Kei: Firewood gathering sounds like more work, so I’ll go with Tsudzura-chan. Since you have your car, you should have no problem carrying everything, right?
Sakuya: Yeah, no problem here. It won’t change much for me whether you’re here or not, anyway.
Sakuya: In that case, I’ll go do some speed shopping and hit the road, then. I might even wind up passing the bus you’ll be riding.
Tsudzura: I will not deny such a possibility, but even should it happen, it won’t necessarily lead to a problem.
Kei: That’s right. You don’t have to be in such a rush, so just make sure you don’t forget anything.
Sakuya: Forgetting, huh. Though when the menu’s undecided, I can’t decide what to buy… what do you two feel like having?
Tsudzura-chan and I exchange a brief glance.
Kei & Tsudzura: Something delicious~
Sakuya: ……I wash my hands of you.
——————–
As we step down the ramp and disembark from the bus, even though we haven’t moved a great distance, the air seems strangely different.
Tsudzura: There is truly no place like home~
Tsudzura-chan gives a slight grunt and a stretch as she watches the bus grow distant.
And after spending the whole ride as motionless as a stuffed animal, Obana-chan also straightens his legs in a stretch.
Tsudzura: Anyway, it is a good thing we ran after the bus!
Kei: It really is. If we weren’t able to board that one, Sakuya-san would definitely have beat us home.
Tsudzura: Fufufu, though in such an event I had considered calling a taxi, that I did.
Kei: Uwa— But that’s a waste of money, though. I think it would’ve been better to call Sakuya-san and go with her, if that happened.
Tsudzura: But, wouldn’t that make you feel like we lost?
Kei: It’s not a bad thing if we lose, don’t you think? As long as no one’s unhappy, we should be okay with that.
Kei: But, seeing as we managed to come without any wait, how about we get our preparations done and go get some firewood?
