Chapter 1 Wanna Hang Out Tomorrow?

Kokona : My plans for tomorrow?

Chisa : Yeah, if you don’t have any, wanna hang out tomorrow?

Panda : The Panda at Ueno Zoological Park is having its birthday tomorrow.

Panda : So I wonder if we can go together.

Kokona : Eh? Sounds fun, count me in!

Chisa : Hehehe. Then it’s settled.

Panda : I know Koko-chan would say that!

Panda : But are you sure you’re not having anything in mind? I mean it’s too sudden.

Kokona : No problem. I don’t have any plans tomorrow, If anything I was wondering what to do.

Panda : By the way, Koko-chan what do you usually do in your day off?

Kokona : Hmm, Reading Sirius’ old scripts, watching other theater troupe’s performances—

Kokona : acting practice with Shizuka, or joining improv troupes’ practice with Katrina-chan.

Panda and Chisa : …

Panda and Chisa : (Incredibly serious.)

Panda : Sounds like what Koko-chan would do, We might need to learn a thing or two from you though.

Chisa : Kinda.. not youngster-ish?

Kokona : What do you mean by that!?

Panda : You see, It doesn’t sound like what female high school students nowadays would do.

Kokona : But I work at Kisate-

Kokona : I mean I’m doing part-time at Café.

Panda : Ahh.. Now that you say it, that’s right.

Kokona : Well? Am I youngster-ish?

Chisa : You’re right.. It’s kinda youngster-ish.

Panda : Even so, Koko-chan has a lot of stamina, doesn’t she?

Panda : She goes to school, then Sirius’ training, and still has a part-time job.

Chisa : Don’t tell me you also have club activity?

Kokona : Ahahah..

Kokona : I don’t have time for that.

Kokona : Because we don’t have much money, I did some newspaper delivery.

Kokona : Maybe it helps me build some stamina.

Chisa : Eh.. Newspaper delivery is quite tough, isn’t it?

Panda : Seems like you need to wake up early in the morning and do some manual labor, that’s what I heard.

Kokona : It wasn’t really early in the morning. Because it was a rural area near the sea, the newspaper was usually late.

Panda : Ahh.. Now that you say it, Koko-chan you moved when you were still a elementary grade, weren’t you?

Kokona : Yeah.. Because of my parents’ circumstances.

Kokona : It was very far from Asakusa, At first it was hard because I couldn’t make any friends.

Panda : Oh my.. sounds tough.

Kokona : But, because of that I built some stamina and I don’t easily get discouraged anymore.

Kokona : If I were to say, when I’m talking with girls my age, there are times when I can’t keep up with the conversation.

Yae : Everyone, good work today.

Kokona : Ah.. It’s Yae-chan!
