After having gone shopping for their new apartment together, Konata and Kagami had a couple free days until everything will get delivered and those were badly needed because the shopping trip was extremely tiring for the two.
Unfortunately, those relaxing days were over again before the couple even realized, mainly because they got a new game console and just couldn't stop playing because the two had too much fun. The next week arrived in a flash, and both had to head over to their apartment because today was supposed to be the day where their deliveries are going to come. The two packed a couple clothes, pillows, blankets, daily necessities, and a couple other things because Konata and Kagami had planned to stay a few days there. After they finished packing everything they needed, the two left Konata's house and arrived at their apartment in Yokohama after the usual commute and entered into their new apartment.
"We're back~." Just stepping inside was already enough for Kagami to be in a good mood.
"How creepy would it be if we got an answer now?"
"S-Shut up, idiot!" She didn't want to think about it.
"Hehe, so, let's get going already." The couple got rid of their shoes at the entrance and then went to the kitchen because that was the only place that isn't going to stuffed with cartons of furniture and the likes in the near future. There, two got rid of their coats and the bags they were carrying.
Afterwards, the couple chatted for about an hour while looking around in their apartment until the doorbell rang.
"Oh, looks like the first delivery is here."
"Seems like it, yeah." The two opened the door, and sure enough, a delivery guy was waiting with a couple parcels for them.
The delivery guy placed them in the hallway, and after getting a sign Konata, he quickly left again. The couple opened a box and noticed that the stuff for the kitchen like the cutlery and tableware, including Konata's tools including pans, pots, and the likes were the first to arrive.
Konata wanted to start sorting them into the fitting cupboards already, but the sound of the doorbell ringing again stopped her from doing so.
"So much for that…"
"They sure are on time, those deliveries, huh?"
This time, two delivery guys were waiting for the girls because they were carrying the electronics. The big TV and the washing machine were impossible to carry alone after all. The washing machine went directly to the bathroom, but everything else was placed in a corner of the living room. After getting a sign from Konata as well, they were gone before long again. Grabbing the carton of the coffee machine, Kagami, followed by Konata went to the kitchen again.
"The first thing Kagamin~ secured is the coffee machine, huh? Just what should I do with you…?" Konata couldn't help the teasing about it.
"T-That has nothing to do with my slight fondness for coffee, you know?!"
"Slight fondness, huh? Isn't that what every addict says to their drug?"
"L-Like I said…" Kagami was still trying to deny her caffeine addiction, bit Konata obviously didn't believe her. "T-The coffee machine belongs in the kitchen, right? It only makes sense to bring it with me if we go there, right?"
"Ah, that's how it is, I see~." She decided to play along with her.
"A-ny-way, how about you continue to sort what goes in which cupboard while I set up the coffee machine? You know, that electrical component that belongs into the kitchen, which we're currently in, while setting up things."
"Okay~." Konata had still much to say, but she opted against it because Kagami looked like she was about to get scary again.
"Very well." Kagami's smile actually was scary already.
With that, the two continued to get the kitchen ready. Konata sorted the pots, pans, kitchen utensils, cutlery, tableware, cups, and whatever else into the fitting cupboards while Kagami was busy fiddling with the coffee machine.
Some hours passed, and the two were back to killing time again because they were done with the kitchen and Kagami might or might not had a cup of coffee to test the machine, or maybe it was even three cups, but who was counting anyway. One thing was for sure, though, she definitely didn't want to have a fourth cup when the doorbell finally rang again.
"Ah, it looks like the furniture has finally arrived…"
"Yep, and not a single minute earlier than expected…" Kagami sounded sarcastic for a reason. The furniture was supposed to arrive three hours ago, but neither of them believed that would happen anyway. So, three hours later was a way more realistic time. Rather, the two were surprised that the kitchen stuff and electronics arrived on time.
The couple opened the door, and a small armada of delivery guys was at the other side. The two told them what goes in which room and the delivery guys busily began moving the boxes in the corresponding places. Not even 20 minutes passed until about a million boxed were littered all over the apartment, and Konata and Kagami were alone again.
"Well, that was fast…" Konata was impressed.
"Yeah, even though they were late, those guys sure knew what they were doing…" Kagami was also impressed by the speed of how fast the boxes were transported into their apartment.
"Well then, she we start, Kagamin~?"
"Of course! Just with what…?" She looked around, and all she saw was cardboard literally everywhere.
"Hmm… How about the bedroom? Because we're going to sleep there tonight, and it's already afternoon, the bed should be our highest priority right now, don't you think?"
"That's an excellent idea, Kona, let's do that." Having decided on a room to start with, Konata and Kagami went to their bedroom.
….
They unwrapped the four huge cartons of the bed and were shocked by the contents. The couple was looking at like a billion pieces, screws, and various other things both had never seen in their lives before.
"Erm…" Konata was just scratching her head.
"Oh, I think we made a huge mistake by not getting the assembly service as well…" Kagami also looked overwhelmed by all those parts.
"That coming from you, huh…? You saw how expensive that was, didn't you?"
"Ah, right, there was that…" Kagami remembered the price list and quickly changed the topic back to the problem at hand. "Okay, where do we start?"
"Hmm… Have you seen the assembly instruction manual… thingy somewhere…?"
"Manual, huh…? Let me see…" Kagami looked around and found an instruction book hiding beneath some packaging material. "Ah, there it is… wow."
"Wow indeed…" Konata wasn't expecting such a heavy lecture and opened a random page. "Eh… Wait a moment… That's not Japanese, is it…?"
"Seriously?!" Kagami looked at the book and quickly had a dumbfounded expression. "Kona… While I agree that the language really isn't Japanese, it looks like something European, you're also holding it the wrong way up…"
"R-Really…? You never know when it comes to the Latin alphabet…" Konata was a little embarrassed and quickly turned the manual around. "Ah, now it makes more sense… Thanks, Kagamin~."
"Wait a moment, what do you mean by it makes more sense now? Don't tell me you can read it?! Because that's definitely not English, you know?! Even you should see that…"
"Hmm… It looks like German, I think… Let me see… A… Au… Auf… ba… bau… Aufbau… an... anle… Aufbauanle… leit… leitung… anleitung… Aufbauanleting, is what it says… More or less, I think…" Konata had a hard time with the pronunciation, but something similar to a word came out at the end.
"Ehm… eh... wait… what?" Kagami couldn't understand what just happened. "Y-You can speak German, Kona?! How? Why? What?"
