After the first tutoring session, Mrs. Shiori called Hoshi to tell her that Tori is worst then she thought, academically. Apparently, Tori only know some Math and Science but barely know the main Japanese writing style with no knowledge on Japan's History or Social Studies. She asks how her old school was and Hoshi respond by making up Tori's homeland to be a country side with poor education system and is one of the reasons why Tori moved in with her. While Mrs. Shiori was talking to her, Hoshi thought about how Tori's old school must have been or what culture does her home have if they have "Washing" as a course. Eventually, Mrs. Shiori remind her that she will need all the help she can for Tori, which Hoshi told her that she'll help her.
The next afternoon, the session occurred in the school Library. It began with Mrs. Shiori, who spends an hour to help Tori understand the main reading and writing system so she can have it easier to understand everything what is coming up. Once the hour is done, Mrs. Shiori said that someone will take her place for the next subject.
Once she left, Carol took all of the papers and notes to another table. She asked what was she doing and Carol answered, "Hoshi said I can help by keeping your work space clean. And to do that, I'm getting all of the work to another place and away from each other so that it will tidy."
Shortly after she said that, Hoshi came in saying that she will tutor her in Math and ask if she is ready. "Wait, let me do one thing," Tori said and put her hands together, close her eyes, and did a little chant, and from what they can comprehend, has a lot of the use of the word "kira". during the chant, Carol told Hoshi that Tori did it earlier before her session with Mrs. Shiori and it is to help her study and keep what she learns for her class. When she is done, they began the tutoring and for the hour, Hoshi help her with Math. Once the hour is done, Hoshi said that someone will come by with a new subject. She also mention that he is Shiori's husband, who have a passion for his country and planet while Carol is taking away the notes.
"Hoshi, why can't you keep on tutoring Tori?" Carol look up and asks. "Well you see, I am only able to be free for a certain amount of time in the afternoon because I…" Hoshi said as her phone give out the tune that she had used to remind her that her class is about to begin in 15 minutes. Everyone there look at her with annoyance as she explain that she'll stop the alarms after a few days and remind the two to keep up their work as she left in a hurry.
Tori did a new chant and finished it before Mr. Shiori came in, looking just as casual and young as Hoshi. He said he is there to teach her and get out a couple files and a book. Not only did Tori learn about how Japan's rules and system work, she also learn some history, which explains why she had to stay with him for an hour and a half. They get the notice that they are done when Hoshi and Principal Yoshio came to check on them.
Shortly after Hoshi reminds them that it is Principal Yoshio's turn to tutor her, this time in Science, Mr. Shiori left. "But sir, you're a principal, can you even tutor me?" Tori asked. "Well I've heard what you are going through from your teacher and I wanted to help out my students," Principal Yoshio explain as he took a seat where Mr. Shiori was. "We may began when you are ready," Principal Yoshio said prompting Tori to do her little chant while Carol put away the notes. Once she is done, desk is clear and supplies on hand, they began the session and once the hour is done, the full tutor session is done and they will continue this process until she is ready for her grade. They all went home for the night to get ready for tomorrow.
The next day, Tori walk into her class with a slightly heavy backpack, not as heavy as before but still heavy to carry. She took a seat at her desk and notice the girl who sits next to her isn't there. She is instead talking with a group of girls, she can assume are her friends, one with a bob hair and the other two have hair either up to her hair length or longer.
Before the class started, a boy with rough, short honey-brown hair, moonwalks into the class, Tori doesn't recognize him as he is from a different class. He turn his back to the class, and for a minute, he strike a pose and say, "What's Up, Class 2-7, it is I, Hiroyuki Aki, here to brighten your day and make you smile." After that, half the class groan and went back to their seat. "I'll give you all the performance you will need, I've been planning for this and it will get this year started on the right…" Aki said when Mrs. Shiori stopped him and told him to go to his class.
"But Mrs. Shiori, you would always let me perform, why do you want me to leave. Isn't our contract still going?" Aki asks. "As stated when I first had you during my time teaching 1st year here, I will stop my teaching and would let you do your "performance" for my class until you graduate, but this class already had to stop for someone else," Mrs. Shiori said.
"But, I won't be able to perform for two weeks and I have not even done anything for this class. Who could have taken my spot?" Aki asks. "Why it is our new student here, Teruko Tori, she's in the back row. Now, I'm sure she didn't mean to take some class time and attention," Mrs. Shiori said getting Aki to look at the back and notice Tori because he had not seen her before.
