(I'm finishing my English review sooner than expected. I'll quickly memorize the rest of the vocab.)

Kohane

(Oh, this word can be used in a lot of different ways... But how specifically? I think I'll try finding some examples...)

(Oh...)

Kohane

Listen

(An ad for chocolates...)
6

Kohane

Listen

(That's right. Valentine's Day is coming up...)
7

Kohane

Listen

(We've been so busy that it completely slipped my mind... But I'd still like to give chocolates to everyone. Plus, having something sweet might be a nice break from practice.)
8

Kohane

Listen

Oh, Shiho would really love this chocolate bunny. And Minori might like these chocolate flowers.
9

Kohane

Listen

Wow... These chocolate bonbons look so fancy. They look so yummy too!
10

Kohane

Listen

What brand are these...? Couleur Chocolat...? Wait, I've heard that name before somewhere...

Hey, Kohane, check out these chocolates in this article! Don't they look amazing?

13

Kohane

Listen

Huh? These are made of chocolate?
I thought they were makeup palettes.
14
Because they are! This cosmetics brand and chocolate company decided to make some stuff together!
15

Kohane

Listen

Oh, you're right...!
It says, “A collaborative effort between Couleur Chocolat and Colore Mi.”
16

Kohane

Listen

Oh, this lipstick's also made of chocolate. That's so cute.
17
I know, right? I'm not usually into this kind of stuff, but I thought these were so cute.
18
And the chocolate this company makes is known to be really good.
19
I wanna try them even just once.
But they're so cute that I might want to put them on display somewhere instead.
20

Kohane

Listen

It's the chocolate company An was talking about...!
21

Kohane

Listen

Does this mean they're still selling that chocolate makeup? I'll try checking their website...

22

Kohane

Listen

Oh...
23

Kohane

Listen

They're all sold out...
24

Kohane

Listen

(I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Both brands are really famous, so I'm sure a lot of people wanted these...)
25

Kohane

Listen

(Aww... If only I'd looked into it a little sooner...)
26

Kohane

Listen

(But there's no use moping. I'll just have to find something else...)

Kohane

(But we're not scheduled to meet for a bit, so I think I'll use this time to search up about the event we're performing in today.)

Student A

Huh? Is it just me, Ishii, or did you put on more makeup than usual today?
30

Student B

Shh! I don't want the teachers to find out!
31

Student B

I just went and retouched everything because I'm thinking about taking a picture of myself for this photo contest.
32

Student A

A photo contest?
33

Student B

Yeah! And the winners get an awesome prize!
34

Student B

Check it out!
You can win these special chocolates made by Couleur Chocolat in collaboration with Colore Mi!
35

Kohane

Listen

What...?
36

Student A

Wow, these are so pretty!
Hold on. This prize includes makeup by Colore Mi too?!
37

Student B

Yeah!
This even comes with an assortment of these brands' other bestselling items!
38

Student A

Oh my gosh. Maybe I'll send in an entry too.
39

Kohane

Listen

(Did I hear them right...?
You can win that set of chocolate makeup...?)
40

Kohane

Listen

(I-I need to search this up...!)

41

Kohane

Listen

(Oh, here it is...!
Wow, you really can win them and a bunch of makeup...)
42

Kohane

Listen

(So, if I were to somehow win, I'd be able to give these to An...)
43

Kohane

Listen

(I'll take a closer look at the rules after I get home...!)

Kohane

Listen

Okay, so the rules for this photo contest are...
45

Kohane

Listen

“Entrants are required to use cosmetic products by Colore Mi and send in their photos through the entry website listed here.”
46

Kohane

Listen

“Entries will be ranked based on an online poll, and the highest ranked entries will receive a glamorous prize!”
47

Kohane

Listen

(So, I have to put on their makeup, take a photo of myself and send it in... I'm not so sure about this now...)
48

Kohane

Listen

(I mean, I hardly ever put on any makeup. Also, as much as I like photography, photos of myself are a bit...)

49

Kohane

Listen

No...
50

Kohane

Listen

I don't own any makeup, but I can at least practice taking photos of myself...
51

Kohane

Listen

(Hmm... I can try using my DSLR...
But my phone might be better for taking a close-up photo of myself.)
52

Kohane

Listen

Okay, I'll use my index and pinky fingers to hold it steady, and then use my thumb to press the shutter button...
53

Kohane

Listen

O-Oh no...
It's hard to keep my hand steady and press the button at the same time.
54

Kohane

Listen

My fingers are starting to cramp...!

55

Kohane

Listen

(Oh... I got so caught up in trying to press the button that I forgot to look at the camera...)

*Sob*
My smile's all crooked...

Kohane

(B-But I have to keep trying! For An's sake...!)
61

Kohane

Listen

(I know. The timer function might make things easier...!)
62

Kohane

Listen

*Sigh*
63

Kohane

Listen

(I've tried a lot of different poses and angles, but nothing's working...)
64

Kohane

Listen

(And on top of forgetting to look at the camera, my smile ends up looking weird every time...)
65

Kohane

Listen

Am I just not cut out for this...?
