Chapter 3: Memories and Soup

Mr. Tsukishima, it's great meeting you here. I was on my way to your house.

You were going to visit him too, Chad?

Yeah. I wanted to express my appreciation.

Mr. Tsukishima. I found your bear, remember?

Huh...?

Back when I was feeling really depressed...

...you dressed up in this and let me snuggle with you.

Thank you. It meant so much to me!

D-Did it, now? You didn't have to come out just to say that. I'll do anything for you, Chad.

Actually, I wanted to come over because I had a favor to ask of you.

Mr. Tsukishima... Will you wear this for me one more time and let me snuggle with you again?

Uh...

Oh, I know! Why don't we all snuggle up at Mr. Tsukishima's, and then eat the parfait together?

I can make another portion for you too, Chad!

Well... I really do appreciate the sentiment. From both of you. But I'm in a bit of a rush, so I'll see you guys another day, okay?

I have to be more careful with the memories I implant.

*Sigh*... That was tiring. I need to get back to finishing my soup.

Welcome back, sir!

Thanks. Sorry it took a little longer than expected. Is everything okay?

Yessir!

Tell me, Moeh... The contents of this pot look completely burnt. Care to explain why?

Are you sure you were watching it the whole time?

Yessir, I watched the soup just like you said!

I didn't even blink! My eyes were so dry I thought my eyeballs were going to shrivel up.

............

Uh, Mr. Tsukishima? Is something wrong? If you're tired, I'll do anything to help. Just say the word!

From now on, just don't do anything.
