Part 2

Alright, we’re all prepped! Now we just have to pass out the message cards!

Ehehe, I really hope they like them~♪

Yeah! Oh, but..… are Minori-chan and the others even at school today?

I saw Minori-chan in the hallway a little while ago~!

Pretty sure my sister and Momoi-senpai are here as well.

But they said they’d be meeting up after school, so we should probably give them the cards now while we can.

Oh, gotcha. Alright, let’s hurry!

Shiho-chan, did you already give your card to Hinomori-senpai?

Not yet. I was thinking I’d just give it to her after school.

Oh, same here! I’m gonna give mine to Big bro after school too!

Me too~! Hope we all get to give them out without any hiccups ☆

So true! Okay, first stop—Minori-chan’s classroom!

(The card exchange in SEKAI was sooo much fun!)

(Everyone loved the cards...… I can’t wait to give mine to Mom and everyone, too!)

(I hope they get home soon!)

—I’m home. Oh, Saki, you’re back already.

Oh, welcome home!

Hey, Mom, are you gonna make dinner right away?

No, I just got back, so I think I’ll have some tea first.

Ah.....

Then let me make the tea! You can just sit and relax, Mom!

Oh? That’s sweet of you, Saki.

Here you go ♪ Careful, it’s hot~

Fufu, thank you, dear. I’ll go ahead and have some.

Oh, actually, I have something for you, Mom.

Oh my, what could it be?

Ta-daa! A handmade message card, just for you ♪

Oh my goodness..… Thank you, sweetie, I love it. Oh, it even has a pop-up bouquet inside.

Ehehe! Since it’s White Day, I wanted to put in lots and lots of thank-yous!

It’s lovely. Mind if I read the message?

Ah, wait a sec! I wanna say it myself!

—Ahem!

"Even though you're always super busy, you still work so hard at your job and taking care of the house. Thank you, Mom! I love your cooking, it's the best in the world!"

"Knowing you're watching over me and cheering me on gives me the courage to try new things and enjoy every moment!"

"From now on, I'm gonna do my best to help out more and make things easier for you, Mom!"

…...Thank you, Saki.

As long as I can see you going after your dreams and doing whatever makes you happy, that's all I could ever ask for.

…..Ehehe, hearing you say that makes me really happy too.

——I'M HOOMEE!!

Oh! Welcome home! You're just in time!

Big bro, this one's for you! Here ya go ♪

Hm? What’s this…...?

It’s my White Day present for you—a message card!

I wanted it to match my future world-famous star brother, so I made a starry sky with rhinestones!

Ohh, how magnificent..…!

The deep blue of this card; it’s like gazing upon a real night sky, filled with twinkling stars!

And guess what? I even put the Pegasus constellation in there too!

Say what?! A hidden Pegasus among the stars.....? Your creativity is out of this world, dear sister!

Ehehe, I’m so glad you liked it ♪

Alrighty, I’m gonna read the message now!

"No one’s more determined to reach for their dream than you, and seeing you work so hard to become a star...… makes you the absolute coolest big brother ever!"

"Watching you makes me think, ‘Wow, my brother is seriously amazing!’ It fires me up, like, ‘I can’t fall behind either!' ♪"

"I know things aren’t always easy, but no matter what, I’ll always be cheering you on. Let’s keep chasing our dreams together!"

Oh my——

My God, what a heartfelt message! My joy is overwhelming...… I...… I cannot hold back these tears..…! I am utterly moved beyond words!!!

Saki, your kindness and bright spirit always lift me up and give me strength! You are, without a doubt, the best little sister in the entire world~~!!!!!

Geez, you’re being so dramatic~

(Ehehe..… But I’m really glad he liked it.)

Okay, now Dad’s the only one left! Hope he gets home soon ♪

I got a message from him earlier. He said he’d be back soon.

Really? Then I’ll help make dinner!

I wanna make sure dinner’s all ready when Dad gets home!

In that case, I’ll help too!

Thanks, Big bro! Let’s cook up something delicious to welcome Dad home!
