>The distinction is important.
>A-Agreed!
>A nice welcoming party!
>Something like this isn't enough to hurt me!...

>Jealousy is the discomforting fear of someone taking something from you...
>...I see.

>I guess in my case...
>it's both...

>Makopi is a knight from the Trump Kingdom and a super famous idol.
>That's way too many levels above me...

>In the first place, Mana...
>is a philanphropist who spreads love to just about anyone.
>That's already Mana's purpose in life so there's no helping that...

>Basically...it's useless even if I do get jealous?...
>Is that all? Ahahaha!
>That's good -keru!

>In any case, there's only one thing I need to do!
>It's always been like this up until now

>Alright! I'll do something about it.

>Amazing -vi!
>...You did all this just for me...
>Welcome Makopi~<3 Heart-pounding Welcoming Party

>Now<3 Come on in<3
>We all prepared everything according to Rikka's plan
>The banner was my idea<3

>We did consider using one of the Yotsuba Group's facilities but...
>We figured a more relaxing party in Mana-chan's room would be a better fit for middle schoolers.

>Um...how is that diamond ring fitting for middle schoolers!?...

>Thank you all!
>For some reason...
>it feels like forever...since I've been by Mana's side...

>Well then!
>Let's all toast to be bright future!

>Huh...?

>Sorry to keep you waiting!
>The special cake is ready!

>What splendid volume.
>Geez, Papa, you got way too into it~ I wonder if we can even eat all of this~
>...No matter how I look at it, that's a wedding cake...

>W-Well let's just cut into it
>Wait!
>If we're talking about cutting... We gotta use...

>Cure Sword's special move!
>Right? It's gotta be it!

>Eh....
>Here we go, Makopi!

>All together<3
>Why are they both cutting it!? It's like cutting the cake at a wedding!

p6
>The first bite!?...

>It feels like we've conquered the Big Parfait<3 Ahaha
>You sure have quite the appetite for your age.

>Even though she's so close...
>Mana feels like she's really far away...

>Rikka...Rikka... Is your heart in pain?
>Alright! I'll do something about it!
>Hurry... Hurry up and do something... Mana...

>The candle art is amazing -lance
>It warms up my heart -sharu!
>What's wrong? Let's light them up together.
>You don't want to?
>Then do you want to go last, Rikka?
>...You forgot, didn't you?...Mana...
>Eh?

p7
>...I've...always been by your side...and yet you call on me last...
>Even...Even though...
>I would always be the first person you'd ask!

>Eh!? Eeeeh!?
>Rikka!? But...Eeeeeh!? R-Ri...

>Rikkaaaa!

>I'll go after her.
>You put out the "fire", Mana-chan!

>I've done it now...
>I've ruined the welcoming party... I'm the worst...

p8
>...I know very well that Mana is giving her all to please Makopi...
>But...
>I always thought you were pretty strong, Rikka-chan...

>...Even diamonds can be breakable, y'know...

>I suppose.
>It's just...
>diamonds are one of the hardest substances on the planet...

>The only thing that can break diamonds are diamonds themselves.
>You mean to say the one that I'm hurting... is myself!?...

>...You're right...

>I just imagined things on my own, got jealous on my own...
>and just made myself suffer...

>You really do see through everything...
>Thanks, Alice!
>It's because you're so transparent that I see just how much strength is shining within you...
>I think that's what make diamonds so wonderful, Rikka-chan!

>Sorry for acting all high and mighty...
>It's alright! To think that doohickey you brought could go as far as to cheer me up...

>Oh...you mean this? It's a memento from my grandmother...
>Wah! Too bright!

>It's also doubles as a means of self-defense!
>Why did you think it was neccessary to bring a self-defense weapon to today's party!? Huh? Huh!?

p9
>I won't let this diamond become broken anymore!
>I'm going to let it shine
>and be more confident in myself!
>Say goodbye to the jealous Rikka with a smile!

>The next day
>Morning, Mana!
>G-Good morning, Rikka!

>Rikka! Um...
>I'm going to work hard for myself!
>For example, I might read one book every day, reading a total of 365 books in a year.
>That's a lot!

>Heh, sounds nice! That sounds really nice!
>...So, what about me...?
>Hmm I wonder~
>Just kidding! Of course, I'll keep on supporting you like always!

>Rikka~<3
>This incident led to my greatest discovery
>I really do love Mana<3
