Thanks for waiting, Hanamaru. I'm sorry for being late.

Don't worry. It's totally fine.

I was reading a book so the time flew by, zura.

Ah, right. This dorayaki is really good! You can have a bite if you'd like, Ruby.

You sure? Okay, I'll have one bite. *Munch*

Mmm! It's so sweet and fluffy!

Right? I really recommend this, zura.

Thanks, Hanamaru. It was really good.

Don't mention it. So what are you going to order?

Umm… I think I might go with some cake.

Cake is a good choice, zura! Maybe I'll order some too.

Huh? Won't you spoil your dinner if you eat that much?

It's okay! You know what they say—sweets go in a separate stomach!

But I gotta run a little longer tomorrow so that I don't get all round and squishy.

*Giggle* Okay, then I'll run with you!

You will?!

Yeah! I want to make my body stronger, so let's run together!

Thanks, Ruby! Okay then, let's eat a bunch today and build up our strength, zura!
