| Misumi | … |
| Madoka | Who is it? |
| –Nii-san. |
| Misumi | Sorry coming here without notice. |
| Madoka | No need to apologize… This is also Nii-san’s home, after all. |
| Misumi | My home… |
| –You see, I have three requests for you, Madoka. |
| Madoka | Three? |
| Misumi | The first one is something that I’ve already said before. I wanna fly paper airplanes with you. |
| Back then, the only thing I could do well was making paper airplanes… |
| So I wanted to show it to you and get along. |
| But now I can also act. |
| That’s why I want both Madoka and Father to watch my upcoming lead play. That’s my second request. |
| I wish I could have invited you when we watched the fireworks the other day, but I didn’t have any courage… Sorry for being such a cowardly brother. |
| Madoka | In that case, I’m also the same as you. |
| There’s a lot of things I want to talk about with you, and I wanted to apologize for the things that happened in the past. But I couldn’t do it. |
| I’m sorry. |
| Misumi | Ehehe, so we’re the same. |
| Madoka | Yeah. |
| Misumi | Let’s do this, then. |
| Madoka | A handshake? |
| Misumi | I hope we can get along well in the future. |
| Madoka | I hope so too–. |
 |
| Madoka | *sniffles*… |
| Hakkaku | What’s wrong, Madoka? Why are you crying? |
| Madoka | I wish I could have a name like Nii-san’s. Madoka sounds so girly… |
| Hakkaku | Really? If I do say so myself, I think it’s a good name. |
| The kanji for your name is considered a symbol of peace, you see. And it has the same pronunciation as the kanji for “bond.” |
| Madoka | Symbol? |
| Hakkaku | Hm, I think it’s still too difficult for you. Put out your hand. |
| Madoka | Like this? |
| Hakkaku | Yeah. And then–. |
| Madoka | A handshake? |
| Hakkaku | Yeah. The kanji for your name connects people like this. |
| Madoka | Connecting people… |
 |
| Madoka | Nii-san, I also have a request for you. Can I say it? |
| Misumi | Of course! What is it? |
| Madoka | If you don’t mind… I want to go visit Grandfather’s grave with you. |
| Misumi | Huh? Can I really go there? |
| Madoka | Yeah. Let’s bring paper airplanes and meet Grandfather. I’ll tell Father about this. |
| Misumi | Where is Grandpa’s grave at? |
| Madoka | It’s in the countryside. There’s also a villa that Grandfather often used nearby. |
| Tenma | Villa? |
| Yuki | Don’t tell me–. |
| Kumon | It’s the villa that Hiro-san talked about!? |
| Madoka | –. |
| Muku | Ah, sorry… |
| Misumi | I brought them along. |
| Tenma | Say, is there really a villa nearby? |
| Madoka | Y-Yeah. There’s also a stream nearby. If you’re lucky, you can see fireflies there. |
| Kumon | Even fireflies!? Oh wow! |
| Misumi | Thanks, Madoka~! |
| *hugs* |
| Madoka | Whoa–Hold on, Nii-san…! |
| Yuki | He’s finally back to being himself. |
| Izumi | It’s not like Misumi-kun to act like before, right? |
| Madoka | Speaking of, Nii-san, what’s your last request…? |
| Misumi | Madoka has said it first, so it doesn’t matter anymore. |
| Kazunari | So that means we’re going to see fireflies next!? Maaan! I’m so hyped! |
| Muku | I feel like it’s been a while since I last watched fireflies. |
| Kumon | We’re doing a lot of fun things this summer! |
| Yuki | We still don’t know if we can see the fireflies, though. |
| Tenma | And we still have something important to do before that. |
| Izumi | Yup. We need to make this play a success. |
| Misumi | Definitely! Let’s make it our best performance! |
| See you later, then, Madoka. |
| Madoka | Yeah. Good luck on your play. |
| Izumi | We’re sorry for disturbing your time. |
| Misumi | Oh, yeah! I forgot. |
| I’m giving this to Madoka. |
 |
| Madoka | …A triangular ruler? |
| Misumi | It’s Grandpa’s ruler. He always used it when he wrote scripts. It’s your turn to use it, Madoka. |
| I’m sure Grandpa will be happy if you keep this. |
| Besides, I still have a lot of precious triangles, so I don’t mind giving it to you. |
| Madoka | Thanks, Nii-san. |
| Misumi | Write a lot of beautiful stories like Grandpa did, ‘kay? |
| Madoka | …Yes. I’ll also do my best. |
| |
 |
| Izumi | (Today is finally our opening night…) |
| (Even though a lot of things happened during rehearsals, both Misumi-kun and Kumon-kun were able to get back on their feed and we could finish preparing for the play fast.) |
| Misumi-kun, I saw Madoka-kun and Kusumi-san in the audience seats just now. |
| Misumi | Really!? |
| Izumi | And it looks like Hiro-san’s come to watch. |
| Tenma | –. |
| Yuki | What? You’re nervous? |
| Tenma | Hmph, no. Rather, I’m fired up. |
| Kazunari | If we make mistakes like him, I feel like Hiro-san will drop by the dressing room with a big smile on his face~. |
| Kumon | I can imagine that~. |
| Muku | You have a point… |
| Tenma | Don’t imagine that kind of thing! |
| Misumi | Alright~. Let’s huddle up, guys! |
| Let’s do our best to deliver a performance that only us can deliver. |
| We only have one chance to perform today’s show. Let’s make it our best show ever so that we won’t regret it later! |
| And then, let’s make it our best summer together! One, two, triangle~! |
| Kumon | Triangle! |
| Kazunari | Triangle! |
| Muku | Tri-Triangle! |
| Yuki | Yeah, yeah. |
| Tenma | You think I can do such a thing so suddenly like that!? |
| Izumi | Good luck, guys! |
