Kotaro
Wait, Akito, I thought you were done training!


Kohane, An, Toya & Kotaro
Bye!

Akito
I'm still sticking to my regular training routine. Also, I sort of felt like running a little more than usual today.

Ena
Most people get bloodshot eyes when they cry, but you take out your frustration or anger by rubbing so hard that it's your skin that turns red instead.

Ena
To be fair, I had to look pretty closely before I noticed. You don't look nearly as bad as you did that other time.

Ena
When you just started to sing and perform. You should've seen the look on your face. I decided to just leave you be.

An's Father
No, that should do it. Feel free to relax and enjoy yourselves now.

Kotaro
Hey!


Tatsuya
We decided to accept your invitation since it's important to take breaks from time to time.


Arata
I was actually a little hesitant since I'm not a regular here...


An's Father
An and her team invited you all, right? That means you're more than welcome.


Arata
Thank you, Ken...


An's Father
Now, let me take this opportunity to ask all of you. Who wants some of our special Christmas honey waffles?


Kotaro
Us too!


An's Father
Hahaha. I guess you're all craving something sweet.


Arata
Haha. To be fair, Akito's probably the only one here with a real sweet tooth.


Arata
Yes. It's always nice to have something sweet whenever you feel tired. And it serves as a nice reward for myself.


Arata
However, Akito, you seem to enjoy having sweets regardless of the situation.


Kotaro
Hang on. Is that why you run so much?


Tatsuya
Later? So you still end up eating it?


Kohane & An
Hehe. Hahahaha.

*Clink*

Regulars
Cheers!


An's Father
Okay, sugar connoisseurs, your honey waffles are ready! Can someone carry them over for me?


Regular A
Yeah! 'Tis the season! Nice idea, An!


Regular B
Especially since you've gathered a bunch of good singers together. Let's hear it!


Arata
An seems awfully excited.

Akito
Also, she was pretty busy taking orders and serving everyone until just a second ago. I've gotta think that she's been looking forward to some free time.

*Cafe Bell*

Taiga
Whoa, this place is packed.


An's Father
Hey, I'm not serving alcohol during the middle of the day. You'll just have to make do with coffee.


Taiga
Fine.

*Footsteps*

Taiga
Hey, you're here.


Taiga
Looks like you feel a lot better now.


Taiga
You don't need to thank me. I just felt like talking is all.


Taiga
Also, I'm sure that others are more worried about your well-being.


Taiga
If I didn't say anything, I have a feeling that they would have.


Taiga
Hey, buck up. It's Christmas, isn't it?!


Taiga
Hahaha!


Taiga
You're young, so you're allowed to feel lost and ask others for help. I say use that privilege as much as you can.
