"Do I have to bring anything else?" Although Akari had mentioned the details after she accepted the invitation the other day, Shouko still jotted it down on her planner.

It was Wednesday, the day before the storytelling event. Akari asked to meet Shouko thus the latter invited her to White Rose. Old Daizo welcomed their arrival with a smile before telling them he tried a new recipe befitting for autumn, spiced sweet potato latte cake.

"You must be exhausted with all the preparation needed," Shouko pointed out as she looked at the slightly haggard expression of her friend, "Finish your cake and quickly go home. You should rest early tonight."
