Kazunari	*sigh*, I'm so tired~. Think I'm gonna call it a day soon.
	Up we g——Ahh!
	Noooo! There's paint all over Tonapon...!
	If I try washing this stuff off, I wonder if it's gonna come off~.
???	*sniffle*... *sniffle*.
Kazunari	Huh?
Muku	*sob*, *sob*...
Kazunari	(Mukkun is crying. I wonder what happened?)
	"Mukkun, evenings~"
Muku	Kazu-kun?
Kazunari	"I'm Tonapon!"
Muku	Tonapon... Hehe, will you listen to me for a bit?
Kazunari	"Of course! How come you're crying?"
Muku	I was reading this manga called "Our Faraway Summer Love"...
	When I saw the protagonist's pained expression during the scene where they go to the wedding ceremony of the person they had feelings for, I got so sad...
	I know that after this, they'll meet a wonderful prince and live together with him happily, but no matter how many times I read this manga, I always feel so sad.
Kazunari	"Hmhm, that sounds like a pretty sad story~"
	"But you were crying because you read that manga, huh~ Thank goodness! I thought something might have happened to you!"
Muku	I'm sorry for surprising you like that. Thank you for worrying about me.
Kazunari	Ahaha, I'm happy to see you smiling!
Muku	Thanks to the energetic Tonapon, I feel a lot better. So Tonapon is this kind of character, huh!
Kazunari	I impulsively made him talk like that, but if he's really like that, then it'd be p interesting~.
Muku	I'd love to see a picture book you made about Tonapon, Kazu-kun.
Kazunari	Ah! That's a good idea! Maybe I'll give it a shot~.
Muku	If you do, please let me read it!
Kazunari	Gotcha! I'll let ya be the first to see it.
Muku	... Huh, Kazu-kun, did you know Tonapon is dirty?
Kazunari	I totes forgot! Truth is, just now——.
Azuma	Kazu, there you are. I was wondering if you'd want to play mahjong together.
Kazunari	Azu, super sorry! I gotta give Tonapon a bath, so I can't RN~.
Azuma	If that's the case, then I'll ask someone else.
	Hehe, they say that if you pour too much love into a stuffed animal, they'll gain a soul, so be careful.
Kazunari	Wha-, if Tonapon was able to move around, that'd be totes cute, tho?! If I uploaded that onto Inste, I'd get a 1000 likes! Defs!
Azuma	That sounds like it'd be fun.
Kazunari	Alrighty, I'm gonna head over to the baths soon~.
Muku	See you later!
Kazunari	Thank goodness the paint came off nicely~.
	Now I'll be able to sleep well. Night, Tonapon.
