previous part: (chapter 1)

next part: (chapter 3)

(tw for dieting)

The next day—

Sena: (Alright! Let my diet begin!)

Sena: Sorry, Mom. I want a smaller serving of dinner today.

Ayako: Really? You don’t want a hamburg steak?

Sena: Yeah, I’m…

Mona: Wow, it’s so good! Today’s hamburg steaks are awesome! Thanks, Mom!

Sena: (Ugh… The way Mona’s eating makes it look so good.)

Sena: (But wait, no! I’ve decided to slim down!)

Mona: Are you sure you don’t want any, Big Sis? Can I have your share, then?

Sena: Yeah, go ahead, but…

Ayako: Are you feeling unwell, Sena? Or is this because of your job?

Sena: I’m fine. It’s for work. I’m going to be modelling in a swimsuit at the beach soon, you see.

Sena: So I figured that I had to slim down a little for it.

Mona: Eh?! You too, Big Sis?

Sena: Eh? You too, Mona?

Mona: I’m gonna be filmed for a TV show, but I think I’ll be at the seaside around the same time as your shoot.

Mona: Lemme see—... Take a look at the map on my phone. I’ll be at this beach over here.

Sena: Ah, I think I’ll be at the same beach as you! And the date’s…

Sena: (Wait, isn’t this the same date as my shoot? So occurrences like this do happen after all!)

Sena: Hey, Mona, let’s play at the beach after we’re both done with work!

Sena: Since we’ll be at the beach, we might as well do something summery.

Mona: Ehh, isn’t it childish to frolic about by the seaside?

Mona: Besides, we don’t know if we’ll even have free time after our jobs, y’know?

Sena: It’s fine, I’ll ask my manager for permission, okay?

Mona: Well… You have a point. I’ll ask my manager too.

Ayako: Oh Mona, you’re actually happy about it, aren’t you?

Mona: Th-that…!

Mona: …may be true.

Ayako: Hehe, it sure has been some time since you girls last hung out together, right? You two are always so busy these days.

Sena: Yeah, guess so! I’m looking forward to it even more now.

Sena: (If Mona’s going to see me in my swimsuit… it’s all the more reason for me to keep up my diet!)

Sena: (I want to be her ideal big sister, after all.)

Ayako: …Oh my? You’ve stopped eating, Mona… 

Mona: Y-yeah…

Mona: For some reason, I’ve just became conscious about how I ate the hamburg steaks without a care in the world.

Mona: And I even ate Big Sis’s share too.

Sena: Oh no, now even Mona’s conscious of her diet.

Ayako: Geez, I wonder if I should stop cooking for a while… Just kidding.

Mona: Eh, I don’t want you to!

Mona: I’m gonna eat after all! I’ll eat and exercise, and I’ll maintain my figure through it all!

After that—

Staff: Narumi! This is a gift from the staff. Please help yourself to some, if you’d like!

Sena: Thank you very much. I’m on a restricted diet at the moment, but I appreciate your sentiments.

Sena continued to abide by her restricted diet.

Cameraman: That was good, Sena! Please give us another smile!

Sena: Sure thing!

Sena: …!

Sena: (...Ah, my head felt woozy for a moment.)

Sena: (Was it… because of my diet…?)
