location: church
Mari: Oh my, it sure is lively here, isn't it? Kana: Hyah! You surprised me! Maria: Ah, youāre the Tennis Teamās⦠Hanaoka-sama. The mass already ended, though. Do you have something you need at the church? Mari: No, not at all. I didnāt come here to pray, since Iām not religious in the first place. I just swung by to see how you were doing, Maria-san. Maria: So thatās why? Mari: Yep. Azusa-san from my Tennis Team was worried about you. You caught a cold and passed out, didn't you? Azusa-san canāt come because sheās working in your stead at the infirmary. And so, I came to check on you instead. Maria: Ah⦠Thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way here. Fortunately, by the grace of God, I have completely recovered āŖ I have caused so much worry for everyone, havenāt I... Iām ashamedā no, it's unforgivable for me to have done so. Iāll need to property apologise to Azusa-sama as well⦠Mari: Hey, showing her a cheerful face is the best apology you could give her. If youāve recovered, then thatās good enough āŖ Iām glad Iāll be able to give her a positive update too. Azusa-san should always have a sparkling smile on her face⦠⪠Oh, yeah. While Iām at it, Kana-san, the dear children on the Volleyball Team were worrying over you, too. Kana: Eh? Me? Ah, right! I hurriedly ran to the church from the infirmary, and itās just been so chaotic here⦠I forgot to tell everyone on the Volleyball Team! Mari: Yeah, give them a call at the very least. Apparently, the whole team went out looking for you. You shouldnāt make your friends worry too much, you know? Iām concerned, since youāre strict on both yourself and others. Donāt get yourself too worked up for everything, alright? Kana: U, uuu⦠Youāre right, Iām sorry⦠H- How embarrassing! I ended up showing a pitiful side of myself to Hanaoka-senpai, whom I admire! Maria: Fufu. Ume-chan, you really are a clumsy person āŖ Kana: Look whoās talking! Better yet, this is all your fault~!! ⦠Achoo ā Maria: Achoo? Kana: H, huh? Achoo, hchoo! Maria: Ume-chan, did you catch a cold? You must go to bed and relax! I shall nurse you back to good health⦠Iām returning the favor, since I caused you so much trouble⦠⪠Kana: Come to think of it⦠You definitely gave me this cold! Itās said that you recover once you give the cold to someone else, and you look right as rain while I feel all sick~!? You're always like this, pushing all your troubles onto me! You always smile so peacefully and all, but I always get the short end of the stick! Achoo, aaaachoo! ā Maria: Ume-chan, youāll hurt your throat if you keep shouting. Fufu. Taking in peopleās troubles and impurities, and cleansing them even through suffering⦠Ume-chan, youāre really just like a saint⦠⪠Compared to you, Ume-chan, I still need more faith. I feel like I just realized it⦠Iām a tiny bit frustrated āŖ Iām proud of you, Ume-chan.
Transfer Student-san, Hanaoka-sama too⦠Can we all pray for Ume-chan together? For my lovable childhood friend. Letās pray, with all our hearts. Itāll definitely reach the skies, and the Lord will definitely, definitely give us his blessings. The Lord has watched over Ume-chanās good deeds, after all⦠āŖ
