Urashima slightly reminisced, and a very cheerful girl came to mind.
Every time she appeared, she would laugh heartily.
Occasionally, she would pat his shoulder and then hand him her water bottle.
Compared to Ashi, Kiko often came by.
They were quite familiar with each other.
They even had dinner together twice.
"Of course, I remember."
"Didn't we make plans for pancakes before?"
"She personally made pancakes for me."
Urashima answered like this.
"Hmm."
"At that time, she was laughing very happily."
"The pancakes were delicious too."
Yukiko smiled and nodded, seemingly reminiscing about that moment.
"What about her?"
Urashima continued to ask.
"She's doing well."
Yukiko responded.
This made Urashima a bit embarrassed.
While running, he scratched his head.
"I thought something had happened to Kiko."
Urashima became even more embarrassed.
With the recent incident involving Ashi, he thought something had happened to Kiko too.
Turns out, he was overthinking.
