Tsuzuru	Here, Director, a White Day gift. Please take it!
Omi	From me too. Thank you for the Valentine present.
Izumi	Woah, thanks you two! That's amazing, there're so many types!
Omi	Yeah. Truffle and brownie, and here there's a chocolate cake.
Tsuzuru	Just so you know, everything is handmade. Unlike regular cooking, I'm not really used to sweets making…
	But I made them while Fushimi-san was teaching me, so I can guarantee their taste!
Izumi	All of them look delicious. And their appearance is cute too!
Omi	It is White Day. We worked hard in order to make Director happy.
Kazunari	Here hereee! Me too! Director-chan, happy White Day!
Izumi	Woah, amazing! It's so colorful!
Kazunari	Ehehe~, I gathered looots of cutie sweeties ★
	Looky here, this one is a new strawberry caramel product!
Omi	Heh, having such a great variety is nice too.
Izumi	Yup! I don't know what to eat first. Thank you, Kazunari-kun.
Hisoka	Director, me too.
	Chocolate, and marshmallow. My favorite flavor.
Homare	Director, here is a present from me as well. Their appearance looks delicious too does it not?
Izumi	Fluffy marshmallows, and rose shaped chocolate! So many types…
	I received so much, I really can't thank you all enough. I'll eat all of them dearly!
Tsuzuru	Yes!
Homare	Yes, I am glad you are delighted.
Juza	…! That's a lot of candies.
	From me, it's not exactly candy but… it's a thank you for Valentine's Day. Please accept it.
Izumi	This is… a ticket? It says Candy Festa but…
Kazunari	Aah! I know what that is! It's a candy festival where you can eat candies from all over the world!
	I wanted to go there too!
Hisoka	…so a festival like that, actually exists.
Juza	Yeah. If you have this ticket, you can eat a bunch of candies for free, or so I've heard.
Izumi	Heh, is that so…! Sounds interesting! Thank you, Juza-kun.
Juza	Yeah.
Izumi	(The lounge is filled with a sweet scent. It might be the first time that I'm surrendered by so many candies)
	I'm really happy. Which should I eat first. They all look delicious, but I also feel like it's a waste to eat them.
	(…ah, thinking of which, that ticket I got from Juza-kun--)
	(Hm? It says that it's possible for up to two people to enter with this ticket)
	Alright, if that's the case…
	Ah, there he is. Juza-kun!
Juza	Director? What's wrong.
Izumi	The Candy Festa, want to go there together? That ticket, seems like two people can enter with it.
Juza	Eh… well if, you're okay with that Director.
Izumi	Of course! Rather than going by myself, it would surely be more fun to go with the two of us!
Juza	'kay.

Izumi	Woah, there're way more shops than I thought…! They didn't say they have candies from all the world just for show.
	Somehow it really makes you excited.
Juza	……
Izumi	How is it? Did you find something you like Juza-kun?
Juza	…that huge one.
Izumi	Big one? …ah, a cotton candy stand.
	Alright, let's hurry up and go there!
Juza	You fine with it Director? If you've got something else you like…
Izumi	It's alright. We have plenty of time after all!
Juza	'kay. Then, let's try it.
Izumi	Yeah! It's been ages since I ate cotton candy.
???	Wai- that would be a problem!
Izumi	Eh?
Juza	!
Man	'S fine, hang out with me for a lil bit.
Employee	I'm in the middle of work! Can't you tell!?
Man	There're many workers here right. They wouldn't find out if you leave for a little while.
Employee	Like I told you…!
Juza	…Oi.
Employee	Eh?
Man	Aaah? Wha--.
Juza	Can't you tell you're troubling her or what. Aaa?
Man	Eep…!
	I-I was just kidding, just kidding! I was just messing with her a bit! Goodbye!
Izumi	(That's good, he ran away quickly)
	Are you alright?
Employee	Eh! Suuuper cool! I'm really hyped here now y'know!
Juza	…!?
Employee	That's seriously insane! Thanks for helping me! It was like, some scene out of a TV drama~!
Juza	…this way of talking…
Izumi	Ahaha, it sure reminds you of Kazunari-kun…
Employee	To be honest with you it's limited to one per person, but since you guys saved me I'll do a huge service for you as thanks and give you two!
	Seriously, thank you~!
Juza	…thanks.
Izumi	Is that really alright? Us taking two of them.
Employee	Of coursey! More like, pretty please take them!
	Huh, with such a hot and tough boyfriend by your side you must feel safe and secure right sis~!
Izumi	(S-Somehow looks like she's misunderstanding, but the energy of her speech is too amazing, I don't have time to deny…)
Juza	…'s good.
