It had been a week after that incident he had with Soraru.

All he needed was some rest and the consistent intake of his medicines so that he wouldn't have a hard time during his heat. And as he was out of the snow, he easily got back his energy that he had lost due to the cold. He was feeling a lot better than he was before.

Pon and Kon were told to not go into the room Mafumafu was in until he had fully recovered. But when Soraru was at work at the bakery, Pon and Kon would occasionally come poking their heads into the room and check up on Mafumafu, just to make sure that he was alright. They'd put Mafumafu's food outside the room, by the door, and ask if there was anything else Mafumafu needed. They then, of course, made a promise to not let Soraru know about this.

Mafumafu thought that he had familiarised with the surroundings and structure of the room he was in. He was able to make his way to the door, knowing how many steps it would take from the bed. He also knew that Soraru had a bookshelf and a table in his room where books and papers were scattered on it. There was also a pot of plant he put by the window that was at the edge of his bed, a tiny drawer by the bed and a built-in closet just by the bathroom door.

"Mafumafu-san, here's five hundred yen for a rich chocolate bun,"

Now that he had fully recovered and he felt comfortable enough to get out of the room, he was already on his sixth day working at Soraru's bakery. People were confused at first to be seeing someone new helping Soraru out behind the counters, but with Pon and Kon sticking next to him the entire time on his first day, and telling him everything that he should know about cashiering, especially the amount and the types of buns they were paying for, they slowly understood what was the circumstances.

It was only the sixth day, but since they were at a really small town, according to Soraru, everyone was already used to having Mafumafu at the counter with Pon. They would tell him themselves what they were getting and how much they were paying so that Mafumafu could easily get the change for them. Pon would help make sure that that was the exact amount that was received, and if something was wrong, he would speak up. It was nice to be working with Pon. Pon would be here to look out for him while Mafumafu does the math.

"That would be a change of two hundred and fifty yen," said Mafumafu as he picked out the coins from the cash register and put it out so that the customer could receive them.

"Here you go, and come again!" said Pon after he passed a bag to the customer. When the bell at the door rang and the sound of the door closing shut could be heard, he then held Mafumafu's hand in his and started swaying it from side to side excitedly. "Mafu-kun, that's amazing! Just how are you able to count so quickly?!"

"It's been six days, and you're still saying that, Pon-kun?" Mafumafu laughed softly at how similar Pon reacted to this for the days they were working together.

"That's because Papa and Kon are really good at counting but I'm still far from it," Pon said, sounding kind of disappointed at himself. He stopped swaying Mafumafu's hand and squeezed it tightly. "I know Papa's making me do this because Takako-sensei told him that I was terrible at math,"

"So Pon-kun wants to get better so that you can meet Soraru-san's expectations?" Mafumafu asked gently.

"Yeah. That way, Papa and Kon wouldn't have to worry about me, and they could depend on me a lot more," said Pon.
