She Took Your Cookies Behind a Curtain. You Are Eating Them on the Train.
To say simple wrapping, please in Japanese, say 簡易包装でお願いします (kan'i hōsō de onegai shimasu).
Your app never mentioned this. She vanished with your cookies to wrap a masterpiece. You are opening it on the shinkansen.

Why this phrase
Textbook vs real at a depachika or department-store counter. Kofuku waits politely while Hana, as the clerk, starts full gift wrap. Locals cut it with 「簡易包装でお願いします」. Scene: a food counter with wrapping paper and ribbon. Same buy, no theater.
