-Takes place a month or so after the birth

"Wow, you two look dead."

Yukari sighed. Maki didn't so much as twitch. They were seated in the art room awaiting the club meeting. They'd come in early with the idea to get everything prepared before the others arrived, but once they had sat down, it became impossible to move.

"Rough weekend?"

They groaned, and Yukari looked up at the art club member with a tired smile. "...Minami was really cranky last night. We hardly got any sleep. How can babies cry so much?"

"Objectively, it's amazing how her screaming pierced the walls as easily as it did. Is this some sort of special attack all babies are born with? How devastating." Maki yawned and dropped her head on her arms.

"Err. That's not inaccurate, exactly. But at least you only have to deal with it on the weekends."

Maki shot up, suddenly energetic. "Isn't' it terrible?!" she asked loudly. "Two days! I only get two days to spend with my dear sister! Summer break is taking too long to get here. How will she know me if she only sees me on the weekend?!"

"...Uh. So it's bad now?"

Yukari rolled her eyes and waved over the club members who had stopped at the entryway because of the outburst. "She won't forget you, senpai, now please start the meeting."

"Are you going to be visiting Maki-san's house all summer, Someya? You go every weekend now."

"Of course she is," Maki immediately answered for her, offended at the idea of Yukari doing anything but. "Minami-chan needs to know her other sister."

"Oh."

"I see."

"Of course."

Pointedly ignoring some of the more suggestive snickers, the earth sword glared at the bolder students and firmly ordered Maki to start the meeting. Her partner wasn't wrong, after all. There was no question that she would visit the Kamijou family often this summer. Little Minami-chan was adorable after all.

Speaking of, her phone chimed, and she pulled it out to see a message loading. Maki leaned over just as it finished, and a picture of Minami with a dog ears headband and a K-9 stuffed animal at her side popped up.

"Aaaaw. Tomomi-san is visiting again, huh?"

The other girls crowded around, grabbing her phone away so they could get a closer look.

"My mom spends more time at your house than I do."

Maki grinned. "And my mother is very grateful for the help and company."

"Wow, even your parents are close? That's amazing."

"Whatever, just give me my phone back."

"Hey look, here's a good picture of you two!"

"Stop going through my pictures!"
