Here you are, Luka.

Pancakes with plenty of whipped cream.

Wow! This is what An and the others ordered? Thank you, MEIKO!

Without further ado♪

Mmm! This is delicious!!

Hehe. I'm glad you like it.

Oh, Miku, would you like some?

It's really yummy!

Yes, please do.

Especially since you put on such a lovely performance for us just now.

Hehe. That really was a fun little session!

Also, what you said was so touching.

Huh? What I said?

Remember? You said...

I believe you were able to say that because you've been watching over them this whole time, including when they discovered their true feelings.

I could've said the same thing, but it would've sounded completely different.

Isn't that because of how you behave on a day-to-day basis?

Wait, I was trying to praise you. Or... Is this you feeling a little embarrassed?

Okay, I think you've had your fun.

*Sob*

MEIKO... Miku's not playing along...

Hehe. You're free to chat all you like, but you should eat your pancakes while they're warm. Also, the whipped cream is starting to melt.

Oh no! You're right!

Mmmm! So good!

While we're on the subject, when are Kohane and the others having their event? Would it be possible for us to go see it?

It's supposed to be pretty soon...

But we may want to stay home for this one.

I agree. This event seems to mean quite a lot to them.

I'd rather have them focus on their performance as opposed to us or anything else.

Right.

I was hoping to watch Kohane lead off as the opening act...

But they should be able to record everything, so we can watch it together afterwards.

Oh, that's right! I completely forgot!

I can't wait to see how she does!

This is just my gut instinct, but I have a feeling that the current Kohane is going to put on a spectacular performance.

The current Kohane...

Yes, the way she sensed what we were thinking... I also felt something very special when we were singing together just now.

Exactly!

*Sigh*

She always seems to surprise us.

Every time we meet, it's like she's discovered something new in the interim. She just keeps growing, changing and finding things that are precious to her.

She's like the pancakes you make, MEIKO. They get better and better each time you eat them.

Oh? But I haven't changed the recipe for them in quite some time...

To be fair, this could be just another one of Luka's ideas...

Hehe. True.

Hm? Did you two just say something?

No, nothing.

MEIKO, can I have a cafe au lait?

Oh, I'd like a refill of black coffee as well!

Of course. Coming right up.
