Izumi	Finally, tomorrow we leave for Zahra.
Kazunari	Megaaaa pumped for the training camp! I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep I’m so excited!
Tsuzuru	Good grief.... Are we in kindergarten now?
Taichi	Huh....
Tsuzuru	Hm? What’s wrong, Taichi?
Kazunari	Are you tired or something~?
Taichi	Well, it’s just that I’m not done packing yet....
Kazunari	Huh!? Taicchan, you’re still not done packing!?
Izumi	You put your passport in your bag, right?
Taichi	Of course! I didn’t wanna risk it getting lost so it’s already in my carry on!
Banri	I’m back.
Taichi	Ban-chan, wow someone’s back late today.
Banri	I had some questions after my last class.
Kazunari	Settsaa, so diligent!
Taichi	Did you finish packing your bags, Ban-chan!? We leave tomorrow!
Banri	I finished sometime yesterday I think.
Taichi	For real!? Wow that’s our Ban-chan, super fast!
Kazunari	Taicchan is really cutting it close~!
Banri	Yea.
Izumi	Ahaha....
Taichi	Anyway, I am looking forward to going sightseeing and stuff~! This is Autumn and Summer Troupe’s first time going to Zahra!
Banri	Yeaaa, some guys from university asked me to take some photos.
Kazunari	Really? They asked Settsaa too? They asked me the same thing!
Tsuzuru	If I recall the architecture and cityscape of Zahra are really beautiful.
Izumi	Yea, yea. There are probably tons of cool places for pictures.
Kazunari	Then I gotta take pics of all those spots~
Taichi	Yea, totally! I’m so excited!
Izumi	.... Hmmm.
	(It’s pretty fun to just wonder around by myself. The curry restaurant Chikage had recommended was super good!)
	(I wonder how I could replicate that taste at home....)
	(I am sure they used a bunch of different spices, but I think it was the atmosphere that made it taste extra good.)
	(The city is so beautiful..... uh, hmm? Where have I seen that building before.....?)
	(WOW... What a pretty mosque!)

Izumi	(Oh of course, that’s the mosque I found when I was searching up this area.)
	(I wanna go and check out the inside, but it’s almost time to meet up with the others....)
	Yeaa.... I think I should stop here for today. But we have quite the packed schedule from tomorrow onwards.... ehh, hm?
	(There’s a poster over here.... It... lights up?)
	.... Could this be so you can read it at night?
	(I think I can make some time today, I’ll come back later.)
	(For the time being, I gotta focus on meeting up with everyone else and...)
Taichi	Hm? Is that the director?
	Wow , it is! Heyyyy director~!
Izumi	Ah, Taichi. And Banri is with you too.
Banri	Walking around alone?
Izumi	Yea. I thought I would try and just take a stroll through the city myself today.
Taichi	Oh I see! Glad we ran into you~
Izumi	Are you two walking around together today?
Taichi	Yea! Ban-chan knows about tons of places!
Banri	Nah, I just did some research ahead of time of some of the most popular tourist spots.
Taichi	I took so many photos!
Izumi	Ahaha, that’s great.
	What about you, Banri? You said your university friends had asked you to take photos.
Banri	Yea here and there. Well, I mean I still gotta take the pictures of places I wanna show them.
Izumi	Is that so?
Banri	Yea, I plan to go take some more photos later.
Taichi	Wow, it’s almost time for us to meet up with the others! Sakyo’s gonna get mad if we’re late!
Izumi	Oh, you’re right. We gotta go quickly!
Banri	He gets so naggy if we’re late.
Taichi	Running running, we gotta get back to the meeting spot!
Izumi	Wow, tonight's dinner was delicious.
	(Eating all these delicious meals every day makes me wanna live here.)
	(They have tons of spices, the city is pretty...)
	... Oh, now that I think about it, I saw that mosque this afternoon. What did that light up poster say it was open until?
	(I’ll just look it up on my phone.)
	Hmmm.... Seems like there still is some time before it closes.
	..... Alright, I’m gonna go check it out!

Izumi	Oh, hey Banri.
Banri	Director?
	What are you doing, you got your bag and-- wait, are you gonna go out?
Izumi	Yea, there’s one place I wanna visit.
Banri	...... Even if we’re in Zahra, it’s dangerous to go out at night in a foreign country by yourself.
	Yea, I’m gonna go with you, wait a sec.
Izumi	Ehh, Banri, I-- He’s already gone.
Izumi	WOW!!! SO PRETTY!
Banri	Woww, the real thing is totally different from the pictures.
Izumi	It’s like we’re inside a kaleidoscope...! It just feels really mysterious.
Banri	Oh.... I see, you wanted to come here to see this mosque.
Izumi	I’m sorry to make you come all the way out here with me just for this.
Banri	Don’t apologise. I came because I wanted to go out somewhere with you, director.
	Well, actually, those guys back at my university wanted some pictures of a night mosque.
	So it works out perfectly that this is the place we came to.
Izumi	I see.... Glad it worked out.
	Anyway, take a look at the stained glass. Wow, it really makes a big impact on the atmosphere of the space. Seeing this all at night with the lights reflecting makes it feel like we are drifting in a fantasy....!
CHOICE 1: I feel like I’m getting lost in another world...! [+] Izumi I feel like I’m getting lost in another world...! Banri .... Mhm.. Izumi Hey, you’re laughing. Banri Sorry, it’s just that I haven’t seen you like this in quite a while, I was thinking about how cute you look right now. Izumi -- Banri Oh, are you shy now? Izumi D-Don’t tease me! Banri Haha, I was just kidding.
CHOICE 2: This is a great spot for a photo. [+] Izumi This is a great spot for a photo. Banri Kazunari would be happy. Izumi Ahaha, he would. Seems like a photo here would be enough to impress your university friends. Banri Looks like this angle would make a good photo. Hey director, come over here. Izumi Wow, it is. I gotta take a photo for myself too!
Banri	So, looks like we are supposed to continue walking down there--
Kazunari	Huh? Hey, could that be director and Settsaa?
Izumi	Kazunari and Misumi?
Misumi	What a coincidence~!
Izumi	Wow so you two came here too.
Kazunari	Duh, of course we had to come! We travelled all this way after all, we had to take pics of all the best spots!
	Also my friends asked for tons of pictures of the best spots in Zahra!
	This light up mosque is toottalllly insta-blammable!
Banri	No surprise there.
Misumi	I came with Kazu to look for foreign triangles!
Izumi	Ahaha, there are quite a lot of triangles here.
Kazunari	Yea yea, hey hey it’s not fair you got here before us! Hey, director, do you guys wanna walk around with us?
Misumi	Let’s all search for triangles together! Banri’s also good at finding triangles, right?
Kazunari	LET’S GOOOO EVERYONE! C’mon, director!
Izumi	H-Hey, wait up you two.
Banri	My god... Well guess this is how it is.
Kazunari	Hey, hurry up Settsaa~!
Banri	Yea yea, I’m coming.
