I can't wait to have a picnic by the cherry blossoms. I wonder if any have bloomed yet.

I hope so! I think the cherry blossoms are excited to greet you too, Rina.

Really? Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

We'll finally get to meet!

[Fade in/out.]

Wow! They're beautiful!

Shizuku! Rina! I've been waiting forever for you to show up!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

The cherry blossom buds were cute, but the flowers in bloom are just so breathtaking, as always!

The whole area is covered in pink. Isn't it beautiful, Dia?

It truly is.

What awe-inspiring beauty.

Did you know that cherry blossoms require a change in temperature to bloom?

Blossoms as beautiful as these can only appear after overcoming the cold, harsh winter.

We must be grateful that Japan has four distinct seasons.

A flower that gains its beauty by withstanding the cold, huh… This cherry tree must've withstood many winters too.

It's the moment we've been waiting for, you guys.

The moment we've been waiting for? What is it?

See for yourself!

They're cherry blossom picnic lunches!

Wow! You've brought so many. Did you make them all yourself, Rina?

Yeah. But I'm not confident in my cooking skills, so I asked Nozomi for help this morning.

I'm really happy we're having a cherry blossom picnic together!

Eat lots, okay?

Rina-chi, you put so much care into making these lunches. I just know that you'll keep getting better and better at cooking.

Thanks, Nozomi! Rina-chan Board says, “Blush.”

They're really heartfelt lunches, huh. Let's dig right in!

…

Is something the matter, Shizuku?

Um, did you not like your lunch?

Maybe the Cherry Blossom Fairy hates it when people eat lunch under her trees…

Oh! Sorry, I was lost in thought… I absolutely do not think that the Cherry Blossom Fairy would get mad about that. Don't worry.

Really? Thank goodness.

I was trying to feel these emotions from the cherry trees' perspective… The joy of the flowers blooming, and the joy of everyone coming to visit.

*Giggle* Sounds like you're getting closer to becoming the Cherry Blossom Fairy.

Yes. I didn't realize how much happiness comes from seeing everyone gathered under the cherry blossoms and enjoying themselves.

I think I'm slowly starting to understand how the cherry blossoms feel.
