Somehow... I seem to have missed Valentine's Day. I remember I was going to run by the store, but things get a little fuzzy...

[Yeah, her memories after getting hit by that arrow? Are so hazy she's pretty certain it was all just a dream. But maybe that's for the best.]

I was planning to give out chocolates, but it seems like I forgot to do that as well. Would anybody mind if I gave it to them today? I apologize for being late. I bought some extras, too, so even if we haven't met before, I don't mind sharing. Just let me know and I would be happy to give you one.

[And, as almost an afterthought-]

It sounds like almost everybody received coupons for a dinner for two. I was thinking, it might be nice if everyone went in a group. If we use the coupons for a pair of people each, we could use half of the coupons on one trip and then the other half for a second group dinner somewhere else. It would be a great way for everyone to relax and enjoy spending time with each other. Would anybody else be interested in doing this?

I suppose... there's no use in beating around the bush.

[She holds out the box.]

Thank you so much for being my friend here, Asuno.

[And he accepts it.]

Eheh... Really, I should be the one thanking you.

Don't thank me quite yet... The chocolate seemed okay to me, but I'm not sure if it will suit everyone's tastes....

[She's never really done the chocolate thing herself before, having usually just bought obligation chocolates.

If he does try them however, he will find that they are... not bad! Though she had no experience with making chocolate, the fact that she can meticulously follow directions definitely helped her in the effort.]

I'm sure it'll be okay. Thanks.

Ah... W-well then...

[...What do you do when you are invited into a boy's house? She hasn't actually found herself in this situation before.]

...Um. So...

[He's not sure what to do either.]

Th-the weather's been nice, hasn't it...?

Huh? Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it has, hasn't it?

It's been nice, being able to spend some time outdoors. I have to set aside time for homework and training of course, but whenever I have a spare moment I've found the park in Capricorn can be relaxing.

I know what you mean. I head over there regularly myself. That's where the Nadesico's parked, so I go there every few days to keep my mobile suit ready to launch.

The Nadesico... Ah! You mean that large, umm... Ship?

[It's... a ship, isn't it?]

Yeah. It's one hell of a spaceship, even by my world's standards. The Gundam AGE-2 is stored aboard.

It did look quite large, but I never got too close to it.

[She wasn't ever sure if it was exactly allowed...]

Really? How come?

I suppose I just never knew if the owner would mind, so I tried to leave it be.

Mind? The captain is allowing girls to use it as a dorm. I don't think she'd mind unless you went out of bounds.

Ah, is that so? Then maybe I'll go and see next time.

Who is the captain, by the way?

Ruri Hoshino. Do you know her?

No, I don't.

Okay. She's about our age. Pale skin and hair, with gold eyes. Usually wears her hair in twintails.

[She thinks about it for a moment before remembering-]

Ah- I think I may have seen her around before.

[Nod.]

She spends most of her time around the ship, far as I know. But she comes into town occasionally.

Then I will be sure to keep a look out for her from now on.
