Congratulations!

Female High Schooler A
Yeah, but...
It still looks a little dull, you know?

Shiho
I don't see anything wrong with a simple design, but I do see your point. You still have plenty of space left.
Female High Schooler A
I feel like I should add some more decorations that glitter and sparkle, since she likes those kinds of things. I just don't have much of a sense for that kind of thing myself.
Saki
Okay.
Glittery and sparkly...
Glittery and sparkly...
Saki
Oh, what about these rhinestones?!
Female High Schooler A
Rhinestones?
Saki
Yes! You could write her name using them, or create her favorite shapes and such!
Saki
Oh, this smiley face might also be a nice touch!
Female High Schooler A
I see...
These would brighten things up a lot.

Saki
Exactly! Also...

<Sakki... Sakki, can you hear me?>
Saki
Sorry, I'll just be a moment!
Saki
Hi, Rin! You came to visit?
Rin
<Hehe. I've been taking quick peeks here and there, because you two have been so busy♪>
Rin
<Anyway, if you wanna make her card really shine, then why not use the you-know-what?>
Saki
The what? Oh, the sparkly masking tape?
Rin
<Yeah! She could create an outer border for her card. Or some cute stars and hearts and stuff!>
Rin
<Throw in the rhinestones you just suggested, and her card's gonna shine like crazy☆>
Saki
Yeah, good point!
Saki
Thanks, Rin! I'll try suggesting that!
Emu
Let's see... Saki and Shiho should be...
Oh, there they are!
Oh, there they are!
Saki
Hi, Emu! Thanks for going out to advertise for us!

But thank you for sticking with me.

That girl over there showed me what to do. You have no idea how hard it was to get everything to balance out.
Female High Schooler B
I also wrote you a message...
Thanks for always looking out for me.

Female High Schooler B
I... I really appreciate it.
Saki
(They both look so happy...)
Saki
(I'm glad they could both make their feelings known.)
Female High Schooler A
Umm... Thanks for helping us out like this.
Saki
No, I'm just glad that she ended up liking it so much!
Female High Schooler A
Me too. We've been together for so long that I think I started to take her for granted...
Female High Schooler A
So, I'm glad that I got a chance to thank her for being my friend.
Female High Schooler B
Thank you so much!
Making that card was so much fun!

A few hours later
Kizaki
Alright, now that we've finished cleaning everything up, this event is officially over. Thank you all for your hard work.
Emu, Saki & Shiho
Thank you for having us!
Kizaki
I even received word from Saishi Kobo that we did a wonderful job of promoting their new products.
Saki
Wow, that's great...!
Kizaki
Yes, thank you all again.
As a reward, would you all like to take home some of the products we had on display here today?

Shiho
Wait, we're allowed to do that...?
Kizaki
Yes. The other employees were impressed by how passionately you all spoke about Saishi Kobo's products with the guests.
Kizaki
If anything, I'm inclined to believe that they'd want you to take whatever you like.
Shiho
Thank you very much.
In that case, we accept.
In that case, we accept.
Kizaki
Excellent. We have everything set up in the back, so please make sure to stop by before you head out.
Saki
(I'm so glad we got to help out with this event...)
Saki
(Working with all those guests and showing them how great Saishi Kobo's products really are was so much fun...)
Male Guest
It's nice, making a card with someone specific in mind. It makes it easier to put your feelings into it...
Male Guest
I can't wait to give this to my wife.
Female High Schooler A
Me too. We've been together for so long that I think I started to take her for granted...
Female High Schooler A
So, I'm glad that I got a chance to thank her for being my friend.
Saki
(Come to think of it...)
Saki
(There are a ton of people who I haven't really had a chance to thank properly yet.)
Saki
Shiho! Emu!
