Chapter 1 - That's why, I.

== A few days later ==
== After school ==

Moca : Hey--. How about we hang-out together after this?
Tomoe : We already do that yesterday after practice, you know? You want to do it again today?
Moca : Well, I'm in the mood to do that, We don't have any practice today, so let's do it~.
Ran : I'm sorry, I'm going to pass. I need to finish my work for the exhibition first. Then, see you later.
Himari : I see... Then see you later, Ran! It's just us for today then.

== Family restaurant ==

Tomoe : After that, Ako is---
Tsugumi : Tomoe-chan, it's already this late! We need to get going now.
Tomoe : Waa, You're right. Time flies so fast.
Moca : Ah, Then. Can we go to the Yamabuki bakery on our way home? I want to restock my bread supplies for tomorrow.
Himari : Fufu, Then, let's go to the bakery and then go home!

== Yamabuki bakery ==

Moca : Hmmm~, Plain bread or Melon bread, I don't know what to choose~.
Moca : What do you think, Hii-chan~?
Himari : Geez~, Moca, just choose the one that you like~.
Tsugumi : The shop is going to close soon. You need to hurry up, Moca-chan!
Moca : Hmm---... Then, I'm going to buy both then~. I'm going to pay it first, so wait for me~.
---
Moca : Sorry for making you wait~.
Tsugumi : Welcome back! Then, My home and Tomoe-chan's home is this way. See you tomorrow!
Moca : ...Ah, That's right. Has everyone done their homework for tomorrow?
Tomoe : Hm? The deadline isn't tomorrow, right?
Himari : It's not tomorrow, we can give it anytime as long it's within this week, right?
Moca : Eh, Is that so. Alright then.
Tomoe : ...?
Tsugumi : The homework this time is something that I'm not good at, so I want to finish it quickly so I don't need to think about it anymore. Moca-chan, thank you for reminding me.
Moca : Don't worry about it~.
Tsugumi : Then, see you tomorrow!
Tomoe : See ya~!
Moca : See you tomorrow~.
Himari : Moca, It's rare for you to mistake the deadline for homework, right?
Moca : Is that so?
Himari : Wait, Moca! Are you hiding something?
Moca : Nope. Moca-chan never hides anything since the day I was born~.
Himari : You always said something like that~! Are you worrying about something again? You could talk to me, you know?
Moca : Geez~, It's nothing~!
Himari : There's definitely something~! You're kinda weird, Moca~!
Himari : ...Ah! Sorry, but I'm worried about Moca...
Moca : Eh? What with you suddenly.
Himari : I feel like that you're doing something for everyone's sake, but you keep it quite from us...
Himari : Before this, I hurt Ran's feeling by saying that [She has changed]...
Moca : ...
Moca : But! I don't want you struggling all alone! If you do something for everyone's sake, then it's weird if you do it all alone!
Moca : Hii-chan, more than that, I think it's important if you think about our homework for this week...
Himari : Geez~~~!! You see! I don't want to leave my friend alone when they struggling all alone! That's why, until Moca talks about what happened, I won't go home~!!
Himari : I - I won't be able to finish my homework! But that's not important, Moca is more important to me~!
Moca : ...
Himari : Moca too, you also think that there's nothing more important than Afterglow in this whole world, right? Ah...L-leaving aside bread!
Moca : ...Pfft!
Moca : Ahahah---. Hii-chan, Thanks. Here, for you.
Himari : This is...the bread that you bought earlier?
Moca : Yes. Inside it, is the bread that I like the most~.
Himari : ...Moca. If you need any help then please tell me okay? I'm really worried about you.
Moca : Yes, Thank you. I'm really glad that I have a friend like you, Hii-chan~.
Himari : Geez, you dodge the question again. But, it seems that you have turn back to the usual Moca for a little bit.
Himari : Sorry for delaying you like this, Moca. See you tomorrow! I'm going to eat this bread for breakfast, okay.
Moca : Yes, Byebye, Hii-chan.
Moca : ... The usual me, huh...
Moca : (Hii-chan, I'm different from Ran, you know. Doing something for everyone's sake, I can't do something like that.)
Moca : (What I do is just for my own personal's sake. That's why, I can't ask for your help, Hii-chan.)
Moca : (That why I. I will do my best to act just like the usual me.)
Moca : ...
