	―Dorm Lounge―
Sakyo	Everyone’s gathered already, huh. Listen up, I’m about to announce something important.
	An energy saving campaign will be held in Veludo Town for several days.
Juza	Energy saving campaign?
Tsuzuru	What’s that?
Sakyo	It’s a very great campaign. If we participate, we’ll get a coupon gift that can be used for shopping in the shopping district.
Azuma	He sure is fired up.
Itaru	But I have a bad feeling here...
Sakyo	Of course, our dorm’s going to participate in that campaign too. For the time being...
	From today onwards, the air conditioner will be fixed at 28°C after 9 pm. Any below that is forbidden. (=82.4°F)
Banri	Huh?! 28°C is not even cool at all!
Taichi	So strict~!
Sakyo	If we can get the coupon gift, our foods will increase. In other words, this is good for you guys too.
Juza	I see...
Omi	That’d be really helpful.
Sakyo	If you feel hot, adjust the wind direction of the air conditioner, or open the window. I won’t forgive anyone who lowers the set temperature.
	That’s all!
Azami	You demon…
Muku	L-let’s do our best, Ju-chan…!
Juza	Yeah, you too.
Izumi	Alright, I think I’m about to finish my work...
Juza	Sorry Director, but d'you have anti-itch cream?
Izumi	There should be some on that medicine shelf. Did you get bitten by a mosquito?
Juza	Yeah. Seems like it bit me when I left the window open.
Izumi	Well, of course that would happen... Oh, what about the insect screen?
Juza	Seems like there was a hole when I saw it in the morning.
Izumi	I see. I’ll tell Manager about it, okay? ...Here, the anti-itch cream.
Juza	Thanks.
Homare	So you were here, Director-kun. I am here to say farewell for a while.
Izumi	You’re going back to your parents’ home for a while, huh. Take care of yourself while going there, okay?
Homare	Hm, very well. ...Oh, Juza-kun. Were you bitten by a mosquito?
Juza	Yeah. It bit me when I let my guard down.
Homare	In that case, should I lend you my pig mosquito coil? An excellent item I must say, it works very well.
Juza	Nah, I feel bad so I’m fine.
Homare	Oh really? You don’t need to be so shy about it...
	Well, if you do feel the need to use it, make sure to ask Hisoka-kun. I’ll tell him about it.
Juza	Got it.

	―Room 104 (Night)―
Juza	.....
Banri	*sleeping*
Juza	...Hah!
	*clap*
	Damn it...
	*clap*
Banri	Oh for goddamn sake, stop clapping your hands! You a monkey or what?!
Juza	Can’t help it, there’s a mosquito flyin’ around.
Banri	A mosquito?
	...There sure is one.
Juza	Told you so.
	*clap*
	Tch, missed again.
Banri	Let me.
	*clap*
	Did I get it?
	Damn it, so persistent. I’d be so bothered that I can’t sleep if we don’t get this guy!
Juza	Should’ve accepted Homare-san’s offer to borrow his mosquito coil a while ago...
Banri	Huh? Why didn’t you then?
Juza	It’s just one mosquito, so I thought I could handle it even without it.
Banri	Well, look what happened when you thought you could handle it alone. Geez...
Juza	Where is it? I can hear its sound, but can’t see it anywhere...
Banri	You know, we can just turn the lights on.
Juza	...! Settsu!
Banri	Ah?
	*slap*
	Ugh… That hurts, you asshole! What’d you do that for?!
Juza	Had a feeling the mosquito landed on your neck, ‘s all.
Banri	HUH?! Didn’t you say that you can’t see?!
Juza	Can’t see it, but I felt its presence.
Banri	Motherf- That’s it! Let me get you before the mosquito!
Juza	Ahh? Bring it on, take me down if you can.
	*lights on*
Banri	Huh?
Juza	.....
Sakyo	You brats...
Banri	Oh crap...
Juza	...Oof.
Sakyo	What time do you think it is right now?! You’re bothering the neighbourhood if you raise your voice that loud!
Juza	.....
Banri	.....
	But Sakyo-san’s the loudest one here.
Juza	Yeah...
