Chiyo walked up to Osaka, and handed her a brightly-colored roll of paper. "This is for you, Miss Osaka—"

"Thank you, Chiyo-chan!" Osaka eagerly began to unroll the paper. "I wonder what it could be?..."

Chiyo sweat-dropped. "Um..."

The paper fell away. "It's a cardboard tube!" Osaka said happily. "You sure wrapped it up good, Chiyo-chan."

Apparently, Chiyo thought to herself, Miss Osaka forgot that she asked me to buy wrapping paper for her.

Osaka held up the tube to one eye, like a telescope. "I see you, Chiyo-chan!"

Chiyo giggled. But if she's happy, it doesn't matter, Chiyo thought.
