Translation Note: The story title is the typical phrase a servant would say, but in Japanese, it's phrased how Chiaki would say it. Instead of go-houshi shimasu (polite, formal way to say it), it's go-houshi suru zo (how Chiaki typically speaks, which is informal and masculine).

Season: Summer

Location: Studio

(Mm~… It’s almost time to start working, but Himemiya still hasn’t shown up. Could something have happened to him?)

(…Oh yeah, I recall this happening once before, when we were working together as part of Rain-bows.)1

(If I remember correctly, that was due to a lack of proper communication between everyone…? Hm, let me check with the staff members, just in case.)

Please excuse me~! I’m so sorry for being late!

Oh! You’re finally here! We were waiting for you! You’re the type to come right on time, so I was worried something might have happened to you, Himemiya.

Mm~… Well, something did kinda happen. Actually, it’s happening right now.

The truth is, Yuzuru won’t be around for a while because he’s busy with work, so I have to do all my daily necessities all on my own until he’s back.

I only just moved to the Starmony Dorm, and I always left everything for Yuzuru to handle, so I don’t really know how you’re meant to do things.

My servants would do all the work for me if I were to go back home, but… I won’t be able to grow if I keep going back home whenever Yuzuru isn’t around.

It’s just — I don’t know how you’re supposed to do anything! When I tried ironing my clothes, I somehow ended up making more creases! How’s that even possible?

Uu… There’s still three days left… What am I gonna do

Hm. I completely understand!

Then how about I take care of everything for you in Fushimi’s stead…☆

Morisawa-senpai taking care of everything…? Do you have experience as a servant or something?

Fuhaha! Not one bit, actually!

But as an ally of justice, I can’t just neglect someone in a pinch!

Whaaat. Gosh, you said it so proudly that you got me hopeful~…

Worry not! You can leave eeeverything to me! ☆

Where do you even get that confidence from… Mm~ What should I do… I can’t tell if I can rely on you, but I also really can’t do it on my own…

…Alright, sure. Then I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?

Location: Tori and Yuzuru’s Dorm Room

Next morning…

Are you awake, Himemiya? I’m coming in! ☆

What a wonderful morning! This is going to be such a great day!

zz… zz…

Mm… (mumbles)… I can’t eat anymore, Eichi-samaa~…♪

Ah—! He’s supposed to be awake by now, but he’s still asleep.

It hurts to do this a little, but if that’s how it’s going to be… Take this! My ultimate movee—!

GOOOOOD MOOOORNIIIIING!! ☆

GYAAAAAH!?

Mhm, it worked like a charm! Good morning, Himemiya! ☆

Uu, I was having such a good dream… Let me sleep more~…

Don’t bury yourself in the blanket! Come on out, Himemiya! Let’s move our bodies to wake ourselves up!

It’s time for “The Unrivaled ☆ Meteorangers!”!!2 Follow after me!

Four and a half minutes later…

…~♪

Incredible, Himemiya! You’re able to dance along so well just by watching me!

Huff, huff… I can’t believe he made me dance a whole song…

I’m sure that got you wide awake, didn’t it? I feel exhilarated, too! ☆

You’re so energetic, this early in the morning…

Yup, I don’t feel like falling back to sleep at all.

I should say my thanks, at least. Thank you for waking me up, Morisawa-senpai.

Um, I’ll go wash my face and change my clothes, so could you leave the room, please? I don’t feel comfortable doing it with someone watching.

Alright! I’ll go prepare breakfast, then!

Location: Starmony Dorm Kitchen

(White rice, miso soup, grilled fish…♪) (Humming)

(Alright, everything’s going well so far! It’s all thanks to the beginner-friendly time-saving recipe book I found yesterday! ☆)

(All that’s left is the rolled omelette. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan—…)

(Then roll the egg once it solidifies… I’m being really careful not to ruin its shape…)

(But the trick is to cook it in a short amount of time, so I shouldn’t do it too slowly.)

…Huh, you’re making Japanese food? Do you like these sorts of meals, Morisawa-senpai?

There you are, Himemiya. I cooked these meals for your sake, rather than for my taste.

Since I assume Fushimi always makes sure your meals have all the nutrients you need, right?

Uu~… Yeah, he does, but… I prefer to eat something normal whenever Yuzuru isn’t around.

Heh-heh-heh… These aren’t the only things on the menu, y’know? Open the microwave oven~

Microwave oven?

…Ah! French fries~! ♪

It’s hard to tell different types of potatoes from one another, but since these ones were from Takamine Greengrocer, they’re guaranteed to be excellent-quality vegetables.

And vegetables are extremely high in nutritional value! Eat as much as you like!

Yaaay! ♪ Yuzuru would probably make a disapproving look if he hears about this, but I don’t caaare~!

I’m really glad it made you happy. It was well worth the preparation…♪

Oh yeah, speaking of which — Have you finished preparing for school?

Mhm. Thanks to you waking me up, I was able to get everything ready without rushing.

Ohh, that’s good to know! Make sure to take this with you, as well.

Mm? You made me a lunchbox? I was planning to eat at the cafeteria, though.

I wonder what’s inside… Woahh~!

I know this! This is chara-ben, right?3

Yeah, it is. While thinking of what sort of lunchbox to make you, a past memory came back to me.

When I was young, my parents would make me a lunchbox like this sometimes. It really made me happy, so I tried making one for you, as well.

I botched up the technique, so the egg garnish is a little burnt, and the character is misshapen — but that’s part of its charm…! ☆

………

…I’m not a kid anymore, though.

But thank you for doing all of this for my sake, Morisawa-senpai.

Fuhaha! You’re welcome. Eat to your heart’s content, and grow big and strong!

Alright, it’s time to eat. They say that “the day only begins once you eat your breakfast”…☆
