Collection 5

Kanako, series 1

"Little turnip, Little turnip, grow and grow an' be a sweet li'l turnip~"

"That doesn't look like a turnip," remarked Touya. "It's more a rounded potato."

"Heheh," replied Kanako smugly. "You can't be a greater turnip expert than me, zura. This one's a special variety."

[ Some of my dearies are drying out, zura. Gotta get to them now.]

"Whoa, Kan-chan, that's a huge burger!"

"And so??? Humph, you here because you're jelly, right? Moh..."

She sliced the thing in half with a knife and offered it to him, with wink. "Do ask nicely next time, zura! OK? Eheh..."

[ "Heehee... Perfect, zura."]

                   ° ° ° ° °

[ My secret? Heh. Metabolism has no secret, zura. I'm simply a higher species than you, ahaha! ]

                   ° ° ° ° °

"Huahhh..." sighed Kanako. "Studying English and Japanese in a row is giving me a headache, zura."

"Try squeezing in your favorite subject in between."

"That's the problem, zura. I don't have a favorite subject."

[ Rappin' is a legit language, right?]

"Today, Kanako will cut down on sweets, zura."

"What about pasta and noodles and burger?"

"Guh... Just one at a time, zura! My heart won't take it if you take away my burger so soon!"

[ Two candies less a day should be enough, zura.]

"Touuuuu-yakun!" singsonged Kanako, not having taken down any notes herself. "Let~me have~a look~at your~Geometry notebook!"

"Sure thing! Here, I just got it from the convenience store yesterday. The paper is so fine and untouched you can wear it!"

"Guhhhh..."

[ Just so you know, I don't like spoilsports, zura. Except those who dish out treats.]

                     ° ° ° ° °

"Please pass around the dip-n-chips I made, zura!"

"Kan-chan," grumbled Rikako, "It's greasy. We'll ruin our books."

"Heehee. Then I'll just spoonfeed you guys, if that's what y'all need. Zura."

[ Ah-right, don't be fussy, say ahhhh...]

"Care to play to play a game with me, Yoshiyuki?" asked Kan-chan.

"I'll pass. There's something in your voice and I don't have a good feeling about it."

"Guh... Humph." To Touya she voiced a sunny, "Ne, ne, let's get Yoshiyuki's shoes and hide it someplace!"

"Don't you even think about it," growled Yoshiyuki, "I'm warning you..."
