Every Confection and Sweet Drink We Have Ever Tried
"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” This quote is really famous you can see it on many printable items out there.

Send the Beloved Child on a Journey
かわいいこにはたびをさせよ。(Kawaii ko niwa tabi o saseyo) - Send the beloved child on a journey.
