There...
I'm done with all my homework...!
Phew...
I can finally think about Valentine's Day stuff.
We even have Airi helping us out, so I really need to try my best with this!
Alright, we'll all be baking chocolate cakes as the base for our gifts since Emu and I don't have much experience with this.
And I still need to think about what I specifically want to do with my cake!
Hmm... It'd be great to make it look like a live house or like we're doing a show somehow♪
Oh, I know!
I should take a look at the sites Airi recommended!
Let's see. The chocolate cakes are...
Oh, they're on this page!
Wow...! These all look delicious!
Whoa! The chocolate coating on this one's so shiny!
And the chocolate frosting on this one's so cute! Oh, the one next to it has lots of berries on it!
But I didn't realize you could decorate chocolate cakes in so many different ways.
They all look really cute and delicious too.
I kinda want to try taking ideas from all of them!
Hang on, that reminds me.
Airi said that cakes don't have to be round. They can be almost any shape you want.
Alright, let's keep searching.
Hmm... How about over here?!
Wow, so many pics of sponge cakes!
They all look so fluffy and yummy...
Wait, this one... It's a heart!
How did they make this?
(Oh, they took a round one, split it and attached it to a square one! That's so cool! It's like a puzzle!)
(Hey, they even have star-shaped rings for pancakes...)
(“Leo/need” comes from the name of a constellation, so it'd be awesome if I could make a star.)
(But this is only for pancakes, so it'd probably be too small.)
Hmm... Aren't there any cakes that are just the right size and look like a star...?
Star cakes... Star-shaped cakes...
Oh, hey!
(Okay, it says to make a round cake as per normal, cut it into fifths... No, wait, it says sixths...)
(Take the five-pointed pieces and point them outward to form a star...)
(Ohh! And you use the last piece to fill the gap in the middle!)
(That's genius! It's like that other puzzle cake, but this one turns into a star!)
I didn't know you could do so much with just one cake!
This is great! I'm gonna use this chance to look up and draw as many cake designs as I can♪
(Wow, the icing on these cookies are so colorful! I didn't know they made them in these colors...)
(Hmm... Cookies, huh? All these different shapes too... It's nice that you can come up with what to make on your own.)
(Oh, what if I made some amps and speakers? That'd make it feel more like a show, right?)
(Alright, I should draw that too...!)
I-It's done...!!
The “Leo/need Special Chocolate Stage”!!
Not bad if I do say so myself!
Now it's a matter of whether or not I can actually make it. I'll make sure to ask Airi to see what she thinks!
If I can turn this drawing into a real cake...
Y-You really made this yourself, Saki?
It's incredible. It looks just like a live house stage.
It really does. This must've been very challenging to make. Thank you for going through all this trouble just for us!
Yeah, Saki, good job...
I mean, you always stay late to practice, so a surprise like this means so much.
It'd be great to perform on stage like this if it actually existed.
I think so too! It'd be the best stage for us to perform our best original songs!
That means we'd also have to invite Shizuku, Miku and everyone else to show them just how much we've grown, as well as our appreciation for them!
Yeah!
We should totally do that♪
Hehe...
I want Ichi, Hona and Shiho to really like it, and I wanna show Miku and the others just how much we appreciate them!
Heh heh heh. The “Leo/need Special Chocolate Stage” is gonna be something really special...
