A Cartellino of Memories (Part 2)
A Bloom Time-Lapse Event Side Story
The Usual Scenes of Daily Life
Panda: Ah, the day is finally over…
Chisa: Phew… The bath with sakura petals was so nice. Oh, I have an idea.
Panda: Sassu, not now. I don’t have any energy left for this…
Chisa: You do look tired.
Panda: Haaaaaaaah~… To think I fell asleep in front of everyone. And you all saw the side of me I never intended to show…
Chisa: Just shows how much effort you’ve put into preparing for the party.
Panda: …Well, seems like everyone had a good time. No point in worrying about small things.
Chisa: You stayed up all night, editing that video.
Panda: Yeah, when working on videos, there’s always room for improvement. I’m satisfied with the result, but not happy with some of the decisions.
Chisa: Ow, the struggles of a true pro.
Panda: Panda’s a streamer, so you can call her a pro… But, well. Thanks to our collective brainstorming with Koko-chan, we somehow managed, so it’s all good.
Panda: Now then, what about you?
Chisa: I’m really curious about that bath full of gobies you dreamed of. You can probably patent that idea…
Panda: That’s not what I meant! I’m asking how it was with Kathrin and Oshizu-chan while we were editing!
Chisa: Ah, that. It was kinda fun.
Panda: Really now? And what were you doing?
Chisa: Hmm, at first we went to make a midnight snack…
Kathrina: Looks like Kokona and Panda will be staying up late, so I thought it would be nice if we cooked something for them.
Shizuka: Should be something you can quickly eat while working then. Or what you can eat on a short break, maybe?
Kathrina: Let’s see, we have bread, some vegetables… some ham, too. Well then…
Chisa: Somen noodles it is then.
Kathrina: Right, let’s make somen noodles… wait. That’s nonsense! How are you going to use bread for that?!
Chisa: Fufufu. Let me teach you my culinary secret. The truth is, toasts… are great with mentsuyu.
Kathrina: …You won’t fool me.
Chisa: If you don’t believe me, just try it. Well, I’ll boil the noodles then. And you’ll handle mentsuyu.
Kathrina: …are bonito flakes really sufficient for a broth?
Chisa: They’re perfect.
Shizuka: No, no, no! Nothing perfect about any of that! Kathrina, weren’t you going to make sandwiches?
Kathrina: No way! Sasuga managed to trick me into wanting to cook somen noodles?!
Shizuka: Sasuga, you too, take water off the stove!
Chisa: Please, don’t try to stop me. There are times when you just have to act.
Kathrina: I’ll stop you!
Shizuka: …If things go on like this, we’ll only cause more trouble for Kokona and Panda.
Chisa: …so, it got kind of messy. In the end, I couldn’t cook somen noodles.
Panda: Since you mentioned making a snack, but we never got to have it, I was wondering what happened… Don’t cause trouble for the girls like that.
Panda: …I hope the rest of the night was rather uneventful?
Chisa: Well, after that we decided to go to bed, since we’d have to get up early…
Shizuka: Well then, I’m turning off the lights.
Kathrina: Good night, girls.
Chisa: Night-night.
Shizuka: Good night.
Shizuka and Kathrina: …
Kathrina: Shizuka, did you forget to close the window?
Shizuka: That’s weird. I’m pretty sure I closed it tight… Yeah, it’s closed alright.
Kathrina: Huh, that weird noise is getting louder?
Shizuka: Hold up, it doesn’t really seem like the sound of the wind.
Kathrina: …H-huh? What is it then?
Shizuka: It can’t be…
Kathrina: W-what can’t…
Shizuka: There’s a rumor about a ghost of a girl who messed up her bangs. She was so embarrassed that she’s been practicing cutting the wigs every night ever since…
Kathrina: H-hey, stop that. How long do you think we’ve been living in this room?
Kathrina: Besides, how do you even cut something with such a mouth-watering sound… Wait! This really is weird!
Shizuka: Just what on earth… Wait, could it be… Sasuga?
Chisa: What’s up?
Kathrina: Your phone… That sound’s coming from there!
Chisa: Huh? Ah, it’s nice, isn’t it? That’s an ASMR recording. I’ve been listening to them lately. Thought it might help me sleep better, since they are said to have a calming effect.
Kathrina: There’s nothing calming about it!
Panda: You were really being a nuisance, you know?!
Chisa: …Oh, sorry… That’s because I’m used to sleeping in the same room with you.
Panda: Huh? Care to explain?
Chisa: I just wanted to do the usual thing…
Panda: …Oh well~
Panda: Didn’t know you had such a sensitive mentality.
Panda: Just why should it be ASMR recordings, though?
Chisa: …Panda, did it bother you too?
Panda: Well…
Panda: …gosh~
Panda: (Getting used to it is frightening.)
Chisa: So it really did, right?..
Panda: Don’t mind it, let’s go to sleep, Sassu…
Chisa: P-pandaa…
Panda: Come on, good night.
Panda: (…huh, it’s unusual to see Sassu worry about such things. Guess, I’ll just keep silence for the time being.)
