This is bliss. Bread really does taste of pure euphoria. Don't you think, Eli?

*Chuckle* You've got crumbs on your face, Kasumi. Let me get that for you.

*Giggle* You're so kind, Eli.

Now, I'd like you to listen to what I'm about to say, Kasumi. Can you do that?

What's the matter? You might not be nearly as cute as me, but that serious expression of yours is really beautiful, you know!

Th-Thanks. You're making me blush.

I mean…! We've almost completely lost sight of our most important goal today!

I know, I know! You mean how we're supposed to pick out a present for Maki, right?

We should be heading over to the concert hall soon. Now's not the time to be wolfing down bre–

Heh heh heh! Do you really think all I'm doing is chowing down on bread?

Y-Yep, that's what it looks like.

I don't have much time, but I'll still choose the best present ever! I'm great under pressure, the greatest school idol around!

Come with me, Eli! Let's step on it!

Kasumi?! Where are you going?!

[Fade in/out.]

Wow… These flowers are gorgeous!

I found this wonderful florist on my way to the bakery this morning! Doesn't it look just like some fancy place you'd find on a street corner in France?

Maki's a real fancy-pants too, so I think this will totally suit her!

I was just thinking that I'd want flowers if it were me. Thanks, Kasumi. Let's find some flowers that'll suit Maki.

Flowers are a pretty standard gift, but we can make this a contest of who has the best taste in flowers!

There are so many beautiful flowers to choose from… Marguerite daisies and sunflowers would make cute bouquets. Oh, but buttercups and roses would be nice and colorful, too.

So you're a flower expert too, huh? I gotta find something, too… Oh! This is it!

Eli! These baby's-breaths are just perfect! Let's see what it says here. “Baby's-breaths, known as Kasumi grass in Japan, work well as a filler for your centerpiece…”

Wait, who are you calling filler?!

Hm? Did you say something?

No, uh, nothing! Heheh…

I want to have them arrange the perfect bouquet for Maki, but I just can't decide on which flowers to use…

It looks like Eli's having some trouble. Time for me to show off my skills!

Maki gives off this whole cool, calm, and sophisticated vibe, but she's more of a romantic than you think.

So maybe if we looked at the language of flowers, or… Oh! I know! Each month has its own birth flower, right? How about that?

Her birth flower! That sounds great! Let's go with that.

[Fade in/out.]

So apparently, Maki's birth flower is a delphinium. Now that I think about it, those really are just oozing with Maki energy, huh?

Indeed, they have such a lovely, refreshing look to them. Thank you, Kasumi! We wouldn't have this amazing bouquet if it weren't for you.

*Giggle* I did what I could. Now let's get going to the concert hall!

Yes, let's! I can't wait for the recital!
