Part 2: A Fancy Show and a Tasty Meal

Kathrina: …one thing led to another, and we’ve been dragged into something troublesome…

Shizuka: Hiiragi-san would have backed you up, so why didn’t you refuse?

Kathrina: But Kokona already agreed. I didn’t want to be the only one to refuse…

Kokona: Ah! Look, Kathrina-chan! I’ve found an article listing the best sakura viewing spots in the nearby park!

Kokona: Woah! It looks so beautiful! See, so many sakura trees in full bloom.

Kathrina: …true. They really are beautiful.

Kokona: Alright, then here we have our viewing spot! What else was on our list?

Shizuka: Coming up with entertainment and preparing a meal?

Kokona: A meal… What would be an appropriate meal for such an occasion?

Kokona: Something like the seasonal dango Sasuga-chan mentioned? Here, “Dango More Exciting than Blossoms! Try Out Ten Different Kinds of Dango!”

Shizuka: Ten different kinds sure would make for a hearty meal. But if it’s only dango, won’t everyone get tired of them pretty fast?

Kokona: I guess…

Kokona: What else could we make, I wonder? Kathrina-chan, maybe there’s something you’d like to eat?

Kathrina: M-me?! Well… Not really. Maybe just make lunch boxes for everyone?

Kokona: Lunch boxes! I remember making them for the Athletics Festival! Back then it was so much fun to have lunch with everyone!

Kathrina: Y-yeah. The lunch boxes you prepared for us included so many dishes. They were very tasty.

Kathrina: This time I would like to help you too. If we’re cooking together, it should be easier.

Kokona: Really?! Thanks!~ Fufu, thinking of cooking together reminds me of the move-in party.

Kathrina: When we cooked Schnitzel, huh? But since then we’ve been cooking together many times when on duty.

Kokona: Yeah! But! That was our first time doing it together, so of course it was special!

Kathrina: Oh… was it?

Shizuka: Kathrina, did you forget how you set off the fire alarm?

Kathrina: H-hey, shut up!

Kokona: Fufu, let’s be more careful this time.

Kokona: Then, lunch boxes are our meal of choice!

Kokona: What’s left is entertainment… In other words, we have to put on some kind of show, right?

Shizuka: Only if you take Panda’s word for it.

Kokona: A show, what could that be… Kathrina-chan, maybe you have some hidden talents?

Kathrina: Of course I don’t, I ain’t Sasuga.

Kokona: Fair enough. I also can’t do anything special…

Shizuka: Maybe try looking it up? Probably you’ll find some ideas, like with the viewing spots.

Kokona: Good idea! How to entertain people at sakura viewing, search…

Shizuka: How is it?

Kokona: Let’s see, “Top Five Entertainment Ideas for Sakura Viewing.” Here they have belly dancing, short performances, imitation, magic tricks, and comedy.

Kathrina: All of them are absolutely horrendous.

Kokona: Ahaha, I guess. Now, what do we do.

Shizuka: Kathrina, didn’t you have any house parties back in Germany? I often hear about them. Looks like such fancy parties are pretty common overseas.

Kathrina: Yeah, Mama used to hold parties inviting World Dai Stars and other celebrities and famous actors.

Kokona: Woah! Like a true foreign celebrity!

Kathrina: But there weren’t anything like short performances. And I ain’t the type to party with classmates.

Kokona: I see, so that’s how it is…

Kathrina: We’ll eat the meal and then just play some game, I guess. The “entertainment” part was something Panda came up with without much thought anyway.

Kokona: Well, that may be true, but…

Kathrina: Is there something you want to do?

Kokona: Well… It’s not like there’s something in particular, but…

Kokona: No, like you said, let’s enjoy the lunch and play a game together…

Panda: …hold on a sec!!!
