Heya!
I came to hang out, MEIKO!
Oh, Len, welcome.
You're here later than usual.
Huh? What do you mean...? Oh no!
The gang's all here!
Come sit with us, Len!
Wait, what's going on?
Is something happening today?
MEIKO and Rin called us in when we were passing by the cafe just now to try these new menu items.
Hehe♪ That's what's up!
New menu items?
Oh, these pink drinks...?!
And this looks like a dessert...
Those are cherry blossom lattes and smoothies. KAITO's having some pancakes topped with cherry blossom ice cream.
Wow, that looks delicious...!
I wanna try some too! Um... I'll have what Luka's having!
A cherry blossom latte?
Coming right up.
Thanks!
But no one told me that you'd come up with some new menu items, MEIKO...
Of course not. I just started making these the other day.
I drew some inspiration from one of the photos Kohane showed me.
Really?
What kind of photo was it?
A budding cherry blossom.
The way it was just starting to turn pink was so beautiful that I felt compelled to make some drink based on that.
Whoa! You can come up with new menu items just like that?! Way to go, MEIKO!
Thank you. But I don't deserve all the credit. Rin helped out as well.
Huh? Rin?
Yeah! I came up with a bunch of ideas for her, like how they should look and stuff! Outside of that... I was sort of the taste tester.
I see.
Not only do these look nice, but they're pink in a spring-like way.
Yes, exactly!
They're aesthetically pleasing and delicious!
It's hard not to get excited about spring♪ Thank you both for making these, MEIKO, Rin!
Hehe. We did it, MEIKO! High five!
Hehe. Thank you for helping me with these, Rin.
That's good to hear...
Hello, MEIKO!
We came to visit.
Oh, you're all together. Welcome.
Great timing, you guys!
We have special spring menu items ready for you today, so give these a try♪
Whoa, those look adorable! What are they? Can I get one of those pink drinks too, MEIKO?!
Yeah, they look good and scream, “Spring!” Hey, you have pancakes on top of drinks...?
Yes, ask for whatever you like!
These are actually based on that photo you showed me the other day, Kohane.
Wait, really?
That's incredible... You came up with these after seeing just that photo...?!
These cherry blossom cookies look very good. Mind if I have some?
Of course! Coming right up.
Alright, here you are!
Cherry blossom smoothies for Kohane and An, cherry blossom pancakes for Akito, and cherry blossom cookies for Toya.
Wow, this looks so yummy...!
Yeah!
I love how they represent spring so well!
These are good. Especially these strawberries...
These are good too. Just the right amount of sweetness. Also, they've been cut beautifully to look like cherry blossom petals.
You hear that, MEIKO?! They love everything!
I'm glad.
It was worth all the effort.
Oh, before I forget.
The cherry blossoms around the park in my neighborhood were in bloom.
Wanna try having a little picnic when it's not too crowded?
Oh, a picnic sounds great!
I'd love to go!
At the same time, I'm very jealous.
I wish we had some cherry blossoms over here...
You can see from Kohane's or someone else's phone, right?
That's true, but don't you want to cut loose a little under some real cherry blossom trees?
I know how you feel!
It'd be so much fun♪
People who say that usually end up catching a cold the next day...
Speaking of which, Shiraishi, you said you went out looking for some cherry blossom trees in SEKAI the other day...
Yeah, I did!
I didn't end up finding any that time, but do you think I missed some along the way...?
Hmm... I've taken quite a few walks around here but am yet to see any actual cherry blossoms...
However, I want you all to experience this season as much as possible, so I plan on coming up with more cherry blossom-themed menu items...
Okay! I'll keep helping too!
Yay!
I can't wait to see what you come up with, MEIKO♪
I'm gonna try my best too!
What do you think we should make next?
Hmm...
(They all look like they're having so much fun...)
Isn't there anything I can do for them, like MEIKO and Rin...?
But I can't cook like MEIKO and she already has Rin taste testing for her...
I can...
At the same time, I'm very jealous.
I wish we had some cherry blossoms over here...
Speaking of which, Shiraishi, you said you went out looking for some cherry blossom trees in SEKAI the other day...
Yeah, I did!
I didn't end up finding any that time, but do you think I missed some along the way...?
That's it...!
I just have to see if there are any cherry blossoms in SEKAI!
There's still a chance that there's a tree around here somewhere, and everyone will really love it if I do manage to find one!
Alright, time to go searching!
No, I'm not seeing any at all...
Not many other trees either.
It'd be so much fun to have some of the cherry blossom stuff that MEIKO made while having a picnic together under some cherry blossom trees too...
Huh?
What's that? Is it glowing...?
Alright, let's take a look!
It's so sparkly...
Wait! This is a fragment of a feeling!
But what kind of feeling?
I'm kinda curious now...
Wait, hold on...
We all just talked about having a picnic together...
Is this about seeing cherry blossoms? Does this mean they'll get to see some real ones...?!
But if I touch this, I'd be the only one who gets to see them, right? Hmm... What if I just poked it? Would it let me get just a quick peek...?
Phew...
(Walks really are the best way for me to come up with new menu items.)
(I'm glad everyone liked my cherry blossom-themed menu items so much, but what should I do next...?)
(Something that'll give everyone the motivation to keep trying would be nice.)
(Len...?
Why's he squatting? Is he looking at something...?)
Len, what are you doing in a place like this?
Hey, MEIKO!
How did you...? Huh?
Whoa, what's going on?!
I didn't even touch it...!
Huh?
Is that ball of light a...?
