Mafuyu, would you like some more tea?

Yes, please.

Okay.

I'm glad we decided to hold this tea party today. The sun isn't too bright and there's hardly any wind.

I'm also glad.

Everyone! Can I have your attention?

I've prepared a little activity for us.

Ta-daa♪ Blowing bubbles!

B-Blowing bubbles?

I was wondering what was in that bag you brought. When did you buy these?

Hehe. I haven't seen these in so long.

I know, right? After I heard that we'd be having a tea party in the park, I thought we could all do it together♪

So I got us bubble-blowing sets!

Just gimme one second to hand them out!

Oh, Saki, lemme help you!

Yeah, I'll give you a hand too!

Blowing bubbles...?

I haven't done that since I was little.

Me neither...

Oh...

Would you like to blow some bubbles with us, Asahina?

Thank you for asking. I think I will.

Yes, perfect!

Here's a straw and bottle of bubble liquid!

Okay, thank you.

Here's your straw and bottle, Kanade.

Thank you...

This really does take me back.

*Blow*

Hehe. The little ones are flying away...

They're beautiful.

Yes, they are.

*Blow*

Oh, hey!

Let's have a contest to see who can blow the biggest bubbles!

Alright, you're on!

Haruka, everyone, join us!

Hehe. Sure.

Let's also join in!

Wait, including me?

Alright, fine.

Come to think of it, I remember managing to make double bubbles with a lot of effort.

Double bubbles?

Oh, like blowing one inside another?

Yeah, but I'd need one of those big bubble wands. I don't think I can with just a straw.

There might be one in that set Saki bought. Why don't we go ask her?

Okay.

Kanade? Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I was just seeing how much fun everyone's having.

...

(I feel like blowing bubbles isn't something high schoolers should be doing...)

(But...)

You're going down, Ena!

*Inhale*

*Blow*

Whoa! Airi, your bubble's huge...!

You can do it, Ena!

Alright...

*Inhale*

*Blow*

Let me try too!

*Inhale*

You need to blow before the liquid all drips out, Minori.

Okay, watch.

First, you make a big bubble using the wand.

Then you blow a bubble inside it.

*Blow*

Oh no...

It popped.

But you were really close.

Yeah, I feel like you'll get it on your next try.

Alright, one more time!

You can do it, Ichika!

(They're all smiling and laughing...)

(It's such a lively party, but it doesn't feel obnoxious...)

(I guess this is okay once in a while...)

*Blow*