He marched to her and asked what did she do and why did she do it. Tori did not know what he was talking about as the girl who sits next to her came by. He continued by saying, "With a name like yours, you have potential to cause trouble."
She looked at him and the girl said, "Aki, you're just jealous, she took your place of showing off to the class, do you really think she's the type to cause trouble by her name?" Aki looked at her as she put her feet on the table and said her name, "Ryoko".
She added, "Don't get the wrong idea. She spent fifteen minutes drawing a bird on the chalkboard like it was normal. (This got him surprised) And what trouble do you expect from her, being overly weird?" Aki looked at Tori and mouth, "Drawing a picture of a bird, huh. Impressive, but I still believe you can cause problems, now mark my words Teruko Tori, I will outperform you and I won't let this stomp me."
"Hiroyuki, go to your class before you're late. And I won't write you a pass if you keep bothering the new girl," Mrs. Shiori said. He walks out of the class and once he is gone, Tori looked at Ryoko and thanked her for explaining the situation. "Don't call me Ryoko, call me Chinatsu. And like I said, "Don't get the Wrong Idea"," Ryoko said as she laid back on her chair. Tori took it well and the lesson begin.
During the day, she would take notes on what is being taught and when Free period happen, Tori would catch up on her work from her tutoring. At one point when Tori look up, she notice how everyone is in their own groups and she is sitting by herself. Tori got flashbacks of when she was in school but remembered that she must study in order to catch up so she went back.
On the second day during the session with Mr. Shiori, Philis was spying on the girls with a set of special binoculars and a notepad from outside the school grounds. He is wondering how can he attack the girls from where they are when a woman, who is and looks older than Hoshi while having a sense of youth, spotted him and where he is looking.
"Excuse me, sir, are you spying?" The woman asked. Philis freaked out for a moment and looked at her. In his mind, he thought of what would make him seem less suspicious as he can't say he's spying on what is clearly a middle school girl. He then saw Hoshi and Principal Yoshio come in when he came up with an answer. "I am, um, spying on how this man to see… how is he interacting with a woman. In order to solve an issue I was given," Philis answered.
The woman became full of glee and asked him, "Are you a detective, or a private investigator?" Philis looks at her and said yes to the latter and he is busy. "Oh I've been looking for more of guys like you, will you come with me so I can give you a job, please? It's really important," She said.
Philis said no again and the woman got a stern look and said, "We will supply you with everything you need if you take on this job." Philis started to be interested and ask what does she mean by supply him. "You know, if you need a telescope, we'll supply it. Camera, digital or old-fashioned, on hand. If you need space to do your job, say it. Just say you will take the job, no matter what it is," The woman said.
Philis put his binoculars away and get his notepad and pen and say, "Where and when can I meet these clients?" The woman took him and left away from outside Alstroemeria school grounds.
In the middle of the week, Ryoko was with her group of girls: they are known as the Sports Starlets of the School, with Ryoko, the soccer captain and the rest being captains of their own sport. They would always talk to each other about their games, some even being on the same sports team would talk about a recent game.
Except for the day when the blond bob-cut girl, also known for being a baseball captain, brought a Makeup catalog and showed it to everyone there. All but Ryoko seem fascinated by it and they brought out their own makeup bags. As they start to make comparison of their makeup to the catalog and each other's, Ryoko said, "Are we really going to talk about makeup that will make you look ridiculous?"
They all look at her, not even gasping when bob-cut said, "Chinatsu, we all know you don't like makeup, but this won't make us look bad." The brunette then said, "Look at what you're talking about, this (pointing at the catalog) is not just any makeup, it's Tamagawa Makeup. It's well known that is will make you Devine and Sparkle." The other girls added, "Like a Jeweled River." They all busted out laughing while Ryoko look in annoyance.
She stand up from her desk and walk away. Ryoko look around the classroom for a place to relax and not do work and realize the only spot available for her to sit is next to Tori. She didn't want to sit next to her, but seeing as she didn't want to mix with any of the other group, she reluctantly took a seat next to her. Being bored, she look at Tori and notice she was doing reading work that will be similar to that of a primary school work.
