Well...

[ She casts around for an excuse and realizes as she does so that she's really only trying to drag this out because she's embarrassed and apprehensive. What if Kana's embarrassed? What if she hates it? What if getting a gift from Ai is the last thing she wants?

The only way to find out is to actually get it over with, of course. So with her smile turning a little sheepish, she pulls out the brightly wrapped gift from behind her back for Kana to see. ]

I guess I was hoping you'd have enough time for this?

[bakingsoda]

Huh?

[ She's just caught completely off guard when she sees the gift. Sure, sometimes people would try to get her stuff, but most of that was for B-Komachi. Not really her.

Even her mother hadn't gotten her a gift in a very, very long time. ]

You really didn't have to...

[liedol]

Oh come on, I couldn't just leave you out, could I? What kind of a senpai would I be if I did that?

[ Is this a senpai thing? It feels a little easier to make out like it is rather than admitting the truth: that she's heard exactly enough things about Kana's family situation in little bits and scraps through the grapevine that there's no way she could pass on at least trying to make this time of year a little less lonely.

That's what idols are for, right? ]

I just thought I should get you something to open too.

[bakingsoda]

. . . Well. Ruby is your daughter. And Memcho is Memcho.

[ There's literally no other way to describe her. She's just simply like that. ]

Do you mind if I open it now?

[liedol]

[ it says something about the b-komachi state of affairs that the youtuber is the most normal person in the group, huh ]

Mm, go ahead! Ah, actually I was kind of hoping you would...

[ She fiddles nervously with a lock of her hair, for lack of anything else to do with her hands. ]

I asked Ruby and Memcho to help me pick it out but if it's not the right one, I can change it for you!

[bakingsoda]

Okay. Let's see what this is, then...

[ She's going to open it. But she's very much being delicate about it, not trying to tear it too much. ]

[liedol]

[ It's a glossy hardback book, complete with dustcover and fancy bookmark, centered specifically around mysteries and bizarre occurrences from all around the globe. The focus seems to be on solving them or at least providing reasonable explanations, with a whole lot of research and associated trivia. It's pretty chunky!

Ai fidgets a bit as she watches her open it — it's the sort of thing she'd thought about buying Aqua and according to Ruby, he and Kana were always gravitating towards the same books so... it should be fine, right? ]

Is that the right one...? I was really trying not to get you one you already had, ahah...

[bakingsoda]

[ She's quiet and wide-eyed for a couple of moments as she takes the book out of its packaging, fingers lingering on the cover for a few moments before smiling fondly. ]

It is. Thank you.

[liedol]

Ah, really? [ It's almost a little sad how relieved she looks... ] Phew...! They're not the kind of books I read so I didn't know what would be good. Oh, but—

[ She puts up both hands almost a little apologetically — so this is what it looks like when a so-called invincible girl's off her game. ]

Don't feel like you have to keep it if it's really no good! I can change it for something else — I just wanted to get you a present, that's all.

[bakingsoda]

Well, I'll let the book be the judge of whether its quality is good or not.

[ Although trash novels do have some merit in terms of entertainment value... ]
