Talk about a busy day.
But I'm really glad they were able to pull together and keep that show going.
Oh, Tsukasa might be home by now...
I think I'll go see if he is.
Alright, I'm here...
(Oh, good. He's already home.)
<Great show today, Tsukasa!
You really put a smile on everyone's faces at the end!>
Ah, Len!
Apologies for leaving you hanging for so long.
<That's fine! I got to see a fun show in return♪
More importantly...>
<I got a great idea for White Day♪>
What?! You do?!
<Yeah! What if...?>
<W-W-Wah! Something's vibrating!>
Sorry, Len!
I think someone's calling me.
Hm? This number...
It must be my handler from the Chocolate Factory.
<Why do you think they're calling?
Anyway, I'll head back in for now!>
Yes, if you don't mind.
I'll let you know once I'm done with this call.
<Okay!>
<Yay! I'm back!>
Again, Len, I'm sorry about that.
Can you pick up where you left off?
<You don't have to apologize.
By the way, did they mention why they called you?>
They liked the way our show went so much that they wish to incorporate the part we ad-libbed into their shows moving forward.
<The ad-libbed part...? You mean when the Choco Maniac makes chocolates for Chocota?>
Yes, precisely!
The visitors from that day have been mentioning online how much they liked that part.
Some have apparently been asking if they'd be doing that again.
<Whoa, that's amazing!>
Yes. I wasn't sure how things would go at first, but all's well that ends well.
To compensate, they're giving me an opportunity to make my own chocolate!
<Wait, really?!
That's perfect!>
<Remember how everyone shared the chocolates they made with you after the show?>
I... I don't know what to say...!
I feel so blessed to have such wonderful juniors...!
*Sob*
Waahhh!
Why are homemade chocolates so heartwarming?!
<That's when I thought that you should make some chocolates yourself!>
Yes, I see. My own chocolates...
Incidentally, that thought also crossed my mind when I was trying the chocolates Akiyama and the others gave me.
Making some myself would be a clear expression how much I appreciate someone.
<Does that mean...?!>
Yes. Len, I've made my decision!
As thanks for Valentine's Day, I shall make some chocolates too!
<Awesome!>
In addition, Len...
As I mentioned just earlier, the Chocolate Factory is giving me a chance to participate in their demo as thanks for what we did...
But they even said that they'll help make a brand-new chocolate mold just for me.
<A brand-new one?>
I still haven't heard any details surrounding that...
However, they mentioned something about being able to make a mold based on any rough sketch or design I bring to them.
In other words, whatever I draw will come to life in chocolate form!
<Wait, really?! I don't believe it!>
Yes, I can't either.
Although, they did say I can't do anything too outrageous. In any case, it'll be good to have a few backups ready.
Now for the most important part!
<Alright, lay it on me!>
I'd like you to come up with some designs, Len!
<Me?! Are you sure?!>
Yes. You've been a huge help as of late, and were a massive source of support during that show.
This is but a small token of my appreciation, but what do you say?
<Something I draw is gonna be brought to life... As chocolate...!>
<Yes, I'm in! I'm definitely in!
Thank you so much, Tsukasa!>
Wonderful!
Let's start by coming up with what to draw!
Remember to keep chocolatey thoughts in mind as you draw yours, Len!
<Okay!
I'll go find a pen and some paper!>
