MEIKO

Listen

Oh, you're here.
2

Len

Listen

What's going on? Why did they ask us to gather before practice?
3

Miku

Listen

I don't know. I haven't heard anything...
4

Saki

Listen

Heh heh heh!
We actually have some things to give you all today!
5

KAITO

Listen

To us...?
6

Luka

Listen

Oh, what could it be? I can't wait to see.
7

Rin

Listen

Hmmmmm... Wait!
Considering what time of year it is... Could it be...?!
8

Saki

Listen

Oh, it looks like Rin already knows.
So, I'll start us off with...
9

Saki

Listen

Tadaa!
Happy Valentine's Day!
10

Rin

Listen

Wow! These smell amazing☆
Are these chocolates...?
11

Luka

Listen

Oh, yes.
These chocolate truffles look delicious.
12

Saki

Listen

Hehe. I rolled up my sleeves and whipped them together yesterday! Tsukasa really liked them, so I can guarantee that they turned out well!
13

Len

Listen

Thanks, Saki! I can't wait to try them.
14

Shiho

Listen

Okay, I'll go next...
I didn't make these myself like Saki, but here...
15

Luka

Listen

Oh, that's so adorable.
These chocolates are shaped like musical instruments.
16

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, I bought them at the mall during their Valentine's Day fair.
17

MEIKO

Listen

They're so cute that I sort of don't want to eat them. Oh, Honami, did you also bring something for us?
18

Honami

Listen

Yes, I made some chocolate fondant.
19

Honami

Listen

But it's going to be difficult to eat it as is, so I'll cut it into smaller pieces later.
20

Miku

Listen

Ichika, it seems like you also brought something.
21

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I...
22

Ichika

Listen

I'd like for you to all have these...
23

MEIKO

Listen

Oh, did you make something for each of us? I wonder what's inside...
24

KAITO

Listen

Are these candles...?
They smell very nice...
25

Ichika

Listen

Y-Yes, they're scented candles.

26

Shiho

Listen

Interesting. I wasn't expecting you to bring scented candles, Ichika...
27

Shiho

Listen

And the way they've been wrapped... Did you make them yourself?
28

Saki

Listen

Whoa, she's right! Ichi, when did you...?
29

Ichika

Listen

Just the other day. Honami taught me how to make them... I chose colors and fragrances that I thought suited all of you.
30

Saki

Listen

Th-That's amazing...! Like really amazing! Thank you so much, Ichi!
31

Shiho

Listen

Yeah... Thanks, Ichika.
I don't know what to say.
32

Ichika

Listen

Thank goodness...!
Also, Honami, thank you so much.
33

Honami

Listen

Hehe. All I did was teach you how to make them. You put in the effort to make these for everyone.
34

Ichika

Listen

No, I was able to make these because of you... And I'm so glad that they like them so much.
35

Ichika

Listen

There's actually one more present...
I made it with all of you in mind.
36

Saki

Listen

All of us?
37

Ichika

Listen

Yeah. This one's also a scented candle... And here it is.
38

Len

Listen

Whoa, it's bigger than the others! And it has flowers in it! Did you embed them into the wax somehow?
39

Ichika

Listen

Yes, I did.
40

Ichika

Listen

I kept you all in mind when choosing these flowers, so I hope you get a chance to use it.
41

Saki

Listen

Of course!
Oh, can we light them now?
42

Rin

Listen

Yeah, I wanna see what they smell like!
43

Shiho

Listen

I get how you feel, but isn't it a bit too soon? Won't it be better to use them to relax after we're done practicing?
44

Saki

Listen

Oh, Shiho's right...
B-But I still really wanna light them!
45

Miku

Listen

Hehe. They seem to really love what you made for them, Ichika.
46

Honami

Listen

Yes, they do... Ichika worked very hard on them, and I'm sure they can tell...
47

Miku

Listen

I think so too...
Thank you for these, Ichika. We promise to treasure them.
48

Ichika

Listen

Oh... Y-You're welcome...!

Ichika

Listen

(Okay, I'm finished with all of my homework...)
50

Ichika

Listen

(And I have school tomorrow, so I should go to bed soon...)
51

Ichika

Listen

(As much as I should...
Our Valentine's Day celebration was so fun that I don't feel sleepy at all...)
52

Ichika

Listen

Oh, I know.
53

Ichika

Listen

(This is the perfect time to relax with a scented candle.)
54

Ichika

Listen

(I'll relight the one Kusanagi made...)

56

Ichika

Listen

(Hehe. Making these was so much fun too...)
57

Ichika

Listen

(Come to think of it... I've heard that memory is supposed to be closely tied to our sense of smell.)
58

Ichika

Listen

(That link is apparently so strong that smelling certain aromas can help revive memories that you've long since forgotten about...)
59

Ichika

Listen

(So, I wonder if I'll remember again someday...)
60

Ichika

Listen

(All the fun I had making scented candles with Kusanagi, Kanade and Honami...)
61

Ichika

Listen

(Also, the Valentine's Day celebration I had with Saki, Shiho, Miku and the others.)
62

Ichika

Listen

(Those memories might slowly fade and disappear completely someday...)
63

Ichika

Listen

(But I bet I'll be able to remember whenever I smell this scent...)
64

Ichika

Listen

(As many times as I like... I'm sure...)
