Oh, I think this is it...!

Look, it says, “Handmade Cotton Candy”!

Yes, I also see customers making their own cotton candy back there...

I was under the impression that making your own cotton candy would be really difficult, but it actually looks kind of fun.

Oh, I've seen the cotton candy machine on that table before online. It's supposed to be really easy to use. All you have to do is pop in some sugar and let it go.

Huh? Just sugar?

That is pretty easy.

Welcome!

Are you here to make your own cotton candy?

Yeah, do you have room for four?

Yes, we do!

Let me show you to your seats.

...is how you use this machine.

I hope you all enjoy making your own cotton candy!

We will.

Let's see... Once it's all warmed up, we toss in some flavored sugar and let it spin, right?

*Nod*

So, are we really going to give each other the cotton candy we make...?

Of course.

I mean, that'll make things way more interesting!

You think so? I don't mind, but who gets whose...?

Hmm... Good question...

I know! Why don't we just go clockwise?

Ena, I'll give you mine. You give yours to Kanade. She'll give hers to Mafuyu, and I'll get yours, Mafuyu!

Which means I'll be making one for Mafuyu. I'm going to apologize in advance since it may not turn out well...

It's okay. I won't mind.

I'm making one for Kanade...

Which flavor do you want?

Huh? I don't have any preferences. Something simple...?

Something simple... Then, maybe orange?

(They all seem pretty motivated now.)

We have two machines. Who's going to go first...?

I still don't feel very confident, so I'd like to watch someone else make one first.

Me too. I need more time to choose the right flavor for her.

Alright.

Then, Mafuyu, you and I are going first.

Okay.

Do you have any preferences in terms of flavor, Mizuki?

Nope!

Pick whatever you think is best♪

*Nod*

Then, I'll try making a strawberry one.

Alright, I'll use this bluish stuff!

What? Don't make it taste weird, okay?

Don't worry! It'll make it fizzy like cider♪ Our guide mentioned how it'd give it a more fun texture, remember?

Okay, just pop in the sugar and...

Switch it on!

Oh, it's starting to produce little strings.

Don't just stare, Mizuki, Mafuyu!

You gotta gather them on your sticks!

Let's see... You're supposed to hover your stick over the center and twirl it, right?

*Nod*

I think like this...

Oh wow... It's already starting to look like the cotton candy I've seen at other food stalls.

Mine's also coming along nicely.

Hmm... Yeah, this does look pretty easy. All you really have to do is twirl the stick over the machine while it spins.

Now it's our turn, Kanade.

*Nod*

Let's see... I have my stick, so all I have to do is pour in the sugar...

Oh, here come the strings!

Alright, now we just need to gather them on our sticks...!

Wait, Ena, you're going too fast!

You gotta go slower or it won't turn out right!

Huh? What do you mean?

Slower? How much slower?!

I think you're going too slow, Kanade...

Try twirling your stick a little faster.

O-Okay...!

Man, making cotton candy was super fun.

*Nod*

I kind of fumbled my way through it at first since I'd never done it before, but I'm glad it turned out okay.

You seem unsatisfied, Ena...

Well, duh.

Mine was becoming nice and big, but it totally lost its fluff when I bumped it up against the wall of the machine at the very end...

Didn't that happen because you tried to use up all the remaining sugar...?

Yeah, you got greedy and made it too big. That's why it hit the wall.

But I didn't want to let that sugar go to waste.

I'm really sorry, Kanade...

I wish it turned out better.

It's okay.

I like the slightly orange hue of it.

But I've never had such a big stick of cotton candy before. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it.

Oh, right. It seems like we're allowed to eat these here, so let's start digging in!

Here's yours, Ena!

Cotton candy with a fizzy feel made specially by yours truly.

Alright, thanks.

I'm supposed to give you the one I made, right, Mafuyu? Here you are.

Thank you.

Here's yours, Mizuki...

Thanks, Mafuyu.

Oh, it's a touch of pink! That's so cute!

It's supposed to be strawberry flavored, right?

Yes...

I also used some cherry-flavored sugar to expand its size a little.

Really?! Now this looks even more delicious. I can't wait to try it!

(It really is fun to hang out with the others like this...)

Ready...?

Let's eat!

Let's eat.