"I had to play a game I was interested in with German text because there was no translation available and it looks like something got stuck from back then…
"Seriously…? I really can't say whether you're amazing or something else entirely right now…"
"Ehehe~." She took it as a compliment. "Anyway, it looks like we're going in the right direction…"
"Really? What doe auf… aufba… That word you said earlier mean?" Kagami didn't even try to get the pronunciation right and gave up before it became too embarrassing.
"Erm… No idea about the first part, but anleitung means something like instruction or manual, if I remember right."
"I see… Well then, good luck with the rest, Kona."
"Yeah, no… not happening."
"I figured as much… Wait, aren't those manuals usually Multilanguage? Isn't there some table of contents thing at the beginning?" Kagami wasn't seriously expecting here to read the German instruction manual for assembling the bed.
"Oh, you're right. Japanese… Japanese… Ah, there it is, page 346… Really, 346?!" She found the Japanese section and was shocked by the page number.
"They sure went all out on that thing, huh?"
"Absolutely… Okay, step one…" Konata looked at the instructions, but suddenly turned the whole manual upside-down again.
"What are you doing, Kona…?"
"You see, either I was holding it wrong again, or I think you need a doctorate degree to be able to understand that thing…."
"You're just overreacting, aren't you?" Kagami looked at the manual as well and tried to understand step one for starters. "First, locate the board 32.1a-C2:50 and attach the metal angle XP-15.5/2y_4 at the pre-drilled holes, using the screws 15-b/4:30 and 20-d/6:45… Ehm… I think that's the German manual again, Kona…" She didn't understand a single thing.
"Nope, you're on the right page, Kagamin~."
"… What?" She turned the book upside-down as well, but it naturally wasn't making any sense this way, either. "Are they serious…?"
"Thank god I'm not the only one…" Konata was relieved that Kagami as well didn't understand the instructions. "How about we spread everything out in the room and look if the pieces are marked or something like that…"
"Yeah, let's do that." The couple got up from the floor and began spreading out every part that was in the boxes of the bed and it actually only barely fitted in the bedroom. Thankfully, the two then noticed that most pieces had little stickers with the part-numbers printed on it, but they weren't entirely happy about the situation.
"Is it just me, or are those way too many parts for just a bed…?"
"Nope, it's definitely not just you, Kona." Kagami nodded while looking around. Their bedroom surely wasn't small, but the parts were still literally everywhere.
"We should've taken up dad's offer and accept his offer to help us…" Konata began to regret that she boldly announced that the two wanted to do it on their own.
"That's true…" Kagami felt the same. "Oh, look at that, I found the board 32.1a-C2:50!" She suddenly lifted up one of the pieces the instruction mentioned in step one and seemed really happy about it.
"S-Seriously?!" Konata was almost too shocked about it.
"Okay, let's try this again!" Having found the right piece to start with, Kagami had an extreme rise in her motivation.
"Oho, that's the spirit I was missing~!" Konata also felt motivated again, and the two gave their best.
Once they had step one completed, the couple continued to make slow, but unsteady progress throughout the whole ordeal. It didn't take long, because it took a small eternity and a few minutes on top of it, and something similar to a bed began to slowly form in their bedroom.
As it turned out, the couple was wholly and utterly incompetent when it came to assembling furniture. It was a medium sized that they were even able to finish setting up the bed at all because it sure didn't look like it was working at all during the process. Once Kagami and Konata looked out of the window, the two were in for yet another shock. It was already completely dark outside, and after checking the time, they found out that it was late evening already.
"Wow, that sure went well…" Kagami couldn't believe that it took them like half a day just to get their bed assembled.
"We're slightly behind schedule, aren't we, Kagamin~?" Konata tried to take it with humor.
"Just a bit… More importantly, now that I'm aware of the time, I'm suddenly pretty hungry…" Much like Konata, Kagami had slightly interesting priorities from time to time.
"Yeah, I could eat something as well. Should we test whether the delivery services around here are any good?"
"That's a very good idea. Let's see…" Kagami took out her phone and looked for nearby delivery services on it. "Hmm… How about pizza?"
"Tuna please~." She seemed to like the suggestion.
"Sure thing. So, what should I get…" Kagami thought about it for a while and opting for a pizza with chicken, she called the delivery service. "40 minutes, huh…?"
"Want to unpack the dresser while we wait?"
"Not really, no." Kagami wasn't a fan of the idea.
"Just taking a peek? Maybe it's easier than the bed, you know?"
"Well, we eventually have to do it anyway, don't we? Might as well do it now…" Kagami gave up on protesting, and the couple began unwrapping the two packages that contained the parts for the dresser. 15 minutes passed, and the bedroom looked once more like a battlefield. Weirdly enough, the dressed seemed to be even more complicated.
"Nope, not happening." Konata just shook her head as she had the same opinion as Kagami now.
"Absolutely no way…" The couple looked at the billion dresser parts and gave up entirely because it was simply no use.
"I guess it's time for the last resort, huh?"
"It looks like it, Kona…" Kagami grabbed her phone again and dialed a different number. "Hey, sis~…" Because there was no way Konata and Kagami would be able to assemble the furniture on their own, they had to call for help, and Tsukasa was her only choice because the couple's parents are coming over in a couple days at the earliest. The two had wanted to do it on their own, but that option simply wasn't available anymore. She put Tsukasa on speaker so that Konata could hear her as well.
[Oh, hello, onee-chan, what's up?]
"Kona's also listening.
[Ah, hey, Kona-chan.]
"Hey-hey~."
[So, what's wrong? Did something happen?]
"Ehm, well…" Kagami wasn't sure how to answer Tsukasa's question. "It's a little complicated."
"You see, the housewarming party is canceled for now…" Konata added her own part.
[Hmm?] Tsukasa obviously didn't understand.
"And so, could you come over before that? Oh, and also bring Miyuki with you."
[Huh…? Eh, sure, but what is even going on?]
"It's a little embarrassing, but it seems like Kona and I are slightly incompetent when it comes to assembling furniture…"
"We need help!" Konata de-complicated Kagami's explanation further.
[I see… Wait a moment, please. Yuki-chan is here as well, so I'll put the two of you on speaker as well.]
"Why am I not surprised?"
"Shut up, Kona."
[Good evening, Konata-san and Kagami-san.] Miyuki joined the conversation as well, and the usual group was complete again.
"Hey~."