She said, "You've got to be kidding, are you actually doing that type of work?" Tori look at her sheepishly and asked, "Can't I catch up to your grade level in peace?" Ryoko look at her and look back, realizing she can see her clique there talking about makeup. Thinking it will be a good enough distraction from the sight, Ryoko asked, "Do you need some help with that?"
Tori looked at her and nodded. Ryoko then proceeded to help Tori with her homework throughout the free period. Once it is done, Tori thanked her and Ryoko enjoyed it, saying she'll help her tomorrow as well.
The week happened with the tutoring happening after school, Ryoko helping Tori during Free Period along with no monsters to fight made Tori ready for her grade level. It was announced that Friday by her teacher and the following day, Hoshi took Tori and Carol to the Town Mall to not only celebrate but to look for gifts for those that helped.
The Mall was big and four stories tall, it's easy to find in the small building section of the city. Just by entering the building, both Tori and Carol became amaze by its height and variety of stores it has. "This must have more stores than the entire Seller's Peninsula," Tori said. "This Place is ginormous," Carol said looking up and feeling small. "Okay girls, we have a lot of stores to check out and once we're done, we can get something to eat, okay?" Hoshi said with both of them being excited.
The trio traveled around, they check a clothing store, they check out a small knickknack store when Carol, being curious, want to try some of the cheap and breakable jewelry on displayed, to Hoshi's displease. They left the place and went outside a nearby Arts and Crafts store when Hoshi got a text message regarding her class work. "Tori, can you watch Carol for me, I'll just be a minute?" Hoshi said with Tori saying she will do it. When Hoshi look at her text message and respond to it, the two went into the store because Carol wanted to look and see.
Tori caught Carol looking at crafts for kids and tried to bring her out to where Hoshi is when she saw the fabric section. While holding onto to Carol's arm, she look for where the materials for sewing is and found it next to the fabrics and sees a tri-fold mirror on the wall. A touch of inspiration hit her and she pick up the four-year-old, took her to the mirror and from her small bag, she brought out a rope ruler and start to measure Carol's arm, waist, and height, just as a tailor would. She told Carol to stay put and she quickly grab some of the nearest blue colored fabric, needles, whatever she can get and start to be busy.
Outside the store, Hoshi sent one final text and said, "Oof that Photo Project can be rough but I hope we all get a good grade on this. Now, where's Tori and Carol?" As she is looking around, she notices people running into the store to see what is going on inside. She runs inside to see a crowd near the mirror and went to see what is the cause. She pushes some people over and sees and hears the sound of a scissor snip.
She look and saw one of the most beautiful blue dress she's ever seen: it looks like a Victorian style dress, ivory ribbons on the front to form a front triangular piece that is up to her waist. Along with floral lace on the front and on the chest, it look like a corset with white lace, string, etc. it even had long, flowing blue sleeves. It also had a matching blue ribbon tied around the waist. Truly, it looks like it was from the sixteenth century and was magnificent.
She look at who is wearing the dress to see that it is Carol, looking very excited about the dress and Tori was next to her, looking proud. "What do you think?" Tori said as Carol answered that she loves it and she felt like a princess. "Good, now all I need to make is a tiara, a choker and a nice small pair of shoes and my gift set for you is complete," Tori said as she get her ruler and is about to look at her notes on Carol's size.
Hoshi then pushes away the crowd and walk to the two and ask what they are doing and how did Carol get a nice dress like the one she is wearing. When Tori said she was the one who sews it all together, Hoshi look at her and whispered, "Let me guess, you took Advance Sewing?" After a short time thinking, she said, "Yes and I followed it with Master's Sewing and got a lot of practice outside of school."
Hoshi look at her with surprise and indifferent as the manager approach her asking if she is Tori's guardian. She nodded her head and the manager said, "As much as I appreciate her getting customers to come in, this is the amount of fabric, lace and ribbon she used in making that dress. (She gave Hoshi the bill for supplies, getting her to freak out) It was a good thing she kept record of how much she used or it will probably take a while to guess how much it will be."
After looking at the receipt, Hoshi look at Tori and said, "I am not allowing you to make anything more and (Change to the manager) Ms. you don't mind me asking, what are your store's payment options?"
