| Muku | Wow…! These strawberry tarts look delicious! |
| Yuki | Oh, the cream’s pink too. How cute. |
| Hisoka | This one has marshmallows with the strawberries... |
| Omi | I made these with a spring theme in mind. You guys can have some if you’d like. |
| Sakuya | Yay, thank you very much! |
| Tsumugi | Thank you, I’ll have one right now. |
| *door opens* |
| Homare | A sakura-colored circus, a dandelion pop song, a distant hummingbird in the springtime~♪ |
| Yuki | He just came back but he’s already being so noisy. |
| Sakuya | Welcome back, Homare-san. |
| Tsumugi | Did you go to the haiku meet today? |
| Homare | Indeed I did. It was quite a productive gathering this time as well. |
| Hisoka | …Huh, so it’s still going on. |
| Homare | Of course. It’s been a while since you’ve participated, so why not join us? Everyone’s looking forward to it. |
| Hisoka | …I’ll pass. |
| Homare | I see… You’re as cold as ever. |
| Omi | Homare-san, would you also like a tart? I’m brewing some tea right now too. |
| Homare | Thank you, Omi-kun. I’d be happy to take one. |
| *door opens* |
| Kumon | I’m home! |
| Azami | We’re back. |
| Muku | Welcome back, Kumon-kun, Azami-kun. |
| Omi | Haha, people are coming back one after another. |
| Sakuya | Oh? Kumon-kun brought something with him... |
| Hisoka | A branch…? |
| Kumon | Yeah! I saw this cherry tree branch with pretty blossoms on it drop when I was playing soccer at the riverbed, so I picked it up! |
| Yuki | What are you, a grade-schooler? |
| Azami | I asked him what he was gonna do with it when he got back to the dorm. |
| Kumon | Well, I was thinking I could use it to decorate with since it has flowers on it! |
| Tsumugi | Fufu, you certainly could do that. |
| Ah, however... I believe this is a peach branch, not a cherry one. It looks like these are artificial flowers, but they’re well-made. |
| Kumon | For real?! |
| Homare | Hrm, Hinamatsuri is coming soon. I believe that this branch could’ve been used for decorative purposes. |
| Muku | Now that you mention it, it really is soon. |
| Omi | I’ll be sure to make some chirashizushi when the time comes.[1] |
| Kumon | I’ve never celebrated Hinamatsuri since it’s just me and Big Bro~ |
| But Muku had some ornamental dolls at his house! |
| Muku | Yeah, it’s because I have an older sister. |
| Tsumugi | I’m an only child, so I’ve never really celebrated it. |
| Homare | Yes, same here. |
| Hisoka-kun as— |
| Hisoka | Zzz… |
| Homare | Good grief, has he fallen asleep again? |
| Muku | Yuki-kun, have you ever decorated your house for Hinamatsuri? |
| Yuki | …Well, I have older sisters too. We have this big, splendid display we decorate with. |
| Sakuya | A big doll stand… That sounds gorgeous. |
| Tsumugi | It’s a major event for families with daughters, after all. |
| *door opens* |
| Izumi | I’m back! ...Hey, it looks pretty lively over here. |
| Kumon | Check this out, Director! It’s a peach ornament! |
| Izumi | Wow, you’re right. It’s beautiful. |
| Azami | Tsumugi-san said it’s a decoration for Hinamatsuri or something. |
| Izumi | Hinamatsuri… Oh, that’s right! |
| That’s exactly what I wanted to talk to you guys about— |
