Kazunari	Ha~, it was totes adorbs and the sweets were tasty to boot~!
	I’ve been dying to go to that café for a while.
	Thanks for coming along with me today, you guys.
Kumon	Not at all! I had a blast too!
Misumi	The inside of that café looked like a picture book~.
Yuki	The drinks were cute and elaborate too.
Tenma	You don’t come across a café like that very often, huh?
Muku	That’s Kazu-kun for you. It was seriously lots of fun.
Kazunari	I’m stoked it sounds like y’all loved it too ♪
	…Ah! The new summer products have hit the shelves at the candy shop!
	Hey, can we stop by here to end the day off?
Muku	Sure. I’d like to buy some too.
Yuki	Sounds good to me. I want to have a look.
Kazunari	Thanks, fam~! ‘Kay, let’s go ✩
	The candy here’s mega cute as usual~.
	Hah, lookie here, Yukki!
	The package pattern’s a kitty cat!
Yuki	Ah, it’s cute.
Kazunari	Wanna split this between the two of us?
Yuki	Oh, by the way, you’re having fun without a care in the world. Have you shot the VLOG for your birthday event yet?
Kazunari	Ahh… so like, I have too many things I wanna do for my VLOG, so I’m kinda stuck~.
Yuki	Well, you’re that sort of type.
Kazunari	I’ve chosen who I want to film me though.
Yuki	Hmm…?
	*knock, knock*
Kazunari	Tsuuuzurun! You in~?
	*door opens*
Tsuzuru	Yes, what is it?
Kazunari	I wanna discuss our future flyers, so I’d like you to have a look at my portfolio.
Tsuzuru	Ahh, sounds good.
	Come in. Masumi’s not here either.
Kazunari	Don’t mind if I do!
	…So that’s what I’m thinking.
	Ah, by the way, as for this design over here…
	I came up with this when I went to a café and candy shop with the Summer troupe guys earlier~.
Tsuzuru	I see.
	You always come up with so many ideas.
	Just where do you get your ideas from, Miyoshi-san?
Kazunari	Mm~. Like I just said, I always have my antenna up even during my regular, every day life…
	But apart from that, I go to museums a lot. So I guess I get lots of inspiration from there.
Tsuzuru	Ah, I suppose you would gets lots of stimulus.
Kazunari	Yep.
	…Alright! I’ve decided!
Tsuzuru	Huh? Decided what?
Kazunari	What I wanna show in my VLOG!
Tsuzuru	By VLOG, do you mean the one you’re gonna screen at your birthday event…?
Kazunari	Yes!
	What’s more, won’t you film the VLOG for me, Tsuzurun?

Kazunari	I’m counting on you today, Tsuzurun ♪
Tsuzuru	I’ve said this many times already. But I’m not confident I will be able to film it as well as you, Miyoshi-san…?
Kazunari	And I said don’t worry, it’ll be fine!
Tsuzuru	So, is this the filming site today?
Kazunari	Yep! I made an appointment right after I decided on it.
Tsuzuru	You’re quick to take action as usual…
	Why’d you choose this place?
Kazunari	Hm, hm, hm. I plan to explain that in the VLOG, so stay tuned~.
Tsuzuru	…Alright, I’ve got the camera ready.
Kazunari	Okay! Let’s get this started then.
Tsuzuru	Got it.
	Ready, set, start!
Kazunari	Hey, y’all~! Kazunari Miyoshi’s VLOG segment has started ♪ Enjoy it~!
	I asked Tsuzurun to be my cameraman.
	Thanks for your help today!
Tsuzuru	It’s Spring troupe’s Minagi Tsuzuru.
	I’ll try my best to record so all of you can watch comfortably.
Kazunari	And so, today, this creative duo’s gonna tour around this art museum here.
	I’m super into the art pieces in this museum, so I wanted to introduce them to all of you!
	Don’t your spirits just lift when you look at the art here?
Tsuzuru	That’s true. There’s lots of colourful or bright paintings.
Kazunari	That’s Tsuzurun for you. You’ve got a nice eye!
	Take this painting for example. A puppy’s actually hiding in it.
Tsuzuru	Ah, you’re right. Heh, it’s cute.
Kazunari	Searching for stuff like this is real fun too.
	Ah! In the center of this work…
	C’mere, have a close look.
Tsuzuru	Hm…?
Kazunari	There’s someone who looks like Tsuzurun standing there!
Tsuzuru	Uh, no there isn’t!
Kazunari	Ehh! You should’ve played along a little longer~.
Tsuzuru	That might mislead the audience though!
Kazunari	Hah, that was so much fun!
	Good work, Tsuzurun!
Tsuzuru	You too. This art museum was interesting and worth the trip.
Kazunari	Wasn’t it! Young kids can enjoy it too, so why don’t you come here with your little bros?
Tsuzuru	Good point. I guess I could bring them to a place like this once in a while.
	Anyways… I never thought you’d say something like that.
Kazunari	Hm? Ahh… did I say something nice just now?
Tsuzuru	It would’ve been better if you hadn’t said that.
Kazunari	You’re harsh, Tsuzurun~!

