Izumi	...Huh? When did it start raining?
	(Oh right, this morning...)
Izumi	Nice weather today. The laundry seems to dry well.
Homare	Sunlight. It gives hope to all over the world. Shining sunlight, my heart is an artist...
Banri	I didn't want to burst your bubble but it seems that it's going to rain this evening.
Izumi	Really? Even though it's so sunny now.
Banri	That's what the weather forecast said. Bringing umbrellas is bothersome, so I should get home quickly today.
Izumi	Skipping is prohibited!
Banri	Yes yes.
Homare	Rain. Falling rain, dazzling shine, together taste the dessert wine...
	Oh, I just got an idea!
Banri	You sure get ideas in any weather.
Izumi	Right, even though the weather forecast has said it... I completely forgot to bring an umbrella.
	(The rain doesn't seem to be letting up soon. But, it doesn't seem to be heavy)
	Well, I'm only going home anyway... So even if I get a little bit wet, it should be okay.
	(Alright, I've decided--)
???	Stop.
Izumi	Eh?
Itaru	Director.
Izumi	Itaru-san?!
Itaru	Good work today. I don't think going out in the middle of this rain is very admirable.
Izumi	Uh... I'm sorry.
Itaru	You didn't bring umbrella, right? I have a folded one. Let's go home together.
Izumi	Is that okay? Then, if you insist.
	Itaru-san, are you going back from work?
Itaru	Yes. When I reached the station, I saw director about to jump into the rain.
	I instinctively pulled out my hand
Izumi	I forgot about the weather forecast and went out just like that. However, I was just going home anyway, so I thought getting a little bit wet is fine...
Itaru	Haha. Never thought I would hear those words from a woman at your age.
Izumi	Itaru-san, do you think I'm an idiot?
Itaru	You're not, you're not. I just thought that if you caught a cold, it would be very troublesome.
Izumi	Really? That's doubtful...
Itaru	I'm not lying.
Izumi	Your tone is becoming like Citron-kun's.
	Huh, the rain is...
Itaru	Suddenly it becomes heavy.
	If this keeps going on, we'll get wet. Shall we take shelter from the rain for a moment?

Izumi	The rain is pretty heavy, huh
Itaru	If we kept walking, director would be drenched out.
Izumi	You're right... I'm glad I met Itaru-kun.
Itaru	Anyway, let's take shelter until the rain lets up. Is the seat at the counter okay with you?
Izumi	Yeah.
	-phone rings-
Itaru	Sorry, it's mine. ...It's a call from work, do you mind if I take it?
Izumi	Go ahead.
Itaru	Thanks.
	...Yes, this is Chigasaki. Good work today.
Izumi	(Ah. Itaru-san's tone is different than usual)
Itaru	Yes. ...Yeah, that document has been organized into the folders. ...I understand, I will send the data as quickly as possible.
	The other party? ...Is that so? I understand. ...Yeah, the schedule on that matter is--
Izumi	(I never thought that the usual Itaru-san can be this businesslike-person)
	(He gives out different feeling when he's in the dormitory, but I guess it's because it's office, huh)
Itaru	Yes, I'm looking forward to work with you. Well then, excuse me.
	Sorry, thank you for waiting.
Izumi	It's okay, it's just seeing Itaru-san being different than usual is quite refreshing.
Itaru	Hm? But I'm always like this when I'm working
Izumi	How do I put this, it's like you're an elite. Like, you're working properly.
Itaru	Haha. Even if I'm like this, I'm still a salaryman after all.
Izumi	That I know, but...
	It's like you're a different person from Itaru-san who plays games and secludes himself in his room
Itaru	Ah, that's right. It's because I have to separate both areas precisely
	Being able to switch the on and off mode, I think we all have to admit that only a pro can pull it off
Izumi	You're praising yourself...
	But well, I can only switch to off mode in dorm anyway. So I'm really happy... wait, why are you grinning?
Izumi	Nope, nothing at all!
Itaru	Gross
Izumi	Gross... Anyway, what are you ordering? There seems to be snacks too.
Itaru	But, there's dinner in the dorm right? So we shouldn't eat too much
Izumi	Yes. More importantly, today is curry day!
Itaru	...As I thought, I'll go eat something then
Izumi	Eeh. But today I'm planning to put a lot of seafood in the curry. Do you not like it?
Itaru	That's not the problem... Well, whatever.
