A Morning Of Seeing And Sending Off

Season: Summer

Location: Seisoukan Kitchen

(The washed dishes have been placed in the drainer basket, the sink has been cleaned, and the garbage has been thrown away.)

(Now all that's left to do is to put the used pans back in their original places, and the cleanup will be finished.)

Ah! I saw a figure in the kitchen, and look who it is, it's Tatsumi-kun!

Oh, Hiyori-san. Good morning.

Are you about to cook something? What's on the menu for breakfast?

Ah, no, I just finished eating. I'm in the middle of cleaning up, and then I thought I'd make an after-meal drink.

Oh, you had a frying pan in your hand, so I thought you were going to start cooking!

But if you're going to make after-meal drinks, I'd like you to make one for me, too. Will you make coffee? Or tea?

I'm in the mood for tea this morning. Would you like some tea, too, Hiyori-san?

Of course ♪ I'm going to make some toast and have breakfast with the tea that Tatsumi-kun will make for me...♪

If you want to eat toast, I found some jam in the fridge that someone bought as a souvenir. Why don't you try it?

Huuh, that sounds great! I'll hurry up with my toast ♪

After some time

(Munching) ...(Gulp). By the way, I was wondering about something.

Yes, what is it?

I thought I woke up early today, despite the fact that I had to work in the afternoon. Even so, you had already finished cleaning up after breakfast.

Do you always have an early morning like today?

Yes, generally. I always tried to go to bed and get up early while I was living in the old building, so I'm continuing that habit.

As for today, I may have woken up exceptionally earlier than usual.

Exceptionally?

I promised to serve breakfast to the ALKALOID members this morning.

That's why I woke up earlier than usual, to have enough time to get ready.

After that, the four of us had breakfast together and I saw the three of them off outside the dormitory on their way to school. It was a nice morning...♪

Hmm, I didn't know that was the case. I'm glad to hear that everyone in ALKALOID is getting along so well...♪

I remember last year I had Jun-kun cook me breakfast, lunch and dinner—

...Mm?

What's wrong?

No, I suddenly realized it while remembering my days at Reimei.

Tatsumi-kun, aren't you going to school?

...Aah.

No, no, don't just go "aah"! I thought I heard that you've returned to Reimei Academy, or am I just imagining things?

No, you didn't imagine it. All of us in ALKALOID have returned to school, and I've returned to Reimei Academy too, more or less.

More or less... What does that mean?

I have to work, so I don't go to school every day. I guess I'm just getting used to going back.

You made me realize that today I was supposed to attend.

It's a little concerning that you're taking it so easy... If it means you're getting used to it, then it can't be helped.

So, are you going to school today? Or not?

Hmm, I think I'm going to at least show up. Attendance is very important.

Well, if that's the case... I'll be the one to send you off on your way to Reimei!

You will, Hiyori-san?

Because, you've already sent off the members of your unit, haven't you? It's so sad that you're the only person who doesn't get to be sent off by anyone.

Here, after you finish your after-meal tea, go change into your school uniform! I'll send you off without fail...♪

Location: Seisoukan Common Room

—Thank you for waiting. I've changed my clothes.

Wow, you look great!

I've worn it myself and I'm used to seeing Jun-kun in it, but seeing Tatsumi-kun in his uniform is something new...♪

It's a bit unbearable to be observed so hard. I haven't worn this costume for a considerable amount of time.

Ahaha. It's a natural thing to think after graduation, but isn't it a little too early for you to call it a "costume", Tatsumi-kun?

But as long as you are working in this kind of business, you may wear it anytime and anywhere.

That's right. I'm still a student, but somehow I don't have enough awareness of that.

Tatsumi-kun is always so composed.

...By the way, how do you get to the school? What's the route from Seisoukan?

I use public transportation. How does Jun-san do it?

If there is a chance to go to school together in the future, I would like to go with him.

Hmm, it might not be a good idea to go with him. That boy sometimes runs to and from school, which would tire Tatsumi-kun out!

He even uses the route to school as training material... Fufu. Jun-san is very passionate.

He's a dedicated kid who works hard to improve himself, after all.

—Wait?

If we keep talking, you won't be able to go to school, and I'll be unable to see you off!

Fufu, it feels strange to have Hiyori-san see me off...

What do you think, is my tie bent? Is there anything strange?

Mm, there are no problems! You look really good!

Thank you very much. Well then, I think it's time for me to leave.

Okay, take care! Enjoy your school life ♪

Enjoy...

?

(I wondered how I could have spent my school life back after all these years, but...)

(I might as well. It would be more rewarding for me if I could find some enjoyment in it instead of spending it in idleness.)

That's right. As Hiyori-san said, I hope I can enjoy it. It was nice to talk with you before going to school.

I'm glad I got to spend time with you, too. And thank you for the delicious tea...♪

It was my pleasure.

Well then—I'll be going now.
