Xue
On a Sunday during peak earnings time, to think I'd have free time...
Xue
(The Chinese restaurant's wife went into labour, the venue has enough staff. The patisserie looks slow too, and there's no game at the nearby stadium.)
Xue
Too much free time...zero yen per hour...
Xue
Maybe I should pick up a delivery job...
Xue
...Well, maybe it's a sign telling me to rest without working. Might as well make today a day off-
Xue
-I can't remember how to spend a day off.
Xue
Just spacing out is worse than zero yen per hour, it's a negative.
Xue
Isn't there something? A meaningful way to spend a day off...deliberately wasting time that could be converted to money.
Xue
Waste...spending money frivolously...purchases beyond my means...
Xue
...I see. This is exactly when I should use that flowering tea! If I'm going to waste time anyway, I'll indulge in luxury to the fullest!
Xue
It's boiled. Tea set ready, tea snacks ready. And of course, the flowering tea is prepared and ready.
Xue
Drinking tea while looking at the garden is so old fashioned. There's no greater waste of time than this, kukukuku...!
Xue
Let's begin! This is Wang Xue's day off~!
Ramona
That's right, it was a day off...
Xue
Uwaah!? Don't just appear suddenly!? I'm holding a kettle, it's dangerous!?
Ramona
Ah, well, I didn't mean to startle you. Feel free to relax...
Xue
Even if you tell me to relax, you...
Xue
Did you just wake up? Just because it's Sunday doesn't mean you should be so lazy.
Ramona
What do you...?
Xue
What do I mean? Those are pajamas, aren't they?
Ramona
...Ah, indeed.
Xue
...No, go change! Is this the time to be staring blankly at the garden?
Ramona
......
Xue
(This one's hopeless. It's like my words aren't reaching her at all...not listening to others is normal for her, but...)
Xue
Haah...what happened to your usual annoyingness...
Ramona
I was annoying...I'm sorry...
Xue
...Argh, this is uncomfortable! You're still brooding about your Germany days friends, aren't you!?
Xue
A broken plate won't come back together no matter how hard you try! If you have time to regret, just think about what's ahead!
Ramona
What's ahead, huh...
Xue
It would be a thousand times better if you were looking in a completely unrelated direction. Honestly, ruining my day off...
Ramona
......
Xue
(Hmph, it's none of my business. Ignore, ignore. I'm going to brew tea and have a meaningful day off.)
Xue
(The water's been reboiled. Now it's perfect. Oh, I forgot, I need to warm the teapot first)
Xue
Kukukuku...
Xue
(This extra step is important.)
Xue
(...Alright, the teapot is warm. Discard the water, and...)
Ramona
......
Xue
(Now, finally time for the main attraction.)
Xue
(It really does smell good, so enticing...!)
Xue
Hmm?
Ramona
......
Xue
...Hey, Germany. You were watching, weren't you?
Ramona
I wasn't watching anything.
Xue
Don't lie, you were definitely watching! I told you to look in some completely unrelated direction!
Ramona
...Ah, well. It was an unfamiliar ritual so I couldn't help being curious. You pour the water from quite a height to warm the teapot, don't you?
Xue
If you're interested in tea, you can't be that depressed...being stared at makes me uncomfortable.
Xue
Come over here. I'll show you.
Ramona
Is this bulb-like thing the tea leaf?
Ramona
...Oh, it opens up like a flower. How beautiful...
Xue
Of course it is, it's a luxury item. Those siblings of mine, sending something unnecessarily fancy.
Ramona
They sound like good siblings. You must be close...
Xue
We fight all the time too. Who ate whose side dish, who took whose toy, all that noisy squabbling.
Ramona
Don't you mediate?
Xue
No need for that. They forget all about it by the next day. That's just how people are, it's pointless to brood over it.
Ramona
...That's because they're family. With others, it's not so simple...
Xue
Family or strangers, they're all other people. Why worry about other people's problems?
Xue
Besides, haven't you learned your lesson yet? You really are...
Ramona
......
Xue
Look, from here on is my tea time. Shoo, shoo! Go apologise or whatever! And change your clothes!
Ramona
But suddenly visiting on a day off would be a nuisance...
Xue
Argh, you're still brooding...! This is my precious day off!? Don't ruin it!
Xue
I'm telling you to stop moping around!? Talking to you now is just exhausting...
Xue
Tea won't taste good next to someone so gloomy. You drink it!
Ramona
Even if you tell me to drink it...it's a gift from your siblings, isn't it?
Xue
They wrote that I should share it with friends!
Xue
...With friends.
Xue
B-Besides, luxury items like flowering tea don't suit someone of my station!
Ramona
No, in that case, there's no need to brew-
Xue
Shut up! You're Ramona Wolf, whose charm is being annoying! If you understand, then drink some tea and act like you usually do!
Ramona
I'm sorry, I'm indebted to you...
Xue
Stop apologising for everything. Just drink it already!
Xue
...
Xue
Hmph, it's good, isn't it? Lucky you. There are tea snacks too, eat them.
Ramona
Yes, I'm sorry-no.
Ramona
I appreciate your consideration, thank you, Xue.
Xue
...What a worthless day off, seriously.
