...is probably the best way I know to get a bass drum to sound more punchy.

I see. I didn't know that was possible...

*Nod*

It's common for bass drums to create a lot of unwanted noise, but an equalizer can help you get the sound you want by filtering all that out.

Oh, you should try reading this book if you have time. It discusses this topic in much further detail.

Oh, thank you so much!

If you're sure, then I'll borrow this for a little while.

Where do I begin to thank you...

You've given me such a thorough explanation after I asked you to meet me on such short notice.

No, I'm just glad that I could help you...

So, have you gotten used to composing on a computer?

Hmm, there's still so much I don't know. I actually stayed up really late last night working on a song...

But my hope is that I'll soon be able to produce songs the way I imagine them as easily as you do, Kanade.

And I'm sure you will.

Please feel free to contact me again.

I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

Thank you!

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was this hungry...

Then, why don't we get a quick bite to eat?

Yes, please!

Alright, what's on the menu... Hm?

“Only available on White Day”...?

Gratin with white sauce, roasted marshmallow cakes, tarts topped with towers of whipped cream... They have quite a lot on here.

They do...

...

Is something wrong, Hoshino...?

Oh, um...

This menu made me think about White Day is all..

Huh?

The thing is, I haven't been able to decide what I'm going to get everyone for White Day.

You too?

Huh? Does that mean...?

Yes...

I've also been having the same problem.

Really? You too?

Yes. I still haven't been able to decide either...

It's so hard. Especially after hearing all my friends say that they'll be happy with whatever I get them.

Oh, actually... I was told the same thing.

Hehe. We're in the same boat.

We are...

At the same time, I'd probably answer the same way as everyone if I were asked what I wanted.

But that's the strange part...

It's always so hard to decide what to get when you're the one doing the giving.

True...

We couldn't help but overhear your conversation!

Huh...?

Minori...! Oh, Momoi's with you...!

How long have you two been here?

We apologize for eavesdropping.

But your conversation caught our attention while we were discussing an idea for a stream.

Oh, I see...

I wish we'd noticed sooner.

That's okay because...we might be able to help with your problem!

What?

You're both wondering about what to give everyone for White Day, right?

We actually got a question about that during one of our streams and were just in the middle of planning a special segment in response!

We're calling it...

The White Day Gift Showcase Special!

Sh-Showcase...?

Does that mean you're going to recommend gifts for White Day?

That's right, Kanade!

Someone by the name of OneMillionFriends sent us the question I just mentioned, and they're having trouble deciding what to get everyone for White Day.

One million friends...?

It's probably just their handle, but I'm guessing they do have a lot of friends to worry about.

I see...

So, what did they ask specifically?

What was it now...?

“Dear Minori,

I'm a huge fan of you and MORE MORE JUMP! I'm having trouble deciding what to get all my friends for White Day.”

“Despite my limited budget, I want to get everyone something really nice. What would you all do in this kind of situation?”

...is what they wrote!

Wait, you memorized the whole thing...?

Hehe. They did say that they're a huge fan of mine.

So, we're turning this person's idea into an entire segment about affordable White Day gifts!

Oh, that's just what we need...

I guess we're not alone.

Hehe. Now do you see?

We were just about to browse around a few shops to see what's out there...

So, why don't you two join us?

Oh, are you sure?

Of course!

We've been looking up what kinds of snacks and sweets everyone's buying, so we can all go look at those in person today.

And it would also be great to get an outsider's perspective.

Right!

Just browsing, no cameras! So you should both come with us!

Thank you, Hanasato and... Um...

I'm Airi Momoi.

It's nice to meet you, Yoisaki!

*Nod*

Nice to meet you too.
