“Minami…” Takahashi Minami collapsed once she got to her room due to overworking herself, with Maeda Atsuko at her side to ensure that she stays in bed to rest for a day or so.

Yesterday, when Maeda hit me on the head with the door, I was out for quite a long time. There’s a freaking bump on my forehead, plus I lost my motivation to go find Mayu now.

Sadly, time is restricted. Around two weeks is troublesome. I can do it but procrastinating will create even more trouble. Of course, I’m lagging a lot when it comes to that girl.

I guess I’ll  just have to go and get it over with. As I go to the door, I realize that there’s someone at the other side.

“SAE!!! Don’t you dare slam this door into my head!!!”

“Yuki… You don’t need to worry about me that much…”

Actually, I’m not worrying that much. Rena, it’s just that I care about your health. Though you aren’t actually as frail as you look, it’s better to get a good rest than to cry yourself to sleep.

“Yeah… But you should get some good sleep even if it seems weird to sleep now…”

It is daytime after all. But I just feel like everyone here hasn’t gotten enough sleep. Maybe I am worrying.

“Ah… There’s no need for you to-”

“Sleep.”

I cut her off somewhat forcefully. Am I being too harsh right now? Who knows, I don’t want people to collapse. Plus, even though I can’t say we were ‘friends’, Jurina would probably be sad if Rena was losing sleep time.

Rena gives me a pouting face. Kashiwagi Yuki, ‘BLACK’, lost 100 HP and fainted. Not really.

“Do you want some melon pan later?”

She nods. Somehow, food runs the world doesn’t it? I exit her room.

Takamina PoV

“Minami…Stay in bed…”

Acchan is really serious right now. Even if she doesn’t realize it, she’s emitting a scary aura. Acchan, why are you acting like Mariko-sama in sadist mode and Yuki-san when she’s really displeased?

I’m stuck in bed due to overworking. Everyone was right about that, but I just feel like I needed to. At moments, a person cannot understand her own thoughts.

“I will.” My answer is simplistic, but Acchan smiles.

“Then I’ll cook something for you.”

No, Acchan, please don’t. Though I really feel happy when you do and I’m really happy, your food will kill me. It’s a fact that the majority of AKB members cook poison. Even most of the girls that know how to cook will make something close to inedible due to the fact that they haven’t cooked for a long time.

“Ok…”

If I said ‘No’, I would feel really guilty. That’s just how I am I guess. Let’s just hope I don’t die.