[So, what was that about helping again?]
"Ah, right… Kona and I wanted to set up the apartment on our own, but that was a huge mistake… The two of us needed like half a day just to assemble the bed, and…"
"If it continues like that, Kagamin~ and I are finishing up things around June, I guess…"
[Is it really that bad]
"It's even worse." Miyuki got her answer in stereo.
[Are you sure we're going to be of any help, onee-chan?] Tsukasa wasn't sure whether she was the right person to ask.
"I hate to say it, but absolutely no one could be any worse than Kona and I…"
"I'm Kona, and I agree with Kagamin~."
[Okay…] Tsukasa wasn't used to Kagami readily admitting that she's bad at something. She was sure that it was serious now. [We would love to help.] She was happy that her sister wanted to rely on her. [Ah, wait, what about you, Yuki-chan?]
[Ehm, sure, sounds like fun.]
"Ahaha…" Konata and Kagami couldn't agree with that.
[Oh, onee-chan, would it be possible for us to sleep over? We could help two days then.]
"Sleeping over, huh?" Kagami thought about it. "We bought a sofa that can be converted into a bed, so it would theoretically be possible, but we need to set it up first then tomorrow."
[Cool, that's a yes then, right?]
"Sure, two days are better than one after all."
[Yay!] Tsukasa sounded happy about being able to stay over.
[Kagami-san, Konata-san, do we need to bring anything for sleeping over?]
"Let's see… Oh, you need pillows. Oh, you need pillows. Blanket should be fine, we have a spare one here. Well, if you're cool with sharing one, that is~."
[Y-Yes, that shouldn't be a problem, Konata-san. Right, Tsukasa-san…?] Miyuki sounded a little embarrassed over the phone.
[O-Of course, it's okay.] Tsukasa's reaction was similar.
"Ehehe~." Konata had her fair share of fun with them.
"Thank you so very much, you two." Kagami managed to stay serious.
[It's no problem, onee-chan, we're happy to be of help.]
[It is as Tsukasa-san says. When should we come over tomorrow?]
"The earlier, the better, I guess."
[I understand. I'll try my utmost to wake up Tsukasa-san in the morning then.]
[E-Eh…?] Tsukasa, who tended to sleep into the late afternoon lately, hadn't thought about that yet.
"I count on you, Miyuki. As her sister, I allow you to resort to forceful methods as well."
[I understand.]
[O-Onee-chan?!] She began to panic.
"Good, I'll mail you the address later then."
[H-Huh? Oh, okay, onee-chan…] Tsukasa noticed that she had lost.
[Well then, see you tomorrow.]
"Bye-bye~." Kagami and Konata ended the call, and the two were happy that they're getting help.
"Thank god they agreed to help us…"
"Extra help, get~."
"Kona, we aren't going to continue assembling the dresser, right?" Kagami was looking at the chaos in their bedroom and let out a sigh.
"Why should we? We're getting help tomorrow after all." Konata didn't feel like continuing either.
"Good." She felt relieved about it.
The couple passed about 10 more minutes with chatting until the pizzas the had ordered finally arrived. Using a big box of still unassembled furniture as a makeshift table and two smaller ones as chairs, the two had a somewhat unusual looking dinner. 20 minutes later, the pizzas were gone, and the two seemed satisfied.
"I think we can order there again in the future."
"Yep, they were pretty good." The first delivery service had passed their inspection. After cleaning up, the two were unsure what to do next.
"So, now that we've decided to ignore the furniture, what should we do for the rest of the evening, Kagamin~?" Konata looked around, but wherever her gaze ended, only brown cartons came into view.
"Hmm… How about a change of pace and we go outside for a walk?" Kagami had enough of the boxes around them.
"Oh, yeah, let's do that." Konata agreed to the plan, and the two got ready to leave.
Leaving their apartment, the couple exited the building through to the lobby. Walking around a bit, they eventually entered the small park near their apartment complex. There, Konata and Kagami sat down on a bench and enjoyed the fresh air while reminiscing about the day and feeling extremely stupid.
"I can't believe we're actually even too incompetent to assemble furniture…" Kagami was embarrassed just thinking about it.
"No, it's all the instruction manual's fault…" Konata tried to shift the blame.
"You think so?"
"Nope, not all. Well, it's a little complicatedly written, but it's just too embarrassing to admit because it's surreal just how bad we're at it…"
"Yeah…" Kagami knew it was right, but she couldn't help feeling dejected either.
"Well, we're getting help tomorrow, so all's fine~."
"As long as Tsukasa and Miyuki are any good at assembling furniture, that is."
"I-I'm sure they are…" Konata began having some doubts.
"Let's just hope for the best."
"Anyway~." Konata changed the topic. "Isn't it great that we're finally here? Only our graduation from high school at the end of the next week is left before our new life starts here."
"That's true." Kagami had no better words. "I still can't fully believe it. It's just too good to be true…"
"Hehe~, don't worry, it's all real."
"Mh-hmm…" The struggles from earlier were already forgotten. "Kona, I love you." Kagami faced her, grabbed her shoulders, and then gave Konata a kiss on her lips. Konata returned the kiss after a short moment, and the couple exchanged a couple more of them. It was already dark in the area, so they didn't need to worry about being spotted.
"I love you, too, Kagamin~." They parted again after a while, and Konata returned the reaffirmation of her love.
"Ehehe~." Kagami had heard those words countless times already, but they still made her beyond happy.
"You sure are cute~."
"I know, but you aren't half bad either." Kagami was in an excellent mood. The couple enjoyed each other's company for a while longer, but Konata spoke up soon enough.
"Well then, how about we head home again? I forgot how cold it still is, especially during the evening after the sun's gone…" Konata was still as sensitive to the cold as ever.
"Home, huh? Sure, let's go home." She had taken a liking to a particular word in Konata's sentence.
"So damn cute…" She couldn't believe her luck with the girlfriend she got. She grabbed Kagami's hand, and the couple went back to their apartment while smiling from ear to ear like the idiots they were.
…
Arriving in their apartment, the two thought about what they should do for the rest of the evening and night again because it was still too early to go simply to sleep.
"Any idea how to spend the rest of the day, Kona? Not that there's much to do here right now…"
"How about… Oh, how about we temporarily set up the smaller TV in the bedroom and watch a movie while we get comfy in our new bed while trying it out?"
