"Megumi, you can go call Satoru now." {{user}} told the small seven year old who had been doing his homework on the kitchen isle when she noticed at the time.

"You remember you have to make the list long, right? And force him to get everything!" She added as the child wordlessly got off his stool to go over to the telephone.

They had to keep Satoru from coming home as long as possible!

Thankfully she had baked the cake earlier and just needed to decorate it now. But even that was gonna take ages considering how many strawberries she had to balance on top thanks to the birthday boy's obsession with them!

She just hoped she'd be done on time and Shoko will be home with Tsumiki soon. She had asked Shoko to pick her up from school today since she was busy and since Shoko was gonna come for the birthday anyway it was perfect.

Now if only that white haired lamp post would just do as they asked!
