Today's the day.

Are you both ready?

Yes! I'm really looking forward to seeing how Ichi and the others react!

Me too!

I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces☆

(Everyone from the Wonder Stage, everyone from SEKAI and...)

(I can't wait to surprise Sis and the others♪)

Okay, you both sound good and ready. Let's do this...

Secret Valentine's Day Alliance, are you ready?!

Yeah!

Humhumhuum♪

(I'm glad they liked my surprise so much.)

Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face.

(The plushies seemed to really like it too.)

Alright, that just leaves...!

Oh, Emu! I didn't know you were home!

Hi, Sis! Oh, Keisuke, Shosuke, you're both home too!

Yes, we are. Do you have to make a fuss about it every time?

Can't you be a little nicer to her, Shosuke?

Also, Emu, here are your Valentine's Day chocolates. You caught me just after I'd already given Keisuke and Shosuke their gifts.

Wow! This bear wrapping paper's so cute! Thanks, Sis!

Isn't it? I thought you'd like it, so I had them wrap it in that.

The actual chocolates even look like animals. They're really almost too cute to eat.

Oh no! Maybe I should save them!

By the way, where are Mom and Dad?

Mom's still away on a business trip, so she won't be back for some time.

Dad's having dinner with some clients, which means he won't be home until late.

Okay...

(I was hoping to give my gift to everyone when they were all here, but I guess I don't have much of a choice.)

Alright, Sis, Keisuke, Shosuke, I think it's time I showed you guys♪

Oh, Emu, you got us all something?

I can't wait to see what!

*Sigh*

They're like this every year without fail.

Don't be like that, Shosuke.

Especially since Emu went out of her way to get gifts for us.

Wait just one second!

Mr. Chef, if you will!

Ta-daa! Here is it!!

I made this with my friends from school♪

You made this, Emu?

But... It looks fairly plain.

Heh heh heh.

Then you get to cut it, Shosuke♪

What? No, I'll pass...

I've got a really bad feeling about this.

In that case, why don't I cut it?

I'll cut six pieces and start from here...

Okay♪

Here goes nothing.

Hm? It feels like the knife's stuck on something solid.

Wait, don't tell me there's something we're not supposed to eat in there.

Now, Keisuke, open up the cake from where you just cut♪

Open it? Like this?

Wait, there's...!

Wh-What is this?!

This cake's bursting at the seams with sweets!

I know what this is! It's a piña-something cake!

Piña-something...?

Is that supposed to be some kind of cute joke?

I wasn't joking.

It's really called something like that.

I believe this is called a piñata cake.

See? I knew it had that “ñ” sound in it.

Okay, okay, I get it.

I remember seeing something like this during a business trip to the U.S. Where did you come up with this idea, Emu?

A second-year friend showed me this site that showed people how to make them☆

It looked really fun and I thought that it'd be a great way to surprise everyone because of all the goodies hiding inside, so I decided to make one.

Also, Keisuke, I went with this because I know you don't like chocolate that much. Please, try some if you can, okay?

I see.

Thank you, Emu.

This really surprised me too, Emu!

You've come such a long way since we made sweets together when we were little!

Hehe...

Ms. Emu, I just received word that your mother's trip will be wrapping up sooner than expected and will be coming home early.

Really?! That means she'll also get to see...

O-Oh no!

We already opened it!

Right...

Mr. Chef, is there a way to close it up again?

Yes, I can do that.

I shall take this back to the kitchen to begin working on that.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chef! Please, save our cake!

That's great, Emu.

This means it'll be a piñata again.

Yeah!

Also, Keisuke, Shosuke, I believe it goes without saying that you'll both need to do some acting for our second take.

Yes, of course.

You're going along with this, Keisuke...?

Oh, I know! If we take a video, we can show Dad what we did later, right?

Good idea. Why don't I take one for you?

You will?! Thanks, Sis!

(Mom, I hope you get home soon.)
