| Tsumugi | This store here. It’s owned by the uncle of a student that I’ve been home-tutoring for. |
| The owner apparently used to be a pastry artisan before, so he turns the store into a bakery during the mornings. |
| Banri | Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning that you and Director-chan bought some bread together before. So this is where you got them? |
| Owner | Ah, Sensei! Welcome. I’m happy to see you here again. |
| Tsumugi | Good afternoon. I wanted to let you know that my friends from the troupe really liked the bread I bought from before. |
| Banri | It was really good. |
| Owner | That’s great then! Thank you so much. |
| Tsumugi | This place also offers a breakfast set menu. Oh, and the coffee’s really nice too. Mornings are basically the best time to visit. |
| Banri | Really? |
| Owner | Ahaha, this is all just a hobby. But I’m having fun doing it. |
| I’m currently in the middle of coming up with this latte recipe that uses rose syrup. |
| Tsumugi | Rose syrup… Heh, that’s surely unique. |
| Owner | Actually, there’s apparently this French-themed fair that’s happening in this high-class hotel called the "La Verite." |
| There were selling roses for wholesale price over there. |
| The organizer also came over today, and while we were looking at the roses I came up with this idea. |
| Once this recipe is complete, I hope you two can come over to try it sometime. |
| Tsumugi | I’d love to. |
| Banri | Rose syrup, huh… It sounds sweet just from impressions alone. I’m alright with just regular coffee, thanks. |
| Owner | Haha, come now, don’t say that. At least try it out. |
| |
| |
| ??? | So this is Amabi… |
| (Veludo Arts University—a place known for producing many famous artists… That young man there, even that lady there. I wonder if they’re also going to be new seeds of this home of the arts…) |
| Student A | Woah, no way!? |
| Student B | It’s true. Shocking, right? |
| Banri | Damn, that’s pretty sick. |
| ??? | (It’s that young man from yesterday’s cafe…!) |
| (Even here he really stands out from the crowd. Who is he, really? I’ve come all this way and yet the name is just on the tip of my tongue…) |
| Banri | See ya guys. I’ve got somewhere to be. |
| Student A | Oh, laters~ |
| Student C | I heard he’s heading to a workshop after this. Even after all the classes we had today. |
| Student A | Seriously? Doesn’t he do practices in his troupe too? No matter how you look at it, he’s really crazy for theatre. |
| Student B | Haha, you’re right about that. It’s really amazing, you gotta respect it. |
| Student C | My first impression of him was that he was just a guy with high specs who can live his life real easy, but he turned out to be quite unexpected. |
| Student A | I know right? Man, we’re really no match for someone like Settsu. |
| ??? | …Settsu? |
| Ahh!!!! It’s MANKAI Company’s Settsu Banri!! |
| Students | !?! |
| Student A | Uhm… Are you perhaps a fan of Settsu? |
| ??? | Ah, sorry! Please don’t mind me… |
| (It’s all coming back to me now! Ahh, what a relief~) |
| (Moreover, they mentioned him appearing as someone with high specs that can live an easy life, huh…) |
| (Now that I think about, I had the very same first impression on that kid.) |
| (I still don’t know much about him, but I’m certain the “Settsu Banri” that I see and the “Settsu Banri” that he thinks of himself as are completely different.) |
| (...Banri-san, huh.) |
| Alright. It’s decided. |
