Slow Start ch155

p1

Ah.

Welcome back, Hana-chan.
You too, Tama-chan.
I'm home, Shion-chan.
I'm Home-san~

H-Hello there.
Ah, you're the student council vice president, right?
You're very much welcome here.

Cute.
Cute.

It's the long-awaited Christmas party!

p2

Hey, Hana-chan.
I found these while bringing out the tree.
Wanna try them on?

Wawah!
Pajamas...?
Oooh!
This is really Christmassy.

You can wear this if you want too, Tsuzuri-chan.
It's of a somewhat different taste to what those two are wearing, though.
It was originally meant for Hannen-san to wear.
?

Oh, is it a sexy Santa?
Hyeh!?

Cute!
That's Shion-chan for you~
Yeah, it's adorable.
...It's really adorably, but still.

p3

None the less, outfits like these really put you in the mood.
Ufufufu.

I've got food too~
Here's some fried chicken!
Here you go~
Waah!

Alright! Let's get the room decorated while we're in the mood!

Check.
Check.
Check.

Haven't forgotten anything!
I've got the souvenirs, present, and everything!!
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Ehehehe~

Give them my regards too.
Will do~

Well then, I leave this tree in your care.
Please think of it as me and take good care of it.
Fufu.
Yes, I shall humbly borrow it.

Okay, I'm...
I'm home~

p4

Wawah, Dad?
Eeh?
You're home rather early.
What gives?

Ah, is it because it's Christmas Eve?
Hahahaha. Does my company look like it would do something that nice?
Should you really be saying that with a smile?

There's something I want to tell you two.
What is it?
Well, y'see,
I'll be transferring at the start of the new year.

Eh?

Come again?
Like I said, it's a transfer.
Start of the year.

Eh? But,
you said there wouldn't be any more transfers until Kasane graduates...
Yeah.
At least, that was the plan.

p5

My colleague was approached about a transfer,
but it seems his son's taking middle school entrance exams at the start of the year.
It's one of those exams.
He's apparently been studying for it at cram school this whole time.

I felt really sorry for him, so I figured I'd take his place.
We're used to transferring so it's okay, right?
...You can't just decide that on your own...!

...Yeah, that's right.
Kasane.

We're used to it.
I'm okay.
...I'm used to it.
It's okay...

p6

But y'know,
I've never once thought
that I
was okay with that.

Eh?
Kasane?

...
I'm heading off!

...?
Hah~

... You're despicable.
Eh?

p7

...I'm okay.

I'm
fine,
so...

...

...Ng
Uuh
hic
hic

p8

Ah.
Yay~ It's Kasane-chan!
Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Eh?

Ah.

Hey, sorry to keep you waiting~
Merry Christmas Eve!!!
Look at this! It's an assortment of salads from a specialist store that Sensei got from a campaign!
Yep. It's luxurious.

Eh?

Dad didn't notice her daughter's pain. How will everyone react...!?
