Part 1Part 2

Tenma	Banri-san, that thing we promised to do. Isn’t it about time to go?
Banri	Oh, it is, isn’t it. Director-chan, we’re heading out.
Izumi	Okay! See you later, be safe.
Banri	Ah…Actually, hang on.
Izumi	…?
Tenma	What’s wrong? Did you forget something?
Banri	Not that. Tenma, lend me your ear for a sec.
Tenma	…?
Izumi	(What is Banri-kun doing?)
Tenma	…Oh, that’s a good idea.
Banri	Right? Hey, Director-chan, are you free right now?
Izumi	Me? Well, yeah I think so. I was planning on going shopping for tonight’s dinner.
Banri	Then it’s decided. Director-chan will join us.
Tenma	You can go shopping after you come with us.
Izumi	Eh, right now!? Where are we going?
Tenma	It’s been a while since we’ve been there with the Director.
Izumi	What are you talking about!? I’m not following at all.
Banri	Come with us and you’ll see.
Izumi	(Where are they taking me…)
Banri	Set the mic in the middle of the table.
Tenma	Alright.
Izumi	T-This was about karaoke!?
Banri	Yep. It’s been a while since Director-chan joined us. We’re gonna relieve some stress.
Izumi	(This again…)
Tenma	I borrowed a tambourine for us. This is only going to be used by Director, so don’t slack off.
Izumi	(It’s the same as before…!)
Banri	‘Kay, there’s three of us, so should we do ‘that’ song first?
Tenma	Yeah.
Izumi	What song!?
Banri	Hey, Tenma, grab a mic.
Tenma	Right. Director, ready your tambourine.
Izumi	O-Okay.
	(The songs starting…)
Banri	I’m gonna be ♪ The super best ♪
Tenma	The best there ever was ♪
Izumi	(This song…Isn’t it also the same…)
Banri	I’ll tag ‘em before the rest ♪ I’ll get them all because~♪
Tenma	Gonna tag ‘em all ♪ Oh it’s the two of us~ ♪ You’re the only one I can trust~ ♪
Izumi	(Maybe this is a classic for these two…)
Banri	Now, Director-chan! The tambourine!
Izumi	Y-Yes!
Tenma	You’ll get it next time.
Izumi	Eh!? I thought I got it!?
Banri	You were out of sync that first time.
Izumi	S-Sorry!
	(Their demands aren’t as powerful as before!?)
	(I wonder if like this…I can make it to the end…)

Izumi	I’m a little worn out. L-Let’s take a breather….
Banri	Alright. We’re running low on drinks, so I guess we should pause.
	Anyways, Director-chan. You’re getting better and better at playing the tambourine.
Tenma	Mhm. You’re much better than last time.
Izumi	T-Thank you. Maybe it’s because of your spartan training…
Banri	Next we can find a song Director-chan can sing. I’m excited to hear it.
Izumi	Huh, me too?
Banri	Tenma, hand me that tablet. ….Director-chan could sing this one, right?
Tenma	I think so. It’s a popular one.
Izumi	I’m fine–.
Banri	It’s okay. You’re gonna get bored if you just play the tambourine.
Tenma	Leave that part to me. I’ll play with absolutely perfect timing.
Izumi	I guess I can’t refuse if you’re both this excited about it…
Banri	Look, the intro’s started. Director-chan, mic.
Izumi	(Ugu…I can’t get out of this…)
Banri	Let’s go, Tenma.
Tenma	Right.
Izumi	(This is too much pressure for karaoke…)
Izumi	Haa~! That was a lot of fun!
Tenma	You seemed reluctant, but once you started singing, you went crazy.
Izumi	The two of you were so excited, I had to sing loud.
Banri	That’s alright sometimes. Director-chan, put a banger on next.
Tenma	Let’s keep going!
Izumi	Okay!
Sakyo	Director-san, about that previous matter.
Izumi	Oh, yeah. It’s the usual plan, isn’t it.
Azuma	….Director, what’s wrong with your voice? You’re hoarse, did you catch a cold?
Izumi	No, it’s not that! Don’t worry, I’m not sick!
	(I can’t admit it’s because I sang too much at karaoke…)
Omi	I’m home. The supermarket near the station had a sale on onions, so I bought quite a bit.
Azuma	Wow, that is a lot.
Izumi	It must be hard to carry so much. Let me take some.
Omi	Thank you.
Izumi	Ugu….ouch ouch ouch!
Omi	Are you okay?
Izumi	I-I’m fine…It’s nothing…
	(And now my whole body is sore…)
	(I guess it’s from hitting the tambourine so many times…)
	(If I go to karaoke again, maybe I should make sure it doesn’t interfere with the next day….)
