Hagumi
Hii-chan, Tomo-chin, good job with rehearsal today~! Here you go! The croquettes and fried meat cakes you've been waiting for~!
Himari
Thanks, Hagu! Mmm, croquettes are the best after practice as always!
Tomoe
The fried meat cake is pretty good too. Here, want a bite?
Himari
Wah~, don't tempt me, Tomoe! I'm on a diet right now! I'm only allowed to eat a certain amount of food every day.
Tomoe
... Says the person stuffing her face with a croquette.
Hagumi
Hii-chan, make sure you come by tomorrow too! And bring Kaoru-kun and Mii-kun with you!
Himari
I hope Kaoru-senpai and Misaki-chan can join us tomorrow. They stayed behind today to do a final check for the singing parts.
Tomoe
Makes sense. The show is coming up really soon. It's time for me to get fired up too!
Himari
And I have acting practice with the theater club tomorrow! I plan to work as hard as I can, so I can get even better at performing!
Hagumi
Yep, White Day is right around the corner! Gotta prepare! Hm... Hmm~...
Hagumi
White Day, White Day... Hmm~, what to do...?
Himari
H-Hagu? Is something wrong?
Hagumi
Uhm, so... You know how lots of stores are having White Day specials right now?
Tomoe
Yeah... Now that you mention it, a bunch of them are doing something for the holiday.
Hagumi
Exactly~! I heard that the knick-knack stop over there stocked up on White Day items!
Tomoe
Interesting... That sweets shop is using some special, limited-time wrap too.
Himari
Ah! The white and blue bouquets they have in front of that flower shop are so cute~! Wow, they've got the perfect White Day vibe going!
Hagumi
I know, right?! It looks like everyone's having so much fun! Whenever there's something like this happening, downtown really comes alive~!
Hagumi
That's why I want us to have a special too...
Himari
But your shop just sells meat, right? What could a store like that do for White Day?
Tomoe
Yeah, I haven't seen a store that sells meat have a White Day special before.
Hagumi
Neither have I~!
Hagumi
But still! We didn't do anything for Valentine's Day, and we're not doing anything now either...
Hagumi
Christmas chicken is the only seasonal item we have going for us! That's so boring~!
Hagumi
Even people who sell meat want to enjoy different holidays and events!
Hagumi
So, Tomo-chin, Hii-chan, can you help me think of something?!
Tomoe
Hmm~, White Day for people who sell meat, huh? I wonder what would work...
Himari
Meat... Ah, I know! Couldn't you do a hamburg steak in the shape of a heart?
Himari
And if you use ketchup, you could draw even more hearts on it. That'd be such a romantic dinner!
Hagumi
Wow, Hii-chan~! While we're at it, we can make them super jumbo sized! That'd be so much cuter!
Tomoe
That's... romantic...?
Himari
You don't think so~...? Ah, okay! What about instead of ketchup, you use white sauce?! Wouldn't that make it feel like White Day?!
Hagumi
Oh, alright! Yeah, that does feel more like the holiday!
Hagumi
And to go with it, we'll make the cream croquettes half-price! That works too, right?!
Tomoe
Nah, that's pretty much just a regular sale, Hagumi. Not to mention, you already do that on normal days sometimes too.
Himari
Aww~. Okay, so what do you think she should do, Tomoe?
Tomoe
Let's see... Instead of doing the half-price thing, why don't you try making a special, White Day cream croquette or something like that?
Hagumi
Amazing idea, Tomo-chin! And then, people who buy two of those can get a third one for free!
Himari
Y-you're back to making it a sale again, Hagu! And hey, my hamburg steak was pretty much the same idea, Tomoe~!
Himari
You know, with all this talking about cream croquettes, now I really want one~!
Tomoe
Ahaha, didn't you just eat? What happened to all that diet stuff you were going on about~?
Tomoe
... And I know I'm giving you a hard time, but I actually want one too.
Hagumi
Woo~! You guys should eat up! They're freshly made and yummy for your tummy!
Himari
Heyyy, that's so mean~! You can't say that and expect me to not eat one~!
Tomoe
Hagumi, two cream croquettes, please!
Hagumi
Coming right up~! Ehehe, thank you for your purchase~!

Hagumi
Marina-san! BanG Dreamer-san!
Marina
Ah, Hagumi-chan! Hey. Your finger must be okay now, huh?
Hagumi
Mhm! It's all better! The doc said it's good to go too!
Marina
Really?! You girls have rehearsal today, don't you? It's a good thing you can play the bass again!
Hagumi
Yeah, I know, right~?! I've been all excited about it since yesterday~!
Hagumi
... Huh? Oh, that's true! I don't think I told BanG Dreamer-san about how you injured your finger!
Hagumi
Oh, you don't know~? Well~, my finger kinda popped during softball practice.
Hagumi
That's okay! Thanks for worrying, BanG Dreamer-san!
Marina
You weren't allowed to move it, right?
Hagumi
Mhm... But it only took like two weeks to heal, and it wasn't that bad of an injury...
Hagumi
... But that was around the time when Kaoru-kun asked me to be in her musical.
Hagumi
And since I hurt myself, I couldn't play the bass... So I couldn't be in the show...
Hagumi
Kaoru-kun left me with a job, and I made everything harder for her...
Marina
Hagumi-chan...
Hagumi
She didn't get mad at all though. Actually, she was worried.
Hagumi
And when we were alone, she said she knew I was giving my all during softball practice, so I shouldn't feel bad about hurting myself.
Hagumi
That even though she's disappointed about not being able to perform together, she's proud that I tried my best!
Marina
... Oh, I see. Kaoru-san's always so sweet.
Hagumi
Yep! She's so amazing. She's really cool and super nice!
Hagumi
She can take a performance and make it lots of fun with her awesome singing, acting, and guitar playing!
Marina
Fufu, you really enjoyed yourself, huh? That's nice, I wish I could've seen it too.
Hagumi
Mhm! I was having such a good time, I wanted to be on stage with them!
Hagumi
If she ever invites me to be in a show again, I'm definitely gonna take part in it!
Marina
Fufu, sounds exciting. That sure seems like a full plate though, having to play an instrument, dance, and act!
Hagumi
Ngh, I don't think I'm so good at keeping my lines in my head... But I am good at moving my body!
Hagumi
That's why when I get on stage, it'll be for an action scene, where I can be like, "Wham, bam!"
Hagumi
If that ever happens, you guys should come too, okay~?!
