Mafuyu's Mother
Is that so?
That's my Mafuyu.
That's my Mafuyu.
そう、さすがまふゆね
Mafuyu's Mother
But it's getting late. I'd say it would be better to finish at the end of the day and get some rest.
でも、もう遅いからキリのいいところで終わらせて、 休んだほうがいいんじゃないかしら
Mafuyu's Mother
That way, you can get up early and work on whatever you weren't able to finish tonight.
Here, have some hot milk.

Mafuyu's Mother
Hehe, well it seems that today has been a walk in the park for you, hasn't it?
Goodnight, sweet dreams.

まふゆ、おかえりなさい。 テストは返ってきた？
Mafuyu

Mafuyu
...No, it doesn't look like it. The teacher seems to be busy, so there might've been a delay in the grading process.
——ううん、まだみたい。 先生が忙しいみたいで、採点が遅れてるんだって

Goodness... I suppose it's hard being a teacher.
I hope you get the results soon.

（伝えなきゃ、いけないけど……）
Mafuyu
(...If she found out I was failing now, what would she say?)
（今、成績が落ちたって知られたら、 何を言われるかわからない）
Mafuyu
(Would she end up just, saying something?)
（……何か言われるだけで、すむの、かな……）
Mafuyu
(...Right, I have another mock exam soon.)
（——もうすぐ次の模試がある）
Mafuyu

（そこで取り返して、一緒に渡せば…… まだ、大丈夫かも……）
Mafuyu
...If I'm even able... to improve at all next time...
……次、取り返せれば……
