"Ah~choo~"
Walking beside Dongfang Yi, Sakura Airi lightly covered her lips, unable to stop yawning.
It was clear that she had expended a great deal of energy over the past week. Now she seemed like a flower deprived of water, all droopy and wilted.
"D-Dongfang... where are we going next? Ah~choo."
"We're going to the supermarket to buy some ribs, chicken thighs, shrimp, and fish, plus some vegetables and juice... Oh, and seasonings. Then we'll head to my room. How does that sound?"
Dongfang Yi carried the five borrowed books with ease, slowing his pace to match hers as much as possible.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to rouse herself as she asked.
"Sakura, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat first?"
Dongfang Yi set the ingredients he'd bought on the table.

She moved sluggishly, like a sloth conserving its energy.

"Then go rest for a while. Get up when you're hungry. Oh, and drink some water before you lie down."
Dongfang Yi smiled helplessly and pointed to the bedding on one side of the room, suggesting she lie down
