Part 1
Shopping Mall
Ichika
Let's see... The wrapping paper and such should be...
Honami
Over here.
On these shelves...

Nene
Wait, all of these...?
So many to choose from...

Kanade
I'm not sure which we should get.
Honami
I'm so sorry, everyone...
I thought I'd gotten everything we needed, but I completely forgot to buy wrapping supplies...
I thought I'd gotten everything we needed, but I completely forgot to buy wrapping supplies...
Kanade
No, that's okay since we all forgot about it as well.
Nene
So, these look like boxes that you put together yourself... Oh, they even have bags with bows on them.
Kanade
Would you recommend boxes since they'll probably protect what's inside better?
Honami
Yes, but you may want to place your candles inside plastic bags first if you do plan on putting them into little boxes.
Honami
Also, I recommend using bubble wrap and such to ensure that they maintain their shape.
Kanade
Right...
Thank you. I'll try looking for some now.
Thank you. I'll try looking for some now.
Ichika
It sounds like Kanade's going with boxes. What should I do...?
Nene
I don't know which to go with either. I can't decide between boxes and bags...
Honami
Hehe. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have.
Ichika
Thanks, Honami!
The thing is, I sort of have an idea already.

Ichika
I was hoping to keep the wrapping fairly simple so that the person opening it will be surprised by what's inside.
Nene
Oh, that sounds fun.
Honami
Then... How about plain wrapping paper like this one?
Ichika
Yeah, that might work...!
Nene
By the way, Mochizuki...
How do you choose wrapping paper in these sorts of situations?

Honami
Me...? Well...
I usually start by thinking about my gift's recipient.

Honami
For example, for Saki, I'd probably choose something cute and fun that uses bright colors.
Honami
For Shiho, I'd choose something much cooler and simpler!
Nene
I see... It's sort of the same thing we did when choosing the fragrances for our candles.
Nene
Thank you, Mochizuki.
I think I have a better idea of what to get now.

Ichika
Me too. I'll try putting your advice into practice. Thanks.
Honami
Hehe. You're welcome.
Ichika
*Sigh*
I'm glad we were able to get everything we needed.

Honami
Speaking of which, Ms. Yoisaki, you bought quite a few boxes. I sort of feel like you got too many...
Kanade
Me? Oh, um... I bought more than I needed just in case I made a mistake or something.
Nene
I also bought extras too just in case...
Ichika
Actually, me too...
Kanade
Oh...
Ichika
Great minds think alike?
Ichika, Nene, Kanade & Honami
Hehehe.
Ichika
I hope everyone likes what we made...
Nene
Yeah... I'm already getting nervous...
Honami
I'm sure they will.
I mean, you put so much thought into all of them.

Kanade
Right.
Not only that...
Not only that...
Kanade
We all worked incredibly hard on them.
Ichika

Ichika
Right!
