Glorious Days [CPN] - Elementary: After School 17

「Hm...」

Chiharu rests her chin on Kotori's head and begin to think.

「I think he will, but not now.」

「Why not?」

「Because our Okaa-san is in the hospital. She's ill and Keita is working hard to procure money for her, even though we have insurance.

「In...sur...ance?」

「It will be something you will understand when you're older.」

「Okay.」

The two girls were finished with their bath and just got out.

「Keita! It's your turn!」

Chiharu calls out to Keita, but there was no reply.

「Keita??? Hmm... Kotori, can you check his room if he's there?」

「Roger~!」

Chiharu points out his room and Kotori happily runs along.

She knocks on his door and peeks inside.

「Kei-chan! It's your turn to take a bath. ...Kei-chan?」

Inside, Keita was laying in his bed without moving a muscle.

When Kotori got closer, she can hear the breathing of a sleeping person. She steps up and is looking down on him.

「Kei-chan...」

*Tsun tsun* (poke poke)

Kotori pokes Keita's cheek, but that only makes him stir.

She leaves and informs her future sister-in-law.

「Chiharu-neechan, Kei-chan's asleep.」

「Ah, really? Well, it's to be expected.」
