Kokoro
Our birthday concert for Kanon was sooo much fun!
Kaoru
Ahh... It was quite the fleeting performance...! The rhythm of Kanon's drums made smiles blossom in profusion.
Hagumi
Next, we'll make you smile at the birthday party, Kano-chan-senpai!
Kanon
Thank you. I'm happy just to celebrate my birthday with everyone.
Misaki
We're throwing the party after this, so let's hurry and change out of our costumes~.
Misaki
Hrm...? Kanon-san, something fell out of your bag.
Kanon
Ah! Thank you for picking it up for me, Misaki-chan.
Hagumi
Oh, my gosh! Kano-chan-senpai has an itsy-bitsy melon soda float!
Kokoro
I don't think a drink that small is for us. I know! It must be for a tiny person!
Kanon
Fufu, it's an eraser.
Hagumi
Really?
Kanon
Lately, I've been into erasers that look like food. They're so detailed and cute.
Kaoru
Ahh, they're truly fleeting. There's beauty in every detail...
Kokoro
What other kinds of erasers do you have?
Kanon
I have... Ah, yesterday I found a rice omelet one and a Hamburg steak one.
Misaki
These might go perfectly with some needle-felted animals. They're so cute and tiny.
Kanon
Fufufu. Depending on what you do with them, maybe they could be used as nice decorations.
Hagumi
Hey, are there croquette erasers?
Kanon
I don't think I've seen a croquette one yet.
Hagumi
I wanna beef croquette and a pumpkin croquette~!
Misaki
Wouldn't they look the same?
Kokoro
Kanon, I wanna hear aaall about the erasers you're collecting! Would you tell us more at the birthday party?
Kanon
Fufu, sure. First, you'll need to get changed.
Transcript
Aya
Ugh~, somehow I've managed to solve half of it~.
Kanon
Fufu, good job, Aya-chan.
Aya
Today's homework worksheet is too hard~. Thanks for helping me with it~!
Kanon
Fufu, I was a little surprised when you burst into my classroom asking me to help you study...
Kanon
It's a good thing I studied this part yesterday.
Aya
"Kanon"-chan, thank you...! What I had wanted to do was buy some cake with you so we could have a little late birthday party...
Kanon
It's okay. We can still go do that after we finish our homework, so don't worry.
Kanon
Besides, studying together like this makes me think of the time we made guidebooks for our sakura party and the One Hundred Poems Tournament.
Aya
Oh, I remember that! I hope we can do it again~.
Aya
... I've been meaning to ask you this, but is that eraser there in your pencil case... a strawberry shortcake?
Kanon
Yes. It's cute, so I like to carry it around.
Kanon
Lately, I've been collecting erasers that look like food.
Aya
Oh! I've seen them at the knick-knack shop. I've never bought any, though. Mind if I get a closer look?
Kanon
Fufu, here.
Aya
Wow~, the strawberries are so tiny! Everything is so detailed~. The pastel colors are super cute♪ It almost seems a shame to use something so nice.
Kanon
Yeah, I think so too, so I don't use it. I just enjoy looking at it.
Kanon
I bought these at the knick-knack shop last time too.
Aya
It's a little plate of Napolitan spaghetti and a set of octopus puffs! These are so neat~!
Kanon
Oh, and I found a croquette eraser too.
Aya
I think Hagumi-chan would love that!
Kanon
Fufu, I'm thinking of giving it to her the next time we have band practice.
Aya
I kind of want to get some now too~.
Kanon
Well, why don't we go buy some erasers after we finish our homework?
Aya
Huh?! Really?!
Kanon
Sure. I was hoping to go back to the knick-knack shop anyway to look for some fruit erasers.
Aya
I kind of feel like all you've been doing is helping me today. I'm going to work hard to finish my homework!
Aya
Alright! First, I'll finish this problem! Umm... "Next, find the first term and common difference of the following arithmetic progression"...
Aya
... U-umm~, Kanon-chan? I'm really sorry, but...
Kanon
Fufu, no worries. For that problem, if you use this formula...
