Collection 6

Nanaka, series 1

"Guys," announced Nanaka. "As your club advisor and someone who had been here to Nankaisei, I will make myself available to tutor you for a week whilst the shop is in slow season. Do your best for this test!"

"Nanan-chan!" said Anju raising her hand. "Can you teach me to spot patterns in the test questions?"

[ Oh! Been busy lately? Keep it up. Eheh~ Moh, don't ask me how to spot patterns, too, OK? ]

"Why don't you just try it on your own, Touya-kun?" said Nanaka of the kayak. "We can start here in the cove, if you like."

"I'm really not very good at balancing this thing, honest."

"Ahahaha~ So you really insist on being in the same boat with me, ne?"

[ You look funny when you flail around with the paddle, you know that? ]

"Oh, Touya-kun," said Nanaka one Saturday afternoon at the harbor, "Shopping for island goodies, is it?"

"Haha, yeah, but just a bit. Just enough to last the weekend."

She nodded with a smile. Just then, "Oh. Can you please tell them? All of my classes will have a practical test on Tuesday. Don't they ever skip that, alright?" Wink! "Especially Ani."

[ Oh? What box is this? Is it... Is it for me?! Moh, I hope this isn't some kind of reward for me to do something weird on anyone's test marks. Hah... I think I know exactly who made this... ]

"Want some fresh coconut salad?" Nanaka asked.

"Sorry, I'm not that into creamy salads."

"I'll put in a twist, just for you! How about we top it with ice cream and chocolate syrup?"

[ Well? Eheheh~ I hope it isn't too bad for my first try. ]

                       ° ° ° ° °

"Here," said Nanaka offering the abalone. "I didn't put in too much flavoring. Hope you don't mind."

"No, not at all. It smells fresh. Fresh is best when it comes to seafood, isn't it?"

Bright, sparkling laugh. "You're beginning to have a true feel of the ocean. I like it." Wink!

[ Hey, slow down. You might eat up everything so soon! ]