"Hmm… Interesting idea, but… are you sure that's a good plan? After assembling the bed and giving up on the dresser, I somehow have a bad feeling about it." Kagami was wondering whether it was a good idea for them to try installing the TV or not.
"Now that I think about it… Yeah, let's not do that after all." Konata understood her concern. "Do you have another idea, Kagamin~`?
"Let me think…" Kagami looked around to get an inspiration, but then she suddenly looked like she remembered something that could help. "Ah, I totally forgot that I brought my new laptop with me." After she had passed the entrance test and got accepted to the college, Kagami got a new laptop from her parents as a reward and to use it for her college studies. "How about we watch a movie on that instead?"
"Oh, nice idea, let's do that."
"How about we start with a bath before that, though?"
"Yes, that's even better." Konata liked that idea very much.
"Let's go then."
The couple got a couple spare clothes and towels, together with some other things and went to the bathroom. After the tub was ready and the two had cleaned themselves, they entered the water and seemed to be really relaxed while taking a long soak. The big tub was really worth its money, not that the two needed a big one, but it was incredibly nice not having a cramped feeling. Once Konata and Kagami were done with their bath, they went to the bedroom, but there were still some preparations left before they could get comfortable there. The bed was still basically just a mattress right now, but adding some sheets, pillows and a blanket quickly solved the problem, though. Afterwards, the two didn't waste much time and directly made themselves comfortable on their new bed. Using a loosed board from the still unassembled dresser that was lying around in the room as a temporary stand for the laptop, Konata and Kagami began relaxing on the bed while watching a random movie they found online.
Roughly half an hour passed, and the two were ready to give a first evaluation of their new bed, but from the happy looks of them, the answer was already evident.
"So, what do you think, Kagamin~?"
"I like it. It was almost worth the fight we had in the store before getting it, almost."
"Mh-hmm…" Konata actually didn't want to remember that day. "But, yeah, we bought a good one." She liked the bed as well.
Once the couple had finished the movie, the actual endurance test for the bed was about to begin. The test of comfortableness was passed, but there were still various other things the bed had to survive. Also, the first night in their home had to be appropriately celebrated after all.
Many things were tested that night, and the bed passed everything with ease and luckily survived it as well. Kagami also hadn't forgotten the promise she gave Konata on Christmas when she told her about the apartment. Because Konata had planned everything on her own without even telling her anything, Kagami promised to claim every single first in their new home as revenge. A high amount of very interesting firsts were claimed during that night.
….
The morning of the next day arrived way too quick, and the couple looked rather tired for some reason. After Konata and Kagami got up, the first thing they did was taking a long and thorough shower for various reasons.
Once the two were clean again, both retook a look at their apartment and let out a big sigh. Everywhere they looked at, the only things that came into view were cartons full of furniture, or in the case of the bedroom, pure chaos in the form of packaging material and parts of their still unassembled dresser.
"Haa… I hope Tsukasa and Miyuki are coming soon…" Kagami felt depressed just looking at it.
"Haa… I hope Tsukasa and Miyuki are better at assembling furniture than us…" Konata's concern was slightly different.
"Let's just not go there, Kona." She tried her best to stay positive.
"Yes, it'll be fine…" Konata hoped for the best as well.
The couple passed the next hour with chatting and cleaning up their bedroom. Both were a little hungry, but breakfast was somewhat tricky because the two had absolutely nothing food-like at home. Thanks to that, the only thing they had in the morning was a cup of coffee, or a couple in Kagami's case while they were waiting for Miyuki and Tsukasa to arrive.
Luck was on their side, and the two arrived not long afterward. It seemed that Tsukasa actually managed to get up early on her own because she was so excited about finally seeing the apartment of Kagami and Konata. Their early arrival made the couple extraordinarily happy because that meant they're getting a lot of help today.
Miyuki and Tsukasa entered the apartment and immediately began to excitedly look around at the entrance before even getting rid of their shoes. Once they, mainly Tsukasa, calmed down, Kagami guided them to the kitchen because that was the only play they could store their coats right now.
"Wow, your kitchen is awesome!" Tsukasa fell in love with the couple's kitchen at first sight.
"Yes, it looks very nice." Miyuki liked it as well.
"I'm sooo jealous!" She wanted to have a kitchen like that for herself as well.
"Ehehe~." Konata and Kagami were happy about the praise.
Once they had enough of the kitchen and had gotten rid of their coats and bags, the couple gave Miyuki and Tsukasa a tour through the rest of their home. Even though the two were slightly overwhelmed by the number of boxes, both seemed to like the apartment very much.
"It's sooo nice here!"
"Tsukasa-san's right, it's a charming apartment you found here, Konata-san, Kagami-san."
"We know~." The two almost sounded like they were bragging about it.
"Ah, I almost forgot… Kona-chan, onee-chan, have you two had breakfast yet?"
"Only some coffee."
"Onee-chan…" It seems like Tsukasa was aware of her sister's slight caffeine addiction.
"I-It's fine, you know?! A-Anyway, why are you asking, sis?"
"Yuki-chan and I bought some bentos at the train station in Tokyo because getting up early and preparing breakfast was too much for me… We got some extra for the two of you because we assumed you had no food here yet."
"Really? Thank you very much. It's exactly as you say… We have absolutely nothing here right now…" Kagami was glad for her thoughtful little sister.
"It's in the blue bag in the kitchen."
"Okay, thanks. Is it okay if we eat it now?" Kagami was rather hungry.
"Sure, go ahead. Ah, can Yuki-chan and I take a look at the already unpacked dresser in your bedroom? I want to find out how complicated it is to assemble."
"Of course, that's why we asked you two to come over today in the first place. Go ahead and try your luck with it."
"Okay~."
That being said, the group split up. While Kagami and Konata went to the kitchen to finally have breakfast, Miyuki and Tsukasa disappeared into the bedroom of the couple. Konata and Kagami finished eating in a little under 20 minutes, and when they decided to go to their bedroom as well to look how the two were doing, they were beyond shocked.
"Ehh…"
"W-What?!" The couple couldn't believe their eyes. The two had hoped that Miyuki and Tsukasa had understood the manual by now because that would already be a considerable accomplishment in their eyes, but that was a grave misjudgment.
"Ah, Kona-chan, onee-chan, how was the bento? Just give us five more minutes and were done with the dresser, okay?" Far from being able to understand the manual, Tsukasa and Miyuki were already applying the finishing touches to the assembled dresser.
"Where do you two want to have it placed?" Miyuki also ignored the couple's state.
