"We're home~"

Yoite called out from the front door. Noa had followed him home since there was nothing else to do after their meal.

"I understand it's courteous to say you're home but please try to be a bit quieter. I'm almost certain everyone in the dorm is asleep by now."

Yoite rubbed his head a bit, laughing quietly.

"Guess so, huh? Sorry, Noa-chan."

Noa shook her head.

"You didn't appear to cause any stir, so I think you're fine. In any case, thank you Arakaki."

Yoite tilted his head.

"Mm?"

"You did a lot to help me with my victim memorial. So, thank you very much."

Noa bowed politely. Yoite shook his head.

"All I did was tell you all I knew about Megumi."

Noa smiled a bit.

"Well, it's better than what I already had and I'm sure Megumi Harada would be very happy to know that you're still keeping her memory close."

"Yeah... In any case, it's late, Noa-chan."

Noa sighed.

"A bit too late if you ask me. I need to get up early tomorrow. Still, thank you very much, Arakaki... and..."

Yoite looked over at Noa as she pouted.

"This weekend... I... I wouldn't mind going back to the ramen house to talk... About my burdens that is..."

Yoite smiled and ruffled Noa's hair.

"I'm looking forward to it~ Come on, let's get some sleep. We've stayed up for long enough as it is."

Noa nodded, walking straight to her room. She saw Yoite wave goodbye and she shyly waved back before heading into her bed to get some shut eye.
