Ending: The Best Present of All


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Eventually, Shiori left the illustration book in the care of Hatsune, who had recovered the bookmark. Several days later, Yuuki was asked by Hatsune to come to Landsol, so that she could share the outcome of the matter with both him and Shiori.

Shiori
(So it seems that Kaon and Forestier had a meeting to discuss what to do with the book and bookmark. They came to a decision today.)

Shiori
(In the end, they decided that the book should be kept under strict supervision in the elven forest. They're both out of my hands now.)

Shiori
......

Hatsune
Shiori... I'm sorry about your special present, okay?

Shiori
Big sister, you didn't do anything wrong, so please don't apologize. On the contrary, I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for me...

Hatsune
Oooh... Shiori, Shiori, Shiori!

Shiori
B-Big sister... Oh, Yuuki, I'd like to thank you, too. You helped us out very much...

Shiori
If you hadn't been there, we wouldn't have been able to resolve this issue.

Yuuki
1. "Let's have a party to celebrate."
2. "Let's go somewhere to celebrate."

Option 1.

Hatsune
Whoa! We totally should! Yeah! We even promised that the three of us would go out together again!

Option 2.

Shiori
Ha ha, that's a good idea... We should keep it modest, but perhaps we could have a little celebratory outing...

End of branches.

Hatsune
Oh, oh, Shiori, where do you want to go?

Shiori
Dealing with that illustration book took a lot out of me, physically and mentally, so I think I'd like to have... some sweets?

Hatsune
Ah, I want some, too! Okay, then, let's go to a sweets shop!

Scene: A shop in Landsol.

Hatsune
Mmm! Tasty! Shiori, try some! Say ahh!

Shiori
U-Um... This is embarrassing, big sister... Ahhh... Mmm, it's good!

Hatsune
Hee hee, as expected of a shop you chose, Shiori! Do you come here often?

Shiori
Um... Well, big sister, the truth is...

Woman
Here, this is for you, miss.

Hatsune
Huh? What's this? It's... a pillow?

Shiori
I had this delivered to the staff here earlier. That's why I picked this shop. It's a surprise...

Hatsune
Shiori! This! This is...!

Shiori
Big sister, thank you for everything. This is... my present to you. Because, you know, I've also heard from a lot of people that you've been working hard...

Hatsune
... S-Shi... Shiori! Thank you! I'm super happy! I'll treasure this forever and ever!

Hatsune
Ah! That's right! I have something for you, too! I never got to give you my response to your letter!

Shiori
B-but big sister, this present is already in return for your present. If you give me something back, wouldn't that be like a double return present?

Hatsune
That's okay by me! Totally okay!
