I'm glad we found such cute pouches. And they're matching, Shizuka-chan!

Shizuka
That's all you've been talking about today. No matter what we look for, it's always "matching this" and "matching that".

Kokona
Because it makes me happy. When we like the same things, we can share the same joy, right?

Shizuka
Like how both of us like Yae-chan?

Kokona
Exactly! That's why both of us are happy when Yae-chan succeeds!

Kokona
When we have matching things we like, it's more fun than being alone.

Shizuka
That's because it's Yae-chan, isn't it? Is having matching pouches really that fun?

Kokona
I think it's fun! Every time I look at the pouch, I'll remember going shopping with Shizuka-chan and how fun it was.

Shizuka
I suppose that's one way to look at it...

Kokona
Yes, yes! There are many ways to preserve memories besides photos and videos.

Shizuka
We should have at least gotten different colors, or we'll mix them up eventually.

Kokona
Hmm, Shizuka-chan is such a realist...

Kokona
...Ah, but accidentally exchanging them without noticing might be fun too?

Shizuka
Fufu. I didn't realize you'd be so fond of simple matching pouches.

Kokona
Ehehe, I'm so happy that I'm going to take a selfie with the pouch. Come on, Shizuka-chan, hold up your pouch too?

Shizuka
Didn't you just say memories aren't only about photos and videos?

Kokona
That's that, and this is this!

Shizuka
Alright, alright. Is this good?

Kokona
...Yes, it came out nicely. Look, Shizuka-chan. Commemorating our matching pouches!

Shizuka
So we've successfully preserved the memory. I'm glad if it makes you happy.

Kokona
Then let's take one more. Can we take one without the pouches?

Shizuka
What memory are you trying to preserve this time? If it's to commemorate having tea at this café, we've already done that.

Kokona
Fufufu. Shizuka-chan might not have noticed, but we have other matching items too. Hint: it's right under your nose.

Shizuka
Right under my nose...? You mean our shoes or socks?

Kokona
Bzzt, wrong. Look carefully at our necks in the photo we just took.

Shizuka
Hmm? Our necks...

Shizuka
...Oh, you mean the pendants we gave each other for Christmas?

Kokona
They're different colors, but they're matching too. So we need to take a photo of our matching pendants!

Shizuka
Now that you mention it, you took photos when we bought matching bracelets too...

Kokona
We can preserve as many memories as we want. Here, I'm taking the photo~.

Kokona
Ta-da! Commemorating all our matching items! When we line them up like this, isn't it nice to have the same things?

Shizuka
...I wasn't even conscious of it until now...

Kokona
What's wrong, Shizuka-chan?

Shizuka
...No, it's just. Realising we've been matching all this time suddenly makes me conscious of people looking at us...

Kokona
Ehehe. Right? Matching items are so nice. Today I'm matching with Shizuka-chan all day~♪.

Shizuka
S-Shouldn't we head back to Sirius Bath soon? We've finished shopping, haven't we...?

Kokona
Let's do that. Then I'll pay the bill-oh.

Shizuka
What...?

Kokona
We still have time, so shall we shop a little more? I want to look for clothes that would suit both Shizuka-chan and me.

Shizuka
W-Wait, Kokona. Don't tell me you're going to-

Kokona
I know you're not a big fan of twin coordination and the like?

Kokona
But we'll just look. Just looking is fine, right? Is that...not okay?

Shizuka
U-Umm, well...
