Saki

Let's eat♪
2

Honami, Ichika & Shiho

Listen

Let's eat.

Ichika

Listen

...

Ichika

Listen

(I need to ask how they're doing. But very carefully...)

5

Kanade

Listen

Still, I'm glad we did this.
Hanasato and the others helped us realize something important.
6

Ichika

Listen

We need to learn more about the people we're giving our gifts to. It's simple, but really important.
7

Ichika

Listen

We might need to subtly ask during our regular conversations what they'd really enjoy receiving or if anything has been on their minds lately...
8

Ichika

Listen

(I want to get them gifts that they'll really enjoy, so I need to do my best here.)
9

Honami

Listen

Oh, Saki, you brought a lunch today?
10

Saki

Listen

Hehe. We had these really yummy croquettes for dinner last night, so I decided to bring some that were left over♪
11

Shiho

Listen

Oh, what's in them?
12

Saki

Listen

Not so fast, Shiho! I saw you looking right at them! We can trade other parts of our lunches, but you're not getting any of these!
13

Shiho

Listen

That wasn't my plan...
14

Honami

Listen

Hehe.
15

Ichika

Listen

(Be patient. Look for the right time to ask...)
16

Ichika

Listen

(Actually, now might be my chance.)
17

Ichika

Listen

(But how do I phrase my question...?
I'm trying to keep their gifts a surprise—)
18

Shiho

Listen

Aren't you gonna eat, Ichika?
19

Ichika

Listen

Huh?
20

Shiho

Listen

You opened the packet for your yakisoba bun, but you haven't taken a bite.
21

Ichika

Listen

Oh, um... I was wondering where to start.
22

Shiho

Listen

Where to start...?
From either end, right?
23

Saki

Listen

Shiho, you just don't get it.
Don't you ever feel the urge to go from the middle?
24

Honami

Listen

I feel like that also applies to taiyaki.
25

Ichika

Listen

I-It does.
Haha...
26

Honami

Listen

...
27

Honami

Listen

Is something on your mind, Ichika?
28

Ichika

Listen

What?! How did you know...?
29

Honami

Listen

I had an inkling...
I mean, you're the one who said we should all have lunch together...
30

Saki

Listen

Oh, then...!
Does this mean you wanna ask us something?
31

Ichika

Listen

Um...
32

Ichika

Listen

(I do, but...)
33

Ichika

Listen

So, it's about Classical Japanese...
I remembered that I'm probably going to get called on today!
34

Honami

Listen

Oh, that's right...
The girls in the column next to yours got called on last time.
35

Ichika

Listen

Exactly! Which is why I'm pretty sure it's my column's turn today.
36

Shiho

Listen

Classical Japanese... Giving the meaning of individual words isn't too hard, but being asked to read full passages is a different story...
37

Saki

Listen

Really? I actually really like reading those passages!
38

Saki

Listen

Especially stuff from “The Tale of Genji” or “Tsurezuregusa”.
39

Ichika

Listen

(That was close...)
40

Ichika

Listen

(And after telling Kanade that we need to be discreet... I was being the opposite of that.)
41

Ichika

Listen

(But I should still have plenty of opportunities to ask.)
42

Ichika

Listen

(So, I should think a little more later about how to be more subtle.)
43

Ichika

Listen

(No, wait... They just asked me if something was on my mind. That sort of opened the door for me...)
44

Ichika

Listen

(If only I'd asked them then...)

Ichika

Listen

Thanks for listening to my problem, everyone!

Ichika

Listen

So, in return, let me help you!
I'll ask the same question back!
47

Ichika

Listen

Has anything been on your minds lately?
48

Ichika

Listen

(Yeah...
That might've been the way to go...)
49

Shiho

Listen

Ichika, are you still deciding where to start?

50

Saki

Listen

Oh, are you thinking about eating all of the yakisoba first?!
51

Ichika

Listen

Then the bun would lose all purpose...
52

Saki

Listen

Haha! True♪
53

Ichika

Listen

(I should just eat for now...
I'd rather not raise their suspicions any further.)
54

Ichika

Listen

I'll start here.
55

Ichika

Listen

Mmm. So good.