Later, the trio left the mall with Hoshi looking exhausted, Tori somewhat sad and Carol smiling and hugging her new dress in a bag. "I wasn't finished with Carol's gift but I didn't know it would cost you so much," Tori said. "What do you mean you weren't done, you made her a dress on your own, that's impressive even if the bill's twice as much as my grocery bill. If this is an indication of what your thoughts on gift-giving is, then I should lay out some rules: you shouldn't be working on a gift unless I know what it is or about, okay?" Hoshi said getting Tori to freak out a little.
She looked at her and asked, "What did you do?" "Well, I stay behind while you went to get Carol for another reason." Tori said looking shy. "It's at the apartment is it?" Hoshi asked with Tori nodding. She get the girls to go into the car and went into the driver seat and quickly get the car to drive to the apartment.
Once she got to the apartment, she quickly got off leaving Tori and Carol in the car. When she made it she open the door, turn on the light, and sees how clean and organized it is. She looked around and notice how all the beds are made, not one open drawer and she open one to see how well folded her shirts are. She even look at the kitchen to see a nicely made chocolate cake on the table that said "Thank You for Helping Me" and has a picture of a feather and happy faces.
Before Tori live with her, she would somewhat neglect cleaning her apartment, just little messes such as clothes on the floor, open drawers and her work in a pile. Now it looks all clean. As Tori and Carol walked in, Tori asked what does she think about what she did. Hoshi couldn't be mad because of how Tori did everything without her knowing and look at the young ones and said, "I want to say Thank you for this. But I meant to say earlier, you need to get me involved when you're doing these gifts." She get a cutter and told the girls they will have some cake.
The following day, Hoshi express her worry to Tori about considering what to get her teachers for tutoring her. "Is it about how I put you in debt yesterday?" Tori asked. "No, it was a tab, what I want to talk to you about is how and what you consider a "Thank-You" gift. I do love what you did to the apartment and Carol loved the dress you made her, but the idea that it is just one of a big set, it's just mind-boggling," Hoshi explained. "Well, I was taught that when you give a gift, it must be professionally styled, have a lot of worth in it, or be a showing of great gratitude: I am very grateful to all of you to for tutoring me, but I don't see how you want to do it," Tori said.
"Well, if you let me, perhaps I can help you. Now, do you have any ideas on what to get your teachers?" Hoshi asked. "Now that you said it, let me show you," Tori said as she got up.
Tori left the living room and went to her room, came back with a heavy bag and showed the contents of it. It has four or five big balls of yarns, pieces of wood, chocolates, and three vases. Hoshi looks at her with shock surprise until Tori said, "I had these around in my book, in the section of my old belongings. Let me show you."
Tori got out her book and showed Hoshi what she planned on doing with it. Apparently, she is to make a small wooden cabinet that is to hold slippers, bathrobe, a small chocolate tower and a vase with flowers that is supposed to be a Joke Celeste Flower but since she does not have the seeds to grow it, she will have to get a seed packets and some dirt for them to grow.
Hoshi sighed as Tori finished her explanation and didn't explain why she did it.
Carol was walking from her house to Hoshi's apartment and on the way there, she saw and recognizes Philis, who is talking to the same woman from earlier. She hid behind some people and even blends in with a group and quickly ran to the apartment to tell the others. When she got to the apartment, she banged on the door with all her might getting Hoshi to run to the door.
She saw Carol looking tired, saying she saw Philis in the city and thought he might be planning an attack soon. "But, he has not attacked all week, are you sure he seemed to be in a mood to attack?" Tori asked, worried about whether she would make the cabinet and contents. "Gasp, I just saw he was talking to a woman. And I think he is planning something big," Carol said.
Both Hoshi and Tori look at each other and decide to look for where Carol saw Philis. After they left, Philis appeared at the apartment and pop up a key.
When they get to the spot where Carol saw Philis, they see he is not there and Hoshi noticed that the whole area is empty, when it is usually busy. "Guys, do you think there is something suspicious about this?" Hoshi asked. Tori looked around and finally spotted the thin man, with his arms behind his back, coming into view.
"Nice to see you, Unity PreCure. I've really missed you this week but you know, I've been prepping for something, secret," Philis said. "See, I told you he's planning something big," Carol said. "Now, now, little rabbit, I'm not going to use it now. I'm using something else," Philis said as he brought out the materials that Tori was going to use to make the cabinet. "Hey, you creep, how did you?" Tori said aloud as Philis brought out a Magic Beetle.
"Bring, Forth, CHAOS," Philis said as he fused the items with the Magic Beetle, turning it into the Gift Wrapped Andro-Beast with two ribbons for arms, two needles for arms and the rest being made out of wood hands.
