Keito: By the way, where do I need to go in order to procure those Chinese steamed buns?
Tsumugi: Well, we got them from a food truck that we just happened to find at the time.
A few days later I was passing through the same area, and they weren’t selling them there anymore, so it may be impossible to find the exact same steamed buns now.
But even if they’re not the very same ones, if you went to the school store or a Chinese restaurant they might have a similar kind?
Keito: Are pork buns still sold at this time of year, though? If they don’t sell them at the school store, I’ll have to head to the Chinese restaurant in the shopping district…
Well, no use overthinking it. I’d better go and check as soon as-…
Woah there! Oh, it’s the transfer student. You’ll give people a start if you stand right in front of the door like that. What’s the matter, do you have business in the student council room?
Aah, so you’re also bringing some documents over.
Sorry, there’s a crucial task that I have to complete right now, so I’ll be excusing myself for a moment. If you’re just submitting those documents, leave them on the desk over there. I’ll verify them sometime in the coming days and let you know if there are any errors.
Hm? What’s wrong, is there still something you need?
...Huh? If the ingredients for steamed buns are fine by themselves, you can get them ready for me?
Aah, you must’ve overheard me and Aoba talking.
Hmm. So there are leftovers from a cooking class in the cafeteria?
I see, so the leftovers are being kept in the fridge in the cafeteria kitchen. And you’re telling me I can use them if I’d like.
Tsumugi: Isn’t that great timing, Keito-kun? How about you accept the ingredients from Anzu-chan and make steamed buns by hand for the occasion?
Keito: I only considered buying them until now, so this strategy didn’t even cross my mind. But I’ve never made Chinese steamed buns before…
Hm? If I look it up on my smartphone, there are plenty of recipes online for that?
I see, so you’ve cooked many meals using recipes you’ve found online, transfer student.
Tsumugi: Oh yes, apparently lots of the recipes even have photos attached to them~. How about this one, it has really detailed quantities and instructions.
Keito: That makes sense, I guess even I can do it if all I need to do is follow a recipe.
...What? You want to help me out, transfer student?
Tsumugi: Keito-kun, I’d like to offer my help too, if that’s okay. The student council is pretty overwhelmed with work right now, isn’t it?
Keito: No, don’t the both of you have things that you should be doing instead? I can’t possibly accept such big favors from you.
While it’s true that there is still work left for me to do here, it’s mostly just sorting a few documents, so I’ll be fine by myself. And this work was my responsibility to begin with.
I’ll gladly accept the ingredients you offered, but I’ll attempt to make the steamed buns on my own. Why, it’ll be a cinch as long as I have a recipe.
Tsumugi: Okay. But at the very least, allow me to detain Sora-kun until you’re done cooking the steamed buns, Keito-kun.
Keito: Yeah, please do. Now that I’ve decided on a course of action, I better hurry to the kitchen at once. I’ll repay these debts to you two as soon as I get the chance, trust me.
Location: Hallway
Tsumugi: Keito-kun headed straight for the kitchen, huh~. But that only goes to show just how concerned he really is for Sora-kun.
Huh? What is it, Anzu-chan? You want to know what happened...?
Apparently, Sora-kun started crying after receiving a warning from Keito-kun for running in the hallways.
Yeah, I agree that Keito-kun’s sermons are frightening…
But it’s still strange for Sora-kun to cry because of something like that. It makes me wonder if there weren’t some greater circumstances involved.
Well, in any case it’s probably best to ask him directly.
Umm, I wonder where Sora-kun might be at this time… I guess I’ll drop by the game club first.
Location: Game Research Club Room
Tsumugi: Excuse me~, is Sora-kun here~?
Sora: HaHa~♪ Someone called Sora’s name~. Sora is right here! What’s the matter, Senpai?
Tsumugi: Ah, Sora-kun, I figured you’d be here. Here’s the thing…
Oh? I see Yuuki-kun is here as well.
Makoto: Hello, Aoba-senpai~♪
Do you need Harukawa-kun for something? In that case, I can leave…?
Tsumugi: Aah, there’s no need for that. So you two are playing videogames together today?
Sora: Yes! Shisho~ had something to do today and is absent, so Yuuki-sensei~ played together with Sora!
Makoto: I was free because the other guys from Trickstar aren’t around today. It was perfect timing.
Sora: Yuuki-sensei~ is incredible! He’s clearing all the games that were collecting dust in a corner after Shisho~ declared them garbage one after another!
Makoto: Ehehe, I’m not as great as you say. You get the hang of these kinds of games after speedrunning a bunch of them, and they’re actually not all that hard. The vital part is clearing your mind of all thoughts ♪
Sora: Sora wants to play this game next~. Senpai, do you want to join us?
Keito: By the way, where do I need to go in order to procure those Chinese steamed buns?
