| Kazunari | Ta-daaa~! |
| Muku | Wah! The roughs for the flyer are done!? |
| Kumon | Wow! They’re all so cool! |
| Kazunari | This one’s the pop art type, this one’s the cool type, this one’s got a Japanese painting style, this one is the heartthrob type, and this one is a triangle type—. |
| Misumi | Triangle~! |
| Tenma | That’s too many. |
| Yuki | Choosing is a pain.... |
| Kazunari | My fountain of inspiration just kept flowing! |
| Izumi | (Kazunari-kun has completely recovered!) |
| Let’s all decide on a flyer together! |
| |
| Then we’ll go with this rough design. |
| Kazunari | Ok! I’ll get started right away. |
| Yuki | We didn’t choose the rough with a Japanese painting style, but it’s pretty unique. |
| Tenma | It’s well-done. |
| Muku | It’s Kazu-kun’s area of expertise, after all. |
| Kazunari | Yup yup. This is another way I can make use of my skills! I’m glad I got greedy with all these drafts! |
| Izumi | I’m always looking forward to what you’ll show us next, Kazunari-kun! |

| *Phone ringing* |
| Kazunari | .... |
| Kazunari's Father | “...Hello? Kazunari?” |
| Kazunari | —Ah, yup. |
| Kazunari's Father | “What is it?” |
| Kazunari | Uh, uhm... You know how we talked a bit about my plans after graduation a little while back.... |
| Kazunari's Father | “Yes.” |
| Kazunari | Everything I’m interested in and working hard towards right now is important to me. I can’t choose just one. |
| That’s why I don’t want to hold myself back with a specific job label; I want to keep working on everything after graduation! |
| Kazunari's Father | “You’re going to keep working on everything?” |
| Kazunari | I’m gonna become an Ultra-multi-creator! |
| Kazunari's Father | “Ul...?” |
| Kazunari | UMC! |
| Kazunari's Father | “U-U... I see....” |
| “A nonconventional path is a very rough one to take.” |
| Kazunari | Yeah. |
| Kazunari's Father | “....” |
| Kazunari | P-Papi? |
| Kazunari's Father | “...Haha.” |
| “Back when you were in middle school, I thought you would go on to attend a good high school and college, and find a stable job at a reputable company... I thought that would be your career path.” |
| “I didn’t doubt otherwise, and that gave me a sense of relief.” |
| Kazunari | Sorr—.... |
| Kazunari's Father | “But it’s also quite fun to imagine what kind of future my son will have—a future where the outcomes are unpredictable.” |
| Kazunari | ——. |
| Kazunari's Father | “Regardless of what path you choose, Papa and Mama can’t wait to see what kind of future lies in store for you, Kazunari.” |
| “Of course we’re also worried. But we believe in your talent and hard work.” |
| Kazunari | —Yes, look forward to it. I’ll show Papi and Mami and Futaba a future that’ll astonish you! |
| Kazunari's Father | “Yes. We’ll be looking forward to it. Thank you for letting us feel that way.” |
| “Work hard. You should do what you want to do.” |
| Kazunari | Yup! |
| |
| ??? | You shitty old geezer! |
| Ichiro | Oi, bocchan[1]—. |
| Sakoda | Calm down, Azami! |
| Azami | Let go of me! |
| Chairman | Leave him! This cowardly bastard with a woman’s hobby is no successor of mine! |
| Azami | ——. I’m leaving! I’m never coming back to this kind of house! |
| Sakoda | Hey, Azami! |
| Chairman | Sakoda, keep an eye on him. He’ll come back soon enough anyway. |
| Sakoda | —Yessir! |
| |
| Azami | —hh. |
| Sakoda | Azami! |
| Azami | ——. |
| Sakoda | Where are you going!? |
| Azami | —Anywhere but that house. |
| Sakoda | You’ve got nowhere to go! |
| Azami | ...——. |
| Sakoda | Come on, calm down a little. |
| Azami | ...Help me, Ken-san. I don’t wanna go back to that house anymore. |
| Sakoda | I mean, I really wanna help, but my place is a four-and-a-half mat[2] room. |
| Azami | .... |
| Sakoda | ...That’s right! |
| Azami, can you make up with aniki? |
