Ever Since Drifting Ashore

Kanata: Bubble, bubble...♪

Oh my? Hello, Anzu-san.

We have met in an "odd" place~. I am "glad" that we met, fufufu♪

Did you have some sort of "business" in the "hospital"? Did your condition go bad? Did you catch a "summer cold"~?

That is bad~, you have to mind yourself. Managing health is "important" for both "idols" and "Producer".

-Or, that is what Chiaki would say, right~... Giggle, giggle♪

Hm? You seem all right, and "full of energy"? "Overflowing with pow-er~♪" are you?

Fufufu. Anzu-san, you have "cute" points about you at times~...♪

Huh. An acquaintance is "hospitalized," so you came for a "get-well visit".

Anzu-san, your spirit is "perfectly well," is it?

That is reassuring~♪ It is "most important" for childen to be energetic.

Yes? Yes... I am still "a child" as well. I understand, as I am just a "high school student".

It would be something very "happy" if I could stay a "child" as long as I could.

Ah, I am all right. I did not come here because I am "sick".

Even in this "season," I would not catch a "cold" even if I went for a "swim".

It is almost "summer" after all. Fufufu, there is a lot of "Mr. Sun"~...♪

Erm, well. I am "bad" with the stuffy and humid "heat" and so... I went for a "swim" in the "sea".

And then, I was stung by a "Portuguese man-of-war".

Oh, do you know of it? It is a "dangerous" type of "jellyfish-san" and gives off a billowy~ feeling.

Fufufu. It is an "alien"-like, dreadful "jellyfish-san" that was placed into the ocean in order to "kill" humans.

It was not even that "season" for it yet, so I let my "guard down" a bit~. What I did was the "mistake of a lifetime".

Fufufu. Maybe because we have had "abnormal weather" lately, "locally" there have been "quite the number of outbreaks" it seems.

Due to the "effects" of "environmental pollution" and such, the Earth as a "whole" has become much stranger. Darn it, how worrying.

However, as there have been "a lot" of weird "fishes" and all being born, there is something interesting about that.

Recently, I have been waiting for that kind of "sudden displacement" to gather together.

Is it weird, for me to "capture" them... I have been "raising" them in the "Clubroom" of the "Marine Life Club"~

If you are interested, please come for a "study".

Fufu. Using those kinds of "weird organisms" as "models," I made "stuffed animals" too. Well, I had "free time" while "hospitalized".

I will give it to Anzu-san. Okay, here you go... Please accept this love~♪

Nn? The one who would be "happier" to be given this would be Midori, you say...?

That is right~, as that child does seem to like "mascot characters" after all.

With me, for some reason those "mascot characters" look somewhat... When I am tired or "unconscious," I would hug them tight.

Being touched has not exactly been my "strong point," but...

I had been "stressed" then. Lately there are times when I have been surprisingly "happy" as well.

Strange, is it not. Fufufu, maybe I have become "odd" due to the "abnormal weather" too?

Oh no. I am sorry. We "talked" on for a long time...

I was locked away in the "hospital room" for forever, so I became lonely.

They took out the "venom" from the "Portuguese man-of-war," so I am already "energetic" now. My household is a bit "overprotective," you see.

Nn? It is because I am "treasured" by my family... -you say?

How should I say it. It is because I am surely a treasured upon treasured "living god".

Fufu. More importantly, Anzu-san... Are you hungry?

The "follower" people came and brought many "goods for wellbeing", things such as "fruits" and "candy".

I do not "like" them very much, nor can I eat them all... Anzu-san, please "take them home," if you could.

Yes. It is all right to eat them here.

Here you go, do not "hold back"... I will give it to you to eat, so go Aah~n♪

Is it good?

That is nice~, you finally were able to "smile". Anzu-san, you are a "growing child," so please eat a lot♪

"Summer" is when "foods" spoil easily. For you to be eating them has been a "great help," before they go to "waste".

Thank you very much, Anzu-san. Good~ girl, good~ girl...♪

Fufu. Yes, that is correct. Truly, it has completely become "summer".

I would like to go to the "sea" with everyone to play, this year as well.