"S-Seriously?!"
"W-What?!" Kagami could only repeat herself again.
"Did we do something wrong, onee-chan…?"
"N-No, that's not it…" She didn't even know what to say in this situation.
"How is it even possible to be this good at assembling furniture?!" Konata was more direct about the problem the two were having right now.
"Ehh, are we?" Tsukasa wasn't aware just what kind of miracle she and Miyuki had performed in the eyes of Konata and Kagami. "It was really fun, you know?" She only made it worse.
"Indeed, I also had fun while assembling the dresser. The instruction manual's very logically structured, and I like this kind of precision work." Adding insult to injury, Miyuki dealt the finishing blow to them.
"Haa…" Konata and Kagami weren't sure how they should feel about this, but they were convinced that it certainly wasn't a good feeling, though, and so they only let out a strained sigh.
"Aaand we're done~." Tsukasa and Miyuki moved the dresser into the right spot. "How does it look, Kona-chan, onee-chan?"
"Ah, uh, yes… very good… Thank you very much… you two are a real lifesaver…" While their eyes resembled those of dead fish, void of any life, the couple didn't care anymore and just accepted reality while being at least happy that they got competent help.
After the dresser was assembled and put in place, the girls left the bedroom and went to the living room because it's the priority for the day. Miyuki and Tsukasa are staying over, so they needed a place to sleep on after all, and that would be the sofa in the living room.
"With what should we start…?" Miyuki looked around, but there were so many boxes around that she was too overwhelmed to choose.
"Hmm… Starting with the sofa would probably the best because it's the place you two are going to sleep on tonight. We should make sure that this is finished at least." The couple bought a sofa that could be converted into a bed extra for cases like this when friends are staying over. Without that being ready, Miyuki and Tsukasa would have no place to sleep on.
"Oh, yes, that makes sense, Kagami-san." Miyuki agreed to her plan. Thankfully, the sofa was extremely easy to assemble. After getting rid of the plastic foil that was wrapped around the three parts of the sofa, they only had to connect those parts with a few screws. Even Konata and Kagami would've been able to do this. Probably, at least. Once it was finished, the girls sat down on the sofa to take a short break.
"Oh, it's super comfy~." Tsukasa had immediately taken a liking to the sofa.
"Yes, it's indeed very comfortable. I also like the design and color. The dark gray looks very nice." Miyuki had a favorable impression of it as well.
"Ehehe~." The couple was happy to hear their praise.
"What should we do next, onee-chan?" Tsukasa was in a good mood and quickly wanted to continue.
"Let's see… Maybe we should split up. Working with four people would be too much, especially because Kona and I are only going to stand in your way…" Kagami had accepted her position. "How about you two assemble the bookshelf over there while Kona and I try to assemble the lowboard for the TV?" She pointed at the boxes next to the sofa where the bookshelf was contained in.
"Okay, let's do that~." Tsukasa was so happy she could help her sister and Konata that she was way too motivated. Miyuki followed her a moment later, and the two began unwrapping the bookshelf with quick movements.
"Should we do our best, too, then, Kona?"
"Well, we should at least try…" Konata wasn't very optimistic about the about the whole thing.
The couple went over to the big box of the lowboard and began unwrapping it as well. 20 minutes had passed, and while Miyuki and Tsukasa were already making good progress, Konata and Kagami were still busy with mainly littering the whole living room with packaging material. Another 15 minutes went by, and the couple had finally found the bottom piece and the other things that were asked for step 1. in the assembly manual of the lowboard. Miyuki and Tsukasa's progress was outstanding again. Actually, while the couple was still busy with the first step, those two were about to finish the bookshelf already. Once it was finished and put in place, both of them then went to assemble the sofa table because they had nothing to do. After that was done as well, the two joined the couple because they were still struggling with the lowboard.
"Sooo frustraaating…" Humiliation would be the best word to describe Kagami's feelings right now.
"Mh-hmm…" Konata wasn't much different from her.
Even though the couple still didn't like the situation where they were feeling way more stupid than usual, both still had no choice other than accepting Miyuki's and Tsukasa's help. Once the two had joined Konata and Kagami in the assembly of the lowboard, they suddenly made extraordinary progress, and they finished things up before the couple even realized what was going on.
"Ah, that was fun again~."
"Sure…" The couple began to think that Tsukasa was teasing them on purpose now.
Afterwards, the group went over to the dining area of the living room to take care of the dining table and its chairs. Each girl grabbed a carton with a chair and started assembling them. Needless to say at this point, Miyuki and Tsukasa had already finished their chairs and began assembling the table while Konata and Kagami were still struggling. By the time the couple had barely finished their chairs, the other two were already done with assembling the dining table as well without the slightest problem.
"What should we do now, onee-chan?" Tsukasa's motivation was still over the top.
"How about calming down for starters?" Kagami couldn't deal with her sister's excess energy right now.
"Miyuki, how about you and Tsukasa go to the kitchen and prepare some tea. Could you do that? I think it's time for another break…"
"That's an excellent idea, Konata-san. Tsukasa-san, should we go?"
"Yes~."
"Good. In the meanwhile, Kagamin~ and I will clean up here. The packaging material made quite the mess after all."
"Shouldn't we help with that?"
"No." Kagami interrupted her. "That's the only thing Kona, and I can do here…" They weren't any help during the assembling.
"I-I see…" Because there was nothing nice for Miyuki to say here, she remained silent, grabbed Tsukasa, and went to the kitchen.
"Let's start cleaning up then, Kagamin~…"
"Yeah…" The couple was a little bit depressed.
While the two were busy cleaning up, 15 minutes quickly passed. Miyuki and Tsukasa had finished preparing the tea and came back to the living room. Everyone got together at the dining table and enjoyed a cup of tea while relaxing a bit. While drinking, Miyuki and Tsukasa looked around and seemed interested in the living room that was mostly done now.
"Konata-san, Kagami-san, the furniture looks really nice. Was it hard to find?"
"…" The mood in the room suddenly changed, and the couple awkwardly faced each other. "Ahaha…" While letting out a dry laugh, they looked away again.
"D-Did something happen during your shopping trip last week?" Seeing their reacting, it wasn't a hard guess for Miyuki.
"Well, you see…" Konata began explaining what happened during their furniture shopping, about how difficult it was, and how it ended up in lots of arguing and even having a fight.
"W-Wow…" Miyuki hadn't expected it to be that much trouble.
