Pass it through here, tie it off and... Okay, done♪

Shizuku, can you take a look at my embroidery?

Of course! Oh, this looks wonderful.
These beads you put on are so cute.

Oh wow...
This is such a complicated design.

I thought really hard about how to do this, and put a ton of effort into it♪

You tied off each end so beautifully. I think it's perfect.

That means a lot coming from you, Shizuku♪
Alright, let's keep up the momentum! On to my other ribbons!

Yes, let's all do our best to make sure our Valentine's Day gifts turn out really well.

I really do love working as a group like this.

Not only do we get to chat while we work, having your friends praise you is a huge source of motivation!

I agree.
And being able to ask for help right away is really nice.

Thanks for doing all this, Shizuku.
Not only did you help us come up with our designs, you've even set up dates which worked for all of us to keep getting together.

You don't need to thank me...
I just wanted to embroider with all of you again.

Oh, but Asahina's running very late...
She said that she'd be right over after taking care of some class representative business...

Yeah...
Maybe it's taking longer than she'd hoped.

I'm sorry for running so late.

No, that's okay. We know being a class representative is busy work.

Please, sit right here. And you can place your things over here.

Thank you.

(Is it just me...?)

(Or does she look more tired than usual...?)

What are your plans for today, Asahina?

I'm going to continue working on the canvas embroidery I started last time.

Your design may take quite some time to complete, since it's a little complicated.

I know. My goal is to get as much done as I can. Oh, but before I get started, I'm going to get myself a drink.

Oh, then... I'll go with you and grab a refill!
Want me to do the same for your drinks, you two?

Thank you, but I'm okay for now.
Have fun, you two.

Isn't it great that this place has a drink station?

I think I'll have some hot cafe au lait.

If you want it hot, then why are you putting ice cubes in?

Because I can't drink it right away if it's too hot. I'm trying to get it down to just the right temperature.

Press the button and... There we go.

What should I get...?

Um, Mafuyu?

Yes?

Sorry if I'm getting the wrong idea, but are you feeling okay? You seem really tired for some reason.

What makes you say that?

Just a feeling. You seem kinda exhausted is all.

I like working with the others like this, and I wanna hear their comments regarding my progress.

But if this is rough for you...

I'm okay.

Huh...?

I don't dislike coming here.

I see. Okay.

I also...

Oh...

Huh? What's up?

There's no cafe au lait coming out.

Huh? No, you're right!
It's not responding at all. Did it break or something?

I'll go ask the staff.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Her too, huh...?

(Does that mean she also enjoys spending time here as a group like this?)

(If so, that'd make me really happy...)
