One, two, three, four...
And two, three, four...
Morning, Shizuku.
Getting another early start?
Oh, Airi! Good morning!
Hm? Someone's in a good mood.
Lemme guess, something good happened?
Yes! Yesterday...
(It's gotten pretty late, but today turned out to be such a fun Valentine's Day.)
(Airi's surprise in particular left us all speechless too. I couldn't believe how cute the marzipan dolls of us looked.)
(I'll have to try some of the gifts that Haruka and Minori gave me after dinner...)
Oh...?
There's something on my desk.
Are these chocolates...?
There's even a little card...
Let's see... “Happy Valentine's Day”...
But I'm not seeing a name anywhere...
Wait, this handwriting...! It has to be...!
Shizuku, dinner's ready.
Hurry up and get changed so...
Shiii!!
Wah...! Wh-What's gotten into you?!
Th-These! They're from you, right, Shii?!
I mean, the way “Happy Valentine's Day” has been so carefully written and lined up so nicely just screamed you, Shii!
Even in English, I could tell that it was your handwriting!
Okay, you got me. Will you please just try to settle down?
And you're still over the moon about Shiho giving you chocolates.
Yes!
Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face...!
But that's not all.
Your surprise made Valentine's Day yesterday such a fun occasion.
I was nearly driven to tears when I saw marzipan dolls of Miku and everyone else on top of your cake.
Hehe. I'm glad you like it.
That means it was worth the effort.
Actually, I need to thank you as well..
What? Thank me?
Yeah. I mean, you knew about what we were doing, right?
(Oh...)
(Is it me or does Saki's house smell really sweet for some reason...?)
Not entirely.
I just happened to smell something sweet in the air, so I figured that you were all preparing for Valentine's Day.
Yeah, that means you knew.
In any case, pulling one over on Saki's brother and company was no easy task.
We were just practicing a dance routine here!
Saki told me all about how she sometimes runs out of energy during band practice and wants to find a way to build her stamina.
Emu also seemed concerned about the way she's been dancing lately during your guys' shows.
And she wants to try something different since her goal's to put on a sweet and happy show next time.
No, you had me completely convinced that time.
The reason I was able to guess what you were doing was actually because I saw the three of you shopping together at the mall.
Wait, what?!
Time out. Then why were you convinced by our little act that time?!
Why?
Because you said that's what was going on, Airi.
You just took my word at face value...?
Oh, Shizuku...
Anyway, thanks.
You know, for not telling anyone else?
You're welcome. Again, thank you for giving us such a fun and wonderful Valentine's Day.
