“Asuka~ the porridge is ready.” (Ouka)

“Ah… Thank you, Ouka…” (Asuka)

“I didn’t expect you to get hit by the combo of muscle pain and a cold tho.” (Ouka)

“Maybe I used up all my strength… I wonder if my immune system weakened?” (Asuka)

“Well, I’d say the cause is more likely the pajama fashion show, wouldn’t you agree?” (Ouka)

“But… I wanted you to see my cute negligee…” (Asuka)

“It was too thin. And besides, that wasn’t a negligee, it was one of those babydoll things, right? It was so see-through that I didn’t know where to look.” (Ouka)

“I wish you had looked at me more tho… *cough* *cough*” (Asuka)

“Stop joking around at a time like this. Come on, eat it quickly, and then get warm and go to sleep.” (Ouka)

“Okay~ Ahh~ give it to me.” (Asuka)

“…Seriously?” (Ouka)

“Yep, but this time, I’m sick so pamper me~” (Asuka)

“Alright, alright. So, what do you want with the porridge? Pickled plum or Kombu (kelp seaweed)?” (Ouka)

“Pickled plum.” (Asuka)

“Got it.” (Ouka)

“Suddenly craving sour things… could it be… I’m pregnant?” (Asuka)

“The porridge is ready. Unfortunately, it seems like I have also caught a cold so I can’t feed you.” (Ouka)

“No way!! Don’t do this to me…!!” (Asuka)

“You’re actually feeling better now, aren’t you?” (Ouka)

“…Actually, I’m in a lot of pain… I just wanted to lighten the mood…” (Asuka)

“Don’t push yourself so much!! Don’t make me worry any more than I already am!! Look, I’ll hang out with you as much as you want after you recover… Here…” (Ouka)

“Mm… Ouka, you’re porridge is delicious. Have you gotten better at cooking?” (Asuka)

“That’s an exaggeration. It’s nothing compared to Asuka’s cooking.” (Ouka)

“I can feel Ouka’s love…” (Asuka)

“Yeah, yeah. I put plenty of love into it, so eat up and go to sleep.” (Ouka)

“Okay~ When I wake up, I think I’ll be sweating, so will you wipe it off for me?” (Asuka)

“Alright, alright.” (Ouka)

“Will you give me a goodnight kiss?” (Asuka)

“Alrig… no, we’re not doing that.” (Ouka)

“Aww. I heard that giving kisses can make you recover faster.” (Asuka)

“Don’t try to infect me. Just go to sleep quietly.” (Ouka)

Thanks for reading!

To be honest, I don’t really have much to write here since each chapter is so short. I guess you can just enjoy the fluff.

“Boss, there were two high school couples here.” (Kamizuru)

“Yes, Kamizuru-san. It’s heartwarming, isn’t it?” (Aketagawa)

“Even though it’s summer vacation, they’re still going to school…?” (Kamizuru)

“Well, there are still supplementary lessons and club activities, so that’s probably it.” (Aketagawa)

“I see. One of the couples was our usual couple, but they were closer than usual, and the other couple seemed a bit suspicious.” (Kamizuru)

“Kamizuru-san, you can’t call our customers suspicious.” (Aketagawa)

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t help but be jealous of them. Also, the last two looked like a high school student and child together.” (Kamizuru)

“You’re jealous of them?” (Aketagawa)

“Yeah… Would it be weird for a girl like me who has eyes like a delinquent to say that?” (Kamizuru)

“Not at all. Kamizuru-san, I think you’re a lovely woman.” (Aketagawa)

“…Boss, even if it’s just flattery, I’m happy.” (Kamizuru)

“It’s not flattery. Occasionally, there are even customers who ask me to tell them more about you.” (Aketagawa)

“That’s news to me.” (Kamizuru)

“Some were even asking me about where you live. Of course, I kept it to myself. You don’t mind, do you?” (Aketagawa)

“I don’t mind. Oh, so does that mean you’ll occasionally give me a ride in your car?” (Kamizuru)

“If it’s late at night. It would be bad if something happened to you.” (Aketagawa)

“Boss, you’re such a gentleman, aren’t you?” (Kamizuru)

“It’s only natural to want to protect my important colleague whom I work with.” (Aketagawa)

“Colleagues, huh…” (Kamizuru)

“Yep.” (Aketagawa)

“It’s fine to treat me like a girl, you know?” (Kamizuru)

“Treat you like a girl? Kamizuru-san, I think you’re a cute girl tho?” (Aketagawa)

“I didn’t mean it in that sense… Well, never mind. I’m going to go replenish the supplies.” (Kamizuru)

“Thank you. Please take care.” (Aketagawa)

“…Boss, will you also give me a ride home today?” (Kamizuru)

“Sure, gladly.” (Aketagawa)

“Alright! I’ll work hard for today!” (Kamizuru)

“Good luck…! *whisper* Kamizuru-san, you are really charming, you know?” (Aketagawa)

Thanks for reading!

For context, the suspicious couple is our side character from the previous chapter. They looked sus because Hishiki looked short.

Apparently, there are 3 sets of recurring characters for these side stories and the author has done a character introduction for them before. So here’s a link to that.

