The Closeness Between Childhood Friends (1)
(Ahh, the weather’s so nice today. I should clean my shoes a bit, since I have the day off.)
(…Hm? There’s a little package by the door. It looks familiar… Oh!)
Okay…
You have a beautiful flipping technique. I’m sure the egg is overjoyed to be turned into such a delicious tamagoyaki at your hands.
The side dishes look fantastic too. I knew it was a good idea to put you in charge of the sesame spinach.
Oh, stop it, it’s not that good. Besides, you made most of the dishes anyway.
An athlete’s greatest asset is their body, after all… It’s my responsibility to watch what I eat, so I can keep mine fit. I can’t cut corners, no matter what.
Alright, here’s your bento,
Oh, thanks!
I’ll treasure the bento you made for me forever.
Uh, I think you should just eat it instead…
Of course. I’ll make sure to thoroughly savor every bite of it.
(He must’ve forgotten to take it with him…)
(I’m free today, so… I guess it’s time to head to the ice rink!)
(Ah, there he is! His skating always looks so effortless…)
(He taught me how to skate a bit when we were younger, but I honestly like to just watch him.)
(A triple lutz into a triple loop…)
(Immediately followed by a double loop…! Wow, he was so stable on all of them!)
I thought I was hallucinating you, since I wanted to see you so bad. What are you doing here?
Hi, Yuki-nii. You forgot this.
*gasp…* I’m sorry about that. Especially after we spent all that time making it together.
Thanks for bringing it here.
No problem. I wanted to watch you practice anyway, since it’s been a while.
I see. Knowing that you’re cheering me on makes me want to work even harder.
You’re the last person I’d expect to forget your lunch at home though… Is it because you’re tired from practicing for your ice show coming up?
It’s incredible that you were able to notice such a small change. Yeah, I probably have been a bit too focused on practice lately.
Well, make sure to take care of yourself.
Right, of course.
Oh, since you’re here, would you like to skate with me for a bit?
Huh? But…
It’ll be a nice break for me. Plus, it’s been a while.
You taught me a really long time ago, so I’m not sure if I remember how…
Really? I’m sure you could do it.
(It’s been years, but…if Yuki-nii says so…)
Okay, I’ll give it a try…!
Good to hear.
