Thank you very much!
Saki
Making a mosaic out of message cards is such a cool idea...!
Saki
I'd love to see what the finished piece looks like! I want to give it a try too.
Shiho
And it's a good idea to let anyone participate.
Emu
Yeah! I'm so impressed!
Everyone's come up with such fun ideas.

Kizaki
Next, we have...
Ms. Tenma's group. Please come to the front.
Ms. Tenma's group. Please come to the front.
Saki
Oh, that's us...!
Saki
(But we also gave our idea a lot of thought, too. And the other two helped turn it into a really great proposal...)
Saki
(We just gotta believe in what we're about to present...!)
Saki
W-We've come up with an event involving guests writing their own message cards using Saishi Kobo's products!
Saki
We believe actually using their products is the best way for customers to understand just how much thought and effort they put into them.
Shiho
But we also felt that just writing message cards like normal wouldn't be enough to convince people to attend this event.
Shiho
Which is how we arrived upon our “Say Thank You On White Day” event.
Employee
Ah, White Day, you say...?
Emu
Yes! This event is going to take place at the beginning of March, which is the perfect time to prepare for White Day!
Emu
Our guess is that a lot of people will be at the mall shopping for gifts to thank others for what they gave them on Valentine's Day!
Emu
That's why we'd like to hold a workshop where our guests will get to make message cards to attach to their presents...
Emu
And we think that even people who don't use stationery often will be really interested in participating!
Saki
Especially since White Day is all about thanking those you care about the most. And we believe these cards will help them do just that!
Student Leader
In other words, you'll be helping them send their thoughts...?
Shiho
It can be hard to thank those who are closest to you or who you care about the most...
Shiho
But people may find it easier to share those feelings that are hard to put into words, in the form of a thoughtful card.
Emu
Also, Saishi Kobo worked really hard on coming up with these great product designs that go with their mission of “helping you send your thoughts”!
Emu
Which is why we believe everybody will find just the cards they're looking for to make their intended recipient happy!
Saki
We believe that we'll be able to convince a lot of people to participate as long as we stay on that message.
Saki
We want everyone to learn all about how great Saishi Kobo's products are...
Saki
And help everyone say, “Thank you,” to those they care about the most!
Shiho
That concludes this presentation.
Employee
Thank you very much.
Not only did you come up with a solid concept, you really thought out of the box there by coupling it with White Day.

...!
Saki
Thank you very much!
Employee
As far as flaws go...
There are quite a few stationery companies out there that make message cards using special designs and materials.

Employee
So, one could argue that you didn't quite do a good job of explaining why Saishi Kobo's cards, specifically, are the best choice.
Emu
Oh...
Shiho
It's true, we didn't sufficiently address that angle.
Employee
Still, you deserve a pat on the back for coming up with this in such a short amount of time. Thank you all for your hard work.
A few hours later
Kizaki
That concludes this shadowing.
Thank you all for coming to visit us today.

Saki
*Sigh*
I feel like my brain's gonna melt after all that thinking...!

Shiho
We used our heads in a way that we don't normally while studying.
Emu
But coming up with ideas and giving a presentation together was so much fun!
Emu
And I learned so much from the other groups' presentations too!
Shiho
Me too. They even gave us advice on what we could do better, so I wanna make the most of what they said if we ever do something like this again.
Shiho
Oh, before I forget...
I need to write the rough draft of my report.

Saki
Yeah, me too!
I should summarize everything that we learned today.

Do you all have some time to talk before you head out?

Huh?
Shiho
Yes, how can we help you?
Kizaki
It's about your event proposal...
We've actually been planning something very similar.

Kizaki
The details differ slightly, but the overall idea of writing message cards for White Day is basically the same.
Saki
Wait, really...?!
Kizaki
Yes. So, if you all have time, you'd be more than welcome to come visit our event.
Saki
Wow, that'd be great!
I actually really want to make message cards using Saishi Kobo's stationery now!

Your event...
Shiho
Otori?
Emu
Excuse me! If possible...
Emu
Would it be alright if I helped out with this event?!
Kizaki
What...?
Emu
So, I really learned a lot today about how companies come up with ideas and run planning meetings!
Emu
And I'd like to learn even more about how these sorts of events are actually run!
Saki
Emu...
Kizaki
I see. In that case, welcome aboard.
We'll be more than happy to have someone with your energy there to help us.

Would you two like to join her?
Shiho

Kizaki
Yes. We had budgeted to hire part-timers as the staff, so you'll even get paid for your work.
