Welcome!

Oh, Kohane! Hi!

Hello...

Hey, welcome.

What can I get you today?

A cafe mocha, please.

You got it.

Akito and Toya aren't here yet, so you can take the seats in the back while we wait!

Okay!

Oh, hey! Welcome!

Hey, An. You helping out today?

You're such a good kid.

Aren't I?

Your usual lunch, right? Set A?

Yeah, thanks.

I still can't believe how much you've grown, An.

Same. Already a high schooler.

Hm? Hey, hold up.

Why are you guys getting sentimental all of a sudden? Did something happen?

No, it's just... We heard that you modeled as a bride is all.

We've known you since you were little, so just thinking about you in a wedding dress gets us a little teary-eyed.

Hehe. Stop it, you guys.

Also, where did you hear about me modeling as a bride?

Hm? From Kawasaki.

Yeah, she's been bragging about how she took the perfect shot and has been showing everyone she knows.

What? Oh, Ms. Kawasaki...

Hello!

Is An here?

Oh, Ms. Kawasaki, welcome!

Hey, speaking of which...

Huh? Speaking of what?

We were just talking about how you've been telling everyone that I modeled for you.

Oh, that! I mean, I got such a cute and gorgeous shot of you! Why wouldn't I want to show it to everyone around town?

It's visual proof that you're all grown up, An. The little girl we all love so much.

I really appreciate it, but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing...

Don't say that.

You looked absolutely stunning.

Oh, also! The results from the contest came in, so I'd like to talk with you some more. Are you free right now?

Sure, I think so...

Um, Dad, can I take a quick break...?

Yeah, go for it since it's pretty calm right now. Also, here's the cafe mocha your partner ordered.

Okay, thanks!

Kohane's here too, Ms. Kawasaki, so we can talk in the back!

Wait, you got an award?!

Yes, I did. Here, this is my entry!

What?!

This was when I saved Vivi!

But I thought you wanted to get a photo of a happy wedding, Ms. Kawasaki?

You're right. However, I thought this photo best encapsulated the moment when “happiness brings everyone together”.

The look of sheer relief on your face seeing that Vivi's safe, An... Along with the gentle smiles on Airi and Kohane's faces as they pick the leaves off your dress!

And the way Shizuku's so subtly keeping you on your feet after you'd lost one of your heels is just so wonderful!

Oh, you're right...

Your kindness compelled you to act, An, with the groom supporting you and your friends watching over you with warm gazes...

This photo tells me the relationship these four individuals have is going to keep blossoming into something magnificent.

I think so too...!

This was my first chance to really talk to Airi and Shizuku, but this photo makes it look like we're old friends.

Yeah, even though it was pretty much my first time ever meeting them...

Hehe. It's a testament to how wonderful you all are as people.

An, Kohane...

Again, thank you for agreeing to model for me.

No, we should be the ones saying that! Thank you for giving us such a fun opportunity!

She's right! If you ever need us to model again, feel free to ask.

You really mean that?! Thank you!

Oh, next time, instead of as models, I'd love to take photos of you two performing as musicians.

Oh, like when we sing during an event or something?

Yes! I heard that you even put on your own event with some friends recently and how it was a big success.

Grr... If only I'd known about that sooner. I would've wrapped up my other job and rushed back...

Don't worry.

We've actually been talking about doing more in the future.

Yeah, that's right!

We're gonna put on an even better event than last time, so stay tuned!