Once it is out, all three girls get out their pendants and press their perspective buttons on it. "U,N,I…Transform," all three said in unison, stopping time. Their bodies became covered in light as they fly to the circular stage and Carol's body grow into a body of a fourteen-year-old. After their feet touch the stage, the transformations happened. Tori's upper half of her clothes appear; Carol's lower half of her outfit including her shoes; Hoshi's hair became freed from its braid into a lemon colored flowing hair and getting new jewelry and glasses. Next, Tori then open her eyes to show her new eyes, after her Carol did and finally Hoshi.
They stroke a pose and Tori start by saying, "Throughout the sky and land we travel, Cure Flight."
"No matter our size or shape, Cure Lady."
"Seeking injustice and exposing it, Cure Film."
"Let's Defend, Unity PreCure," They said in unison.
Once they are done, Flight went on the offensive and attack the wooden hands and needles. She then went to throw fists to the body of beast, rapidly. Lady and Film both join in, going for the side of it. It attack by throwing chocolate chips at them, used its hard wood hands to push them away more harshly than the other four arms. It is when going through the contents that Flight got the idea to go into the cabinet and take the yarn from within and tie it amongst the needle arms. They see what Flight did and got inspired by it: Lady used her umbrella to break the wooden while Film used her camera to hold back the lace and ribbon.
Once the monster is stuck in place, the trio got out their pendants to summon the Regeneration Rings. Each press their buttons on the pendants on their proper sides, and said, "(Flight) Sky, (Lady) Class, (Film) Life…Charge." After each girl said it, a ring of their respective color appear around the monster and once they said Charge, the monster became vanquished as the rings close in on the beast and revert it back to what it is based on while removing the beetle and making it disintegrate.
As the materials fell on the street, Philis just appear in the sky with his hands clasped tightly. As he fold his arms to his chest, the Cures call him out when he said, "Since Lady suspected it, that's what I'll give, be on your toes Unity, as it will fall like this City." After he said that, he vanished and all three girls left the scene after Flight took the materials with her.
When they regroup, Carol apologize for giving Philis the suspicion of doing something big. "Now cause of me, he will do something big," Carol said as they're in the apartment with Tori knitting and Hoshi sitting by her. "Carol, don't blame yourself, I'm sure he's just saying that to make you feel bad," Hoshi said. "Besides, he hasn't attacked recently. Any of us would have made the same thought," Tori voiced as she continued knitting. She still felt sad about the accusation, so what Tori did is quickly knit and finish her product.
She then said, "Hey Carol." Getting her attention, she then used the product, a knitted smiley face with rabbit ears, and put it on her face and make funny noises. Carol smiled and laughed at it with delight, but after laughing for a bit, she thanked Tori and said it still won't make her feel better. "Really, that would cheer me up when I was little," Tori said removing the mask.
"Carol, you must not be so down cause of this, Tori was trying to cheer you up. Come on, let's do something to get your mind off it shall we?" Hoshi said with Carol saying, "Yes, Ms. Ayano. But what can we do?" Hoshi showed her what Tori is planning to do and she gave her the look that she is not going to fully do everything three times.
Tori got this look and said, "Well I didn't have the materials to do all what I thought of anyway but I would like some help." Hoshi and Carol join Tori as she told them what she plan on giving the teachers and having some fun making and learning how to make gifts.
All of them managed to get some of it done by the time the sun is about to set and Carol needing to go home. What they end with is a small, empty three shelved wooden cabinet for Mr. and Mrs. Shiori and a well-knitted red-colored bathrobe for Principal Yoshio for his size.
Tomorrow, Tori and Hoshi presented the cabinet to Mrs. Shiori and she loved it, from how it opens, and close, to how the size is small but big enough to hold items. She was sure she and her husband would love it and thanked Tori for it. She also presented the bathrobe to her Principal and he seem quite surprised by it and how soft it was. He tried it on and was happy with it as it fit him. He asked how she know he needed one and she simply say she thought a bathrobe would be a nice choice for him.
He was happy and thanked her for her consideration and the two were dismissed. While leaving, Tori is somewhat upset that it didn't came out the way she wanted but Hoshi told her that it came out great and everyone she gave gifts to loved it. Hoshi then added that it was for the better that she didn't give that much, especially a potted plant she had said. As Tori asked about the Potted Plant detail, Hoshi phone beeped and she told her that she needs to be in class soon and that she will see her in the afternoon.
