Dia! Do you want to see the photos from our cherry blossom picnic?

Yes, of course! I'll take a look right away.

Here's a picture from after Shizuku's play ended. That play really was a big hit!

She played such a compassionate, warm-hearted Cherry Blossom Fairy… The role suited Shizuku perfectly.

She made the role her own even though she had no lines, which was exactly what I'd expect of her.

Oh my. This is a picture of the picnic lunch Rina made for us, isn't it? It was so delicious.

I believe she said you helped with it, Nozomi. Did you two make it together?

Nope. I just gave her some pointers on cooking and passed along some advice on how to present it. Rina-chi's the one who actually made it.

She got up so early that it was still dark out and worked hard to make everything. Rina-chi looked so happy that we all loved the food.

Her feelings really did come through in the food she made.

Next we have this picture of Nico-chi and Yoshiko doing their signature poses. And here's one of you looking entranced by the cherry blossoms!

You took this many pictures? I didn't notice at all.

Heh heh heh! Didn't I get such cute shots of everyone? Are you amazed by my photography skills?

Oh! If we're speaking of that, you're not the only one.

What? Only one what?

Here's a photo I took of you, Nozomi. In this picture, you're smiling very happily as you look at everyone.

What? I didn't realize you were taking photos of me!

You looked so very happy, I just had to. *Giggle* Don't you think I captured a great shot too?

So that's the kind of face I made when I was looking at everyone. *Giggle* It's embarrassing, but…thank you, Dia.

*Chuckle* I've got such a dopey smile on my face. I wonder if that's because the cherry blossoms were just that beautiful.

*Giggle* Your smile is lovely. I can't wait until we can go look at the cherry blossoms again next year.

Yes! Next year and the year after that… I hope we can all go and look at them together forever!
