Shizuku

Listen

Thank you for tutoring me today, Asahina. I was absent for this class due to work, so you really saved me.
2

Mafuyu

Listen

You're welcome.
I was also thinking about reviewing the same material, so it was a win-win for the both of us.
3

Mafuyu

Listen

Speaking of work, Hinomori, everyone in my class has been talking about your commercial. I was honestly staggered when I saw how beautiful you looked.
4

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, you saw it? Thank you.
5

Shizuku

Listen

But I can't rest on my laurels.
I need to make the most of my success by continuing to do my best.
6

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. You're such a hard-working girl.
7

Mafuyu

Listen

You have my support, so please feel free to ask me for help whenever you need it.
8

Shizuku

Listen

Asahina...
9

Shizuku

Listen

(She's such a kind person...)
10

Shizuku

Listen

(Even the other day, she agreed to do my share of the cleaning after I had to leave early...)
11

Shizuku

Listen

(She's been providing me with so much support.)
12

Shizuku

Listen

(If only there were a way for me to thank her...)
13

Mafuyu

Listen

H-Hinomori, watch out!
14

Shizuku

Huh?

16

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm sorry for yanking you so suddenly, but that pile of snow was about to fall on top of you.
17

Shizuku

Listen

No, I really appreciate it. You kept me from getting all wet.
18

Shizuku

Listen

Oh...
19

Shizuku

Listen

There's some snow on your shoulder, Asahina.
20

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh? Oh, you're right...
21

Shizuku

Listen

Just give me a second to get it with my handkerchief.

22

Shizuku

Listen

Okay, that's all of it.
23

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you.
24

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, your handkerchief...
The embroidery on it is beautiful. Are these camellias?

25

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I saw one blooming in my garden, so I decided to make an embroidery of it.
26

Mafuyu

Listen

Wait, you did this yourself?
27

Mafuyu

Listen

I remember saying how beautiful that other embroidery you showed me the other day was. It's incredible how you're able to create these intricate designs.
28

Shizuku

Listen

Thank you. But it's actually not as difficult as all that.
29

Shizuku

Listen

For example, these camellias use only stitches taught in home ec.
30

Mafuyu

Listen

Really?
31

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, for instance... I made the stems using back stitches, and the anthers on the stamens using French knots.
32

Mafuyu

Listen

Interesting. I thought there were much more complicated stitches involved...
33

Mafuyu

Listen

I saw some girls doing embroidery for their home ec projects. I might just do the same now.
34

Shizuku

Listen

What project?
35

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, that's right.
You're not taking home ec this term, are you?
36

Mafuyu

Listen

We were recently asked to make some accessories of our choice as part of a project. That includes pen cases, pouches and such...
37

Mafuyu

Listen

We can apparently score bonus points by sewing on buttons and embroidering them.
38

Shizuku

Listen

I see. Which is why some girls are choosing to embroider theirs...
39

Shizuku

Listen

Getting to design your project however you like sounds like so much fun! What do you plan on doing for yours, Asahina?
40

Mafuyu

Listen

I'm going make a tissue box cover.
I found some instructions in the supply catalog, so I'll be following that mostly.
41

Mafuyu

Listen

But I still haven't decided how I'm going to decorate it.
42

Mafuyu

Listen

I wish I knew how to embroider like you, Hinomori. I'd have more options if I did.
43

Shizuku

Listen

More options...
44

Shizuku

Listen

Would you like me to teach you?
45

Mafuyu

Listen

Huh?
46

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry. I know this is sudden, and I don't actually know if I'll be able to help...
47

Shizuku

Listen

But you should be able to apply what I teach you to your project, which in turn should make it more fun.
48

Mafuyu

Listen

Hinomori... Thank you.
49

Mafuyu

Listen

I appreciate the offer.
But you don't have to do that. I know your work as an idol keeps you very busy...
50

Shizuku

Listen

Don't worry about me. I can teach you a few simple stitches during lunch.
51

Shizuku

Listen

Also...
52

Shizuku

Listen

You've done so much for me in the past, Asahina. It would make me happy to know I could help you too.
53

Mafuyu

Listen

If you're willing to say that, then I might just have to take you up on your offer.
54

Shizuku

Listen

You will? Thank goodness...!
55

Shizuku

Listen

In that case, why don't we meet during lunch tomorrow?
56

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, that sounds good.
I'll be looking forward to our lesson.
A few hours later

57

Shizuku

Listen

Let's see... I have my needles and embroidery hoops, so that just leaves...
58

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, we're going to need some extra cloth and thread to use for practice. I should have some little pieces somewhere...
59

Shizuku

Listen

(Hehe. I'm so glad that I finally get to help Asahina.)
60

Shizuku

Listen

(I have to prepare a good lesson for her.)
61

63

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, Len...!
Good evening.
64

Len

Listen

<Good evening. Sorry for dropping in on you so suddenly.>

65

Len

Listen

<I wanted to ask you about something...
Did I come at a bad time?>
66

Shizuku

Listen

No, you're fine. I was just getting some things together for tomorrow.
67

Len

Listen

<What's happening tomorrow?>
68

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I promised a friend that I'd teach her how to embroider during lunch.
69

Len

Listen

<I see.
That explains why you have all these sewing supplies out. And this pile of books on embroidery...>
70

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm reading through these again to find some good ideas for my lesson.
71

Shizuku

Listen

That includes deciding which stitches I'm going to teach my friend...
72

Len

Listen

<I see.
Sound like you're putting a lot of effort into this.>
73

Shizuku

Listen

Yes... I want to repay her for what she's done for me.
74

Len

Listen

<Repay her?>
75

Shizuku

Listen

I've actually been relying on this friend quite a lot...
76

Shizuku

Listen

Even today, she was kind enough to fill me in on the classes that I missed. It's like she's always there to help...
77

Shizuku

Listen

But this is my chance to help her.
That's why I want to give her a proper, good lesson.
78

Len

Listen

<Yeah, it sounds like she means a lot to you.>
79

Len

Listen

<Good luck, Shizuku!>
80

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, thank you!
81

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I'm sorry...
I didn't mean to do all the talking.
82

Shizuku

Listen

You said you wanted to ask me about something, Len?
83

Len

Listen

<Oh, right. For our Valentine's Day, we're thinking about striking poses involving hearts when we talk with the audience and stuff. But I still haven't decided what I'm gonna do...>
84

Shizuku

Listen

Poses involving hearts?
85

Len

Listen

<We're having a contest to see who strikes the best pose that involves hearts.>
86

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, that sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine's Day! You're all going to look so adorable.
87

Len

Listen

<Yeah, but I wanna try doing a pose that's both cute and stylish.>
88

Len

Listen

<I've been researching expressions and gestures that make me look cool and relaxed... But I felt that I should ask you, Shizuku, since you probably know a lot about this stuff.>
89

Shizuku

Listen

I see. In that case, I'll be more than happy to help.
90

Len

Listen

<Thanks! You're the best.
The pose I have in mind right now is...>
