Oh, Setsuna! We're here to cheer you on!

My goodness, you came! Thank you very much!

Looks like you're doing quite well for yourself here.

Yes, I am so glad I asked for Ayumu's help. I don't think I would have been able to serve this many people by myself at all.

Now I understand just how incredible Kanata is at managing all of this on her own. She is definitely deserving of her scholarship.

The two of you aren't even in the same course as her, right? That makes the two of you rather incredible in your own right.

I think so, too. Just look at the smiles on the faces of everyone who's eaten your treats!

I'll bet there are some real foodies around here as well, so the fact that you've met their standards is really impressive!

I owe all of that to Kanata's recipe and Ayumu's help. I couldn't have possibly done this on my own.

You say that, but you wouldn't have participated if you weren't confident in your abilities, would you?

No, I had practically zero confidence.

But you still offered to stand in?

I saw how much work Kanata put into preparing for today…

I couldn't help but put myself in her shoes and imagine how sad I would feel to work so hard, yet not be able to present my final recipe.

I just knew I had to do something for her. I felt that it was my duty!

Sounds like you're all pretty close in your club too.

Of course, we're members of the same club, after all. And it's only natural to want to support anyone who was working as hard as she was.

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel.

Oh no, I lost myself in the conversation.

Please, go ahead and have some.

Thank…you?

Huh? This looks way different from what Ayumu was making…

Go on, don't be shy.

Oh, is it okay if I try it?

Yes. I just finished making it, and I'm really proud of how it came out!

Then I'll dig right in! *Chomp*

Urk?!

How does it taste?

E-Eek!

Ruby?!

H-Huh? Ruby?!

Oh! Setsuna, where did that cake come from?

Huh? Wh-What's going on? What just happened?