"Heh, so one-chan and Kona-chan are actually capable of fighting with each other…" Tsukasa's cause for being surprised was slightly different, but Miyuki gave her a nod because she had a point. Tsukasa knew that their usual bickering and teasing had nothing to do with fighting after all.
"Well, even if we had a fight, Kona and I made up the next moment we saw each other, though…"
"As expected from the two of you."
"Although we made up immediately, I still can't recommend furniture shopping to beginners at all, right, Kagamin~?"
"I'm never doing that again with you." Kagami's opinion on the topic was pretty clear. "Next time, we have to move to a different place where we need furniture, we're drawing lots to decide who's responsible for which room and then go shopping for it individually…" The couple had already thought about a plan for the next time.
"I will take those words to heart. Then again, sadly, I don't think Tsukasa-san, and I will be in the same situation that soon…"
"Yuki-chan…" Tsukasa was touched that she imagined a future where the two of them would also move together eventually.
"Ahem…" It was Konata's and Kagami's apartment, so they're the only ones who are allowed to openly flirt here.
"S-Sorry…"
"Just kidding~." Kagami actually just wanted to tease them.
"By the way, how about we set up the TV in the living room?" Konata noticed that the TV was more or less the only thing missing. "It could get rather boring in the evening without it…"
"That's true." Kagami agreed with her. "My laptop's also too small to let four people watch a movie one it. Maybe the smaller TV for the bedroom would be better, though. I don't think we'll be able to get the bigger one out of the carton without damaging it, and it's way too expensive to risk it…"
"That's a good point, Kagamin~. So…" Konata looked at Miyuki and Tsukasa with an expectant gaze. Those two were way better at setting things up after all.
"Even if you look at us like that, Kona-chan…"
"Yes. You and Kagami-san should do the TV on your own. If something goes wrong with that when the two of us do it…" Miyuki didn't want to be responsible for breaking the TV.
"Miyuki, you are aware that the furniture you carefreely assembled in record time until now was already several more times expensive than the TV, right? Well, I do understand what you mean, though…" Konata more or less could see her point. "Okay, Kagamin~ and will try to get the TV running."
Having agreed to it, the couple began unwrapping the smaller TV that was supposed for their bedroom to watch some movies on it with everyone in the evening. In the meanwhile, Miyuki and Tsukasa went to the Japanese room that was connected to the living room and continued their assembling spree there. The two knew by now that they were really good at it and because Konata and Kagami weren't going to of any help anyway, they had no problems with leaving the couple behind and not waiting for them.
Konata and Kagami had successfully unwrapped the TV and began assembling it. Surprisingly enough, it was going reasonably well. It seems like the couple was multiple times better at handling electronic things. Maybe the reason for that was because those things typically don't have many parts. For the TV, after unwrapping it, the two only had to attach the foot with two screws, and they were done already. They placed it on the lowboard and began setting it up afterward. Using the cable for the TV-reception that was already up and running, Konata started an automatic channel scan in the setting, and the TV soon returned a clear image.
Once the TV was successfully set up, the two went to the Japanese room as well to join up with the other girls, and, as usual, already, they were astonished by the view. One of the lowboards was assembled already, and Miyuki and Tsukasa were already in the middle of unwrapping the second one.
"Those two could really make a living as professional movers or something like an assembly service…"
"Absolutely…" The couple had nothing else to say.
"Nope, not interested." Tsukasa had heard them.
"I agree, that's not something I want to do." Miyuki, aspiring to be a doctor, also had other plans for the future.
"Hehe." The couple started chuckling because the two actually took it seriously.
"Well then, I guess the best would be to let them have the other lowboard as well, huh?"
"That's true, Kona. It's not like we could help them anyway." Kagami agreed with her. "Should we try our luck on the kotatsu instead? That should be easy enough, even for us…" She wasn't sugarcoating it all anymore.
"We basically only have to attach the legs to the table and installing the heating unit together with the blanket to make a kotatsu out of the table, right?"
"That should be more or less it." Feeling motivated, the couple began unwrapping the kotatsu parts. They actually made some progress and only 20 minutes after Miyuki and Tsukasa finished up the second lowboard, the kotatsu had been completed as well. From an outsider's point of view, that was an awfully long time to assemble a kotatsu, but for some reason, Miyuki and Tsukasa looked extremely proud of the couple. Not that the two liked this warm gaze very much, but there was nothing they could do or say in their defense.
"Okay, now that the kotatsu's finished, we just have to get in, right?" Konata was drawn in by the comfortableness and warmth that was radiating from the kotatsu.
"W-We should at least properly test it…" Kagami could also hardly resist the temptation. So the couple said, before quickly getting under the blanket. Having nothing to say against it, Miyuki and Tsukasa followed suit. They had a similar opinion about it after all.
"Haa~…" Not even a minute had passed until Konata's face melted on the table.
"Yeah~…" The other three girls looked exactly the same as her. Everyone was entirely defeated by the comfortableness of the death trap called kotatsu.
About half an hour passed and the group was in full relaxation-modus when Konata managed to say a couple words again.
"Okay, I think, well not really all of us, but you know what I mean… did enough for today… How about we take it easy for the rest of the day?" She and Kagami didn't do that much, but they tried their best at least.
"Yeah~…" Miyuki and Tsukasa were so comfortable that they couldn't even muster a full answer.
"But, before that…" Kagami wanted to say something as well. "It's already late afternoon, how about we get something to eat somewhere?" She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast after all.
"That's a good idea, Kagamin~. Ah, it's on us, you too, so you can get whatever you want." Treating Miyuki and Tsukasa was the least the couple could do.
"Oh, thank you very much, Kona-chan. What kind of places are around here to eat?"
"No idea."
"Yeah, absolutely none…" The couple knew about café's, supermarkets, and many other things, but restaurants weren't a part of it.
"I see… Ah, Yuki-chan, didn't we saw something restaurant like on the way here?"
"You mean the time when we got lost after leaving the station…?" Miyuki began thinking about their way to the apartment. "Ah… I wouldn't call it a restaurant, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea. If I remember right, it was a yakiniku place." [Grilled meat]
"Y-Yakiniku?!" Kagami didn't even try to hold back with her reaction. The mere thought of freshly grilled meat in large quantities let her gulp down her saliva in anticipation.
"Y-Yeah, sounds good…" Konata knew that look, a look where she has to be cautious not getting eaten instead, and not in a good way. "Do you two still know where it is?"
