples to get together, but I've never been there, and of course, I didn't have a girl to go with me.It was kind of like, rather than going up an adult staircase, I got off the elevator and suddenly I was on the adult floor... I didn't even know what to do, so I just walked over the walls of the city, not knowing what to do.The air was too peachy, I couldn't even raise my gaze and my heart kept racing.If I glanced at her, Manon's neck was dyed in vermillion, and it was indescribably glamorous.''Ma, Manon.......I think it's a bit early for us here.......''"Uh, yeah I think so too...Manon, are your eyes rolling over? You're pushing it too hard.I pulled Manon's hand, who looked like he was on the verge of turning his eyes, and turned around and went down from the castle wall.But when I'm a little more mature, I'll be able to.......what are you talking about?As I got back near the gate, I went back to the garrison's quarters once more to see if Yagi had come back while I was there.Yagi hadn't come back, but I met someone I didn't expect.''Oh Kent-san, thank you so much for the help you gave my daughter yesterday.Oh, Marianne, no, thank you very much for being overpaid, too.Marianne-san, dressed in a garrison uniform, looks twice as dignified.''Just fine, come on Reece, you should thank me properly.Beatrice was hiding behind Marianne, but she seemed to be staring at me and Manon.Her physical condition seemed to be completely back to normal, and when she quickly stood beside Marianne-san, I could feel the same aura as when we first met.She plucked at her skirt with both hands, bent down lightly and made a graceful, enthralling bow before she opened her mouth.'Lord Kent, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life.'Yes, yes ... no, I just did what I could ...''Still, you saved a life that Volzard's healers gave up, and I can't find the words to thank you for it. Besides....Yeah, and...?Beatrice glanced at Manon and threw a glance in Manon's direction, and then put her hands to her cheeks as if she were ashamed.''If you've been stroked all over your body I can't go to the bride anymore.'Kent what's this all about?'Iiiiiii........Manon, my finger.......my finger is broken.......my finger is broken....'No, no, no, that's a treatment... well, I mean, it's a no count...'And even the people who are around the garrison have started talking about it out of the blue, Beatrice.But if your highnesses have seen you without any regard for their appearance, will you take responsibility for that?Yeah, well, I guess you could call it a responsibility...Stop covering your breasts with your hands! It's as if I've committed an outrageous act, isn't it?It's not that I'm completely innocent, but that was just part of the treatment.......or rather, I seem to have lost the sensation from the tips of my left hand's fingers......I was covered in cold sweat all over my body and was scurrying around, Beatrice approached me with a smile of composure, and gave me a hug as if she were hanging on to me.In a groan of "oooh........", Beatrice kisses me on the cheek and then licks her lips with a perturbing lick.Are Volzard's rabbits carnivorous?Mr. Kent, you may call me Reece from now on.Ha-hi....Well, now, excuse me, Mother, let's go.No, Marianne-san, don't look like a yare, please say something to him.I mean, what do you want me to do when I'm surrounded by the warm gazes of the garrison and Manon's gaze, which is piercing like a sharp blade from the left, what do you want me to do?Kent you're going to tell me more about it, aren't you?Sure, of course...Kent, look at me...'Ugh ... oh, that was just a tease ...'Did you touch it?Ugh but it's for the cure...Did you touch...?Yes, yes...."Kent's flirt!Huh....Sono, that's right..........and then Manon leaves.By the way, Manon, you're wearing a skirt today, you can't walk so lazily.''Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!This voice is.........Yagi.......When I looked back towards the direction of the voice, I saw Yagi pointing at me with his belly in his hands, laughing and rolling around.''You know what, Kokubun, you're........on our side!No, no, no, I don't think that's a dignified thing to say, but....Look, it's a thousand years too early for you to try and make friends with a pretty girl before I do!No, you won't live for a thousand years.'Of course, that's why, if you want a girlfriend, you must first introduce me to this lovely girl. That way, all will be made whole!''Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell Gillik-san that Yagi is after Muell-san...''Dumbass! What are you talking about, you have no idea how badly you've hurt me. Don't give me that bullshit! Because I'm not thinking big time about going after your cat-eared sister!He must have been treated by Giriq so much, Yagi is too desperate.''Yes, yes, yes, I'm not aiming, I'm not aiming, I'm not aiming, but I'm going to tell Gilique that I was gazing at Muel-san's chest...'''Idiot! That's even worse!But you saw that, right?Eh.........no......how was it?There's no point in blurting it out, because there's no reason not to see it.'Yes, I'll report that I saw it!If you say so, I'll say you've been staring at it too!Okay, it doesn't matter... eventually I'll make Gillik cawl...You ... are you seriously thinking about that?Yeah, I'm going to... report back to you!'Wait, wait, wait, wait, Kokubun, that's right, let's talk about it, aren't we the ones we've been summoned to be with?What's to talk about, you were pointing at people and laughing at them....Hey, let's rethink this, Kokubun-kun, Kokubun-san? Kokubun-sama!'Will you start working hard tomorrow? If I'm going to work, I won't report it.Kinda dirty, Kokubun...Yes, report....All right! Work, I guess I'll just work....d*mn it....Okay, I'll be back to pick you up in the morning, so stay awake.All right.....Well, I was able to achieve my original goal, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to face Manon tomorrow.
