Tamako University

Bonus chapter 2

Bonus chapter 2:

"I'm still not sure... I mean, how do I wash myself if I'm blindfolded?"

"Uh... We could go by feeling? I pretty much always do that because my glasses fog up..."

The 2 of them were completely red and sitting in the bathtub, facing the same direction with Tamako in front of Mochizou.

"So... uh... Mochizou!"

"Yes?!"

Instant response.

"Can you, uh... wash my back? Mochizou?"

...

"I-I'll get the shampoo, then..."

Mochizou shuffled around, splashing water outside of the tub and got up out of the tub (Tamako looked down when he did this), walking around the tub.

"By the way, Mochizou, the floor's probably really slippery right now, so-"

*slip* *crack* *thud*

"Mochizou?"

Tamako stood up and looked down before letting out a scream and recoiling as she looked down to see Mochizou lying on the floor with blood streaming out of his head. She tiptoed her way out of the bathroom, careful not to slip, grabbed her glasses, and rushed to the nearest phone, punching in the number for emergency services.

"You're sure that you're fine?"

"Yeah, I am. The doctors said that it was just a little cut, so I'll be fine."

The 2 of them were now back at home, dressed up in sweats.

"Hm... At least take it easy today, ok? You hit your head and it's Christmas."

"I suppose your right... I've been pretty swamped recently, so maybe I should."

"Yeah, and the shops been easier to manage now that we have more people helping out, although it's a little weird to be younger than your employees, heh... Anyways, today, I'll be treating you a lot, ok?"

"Thank you!"

Mochizou wrapped Tamako in a hug, rubbing her head, causing her expression to turn into a smile.

"Hey, I'm supposed to be the one spoiling you today, Mochizou!"

Tamako halfheartedly tried to pull away, but as soon as Mochizou showed signs of letting go, she squeezed him even harder than he held her. After a few moments of nuzzling into each other, they let go and headed into the kitchen.

"So, what's on the menu today?" - Mochizou

"I was thinking that we could have a hotpot. I could also definitely go for some Mochizou after-"

Both of their faces went turned into tomatoes for a few moments.

"U-um... what I meant to say was that I could make some mochi, so... um..."

Tamako trailed off as the room began to fill with steam.

"A-anyways, I guess I'll be relaxing in the futon, then..."

"Mhm! I'll call you when everything's ready!"

Once Mochizou left, Tamako got to work with getting all the ingredients in one spot and washing the vegetables. Once that was done, she cracked her knuckles and got to work on the mochi-making process. Meanwhile, upstairs, Mochizou was staring at his computer screen as a progress bar made its way across the screen. After a while...
