	—Room 201 (Night)—
Yuki	Hmm... Guess I'll place these here.
Tenma	...Hm? What're those flowers?
Yuki	My sis gave them to me today.
Tenma	Huh, they're pretty.
Yuki	What a shock. So you actually DO have the sensibility to appreciate flowers.
	I thought you only have your eyes on bonsais.
Tenma	How rude of you!
	—Courtyard (Day)—
Yuki	(There's a lot of free time until the meeting with Sakyo...)
	Hm?
Homare	How wonderful! Today is a perfect day for a tea party!
Tsumugi	I'm glad it's sunny.
Izumi	This tea that Homare brewed for us is very delicious.
Muku	Huh? It's Yuki-kun.
Yuki	What's with the gathering.
Muku	We're having a tea party right now. We've got some delicious snacks too so if you don't mind, would you like to join us?
Yuki	...Fine by me.
Izumi	There's an empty seat here.
Yuki	Heh... This table setting's pretty cute.
Muku	It's wonderful that the snacks are also flower-motif. Tsumugi-san shared some of the flowers blooming in the courtyard with us too.
Izumi	Kazunari-kun would be happy and say it's very Instablammable if he were to see this.
Homare	Speaking of Inste, there is a project that you need to take photos for the promotion of the Actor's Cafe, am I right?
Izumi	Yes, that's right. Everyone is searching for their photo spot separately.
Tsumugi	Have you decided on where to take photos of yet, Yuki-kun?
Yuki	Not yet. I've tried to look for it but can't find any good ones.
Tsumugi	I see, then how about this one cafe with many flowers?
	Their main attraction is dried flowers, but they also have a menu with edible flowers too.
	It's been my favorite cafe recently.
	It seems that you can also get to experience of arranging dried flowers there.
Homare	Oh, I know that cafe as well.
	According to my editor in charge, it is famous for its edible flower curry and crepes.
Izumi	A flower curry! I wanna go there...
Yuki	There it is, the Curry Alien.
Izumi	Won't you pick this cafe as your photo spot?
Yuki	You just wanna eat the curry, right?
Izumi	Urk...
Yuki	I've got no other place to choose anyway, so it can't be helped. I'll go with you.
Izumi	It's decided then!
Waiter	Thank you for waiting, here is your Flower Crepe and Flower Curry~.
Izumi	Wow, there's a lot of flowers on my curry...! How pretty!
Yuki	I'm having doubts whether you can really EAT that, with so many flowers on it.
Izumi	I'm sure it'll be delicious since the spice has a nice aroma!
Yuki	Hey, don't forget to take a photo.
Izumi	Oh, that's right!
	We're gonna upload it to Inste anyway, so how about you try to do an Instablammable pose?
Yuki	Instablammable pose?

Izumi	I did some research beforehand. Here, look at this!
	Some people post something like, "Feel free to use this photo for your (pretend) date".
Yuki	I've seen it before, but... wasn't this popular from quite a while ago?
Izumi	Urk...
Yuki	Well, I can give it a try.
Izumi	Great! Okay, so there's something like this... a pose of feeding your partner and say "Aah".
Yuki	Let's see... The fork goes like this.
	Here, say "Aah".
	How's it looking?
Izumi	Looks good! I'll take a photo now, okay?
	*snap*
Yuki	Did you get it?
Izumi	Perfect! Look, it really feels like a POV that you're having a date with Yuki-kun!
Yuki	...Hm, you did a pretty good job.
Izumi	Haha, glad to hear that.
	Phew, that was so yummy~. Thank you for the meal!
Yuki	Thanks for the meal.
Izumi	Oh right, Tsumugi-san said we can arrange dried flowers here.
Yuki	Seems like we can do that over there.
Izumi	You're right! We came all the way here, so why don't we try it as well?
Yuki	I knew you were gonna ask that, so sure.
Izumi	Wow, there are many kinds of dried flowers than I thought!
	Which one are you gonna choose-.
Yuki	The hue for this one looks better than this one...
Izumi	(As expected from Yuki-kun. He's making it very swiftly.)
	What should I choose... Oh.
	(...I think I'll get these flowers.)
	...I'm done!
Yuki	Me too.
Izumi	Here, this one is for you.
Yuki	For me?
Izumi	Yup. We always exchange our creations whenever we're making something together, so I thought I should do it this time too.
	I tried making with lilies again... Do you like it?
Yuki	...Not bad. It's very you-like.
	Well, here's one from me.
Izumi	Wow, it's really cute! Even though they're dried flowers, the colours are so vibrant...!
Yuki	Of course, I'm the one who made it after all.
Izumi	Thank you! I'll treasure them with care in my room!
Yuki	Okay. ...Thanks as well, Director.
	—Room 201 (Night)—
	......
	(Where should I put these dried flowers...)
	Hmm... Guess I'll put them next to the flowers my sis gave me.
	(Oh, gotta change the water before that.)
Tenma	Phew... Another tiring day, huh.
	Hm? These flowers look kinda different than last night...
	N-no way-!
Yuki	Oh hey, you're back already.
Tenma	T-this is bad!!
Yuki	What's wrong with you?
Tenma	The flowers you received last night, they dried up so quick-!
Yuki	Hah? What are you talking about?
Tenma	I'm saying that these flowers are withering!
Yuki	Honestly, what are you saying? Those are dried flowers.
Tenma	...What?
Yuki	The one that my sis gave me are here. I just went out to replace the water.
Tenma	S-say that even sooner! So confusing, you know that!
Yuki	They were still fresh until yesterday, so there's no way they can suddenly wither that quick.
Tenma	Urk...
Yuki	Haha, that was so hilarious. Gotta tell this to Kazunari and the others.
Tenma	H-hey, stop it! You don't need to go out of your way to tell those guys!
