✿ Chapter 011. [Audio] (Day 142)

[burntviolet]

Good morning, Asgard. To the new entries of this period, my name is Hanako Ikezawa and I'm from Sigyn.

[ Hanako doesn't sound too cheerful, but she feels way better than the wreck she used to be a few days ago. Even so, it's still gratingly different than her previous post in which she even used the video feature, a rare occurence, courtesy of her great mood.

There's the light patting noise of rain hitting the window of her room. ]

After the happenings of over a week ago, I was thinking of replanting some trees and flowers in Gefion park. I could do it by myself with my powers, but if you'd like to contribute, please don't hesitate coming over. I'll be there tomorrow for the whole afternoon.

[ Pausing for a moment. ] To Euri-san, and everyone else who was interested... As for the Nightlight club's first meeting... I was thinking to set it the day after tomorrow, in the Tea Room at the Library, 3 PM at the earliest. I'm sorry for the stunning delay, but the recent happenings heavily influenced it. I hope the meeting will be culturally fruitful.

Thank you for your time.

[ After that... last piece of booksmart wording, she shuts the feed off. ]

Comments

[burntviolet]

That's right. I'm going to look forward for tomorrow, surely...

[ That would lift her spirits a little. ]

[saving_sound]

Do you think afterwards we could maybe go out for food or something? Sort of like a small celebration for replanting everything!

[burntviolet]

I surely agree with doing that. A dinner together with Hisao and others would crown the day surely.

[ As a way to go back to normal, little by little. ]

[saving_sound]

Then it's settled! Do you know of any good places we could go?

[burntviolet]

Ah, there are so many food places to choose from. I have no idea.

[saving_sound]

Hmm...

Oh! There was that family restaurant where I worked for a while... If you don't have a favorite place, would you like to go there?

[burntviolet]

Hm... where is it?

[saving_sound]

It was in Thor district!

[burntviolet]

Oh, good... It's only two districts away.

[saving_sound]

Yes! And if I call them early, I can let them know everybody's coming and they'll make sure there's room for us.

[burntviolet]

That is a well thought idea, especially if it's a particularly popular restaurant.

[saving_sound]

It always got enough customers... I hope everybody will like it there!

[burntviolet]

I sure will, if it's recommended by you.

[ It's sure relieving when you can go back to have casual talking... ]

[saving_sound]

[She's just glad Hanako seems to be feeling a little better!]

Just let me know how many people are going to come, and I'll be sure to tell everybody at the restaurant!

[burntviolet]

Unfortunately, I can't tell how many will come until I see them tomorrow...

[saving_sound]

Oh, that should be fine! Just an estimate once everybody comes will be okay. I just want to make sure the workers at the restaurant will have enough time to get ready!

[burntviolet]

I wouldn't want to overwhelm them if it turns out they're more than expected.

[saving_sound]

Oh...

[What to do, what to do...]

...Maybe we could split it between restaurants? Or ask for c--catering?

[She's pretty sure that's the word they used when she worked there, anyway.]

[burntviolet]

... That might be a better idea. We could stay at the park and let them cater the food to us. [ After they clean up, that is. ]

[saving_sound]

Then I'll put in a call for catering!

[burntviolet]

Good. I'm sure nobody will mind having a meal after work.

[saving_sound]

They have some soups and stews and things... That might be good to give people some energy after a day of planting, right?

[burntviolet]

Yes. Though, I wonder if we should let everyone choose what they want to eat.

[saving_sound]

Oh-! That might work, too. And just let everybody pick a different place to go?

[burntviolet]

That would be a little messy, though. [ Hmmm... ] Let's stick with the catering, then.
