Hello.

Thank you for coming such a long way, Dia.

Thank you for having me. Um, we may be a little noisy today, so I would like to have a word with your family first, if possible.

Indeed. Please allow me to meet with them as well.

Thank you for your kind concern, but there's no need for that. Everyone is out today.

And actually… Um, sorry for asking you two to come a little early. There is actually a reason for that.

Shioriko. I believe I know the reason, considering it's you, Dia, and me who are here early.

Would it perhaps be to decide who to assign to food plating, cake styling, and room decorating duties?

Your keen observation is much appreciated.

I figured as much, since I was planning on mentioning it when it came time to assign duties.

Shall the three of us observe as the remaining three girls take on the respective duties?

[Fade in/out.]

All righty then! I'm gonna decorate this cake like a pro!

Umi! Leave all of the room decorations to your trusty head of decorations—me!

All I gotta do is plate up the stuff here? Talk about a cinch!

Right then, let us get right into it!

Okay!

[Fade in/out.]

Oh my gosh! There are SO many mikan oranges right in front of me! What a beautiful sight!

Chika, you mustn't snack on them.

Awww… But there are so many of them! One itty-bitty one wouldn't hurt…

What ever shall I do with you? You may have one if there are any left once you've finished decorating. Remember—IF there are any left.

Yay! Awww yeeeah, I'm gonna do my best!

I've been watching cake decorating videos to study ever since we decided on a mikan one.

I've even drawn pictures to brainstorm what decorations might look good!

So keep a close eye on me, Dia! I'm gonna decorate this cake so perfectly you won't know what kind of mikan hit you!

Since when were you ever so zealous about studying?

*Sigh* If only you approached your school studies with even half of that passion…

Not nooow, Dia! Save all of that study talk for later!

We're having a Christmas party today, so let's enjoy ourselves!

You're right. I suppose it is rather tactless to mention such things during today's festivities.

Oh, Chika. I believe it would look better if you shifted that a little more to the right!
