Today was a rehearsal day.

Since I arrived a little early,
I decided to bring some treats
for everyone.

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku

"Ufufu...
I hope everyone enjoys them."

πŸŒƒ

On the table, I placed:

Baked sweets.

Macarons.

Chocolates.

Fruit tarts.

πŸŒƒ

🧑 Hinata

"WOOOOOW!!!"

πŸŒƒ

As expected,
Hinata-chan was the first to arrive.

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka

"Wait.
That's enough desserts
to open a shop."

πŸŒƒ

🩷 Aine

"Amazing...!"

πŸŒƒ

🎧 Rei

"......"

πŸŒƒ

Meanwhile,

Rei-san quietly secured
the chocolates.

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"Rei-san,
you like sweet things,
don't you?"

πŸŒƒ

🎧 Rei
"...Not really."

πŸŒƒ

It was her second chocolate.

πŸŒƒ

After that,

we all enjoyed the treats
while chatting together.

πŸŒƒ

🩷 Aine
"Shizuku-chan,
which shop are these from?"

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"The one near the station."

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"Wait...
THE luxury shop?"

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"Yes."

πŸŒƒ

πŸŒƒ

πŸŒƒ

The room suddenly went silent.

πŸŒƒ

🧑 Hinata
"Huh?"

🩷 Aine
"Huh?"

🎧 Rei
"...That place?"

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"Shizuku.
How much did all of this cost?"

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"Eh?"

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"Eh?"

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"I don't know."

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"YOU DON'T KNOW!?"

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"I asked the staff
to recommend something for me."

πŸŒƒ

The room became silent again.

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"...?"

πŸŒƒ

Apparently,

she genuinely had no idea
why everyone was surprised.

πŸŒƒ

After that,

we all enjoyed everything together.

πŸŒƒ

But before heading homeβ€”

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"Shizuku,
next time let's set a budget."

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"A budget...?"

πŸŒƒ

🩡 Ruka
"Yes.
A budget."

πŸŒƒ

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"Ufufu.
Understood."

πŸŒƒ

...She probably didn't.