"Yes, while we got lucky finding it by accident, it really isn't that hard to find when you look for it." Miyuki remembered where it is.
"Good, let's go then~." Kagami was rather excited about it.
"Yeah…" The answer of everyone was weak because no one really wanted to leave the kotatsu.
….
A couple minutes passed and after a lot of complaining and whining, Kagami was finally to motivate the girls to get up. The group got dressed and left the apartment. They found the yakiniku place reasonably quickly, it was actually not far from the apartment and went inside. Luckily, they arrived at a good time where the place wasn't busy, and the girls didn't need to wait. Needless to say, everyone was really hungry after a day of hard work, and they totally overate themselves on the meat. Especially Kagami was almost unable to move for a while after finishing. To promote their digestion after a heavy meal, the girl decided to have a little walk around the vicinity. After Kagami was able to walk again, that is. While walking around, Miyuki and Tsukasa were attentively looking at everything around them.
"Yokohama surely is a nice city. Even though it's more or less right next to Tokyo, the feeling is somehow completely different." Miyuki lives in Tokyo herself, but this place had a unique charm to it.
"Maybe it's because we're closer to the sea here, at least compared to the place you're usually are in Tokyo, Miyuki." Kagami had an idea of why it felt different.
"Oh, that might be it. The air does taste a little saltier here, now that you mention it."
"I like it, though."
"Yes, it's indeed very nice."
"So unfair~!" Tsukasa became jealous again. "Such a nice city, an awesome apartment where can do what you want, and you have it all on your own…" It seemed like she would go on like that for a while.
"Miyuki, do something about her…" Kagami didn't want to deal with it again.
"W-Why me…?"
"Because it's the job of the girlfriend to deal with these kinds of situations." Konata also didn't want to be involved.
"I see… It seems like I still have much to learn." Miyuki hadn't noticed that the couple just merely didn't want to take care of it and thought about a plan to cheer the pouting Tsukasa up. Then, after it seemed like she had found something, Miyuki walked over to Tsukasa and whispered something into her ear. After that, Tsukasa immediately calmed down with a goofy grin while Miyuki looked somewhat flustered for some reason.
"Ehm… What just happened…?" Kagami had her problems with understanding the situation.
"Yeah… Somehow, I feel like it's better not to ask, though…" Konata also had no idea what was going on, but it seemed like another situation where they shouldn't be involved.
"True, it seems like it would be a major pain…"
Once the incident was dealt with, the group continued to walk around and also went grocery shopping in a nearby supermarket because the couple had as good as nothing edible in their apartment. The girls got some drinks, snacks for the evening, and a couple ingredients for breakfast the next morning.
…
Once the shopping was done, the four went back to Konata's and Kagami's apartment and began the preparations for a relaxing evening. They got the snacks and drinks ready before getting comfortable on the sofa. While Konata was zapping through the channels to find something interesting to watch, everyone else was already busy with relaxing and snacking sweets away. Once she found something everyone like, Konata followed suit and did the same. The couple had also gotten ready some blankets for extra comfortableness, and the group was having a nice time while enjoying a movie.
"It's so nice here… I'm really happy for you and Kona-chan, onee-chan." Before, Tsukasa was simply jealous, but now, she was genuinely happy for them. Whatever it was that Miyuki had whispered to her earlier, it was really effective.
"Yes, Tsukasa-san's right. You've made yourself a really nice home here. It must be nice to have a place on your own where you don't have to hold back in the slightest." There was a hint of enviousness in her voice, but Miyuki managed to hold back.
"Thanks, you and Tsukasa are always welcome here."
"I agree with Kagamin~, you two can come over whenever you want, and this apartment is a 'holding-back-forbidden' zone. No one is allowed to hold back here~." Konata had particular rules for their home.
"That's very nice. We might actually take up on this offer, tight, Tsukasa-san?"
"Yes, we're coming to visit very often, Kona-chan, and onee-chan." Because the two are still hiding their relationship, Miyuki and Tsukasa can't be as open as they want most of the time and a place where they can, is more than just welcome.
"Feel free to do so."
"Yay~."
The girls kept watching TV while feeling incredibly comfortable. The mood was really nice, and the two couples soon began cuddling with each other. That was usually the forte of Kagami and Konata, but Tsukasa and Miyuki had taken their offer to heart and were really into it. It seemed like the two were low on cuddle power because a lot had pent up lately. Having had almost no time for their own for a long while, but had a lot of catching up to do.
Kagami and Konata noticed their problem as well and decided to leave them some room.
"Haa… Somehow, I'm quite tired… What about you, Kona?" She let out a fake yawn.
"Yeah, it was a long day…" Konata understood her intention and played along. "Okay, Kagamin~ and I are going to our room. Miyuki, Tsukasa, you two can keep… watching TV, if you want."
"Ah, oh… okay, sure…" They were too busy with something else that the two needed a moment to react to the couple.
"Want us to help converting the sofa into a bed first?" Seeing the two all busy with each other, Kagami felt like they would probably forget that the sofa is capable of being a 2-in-1.
"Ah, yes, that would be a great help, thank you very much…" Judging by their reaction, it seemed like Kagami's guess wasn't that far off the mark.
Everyone helped, and the sofa was converted into a full-size bed with more than enough place for two people in no time. Miyuki and Tsukasa also got their pillows they brought with them. Once everything was done, Kagami and Konata left the two alone and continued their own cuddling session in their bedroom.
Miyuki and Tsukasa got comfortable and the bed now and continued where the two stopped earlier. The TV was still running in the background, but neither of them was paying any attention to it anymore. Being completely on their own now, the two weren't interested in the TV at all anymore after all. Instead, both were entirely focused on each other and words also weren't needed anymore. Their cuddling soon started to change into something more as they began lightly making out. It seems like both of them had already completely forgotten about Konata and Kagami in their desire for each other.
Tsukasa got even closer and then kissed Miyuki. She began with a kiss on her forehead because, thanks to their position of leaning against each other, it was the easiest place for her to reach. After that, she moved to her cheek and Miyuki started to react. She moved a bit as well and, to return the favor, she kissed Tsukasa on the forehead as well, but then directly went for her lips instead. Tsukasa immediately returned the kiss, and the two exchanged many more of them in the same way. The mood was incredibly heated up, and the two were in like a trance. Nothing except the person in front of the other was of importance. The kissing became more intense as their tongues that were rhythmically playing with each other became part of the party, but it still wasn't enough for Tsukasa. While continuing to kiss her, her hand moved beneath Miyuki's shirt and began her way up inside it.
