	—Backyard (Night)—
	*knock knock*
Tsumugi	Yes?
Sakuya	Do you mind if I come in?
Tsumugi	Sakuya-kun? Sure, come in.
	—Room 204—
Sakuya	I've got a request to ask of you...
	Will you come with me to choose some flowers?
Tsumugi	Flowers? That's fine by me, but why the sudden request?
Sakuya	You see...
	—Daycare—
Teacher	Sakuya-kun, come here for a bit.
Sakuya	Yes?
Teacher	I'm sure you've heard of this but recently, the girls have been wanting a tea party...
	So, we'll have the staff members prepare some sweets and hold a tea party for them.
Sakuya	That sounds like fun!
Teacher	There's nothing in particular that we want you to prepare, so taking a reminder that there'll be a tea party is enough.
Sakuya	Understood!
	I've been told that I don't need to prepare anything, but I still want to give something for the children.
	So, I've been thinking...
	If I add some flowers on the table for the party, it'll be more gorgeous, and the children will be happy too.
Tsumugi	I see, so that's what it was. That's very like of you.
Sakuya	I'm not sure which flowers to choose though, since I don't really know much about them...
Tsumugi	If that's the case, just leave it to me. We've got to make it a good one if we're going to be making something.
Tasuku	So, where do you want to go?
Tsumugi	To the Flower Festa, please.
Sakuya	Please...!
	Sorry for making you go out with us too...
Tasuku	You don't need to feel bad.
	I was wondering why Tsumugi asked me to drive, and he said it's important for Sakuma. I thought that if it's you, then it really is important.
Sakuya	Tasuku-san... Thank you very much!
Tasuku	We've arrived. I'll be waiting in the car.
Tsumugi	Got it.
Sakuya	Right, we'll be going now!
	I'm glad this festival is being held right now.
Tsumugi	If we're going to use flowers to decorate, we might as well create something with them.
	There's a workshop here that allows us to do that. Should we go there?
Sakuya	Yes! Lead us, please!

Tsumugi	Ooh... Seems like you can try making a flower basket using the flowers in the park here.
Sakuya	Wow! They look really wonderful!
Tsumugi	Since we're already here, should we try making one?
Sakuya	Yes!
	Which flower should I get...?
Tsumugi	Try to choose one that stands out the most for you.
Sakuya	Let's see...
	These are poinsettias, right?
	I was thinking they would be perfect since it's almost Christmas...
Tsumugi	They really do match with the current season, so I think they'll make a cute flower basket.
Sakuya	Then I'll take these!
	Should I include some small flowers?
Tsumugi	Sure. Poinsettia's really big, so it'll look good together with these small ones.
Sakuya	Understood!
	I've made a really cute flower basket! It's all thanks to your advice, Tsumugi-san.
Tsumugi	No, it's because you worked hard at it.
Sakuya	N-now that I think about it, we've kept Tasuku-san waiting in the car for quite a while...!
Tsumugi	Oh, you really don't need to worry about that. I'm the one who brought you here.
Sakuya	But that's because I asked for your help in the first place...
	I know! We should buy some flower ice cream for Tasuku-san before we get back to the car.
Tsumugi	I'm sure he'll be happy with that.
Sakuya	Let me treat you one too! As thanks for helping me!
Tsumugi	Really? I'll take up on your words then. Fufu, thank you.
	—Daycare—
Child A	Wow! That flower looks so pretty!
Child B	Did you prepare this, Sakuya-sensei?
Sakuya	That's right, I made this just for today.
Child C	You're amazing, Sakuya-sensei!
Child D	I'll sit near this flower!
Teacher A	Thank you for preparing this lovely flower basket, Sakuya-kun.
Teacher B	The tea party became even more wonderful thanks to your flowers.
Sakuya	I'm glad you're happy with it!
Child A	I shall eat a macaron while admiring this flower~.
Child B	Then I shall have some cookies as well.
Teacher A	Fufu, seems like they've started their tea party now.
Sakuya	Haha, they sure did.
	(Seems like everyone took a liking to the flowers. I'm glad I made a flower basket.)