While going to her first class Tori realize she didn't get Ryoko a gift and she was mainly focusing on her teachers to think about her. Tori continue to think about it throughout class and during free period, Ryoko ask her if she needs help with a subject only for her to not need it, with a worry expression.
Once class ended, Ryoko asked Tori if she is feeling alright and she apologize for not getting her anything for helping her out with her studies. Ryoko look at her with small surprise and said, "Hehe, Teruko, you don't need to get me something for helping you, it was just a few questions and was no big deal for me. Besides, thanks to you, Mrs. Shiori gave me at least five points extra on my last assignment for helping you." This got Tori to cheer up a little and get her to ask Ryoko what is she going to do now. "I'm going to soccer practice, we need to get started for the year and I'm not about to start slow." "What's Soccer?" Tori blurted.
"You really don't know what soccer is, what land are you from anyway?" Ryoko asked. Tori was about to explain when Ryoko grabbed her by her hand and dragged her to the soccer field. While she is changing, Tori saw a couple of girls are already there kicking soccer balls to each other and presume it is practice. Once Ryoko is out, in red shorts and white jersey, she brought Tori to the field and tell her she can watch from a spot outside.
Her teammates ask Ryoko why Tori is there and she responded, "Well, she's new here and she doesn't know about soccer, so let's show her." As she said that the bob-cut got the ball and kick it to Ryoko. She kick it to the brunette player, who then kick it to a brightly honey haired girl, whom is shorter than brunette but bigger than bob cut. As Honey-Hair kick the ball into the goal post, Tori got the basics of Soccer and dropped everything on the ground.
As the ball returns to the brunette, Tori chased the ball and manage to get the ball, by sliding, getting it by her hands, drop it and start to kick it to the goal post. Far from it, Tori got a flashback of when she was a cardinal and in her land: she would play with a ball by kicking it to the wall of a building and would avoid damaging the windows whenever she's not busy.
Along with the flashback, Tori kicked the ball and in great speed, it made it to the goal post to everyone's surprise. Tori cheered for making it, thinking of it as hitting a wall and face the soccer players. Ryoko was the first to say something such as, "Wow, you got some kick there. You sure you don't have anything similar to this and you guys called it something else?" Tori shook her head and said there are no types of organized sports teams like this back at her home.
"Well, we can use a kick like yours', how about you try out for the team?" Ryoko asked getting Tori excited. "Really, you sure," Tori asked. "Yeah but you need to learn the rules about Soccer first and I can't guarantee the coach will let you if you don't know anything about soccer. But we will see if you do get in tomorrow, Teruko," Ryoko said.
Tori became more excited and said she'll be there. "Great now, get ready cause today, the field belongs to those who are already on the team, so later Teruko," Ryoko said getting Tori all giddy and getting her stuff so she can brush up on knowledge of Soccer at home.
As Tori leaves, she told Hoshi and Carol that she is going to try out for the soccer team and they go with as she was excited about the sport and how everyone was impressed by her kick. As they are leaving, the other teammates ask Ryoko why did she encourage her to join and she said, "There's something about her that makes her enjoyable to hang around with and based on her kick, she might have potential to be a good player." The bob-cut and brunette didn't like the answer and start to show signs of jealously.
Once Tori is at the apartment and finish making a meal for her and Hoshi, she started to study the rules for soccer. Being cautious and wanting to join the team and possibly her new friend, she decides to do her chant, she wished she will have the knowledge and skill for her to join the soccer team. Once it is done, she continue to read the rules on Soccer.
A/N: Thank goodness for breaks huh, anywho, this is CureJump getting this out at long last, the proper 10th chapter. I tried to get everything that I wanted for here while trying not to overpack it with info that will be filler or contradictive ideas, just note, this is somewhat based on what I've seen or experiences.
Hope you guys like it, leave your thoughts in the comments or PM and even what you think is going to happen next chapter knowing that many details here will have an affect later, with some being too minor but will be mentioned soon enough. Thanks.
Fun fact: It is considered rude in Japanese culture to give potted plants as it "brings or calls illnesses". So here, Tori wasn't planning to be rude, it was a custom in her home to give a particular flower that is meant to call "fortune".
