Izumi	Hmm... I wonder which one...
Yuki	The pastel-colored ones are cute.
Muku	Wow... There's also pink and light blue ones!
Azuma	I think the odd ones are cute too.
Izumi	Indeed. Everyone is so cute...
Homare	Hm? What are you doing?
Izumi	Ah, Homare-san.
	My friend gave birth to a baby recently so I thought I'd choose a teddy bear as a present but there are so many to choose from.
Homare	My, what a wonderful thing to celebrate!
	Shall I recite my very own poem of celebration--
Yuki	No, thanks. We don't need it.
Azuma	Looks like you can choose a teddy bear to match the height and weight of the newborn child too.
Yuki	Isn't it made to order? It's one digit more expensive than the others.
Izumi	It's way beyond my budget.
Azuma	Should I buy it for you?
Yuki	That defeats the purpose.
Muku	What do you think, Arisu-san?
Homare	Hrm... A teddy bear, huh. I have the same one in my house.
Izumi	Is that so?
Homare	Apparently, It was a commemorative gift when I was born. My mother showed it to me when I went back to my parents' house the other day.
	I even took a picture. The teddy bear is customized to exactly have the same height and weight as me when I was born.
Yuki	You reek of rich kid.
Azuma	Heh, so this is the teddy bear.
Muku	It's so fluffy. Its round eyes are extremely cute too!
Yuki	Sure looks expensive.
Azuma	The fur is still beautiful. I'm sure they're taking good care of it.
Izumi	It's such a wonderful teddy bear.
	Though, it's still It's too expensive for me...
	Thank you for sharing it. I'd like to give it some thought.
Homare	Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Izumi	Sure. Thank you very much!
Izumi	I wonder if my prospects are good enough...
	(Even so, I felt like I've seen a whole life's worth of teddy bears today...)
	(I'll just have to ask my friends which one looks good.)
Izumi	Fuah....I have to get ready.
	(I promised to meet my friends today.)
Omi	Director, good morning.
	The breakfast is ready.
Izumi	Good morning, Omi-kun.
	It smells deliciously sweet!
Omi	Ah, eggs and bread are on sale so I bought a bunch and made French toast for breakfast.
Izumi	It looks delicious!
	Thanks for the food~!
Omi	I prepared some sauce too.
	Choose whichever you like.
Izumi	Wow. Indeed, there's maple syrup and chocolate sauce.
	Everything looks delicious.
Yuki	Azu-nee, can you pass that chocolate sauce?
Azuma	Here.
Yuki	Thanks.
Muku	Wow, Yuki-kun's bear drawing is so cute.
Izumi	Indeed. Should I try drawing a picture too?
Omi	Hisoka-san, here's your marshmallow toast.
Hisoka	Thank you...It has a drawing on it.
Omi	Haha, I felt like drawing on it.
Muku	Omi-san's bear is cute too!
Izumi	Yup! This French toast is delicious!
Omi	Glad to hear that.
Homare	Good morning everyone!
Izumi	!?

Izumi	Homare-san, why are you wearing that outfit?
Homare	Hm? What of it?
Izumi	I mean... You look like a teddy bear.
Homare	This is my usual self.
	I have no idea what you're talking about, director-kun.
Muku	Arisu-san has always been like this.
Hisoka	Un.
Izumi	No, something’s definitely strange about him!
Hisoka	Even though you're always patting Alice's fluff...
Izumi	Eh !?
Omi	Yeah, you often pat him every at the end of our meetings.
Izumi	.... I, I do...?
Azuma	Homare, you're so fluffy even today.
Homare	I certainly am!
	I clean and brush my fluff with a custom-made brush every single day.
	Come, director-kun.
	Touch my fluff to your heart's content like you always do!
Izumi	N-no, thank you. I'm good.
Homare	You don't have to be shy with me.
	Feel free to touch my fluff.
Hisoka	.....Un. Director, try it too. It's fluffy.
Muku	It's so soft. It feels really good to touch.
Omi	Yeah. It has a healing effect.
Izumi	(Everyone seems to be enjoying it. Now I'm kind of tempted to touch his fluff too....)
Homare	Come here, feel my fluff!
Izumi	( Whatever happens, there's no turning back now....!)
	ーー.
	ーー!
	Eh.....A dream?
	(For Homare-san to become a teddy bear...What a strange dream...)
Homare	Director-kun, good morning.
Izumi	Thank goodness... It's the usual Homare-san.
	G-good morning.
Tasuku	Ha?
Homare	What's the matter?
Izumi	Actually, I dreamed about Homare-san becoming a teddy bear last night.
	Maybe it's the influence of looking at a good deal of teddy bears yesterday.
Muku	Your dream is almost like a fairytale!
Azami	Heh, Homare becoming a teddy bear. I want to see it too.
Yuki	Seriously? A bear poemer? Give me a break.
Tasuku	No wonder you woke up exhausted.
Izumi	That dream was so realistic. I thought Homare-san turned into a teddy bear for real.
Homare	Hrm... Dream...Teddy bear.
	---Ah! I just had a flash of inspiration!
	"O bear of forest in deep slumber,
	In utopia thou is made to encounter,
	La la la double fluff attack!"
Muku	Wah...Arisu-san's poem is like a fairytale too!
Tasuku	....Already in the zone this early in the morning.
Yuki	Yeah, it doesn't make sense as usual.
