	Ding dong
Misumi	Ding do~ng.
Citron	Director, looks like someone is here.
Izumi	Sorry, my hands are full with the dishes right now. Can you get it for me?
Citron	Non non. Having an important game with Misumi right now. My hands are full too.
Misumi	Triangle♪ triangle~♪ Winning is triangle~♪
Citron	Losing is square~ ♪
Izumi	A new unknown game has been born….
Man	Excuse me! You have a delivery!
Izumi	Ah, yes! Right away!
Delivery Person	I have a package for Hyodo Juza-san. If there's nothing wrong with it, your signature is required.
Izumi	Yes, thank you very much.
Delivery Person	It's a refrigerated delivery, so please store it in the refrigerator. Then, thank you very much!
Izumi	(Refrigerated delivery… is it food from his family? –hm?)
	(The sender is "Kametoraya"… if I remember correctly, wasn't it a famous store for Japanese candies?)
Izumi	Ah, Juza-kun, welcome back.
Juza	…yeah.
Izumi	You're early. Are you alone?
Juza	…yeah.
Izumi	(His answers are short as usual…)
	Ah, speaking of which, there was a delivery for you, I put it in the refrigerator.
Juza	A delivery?
Izumi	Yeah, from "Kametoraya". So you like sweets, Juza-kun?
Juza	--!
Izumi	Hm? What's wrong?
Juza	--how did you know?
Izumi	How, you ask. Kametoraya is a famous Japanese candies shop right?
Juza	It doesn’t suit me, right. Me, buying stuff from Kametoraya.
Izumi	Eh? That's not true. I like their candies too.
Juza	…
	Don't tell anyone.
Izumi	Okay, got it.
	(So liking sweets is something a male high school student would want to hide.)
	But going as far as to order them, you really like them.
Juza	…not really.
Izumi	"Kametoraya", their dorayaki are delicious right! Their red bean paste is superb too--.
Juza	…so you want that as hush money.
Izumi	Eh?
Juza	It can't be helped. …I'll give you one.
Izumi	Eh!? It's fine. After Juza-kun went the trouble to buy them--.
Juza	…'s fine. I can't eat them all by myself.
Izumi	Is that really alright?
Juza	Yeah.
Izumi	Then, I'll eat some. I'll prepare tea.
Juza	…I'll help.
Izumi	Thanks. I haven't eaten them in a while, so I can't wait!
Juza	…yeah.
