[ super late intro... but, the vine opens up to a bedroom in the onsen with a girl looking curiously into the screen, making slight adjustments as if it were a webcam, before giving a flowery smile. ]

I realized that I've never actually used this to talk to everyone, so I should correct that, right? Hello, to whoever might be watching! I'm Ryoko Asakura. It's a pleasure to meet you!

Hmm... this feels a little like an introduction at school... but, speaking of, I happened to be the president of my class. So, if you're ever in need of a friend or any help, I'll try my best! Even if it's with love advice~ Valentine's day is coming up, isn't it?

[ she winks cheerfully. look at that face, there is no way she could be anything but a genki japanese social butterfly schoolgirl, you know you want to be friends! h... haha... ]

You give love advice?

[lastwaltz]

I can definitely try!

[ ... even if she just doesn't understand the concept of love for organic lifeforms... ]

[ported]

What kind of gift should I get someone?

[lastwaltz]

Hmm... well, making home-made chocolates is traditional, right?

[ported]

I don't know how to make chocolate.

[lastwaltz]

Don't worry, it's not too complicated! It's only a matter of ingredients, timing, and love~ ♥

[ported]

I don't know what ingredients go in it though.

[lastwaltz]

Besides the chocolate itself? Well, there are a variety of fillings, icing, and even molds for the shape of the chocolates... you can definitely get creative with it!

[ported]

How do you make chocolate to start with?

[Start from STEP 1]

[lastwaltz]

Hmm... well, I'm not sure if I can give you an exact recipe from memory. But I'm sure we have cocoa powder in the kitchens, I'll have to check again.

[ported]

Maybe I should try something else.

[lastwaltz]

Are you sure? I could help you try to make some, if you'd like!

[ported]

Could you? I'd really appreciate that!

[lastwaltz]

I'd be happy to. Hmm... perhaps I could host some sort of workshop, for anyone else who wants to make homemade candies...

[ported]

I want to go to it!

[lastwaltz]

Then, let's make it happen. How about next week? Three days before the holiday should be enough!

[ported]

I'll be there!

[lastwaltz]

Then, I'll see you there...

... Ah, I just realized I never got your name!

[ported]

You can call me Kris.

[lastwaltz]

It's a pleasure to meet you. Come prepared to cook next week~!
