Two months had passed since Valentine’s Day, and the winter had given way to melting snow. Spring had arrived, and the Sakura tree had blossomed, bringing the trees back to life. During their break, Hikaru, Zul, and Kitamura decided to hang out on the school rooftop. They enjoyed the pleasant spring breeze and fresh air, while their girlfriends helped their homeroom teacher in the faculty office.
Hikaru looked up at the clear blue sky and smiled. He felt happy as he took in the sun, the birdsong, and the gentle breeze. He turned to his friends and said, “Wow, it’s such a beautiful day today. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the breeze feels so refreshing. “
Zul nodded in agreement, stretching his arms and taking a deep breath. He felt the clean air fill his lungs and relaxed his shoulders. He said, “Yeah, it feels great to be out here. The air is so fresh and clean. I can breathe more easily. “
Kitamura sniffed the air and smiled. He caught a faint scent of flowers and grass. He loved the smell of spring, as it reminded him of nature’s vitality and beauty. He said, “I agree. I love the smell of spring. It’s like everything is waking up after a long sleep. “
Hikaru nodded, looking around at the green leaves, colorful flowers, and buzzing insects. He felt a connection to nature and the sense of renewal it brought. He said, “I couldn’t agree more. Spring is my favorite season. Everything feels new and beautiful. “
“Oh, you guys are here! “Exclaimed Mizuha as she suddenly appeared alongside Elly and Shimizu. Hikaru, taken aback, asked, “Huh, what are you guys doing here? I thought you were helping Mr. Akihiko. “Elly replied, “We finished helping him earlier. When we returned to the classroom and didn’t see you guys, we assumed you must be here.
“What are you guys doing here?” said Shimizu. Kitamura said, “It’s nothing, just enjoying the breeze and fresh air of spring. It feels good, right? “You’re right, it feels so good, and it makes me feel sleepy, “said Shimizu again. “I agree, even the Sakura tree has started blooming, and the view of the Sakura tree is so pretty, “said Elly. “No kidding, those cute pink blossoms just keep raining down on us, “said Mizuha.
“Hey, you guys, I have an idea! “Shouted Shimizu. “What’s your idea? “Shimizu replied, “Let’s have a Sakura viewing party this weekend. “Oh, that’s a great idea, Shimizu, “said Hikaru. “Yes, I think so too, “said Zul.
Akemi and Takeru suddenly approached them and asked what they were talking about. Mizuha explained that they were thinking about having a Sakura viewing party together this weekend and asked if they would like to join. Akemi said “What? That sounds like so much fun! We’ll definitely be there! Right Takeru? “Takeru blushed and said he would go if Akemi was there.
“Okay it’s decided we will do it this weekend, “said Shimizu. “Now apart from date we still need to figure out place and what to do for lunch right? “said Mizuha. “It’s better if we could plan everything together, “added Mizuha.
Elly suggested deciding on a coordinator to take care of bigger tasks while assigning smaller ones to everyone else. Shimizu agreed and said she would be coordinator since she suggested party in first place. “And why don’t we help you? “said Mizuha and Elly. “Count me in too, “added Akemi. “It becomes easier if many hands are helping “said Akemi again. “Okay it’s decided let’s assign girl to this job, and you guys’ males just bring yourself on that day, “said Shimizu. “Are you guys, okay? Let us know if you need help, “said Hikaru.
“Don’t worry we will be okay, “said Shimizu smiling at Mizuha, Elly, and Akemi. As bell rang, they all returned to their classes.
While walking into their class Hikaru spoke to Mizuha, “It may be our last chance to view it together as we won’t be able to enjoy it next year. “You’re right. We will be third year students soon in few weeks, and next year we will be busy with our college entrance exams and graduation, “said Mizuha.
After school Mizuha, Elly, Shimizu, and Akemi gathered at family restaurant in town to discuss their plan for viewing party. They were eager to get started with Shimizu leading conversation. Elly quickly confirmed, “Yeah today we’re deciding on location, right? “
Mizuha well prepared as always spoke up, “Yup! I brought stack of magazines that feature all recommended spots. We can use these to make our decision. “Akemi complimented Mizuha’s preparedness saying, “You’re really well prepared Mizuha. “
Considering their roles as coordinators Mizuha suggested, “Of course since we’re all coordinators why don’t we start with more popular spots? “
As they flipped through magazine Mizuha had brought five minutes later Mizuha couldn’t contain her excitement exclaiming, “These Sakura are pretty too! I think they might be different variety from ones we saw before. The colors are so vibrant! How cute! “
Elly joined in conversation adding her thoughts, “The shape of these Sakura is little different. Normal Sakura are cute too but these could be fun to see. “
Suddenly Akemi had suggestion, “How about this park? It’s nearby our school and everyone knows this place. The area is so clean. “Shimizu agreed, “It’s great idea Akemi. That way we can relax. “
Deciding on park as their chosen location Shimizu declared, “Alright then park it is! That means location and time are all set! “Everyone felt sense of accomplishment as their plan started to take shape.
“Which leaves us figuring out bento, “said Shimizu. “I’m little nervous about it because I’m not great at cooking, “said Mizuha. “I help my mother sometimes but I’m not very good either, “said Akemi. “In this case I know who can make great bento, “said Shimizu. Mizuha and Shimizu suddenly turned to Elly and said, “We are under your care Master Elly, “said Mizuha and Shimizu.
