Guy……….
CitronGuy. You’re looking roomy[1] as always!
GuyWhat look is that?
Citron<Are things going well?>
Guy?
<Well, I guess they are.>
CitronThat’s what you call a sweet peach![2]
GuyWhat is that.
CitronI’ll lend you this.
GuyA four character idiom dictionary?
CitronYou might be able to use it to think of a name for the bar.
GuyI see… I’ll take a look. Thank you.
CitronSheesh, you’re such a spoonful[3]!
Azuma……..
GuyYukishiro? Did something happen?
AzumaNo, just thinking. —What is that?
GuyI borrowed it from Citronia. He said it might help me think of a name for the bar.
AzumaI see. It’s very prince-like.
Guy…What’s that key?
AzumaMy house key. There’s no reason to still have it though, with my house being gone and all.
Guy………
AzumaSorry, sorry, it’s fine. I have that tonight, too.
GuyAh—.
AzumaExcuse me.
HomareWelcome to the winter harasho sleepy sleepy paradise, room 205, the place to sleep with others!
HisokaZzz…
AzumaWhat a name.
I never thought I would be the customer when sleeping with others.
HomareBut it is a good idea, is it not?
If Winter Troupe sleeps with you in rotation, you, Azuma-san, will no longer have nightmares, and Guy-san doesn’t have to close his store forever!
AzumaYou’re right.
HomareNow, I’ve prepared a pillow for you that is famous among the editors for granting a beautiful night’s sleep!
And to further guarantee it, I’ve created many poems and even prepared some herbal tea!
AzumaAmazing. It feels fun, almost like a sleepover.
HomareLack of sleep isn’t good - make sure to sleep well.
AzumaThen I’ll take you up on your kind offer.
HomareZzz…
AzumaOya oya… If you fall asleep now, you’ll get sick.
Good night.
Hisoka…Sleeping with people wouldn’t be a good job for Arisu.
AzumaYou woke up?
HisokaI thought it would turn out like this, so I slept beforehand.
AzumaI see. Here, a gift - fruit marshmallows.
Hisoka…Nom.
…Munch munch. It’s good.
AzumaI’m glad.
Hisoka…Do you want to throw away your past, Azuma?
AzumaThat’s quite direct.
…I don’t know. I might have thought that before.
What I lost was so substantial, and so sad, and even remembering it was so painful…
But I don’t want to forget my precious family. So at the very least, I don’t think of it like that.
Hisoka…That’s good.
…I wanted to throw away my past. I thought it would be better to not have a past, so I could move forward.
…But that was wrong. I can’t throw it away, even now— it’s an important part of me.
Azuma………
Hisoka…Azuma’s similar to me, so I thought that your trying to sell the plot was because you wanted to throw away your past.
Azuma…It’s not that I want to throw it away, but it might be something similar.
You and Guy, everyone else, too - you’ve conquered your past and you’re moving forward. I’m still trapped by that day.
Even if I think I’ve progressed, I always end up back where I started.
And that’s just so pathetic, and if I’m to be pulled back to that empty place, I thought it might be better to just let go.
Hisoka…It’s empty?
AzumaIt is just a plot now.
Hisoka…Hm. I don’t really get it, but I’m glad I could go to that cliff with Winter Troupe.
There was nothing left, but I think I changed because I went.
…So, you’ll be fine, Azuma. You’ll move forward. I don’t have any reasoning, though.
Azuma…Hisoka really is strong.
Hisoka…No. Everyone made me strong.
Yawn…
AzumaSleepy?
Hisoka…All that talking made me tired, so I’ll sleep now.
Zzz…
AzumaFufu, good night.
…I wonder if I’ll be able to become strong, too.

Notes

  1. Actually gloomy
  2. I tried to figure out what he meant here but I couldn’t (I discussed it with members of A3 wikicord too, but no one could figure it out). For reference, Citron said “甘いモモ”. Please dm me or send in an ask if you figure it out!
  3. Actually “handful”
