I Was Waiting for You

Since You Said So

Kokona: Kathrina-chan, next let’s ride that one!
Kathrina: Kokona, you’re not giving me a moment’s break…
Yae: But… Looks like if we don’t get in line now, that attraction will be packed, right?
Kathrina: Niizuma, you seem to be really enjoying yourself, huh?..
Shizuka: Being more active is sure to make you feel better. Come on, let’s go!
Kathrina: Oh dear… Fine, I get it…
Panda: Don’t be too hard on Kathrin~
Chisa: Panda, you’re not going?
Panda: I come here pretty often anyway. Today, I’ll just watch from the sidelines.
Panda: Aren’t you going to join them?
Chisa: Don’t feel like it. I’ll be their caretaker along with you.
Panda: Caretakers, huh… That makes us sound like parents who’ve brought their children to an amusement park.
Chisa: Then Panda is the father and I’m the mother, right?
Panda: No, shouldn’t it be vice versa?!
Chisa: Huh? But you’re really patient.
Panda: Hmm? Are you trying to say I’m more suited to be a strong father-figure?
Chisa: I guess so. Even now you’re watching over your precious daughter.
Panda: What do you mean?
Chisa: You’ve been worrying about Kathrina, haven’t you?
Panda: No, no. Panda has come here just to have fun.
Chisa: Well, if you say so.
Chisa: But… I think if anyone can support Kathrina now, it’s you.
Panda: …
Chisa: Though, you probably knew that without me telling you.
Panda: Well, Panda’s just being mindful of what’s going on around her.
Panda: But, alright… Since you said that, guess, I have no choice but to meddle a bit more.
Chisa: Yeah, that would be nice.
Panda: …Now it’s kind of annoying you’re pushing me into it.
Chisa: Let me do it once in a while.
Panda: Well, if it’s once in a while.

A Stray Shot

Panda: I’m back~ Ugh, it feels kind of chilly here after a bath…
Chisa: Welcome back. How was the bath?
Panda: Huh, you aren’t asleep yet?
Chisa: I was waiting for you.
Panda: Curious, aren’t you?
Chisa: Come on, let me hear your story. Kathrina… How is she?
Panda: …I wonder.
Panda: At least, I tried to support her the best way I could. Now the rest is up to her.
Panda: Well, I don’t think we should worry too much.
Chisa: Really?
Panda: Koko-chan and Oshizu-chan are there for her, after all.
Panda: That’s more important than any of my words.
Chisa: Similar to how it is for us, huh?
Panda: Ah?.. Wha…
Chisa: What’s wrong?
Panda: …say, Sassu, what are you aiming at?
Chisa: Aiming? Suddenly I’m a sniper?..
Panda: That’s not what I mean…
Chisa: Umm, Panda, are you okay?
Panda: Huh? What do you mean?
Chisa: Your cheeks look kinda red? Maybe you stayed in the bath for too long and caught a cold?..
Panda: I-I’m just fine! Well, enough talking! Time to go to bed!
Chisa: But you should at least take your temperature…
Panda: It’s fine, so let’s sleep!
Chisa: Well… If you feel worse, tell me right away, okay?
Panda: Honestly… You know so much about the strangest stuff, but don’t get something so simple…
Chisa: …did you say something?
Panda: I did not!
