After her only guardian passes away, a childish 20 year old woman named Momoko moves to Tokyo city to start learning how to live independently. While Momoko adapts to adult life in the city and struggles with living expenses, she dreams about start...
"🤒Long story short, we've both been throwing up since last night. I'm stuck at home with this thing and Ren is running the restaurant so Yuji's by himself in his apartment. I doubt he can take care of himself and there's so much to do in the house. Momo, I know you're probably busy today, but I really need your help. Can you—-"
"🤩SAY NO MORE!"
I set down a flower pot and Natsuo glares in my direction. I stick my tongue out at him and start to undo the ties on my apron and run around the shop to start gathering my things.
"I'm gonna be the best nurse maid ever! I'm coming over to your house to borrow a uniform!"
"Momo, you don't need a uniform! Stop being — *cough cough* extra!"
"Don't you know me by now, Harumi?!"
"Ugh, I'll be waiting for you at my house, then."
"I'll be there in a few!"
"I didn't say you could leave, Momoko!" Natsuo peers at me from over his thick rimmed glasses and I simply giggle in response. He sort of used to intimidate me, but after a very short time I started to get more comfortable around him and with his personality. He was more of a tsundere, really. He was actually really sweet when you got to know him!
"Don't forget I don't work for you anymore~!"
I'd paid off the fee of what I'd broken a long time ago, but I still showed up to volunteer every once in awhile. He didn't believe he needed so much help that he should hire employees, but I could tell he got stressed easily from daily tasks. Besides, the two of us had become really great friends in the short time we'd known each other! I felt like we'd become strangers if I didn't drop by regularly.
I kissed Natsuo on his cheek, to which he responded with a "hmph," but a very obvious blush bloomed where I'd kissed him. He got flustered pretty easily with close contact, too. I often toyed with him to get a reaction. It never grew to anything beyond a friendship boundary, though! I knew my limits! I had a boyfriend now, after all!

When I arrived at Harumi's house, I knocked and heard a response that sounded like it came from a cross between a wailing deer and a goose. She sounded crappier than she did on the phone!
"It's open..."
"Damn, Harumi, you sound terrible!" I twisted the doorknob and mumbled a small "pardon the intrusion" before slipping out of my shoes and heading over to where she was lying down in front of the kotatsu. Her cheeks were noticeably red and she was snoring pretty loudly. I knew for sure neither of her parents were home because they'd probably be disturbed by the noise and tell her to go back in her room!
"Are you kidding me?!" I walked over to her and placed my hands on my hips when I saw what she'd been doing before she'd fallen asleep. Homework! She obviously wasn't well enough to do it!
"Harumi! Wake up! Where's the uniform, and why aren't you in bed?" I poke her cheek and she cracks open an eye.
