There, finished...
The first of many monogrammed handkerchiefs.
(Hehe. Embroidering's so much fun.)
(And this really means something since we're giving these to the staff for helping us with our event.)
Presents for the staff?
Yes, because they're not just staff. They're also our fans, right?
A part of them may still want to enjoy the event as members of the audience.
But they raised their hands to help us instead, so I want to give back to them somehow.
Yeah, that's a great idea!
Do you already know what you want to give them?
Yes, handkerchiefs.
I was thinking about monogramming them with their initials along with a little clover.
E-Embroidered personally by you, Shizuku?! Oh, they're absolutely gonna love that!
There aren't that many of them, but are you sure you're gonna have enough time...?
I will. I should be able to work on them at school during breaks.
Alright, you seem set.
We should do something too while we're at it!
Yeah, I was about to suggest the same thing.
Oh, me too!
Hehe. What should we get them?
(Hehe. I have a feeling that Airi and the others are coming up with ideas for presents right now.)
Oh, that reminds me... I was planning to ask about our food situation alongside my present idea.
I'll make sure to ask them tomorrow so we can discuss what to do.
Everyone's going to be incredibly busy, and hungry too, so it might be nice to bring something we can eat on the go...
Come to think of it, all the Cheerful * Days events were fully catered...
But eating food that's been ordered out or prepared elsewhere won't carry the same meaning...
I know we can't make that much for them, but I'd like it if we could make something that can also be an expression of our gratitude...
Hmm... Something simple that symbolizes our appreciation for them...
Oh, that's it...!
Good morning, everyone...!
Huh? Oh, Shizuku, good morning.
You seem awfully happy today.
What's going on?
Well, I had this wonderful idea yesterday...
And I'd like to talk to all of you about rice balls!
R-Rice balls...?
Yes! O-Oh no...!
I-I'm so sorry!
I didn't mean to start with that part...!
Ah, as a little gift...
So you want to make some rice balls for them as a little pick-me-up for when they get hungry?
That's an amazing idea!
I mean... G-Getting a rice ball from Haruka that she made herself...! I wouldn't know what to do with myself...!
Thank you for everything, Minori.
Here's a rice ball made personally by me.
I thought only about you while making this in the hopes that you'd eat it.
It even has salmon in it since I heard it's your favorite. Won't you try some?
Here, open wide.
W-W-Wait...!
Whew...
Minori?!
Her delusion might've short-circuited her.
Hehe. She's this happy about it, so it might just be worth a try, no?
Yeah, it's not like we need a stove or anything, so the four of us should be able to make more than enough for the whole staff.
It'll be a nice motivational boost for them too, and help them get ready for the show.
Such a big boost that some might even collapse from sheer happiness...
Oh, what ingredients should we use?
We have quite a few options to choose from... Salmon, bonito and plums come to mind.
Yes, those all sound delicious♪
Delicious? But we're not the ones...
