NyamuUiko~!

UikaWhat is it, Nyamu-chan?

NyamuSo, how's living with Sakiko going? You two doing okay?

UikaHuh?

NyamuLiving. Together.

UikaHuh? Did I ever tell you about that?

NyamuI mean, it's obvious if you listen to you two. You're always talking about stuff like, "What should we do for dinner~?"

UikaOh! Do you think the staff might have noticed too?

UikaI thought we only talked about that kind of thing when it was just us members.

NyamuOh, you're probably fine there. I can tell you're both careful about it.

UikaI see. We are trying to be careful, but I'll make sure we're even more careful.

NyamuYeah. Wait, no, that's not what I mean.

UikaHuh? Then what do you mean?

NyamuI mean, how's it actually going? Are you two doing okay living together?

UikaLet's see... I feel like we're doing pretty well.

UikaI'm used to living on my own, and Saki-chan is used to handling chores too.

NyamuHuh. I see.

UikaOh, but it's not like everything goes perfectly, okay?

UikaThere are plenty of little things to figure out, like who's on dinner duty or which fabric softener to use.

UikaBut whenever even the smallest issue comes up, we talk it through properly and decide together.

NyamuHuh...

UikaI like getting to share different parts of our lives like that, and learning new things about each other.

UikaSaki-chan is really considerate, but I don't want to just keep relying on her.

UikaI think living together means you build something together over time.

NyamuI see...

UikaOh, sorry! I ended up talking all by myself there...

NyamuWell, anyway, I get it. Things are going well.

UikaYeah. I really like the life we have right now.

UikaHuh? Wait, what made you ask about that all of a sudden?

NyamuWell, it's not like I had any big reason or anything... You're kind of the type to keep things to yourself, right, Uiko?

UikaAhaha... I guess I am.

NyamuAnd Sakiko seems pretty strict about the little things, you know? I thought maybe she was nitpicking you over every tiny detail~

UikaThat's not true. Saki-chan is kind.

NyamuI got that loud and clear after hearing you go on about her just now... Anyway. I was just the tiniest bit worried, that's all.

UikaNyamu-chan...

UikaThank you.

NyamuIt's no big deal.

NyamuOh, I don't mind listening to you vent once in a while. My consultation fee's pretty steep, though~♪

UikaOkay. I'll take you up on that next time I need to vent. Hehe.