Kazunari	Thanks for coming today, guys!
	Let’s make it a good one~!
Misumi	Yeah! Hehe, I’m happy we get to celebrate together at Kazu’s event!
Tsuzuru	I feel at ease since Fushimi-san’s here.
Omi	Haha, really?
	I’m happy I was invited too. Thanks, Kazunari.
Kazunari	Omimi’s my birthday bromide project pal.
	And I’m sure it’ll be lit if Sumi comes on stage with us!
	As for Tsuzurun, he filmed the perfect VLOG for me~.
Tsuzuru	Please don’t raise the bar so high.
	*door opens*
Izumi	Are all of you ready?
Kazunari	Yep, we’re raring to go.
Izumi	Remember, you’re going to have your picture taken at the end of your event as well, Kazunari-kun.
Kazunari	Gotcha! Take a super cute one of me, alright?
	Thanks for coming, everybody~!

Kazunari	We’ll be delivering today’s birthday event with these members!
	That being said, let’s start this gig off with the VLOG screening party corner!
	I shot a VLOG to the theme of “a sight I want to show my fans”.
	Tsuzurun did a totes amazing job at filming it for me!
Tsuzuru	Uh… I tried to do the best I could.
Kazunari	Don’t be so nervous, dude~.
Misumi	It’ll be fine, Tsuzuru.
Omi	That’s right. No need to worry.
Tsuzuru	O-okay.
Guest A	Tsuzuru-kun’s a cutie~.
Guest B	Don’t worry~!
Kazunari	Ahaha, it doesn’t look like Tsuzurun’s nerves are gonna dissipate at this rate. Let’s start the VLOG screening right away!
Omi	Is this… an art museum?
	Heh, there’s lots of paintings that would be fun to look at.
Misumi	Wahh~, I wanna go there too!
Guest C	It’s so pretty…!
Guest D	Searching for the hidden puppy sounds like so much fun!
Kazunari	“Ah! In the center of this work…
	C’mere, have a close look.”
Tsuzuru	“Hm…?”
Kazunari	“There’s someone who looks like Tsuzurun standing there!”
Tsuzuru	“Uh, no there isn’t!”
Kazunari	“Ehh! You should’ve played along a little longer~.”
Guest A	Ahahaha!
Guest B	I was fooled for a second too!
Tsuzuru	I thought there actually was something there, so I took a shot of it!
Kazunari	Ahaha. Relax bro, it was just a prank.
	“Well, we went around. That felt quick~.
	Did y’all have fun?”
Guest C	It was lots of fun!
Guest D	It felt like we were going around the museum together. I’m really happy!
Kazunari	Good to hear!
	“You see, this is the museum that sparked my interest in art.”
	“I wanted to show all of you the place that became my starting point!”
	“The reason I’m so obsessed with art right now is because I encountered it by chance here.”
Tsuzuru	“So that’s what happened…”
Kazunari	“Speaking of chance, there’s one more thing…”
	“The reason I’m able to be a part of the Company now is all because Tsuzurun reached out to me.”
	“If I never met Tsuzurun, then I might never have joined MANKAI.”
	“My meeting with art, and my meeting with Tsuzrun both came about by chance. But it’s those coincidences that overlapped that lead me here today.”
	“With those feelings I decided to ask Tsuzurun to film for me this time.”
Tsuzuru	“I see… it’s a bit embarrassing, but I’m glad that’s how you felt.”
	It feels embarrassing being swept along that far…
Omi	Not at all. That was a wonderful conversation.
Misumi	It was a coincidence, but it was a wonderful encounter~.
Kazunari	What Sumi said!
	It was lovely meeting all of you who came here today too~!
Guest A	Kazunari-kun…!
Guest B	Yeah, this is a wonderful encounter as well…!
Guest C	I’m so happy. Thanks, Kazunari-kun!
Kazunari	Everyone~. It’s a bummer, but it looks like it’s about time for the event to wrap up…
Guest A	Ehh!
Guest B	That was way too fast!
Kazunari	I feel you~. Should we keep this going for 3 more hours?
Guest C	Kyaaah! Let’s do it!
Guest D	I’m down~!
Misumi	I wanna do that too!
Tsuzuru	Sorry to burst your bubble, but there’s no way we can do that…!
Omi	Haha, let’s look forward to the day we can see each other again.
Misumi	Right~, it’s too bad…
Kazunari	But hey, that makes you look even more forward to the day we meet again, right!
Misumi	Ah! You gotta take your photo, Kazu!
Kazunari	Oh snap!
	Alright… do your thing, Tsuzurun!
Tsuzuru	Me? I mean, are you ok with someone who’s not a pro?
Kazunari	I just feel like it’s gotta be you this time!
Omi	I think so too.
Tsuzuru	Okay… I understand.
	I’ll try my best to get a nice shot.
Kazunari	Thanks! I’m sure it’ll turn out cool.
Tsuzuru	Alright, I’m taking it~.
	Say cheese!
Kazunari	Bang!
