Minori

Everyone!

Thanks for coming today!

Haruka

Since you're all here,

I think you know what day it is today.

Isn't that right?

Len

It sure sounds like you do.

So let's get straight to celebrating!

Len

Happy birthday, Shizuku!

Minori

Happy birthday!

Airi

Happy birthday!

Haruka

Happy birthday!

Shizuku

Thank you, everyone!

It makes me so happy to receive

birthday wishes from all of you.

Shizuku

I just couldn't wait to meet everyone today!

Let's all have a wonderful time together♪

Airi

Which brings us to today's special segment!

Minori

Right! Today, we have...

"Shizuku's Verdict: The Ultimate Day Out♪"!

Shizuku

My verdict?

Haruka

That's right. In this segment, the three

of us and Len will each present our idea

for "the perfect outing with Shizuku."

Haruka

To tell the truth, we were trying to think

of where to hold your birthday party,

and we just couldn't decide.

Haruka

So we figured, why not have fun with it,

make it a special segment, and have

you decide for us?

Shizuku

Oh my.

In that case, I'd better choose carefully!

Airi

The judging will be split into

the "food" category and the "outing" category!

Airi

We'll start with the food category!

Haruka and I will be presenting.

It's your job to pick your favorite!

Len

We don't know what they have in mind either,

so this will be fun.

Haruka

I'll start us off, then.

My proposal is the classic: a sweets buffet!

Haruka

Your birthday only comes once a year.

Why not make it a cheat day, and have

your fill of all the sweet treats you want?

Shizuku

Hehe, what a nice idea.

It's nice to treat yourself once in a while.

Airi

Well, sweets definitely sound tempting...

But I'm not giving up yet! My plan's got a twist...

It's a tour of a tofu skin factory!

Minori

A factory tour?!

Airi

That's right! You can even experience

making tofu skin yourself...

And enjoy freshly made tofu skin, too!

Airi

It'd be a nice change of pace

to do something out of the ordinary,

and we know how much you love tofu skin!

Shizuku

Freshly made tofu skin...!

That sounds amazing!

Airi

Okay, Shizuku! Your verdict, please!

Shizuku

You've both come up with wonderful ideas...

I would love to eat lots of cake,

but the tour sounds so interesting...

Shizuku

But... But the freshly made tofu skin is

what decides it! It's such a hard call,

but can we go with Airi's idea...?

Haruka

Ah, I guess I've lost. But honestly,

I thought the factory tour sounded interesting,

so I don't feel bad about it.

Len

The outing category is next, then.

That'll be me and Minori!

Minori

Okay, I'll start us off, then! My plan is...

Visit Hiori Jidaigeki Studio Park, and have

a time-leap adventure to the Edo period!

Airi

A time-leap adventure?

Minori

Yes! It's a theme park based on

an Edo-period town, and the sets are so realistic!

Shizuku enjoyed our yukata photoshoot before...

Minori

So we could all put on kimonos, and have

a fun day acting like we've gone back in time!

Shizuku

Hehe, it's exciting just thinking about it!

Len

I'm up next, then. My plan is...

A trip to a bunny petting cafe.

Len

Just imagine yourself relaxing with

a soft, fluffy bunny in each arm.

You'd be refreshed, mind and body!

Len

I'd like you all to go take the chance

to relax and refresh yourselves.

Airi

J-Just picturing it is already so relaxing!

Wait, but why bunnies?

Len

The truth is, a while ago during a lesson,

I overheard Shizuku tell Miku she wanted

to go to a bunny cafe.

Shizuku

Oh, I remember that...

That was quite a long time ago.

I hadn't realized you'd overheard.

Haruka

Okay, Shizuku.

Can we ask for your verdict?

Shizuku

Hmm... I would like to time travel,

but I'd also love to pet bunnies...

I've got it!

Shizuku

I'd like to go to the bunny cafe!

Knowing that Len remembered something I said

offhand makes me very happy.

Airi

Hehe, another close race!

Haruka

Yes. That settles our plans for our next

day off, I think. I'm looking forward to it.

Len

Oh, um... Can we come too?

We'll be careful that none of the other

visitors see us.

Minori

Of course! We'll invite Miku and the others,

and everyone can come!

Shizuku

You all came up with such wonderful ideas,

and it was very hard to choose between them.

Shizuku

Really, I'd like to do everything.

I can tell how much you were thinking of me,

and that makes me so happy.

Shizuku

Thank you all!

Airi

You're very welcome!

It was totally worth all the thinking

to get to see you so happy.

Haruka

Well, that's the end of our special segment.

Next up is the show.

Shizuku

Yes! I'm looking forward to our day off

with everyone already...

Shizuku

But I also want to make this time with everyone here

as special as we can.

Shizuku

I hope you all enjoy yourselves, too.

Get ready— We are!
