2. Tohgoh was caught off-guard when Sayama asked to vacation together in exchange for putting up with a double date, and despite Tohgoh being slightly wary of Sayama, she found the vacation very enjoyable. She ends up taken aback by how unusually childish Sayama acted over the course of the trip, lovingly holding her hand, holding back on sex to give Tohgoh's body some rest, and even oversleeping on the second day.
3. "...DO YOU WANT TO COME TO MY PLACE?"
4. "NO..."
5. "WOULD YOU?"
6. Two days definitely wasn't enough.
7. I wasn't concerned about having you all to myself.
8. "WHAT A SURPRISE DIDN'T THINK WE'D MEET LIKE THIS"
9. "I WAS JUST THINKING OF CONTACTING"
10. Seeing Sayama's state, Tohgoh herself suggests they return to the hotel. The two release through action the feelings they couldn't describe with words, and the vacation ends all too soon. Tohgoh rues having to part ways, but Sayama suddenly invites her home. But before Tohgoh can recover from her shock, a lady approaches them both-Sayama's sister-in-law.
1. "Oh... I'm sorry, you must be exhausted."
2. "We are. We just got back from vacation, after all."
3. "Huh...? Sayama seems to be acting as usual."
4. "Sister!"
5. "You should stop bothering Tohgoh-san."
6. "We were supposed to go home early because we have work tomorrow."
7. "No problem, we were just going home, anyway..."
8. "I'm sorry for the fuss."
9. "Chatter"
10. "She seemed unwell before... but maybe I was just imagining it."
11. "I was hoping I could drop by your place, Rika."
12. "Sure! Ready to head out?"
13. "..."
14. "..."
1. "She usually makes time for us, no matter what."
2. "Suddenly, she tells me to take some rest."
3. "I mean, what am I even supposed to do about that...?"
4. "Isn't it a good thing if you don't have to see her anymore?"
5. "Why do you seem so bothered about it?"
6. "..."
7. "Oh, sorry for whining."
8. "But..."
9. "She was always causing trouble for you, wasn't she?"
10. "Exactly! Always having her way!"
11. "I even kept this weekend free for her!"
2. Thank you very much for reading this book. My name is Tabehoudai-no-Namaniku. We saw Sayama's sister-in-law for the first time in this volume. I had always wanted to feature her and she will be heavily involved in the plot, so honestly...I feel glad I finally got to draw her.
3. The story unusually (?) took place in the office, so I had plenty of fun drawing office casual outfits. Trench coats can be cute and really ups the professional look. Wow, what a versatile item...
4. To change things up, I'm planning to release the next volume earlier (probably March or April) so I hope you'll be looking forward to it.
5. And again, thank you very much for reading this far!
