Track 6

(The person over there is…Natsuyaki-san.)

……

(He looks a little down… Oh, right!)

Um, Natsuyaki-san.

…Oh, Hamasaki-sama!

My baddie, Chii didn’t see you there at all~! Did ya need something?

If it’s alright, would you like to come with me for a change of scenery? Maybe to the garden Hachinoya-san mentioned?

It gets pretty boring staying cooped up inside all the time…

…! Good idea! Maybe Chii and Co. just need a bit of R&R in the backyard☆ Leave the tour to Chii!

(Wow, the fog is the same as ever, but when you’re this close you can actually see the flowers clearly…)

The ones over there are cosmos~, and these are dahlias! The one growing at your feet are geraniums♪

They’re blooming beautifully, aren’t they?

Right~? Take a gooood look!

(...Huh? Is the ground under the flowers here damp? Maybe it’s because of the fog.)

Nagipeko puts tooons of love into taking care of the flowers here~. Chii helps out sometimes too, but…

Chii’s completely forgotten about it these past few days. ‘Cause Nagipeko went missing…

…There’s been a lot going on, so it’s understandable.

That said, you guys are really close, huh?

Ehehe. We started working here at the same time, so we’ve been like peas in a pod for about three years!

…But lately, Nagipeko’s been acting super sneaky. Like he’s been hiding something from Chii too.

We promised we’d be the best gyarufriend doormen together forever! I wonder if he forgot…

Natsuyaki-san…

There you are! Chii!! I was looking for you~.

Nya? What’s wrong, Mana-pi?

I just whipped up a new kawaii~ invention, and I thought I’d give it to Chii. Here, take this!

Ah, the manager’s rumored inventions…

Are you curious too, Doudou? This is ‘The Moist & Misty Mini Robot’! It boosts the moisture in the air and keeps it nice and humid.

It’s just a slightly minimalist, modified version of my new special creation with a fresh exterior– But of course, it works just as well as the original ♪

Yay~! I knew Mana-pi’d come through for Chii! You remembered that Chii said he wanted a humidifier. Big thankies, Chii’ll use it in the winter~!

Well then!

This is really a humidifier~. So itsy bitsy and cute! …Chii’s feeling a liiiitle better now♪

That’s good to hear.

Big thankies to you too, Hamasaki-sama, for inviting Chii here!

Same to you, thanks for joining me. It was a really nice change of pace.

Chii thinks he’s gonna stick around for a teeny bit more. Chii’s decided he’s gotta keep this garden in tip top shape for when Nagipeko gets back!

That’s a great idea. You two are really close, huh?

Hehe, we’re gyarufriend doormen after all♪ Thanks for hearing Chii out, Hamasaki-sama!

————

(...Hm? Is that Murakumo-san’s voice…?)

I’ve already…payment…

Well, either way—....next time.

(I wonder who he’s talking to? And what does he mean by “payment.”)

……Wait a second. Someone’s outside—

(! This is bad…!)

…They ran away.

(I think I’m feeling a lot better thanks to Hamasaki-sama and Mana-pi.)

(We still don’t know if Nagipeko really disappeared or not. Chii’s gotta find him…!)

…Wait, huh?

W-Why—That’s not.

No way—
