Hajime:
Everyone~ your tea is ready ♪

It might be a hot day today, but since we are outside the tea will turn cold in no time.

I have poured everything into a thermos, so please enjoy at your own pleasure ♪

Eichi:
How thoughtful of you. Thank you for always making us such delicious red tea, Hajime-kun ♪

Aah, what a sweet and refreshing scent... This helps with the hot weather.

If there were a snowstorm right now, I would not be able to enjoy Hajime-kun's tea like this.

Cough, cough...

Oh, that was just me drinking your tea in one go because it was too delicious and I choked, okay?

Ritsu:
No way, you totally had a coughing fit, didn't you~

Well, there's no need to worry, we wouldn't call off club activities halfway.

It's not good being overprotective anyway. Since Eichan went out of his way to say "let's have a tea party," we'll continue, don't worry.

Hakkun, delicious black tea needs some snacks to compliment it. There's some apple pie that's paired specifically for black tea in the fridge, can you bring it here?

I'll also let you know, the pie this time looks normal. Even though I decorate it like that to show off a sense of beauty...

I can tell nobody in this world has a decent sense of aesthetics.

Eichi:
Because your sense of aesthetics are something unique. In any case, pairing today's tea with apple pie is perfect. Good job, Sakuma-kun ♪

Ritsu:
Hey, don't pat my head.... Anyway, we'll leave it to you, Hakkun~

Hajime:
Roger. I'll be right back ♪

Eichi:
Goodness, don't make Hajime-kun do all the work, you should do it too sometimes, Sakuma-kun.

Hasn't Hajime-kun also been tasked with all the preparations for brewing tea lately as well?

Ritsu:
I'm in charge of preparing the teacakes so it's fine.

But wait, what about you. Eichan uses the excuse that Hakkun's tea tastes so delicious that lately you haven't been brewing anything either.

Eichi:
No, you see, Hajime-kun's brewing technique has been improving.

The tea he brews is far more delicious than anything me or you can make.

And above all, having a cute underclassman say "your tea is ready ~ ♪" is a happy thing, isn't it?

Ritsu:
That's great and all but, you have also evaluated my tea as well then?

Eichi:
Of course, your tea is delicious as well.

It's just, your "this is such a pain though" mood seeps out every now and then. I can taste those feelings in the tea.

You should follow Hajime-kun's example of making tea while thinking "club president, I like you, like you" ♪

Ritsu:
No thanks, there's no way I'd hold such gross feelings.

Hajime:
U-um~? Sorry for interrupting your talk. The apple pie is ready so I'll take your plates and divide it up now.

Eichi:
Thank you, Hajime-kun.

....What's this? Sakuma-kun, you also made some dango in addition to the apple pie? I'm happy but, won't the dango not pair with the black tea?

Ritsu:
Nope, I didn't make it ~ I only made the apple pie.

Hajime:
Ah, I prepared that.

They are bite sized pieces so I thought they would be easy to eat... But they don't fit well, don't they.

Eichi:
If they were prepared by you then I will happily partake.

Hajime:
Club president.... Uuuu, I'm sorry!

Eichi:
Hajime-kun? Why are you apologizing? You haven't done anything wrong. If there's a reason, then try talking it out.

Hajime:
Actually I received this dango as a "souvenir from my hometown [furusato]~♪" from someone I do school part time jobs with.

Eichi:
That's a surprising combo but, this is pretty delicious, surprisingly.

Fufu. Hajime-kun, are you aware of a nursery rhyme titled Furusato? Something like chasing rabbits up a mountain or something.

Hajime:
Ah, yes I know that! It's a famous poem. But, why bring it up?

Eichi:
Oh my, you don't know? It's because "runny bunny" so it's "yummy bunny" [1]

Ritsu:
Uwah, another one of Eichan's useless bad puns....

Eichi:
Nope, I don't think it's useless.

There are people out there who think "rabbits are delicious", you see. Even though realistically speaking, rabbits do not taste good.

Ah, but don't get me wrong, I haven't eaten any before, ok?

Since they have a cute appearance yet on the contrary they're also quite muscular and brawny, they don't look tasty is what I'm trying to say.

Hajime:
Uweh!? You can't do that, don't ever eat them, okay~!?

Eichi:
Oops, did I scare you a bit there? I'm sorry, of course I won't eat any rabbits I want you to feel relieved.

Speaking of, have you been building muscles, Hajime-kun?

When you first joined the club, the tea pot looked heavy when you were holding it. It looks like you're completely fine with it now.

Hajime:
Yes, it might be due to the manual labor school jobs. There's been a lot of jobs requiring arm strength lately....

Uuu, but if I get too brawny then I won't look cute anymore.

Eichi:
No way, for me any Hajime-kun is cute.

You don't need to be depressed about building muscles. Actually, this will build up your cuteness, Hajime-kun.

Now then, we better drink our black tea before it gets cold, shall we? Accompanied with apple pie and dango tea snacks, how wonderful ♪

[1] pun game weak sorry !!! "chasing after" 追いし and "delicious" 美味し are spoken the same way "oishi." the original poem can be found on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furusato_(children%27s_song)
