Ramona
Phew, I'm home~ How did the part-time jobs go for you three-

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari
...

Ramona
(T-the atmosphere is heavy...! That means everyone else didn't get good results either.)

Hikari
I got scolded for late deliveries... I ran a lot, but I kept going to the wrong places...

Ramona
I-I see. That must have been tough...

Koyomi
I also made several mistakes, like forgetting to collect payment... Thankfully everyone was kind, but I'm utterly embarrassed.

Ramona
W-well, if the customers forgave you, that's good.

Lilja
I was cautioned by the staff. They said being polite is good, but I should hurry up a bit.

Ramona
I see... I had a similar experience. I was working at a café, but I made various mistakes.

Ramona
I couldn't remember the differences between various sweets or the long custom menu items. Kathrina happened to visit and ended up worrying about me.

Ramona
To think it would be this hard for just one day, part time work is difficult.

Hikari
I've helped at Xue's ramen shop before, but I didn't know working part time alone would be this challenging.

Koyomi
To think part time work would be this harsh...

Lilja
I was surprised too.

Ramona
Yeah. It's hard to be a part timer when you're only doing it for one day...

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari/Ramona
...

Xue
What's going on here? Everyone's looking so gloomy. Did you all catch a cold too?

Ramona
Xue!?

Hikari
Xue! How are you feeling?

Xue
As you can see, I'm in top form.

Lilja
Really?

Xue
Who do you think I am? A day in bed is more than enough to beat a cold.

Lilja
You don't look it. Let me feel your forehead? Or would you rather take off your clothes?

Xue
I'm not taking anything off! Why do you always-

Lilja
Mm.

Xue
Eek!

Lilja
Terrible fever. Lying isn't beautiful.

Xue
S-shut up...! I can't stay in bed any longer. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

Ramona
Are you worried about us? Then there's no need. We've gotten quite used to the work after today. Right, everyone?

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari
...

Ramona
(Hey, everyone...)

Ramona
I see. Then it can't be helped. Xue, tomorrow only I will help. Is that alright?

Xue
...

Ramona
(Why is Xue silent too...?)

Xue
Sorry, Germany. I've got a message from my workplace.

Ramona
What does that mean-

Koyomi
Ramona-san.

Ramona
Koyomi?

Koyomi
We shouldn't make Xue-san say everything.

Ramona
I...see...

Hikari
Xue, I'm sorry. Instead of helping, we just created more trouble...

Xue
I should be the one apologising. This all started because of me... And because of that, I made you all go through this.

Ramona
...

Xue
I know this isn't like me, but...

Xue
Th-thank you. Your feelings really made me happy.

Xue
Koyomi-san, thank you for going out of your way too.

Koyomi
I-I...

Xue
Well then, goodnight everyone. Make sure you wash your hands and gargle properly.

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari
...

Lilja
Xue was kind of gentle.

Ramona
Damn it!

Hikari
Ramo-san...

Ramona
I couldn't say anything to help Xue. I hate how pathetic I am.

Koyomi
That's not like you, Ramona-san.

Ramona
Koyomi...? What do you mean...

Koyomi
I fully expected you to say something like, "Then we'll think of the next plan!"

Ramona
...!

Lilja
I thought so too.

Hikari
Yeah, yeah! Even though we kept messing up, there must be something we can do!

Ramona
Everyone...fufu. Indeed, getting discouraged and giving up isn't like me at all!

Ramona
Taking over her part time jobs only added to Xue's burden. So next, let's do something that will cheer up Xue who's fallen ill!

Lilja
When the body is tired, yoga is good... Pilates is good too.

Koyomi
It might be a bit harsh to make Xue-san exercise, even yoga, in her current state.

Ramona
Baths and saunas use up energy. They're perfect for relieving fatigue, but...

Hikari
Then how about cooking for Xue!? When you eat delicious food, you get full of energy!

Ramona
I see...that's a good idea indeed. With cooking, there's a lot we can do by following recipes.

Koyomi
In that case, how about making a bento? Xue-san is going to work tomorrow, so she could eat the bento then.

Hikari
That's true! Recharging energy during break time!

Lilja
A beautiful bento that gives energy. That's what we'll make.

Ramona
It's decided. Then tomorrow morning, we'll borrow this kitchen and make a bento!
