Shio's Valentine's gift from Kafka-chan
made her happy and warm inside, but...
What
should I give her in return...?

I want her to enjoy it in the best possible situation...
Hm...?

Rape blossom field.
Best viewed in the middle of March.
It's within train distance from the school.

That's a pretty good location, isn't it?

Kafka-chan.
You wanna try going here?
?

A flower field...
They say next week is the best time to view it.
That's just perfect then.

March 14th.
Would that work?

She's pressing me.
She's pressing me for a return gift...!
I guess that'd work.

But first, I need to decide what to give her.

White Day.
Return gifts.
List.

white day return gift
cookies - candy
macarons - cake
caramel - chocolate

That's more than I expected.

The staples are snacks.
Accessories and... bags!?
That's heavy...!

Kafka-chan probably likes snacks, so maybe I should go with those...?

The image Kafka-chan gives off
is cute yet mature.

Shio-san's burning gaze...
Something stylish.

Hrmmm...

That's it...!
?

Good day.
Oh, Amamiya-san.
Otome-chan.
I forgot something...

You seem cheerful.

Is it because the end-of-term exams are over?
Fufu...
There is that,
but it's mostly because today's White Day.

So you're giving someone a return gift, huh?
Kya
That's right~?

I found something really cute.
I'm looking forward to handing it over.
...

Could you give me a rough idea was it is?
Just to be safe.
Eh?

A jar of gummies.
Pretty stylish, no?

Gummies are bad!
Eh?

They're certainly stylish and I wanna eat them too,
but they're really bad when it comes to White Day!
Really?
Wah

Look up the meaning of White Day return gifts!

Gummies = I hate you.
There are meanings to the gifts you give!?

It's more of a technicality.
But I did so much preparation...
There's a chance that Kaf-... the recipient will look the meaning up on the web and get downhearted.

Thank you, Otome-chan.
For now, I'd better send a text.
Yummy...

A date with Shio-san in a field of rape blossoms.

But still, she's late.
She said she was just going back for something she forgot.

Sorry, Kafka-chan.
Go on ahead of me.

Shio-san, you dummy...

Please wait, Amamiya-san!
Sorry, Otome-chan.
I promised to go to a flower field...
and give my return gift there.

That's why I need to find a new present right away.
In that case.
You could just explain the situation and give it later...
You could make the scenery the return gift
and then take your time choosing something else...

Otome-chan.

I've already
kept her waiting long enough.

Otome-chan?

I've looked up some recommended stores in the area.
Please use that as reference.
Just how good are you!?
