Karasuno's Managers: Little Ukai and The Vulnerable

23: Let's Get a Pet Octopus

Day 10

It was a Sunday afternoon and Emiko had the house to herself. Mr. and Mrs. Suna had left to visit their daughter for a few hours. She was going to be performing in the national Skating Tournament tomorrow evening as one of the few finalists. Suna chose to leave shortly after his parents to hang out with his friends.

She had no plans for herself. Her friends back at Karasuno were no doubt practicing for nationals with the strict training regiment her Uncle Keishin had put them on. A text from earlier revealed that Mirae would be touring Tokyo city.

Emiko's eyes widened at the realization that Mirae might be going to buy thank you gifts to give to her coach at Itachiyama and the thought of something like that hadn't even crossed her mind.

So, she pulled her hair into a tight bun and yanked her sleeves up. There were two days left before she returned home and the least she could do was prepare a dinner for the Suna family.

She opened the fridge door and frowned.

There was plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, but she needed to cook a dish worthy of thanks for the hospitality she experienced (minus the events at school).

Emiko pulled out her phone for a quick google search just as a text message came in.
