Writer: Yoshino Yuuki
Season: Autumn
Location: Fancy Goods Shop

Izumi: ......
Yuzuru: ......
Midori: (Sena-senpai and Fushimi-senpai look really awkward... But it's not like I'm comfortable in such a sparkly environment either...)
(Siiigh... I wanna go home...)
(Sakuma-senpai said we need to learn what cuteness is, but I don't see how throwing us into this shop is going to help...)
(Uuu~, what do I do... Let's just go touch some plushies...)
Huh?

Midori: ...! Ah, uwaaah... ♪ Wow, it's so cute... ☆
Oooh, it's so soft and fluffy...! It feels so nice! Aah, my energy is being restored~ ♪
(All my fatigue from the last few days was just blown away...! I really can't survive without something to soothe me every now and then... ♪ )
Rei: You see, Sena-kun, Fushimi-kun. This is it.

Izumi: What's 'this' supposed to be? All I see is an ugly plush toy.
Rei: No, not the plush animal. I meant to look at Takamine-kun.
With cuteness as our theme, that is the sort of reaction we must aim to evoke.
Takamine-kun found the plush animal cute, and then he was soothed by it... That is what we must strive to do.
And yet, you've been so cranky since yesterday — you're not going to be soothing anyone, Sena-kun.
Izumi: Let me remind you that you're the reason I've been mad.
Rei: Kukuku, you've got more experience and awareness than the other two, so I chose to make things a little harder for you.
... Well, that's half just an excuse.
Izumi: Ugh, you tick me off. ... Hmph, so we just need to soothe the people watching us?
We provide our princesses with moments of peace — I just need to do what Knights always does.
Rei: ......
Izumi: What's that look supposed to be? I don't think I said anything weird.

Rei: Well, it's not often you hear people say 'princesses' with such a straight face...
Knights is indeed a unit that does top-class fanservice — perhaps I needn't worry about you.
But remember that your goal is to soothe the audience with cuteness this time. You can't approach it the same way.
Yuzuru: Fufu, I am quite proficient in soothing others.
From cooking and cleaning to laundry, I will provide the best service possible.
Rei: Yes, I've experienced your hospitality during summer vacation. You would get things done before I could even ask you to... Frankly, if that had continued for much longer, I fear I would have become completely helpless.

Yuzuru: Fufu, I am glad to hear my service was satisfactory.
Rei: However, I don't think you understand what it's like to be soothed by something else, Fushimi-kun.
You're always looking after others, but I haven't once seen you let yourself relax or act on your own whims.
In that sense, I believe Takamine-kun has the best understanding here.
Midori: Wha? M-me...?

Rei: Indeed. I'm sure you'll be able to truly soothe the audience, Takamine-kun. I expect great things from you ♪
Midori: I-I see...
(Uuu, what am I supposed to say to that...?)
(But I guess... It's not a bad feeling to hear that from someone like Sakuma-senpai.)
(Fufu, since he's one of the Three Eccentrics like Shinkai-senpai, I thought he would be a dangerous and scary person...)
(But he's less scary than Sena-senpai, and I don't think he's dangerous...)
(Maybe... Things aren't as bad as I thought... ♪ )
