He has been waiting too.

I know, I know. I'll have a proper chat with him.

Let's go, I'm starving.

You're free tomorrow, right? I'll help you pack. There are a few gifts I was hoping you could help deliver to some friends on the landship.

Alright.

Speaking of gifts, what kind of cake did you get?

Chocolate hazelnut. You said you wanted to try it last week.

That's my Schwarz!

Ah... Ah-choo!

Oh, Mr. Mayor! Why are you here all by yourself?

I thought tonight was Miss Ceylon's birthday party?

Something came up on Schwarz's side, so my daughter went to help her.

Oh...

Will it be alright if you don't head over yourself?

By the time I found out, Schwarz had already settled the matter, and Ceylon was already there.

All I can do is wait for them here.

Well, as long as they're safe.

Oh, what's that you're holding—

Wildflowers. Went to the foot of the volcano today to pick them.

That explains why they look so familiar.

A long time ago, they helped me settle a rocky moment with my wife.

Today, I hope they can help me break the ice with my daughter.

You've planned this plenty well, so why still the long face, Mr. Mayor?

I had a feeling just now.

A feeling that this little trick of mine isn't going to help this time.

...But why?
