Ichiba: Oh, I can't eat half-cooked eggs.

Ichiba: Please cook both sides or scramble the eggs.

Nobara: What?

Nobara: Huh? Scr...?

Ichiba: Also, make it orange juice instead of milk.

Naoto: If you can, I'd like to have white meals in the morning.

Nobara's thoughts: They're...they're so spoiled!!

Haibuki: So why is she working there part time?

**Pg. 24**

Yuushin: I have no idea!!

Yuushin: About that kinda stuff.

**Pg. 25**
