(Tsukasa and Saki's party is happening this week.)

(Kamishiro even said that my cupcakes were good. All that's left is for me to bake more for the day of.)

Toya

(Practice ended early today, so I should take this opportunity to buy whatever ingredients I need.)

Customer

Thanks for the pancakes! They were delicious! I'll come back again real soon!

5
Character icon
Owner

Yeah, we'll be waiting!

6
Character icon
Toya

Oh, it's that cafe...

7
Character icon
Toya

(Akito goes there from time to time.)

8
Character icon
Akito

Hey, that cafe.

They added new pancakes to their menu again?

9
Character icon
Toya

“We proudly present our latest and most odd pancakes”...?

10
Character icon
Toya

Akito, what do you think they mean by “odd”?

11
Character icon
Akito

Hm? Oh, I think they're referring to how delicate the batter is.

12
Character icon
Akito

Each individual pancake ends up looking unique because they all rise differently.

13
Character icon
Toya

Wait, doesn't that mean some will turn out well while others won't look as nice? That seems a bit unfair to the customers...

14
Character icon
Akito

Nah, they're pros when it comes to that. Regardless of how they look, they all taste good.

15
Character icon
Akito

However, there are people out there who only care about getting the best-looking one. Like Ena...

16
Character icon
Toya

I see...

17
Character icon
Akito

I don't really care how they look as long as they taste good. They're kind of like shows, you know?

18
Character icon
Toya

Like shows?

19
Character icon
Akito

Yeah, because they whip up the best pancakes they can for each individual customer at that point in time.

20
Character icon
Akito

Apparently, how they turn out depends on what kind of condition the batter's ingredients are in that day, the temperature, level of humidity and all sorts of other things.

21
Character icon
Akito

Doesn't that kinda sound like one of our events?

22
Character icon
Toya

Like one of our events...?

23
Character icon
Toya

So, the batter is the performer? And they're using the information they can only learn that day, like the temperature and humidity, to get the crowd going?

24
Character icon
Akito

Exactly.

25
Character icon
Akito

I remember how KAITO compared us to pancakes when we were getting ready for one of our events...

26
Character icon
Akito

And in retrospect, he was right for a change.

27
Character icon
Toya

For a change? That's not a very nice thing to say.

28
Character icon
Akito

Hey, it's his fault for acting the way he usually does.

29
Character icon
Akito

Anyway, that place's “odd” pancakes are made with each individual customer in mind.

30
Character icon
Akito

Since we're here and done practicing for the day, wanna go get some? They even have some that aren't all that sweet.

31
Character icon
Toya

Yes, we should invite the others as well.

32
Character icon
Toya

(Odd creations that come from the heart...)

33
Character icon
Rui

Why not try thinking about the happiest thing they ever did for you when you were little?

34
Character icon
Little Tsukasa

Then, I'm going to turn Toya's frown upside down by doing a show for him!

35
Character icon
Little Saki

His shows are really fun!

You'll be smiling from ear to ear after watching it!

36
Character icon
Toya

(Back then, they made me smile so many times. Even now...)

37
Character icon
Toya

(And now, it's my turn to...)

38
Character icon
Toya

Miku, KAITO and Kamishiro... For the sake of all those who helped me, I need to do my absolute best.

39
Character icon
Toya

Alright...

40
Character icon
Toya

I'll grab whatever ingredients I need, go over the recipe again and review the entire process. After that...
