Part 1Part 2

Izumi	I'm home~
Azuma	Aah, welcome back, Director.
Hisoka	Welcome back. Om nom nom...
Izumi	Oh, you're awake today, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	Yeah.
Azuma	Haha, it's because there's something he's looking forward to, am I right?
Izumi	What is it?
Hisoka	Limited edition Halloween marshmallows. Arisu is buying it for me.
Azuma	Apparently it's pretty hard to get due to its limited quantity, but Homare said he'll buy it while he's out.
Izumi	Hard-to-find marshmallows, huh? I'm curious to know what it tastes like.
Hisoka	Marshmallows are delicious in general, so the Halloween marshmallows should be super duper delicious.
Azuma	Haha, I'm looking forward to it.
	But sweet shops these days don't only have Western sweets, but also their own special Halloween sweets and treats, huh.
Izumi	That's true! There are so many different kinds, it's fun just looking at them.
Hisoka	...He's here.
Izumi	Huh?
Homare	I've arrived home.
Izumi	How did you notice that, Hisoka-san?!
Hisoka	Marshmallows.
Homare	Good grief...that's the first word you utter to me after I've just arrived home?
Hisoka	Welcome back. My marshmallows?
Homare	Unfortunately...they got sold out right before my very eyes. I apologize about that.
Hisoka	...I've been waiting here all morning.
Azuma	Now, now. You already know that it's pretty hard to get. It can't be helped.
Hisoka	Marshmallows...
Homare	If you want it so badly, why don't you go get it yourself once in a while?
	There is a sense of accomplishment that comes from the struggle of getting something you like.
Izumi	(That surprisingly made some sense...)
Azuma	There's a variety of Halloween sweets in town, so maybe there are marshmallows, too.
Izumi	That's right!
Hisoka	...Okay. I'll find it myself.
	......
Kazunari	Huh, if it isn't Hisohiso!
Hisoka	What are you guys doing here?
Kazunari	We're out to buy some Halloween candies and sweets~!
	Right, Hyodle?
Juza	Yeah. Do you have somethin' to do here, Hisoka-san?
Hisoka	I'm looking for the limited edition Halloween marshmallows.
Kazunari	Forreal? Perfect timing! Let's go together~! We'll look for your marshmallows, too!
Hisoka	Okay. Thanks.
Kazunari	Okay, then, Halloween Sweets & Marshmallows & Candies Explorers, gooo!
Hisoka	Gooo.
Juza	'Kay.
Kazunari	Hm...Hisohiso's marshmallows aren't here, huh~
Juza	It's pretty popular.
Kazunari	The candies and sweets were there though! Isn't it too rare?!
Hisoka	No...marshmallows...
Kazunari	Let's look for it a bit more! We haven't searched over there.
Hisoka	Okay. I'll definitely find those marshmallows...
Staff	Please take this flyer~ We also have prizes for you~
Juza	...!
	...Hisoka-san, is this the one you want?
Kazunari	What is it~? A flyer?
	Ah! This is...
Hisoka	...There are marshmallows.

	(Door knocks)
Izumi	Come in.
Hisoka	Director.
Izumi	What's up, Hisoka-san?
Hisoka	Have you gotten your Halloween costume from Yuki yet?
Izumi	Yeah, mine is a prisoner's costume this year. What's wrong?
Hisoka	I want you to wear it and go out with me.
Izumi	Go out...? While wearing this costume?
Hisoka	Yeah. I can only ask for your help. Is it no good?
Izumi	Well, I have no plans, so...
	(What is he up to...?)
Hisoka	Director, here.
Izumi	Huh? This place is...
Host	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!
	It's that time of the year again! A question to all the couples here, do you guys love each other?!
Contestants	Yeeees!!
Izumi	(I'm feeling a sense of deja vu here...)
	Hisoka-san, could this be...
Hisoka	A Halloween couple costume contest.
Izumi	I knew it...! This is the same event that I came to with Kazunari-kun before.
