Part 1Part 2

Hisoka	I’m heading out.
Izumi	Oh Hisoka-san. Got an errand?
Hisoka	Nah. Part-time.
Izumi	A part-time job? It’s a bit too early for Guy-san to open his bar at this hour…
Hisoka	I got part-time today at this general antique store before that. They only requested a few days… So I’m heading there now.
Izumi	Is that so? Take care on your way out then!
Hisoka	I will.
Furuta	Sorry again for taking your time. I’ll leave the store to you then.
Hisoka	…Sure thing.
Nosta	Meoow.
Hisoka	Looks like we’re in this together, huh, Nosta.
Nosta	Meow.
	*entrance bell rings*
Banri	Oh, so he really is here.
Tsumugi	Good afternoon, Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	…Welcome.
	What are you guys doing here?
Tsumugi	We were just on our way back from a cafe so we thought to stop by.
	We heard about your part-time job from the Director when we left the dorms.
Banri	We thought about peeking in to see if you were in, but to think you actually are just right here.
Hisoka	That so.
Banri	…Wow, some of the stuff here look like they were imported.
Hisoka	Yeah.
Tsumugi	Oh this cup here is so cute!
Hisoka	I heard that one just came in recently.
Tsumugi	Looks just perfect to have a cup of coffee with.
Banri	You should buy it then.
Tsumugi	Eh? Hmm… That’s true. Since we’re here, we might as well buy something huh?
Hisoka	This one comes in a paired set. Is that okay?
Tsumugi	That’s alright. We just bought some coffee beans today too. If we brew some, you’ll drink from this too, won’t you, Banri-kun?
Banri	I mean, if you’re offering I guess I would….
Tsumugi	You would, right? Setting the atmosphere is pretty important after all.
Hisoka	Hmm… Well, not really my business.
	Here, got it packed.
Tsumugi	Thank you. Good luck with your job!
	*entrance bell rings*
Hisoka	Welcome.
Azuma	Fufu, Hisoka.
Hisoka	Did you also come to check up on me, Azuma?
Azuma	Hm? Has someone else also come by here?
Hisoka	If it’s guys from the dorm, Tsumugi seemed to be the first one. He bought a cup to drink his coffee with. And a bunch of stuff too troublesome to me...
Azuma	Ohoh. Is that right? I only just heard about it, so it was a good coincidence that I happened to have an errand near the area too.
	I remember we went to this store together last time, so I thought to drop by. I was hoping that I might just have another fateful encounter again.
Hisoka	Encounter, huh…
Azuma	Even our encounter now makes me feel like there must be some sort of chance that we must take advantage of.
	Though, perhaps I’m being too superstitious.
Hisoka	Who knows…
Azuma	But wouldn’t it be fascinating if that really were the case?
Hisoka	…Yeah.
Nosta	Meooow.
Azuma	Fufu, even Nosta seems to agree with us on that.

Furuta	Thanks for your hard work. You really helped me out.
Hisoka	…It’s been a good while, so I enjoyed it.
Furuta	That makes me happy to hear that.
	Oh, that’s right. As extra thanks for helping out with the last few days, you’re free to take home anything from the store that fancies you.
Hisoka	…I’m not sure what to get even if you tell me that.
Furuta	You sure you’re not interested in anything?
Hisoka	I wonder.
Nosta	Meeeooow.
Hisoka	What do you think I should get?
Nosta	Meew.
Furuta	Haha, looks like Nosta wants you to choose this plate here.
	Nosta is pretty picky with its plates, so it won’t eat from a plate unless it’s a specific one it chose.
Hisoka	Hehh….
	You’re saying I should get this plate then?
Nosta	Meow.
Hisoka	Then I’ll be taking this one.
Furuta	You chose a good piece. You know, that plate is said to be able to bring in good luck.
	I think something good will happen to you for sure.
Hisoka	Really…
	I’m home
Omi	Welcome back, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	What’re you doing there?
Omi	There’s a dessert I wanted to make so I’m making some preparations.
Hisoka	That so.
	(I should go put away the plate I got into the cupboard.)
Omi	What’s that plate in your hands?
Hisoka	I got it from my part-time.
Omi	!!
	…Would it be alright for you to lend that plate to me? Just for a moment.
Hisoka	…? I guess it’s fine.
Omi	Here you go.
Hisoka	Waah, can I really eat it?
Omi	Of course.
Hisoka	I’m digging in…… Mhm. It’s really tasty.
Omi	Your plate had this antique feel to it and it gave me some inspiration.
Hisoka	From this plate, huh…
	(...Dishes are all washed.)
	*doorbell rings*
Izumi	Sorry, can someone go fetch the door for me? My hands are kinda busy right now.
Hisoka	Got it.
Homare	…Oh dear me. Who could just forget to leave their plate here? Oh, but this is quite a nice-looking plate.
	I know! What would it look like if I try putting some marshmallows on this?
	Oooh, it does look quite suiting… AHA!
	Poetic inspiration has struck me! I must hurry and write this down in the soonest…!
	*door closes*
Hisoka	(...There's something on the plate I just dried.)
	Marshmallows…! So much of them too.
	(chomp chomp chomp)…
	(snores)
Tenma	I’m home.
	Hey, Hisoka-san, if you sleep like that you’re gonna get in trouble again……
	…Ah, speaking of. This guy mentioned he likes guimauves, didn’t he?
	I know I received some from today’s… Ah, there it is.
	Guess I’ll just leave it here on this plate.
Hisoka	…(wakes up)
	(There’s sweets on the plate again…!!)
	…Amazing. The myth about the lucky plate… It might be true after all.
