Part 1
Saki's Room
Saki
There...
I'm done with all my homework...!
I'm done with all my homework...!
Saki
Phew...
I can finally think about Valentine's Day stuff.
I can finally think about Valentine's Day stuff.
Saki
We even have Airi helping us out, so I really need to try my best with this!
Saki
Alright, we'll all be baking chocolate cakes as the base for our gifts since Emu and I don't have much experience with this.
Saki
And I still need to think about what I specifically want to do with my cake!
Saki
Hmm... It'd be great to make it look like a live house or like we're doing a show somehow♪
Saki
Oh, I know!
I should take a look at the sites Airi recommended!

Saki
Let's see. The chocolate cakes are...
Oh, they're on this page!
Oh, they're on this page!
Saki
Wow...! These all look delicious!
Saki
Whoa! The chocolate coating on this one's so shiny!
Saki
And the chocolate frosting on this one's so cute! Oh, the one next to it has lots of berries on it!
Saki
But I didn't realize you could decorate chocolate cakes in so many different ways.
Saki
They all look really cute and delicious too.
I kinda want to try taking ideas from all of them!

Saki
Hang on, that reminds me.
Airi said that cakes don't have to be round. They can be almost any shape you want.

Saki
Alright, let's keep searching.
Hmm... How about over here?!
Hmm... How about over here?!
Saki
Wow, so many pics of sponge cakes!
They all look so fluffy and yummy...
They all look so fluffy and yummy...
Saki
Wait, this one... It's a heart!
How did they make this?
How did they make this?
Saki
(Oh, they took a round one, split it and attached it to a square one! That's so cool! It's like a puzzle!)
Saki
(Hey, they even have star-shaped rings for pancakes...)
Saki
(“Leo/need” comes from the name of a constellation, so it'd be awesome if I could make a star.)
Saki
(But this is only for pancakes, so it'd probably be too small.)
Saki
Hmm... Aren't there any cakes that are just the right size and look like a star...?
Saki
Star cakes... Star-shaped cakes...
Oh, hey!
Oh, hey!
Saki
(Okay, it says to make a round cake as per normal, cut it into fifths... No, wait, it says sixths...)
Saki
(Take the five-pointed pieces and point them outward to form a star...)
Saki
(Ohh! And you use the last piece to fill the gap in the middle!)
Saki
(That's genius! It's like that other puzzle cake, but this one turns into a star!)
Saki
I didn't know you could do so much with just one cake!
Saki
This is great! I'm gonna use this chance to look up and draw as many cake designs as I can♪
Saki
(Wow, the icing on these cookies are so colorful! I didn't know they made them in these colors...)
Saki
(Hmm... Cookies, huh? All these different shapes too... It's nice that you can come up with what to make on your own.)
Saki
(Oh, what if I made some amps and speakers? That'd make it feel more like a show, right?)
Saki
(Alright, I should draw that too...!)
Saki
I-It's done...!!
Saki
The “Leo/need Special Chocolate Stage”!!
Saki
Not bad if I do say so myself!
Saki
Now it's a matter of whether or not I can actually make it. I'll make sure to ask Airi to see what she thinks!
Saki
If I can turn this drawing into a real cake...
Ichika
Y-You really made this yourself, Saki?
It's incredible. It looks just like a live house stage.

Honami
It really does. This must've been very challenging to make. Thank you for going through all this trouble just for us!
Shiho
Yeah, Saki, good job...
I mean, you always stay late to practice, so a surprise like this means so much.

Shiho
It'd be great to perform on stage like this if it actually existed.
Ichika
I think so too! It'd be the best stage for us to perform our best original songs!
Honami
That means we'd also have to invite Shizuku, Miku and everyone else to show them just how much we've grown, as well as our appreciation for them!
Saki
Yeah!
We should totally do that♪
We should totally do that♪
Saki
Hehe...
Saki
I want Ichi, Hona and Shiho to really like it, and I wanna show Miku and the others just how much we appreciate them!
Saki
Heh heh heh. The “Leo/need Special Chocolate Stage” is gonna be something really special...
