Asamura-san and Yoyama-san
p1
"Be careful when you're out at night."
Mom would often tell me those words.
What does this modestly-living high school girl see in the darkness!?
p2-3
"There's a lot of dangerous people out there," she would say...
p4
The tests are over~
All the stuff relating to the tests have exited my brain.
I know that feeling.
Hey, since we finish in the morning, let's go hang out somewhere.
Sorry~ I've got my part-time job~
You a part-time beast or something?
Fine, I'll go to karaoke with the nothing-to-doer here.
Don't call me a nothing-to-doer. I do have nothing to do, though.
...
How about you, Asamura-chan?
!
...I'll
p5
have to pass on that.
You invited Asamura-san?
Yeah, but she turned me down.
Bye-bye~
I'd give up if I were you.
I've never seen that girl accept an invitation.
She's rather cold, or rather...
p6
I don't think she pays us any notice at all.
Today's the third Thursday of the month.
I'm so glad it's test season.
p7
It means I can take part
in Komusubi Supermarket's "All-the-Canned-Goods-You-Can-Stuff" event that only takes place on Thursdays...!
Okay, it's still 1:50pm...!
The end of the line for the all-you-can-stuff event is over here~
...Very well.
p8
Time for war...!
Phew~
p9
Three stacks of four...
12 in all...
The entry fee was 500 yen... so that's practically 7 cans for free...!
Supreme victory.
"Dirt cheap"?
Dirt Cheap - 198 yen (inc. tax)
No, I'm pretty sure Maruhachi had spinach on sale for 128 yen today!
68 yen for natto... Sold!
Milk for 200 yen too! I'm so buying that!!
Fufufu...
p10
I'm so happy~
Mom~
On your way home? Lemme carry that for you.
You surprised me~ Are you heading home from school too?
Pretty much.
Woah, that's heavy. What's for dinner?
I figured we'd have risotto tonight.
Eh? Alright! I love your risotto, Mom~
...I'm home.
p11
...
It's a little early, but I guess I'll have dinner.
p12
First, some garlic...
This much should do.
And next... the spoils of today's victory... canned mackerel!!
Mackerel
...We'll pour it all in, juices and all.
And once it's heated up, mix in some rice.
Move to a heat-resistant dish
add cheese and tomato, and then bake in the oven...
p13
Canned Mackerel and Tomato Risotto
Thanks for the food.
p14
Pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
Eating alone really does feel more free,
since I can season it how I want.
p15
Tests
Mom visit
It's next week, huh...
I was late home today,
so I didn't get to do much shopping...
But I got to buy manila clams at half price,
so this kind of hour isn't too shabby either...
p16
An incident...!?
p17
A-Are you okay!? Can you stand?
...Last orders?
I'll take another gra!
Here~<3
Gra? What?
[tn: short for "grapefruit sour" or "grapefruit chu-high"]
Please! Just one more!!
Gyaaah!
Please let go of me!
Gyan!
p18
Awaaaaah!
Blood!? Wh-What do I do...!?
A-Are you okay!?
...Guu
I can't exactly leave her here, so I guess I'll carry her...
My house is close by, after all.
Up we go.
...Ah.
p19
Well this is a rather disturbing visual.
Ehehe~...
What should I do...? Call the police...?
But how do I even go about explaining this...?
I should give her some of my unused tights...
p20
! ...Even at times like these, my stomach is so honest.
Dinner comes first.
I'll put some frozen udon in the microwave.
And once the water has boiled, I'll add my spoils for today...
a pack of de-sanded manila clams!
p21
...Something smells really good.
!
Thank goodness you're awake.
Fwah...
Um... I think I managed to gather all your scattered belongings.
Are you al-...
It looks really delicious.
What is it?
p22
It's udon with manila clams and sea lettuce.
The perfect thing after a drink!
It's for my dinner, y'hear!?
...
But I'm starving...
...
But I'm...
...I'll microwave you another ball of udon.
We can split the ingredients.
p23
THANKS FOR THE FOOD~
Thanks for the food...Udon with Manila Clams and Sea Lettuce
Mm... Hah~!!
p24
That hits the spot~
...W-Well,
I'm glad
you like it.
You're a really good cook! Do you live by yourself?
? Yes, more or less...
Eeh!? A high school girl like you!?
p25
...Erm.
I see, I see.
In that case,
how about I live with you?
p26
...Huh??
It's win-win, right?
What is!? In what way!?
? Don't worry. I've got money.
Take this as an apology for today.
!?
No, I don't need any money!?
Don't be modest!
Money is the only thing an office worker like me has going for her, after all.
Is that really a laughing matter...?
p27
Oh crap! I'm gonna miss the last train!
Ah.
What's your name, high schooler-chan?
Heh?
Ah.
It's... Asamura Ryouka.
Got it~
p28
I'm Yoyama Mio.
Let's have a gyoza party at your place next time!
Later.
...Huh?
A gyoza party...? When?
p29
"Be careful when you're out at night."
"There's a lot of dangerous people out there."
I feel more at ease when I'm alone...
...What a weirdo.
It's better when it's quiet.
!?
The door's unlocked!?
Ah.
p30
Welcome back~
...Why are you here!?
I went to your place and happened to run into your landlady~
I said I was your big sister and she let me in. lol
Could you let me in?
Pretty please~?
And you're just okay with that, my security system!?
But never mind that, Ryouka-chan.
No, I mind that very much...
p31
Let's have a gyoza party.
...
...Hm?
Minced Chicken Thigh
What is this?
? It's ingredients for gyoza.
No, this is chicken meat, isn't it!?
Ah.
p32
I forgot to buy the dough.
Were you even trying to make gyoza!?
...Think you can make something out of this?
...
Afterwards,
This is so good~
I feel nice and warm inside.
That makes one of us.
they turned it into chicken balls in miso soup.
