Hey, Riko! How was the recital yesterday? I really wanted to go.

I was surprised that Yoshiko and Karin brought me flowers, but I feel like I performed better than expected because of their support. I had a lot of fun playing with Maki.

You got flowers? I'm so happy for you.

Heh… But of course! The jet-black wings I chose for you allowed you to soar that day!

Huh? Jet-black wings? You mean the flowers?

Yeah. They gave me a bouquet of black lilies.

Wonderful, is it not? I picked the perfect flowers for Lili.

What?! I don't think you're supposed to give black flowers… I'm glad your recital wasn't cursed, Riko.

Well, that's because I didn't get the flowers until after the recital was over.

H-Hey! What do you mean by that?!

I mean, who else would have gifted someone black flowers for an important recital.

Heh heh heh… But of course! For I, Yohane, am one of a kind!

Yup. And that was certainly a one-of-a-kind bouquet.

Riko?

The bouquets you normally see at florists are gentle colors like pink or yellow, right?

I was shocked to see you'd brought me black lilies, but it was a clear indication that you really picked those flowers out just for me.

So that's why I want to say… Sorry, Yoshiko!

Huh? F-For what?

For being surprised when you first gave me that bouquet.

I feel bad that I couldn't understand where you were coming from right away.

Wh-What are you talking about?! It was your magnificent performance with Maki that allowed those jet-black wings to soar!

Thank you, Yoshiko!

Wow, you two are really close! Seems like Yoshiko chose the right flowers after all.
