Nyamu

Uiko~!

Uika

What is it, Nyamu-chan?

Nyamu

So, how's living with Sakiko going? You two doing okay?

Uika

Huh?

Nyamu

Living. Together.

Uika

Huh? Did I ever tell you about that?

Nyamu

I mean, it's obvious if you listen to you two. You're always talking about stuff like, "What should we do for dinner~?"

Uika

Oh! Do you think the staff might have noticed too?

Uika

I thought we only talked about that kind of thing when it was just us members.

Nyamu

Oh, you're probably fine there. I can tell you're both careful about it.

Uika

I see. We are trying to be careful, but I'll make sure we're even more careful.

Nyamu

Yeah. Wait, no, that's not what I mean.

Uika

Huh? Then what do you mean?

Nyamu

I mean, how's it actually going? Are you two doing okay living together?

Uika

Let's see... I feel like we're doing pretty well.

Uika

I'm used to living on my own, and Saki-chan is used to handling chores too.

Nyamu

Huh. I see.

Uika

Oh, but it's not like everything goes perfectly, okay?

Uika

There are plenty of little things to figure out, like who's on dinner duty or which fabric softener to use.

Uika

But whenever even the smallest issue comes up, we talk it through properly and decide together.

Nyamu

Huh...

Uika

I like getting to share different parts of our lives like that, and learning new things about each other.

Uika

Saki-chan is really considerate, but I don't want to just keep relying on her.

Uika

I think living together means you build something together over time.

Nyamu

I see...

Uika

Oh, sorry! I ended up talking all by myself there...

Nyamu

Well, anyway, I get it. Things are going well.

Uika

Yeah. I really like the life we have right now.

Uika

Huh? Wait, what made you ask about that all of a sudden?

Nyamu

Well, it's not like I had any big reason or anything... You're kind of the type to keep things to yourself, right, Uiko?

Uika

Ahaha... I guess I am.

Nyamu

And Sakiko seems pretty strict about the little things, you know? I thought maybe she was nitpicking you over every tiny detail~

Uika

That's not true. Saki-chan is kind.

Nyamu

I got that loud and clear after hearing you go on about her just now... Anyway. I was just the tiniest bit worried, that's all.

Uika

Nyamu-chan...

Uika

Thank you.

Nyamu

It's no big deal.

Nyamu

Oh, I don't mind listening to you vent once in a while. My consultation fee's pretty steep, though~♪

Uika

Okay. I'll take you up on that next time I need to vent. Hehe.
