A Purpose ¦ Shokugeki no Souma ¦

C7. Visits

"Hisako, we have to hurry so that we can get there quickly," ushered a certain blonde Nakiri as she hurriedly went down the stairs of her mansion. She had heard the news that Momoka was apparently sick, so she decided to visit and maybe cook up something for the younger female.

"The car is ready, Erina-sama," notified the assistant with pink hair, and she follows shortly behind Erina as they went to the car.

Meanwhile

"Momoka-sama, you have visitors," stated a maid from outside of Momoka's room.

".. Mm, is that so?" Slurring her words, Momoka questions, hugging a pillow much more closer to her. Every time she gets sick, its as if she's drank a few cups of liquor, making people think she was drunk. "You can let them in, I want some company," she adds rather quickly; she really wanted someone to visit her, even if it was just for a few minutes, she wanted to see and hear new voices.

Minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Momoka utters a almost inaudible, "Come in."

"Momoka, how are you feeling?" Came the voice of Hisako, and Momoka shifts to her left to see the younger one.

"I feel like.... Like I'm going to die," was Momoka's rather emo like reply. She was feeling quite dizzy, but since she wasn't standing up, she was fine, but she did feel like she needed the company of someone she was close to; Hisako had arrived at just the perfect time.

Momoka closes her eyes for a few seconds, and when she opens them, she was surprised to see Erina's face close to her own. "O-Oi, Erina! What're you doing?!" Momoka suddenly exclaims and tries to push Erina away, but she couldn't even muster enough strength to lift her hand up.

"O-Oh, my apologies, Momoka!" Said Erina, pulling away to give Momoka her personal space. She was just checking if Momoka was really sick, so she was trying to feel her temperature.

Huffing and pouting, Momoka hogs the blanket around her, "You might get sick if you stay too close to me," she warns as her eyebrows furrow together, and lines start to form on her forehead.

"That's why Erina-sama and I are going to make something for you, Momoka," commented Hisako from the side, smiling gently to not make Momoka more child like than she already was.

Momoka doesn't say anything, but just nods her head as Erina and Hisako left the room to go to the kitchen to make something.

Twenty minutes later

It's been awhile since Erina and Hisako left to the kitchen, and Momoka had dozed off a couple of times, only to stare at the ceiling or at her phone screen if any notification would appear.

Not in the right mind, Momoka listens to the music for a few seconds, but then realized she had to pick it up. And since she was sick, she forgot to look at the ID caller, but there was no turning back now.

".... Speak.." Muttered Momoka once the phone was placed near her ear. She wasn't really in the mood to talk, and she was very much tempted to end the call.

"You're, like, cranky this early in the day? Did, like, something happen? Are you perhaps, like, on your period or--"
