Doing Well
Scalding Sands - Camel Bazaar
Najma
Hey. It’s been a while since we last walked around Camel Bazaar together like this, hasn’t it?
Jamil
Yeah, that’s because I haven’t been here ever since I entered Night Raven College.
Najma
We used to come here as a trio before then, right!
There was me, Jamil, and your middle school friend…
*CLATTER!! RATTLE!!*
Jamil
Wh-What’s happening?!
Grim
Fnaaaagh!!! It fell again!
Jamil
It was Grim playing with the toys at the counter…? Always causing trouble, aren’t you…
Grim
Yanno, I can’t get these animal figures to stack well no matter how I try for this toy stacking game!
Jamil
This is a game that has existed in this country since a long time ago. You need to concentrate to keep them in balance.
Grim
Right! Yuu, buy this!
Grim
I’ll get you to do the stacking, and then I can sit back and watch while eating some snacks!
Cater
What kind of entertainment is that?
Trey
Does Grim derive fun from that arrangement?
Najma
We used to play this balancing game together when we were kids too!
The one who makes the highest stack wins. And Jamil was the best among the kids in the neighbourhood.
He’d stack them one after another so quickly while none of them fell, so we used to suspect him of attaching magnets to them.
Jamil
All I did was figure out where in the stack and which figure would allow it to maintain its balance after it’s added based on the stack’s condition.
What was difficult, though, was what happened after you’d sulk from your loss and disappear while the toys were still scattered about.
I was always the one who had to clean it all up. While Mom and Dad scolded me, by the way.
Najma
Ehhhh, was that what happened?
But y’know, even with all that grumbling, you still look after me ever so often, so…
Seems like I also ended up relying on you after all. Thanks.
Jamil
Hmph! What a smooth talker.
Jamil
Najma, how’s school been for you?
Najma
Goes without saying that I’m doing well. My performance in both my studies and sports have been stellar, y’know.
Because ultimately, I’m your little sister after all.
Jamil
If that’s the case, then good. Keep it up from here on as well.
Najma
That aside, I’m worried about whether you’ve been able to lead a proper school life, you know.
Jamil
Me?
Najma
Although you look okay to a disgusting extent on the surface, and seem to be able to properly conduct yourself on the regular…
You’re serious about the weird stuff, and can be unusually stubborn too.
I was worried that you might be pushing yourself too far. Don’t overthink too much, okay, big bro?
Jamil
……
Of course I’m doing well. Don’t worry.
After all, I’m your older brother, remember?
Najma
Kay kay~ If so, then I’m relieved.
…Ah! It’s this late already?
This is where I’ll take my leave, then.
Cater
Ehhhh, why not take this chance of a lifetime to spend time sightseeing with us? I also wanna know more about the photogenic spots around!
Najma
Ahaha, thank you for the offer!
But my friends have just contacted me, so we’ll be meeting up right now.
We couldn’t hang out this afternoon since I was here, so we gotta watch the fireworks together later tonight.
Jamil
Don’t get carried away, okay.
Najma
Gosshhh! Don’t nag at me like Mom and Dad!
Jamil
…Well, I guess you’re not wrong.
Najma
…Ah, you’re coming home today, right?
Jamil
Of course I am. I’ll come back after I escort everyone to Kalim’s house when the festival ends.
I’ll be going back to school tomorrow, though.
Najma
Then, I’ll prepare curry and wait for you! Don’t eat too much street food, okay?
Also, do enjoy the Yasmina River Fireworks Festival later, everyone!
Please drop by our house next time to play too. See you!
Grim
Bye~!
Jamil
Now everyone, where shall we go next?
Trey
…Hmm? Where’s Malleus?
Jamil
…NOT HERE!!
Cater
HUUUH?! You mean Malleus lost his way?!
Trey
If Malleus gets caught up in an incident or something, it might end up turning into a diplomatic issue between the Scalding Sands and Briar Valley!
Jamil
……
Don’t worry, Yuu. Leave this to me.
