Sumi/Tougou/Yumiko birthday 2020 - 2

With pure hearts poured in - 2

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: The team celebrating Tougou and Sumi will be the elementary schoolers and us, the original Hero Club.

Fuu: Also Utano, Mito, Natsume and Sekka. Everyone okay with this?

Yuu: Girls, let's do our best to make Tougou-san and Sumi-chan happy!

Gin/Son: Yeah!

Fuu: Now then, let's think about what kind of celebration we want to have.

Uta: Something hand-made that you poured your heart into would definitely make them happy.

Nat: Yeah. I agree with Utano.

Mit: Flashy presents are good, but so are heartfelt, handmade presents.

Its: So our group will be making something together as our way of celebrating their birthday, is that it?

Yuu/Gin/Son: Yeah!

Sek: Still though, handmade doesn't just mean objects. Food, events - you can do a lot of stuff.

Kar: Yeah. We've done more than just cakes and udon up until now, like picnics and shooting games.

Fuu: Handmade is just one word, but it's a deep one...

Uta/Gin/Its: Hm...

Sek/Nat/Mit: Hm...

Yuu: ...Just what makes udon delicious?

Kar: Hey, Yuuna! Why do you have random stuff on your mind when we're all deep in thought!?

Yuu: Sorry, sorry. When you said "handmade" I could only think of udon, and then wondered about what makes it tasty...

Kar: Isn't it obvious? Udon is tasty because it's udon.

Gin: No, wait. I haven't actually ever thought about what makes udon tasty.

Son: Me neither. What could it be? Is it because the noodles are tasty?

Yuu: But broth is important too! People say that good udon places have different broth!

Fuu: Here, here, here! I vote for "toppings are important"!

Kar: This is turning into a deep debate. But now that I think about it, what is the essence of udon?

Its: We've been eating it like it was natural, but maybe we didn't understand a thing about udon all along...

Yuu/Fuu/Son: ...

Sek: Uh, I've got a feeling this meeting is progressing in the wrong direction...

SON: Hey, how about we give this to them as a present?

Gin: What do you mean by "this"?

SON: Let's do a lot of research into how udon developed and present them with truly delicious udon that'll make their jaws drop.

Everyone: That's it!
