"Jurina, quit playing already. We will be leaving now." Rena said as she came in Mayu's room to pack her things. "Mou, Rena-chan, can't we stay a little longer? I haven't seen Mayu for how many days since she left the hospital." Jurina said with a pout.

"No. I still have a shift at the hospital and you, young lady still have class tomorrow so we will not be staying here. And besides, I believe that Mayu will go back to Tokyo soon enough." Rena said as she give Mayu a meaningful look then she walked towards her and pulled out a small bottle from her bag and handed it over to her. "Be sure to take it this time, Mayu. I still want to see back in Tokyo." She said. Mayu only nodded in response. Rena smiled and ruffled her hair. Mayu playfully slapped her hand and started fixing her messy hair. "Stop doing that! I'm no longer a kid!"

"You will forever be a kid in my eyes just like that kid over there." Rena said, referring to her sister. "Hey! Who are you calling a kid?" Jurina said. Rena just looked at her laughingly. "Oh nothing. Let's just go home." She said then she turned to Mayu. "We'll be going now. See you." Then the two of them walked out of Mayu's room.

Just then, Yuki came out of the guest room to get some water when she saw them. "Oh? Yuki-chan!" Jurina called when she noticed her. Yuki just smiled awkwardly. Seeing Jurina still makes her uneasy especially when she remembered what happened earlier when she woke up.

"You're scaring her." Rena said when she noticed Yuki's uneasiness. "Me? No I'm not!" Her sister protested which made her laugh.

"We're leaving now, Kashiwagi-san. Remember what I told you." Rena said. "Yeah." Yuki only managed to say but her reply seems to be already enough for the doctor as she and her sister, go on their way after that.

"What did she tell you?" Yuki was startled upon hearing it. "Huh?" When she looked at her side, Mayu was already standing there. "Nothing. She just checked if I'm already feeling better." Yuki lied. She doesn't want to let Mayu know that she already had an idea about her being sick.

"Is that so?" Mayu asked, in which Yuki only replied with a nod. "Well if you're feeling better now, get ready because we're going to go on hiking later."

"What?!" Yuki exclaimed in disbelief. "Are you serious?"

Mayu only looked at her with a blank expression. "Do I looked like I'm joking to you?"

"I'm taking back thoughts that she's not that bad because she has no mercy." Yuki thought as she shook her head.

"Good. Now get ready. We will be leaving after lunch." Mayu said before going back to her room.

"What the-?" Yuki's jaw dropped upon seeing the things that they will be bringing for their hike. Her eyes wandered through the things that lined up beside the car - from the tent, to the sleeping bags, telescope, food boxes, to the huge luggage - Yuki had to blink twice to make sure that her eyes is not deceiving her.

"Are we seriously bringing all of these up in the mountain?" Yuki asked. "Yes." Mayu replied. "You looked like you were going move your house with all the stuff lined up beside your car." Yuki said. Mayu only shrugged then she went inside the car.

"Hey! Who do you think will be the one who will carry all these when we get there?" Yuki said as she followed her.

"You."
