Izumi	Dinner is ready!
Taichi	Ah… it's not curry!
Guy	Chicken boiled with demiglace sauce huh.
Citron	Hmm, very yummy!
Banri	So it wasn't your cooking duty today, Director-chan.
Azuma	It smells great. Did Omi make this?
Izumi	Yes. He made it before he left so we can reheat it later.
Azuma	But wasn't Omi busy recently?
Banri	He sure was.
Taichi	He comes back late every day.
Azuma	And yet he made such a complex meal for us.
Izumi	He did. I think he is tired, but he never skips his cooking duty, so I'm a bit worried…
Citron	Is Omi okay?
Guy	Shouldn't we replace Fushimi when it is his turn to cook?
Taichi	That could've been nice but…
Banri	Seems like cooking is like a breather for Omi, so replacing him is complicated.
Azuma	Omi might still be cooking even while he's busy because he genuinely wants to.
Guy	I see.
Citron	But I worry…
Izumi	Right…
Taichi	Should I ask him anyway?
Izumi	That might be a good idea. Sorry to ask that of you, Taichi-kun… but would you ask Omi-kun today if you get to talk to him?
Taichi	Got it!
	Omi-kun, welcome back! You're late today too.
Omi	I'm home. Were you still up?
Taichi	Yeah, there's something I want to ask you…
Omi	What's wrong?
Taichi	Today we talked about how we should replace you in cooking duty until things calm down for you at work… what do you think?
Omi	I didn't know you were talking about that for me…
	I'm sorry for making you worry. It makes me happy, but I really am fine so let me do the cooking.
Taichi	Is that really okay…?
Omi	Haha, it is.
	I told you before, cooking is something like a breather for me. If I can't cook, I might become depressed.
Taichi	I'll leave it then… but don't overdo it!
Omi	Yeah, I know. Thank you.
Taichi	Morning!
Citron	Good morning!
Izumi	Breakfast is ready.
Taichi	It looks yummy today too!
Banri	By the way Taichi, did you talk with Omi?
Taichi	I asked him about it… He said if he can't cook he might be depressed, so he refused.
Izumi	Is that so…
Banri	Thought so.
Citron	If Omi says so, nothing we can do.
Taichi	It would be nice if we can do something for Omi-kun…
Izumi	Hmmm… Like giving him a present that would soothe him?
Taichi	A present?
Izumi	Yup, how about gifting him modest presents that wouldn't burden him?
Banri	Yeah, sounds like a plan.
Citron	It's boring to just give him present. Let's surprise him!
Izumi	So how about every day while Omi-kun is out, we'll take turns secretly leaving a small present on his desk?
Taichi	It's nice having a present waiting for you every day after coming back home!
Citron	Mini-Present for Omi Project, starting now!
Izumi	Then let's decide on the order of giving the presents and let everyone know!

Muku	To think I'm the first to give Omi-san his mini-present, I'm a bit nervous.
Taichi	This candy looks deli, I'm sure he would be happy!
Muku	Ehehe, I hope so.
Taichi	(I want to tell Mukkun all about Omi-kun's reaction, and I'm curious too, so I'll pretend to sleep and peek at him!)
	He won't notice if hide under the blanket like this.
	I hope Omi-kun is back soon. I can't wait… to…
	Zzz…
Omi	I'm back. Taichi… sleeping already.
	Hm? There's something on my desk… oh, it's a candy.
	(Someone was probably handing out candies to everyone)
Taichi	Hn…
	Eh, it's morning!? I fell asleep! I couldn't see Omi-kun's reaction…
Sakuya	Should I leave it here?
Taichi	Yup, over there is completely fine.
Sakuya	Omi-san, thank you for everything. …I hope he would love my present.
Taichi	I'm sure Omi-kun would be happy!
	Today I gotta stay awake, for Sakkun's sake too!
	*door opens*
	(Ah, Omi-kun is back! Gotta pretend to sleep…)
Omi	I'm back. …Taichi is sleeping already.
	Hm? There's something on my desk again…
	This is… a heated eye mask. It looks very relaxing, how nice. I'll make sure to use it later.
Taichi	(Omi-kun liked it…! The Mini-Present Project is a great success!)
Azuma	Sorry for intruding. …oh, the little puppy isn't here.
	Omi, feel free to use my present.
Omi	I'm home. …Taichi isn't here.
	Hm? There's something on my desk today as well,
	This is… a beauty lotion? That took an expensive turn. I think it's about time I start looking for the sender--.
