[b][color=ed1c24]"That's my baby sister, Elena."[/color][/b] Alexei said motioning at her as he looked at Kotori.

[b][color=ed1c24]"She's the girl behind your much loved bouquets."[/color][/b] he said to Elena who smiled brightly on learning of the fact. She waited for the girl to settle down before gently clutching her hand and giving her thanks.

[b][color=bc8dbf]"Thank you, Senpai for all those wonderful bouquets. I hope to be half as good as you someday."[/color][/b] she said with admiration.
