"Ah! It's hopeless!"
Kurumi Erika has long since turned a portion of Fairy Drop's interior into her own personal workshop, which is now wholly occupied by a single project. Presently, she lies sprawled out across three chairs. Having just entered the room, Tsubomi approaches Erika from outside her field of view and slips an ice-cold canned drink next to her cheek. Erika immediately grabs the drink and downs it.
"Tsubomi, my savior! Won't you breed me a flower that'll add two days to the week? All I need is two extra days!"
"Even if you ask for something like that, it's just a little bit impossible?"
It's not really a question, though Tsubomi makes it sound like one. The single focus that dominates the rest of the room is a mannequin with a nearly-completed dress hanging on it, a creation of Erika's own design and also a wedding dress. Erika has been obsessing over this project for months, and with good reason. It is for her sister's wedding, now imminently near.
"That's right, it's impossible!" Erika stands up suddenly. "That Momoka, she asked me to do this because she knew that I'd fail!"
"You don't mean that," Tsubomi replies. "Your sister loves you and thinks the world of your designs."
"But it's so stressful, Tsubomi! Even I, who have a heart wider than the ocean, have reached my limit!"
"You'll be fine. Everyone knows that you can do this, including you."
"Ah! You just said something adult-like! Are you trying to sound like an adult?"
"I am an adult, though. We both are."
Erika makes a show of rolling back her sleeves. "I guess I'd better put some adult-like energy into this, then. It wouldn't be right to let your effort go to waste."
Tsubomi forces a smile. "Thanks?"
"Yeah!" Erika suddenly shouted. "I'll show that sister of mine! I'll show her good! This'll be the prettiest wedding dress she's ever seen, and I'll get it done by the end of the week!"
