The interfacing seems to be adhering nicely, so we shouldn't need to worry about the threads fraying.

Shizuku

That concludes my final checks.

Very nice work, everyone!

Character icon
Mizuki

Yay, we're done!

Character icon
Mafuyu

I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment after seeing how many gifts we made.

5
Character icon
Haruka

I feel the same way.

I'm really looking forward to handing these out to everyone tomorrow.

6
Character icon
Shizuku

I'm sure they're going to love these, since you all worked so hard on them.

This is incredible, Airi!

I didn't realize you knew how to make mousse cakes.

8
Character icon
Rin

And it's in the shape of a really cute heart!

9
Character icon
Airi

Just wait until you taste it.

Also, I went with a low-calorie recipe, so feel free to have as much as you like.

10
Character icon
Luka

And you brought spoons with chocolates on top of them, Minori.

11
Character icon
Minori

Yup! They're called chocolate spoons, and all you have to do is pour melted chocolate onto the bowls. It's really easy.

12
Character icon
Len

And they're all decorated differently.

Did you choose the dragées for these based on our colors?

13
Character icon
Miku

I think that also goes for the other toppings. Between the hearts and flowers, it's really easy to tell which spoon belongs to whom♪

14
Character icon
Minori

Hehe... I did my best to make sure you guys like how they all look!

15
Character icon
Haruka

I see...

Thank you for putting so much thought into these, Minori.

16
Character icon
Shizuku

Okay, would it alright if we showed you all our gifts next?

17
Character icon
KAITO

Our gifts? Did you make them together?

18
Character icon
Haruka

Yes. Shizuku taught me how to make mine, so they probably won't look as good as hers... But I hope you guys like them.

19
Character icon
Haruka

So, Minori, I'll start with yours...

This is for you.

20
Character icon
Minori

Oh...

21
Character icon
Minori

Ohmygosh!

Th-This pouch is for me?!

But it's so beautiful!

22
Character icon
Miku

Wow, these flowers are so pretty!

Did you embroider them yourself, Haruka?

23
Character icon
Haruka

Yeah, because Minori's smile has a way of making others around her feel better. Like flowers that suddenly start blooming.

24
Character icon
Haruka

So, I decided to embroider a whole flower field inspired by her.

25
Character icon
Minori

W-Wow...!

26
Character icon
Luka

It's like a field of flowers just popped up around Minori.

27
Character icon
Airi

Yeah, talk about a flowery smile.

28
Character icon
Minori

*Sob*

Thank you so much, Haruka...! I promise to treasure this pouch and what you just said forever and ever!

29
Character icon
Haruka

*Nod*

I'm glad to hear that you like it so much.

30
Character icon
Shizuku

Next, Airi, I'd like to present you my gift.

31
Character icon
Airi

O-Okay...

I'm starting to feel kinda nervous, after all that.

32
Character icon
Shizuku

Here you are.

Happy Valentine's Day, Airi♪

33
Character icon
Airi

Is this a keychain...?

Oh, it's an embroidered sun.

34
Character icon
Rin

Wow, it's so pretty! Look at all the shiny beads and threads!

35
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe. You're always shining so brightly and illuminating us.

36
Character icon
Shizuku

So, I thought it was just perfect for you!

37
Character icon
Airi

Shizuku...

38
Character icon
MEIKO

Hehe. Your eyes are shining brightly too, Airi.

39
Character icon
Airi

H-Hey, cut me some slack.

Anyone would feel this way after receiving something like this...!

40
Character icon
Airi

Thanks, Shizuku...

I promise to make good use of this.

41
Character icon
Shizuku

You're welcome...!

42
Character icon
Haruka

Next, Len, would you mind?

43
Character icon
Len

No problem. I'll be the one presenting what we got for you and the others, Miku.

44
Character icon
Rin

Wait, Len, why you?

45
Character icon
Len

Because I helped them come up with embroidery designs for their gifts.

46
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes, he provided us with some wonderful ideas after thinking very hard about all of you.

47
Character icon
Miku

I had no idea...!

Now I can't wait to see what you made.

48
Character icon
Rin

Show us already, Len♪

49
Character icon
Len

Then, Rin, I'll start with you.

50
Character icon
Len

Here you are.

Happy Valentine's Day, Rin!

51
Character icon
Rin

Thanks!

Wow, this towel feels so fluffy and absorbent!

52
Character icon
Rin

It's embroidered with... My face, and some yellow flowers?

53
Character icon
Haruka

They're canola flowers.

Shizuku did your face, and I did the flowers.

54
Character icon
Len

Apparently, these flowers symbolize cheerful energy.

55
Character icon
Len

It's supposed to be you making all your fans smile while putting on a fun and happy performance.

56
Character icon
Rin

Thanks, Len...!

And you both, Shizuku, Haruka...!

57
Character icon
Rin

I'm gonna use this towel to practice and put on shows that send everyone home smiling!

58
Character icon
MEIKO

So, what kind of design did you come up for me?

59
Character icon
Len

Okay, MEIKO, for you...

60
Character icon
Haruka

I also made pouches for you two, Airi, Shizuku. I hope you both like them.

61
Character icon
Shizuku

I also made keychains for you both. I'll hand them out now.

62
Character icon
Minori

Wow, thanks so much...!

63
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe...

64
Character icon
Shizuku

(I'm so glad that everyone's enjoying their gifts.)

65
Character icon
Shizuku

(We put so much thought and effort into our gifts, and we get to see them all smile now...)

66
Character icon
Shizuku

(I couldn't be happier...)

67
Character icon
Shizuku

(This is the power of embroidery...

It has the ability to make these sorts of connections with others.)

68
Character icon
Shizuku

(I hope things are going well on Asahina's end...)
