Miku

Listen

The chocolates you brought are very good, Ena.
2

Ena

Listen

Hehe. This brand is really popular.
Also, you can only get them in this flavor for a limited time.
3

Kanade

Listen

While you brought an assortment of different types, Mizuki.
4

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah, I bought a bunch of individually wrapped ones and made a selection! Aren't they cute?
5

Ena

Listen

Yeah. You really put a lot of effort into these wrappings too. Oh, all these ribbons have different designs.
6

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, Ena, thanks for noticing!
I actually embroidered all of those.
7

Len

Listen

Embroidered? Does that mean you made all these little pictures with thread...?
8

Mizuki

Listen

I did! Not only that, they all have pins on the back so that you can use them as brooches!
9

Mizuki

Listen

Sorry, Rin, but I need to borrow you for a second. By scrunching together a bit of fabric like this, you can keep the pinhole in your clothes mostly hidden...
10

Rin

Listen

Wait, Mizuki, I can do this myself.
11

Mizuki

Listen

Haha. Sorry!
I really want you guys to try them on, since I chose designs that I thought would suit each of you.
12

Kanade

Listen

I didn't realize you could make anything like this, Mizuki. I'm really impressed...
13

Mizuki

Listen

Thanks! But the party's just getting started!
Right, Mafuyu!
14

Mafuyu

Listen

...
15

Ena

Listen

Wait, Mafuyu, you also brought something?
16

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I did.
But they're not chocolates.

17

Mafuyu

Listen

Here, this is for you.
18

Kanade

Listen

Umm... A handkerchief?
19

Luka

Listen

Oh, I wasn't expecting that.
It also appears to be embroidered.
Could it be...
20

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I embroidered it myself.
21

Mizuki

Listen

We made these while Shizuku taught us.
22

Ena

Listen

Wow, these are really well-made...
23

Ena

Listen

Did you embroider these on canvas?
24

Mafuyu

Listen

*Nod*
25

Mizuki

Listen

Aren't they amazing?
26

Ena

Listen

Why are you acting so proud, Mizuki?
27

Ena

Listen

But still... It's not just the fact that you used canvas. You designed a nice scene, and these flowers are so intricate but done so well...
28

Ena

Listen

Yeah, this is really good...
29

Mafuyu

Listen

Is it? That's good to hear.
30

Miku

Listen

What's the design on yours, Kanade?
31

Kanade

Listen

Umm... This looks like... A candle?
32

Len

Listen

The flame's really pretty...
What made you choose this design?
33

Mafuyu

Listen

...
I'm not exactly sure myself...
34

Mafuyu

Listen

But I thought this was the right design for you, Kanade.
35

Kanade

Listen

I see...
36

Kanade

Listen

Thank you, Mafuyu...
This is a wonderful gift.
37

Kanade

Listen

Somehow, I feel warm...
38

Mafuyu

Listen

I see.
39

Mafuyu

Listen

I also have one for you, Mizuki.
40

Mizuki

Listen

Wait, you made one for me?!
41

Mafuyu

Listen

*Nod*
I felt that I should.
42

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe! Thanks! Let's take a look-see♪
43

Mizuki

Listen

Oh, you embroidered a cat!
It's so cute...! I promise to take good care of it!
44

Rin

Listen

Mafuyu...
Did you make some for us?
45

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. But MEIKO and KAITO aren't here, so please give these to them later when you see them.
46

Len

Listen

Wait, but...
47

Miku

Listen

Are you sure...?
48

Mafuyu

Listen

Why wouldn't I be?
49

Miku

Listen

You worked very hard on these handkerchiefs, Mafuyu, so I think we all feel that you should give these to them yourself.
50

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay.
51

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Then, why don't we go find them right now?
52

Ena

Listen

What?! But they could be anywhere.
Finding them might take forever.
53

Mizuki

Listen

But it'll be good exercise!
Working up a sweat should make our chocolates taste even better, right?
54

Ena

Listen

Yeah, I guess...
55

Mizuki

Listen

Then, let's go!

Asahina...!

61

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, Hinomori, hello.
Are you on your way home?
62

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. Would you like to walk together?
63

Mafuyu

Listen

Sure. I'm glad that we ran into each other.
64

Shizuku

Listen

Me too.
I've actually been hoping to talk to you, Asahina.
65

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh? Did you need me for something?
66

Shizuku

Listen

Not quite...
I just wanted to ask how things went when you gave your gifts during Valentine's Day.
67

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. I see.
The others were very surprised when they found out that I made embroideries for them.
68

Mafuyu

Listen

But I have you and the others to thank, Hinomori. They really enjoyed the designs we came up with together.
69

Shizuku

Listen

They did? Thank goodness...!
70

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. So, Hinomori, thank you again for teaching me how to embroider.
71

Mafuyu

Listen

I was able to give everyone some wonderful presents as a result, and I got a taste of the joy of embroidery...
72

Shizuku

Listen

Asahina...
73

Shizuku

Listen

You're very welcome! I'm so glad to hear that.
74

Shizuku

Listen

If possible, I'd like to embroider with you again sometime.
75

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes, I'll be looking forward to that.
76

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, also... This doesn't really make up for what you did for me, but I embroidered a handkerchief for you, Hinomori.
77

Shizuku

Listen

Wait, really?
I embroidered one for you as well.
78

Mafuyu

Listen

You did? Hehe. We read each other's minds.
79

Shizuku

Listen

This is so wonderful.
80

Shizuku

Listen

I know. Why don't we open these on three?
81

Mafuyu

Listen

Okay. One, two...

82

Shizuku & Mafuyu

Listen

Three.
83

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, did you...?
84

Shizuku

Listen

Wait, Asahina, you also embroidered a snow rabbit...?!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

85

Mafuyu

Listen

What are the odds that we'd both embroider the same thing?
86

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. Astronomical.
I decided to embroider a snow rabbit after I remembered how we made some together here a little while back...
87

Shizuku

Listen

I can't believe that you remembered, Asahina.
88

Mafuyu

Listen

Yes. I mean, those snow rabbits were just so cute.
89

Mafuyu

Listen

Thank you, Hinomori...
I promise to treasure this.
90

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I'll do the same with your gift.
91

Shizuku

Listen

(I'm so glad that I invited her to embroider with me...)
92

Shizuku

Listen

(Her friends seem to have enjoyed what she made for them, and I was able to help her for a change...)
93

Shizuku

Listen

(Also...)

94

Shizuku

Listen

(Asahina said she saw the joy of embroidery...)
95

Shizuku

Listen

(In that sense...
I feel like we've become closer friends.)
96

Shizuku

Listen

(If Asahina was able to enjoy even just a fraction of the time she spent embroidering...)
97

Shizuku

Listen

(Then I couldn't be happier.)
