Wow, we did so much today!

We got to see a bunch of dresses and all the booths were super fun...

Our show was also really, really fun!

Totally! Plus, Kanade, Honami, you two looked so amazing in your dresses! That was a nice cherry on top!

Haha... I'm still a little embarrassed. But the dresses you and Emu chose also suited you both really well!

I agree. The normal mock wedding you two did after us was nice to watch.

Hehe. That was really fun!

Thanks for doing that with me, Emu♪

Hehe. Your fluffy and sparkly dress was so cute☆

Unfortunately, it's getting pretty late...

Oh, Honami has to work today, right? I guess we should start getting ready to head out, then.

But I kinda wanna take a look at what souvenirs they have first. Can you stay just a tad longer, Honami?

Yes, I should have time for that.

Okay. Then, let's cap off our trip by browsing through the souvenir section.

Okay!

(Oh, right... It's a bit late, but I should give Rin a chance to see the fair.)

Um, sorry...

There's actually something at the booth over there that I was meaning to buy...

There is?

Then, should we head over there first?

No, that's okay...!

Please go ahead and browse through the souvenirs!

I'll need a minute, but I'll be back soon.

Got it!

We'll see you in a bit!

Have fun, Honami!

Then, let's go see what souvenirs they've got!

Is there anything you wanna get, Kanade?

Oh...

Actually, would you mind if I asked you two for a favor first...?

Okay, this seems like a good place...

Rin, the coast is clear.

<Okay!>

I'm sorry for making you wait so long.

<That's totally fine! I actually managed to sneak in a few peeks and heard some of what you were all talking about!>

<Your acting was so cool during that show, Hona♪>

R-Rin...

<Haha! Hona, your face just turned bright red!>

*Sigh*

Anyway, I'll show you around the fair.

<Thanks!

I wanna see the places that you recommend♪>

Hehe. Sure. Then, let's go!

Okay, first... This is the wedding dress exhibit.

<Wow! These dresses are so pretty!>

<I wish I could try some on!

Oh, what's this one called?!>

Oh, that one's a...

<Oh, Hona, look at the models!

Everyone looks so sparkly!>

Hehe. Yes, they do. I think they're having their fashion show now. Would you like to take a quick peek?

<Yeah, I wanna see!>

<Whoa! It's a real wedding hall!>

<You can be in a mock wedding here, right?!

I wish I could be in one...>

I may actually be able to make a veil for you... We can try having one in SEKAI the next time I'm there with the others.

<Really?! Woohoo☆>

<*Sigh*

That was so much fun. Thanks for showing me around, Hona!>

<Oh, that reminds me...

How's that person you invited doing? Did she enjoy herself today?>

Oh...

Yes, she enjoyed herself very much.

And it's all because you said I should invite her, Rin. Thank you very much for making that suggestion.

<Really?! That's great to hear!>

<But you deserve more credit for doing all the hard work, Hona! I'm so glad she's all smiles now!>

Me too!

Also, I'll make sure to bring the souvenirs you picked out over to SEKAI later. Please look forward to them.

<Awesome☆

Hehe. I can't wait!>

<Then, I think I'm gonna head back.

Thanks so much for today, Hona☆>

I'm glad you enjoyed everything so much, Rin. I'll see you later in SEKAI!

<Okay, see you! Bye bye!>

Let's see... The others should be...

Ms. Yoisaki! There you are.

Wait, where are Mizuki and Emu...?

Welcome back, Ms. Mochizuki.

They're browsing through souvenirs right now.

I'm a bit tired, so I decided to rest here in the meantime.

Oh, I see.

Then, let's wait for them together.

Okay.

Thank you, Ms. Mochizuki.

What?

I had a lot of fun today because of you.

Oh...

I'm so happy to hear you say that...!

(Thank goodness...)

(I wasn't sure if I should at first, but I'm really glad I invited her out today.)

Oh, sorry. Someone must've just sent me a message. But who...?

Um... Is everything okay...?

Oh, um, yes...

It's nothing serious...

The friend I told you about before just contacted me.

I've been talking to her during the day lately, but she apparently won't be available tomorrow.

Did something happen...?

No, no trouble or anything.

Just student council business.

So, everything's fine.

Um...

No, really. Everything's fine...

I was just a little surprised to receive a message from her is all.

Yes, I see...

I'm sorry for looking so worried.

Oh, would you like something warm to drink? It is starting to get a little chilly.

I'll go buy us something.

What would you like to have?

Thank you.

Hm... Then, tea might be nice.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Okay, tea and water.

That should do it...

...

<Hona.>

Huh? Rin...?

<Sorry, I'm still here...

I sorta didn't want to go back so soon.>

<Also, is that the person you were talking about? Ms. Yoisaki, right...?>

Oh... Yes, that's her.

<Is everything okay...?>

Oh...

Yes, everything's fine.

I was just thinking...

When I saw Ms. Yoisaki smile, I felt like I'd managed to help her feel better...

But I actually accomplished very little.

<Hona...>

It's nothing to be surprised about, of course. I knew that cheering her up a little wouldn't actually solve what's going on with her and her friends...

I knew that, but my mind keeps wandering back towards it.

<I see...>

<But I still think you did a really great thing today, Hona...>

<I mean, I'd be beyond happy if I saw someone trying to do so much for me!>

Rin...

<I know! Hona, remember those vows you told me about earlier?>

<The thing about being with the person you care about for better or for worse?!>

Oh... Yes, of course.

<Hearing that almost brought me to tears! I mean, it's such a beautiful thought... Promising to be with someone through thick and thin no matter what!>

<So, even when Ms. Yoisaki thinks things are tough or tires herself out from trying so hard... I'm sure she feels better knowing that you're there for her!>

Oh, you think so...?

<Yeah! Which is why what you did for her today's gotta mean a lot to her...>

<And everything you usually do is really amazing too!

There's no two ways about it!>

What...?

<Am I wrong? You're always thinking about what's best for Ms. Yoisaki, right?>

<You make all this delicious food for her, clean her house, do her laundry... You put your whole heart into it...>

<That's why I think you're a humongous source of support for her!>

Yes, I think I see what you mean...

Thank you, Rin.

I feel a little better now.

<Hehe. Great!

I feel better too after seeing you smile☆>