Elly’s voice filled room as she spoke up her tone slightly hesitant. “Eh me again? “Akemi who was listening attentively appeared confused. Trying to make sense of situation Akemi asked, “Is Elly great at cooking? “Shimizu confidently responded, “Elly is really good at cooking. She helped Mizuha and me make our Valentine’s chocolate earlier. “Akemi’s face lit up with excitement upon learning about Elly’s culinary skills.
Elly expressed her concerns about making bento. “Making that chocolate was easy but making bento is much more difficult because there are so many ingredients. I really don’t want to jump right into making cutesy bento and then fail. “Worried Akemi quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry Elly. I will help you too. “Elly’s face brightened as she responded, “Really? Thanks Akemi. “
Shimizu asked, “Okay when do we want to start preparing bento? “Elly suggested, “How about tomorrow? My mother would love to hear that you guys are coming over again. “Mizuha eager to impress Elly’s mother eagerly added, “Really? We better work hard so that even your mother will be proud of bento we make. “
With plan set group agreed to put in their best efforts to create exceptional bento. Excitement filled air as they looked forward to next day eagerly anticipating chance to gather once more and embark on this culinary adventure together.
As next day arrive Akemi, Mizuha, Elly, and Shimizu were gathering at Elly House buzzing with excitement as they prepared for their upcoming sakura party. They had gathered all necessary ingredients and donned their aprons. Akemi took moment to check their spirit making sure they were all in right mindset for task ahead.
Elly asked eagerly ready to dive into their culinary adventure, “Fufu well then should we get started? “
Mizuha nodded in agreement. “I see… You’re right. Sandwiches are easy to hold so they’re perfect for sakura party in park. “
Shimizu chimed in. “Exactly! And depending on filling and decorations they can be really colorful! “
Elly’s eyes lit up with idea. “Ah I have just the thing! “
Curious Mizuha asked, “What is it? “
Elly rummaged through drawer and finally found what she was looking for. “Uhm~ I think they were in this drawer… Ah here they are! These! “
Shimizu looked at items in Elly’s hand and realized they were cookie cutters. “Cookie cutters? You’ve got stars, flowers… Ah is that bunny? There are so many! How cute! “
Elly grinned. “Uh-huh. I found these when I went shopping with my mother and had her buy them for me. We could make some really cute sandwiches with these. “
Mizuha couldn’t contain her excitement. “Wow… You’re totally right! “
Akemi suggested eager to share their creations with world, “Yay~! Alright then why don’t we clean up this area over here? Then we just place bento boxes down and… “
Shimizu chimed in. “Perfect! Come on Mizuha you should take picture too! “
Mizuha took a picture of the bento boxes, capturing their hard work and creativity. After another 30 minutes of cleaning and organizing, the four friends finally sat down to relax with a cup of tea.
Akemi sighed contentedly. “Phew~, there’s nothing better than a cup of tea after a long day of working hard.”
Elly offered. “We have plenty more, so let me know if you’d like a refill.”
As they sat and reflected on their progress, Akemi remarked, “Thanks! We’re doing pretty well with preparations for the party, aren’t we? We’ve already finished our bento and everything!”
Mizuha agreed realizing how much they had accomplished. “Actually, I was just thinking the same thing.”
Akemi proposed eager to make the most of their preparations. “But we still have so much time on our hands~. Should we think of something else to get ready for the party?”
Elly pondered for a moment before coming up with an idea. “That’s a good idea but what could we do…?”
Shimizu suggested. “I’d like to make something that everybody could enjoy on the day of the party.”
Mizuha’s eyes lit up once again. “Something everybody could enjoy… Ah! How about this?! We could make some guidebooks on how to get the most out of the day. ”
Shimizu questioned curious about Mizuha’s idea. “A guidebook…?”
Mizuha explained with excitement in her voice. “Yes. With those it would feel like we’re on a trip, wouldn’t it? Plus, we’ll be able to write down any important information and let everyone know what they need to bring.”
Akemi exclaimed impressed by her friend’s creativity. “Elly… That’s a great idea!”
Mizuha replied her smile widening. “Really? I’m glad you like it!”
Shimizu asked eager to contribute. “So, what should we write in the guidebooks? We’ve already said important information and what to bring but what else…?”
Elly suggested. “Personally, I think it’d be cute if we had a guide to the different varieties of sakura blossoms.”
Akemi responded excited about the idea. “Wow~! I like that! They’re all called the same thing but there’s actually a ton of different Sakura out there! I’ll have to do some research!”
Mizuha added. “Alright then… I’ll look up some poems about sakura. It’ll really set the mood if we have that little touch of culture to our sakura viewing. ”
Shimizu exclaimed with confidence. “Totally! I’m sure everyone will love our sakura party guidebooks!”
Elly declared ready to dive into their new project. “Alright then let’s get started! This sakura party is going to be great!”
Akemi replied sharing Mizuha’s excitement. “I think so too. Fufufu, I can’t wait~.”
As Shimizu, Akemi, Mizuha, and Elly continued to prepare for their sakura party, their anticipation grew. With their adorable sandwiches and the idea of creating guidebooks, they were sure to host a memorable event. The stage was set for a joyous celebration under the blooming sakura trees, and their efforts would be cherished by all who attended.