"Mnng~." She shuddered once Tsukasa's hand made contact with her skin and let out a muffled moan because their lips were still connected when Tsukasa's hand had reached her destination. Said hand made contact with Miyuki's bra, and Tsukasa quickly realized that it actually was a front hook. Thanks to that, it was out of the way in a matter of seconds, and she had free reign of the insides of it.
"Mmmh~." Miyuki's reaction, together with the feel of her breast in her hand, made Tsukasa let out a moan as well because the last remaining part of her reason snapped as well. She pushed Miyuki down on the sofa while pulling up her shirt in the progress and her other hand went for Miyuki's still free breast.
"Ngnh." Being swept away by the situation, she let out another moan while she let do Tsukasa however she liked on top of her. After a while, Miyuki finally tried something as well and began copying her. Her left hand disappeared inside Tsukasa's shirt, but she wasn't having it quite as easy. Realizing that Tsukasa's bra had standard hooks at the back, Miyuki used her right arm and hand to fumble around on her back for a while until she finally found the hooks and unhooked her bra. Once Tsukasa's breasts were free as well, she used both her hands and began fondling her just like Tsukasa was doing with her for a while already.
"Ahn~." Tsukasa immediately showed a reaction and Miyuki's reason was gone as well.
She got rid of Tsukasa's shirt as well, and both were only wearing their pants right now. While continuing to fondle their breasts, the couple began kissing each other again, and their completely flushed faces were radiating a heat that could rival a fire, but the sight of precisely those flushed faces only motivated them more.
After a while, Miyuki let go of Tsukasa's lips and began kissing her neck while accidentally leaving behind some marks as she sucked too hard. Out of reflex, because she was surprised, and how good it felt, she accidentally, and unconsciously squeezed Miyuki's breasts.
"A-Annmg~." Hearing a moan from Miyuki that wasn't muffled by her lips for once, Tsukasa got even more turned on. Letting go one of her hands from Miyuki's breast, she began moving down to Miyuki's pants. She awkwardly and eagerly unbuttoned it with one hand, and when she was about to reach into Miyuki's panties, she suddenly stopped and froze up.
"U-Uhm…" Something wasn't right.
"W-What's wrong… Tsukasa… san…?" Full of anticipation for what should've happened, she asked about the problem in a roughened voice.
"Y-Yuki-chan…?" The situation already made her flustered enough, but it seemed like there was something that made her even more embarrassed.
"Ye… Yes…?"
"H-How do I… continue…?"
"E-Eh…?" Miyuki's movements stopped as well, and she let go of Tsukasa's breasts because this was just way too far outside of the range of questions she could deal with right now. "What… What do you mean, Tsukasa-san…?"
"I-I-I mean…" She was incredibly flustered. "We never got as far as today… Not even close actually… and everything up until now happened… on instinct, I guess…? I didn't even know what I was doing because it somehow happened unconsciously, but…" Tsukasa was so swept away by the mood that she was more or less operating on autopilot, but even that had its limits.
"I-I see…" Miyuki knew perfectly well what Tsukasa was talking about because her own memories of the last 30 minutes were somewhat hazy as well. "The next step should have been… The next step… I'm sorry, actually, I have no idea either…" She was operating on autopilot as well up until now. It being her first time and actually putting it into words made her mind go blank as well.
"Is that so…? What should we do now, Yuki-chan…?" The mood had died completely already.
"I don't know… It looks like we skipped a few steps today… I mean, up until now, we mostly settled with cuddling and light making out…"
"S-Should we stop then for today, Yuki-chan…?"
"I guess so…" Both of them sounded disappointed, but the situation was beyond recovering anyway already.
"Okay…"
"Y-Yes…" The mood started to get awkward between Miyuki and Tsukasa. "I-I'll try to look it up for the next time, Tsukasa-san…"
"G-Good…" Thanks to the bizarre situation, the two became even more embarrassed. "Maybe it's actually for the best… I mean, we're at Kona-chan's and onee-chan's place right now, and they're even nearby… We weren't exactly silent either…"
"A-Ah, you're right!" Miyuki had totally forgotten about the two. "D-Do you think they heard us?!" Being aware of it now, she began to panic.
"Well, the two said they were tired when both left earlier, right? They're probably already sleeping, don't you think, Yuki-chan?"
"Oh, yes, that's true… Thank goodness…"
"Should we go… to sleep as well, then…?"
"Yes… that would be for the… best…" There was no use continuing anymore, but it was clear that both of them were terribly frustrated about stopping right before the best part.
Miyuki and Tsukasa put on their shirts again and then individually went to the bathroom to change into their pajamas. Thanks to the awkward mood, the two were too embarrassed to change together at the moment. While they put on their pajamas, both of them also changed into a fresh pair of panties for various reasons. Their old panties were carefully hidden among other clothes so that no one could see them.
After the two were in the living room again, Miyuki and Tsukasa got comfortable on the sofa-bed and were ready to sleep.
"Well then… goodnight, Yuki-chan…"
"Yes, sleep well, Tsukasa-san…"
They exchanged a last kiss and then quickly fell asleep. That was the plan at least. Both of them were still turned on from earlier and the feeling of having things pent up was now stronger than ever, together with the extreme frustration both were feeling, it took quite a while before Miyuki and Tsukasa were actually able to fall asleep in the night.
The two already knew that things are going to be awkward between them tomorrow, but Konata and Kagami, on the other hand, didn't know that it's going to be even more awkward for them because they're going to get roped into their problems as well.
…
Who would've thought that Konata and Kagami are not only no good at choosing furniture, but also utterly incompetent at assembling them? Thankfully, Miyuki and Tsukasa were able to help them. Unfortunately, those two are completely incompetent at something as well, something entirely else, though.
I'm also incompetent with writing sex-scenes so I skipped the nights of Konata and Kagami and poor Miyuki and Tsukasa's night turned into a tease. I'm somehow still uncomfortable writing those scenes in detail. It just sounds so awkward when I try to write them in English and so I just don't do them…
Next chapter is going to be really fun for Kagami and Konata, even though their opinion is vastly different on the topic. The next chapter will come out in… March, that much I can say. It's mostly done (80%), but I'm fairly busy lately so I don't know when it's ready.