Taichi	Eh, Omi-kun!? You're back already!?
Omi	I finished a bit early today.
Taichi	I see. Welcome back!
Omi	I'm back.
	Oh, that's right. There's something I want to ask you Taichi.
Taichi	Eh!? W-What is it!?
Omi	The past few days there was something waiting for me on my desk. Do you know who was leaving those presents?
Taichi	Eh!? T-That was… A f-f-f-fairy!
Omi	A fairy…?
Taichi	That's right! The little fairy was bringing them every day!
Omi	….
	…I see. If you say so Taichi, it might be true.
Izumi	(Crap! Today is my turn to give Omi-kun a present but I came home late!)
	Today is the final day of the Mini-Present Project, so I hope he isn't back already…
	*knock knock*
	(…There's no answer, so he isn't there right. Alright, I'll leave the present now!)
	That would do it.
Omi	I'm back. Wait, Director…?
Izumi	O-Omi-kun!?

Izumi	You're back early today…!
Omi	Yeah. Things calmed down a bit at work. And you Director, what are you doing here?
Izumi	Eh!? Err…
	(So far everyone left their presents without being found out, I can't mess up at the very end…!)
	Ah, c-c-cleaning! Taichi-kun asked me to so I thought I would clean some dust.
Omi	It looks to me like you don't have a duster or anything though…
Izumi	(R-Right… I guess I can't dodge it anymore…)
	…To be frank, I came to leave those aroma goods here.
Omi	Ah, I see. So today my fairy was you, Director.
Izumi	Eh, fairy?
Omi	I found something on my desk every day, I asked Taichi about it and he said it was a fairy.
Izumi	I see…
	Truth is… you looked busy lately Omi-kun, so we talked about doing something for you.
	After consulting with everyone, we decided to take turns and gift you modest presents.
Omi	I figured as much. I had a feeling it might be the case.
	I'm really grateful you went so far for me.
CHOICE 1: Everyone is grateful to Omi-kun [+] Izumi Everyone is grateful to Omi-kun, so we wanted to do something for you. Omi Is it about the cooking? It really is something I'm doing out of love, it's not something I'm deserved to be thanked for. But still, I'm happy. I have to thank everyone later. Izumi Fufu, you're right. Omi Thank you as well for the aroma goods, Director. Izumi You're welcome! Use them if you like.
CHOICE 2: How was it? [+] Izumi How was it like receiving presents from the "fairy" every day? Omi Let's see…at first, I didn’t think it was something especially for me. But once I realized the intention behind the presents, I looked forward to coming back home, wondering if there is something waiting for me today. Izumi Then our surprise plan was a success! Omi Haha, I would say it was a great success. Thank you. Izumi Fufu, you're welcome.
Izumi	By the way, what did you get from the other guys?
Omi	The presents were really varied. There was an onigiri, marshmallows, a manju shaped like a panda face…
Izumi	It's easy to tell who the sender in those cases is.
Omi	There were many other things too. For example this one. Do you know what is it?
Izumi	Hmm… a clothespin?
Omi	I thought so too at first, but when I looked into it I found it's a stand for a pot lid.
Izumi	So such a thing existed…! You can use it while cooking.
Omi	And also this one. It says it's a beauty mask so I think it's from Azami, but I don’t know how to use it.
Izumi	Right, it's quite small. Is it for children…?
Omi	…who knows? I'll ask Azami later.
Izumi	This one on the other hand is big for a mini-present, or rather it's long… what is it?
Omi	Oh, this is a vuvuzela.
Izumi	Vuvuzela is used for cheering in soccer right. Which means it's from Tasuku-san.
Omi	Might be.
Izumi	Did you try to blow it?
Omi	No, not yet. But I would feel bad not using it.
	Alright, I'll try it now.
	*blows*
Izumi	Woah! It's louder than I thought…
	*door opens*
Sakyo	Quiet! What time do you think it is!
Omi	Ah, Sakyo-san, sorry about that. I got a vuvuzela, so I tried blowing it…
Sakyo	So it was you, Fushimi. I thought it was Nanao so I raised my voice. My bad.
Omi	Not at all. I'm sorry for being so loud late at night.
Sakyo	Just be careful.
	*door closes*
Izumi	…What would've happened if it was Taichi-kun.
Omi	I definitely can't lend it to Taichi.
Izumi	Ahaha… absolutely right.
