One Day Off

Yomogi*Pant*... *Gasp*... Shizuku-san... I'm so, so sorry...!

ShizukuIf hiding behind me makes you feel safe, I don't mind.

ShizukuStill, we've been here for about ten minutes. Wouldn't it be better to head back?

YomogiNo... That would be a very serious problem... I have to buy it on release day...!

YomogiI absolutely have to get the "Onishigu Reissue Collab T-Shirt" today...!

ShizukuYou said not getting it would shorten your life by fifty years.

ShizukuIf it concerns your life, Yomogi, I want to help. But...

Yomogi*Pant*... *Pant*... *Pant*...

ShizukuBut if you run out of breath right here, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose?

YomogiYou have a point...!

YomogiBefore, I would've given up the moment I saw "in-store only"...

YomogiBut by some miracle, there's a store just one station away...! This is something I can only get my hands on because I left my hometown...!

YomogiSo I have to go... but...!!

ShizukuAll right. Yomogi, take some oxygen.

YomogiY-yes...!

YomogiHaaaaaa...

ShizukuYou seem a little calmer now. Yomogi, I have an idea.

YomogiAn idea?

ShizukuI could go buy it for you, but I don't know how to get to the store.

ShizukuYou know the way to the store, Yomogi but then can't breathe.

YomogiUgh... That's true...

ShizukuSo we'll work together. I'll help you use the oxygen spray as we go, and you'll tell me which way to go, Yomogi.

ShizukuThat way, we should be able to reach the store.

YomogiSh-Shizuku-saaaan...!

ShizukuLet's go, Yomogi. If we make up for what the other lacks, there's nothing we can't do.

YomogiThat means we're two halves of a whole...! That's so cool...!

YomogiThen let's go! At that corner, we turn left first—mmph!?

ShizukuOxygen spray in position at Yomogi's mouth.

ShizukuI'll press the button on the oxygen spray every few meters. This position may be uncomfortable, but we'll keep walking like this.

YomogiEep...!?

ShizukuForward, march! One, two, one, two, one, two...

YomogiSh-Shizuku-san...! Wait, you're walking way too fast...!?

ShizukuOxygen.

YomogiHaaaa...

ShizukuOne, two, one, two... Yomogi, what comes after the turn?

YomogiT-turn right at the third intersection—

ShizukuOxygen.

YomogiHaaaa...

Yomogi、ShizukuOne, two, one, two, one, two...

Yomogi*Pant*... *Gasp*...!

YomogiYomogi Yakura's miracle mission—complete~~~!!

ShizukuI'm glad you were able to buy it safely. Fifty years of Yomogi's life were spared as well.

YomogiIt's all thanks to you, Shizuku-san!! How could I ever thank you enough...!?

ShizukuI have something to thank you for, too. Thanks to you, Yomogi, I got to see unfamiliar streets.

YomogiThere really wasn't anything we couldn't do...!!

ShizukuYes. Together, we make a whole.
