Miku

Listen

Oh, Kanade, welcome...
3

Kanade

Listen

Miku, Luka, perfect.
I was just hoping to ask you both a question.
4

Miku

Listen

A question?
5

Luka

Listen

Oh, what would you like to ask us?
6

Kanade

Listen

Has anything been on either of your minds lately?
7

Luka

Listen

Has anything been on our minds?
8

Kanade

Listen

Yes, for example... Have your shoulders been sore? Maybe you're not sleeping as well as you usually do...
9

Miku

Listen

I'm not sure, but I don't think any of us have sore shoulders...
10

Kanade

Listen

I see...
Then, what are your favorite foods?
11

Miku

Listen

I'm happy with anything that you and the others bring over to SEKAI...
12

Miku

Listen

But why do you ask?
13

Kanade

Listen

Uhh... So...
14

Luka

Listen

Are you in the middle of choosing gifts for White Day?
15

Kanade

Listen

Huh? Oh...
16

Kanade

Listen

How did you know, Luka?
17

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Mostly based on the time of year. Also, you were being very suspicious.
18

Kanade

Listen

R-Really...?
19

Miku

Listen

Does this mean you're getting gifts for us?
20

Kanade

Listen

Yes, I am.
I've been doing research by asking how everyone's been doing.
21

Miku

Listen

Research?
22

Kanade

Listen

So, I've been having a lot of trouble deciding what to get everyone. So, I've been asking these questions to find gifts that you'll all be genuinely happy to receive.
23

Miku

Listen

I see...
24

Luka

Listen

So, do you already know what you're going to get everyone else?
25

Kanade

Listen

No, not yet.
26

Miku

Listen

Oh, really?
27

Kanade

Listen

Yes. I've asked them if anything has been on their minds lately...
28

Kanade

Listen

But for example, I don't know what to get someone whose shoulders have been feeling a bit sore...
29

Miku

Listen

Umm... Some medicine?
30

Kanade

Listen

Oh, what about a compress? Or a massage ball? They'd get to enjoy that for much longer...
31

Kanade

Listen

Bath salts might also be nice.
A kind that helps improve blood circulation...
32

Miku

Listen

That does sound nice. And warm...
33

Luka

Listen

All of those seem like fun gift ideas.
34

Kanade

Listen

Really? Thank you.
35

Luka

Listen

Yes, I'd like to see how everyone reacts when they see that you gave them a compress.
36

Kanade

Listen

Oh, right... I guess that would be a bit odd...
37

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I'm just kidding.
But it seems like you've already given this quite a bit of thought. You're still undecided?
38

Kanade

Listen

I've thought of a lot of ideas, but I haven't settled on any yet...
39

Kanade

Listen

I was really hoping that asking everyone would help me decide.
40

Luka

Listen

Yes, I see.
41

Luka

Listen

Then, I think the rest comes down to how you feel.
42

Kanade

Listen

What?
43

Luka

Listen

If you're still torn between a couple of options after giving these gifts as much thought as you have, on top of going through the trouble of learning how everyone's doing...
44

Luka

Listen

Then, all that's left is for you to go off gut feeling.
45

Miku

Listen

Yes, I agree.
46

Miku

Listen

How do you want them to feel, Kanade?
47

Kanade

Listen

How do I want them to feel...?

48

Kanade

Listen

(They're all working really hard.)
49

Kanade

Listen

(So, I want them to feel...)
50

Kanade

Listen

(I want to give them a chance to relax. To take a breath...)
51

Miku

Listen

Kanade...?
52

Kanade

Listen

Thank you both very much.
I know what to do now.
53

Luka

Listen

Really?
That's wonderful.
54

Miku

Listen

I hope they enjoy what you get them.
55

Kanade

Listen

Me too.

<Hello? Kanade? Is something the matter?>
57

Kanade

Listen

I'm sorry for calling you at this hour, Hoshino, but I wanted to let you know that I've made my decision.
58

Ichika

Listen

<You have? That's great...!>
59

Ichika

Listen

<So, what are you getting everyone?>
