| Azami | .... |
| Kazunari | Ta-da~!! |
| Azami | ...? |
| Kazunari | You barely reacted! I need you to act a little more surprised here! |
| Azami | What is it? |
| Kazunari | I wanted to give you a thank-you gift for helping out today—. |
| Here! Takoyaki, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, crepe, buttered potato, shaved ice, hot dog, and obanyaki[1]! |
| Azami | That’s too much. |
| Kazunari | Eh~? I thought it wouldn’t be enough. |
| Azami | I can’t eat this much. |
| Kazunari | Then let’s eat together. |
| Azami | ...Thanks. |
| Kazunari | How was the fashion show? |
| Azami | It was so busy. |
| Kazunari | It was a battlefield, right? But it was a total hit. |
| Azami | I didn’t have time to watch. |
| Kazunari | Ah, I see.... |
| That’s right! I took tons of Insta pics, so I’ll show you later. The show was a riot! Everyone was so excited. |
| Azami | ...Well, it was fun working backstage too. I usually don’t get the chance to do makeup for so many models. |
| Kazunari | I’m glad! |
| Azami | Thank you for the opportunity. |
| Kazunari | You’re welcome~! |
| By the way, Azamin, why’d you turn down that part-time job? |
| You can handle a part-time job alongside school and the troupe, right? |
| Azami | .... |
| Kazunari | Are you unsure about your future? |
| Azami | ...Can’t you kind of tell? My family is the yakuza, so. The only thing they tell me is to succeed the family. |
| Kazunari | But you said you wanted more makeup experience. Isn’t that what you really want to do? |
| Azami | Even if it is, there’s nothing I can do about it. There’s no one else who can succeed the family. |
| Kazunari | But if you’re serious about it—. |
| Azami | —I don’t know what I really want to do either. |
| Kazunari | Azamin.... |
| Azami | I was always told to succeed my dad. That’s how I was raised. Being born into a yakuza family—I don’t think I can do any other job, either. |
| But I had so much fun doing makeup that I even rebelled and ran away from home. But my feelings are still half-hearted—I’m still lost. |
| I’m more confused than anyone else. |
| Kazunari | ...Sorry for being a busybody. |
| But Azamin, the reason you can’t devote yourself entirely even though you ran away from home is because you treasure your family too, right? |
| Azami | No, I don’t care about that house.... |
| Well, I guess I don’t hate Ken-san, or the rest of the guys in Ginsenkai. Everyone except shithead Sakyo and my shitty old man.... |
| Kazunari | Giving up your house for your dream, and giving up your dream for your house. For you, they’re both equally heavy decisions, right, Azamin? |
| That’s why you can’t choose. |
| Azami | .... |
| Kazunari | I also had a really hard time thinking about my future just a little while back, so I think I know how you feel. |
| Azami | Did you decide? |
| Kazunari | Yup. I only just realized, but you can also choose to not choose. |
| Azami | Not choose? |
| Kazunari | A way you can avoid throwing either option away—a way you can not choose! 100 likes to Azamin if you can find a solution like that, too! |
| Azami | Choosing both.... |
| Kazunari | Ehehe, I’m kinda embarrassed from all this serious talk! I need to help out with the display, so I’ll be off now! |
| Azami | Yeah. |
| .... |
| (A way I can obtain both the yakuza household and my dream of becoming a makeup artist....) |
| |
| Azami | .... |
| Rough Student A | —Stop right there. |
| Rough Student B | We fi~nally found you. |
| Azami | ...Aah? |
