Our Girl's Day event plans are really starting to come together!

Yeah! Thank you two so much for helping out.

When my mom first asked me to help with the festival, I was really nervous about doing everything myself. Thanks to you guys, I'm really looking forward to it now, though!

I'm sure we all feel the same! I'm excited for the festival, but I'm having lots of fun planning the events with you guys right now.

Yep! Let's work together to make the Girl's Day a huge success!

Yeah!

Oh, some kids are playing in the park. Um, they seem unhappy, though…

I don't wanna be an empress…

Empresses are supposed to be cute, but I HATE cute. I wanna be COOL!

!

…………

I had no idea… I never realized some kids might want to dress differently…

Me neither. I didn't design the costumes with those sorts of kids in mind. It never even occurred to me…

There might be kids at the kindergarten who want to be cool too…

Yeah… What can we do to make sure EVERYONE has fun at the festival?

Kotori! Hanayo! I know what we can do for the kids' empress and emperor costumes!

Just do away with the two costume sets and let them choose the kind of empress or emperor they want to be!

Though, um, I'm not sure it's a good idea. Everyone's already so busy, and it'll, ummm…put a lot more pressure on Kotori…

Not at all. I think it's a great idea, Kasumi.

Yeah! Your idea is perfect. This way, we can be sure all the kids have a wonderful time!

Awww…thanks, guys…

I'd better start designing the new costumes right away! Hmmm…I should leave this fabric here…but change the shape ever so slightly…

Keep the overall design as simple as possible…leave some room for fun, let the kids mix and match as they like, and… Okay, done!

Or…it's a start, at least. What do you guys think?

Wow! This design will let everyone create the empress or emperor they want to be!

Oh my gosh, Kotori! You came up with an awesome new design in seconds. You're a literal genius!

Not at all! I've still got a lot of modifications to make.

Anyway, I'll text the girls about the new costumes.

Thanks, Kotori! I'll explain the change to everyone at the next meeting, too.

Yep, we can explain it together. Let me know if you two come up with any design ideas in the meantime!
