Is everyone ready? Alright, everyone, it's time for us to set off! Are you ready for this?

You make it sound like we're going on some epic adventure. It's just a florist shop, you know?

But I've been looking forward to this day for so long♪ Hona and Shiho, you've both been there before, right?

Yes. A few times before. Not as often as Ichika, of course.

Yeah. Ichika was a regular customer there.

And she would always be thinking about what flowers to bring next, too.

Yes. Usually, I would just buy the flowers I already had my eye on...

But I often included flowers recommended by the florist lady too.

Oh! I often hear you talk about her.

She must be such a nice lady!

She is. She regularly gave me discounts, too.

I think it may have been her way of showing concern for me.

I see!

Hehe, I can't wait to meet her.

Oh my, is that Ichika?

You're back for more flowers?

Yes, it's me.

Um, I brought my childhood friends along with me today.

Hello. Long time no see.

Hello...

My! It's been a while since I saw the both of you!

You remember us, too?

Of course I do.

And you've all grown so much in the short period of time we haven't met! Hm?

Oh, h-hello!

My name is Saki Tenma.

Thank you for all those pretty flowers I've received! As you can see, I'm in the pink of health now♪

Ah, so you were the one they got flowers for!

I've been hoping to meet you one day.

Me too! The flowers Ichi brought during her visits were all so lovely. I always looked forward to receiving them!

Oh, please take a look at this!

These are pressed flowers I made from the ones I received!

Not all of them, though.

I asked my mom to make them for me.

My, my... I can tell you really cherished those flowers. Thank you, Saki.

I'm so glad you've recovered from your illness.

I know it couldn't have been easy.

You really did well.

Hehe, thanks!

Oh, but it wasn't that bad at all!

I just kept thinking about the fun things I would do with my friends after I can go back to school again, and that would always put me in a good mood!

(Saki...)

Hehe. Well then, are you having fun now?

Yes! Every day feels very bright!

Um, Ms. Florist?

The next time I come, I'll be getting flowers for birthdays and other celebrations instead of for hospital visits.

Hey, that sounds great! I'll do that too!

You're always welcome here.

I'll even give you a discount the next time!

Really?! Did you all hear that?

She's going to give us discounts!

Yes, I heard the first time.

Don't get carried away now.

I'm not getting carried away, nope!

Hehe.

(Let's buy lots of flowers together from now on, Saki.)
