Taiwan, hi!
Did you expect someone to send you chocolates by mail?

hi Makoto!
no...
why are you asking? lol

[ Does she look like a girl who'd randomly get chocolates!? (Yes.) ]

We got a bag of them in the mail!
...but without a note as to for whom or from who.

what? that's weird!
maybe someone has a secret admirer
are you sure you didn't make someone blush lately? ^^

Huh?

[oh, he gets it; and he's embarrassed. the next comes a few minutes later.]

I don't... think so!
I've put them in the kitchen - in case you would like some too.

wah that's so nice of you
3q!
but now I'm really curious...
"ki ni narimasu!"
Japan was into a character who said that a lot
do you have a hunch?

...I
Maybe?
I bought someone ice cream, now that I remember.

[taiwan you are great at being helpful]

[please...]

ohhhhh
^^

[wow what does that mean]

who?

[THAT SHE REALLY IS HELPFUL]

To Sakura-chan, but she didn't know about it until later today...
It ... must be Dai-chan then,

[ wow sakura got free ice cream, makoto must be really popular with the girls

she's so proud of her son ]

Dai-chan?
who's Dai-chan
a girl? a boy?

[thank you mum]

Daiki sorry
A boy, he lives with Sakura-chan.
Why wouldn't he leave a note? Or say anything?

I think I know but
that's something you have to find out for yourself♫

[ YEAH SHE IS THE MOST HELPFUL ]

??
What is it?

I don't want to tell you
sometimes you have to let these things happen naturally!!

[???]

Thank..s I think

[ he'd saved up and bought a gaming console not too long ago; having little to no games to go with it, makoto was nice enough to lend him a few when he was over their house a few days earlier. … it was pretty easy to guess where most of his weekend went. at any rate, on an errand to pick up dinner for his family, makoto's house was in the area so he'd brought the finished games with him to drop off on the way back.

it wasn't anything important, so he didn't need to call in advance or anything right? what could go wrong.

— knock knock! ]

[ Taiwan is polishing the floor while dancing to The Boys at the same time when someone knocks on the door. Gosh, can't anyone in this town wait until she gets to the chorus? It's fine, she isn't mad. She opens the door while humming the rest of the tune until... ]

Oh, hello!

[ Hello, stranger. What brings you here? ]

[ what incredible patience… ]

[ the humming itself is enough of a telltale sign of what was about to unfold (he couldn't hear it clearly, but simply being able to hear it was enough) — so the moment the door opens, an arm shoots our right away, revealing two bags.

… one contains the games, and the other a small variety of snacks as thanks. ]

I'm dropping this off for Tachibana.

[ not even a greeting back. . . no eye contact, either. ]

[ What a rude boy! ]

Ah... Um...

[ She didn't expect this and she doesn't know what Makoto is up to, so she doesn't know what to think. ]

Is he bullying you?

[ he has to do a double-take when he hears what she says, just to be sure, then almost twitches, because how even. ]

No. [ just… no!? how helpful. . . ]

[ Ah... She thought it was infatuation, but it could have been a case of bullying after all... How sad! ]

You're... Daiki, right? I don't know Makoto very well, but he didn't seem like the person who would do this...

[ genuinely concerned ]

I'll tell him not to make you do these things anymore, okay?

[ … daiki… ]

It's Mamura. [ to you ]

[ aaand give him a moment to collect himself, before he sighs and turns to look her in the eye this time. why do girls always seem to jump to conclusions so easily…! ]

. . . That's because he isn't that kind of person. [ said with a bit of an edge ] I'm returning something he lent to me.

Oh, that makes more sense! I'll tell him you came over. [ She'll be taking the bags now, if that's alright. ] You're so nice! But you know...

[ "You don't have to return every small favor right away." It isn't her place to say that, though. ]

[ … it's hard to hand things over without touching the other person; it might just be brief contact, but the moment she takes the bags from him his hand retracts instantly.

ah, shit. red red red go away ]

That isn't necessary. [ what isn't? ]