Izumi	It's really delicious! It's fluffy, and the color is pretty too.
	By the way, you really did great there Juza-kun.
Juza	It looked like that girl was troubled, so I just interfered.
Izumi	Even if you think that you have to do something about it, you can't always actually come and help.
	Really nothing less from you Juza-kun, I was impressed.
Juza	…thanks.
	More importantly, next let's go to a stand you choose Director.
Izumi	Is that okay? Then, let's go!

Izumi	Hmm, this candy is a bit sour, it's a fruit juice type right.
Juza	…this one is cappuccino flavored.
Izumi	Look, that stand has candies made from herbs! Seems like there're stuff like lavender flavor.
Juza	It smells like flowers…
Izumi	It's not only the flavors, there're also many types of scents and packages, you really can enjoy everything!
	We can pack candies in bags too, you can also pack them in jars or cans, and there're also cute stickers for decorations.
Juza	There're a bunch of candies I've never seen in Japan.
Izumi	Yup yup!
Juza	……
Izumi	Ah. Ahaha, I knew it.
Juza	…? What is it?
Izumi	We've been trying lots of candies for a while now and--.
	Juza-kun, when it comes to sweet candies you really bite into them, but when they're sour or spicy you pause and stop biting suddenly.
	Is that a habit?
Juza	My mouth just does it on its own…
Izumi	Ahaha, it might be because sweet flavored candies are easier to eat.
Juza	The sun started setting.
Izumi	Right. We should head back soon.
Juza	It was supposed to be a present for Director, but I ended up enjoying myself.
Izumi	I enjoyed too!
Juza	No… on second thought, can you hang with me for a bit more.
	The truth is it might be better if you wait for me here, but I don't know if there's someone here like that guy from earlier…
Izumi	Juza-kun… thank you. Let's look around a bit longer.
Juza	If I remember right, we can pack a bag with candies right. Should we go get bags.
Izumi	Sure!
Juza	…
Izumi	(Juza-kun, he's silently stuffing his bag. Seems like he really liked the candies)
	(Me too, I should pack souvenirs for everyone. Some from this, and some from that too…)
Employee	…look at that! You guys, you were still here!
Juza	…aah, from earlier.
Izumi	We decided to look around a bit more.
Employee	I see~. You sure do get along~!
Izumi	…ah, I forgot I wanted to get some of the candies from that stand! I'm going there for a bit.
Juza	Yeah.
Employee	Ahaha, boy, you really stuffed your bag there!
Juza	Yeah, I plan to give it to her later.
Employee	Is that like, a surprise for your girlfriend!? Awesome, those kinda things are really nice right!
	I feel you, when you have an older lover, you wanna do surprises and work hard for them and stuff~!
Juza	No, that person isn't--.
Employee	My boyfriend is older too, so I end up overstretching myself! I know! For a nice guy like you--.
Izumi	My bag became all full!
Juza	Right. …Director, for the finish can we go to that stand.
Izumi	…? Sure.
Juza	It's here. Wait for me a little.
Izumi	(? Juza-kun, he handed the candy bag he packed earlier to the employee of this stand but…)
Employee	Sorry for the wait.
Juza	Director, here.
Izumi	Woah! The candies from earlier are in a cute jar…! Is it okay for me to have it?
Juza	Yeah.
	I chose the stuff I found tasty. …how to put it, it would be nice if Director thinks the same.
Izumi	Juza-kun… thank you!
	Did you know that you can get the candies packed in a jar here?
Juza	No, the employee from earlier told me. Seems like it's a secret menu.
CHOICE 1: Secret menu, makes you feel like we got benefited [+] Izumi A secret menu…! Amazing. Somehow it feels like we got benefited, I'm happy. Juza I thought it's just great for a White Day gift. Izumi Yeah! I was able to enjoy the festival, I received such a cute present, it's more than enough. Juza I see. I had fun too. Thank you for inviting me. Izumi Same here. Let's go eating delicious things together again sometime. Juza Yeah. Going out with Director… I like it. I'll look for tasty looking stuff again.
CHOICE 2: It would be cute as decoration too [+] Izumi When the candies are in a jar like that, they would be cute as decoration too. Juza That's true. Well, it's not really my style to decorate with those kinda stuff… More like, when looking at them I want to eat them. You too Director, don't just look at them, and eat them properly. Izumi Ahaha, of course. I'll eat them dearly. Ah, this candy, I thought it was delicious too! I'm happy it's in there. Juza Yeah. I too thought it was real good, and I remember you said it's delicious so I included it.
Izumi	We enjoyed all kind of things, it was a really satisfying day.
	Thank you for giving me a present, and such nice memories, Juza-kun.
Juza	Yeah.
