The strawberries you picked are so big and beautiful, Shizuku!

Why thank you! I went looking for the particularly large ones.

But the ones I picked are bigger, you know.

Wow, they really are! Mia, you're a strawberry-picking prodigy!

My, they look so tasty and large! Though mine are much redder and sweeter, I'd wager.

Hmph! Mine are obviously the sweeter berries.

*Chuckle* Then why don't we feed each other strawberries?

Feed…each other?

Yep! I'll feed you, you can feed Mia, and Mia'll feed me.

That way, we can all try berries that everyone else picked then share our opinions!

Sure, why not.

Okay, let's hop to it! I'll go first. Here you go, Shizuku! Get ready…

Aah… *Munch* *Munch* Mmm! It's so sweet and delicious!

Great! Here, have another. Open wiiide…

No fair! Why should Shizuku get all of them?

*Giggle* Sorry! You were next, weren't you? All right, Mia. Here you are…

Aah… *Munch* *Munch* Hmm, not bad.

It's great, huh? Then it's Riko's turn next.

Right. Okay, down the hatch!

Aah… Mm! Mia, that strawberry you gave me is sooo good!

Of course it is. I picked it.

*Sigh* If the strawberries are this delicious on their own, the desserts that we make from them will be positively decadent.

That reminds me, we still haven't decided what we're going to make. What kinds of treats are there at a dessert buffet?

Cakes and tarts are an absolute must. Aside from those, perhaps cream puffs or jelly or…

I'd like to have some macarons too. Oh! And you can't call it a dessert buffet unless there's chocolate fondue!

Marvelous! In that case, I think we should use the strawberries that Riko picked as cake decorations. Their shape is so pleasing.

The color and fragrance of the ones that Mia found are both great, so they'd probably be perfect for macarons!

Your strawberries would work well in tarts, Shizuku. They're so flavorful that they wouldn't be overpowered by the sweetness of the custard.

Okay! Then let's put our heads together and figure out which desserts to make with which berries!

Yes, I couldn't agree more!
