Shall we have the cake soon?

I'm so excited to try this cake you've picked out, Setsu!

*Giggle* This year I prepared something special for everyone. A homemade cake! Wait here for a moment while I go bring it out!

S-Se-Setsuna's homemade cake?

Hm? What's the matter?

Uh, ummm…

Um, are you trying to say that Setsuna isn't all that good at baking?

Kotori, have you forgotten? About that time Nozomi told us about when Eli was scared helpless?

Oh…

I can't believe Setsu really chose to put all her energy into this part of the party.

*Laugh* Ah, well, I'm sure it'll be fine! And who knows? By some miracle, it might be tasty today.

Will there really be a miracle?

Everyone, I'm sorry about the wait! Here is my special Christmas cake!

This is the special Christmas cake?

I heard that your home cooking was something to be feared, but…

This looks amazing!

I promise it is delicious, so please help yourselves!

Go ahead, You.

What?! No no no, we should let the youngest girls go first. Ruby, go ahead.

Eeek!

Hanayo, go ahead!

Are you sure?

Everyone seems afraid to take the first bite, but I think it looks tasty no matter how you look at it!

Thank you for the cake! Om!

Hm?!

A-Are you okay?

It's good! It's really, really good! Come on, Ruby, you should try some too.

Uhhh… Om.

I-It's delicious!

Yeah, it's really good!

Setsu, you're amazing!

*Giggle* Actually, Kanata and Ayumu helped me out with baking this cake.

They told me that they really wanted to help make a cake for everyone here even though they couldn't come to the party themselves.

Kanata, Ayumu, thank you!

Oh, that reminds me, they asked for a photo of everyone enjoying the cake. Do you mind if I take one?

Oh, I've got an app that will let us give the photo the Christmas treatment, so let's use that!