	As I recall, we were given a theme to perform an improvised play based on your costumes.
Hisoka	Yeah, I heard that you and Kazunari have entered this contest before.
	A couple of men and women are required to compete, so I asked for you to come.
Izumi	No way, you're not planning to compete in this or anything, are you?
Hisoka	We are. For the Halloween marshmallows.
Izumi	So those marshmallows are the prize? But my acting is really hammy, you know?!
	Plus, we only got the consolation prize last time...
Hisoka	It's okay, I'm sure we'll get those marshmallows.
Izumi	(...Does that mean the marshmallows are the consolation prize since he's okay pairing up with me?)
Host	Then, the next couple, please!
Hisoka	Leave everything to me. Come on, let's get going.
Izumi	(Ugh, I can't turn back now...I have no choice but to leave it up to him!)
Hisoka	"You finally ended up in prison, huh? Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you here."
Izumi	"...I'll get out of this place soon!"
Hisoka	"Keep running that big mouth of yours. You can't escape from me anymore."
Izumi	"Ugh..."
	(His face is way too close...!)
Hisoka	"I won't do anything bad if you stay quiet. I also won't let the others get to you."
	"I'll protect you."
Izumi	(I mean, even if the marshmallows are the consolation prize, Hisoka-san still seems pretty serious about the play...)
	"I-I won't let you do as you please...!"
Hisoka	"You might be acting stubborn now, but you'll come crying to me soon enough. Life is tough here."
Izumi	"...Ugh."
Hisoka	"I like that part of you. That cheeky, and stubborn part of you."
	"I will take good care of you. And I'm sure you'll thank me for that in the near future."
Izumi	We managed to make it through somehow...
	(By the way, Hisoka-san really said some sweet words earlier...)
Host	I'll announce the results now! The winner is...the first pair who played as the princess and the butler!
Hisoka	......
Izumi	(Well, it's definitely not an easy feat to win...)
Host	Next up is the announcement of the special award! And the award goes to...the two who played the guard and the prisoner!
Izumi	What...?!
Host	Congratulations on winning the "Sweet Dialogue Award"~! The prize is an assortment of sweets~!
Hisoka	...Thank you.
Izumi	Hisoka-san, that's...
Hisoka	I finally got the Halloween marshmallows.
Izumi	You were aiming for this award in the first place...?
Hisoka	Yeah.
Izumi	S-so that's what it was...
	(I just assumed it was the consolation prize, I didn't know there was a prize for something like that...)
	(So that's why there was a ridiculous amount of sweet lines.)
Hisoka	It's yummy.
Izumi	Geez...you didn't tell me anything, Hisoka-san.
CHOICE 1: I wish you would've told me. [+] Izumi I wish you would've told me. Hisoka I thought you'd get nervous if I told you. It's easier to act natural when you're not overwhelmed. Izumi (...It certainly would have been more awkward if I'd known what award Hisoka-san was after.) Hisoka I liked the fact that you were confused, you really looked like a prisoner. Izumi R-really...?
CHOICE 2: Your acting was really good, though. [+] Izumi Your acting was really good, though. Your lines even made me a bit nervous, Hisoka-san. Hisoka Your acting as a prisoner was also good. Izumi Thanks to you for taking the lead. Hisoka "Since you've been a good girl, I'll praise you." Izumi What?! Hisoka Haha...I'm just kidding. Izumi (It didn't sound like a joke because he said it so suddenly...)
Hisoka	It was thanks to you that I got the Halloween marshmallows. So thanks.
Izumi	Well, I'm happy for you...
Hisoka	This is a surprise for you. You can have mine, too.
Izumi	This is...a curry shop coupon in Velvet Town?
Hisoka	Yeah, the consolation prize from the contest.
Izumi	So the consolation prize was a curry coupon...
Hisoka	I'm glad we both got what we wanted.
Izumi	(...I feel like I was cheated somehow.)
Hisoka	This marshmallow is delicious.
Izumi	(He looks really happy... And I also got a curry coupon, so I guess it's fine.)
