Mihiru's First New Friend
Now early the next morning, the family woke up to another day. "Well," Ibara yawned, "Today, well, I still don't know what to do! Oh, wait a minute! I know what to do!" "Sometimes," said Haruto, "You're clueless." "Hey!"Ibara exclaimed.
"Come on, mommy and daddy," said Mihiru, "Let's get ready." "Right," Ibara agreed.
Once again, they got dressed and were ready to go with whatever they had in mind. "So," Haruto asked Ibara, "What's on your mind, my love?" "Well," Ibara thought, "I'm not sure."
"Oh, come on," said Haruto, "You've got to have at least something on your mind." "Well," Ibara replied, "I'm thinking about it." However, Mihiru pointed at something. "Hey, mom," Mihiru called out, "Dad." "Yes?" Haruto replied.
"Uh, there's someone over there," Mihiriu pointed out. They all saw a young woman just walking nearby. Then she stopped and looked around, staring out to nothing in particular."She looks friendly," Ibara said. "Oh, then," said Haruto, "Say, why don't you go over there and talk to her?"
"Ok," Mihiru replied and she ran off towards the woman, who appears to be wearing a lot of makeup.
The woman immediately noticed Mihiru as she ran towards her. Luckily, the woman is friendly. "Hello," the woman said, "What are you doing out here?" "Hi," Mihiru said, "I live here with my parents, my mommy and daddy."
"I see," the woman said. "Uh," Mihiru said, "Who are you?" "My name is Yukimo," the young woman replied, "What's your name?" "My name is Mihiru," Mihiru answered, "It's nice to meet you, Yukimo."
Mihiru then held out her hand, only for Yukimo to grab her hand and shake it roughly. "Whoa!" Mihiru replied. "Whoops," Yukimo said, "Sorry. I guess I do things too rough." "That's okay," Mihiru said. "She almost looks like that Coppelion who tried to juggle knives that one time," Haruto whispered to Ibara.
"Shh!" Ibara whispered, "She's not her!" "I knew that," Haruto said. "You're a nice quiet girl," Yukimo said. "And you're a funny girl," Mihiru chuckled. "I like you," Yukimo said. "Me too," Mihiru replied, "My mommy said that I should make some friends. I've made some friends last year."
"Really?" Yukimo replied, "Well, perhaps I should meet them soon." "Maybe someday," Mihiru replied. "I don't know about that," Ibara whispered. "Maybe we'll figure out something," Haruto replied. "Maybe I should crack a few jokes myself," Yukimo said to herself.
"All right," Mihiru said, "Do you think you can tell one now?" "Actually, not now," Yukimo said, "I must get going now." "Ok," Mihiru said. "Hope to see you again soon," Yukimo said. "Bye!" Mihiru replied before Yukimo left.
"Well," Ibara said, "I'm glad that you've made a new friend. On your own." "Thanks, mom," Mihiru replied. "Well," Haruto said, "I am impressed." "Thanks," Mihiru replied. "Now do you want to meet some more friends?" Ibara asked.
"Sure, mommy!" Mihiru answered excitedly. "I'm glad she had made a new friend," Ibara said to her husband. "At least she's not a-" Haruto said. "Don't say it!" Ibara shouted. "All right," Haruto replied, "I won't."