Anyways, I’m gonna do a shameless promotion here. If you like this series, you will probably enjoy this other series I translated a few months ago. It’s a oneshot so feel free to read it and move on with life. It’s called “How to Make a Childhood Friend! ~If You Don’t Have a Childhood Friend, You Can Just Make One!?~”

“It’s so creepy to be at school with no one around… I never thought I’d end up falling asleep in the library.” (Hishiki)

“Hishiki, what a coincidence. Would you like to walk home together?” (Dateyama)

“Uupyaaa?!” (Hishiki)

“Ouh, it’s been a while since I heard Hishiki’s peculiar voice.” (Dateyama)

“Dateyama… are you leaving school too? You’re not following me, are you…?!” (Hishiki)

“No no no, it’s not like that. It’s really just a coincidence. I just had a supplementary class today. Hishiki being here is the more unusual sight.” (Dateyama)

“Um… I just had a little errand to run and ended up here.” (Hishiki)

“Errand… could it be… that thing?” (Dateyama)

“That thing? Ah, it’s Toriyabe-senpai! And… Hananoki-senpai? What are the two of them doing at school?” (Hishiki)

“Who knows? But Hananoki-senpai’s way of walking seems strange.” (Dateyama)

“C-Could it be…?!” (Hishiki)

“What’s wrong, Hishiki?” (Dateyama)

“Those two… could they have… ended up in a man and woman relationship?!” (Hishiki)

“Huh?” (Dateyama)

“During the summer break, the two of them in a different atmosphere than usual, intoxicated by their feverish excitement,  went to each other’s rooms, eventually leading to their first intimate experience?!” (Hishiki)

“No, umm… Hishiki-san?” (Dateyama)

“After their first intimate experience, the two of them, filled with their mutual feelings, reminisced about their memories together in the empty classroom, and then, gradually, they began to express their love for each other…” (Hishiki)

“Calm down.” (Dateyama)

“Pyan?!” (Hishiki)

“Oh, a new scream.” (Dateyama)

“D-D-D-D-D-D-Dateyama?! What are you suddenly doing?! You scared me!!” (Hishiki)

“Well, I thought it might help you calm down.” (Dateyama)

“C-Calm… I-I’m calm now…” (Hishiki)

“Hishiki is surprisingly reserved, huh?” (Dateyama)

“Ugh!! I-I’m not… that reserved…” (Hishiki)

“You don’t have to deny it. I’ve grown to like you even more.” (Dateyama)

“T-That’s… um, okay, let’s just go check on the senpais for a bit.” (Hishiki)

“Alrighty. I’m curious too, so let’s just take a little peek from afar.” (Dateyama)

Thanks for reading!

Right, I forgot there are a lot of other PoV’s that tie back into the previous chapter. I’ll just call these side stories so that you don’t get confused.

Also, did these two showed up before? I don’t remember.

“I can’t believe that something as stupid as leaving your summer homework at school can actually happen.” (Ouka)

“Ouka… walk a little slower… it still hurts a bit…!!” (Asuka)

“Oh oops. Hold onto me, and take it easy while walking” (Ouka)

“Sorry about dragging you into this. And thanks for coming to get my homework with me.” (Asuka)

“You have no idea how surprised I was when I came to your room to do homework with you only to find an empty desk.” (Ouka)

“I was surprised to find nothing there too, you know?” (Asuka)

“It would have been better if you had left your homework back at school on purpose. That look of despair you had did not help.” (Ouka)

“I thought for sure Ouka would be angry with me.” (Asuka)

“I’m not angry, just bewildered.” (Ouka)

“Although, I never imagined that I would end up coming to school in the evening when I don’t have supplementary classes…” (Asuka)

“Well, I’m glad that we noticed it early. If I hadn’t come to Asuka’s room, we might have never found out about this.” (Ouka)

“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since Ouka came to my room… and for this to happen on such a day…” (Asuka)

“I get what you mean. It’s always been in my room. It’s been a while since I last saw Asuka’s room, but it’s really changed a lot from what I remembered…” (Ouka)

“Was it a cute room like you’d expect from a beautiful girl?” (Asuka)

“No, I just never expected it to be a room decorated with merchandise of your favorite characters all over the place. And all of them are female characters, too.” (Ouka)

“I don’t really like male characters. They’re not very moe, I guess.” (Asuka)

“Hmm. Well, I suppose that’s one way to look at it. Anyways, grab onto me. Let’s head to the classroom.” (Ouka)

“Alright, alright.” (Asuka)

“Now, what should we do about the stairs…” (Ouka)

“I request a piggyback ride…” (Asuka)

“A piggyback ride, huh…” (Ouka)

“I’ll press my breasts against your back, so please. You can enjoy it shaking.” (Asuka)

“Do your best to endure and walk. I’ll be cheering you on.” (Ouka)

“Ouka onii~ Onii~chan… Ah, should I call you onii-chan for today?” (Asuka)

“Stop changing the subject.” (Ouka)

Thanks for reading!

So, anybody remember this series? I remember reading it a looong time ago but only today was I wondering what happened to it. 

Well, I still don’t really know what happened to it, but there are still some chapters left and it hasn’t been updated in years so I’ll go ahead and finish it. 

Chapters are super short so I can probably post often. I never re-read any of the earlier chapters but I think the chapters are pretty independent of one another so it should be fine.
