Let's see... Oh, this looks like the tea shop we saw online.

They have so many different types...

We should be able to find exactly what everyone needs.

Yes, this is actually really exciting!

Still... I couldn't believe it when it turned out that we'd come up with the same idea.

Me neither. Wanting to help everyone relax after working so hard is one thing, but the odds of us both deciding to buy them tea seem astronomical.

Why did you decide to get tea, Kanade?

The tea Ms. Mochizuki always buys really helps calm my nerves whenever I drink it.

So, I thought that tea could help do the same for everyone.

Yes, I see...

Then, let's do our best to find some tea that everyone is going to love!

Huh?

Kanade! Ichika!

Oh, hey!

What a pleasant surprise!

Huh...? Hanasato? Momoi?

Wait a second...

Are you two here to shop for that segment?

That's right. Are you two here because you decided on what gifts to get?

Yes, we both gave it a lot of thought and...

...and so, we decided to buy everyone tea.

Really...?!

Yeah, that does sound nice and relaxing!

Interesting...

Is something the matter, Airi?

You two made a great choice! But...

If you're gonna get them tea, then why not take it one step further by actually serving it to them?

Serving them tea...?

Yeah! We'll call it Operation: White Day Tea Party!

O-Operation: White Day Tea Party...?!

Wait, what do you mean?

You want to give everyone a chance to relax, right, Yoisaki?

So, instead of just giving them the tea...

Why not throw them a tea party where they can have both a fun and relaxing time?

Oh...

I agree! It'd be so much fun to have a tea party together when it's nice out!

Yeah, that does sound fun...

And they'd probably really enjoy it...

Especially Honami.

I agree...

Mizuki and the others as well.

(Actually, what about Mafuyu...?)

What do you say?

We'd be more than happy to help you two with this.

Yeah, I'll help as much as you need!

Oh... B-But... I'm not sure how I'll do...

...

Let's give it a try, Kanade.

What...?

I'm also a little worried...

But I want to give it a try.

Because I can't think of anything that would make me happier than seeing them all smile at this tea party.

Oh...

You want them to feel relaxed, and I want them to see them smile...

And I think this tea party will allow us to accomplish both.

Yes, you're right...

I really like this idea.

Then, let's do it!

We have a lot to prepare...

But let's start by picking a nice location!

Where can we have a tea party with everyone...?

There are going to be a lot of people, we'd need so somewhere with enough space for all of us.

Someone's home might be too small...

So, I guess we'd need to rent a big room or hold it outside...?

Outside...?

Oh, then... How about that place?

I'm back.

Okay, napkins, garbage bags, plates... I think that's everything we need.

What are you doing?

Oh, Mafuyu, welcome back.

I'm getting everything ready for White Day.

We're throwing a tea party.

Our plan is to give everyone a chance to relax since they're always working so hard.

I see.

*Nod*

So, Mafuyu, would you like to join us...?

Me?

I...think I'm okay. I don't know if it counts as feeling relaxed, but I feel at ease here.

Okay, I understand.

But I actually got some tea just for you, Mafuyu. So, if you decide to change your mind, it'd be nice to see you there.

...

Oh, but you don't have to force yourself to go. We can always have your tea here.

Where are you having this tea party?

Umm... Nonogi Park.

...

I'll think about it.

Okay, thank you.
