*Nod*

The bridge transitions into the last chorus seamlessly now...

I might actually be able to finish this demo before Mafuyu comes back from school.

Just a little bit more to—

Oh...

(I didn't have lunch today...)

(I should eat something...

But I also want to finish what I'm doing...)

Wait, I know...

(Those chocolate the others gave me for Valentine's Day should be... Ah, here they are.)

Mmm... They're so good...

(How many people did I receive chocolates from in the end?)

(There's Ena, Mizuki...and Ms. Mochizuki... I really need to thank them again.)

Oh, wait a second...

White Day is coming up...

I should do something to give back to all of them. So, Ena, Mizuki, Ms. Mochizuki and...

Actually...

This is a good opportunity for me to give back to everyone who always supports me...

Which includes Miku and the others... And Hoshino...

Okay, I think that's everyone.

Actually, hold on...

What am I supposed to give them exactly?

That was delicious.

Yes, it was.

You can stay seated. I'll wash the dishes.

Okay, thank you...

Wait, Mafuyu, are you leaving for school already? I was hoping to ask you a quick question...

A quick question?

I'd like to give back to everyone who's been supporting me on White Day, but I'm not sure what to get them.

Which is why I was wondering if you already know what you're going to give people.

My plan is to buy some snacks or sweets at a store. Most places are holding White Day fairs around this time.

I see... Do you have a particular store in mind?

Not yet...

Probably some place that people are talking about, or one that simply catches my attention.

I see...

Thank you. That helps a lot.

You're welcome.

(I guess it's normal for people to give each other storebought gifts...)

(It'd be nice to make something again. I really liked those scented candles I made with Ms. Mochizuki and the others...)

(But I doubt I'll be able to make anything all on my own... And it would probably be hard to get together as a group again.)

(Which means buying something may be my best option.)

(But I want to give everyone something they'd actually want. Something that'd make them happy...)

Alright, I'll try asking them what they want.

<Alright, I'm gonna log off now since this seems like a good place to stop!>

<Me too. My sketch is done, so I'm gonna go to bed.>

<Thank you both for your hard work.>

<Oh, wait... Can I ask you two something before you go?>

<Huh? What's up?>

<I'm thinking about getting everyone something for White Day. What would you two like to have?>

<I dunno. There's so much...!>

<Hmm... Cheesecake is my go-to...

But if it's you getting me something, K, then... Hmm...>

<Oh, you could get me one of Kinsendo's limited-edition chocolate cakes♪>

<Uhh... A limited-edition chocolate cake from Kinsendo... Got it.>

<Wait a second!

They only make ten of those each year, Amia! How do you expect her to get her hands on one?!>

<Oh, is that true...?>

<Haha. Sorry!

I thought I'd just try floating it out there.>

<To be honest, K, I'll be happy with whatever you give me.>

<Me too. Choose whatever you feel is right.>

<Okay, I'll do that... Thank you both.>

<How about you, Yuki?>

<I'm also okay with whatever.>

<O-Okay... Thank you.>

...

(They're all okay with whatever I get...?)

(So, what do I get them...?)

<Anyway, I'm logging off. See you all later!>

<Me too. Don't work too hard, K, Yuki.>

<Oh... Okay.>

<Good night.>

I'll go pour us some tea.

Okay, thank you.

(I'll need to think about this some more...)

A message? Who's sending me one at this hour...?

Huh? Hoshino?
