"Since I'm apparently not allowed to make my Kaito Style Birthday Cake Extravaganza, or anything else in the kitchen for that matter, that means I had to think even harder for what I was gonna give you today." *there's an incredibly proud, if not slightly smug look on kaito's face as he places his hands on his hips, a medium-sized present resting right beside him*

"After thinking long and hard, I finally came up with a solution! Not only would it not be fun to just get you something normal, but I know that chefs always want the freshest ingredients. So, why not combine those two into the perfect gift!" *and if she were to open the box she'll find a shiitake mushroom grow kit inside that's all ready for her to use!*

"Nothing's more fresh than a mushroom that's growing right on the log, right? Lemme know when the mushrooms are ready to eat, I wanna see what you're gonna cook with them, haha~!!"

"Oh god, I can only imagine what such a cake would entail." She chortles, knowing it or anything he would have made if he could, definitely would have been crazy! "Well, even if you couldn't make that, I know that whatever else you came up with will still be just as nice, Kaito!" And that proud look on his face as she looks towards the present, only made her all the more confident that it will be a nice surprise.

"Ohhh? I see, I see... haha, you aren't wrong about that: the fresher the ingredients, the better! Plus, I always love a good surprise! Now I'm even more eager to see what you got me...!" Opening the box, her eyes widen in surprise when seeing the shiitake mushroom growing kit inside. She knows it was supposed to be an unexpected gift, but as she pulls it out of the box to get a full look at it, she truly was caught be surprise!

"O-Oh wow, you weren't kidding: this really is surprising, hahaha! In a good way, of course! I love shiitake mushrooms! I never grew them from a log, before, ooo... I can't wait to try doing that~! Yes, definitely! Hehe, I'll definitely be thinking of lots of different recipes where I can utilize them well, and you'll be the first one to know once I do!" Carefully placing the kit down, she goes over to pull Kaito into a big hug~

"Thank you sooo much, Kaito! You always come up with the best surprises! I always love to try growing my own ingredients, so this will be so fun to use: I promise to make the mushrooms come out excellently! Thanks for making today even more awesome~!"
