<They should be here pretty soon, right...?>
Yeah, they just messaged me saying that they're at the station and making their way over.
We were able to message each other about how our surprises went, but haven't actually had a chance yet to talk about it in person.
<Hehe. That means they're also probably really excited about meeting you today♪>
I sure hope so.
Oh, I'll leave my phone on top of the table to make sure you can listen in too.
<Thanks, Airi♪>
You're welcome.
After all, you're also a valued member of the Secret Valentine's Day Alliance.
And I'm sure you want to hear how their surprises went as well, right?
<Yeah! I can't wait!>
Welcome!
Hello! We're here♪
<Oh, that must be them!
Time to hide, but I'll be listening.>
Sorry about the wait, Airi!
Oh, you two came together?
We ran into each other at the entrance!
Hehe☆ But not literally this time♪
Hehe.
Anyway, have a seat, you two!
Let's order some stuff and start celebrating!
Alright...
Here's to a successful Valentine's Day!
Cheers!!
Thank you so much again for everything, Airi! My surprise went over really, really, really well because of you!
Most of all, my friends couldn't believe that I made cookies of each of them!
Oh, those cookies!
The ones you worked really hard on, and made over and over again?
Yeah.
I'm really glad that I didn't give up on them.
Shiho even thought that I had them specially made. You should've seen the look on her face when I told her that I made them!
Really? You surprised cool and calm Shiho that much? Sounds like your surprise was a roaring success!
How about you, Emu?
Did everyone feel wonderhoy after you unveiled your surprise?
Hehe☆ Not just wonderhoy...
Super duper funtastically wonderhoy!
Super duper funtastically?!
Yup! My surprise went so well that I thought I was dreaming!
Haha! That means they really must've loved it!
They really did! And it's all thanks to you, Airi!
You're very welcome.
How did your surprise go, Airi?
The cake was a hit, but everyone loved the marzipan dolls I made of them most of all.
Oh, that's right!
Those dolls you made were sooo cute!
I know, right?! I couldn't believe how detailed their costumes and faces were! They all looked professionally made...!
I can teach you two how to make them sometime if you want.
What?! Y-You will...?!
Whoa! It's like we can do anything as long as we have Airi around!
However, it's not going to be a bed of roses.
Wait! I just remembered how Minori said that Airi's a really tough teacher!
B-But if it means being able to make stuff like that on my own, then please teach me!
Me too! I wanna learn how!
That's what I like to hear. Seek me out when you feel you're ready.
Haha!
Still, are you sure about this?
I originally got to know you as a fan so...
I see. Sure, we started out as an idol meeting one of her fans...
But now I feel like things have changed a little.
I mean, we go to the same school and you're my juniors, so feel free to ask me for help whenever!
Airi...
On top of all that, we're all still members of the Secret Valentine's Day Alliance, right?
We swore to protect a secret together, Saki, Emu, so I hope we get to hang out more like this as comrades!
Yeah, me too...!
Again, Airi, thank you so much!
Yeah, Airi, you're really the best!
Thanks, you two!
Rin, the coast is clear.
Sorry about that.
You didn't really get a chance to do anything other than listen, huh?
<No, that's okay! I had plenty of fun just hearing how their surprises went♪>
<Getting to see you girls bake was also really great, so let me know if you need any help again♪>
Hehe. Thanks.
And don't forget to ask for help if you ever need it, alright?
<Okay♪>
