Ah~...it's hot...too hot...

Panda
I was planning to take some summer like photos and get a viral hit or two, but just stepping out of the dorm makes me sweat, this is no good...

Panda
Haah, on a day like today, I should be doing summer homework under the air conditioner...

Panda
No, I don't want to~...that thing doesn't feel like it's progressing at all...

Yae
Ah, Panda-san! Good afternoon.

Yae
I'm sorry, were you resting?

Panda
Oh, Niizumachii. What's up? If you're looking for Hiiragi-san, she just went out.

Yae
Is that so...but I have different business today. I was having Shamo-san check my calligraphy homework until just now.

Yae
Now that it's finished, I was thinking of working on today's portion of my workbook, but was I disturbing you?

Panda
Ah, so that's what it was. I was just lounging around, so I should be the one to leave if I'm in your way!

Yae
Not at all, it's fine!

Yae
Panda-san, how is your summer homework coming along?

Panda
Ouch...you're touching a sore spot, Niizumachii...

Yae
Ehh!?

Panda
No, your timing is perfect. I wanted to do my portion for today too, so I'll go get it now.

Yae
...Let's see, for the volume of a rectangular prism, it's length times width times height...the height is here...

Panda
Solve using the addition and subtraction method...? Um, I should subtract this equation from this one...

Panda
...

Yae
...

Panda
(Amazing...it's so quiet...it's impossible for two people to be this quiet in Sirius Baths...)

Panda
(Well, maybe it could happen if it were just Oshizu-chan and Panda? But that situation hardly ever occurs...)

Yae
Panda-san.

Panda
Huh, yes!?

Panda
(Oh no, did she notice me looking at her!?)

Yae
Ah, I'm sorry for interrupting your concentration. I was just wondering if Sasuga-san was out...

Panda
Ah. Sassu went out early in the morning. Apparently, early summer mornings are the "golden time for fishing" or something.

Panda
Even though Kokochi and the others have summer classes and are at school from the morning, that guy's just fishing, she's really at her own pace.

Panda
And yet her homework progress is about the same as mine, what's with her time management...

Yae
Fufu, that's so like Sasuga-san. She seems to be having fun every day, so she probably has no trouble with diary entries.

Yae
Ah, that's right. I haven't written yesterday's diary entry yet.

Yae
Let's see, yesterday was rehearsal at Sirius and...

Panda
glance

Panda
(Niizumachii's diary, yesterday was rehearsal and an interview, and before that, homework, rehearsal, self-practice...there's nothing but homework and theatre stuff...this is too un-elementary school like for a summer vacation...)

Yae
? Panda-san, is something wrong?

Panda
Ah, no!

Panda
Sorry, I was just nostalgic about summer vacation diaries...haha...

Chisa
I'm home~.

Panda
Oh, welcome back.

Yae
Welcome back! You went fishing, right? How was it?

Chisa
I caught plenty.

Chisa
Since we're at it, I might fillet them and make lunch. Want to eat too, Niizuma?

Yae
Wow, is that okay?

Panda
Hey, Sassu. I'm glad you caught fish, but don't you need to do your homework~?

Chisa
Ah. I should do that. I was thinking of starting my independent research project soon.

Panda
Ugh, independent research...I hadn't thought about it at all...

Panda
What about you, Niizumachii? Have you decided what to do?

Chisa
By the way, what kind of independent research does Niizuma do? Like the average number of noodles per bundle of somen?

Panda
No one would do such a futile investigation...

Yae
No, last year I researched and summarised classical theatre. My teacher also praised me, saying it was well organised.

Panda and Chisa
Terrifyingly serious...

Chisa
What about this year? If last year was classical theatre, is this year future theatre?

Yae
No! Actually, I haven't decided yet...

Chisa
Is that so? Then, since we have the chance, you should do something fun.

Yae
Something fun...?
