*Sigh*...

Shizuku

Just bite into it... *Munch*...

Shizuku

Mm...! Mmm...!!

Yomogi

That smile... I want to see it again...!

Yomogi

Oh! That's it...!

Shizuku

Something you want to give me?

Yomogi

Yes...! This is for you, Shizuku-san.

Shizuku

An assortment of sweets? I don't recognize any of them.

Yomogi

They're called dagashi—cheap, old-school snacks!

Yomogi

I figured you might not have had them before, so I ordered a whole bunch online...!

Yomogi

Oh, I recommend this one! It's a DIY candy kit—you mix powder and water to make it yourself!

Shizuku

Just powder and water... and it becomes candy?

Shizuku

Yomogi, would you show me how to make it?

Yomogi

Of course...! Let's open it up, then!

Yomogi

(She's interested...! Keep it up, Yomogi...!)

Shizuku

There are even more little packets inside... Do I open all of them and mix them with water?

Yomogi

There's an order to it! First, we mix this powder with water, and then...

Shizuku

Oh... What a vivid color.

Yomogi

This is where it gets even more fun! Add the next powder, stir it up, and then...

Shizuku

The color changed...

Shizuku

It's gotten all fluffy, too. I'm curious about the flavor, but I want to know what the texture's like, too.

Shizuku

Yomogi, is it ready now?

Yomogi

The finishing touch is this last powder! Scoop some up with the spoon, dip it in this powder, then eat it!

Shizuku

Understood. Now, where's the spoon...?

Yomogi

Oh, I'll get it! It comes with a little spoon—

Shizuku

Yomogi, your sleeve...

Shizuku・Yomogi

Ah!

Yomogi

Aaaaaaaah!!! I knocked the container over~!!

Yomogi

I put all this together because I thought it might make you smile, Shizuku-san, and I still made a total mess of it... I'm the world's most hopeless klutz~!!

Shizuku

I see... So that's what this was about.

Shizuku

Yomogi, let me borrow the spoon.

Yomogi

Huh...? But...

Shizuku

There's still some left around the edge. I'll have a taste... *Munch*...

Shizuku

Mmm... Mmmm...! What incredible sweetness... My taste buds... even my brain... are trembling ever so slightly...!

Yomogi

...!! Shizuku-san is smiling~!!

Shizuku

Thank you, Yomogi. You've shown me a sweet that's as interesting to make as it is to taste.

Yomogi

You don't have to thank me...! Next time, I'll make sure you get to try it once it's properly finished!

Shizuku

I'm looking forward to it.
