Hello, Ms. Yoisaki.

Hello. Please come in.

Pardon the intrusion. I really appreciate you having me again.

No, it's my pleasure.

Also, I heard that you finished your song.

Yes, I did!

And I wanted to thank you for your advice, Kanade.

There's no need to thank me. If anything, you gave me the inspiration for another song.

So, thank you.

No, please...!

But that does make me really happy.

Anyway, as a small token of my appreciation...

Here are some mini cream puffs. I was thinking that you'd like to have something sweet while you work, or whenever you need a little boost of energy.

That's so thoughtful of you.

Thank you, Hoshino.

I think I'll have one right now.

Then, I'll make some tea.

Please sit and relax, you two.

Okay, thank you.

That reminds me.

Would you mind if I listened to your song, Hoshino?

Of course I wouldn't...!

I just need one second to get it set up!

...

...

Yes, it's nice...

This kindness... I get a clear feeling throughout the song that you want to help or support someone.

...!

Thank you so much, Kanade!

That's great, Ichika.

Thanks!

I was able to finish this song because of your help, Kanade. So, again, thank you!

Like I said, there's no need to thank me.

I believe that you were able to finish your song because you were willing to take a hard look at it and never gave up.

I was also surprised when I heard that you were working on a song. It's impressive considering how much we usually practice...

I wanted to do this so that Saki wouldn't have to work as hard...

Also, to sing with Miku.

To sing with Miku?

That's a very nice reason.

I-It is...?

Yes. Given how this was your first song, I was very impressed by how well-tuned Miku's voice was.

It's clear that you care greatly about her.

Thank you very much...!

Thank you for the mini cream puffs. They were delicious.

I'm glad you liked them.

Well, to be fair, Honami helped pick them out.

Hehe. I have a feeling that you're also going to like our other little gift.

Other little gift?

Yes. Honami told me about how she places some flowers in a vase after she finishes cleaning each time. I helped choose ones for today.

Ah, yes...

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind you chose.

Today's flowers are... Gerberas!

I chose these because they come in a variety of vibrant and beautiful colors, and most types symbolize optimism.

Yes, just looking at all these beautiful colors is putting a smile on my face. Thank you, Hoshino.

While we're on the subject, Ms. Mochizuki, you usually ask Hoshino for advice regarding which flowers to bring each time, right?

Yes, Ichika knows quite a lot about flowers.

Your name came up a long time ago, but I finally have this opportunity to thank you.

What?

Thank you for always choosing such lovely flowers, Hoshino.

Wait, no, um! I just like thinking about what kinds of flowers people might like to receive! I really don't deserve to be thanked...

If anything, they're my way of thanking you. I mean, I owe you so much...

We've been thanking each other so much today...

Yes, we have...

Hehe. Ichika, I'll take the flowers.

Ms. Yoisaki, I'll place them in a vase now.

Okay, thank you.

I want these gerberas to last as long as possible, so I promise to cherish them.

Oh, thank you... Wait, I did it again...

Hehe.
