Hmm... What to do for White Day...?

(Something simple that doesn't really imply anything is probably my safest bet.)

(To be fair, Ena might be the only person I know who believes that candy means, “I like you,” and marshmallows mean, “I don't like you.”)

Oh, but these heart-shaped chocolates are pretty cute...

Hey, this one uses a huge bar of chocolate as its base. That's so cool! They didn't even melt it!

Oh, this one's way too cute!

It looks just like a lollipop!

(Kanade and Mafuyu went out of their way to get me chocolates, so I kinda want to give back something nice.)

(Chocolates of different shapes and sizes for each person would be ideal...)

But I'd need a bunch of different ingredients and cookware to make that happen.

Hmm... What else would be good...?

Hm...?

What's this ad for?

Let's see... The “Chocolate Factory”?

Oh, it's a factory with a museum.

They even have a kitchen studio where visitors can make their own chocolates.

Hey, they're even putting on demos for White Day!

Wait, we can use all the ingredients and cookware that are there?! And we can make them how we like?! This is it!

Alright, I've gotta check this place out♪

Oh, I should invite someone along!

Ena's... No, it's still noon. She's probably sound asleep. I'll have to wait until later tonight.

An's the next person on my list.

She's probably on lunch break now, so I think I'll give her a call...

<Hello?>

<Hey, An!

Are you free right now?>

<Yeah, I was just having lunch.

What's up?>

<There's this place I'm thinking about checking out♪ It's called the Chocolate Factory.>

<Apparently, you can make your own chocolates if you go!>

<Sounds fun, right? Wanna come with?>

<Making your own chocolates does sound fun! When do you plan on going?>

<Um... Sometime before White Day if possible, so... This weekend!>

<Oh, this weekend...?>

<Do you have practice? Or an event?>

<There's also that, but I promised to help out at our place this weekend...>

<That's too bad. I guess business is business.>

<Sorry. Hey, hold on.

Why don't you invite Akito's sister?>

<But I have a feeling that she won't want to be bothered with something like this...>

<Who else do you think would want to go?>

<Hmm... What about Kamishiro?

You two are pretty close, right?>

<Rui? He'd probably be more interested in machinery than chocolate.>

<Also, his troupe usually has practice on weekends, so I doubt he'll be free to go on such short notice.>

<Then, why not Akito?>

<Huh?>

<He likes sweets, so he might be willing to go.>

<Yeah, I see your point...

You really think he'll want to go?>

<Won't he just say the same thing as Ena? He probably won't want to bother with something like this.>

<I mean, they're doing chocolate-making demos for White Day, right?>

<Despite the way he talks, he's pretty old-fashioned. I have a feeling he's still figuring out what to give back, so he might want to go. Who knows?>

<Also... This Chocolate Factory sells its own chocolates, right?>

<Yeah... Oh, I almost forgot. The ad said this famous chocolatier names Paul Hansen is supposed to be visiting.>

<It even mentioned how participating in the demo gives you an opportunity to buy his latest creations.>

<Really?! That means you can buy chocolates for yourself and make some for White Day! Two birds with one stone!>

<There's no way Akito can say no to that.>

<Interesting. I didn't realize Li'l Bro liked sweets that much.>

<Thanks, An.

I'll try asking him if Ena says she isn't up to it.>

<Also, sorry for taking so much time out of your lunch break.>

<No problem!

Call me again if something comes up, okay?>

<I will! Bye bye♪>

Ena or Li'l Bro... It should be fun either way.

Hold on. I don't have to just invite one of them. Why not both? I could invite Toya along too!

I can't wait to see how things turn out. First, I'll ask Ena to see what she thinks♪
