| Sakuya | We’re back! |
| Citron | We’re back! |
| Kazunari | Welcome back! |
| Kumon | Did you get any souvenirs for us?! |
| Izumi | Of course we did. |
| Yuki | We got a triangle-shaped Zahran item. |
| Misumi | YESSS!! A glass triangle, ohh shiny shiny~! |
| Kumon | Oh wow, a Zahran triangle, so cool! |
| Tsuzuru | And for Fushimi we got some special spices straight from the royal kitchen. |
| Omi | From the royal chef? Wow. So the royal family even has their own spices. |
| Tsuzuru | We were able to obtain them via special request. |
| Omi | I am looking forward to trying them out. I’ll use them wisely. |
| Itaru | And for Sakyo we got a new board game. |
| Sakyo | Not the royal family’s special alcohol? |
| Chikage | No, we drank it all. |
| Itaru | We did get another type of alcohol, what do you say we have a drink together? |
| Sakyo | Hmm, fine. |
| Kazunari | Ohhh this lamp is so pretty! |
| Tsumugi | They were selling a lot of different variations at the marketplace. We would have bought more if we could. |
| Yuki | And this is some stuff for fabric and jewelry. |
| Tanma | You got a lot. |
| Muku | All this stuff is quite different from what we usually get in our Zahran care packages. |
| Sakyo | .. Come to think of it, don’t you think you spent too much? |
| Matsukawa | Wow it sure is lively in here, I came to see what all the fuss was about. Welcome home everyone! |
| Ohh, are those souvenirs? You guys got a lot of stuff. Oh hey, this bag over here is for me, right? *rustle rustle* | |
| Citron | Nooo noo, that’s something personal for me. |
| Matsukawa | HUHHHH!? Ohhh.. So you didn’t get anything for me!? |
| Kamekichi | GIMME SOUVENIRS TOO! |
| Azuma | Calm down, we got stuff you to two as well. |
| Masumi | Yeah, candy. |
| Matsukawa | YESS! W-Wait.. Isn’t this what you get on the plane? |
| How cheaaap! | |
| Azuma | Fufu, just kidding. This is what we got you. |

| Izumi | See you later! |
| (Alrighty then, everyone who goes to school or work is gone for the day. | |
| Hmm, today is my day off so maybe I should do some tidying up or maybe I can go shopping..) | |
| Citron | Arrggghh.. Ughh.. |
| Izumi | Oh, hey Citron. Where are you going with that giant bag? |
| Citron | To give my friends some souvenirs! |
| Izumi | (With a bag that big, who in the world is he giving souvenirs to? Hm, maybe all those ladies in the shopping centre..?) |
| Citron | A-Ahh ughhh.. |
| Izumi | Oh no, watch out! |
| (This is too much for one person.. got it.) | |
| Citron, let me help you! | |
| File:Flowers That Dance like Snowfall 2-2.png | |
| Citron | It’s a big help having you come along with me. |
| Izumi | Well you always help me out when I have to go shopping. |
| Fish Shop Lady | Oh my my, is that you Citron? You’re back already? |
| Citron | Oh, hello fish shop lady, I see you’re wearing a cute apron today too. I brought back some souvenirs. |
| Fish Shop Lady | Oh, thank you! And please take this horse mackerel, it’s fresh! |
| Citron | Thank you! |
| Oh hey it’s Kiyo from the candy shop. That hairstyle suits you so well. | |
| Kiyo | Oh, thank you. You always give me the nicest compliments. |
| Citron | Here’s a souvenir for you! |
| Kiyo | Thank youu. Here, take this daifuku in return. |
| Citron | Thank you! |
| Hey fruits and vegetables lady, your smile is as radiant as ever today! Here, have this souvenir! | |
| Fruits and Vegetables Lady | Thank you! Oh that’s right, please have this daikon! |
| Citron | Heyyy Hisae, here you go! |
| Hisae | Wow, what cute wrapping! How like you, Citron. |
| Well then I did say I would have something to give you in return so please take this~ | |
| Izumi | .. Wow. |
| Citron | ? |
| Izumi | We gave away so many things, but for some reason I feel like this bag only got heavier.. |
| Citron | I am sure when we give this stuff back to everyone at the dorm it’ll be gone in a flash! |
| Izumi | Hmm, I guess you’re right.. |
| Oh, and we still have some stuff left to give out. | |
| Citron | It’s the big present, we’re going there next. |

| Child A | AH! IT’S CITRON! |
| Child B | Your performance is finished already? Good job! |
| Citron | Hello everyone! |
| Izumi | Huh, wait this place is.. |
| Citron | Our practice dojo! You know it’s was originally just an exercise classroom, but thanks to an acquaintance I was able to transform it into a dojo just for us! |
| Izumi | Oh, is that right? |
| Staff | Welcome. |
| Citron | Are you guys still practicing here? |
| Staff | The children want to practice to be just like you. |
| This set up is pretty good for gymnastics so we decided to just leave it as it for a little while longer. | |
| Izumi | (So he was able to use his connections to transform this space into a dojo for us.. Wow, Citron’s popularity is something else.) |
| Child A | Heyy heyy, how was your performance? |
| Child B | Did the audience enjoy it? |
| Citron | Of courrseee! |
| Child A | YEAH! |
| Citron | It’s all thanks to you guys. I brought back tons of souvenirs for everyone. |
| Child A | WOW! YEAAAHH!! |
| Child B | What is it? What is it? |
| Citron | I brought traditional Zahran candies! They are very sweat and deceptive! |
| Child A | Huh whatt, sounds awful! |
| Citron | Ohh, my mistake, I meant very sweet and delicious! |
| Child B | That’s the total opposite of what you just said! |
| Citron | And here are some toys. You can play with them like this. |
| Child A | Looks fun! |
| Child B | Heyy heyy, is it true there is lots of jasmine in Zahra? |
| Citron | Oh, you guys even know about that? |
| Child B | We looked it up with our mamas! |
| Citron | Yes, jasmine is a very special flower to the Zahran people. It is similar to how Japanese people love sakura. |
| The tiny white flowers are very beautiful. Everyone loves jasmine in Zahra. | |
| Child A | .. Pretty just like Citron! |
| Citron | — Thank you! |
| Child B | We wanna go see the jasmine flowers one day. Jasmine in Zahra! |
| Child A | I WANNA SEE, I WANNA SEE! |
| Citron | I hope you can come and see them some day. There are a lot of things I want to show you guys. |
| Izumi | (So there are child in Japan who want to visit Zahra just like the kids in Zahra who want to visit Japan. It’s as if there is some invisible string of fate connecting these two countries. |
| Citron is so far from home, but he is doing an amazing job with his mission as the Minister of Foreign Arts and Culture. | |
| I am sure he will be happy to tell all his people back at home how hard he’s been working.) | |
| Child A | Hey, Citron, can you do a loopy loop? |
| Citron | Yep! |
| Izumi | Loopy loop? |
| Staff | It’s a somersault done from high up. |
| Izumi | Oh, can you really do that, Citron? |
| Citron | I’ve never done it before, but our performance was so high level I am sure I can do it. |
| Izumi | Well I— I am sure you could try it but please don’t hurt yourself, Citron! |
| Citron | HA! |
| Child A | OHHHH HE JUST DID A SOMERSAULT! |
| Child B | Ahhaha! |
| Citron | I’m still working on it. |
| Izumi | (Citron always makes people smile wherever he goes. I can always see him in a crowd of happy faces. He is so radiant as if he were in a sea of jasmine.) |
