Izumi	Omi-kun, thank you for coming shopping with me.
Omi	No problem, I also wanted to check out some ingredients, so it was just perfect.
	It's been a few days since we started our advent calendar.
Izumi	At the beginning I felt bad about being the only one to get presents every day, but now every morning I wake up excited, wondering what I'm going to get today.
Omi	I see. I'm happy you're having fun, Director.
	Choosing the presents for each day of the calendar is fun for us too.
	Taichi and I stayed up late yesterday, talking about what present to choose.
Izumi	Haha, I see.
Omi	By the way, seems Homare-san wanted to gift you a poems collection but…
	It was too big it wouldn't fit in, he was sad about it.
Izumi	Ahaha, that’s a very Homare-like present.
Omi	I should've already decided on my present long ago, but I just end up over thinking things…
	But I'll make sure to choose something that will make you happy, so look forward to it.
Izumi	Alright!
	You decided what you're making for dinner today?
Omi	I thought about making a Christmas menu to go along with our practices.
	Seems like everyone's going to help with the cooking this year, so I'm thinking about baking various kinds of cakes.
Izumi	Various kinds!? You're really fired up Omi-kun…!
	I'll help you too.
Omi	Sure, thank you. That's a huge help.
	By the way Director, are you free after this?
Izumi	I don't have any plans. What's up?
Omi	There's a place I want to visit after this. Will you come with me?

Izumi	So the place you wanted to visit was a used bookstore huh.
Omi	Yeah. I wanted to look for a recipe book for cakes from all around the world.
Izumi	I see!
	Last time we came here, there was a book for recipes from all around the world so I thought we would easily find a book for cakes too but…
Omi	We can't really find it… I'll go look over there.
Izumi	A cutlery guidebook…? So they even make this kinda books.
Omi	Wow, that's one unique guidebook.
Izumi	Yup. Says here it's antique cutlery. The handiwork is wonderful, it's so pretty…
Omi	It has some beautiful pictures…
Izumi	Right. But if it's something you use often, it's better to have something simpler and easier to use…
	Ah, like this one here, it's cute.
Omi	It does look simple and easy to use.
Izumi	Oh right Omi-kun, did you find the cake recipe book?
Omi	Yeah, it was right there. I've bought it earlier. Thanks for coming with me.
	I tried to make some Christmas pudding for a dessert today. I hope everyone likes it.
Juza	…munch munch… 's good.
Muku	It has a very mature taste!
Izumi	Yup, it's very mellow and delicious! You're at a professional level even when it comes to this, Omi-kun!
	Ah, I can taste some spice that resembles cinnamon. The cakes you normally make are delicious, but I like this one too.
Omi	I see. I'm happy you all like it.
Izumi	Today is Omi-kun's turn for the advent calendar!
Omi	Yeah. I hope you'll like it…
Izumi	Then I'll open it right away.
Omi	Sure.
Izumi	…how cute! It's a spoon and fork set!
Omi	It's not the same as we saw in the used bookstore, but I looked for cutlery that looked similar enough.
Izumi	It's wonderful! Thank you.
Omi	It would make me happy if you use this cutlery to eat my cooking from now on.
Izumi	--!
	Sure! I'll use it lots!
	*ding*
	Hm? Omi-kun were you making something?
Omi	Yeah, seems like it's ready. Please wait here.
	Alright, the color is looking good.
Izumi	Huh? It's the cake you made the other day…
Omi	It seemed like you loved it, so I made it again.
	I know you just got it, but would you like to use the present I just gave you?
Izumi	Of course! Thank you!
Muku	Woah, such a nice smell…!
Juza	Candies?
Izumi	Omi-kun baked a cake. Let's eat together.
Omi	I made a lot, so there's enough for Juza and Muku too.
Muku	Really!? Ehehe, thank you so much.
Juza	…! Thanks.
Izumi	Fufu. Then let's dig in.
Omi	Please, go ahead.
