Part 1Part 2

Kazunari	Ah! Yukki, is that the magazine that came out today?
Yuki	Yeah.
Kazunari	I’m interested too. Can I borrow it once you’ve finished reading it?
Yuki	I’m pretty much done, so yeah. Here.
Kazunari	Thanks!
	Huh, this shop is…
Kumon	What are you two doing?
Muku	Oh, that’s the magazine that Yuki-kun bought today, right?
Kazunari	Yeah, he’s letting me look at it right now! And I was looking at this page here…
Kumon	Cake shop feature?
Kazunari	Yeah, it’s a feature on a popular shop that recently opened!
	This shop always has a super long line, so it caught my eye.
Yuki	Oh, it’s that popular?
Muku	Wow, everything looks delicious! The cream on this white cake looks so fluffy.
Yuki	Which one? Oh, you’re right.
Kazunari	This cake here looks colourful and so nice, just looking at it gets me super hyped~!
Kumon	Ah, it says here that this one is mildly sweet!
Yuki	It says that they don’t use fresh cream, so couldn’t you eat it?
Kumon	Yeah, I can probably eat it too!
Misumi	What are you all doing~?
Muku	Ah, Misumi-san! We’re looking at a special feature about a cake shop that recently opened.
Misumi	Wow, lots of triangles!
Kazunari	Right! I’m going to head over to that cake shop on my way home tomorrow, so why don’t we Summer troupe members have a cake party?
Muku	Oh, sounds fun!
Misumi	I want to do a triangle cake party!
Kumon	Agreed!
Yuki	Why not? I’m interested in these cakes too.
Kazunari	It’s decided then! Alright, a Summer troupe cake party tomorrow!
	I’ll message Tenten on LIME too.
Kumon	If you’re going to buy the cakes, I’ll take care of the drinks!
Misumi	I’ll prepare too!
Muku	I will help too! Let’s do it together, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	I don’t mind.
Kazunari	I’ll leave the preparations to you!
	Right, gotta think about how to prepare for my role for the fairytale contest soon.
Muku	You’re Little Red Riding Hood, right?
Kazunari	Yep! I was really surprised when I found out about my role, but I’m going to give it my all.
Muku	I look forward to your Red Riding Hood.
Kazunari	That’s right, did the book about Little Red Riding Hood that was passed around among everyone get returned to you? I want to read it properly one more time.
Muku	Yeah, I have it with me! Here you go.
Kazunari	Thanks! I wanted to memorise the details of the story a bit more.
Muku	I see. Maybe I should reread some shoujo manga centered on fairytales too, in preparation for the contest.
Kazunari	That’s a good idea! Then, let’s do some joint reading time now!
Muku	Okay!
Kazunari	Wonder if there’s a line at that cake shop today too~.
	Oh, a LIME message from Azu.
Azuma Kazu, I heard you were shopping right now. Could you buy some wine while you’re at it?
KAZUNARI MIYOSHI☆ OK! What about colour and brand?
Azuma One bottle of red and white wine each. Seems like the red wine will be used as cooking wine.
Azuma Any brand is fine. One whose price you can afford will work.
KAZUNARI MIYOSHI☆ Got it!
Kazunari	Hm, the supermarket is closer, so let’s get that wine first!
	I’m glad I was able to get one that looks really good.
	With this, my mission is done, so let’s go to the cake shop!

Kazunari	(I’m glad the line in front of the cake shop wasn’t long today.)
	(I was able to buy the cakes the others said they wanted to eat and bought the wine as I was asked. I should probably head back soon.)
	…Thinking of, wine to cake - doesn’t this totally make me like Red Riding Hood right now?
Izumi	Oh, Kazunari-kun?
Kazunari	Ah, Director!
Izumi	Were you shopping?
Kazunari	Yep, cake and the wine Azu asked for! But I’m already on my way home.
	What were you doing, Director?
Izumi	I just came from helping out at another theatre troupe. I’m also on my way back, so should I take something off your hands?
Kazunari	Let me think…would you mind just taking the cakes then?
Izumi	Yeah, sure.
Kazunari	Thanks! There’s some for all of Summer Troupe, so it might be a little heavy.
Izumi	This much is fine. More importantly, what happened for you to get cake for all of Summer troupe?
Kazunari	There was a feature on cakes in a magazine, and we all got into the mood to eat them after looking at the special feature together.
	So we decided to have a cake party together!
Izumi	So that’s what happened.
Kazunari	By the way, I was just thinking this, but going on an errand for cake and wine - doesn’t this kind of feel like Little Red Riding Hood?
Izumi	Oh, that’s true! They are the same things she takes to her grandmother.
Kazunari	Right!? I just wanted to go shopping, but it turned into role study!
	That’s right, Director! While I’m at it, won’t you make a little detour with me?
Izumi	Eh, shouldn’t we head back?
Kazunari	I just bought it, so the refrigerant will keep it cool, and Tenten hasn’t returned home from work yet anyway, so it should be be fine!
Izumi	I see. Well then, should we look for flowers, just as Little Red Riding Hood did?
Kazunari	Sounds good! Let’s look for enough to make a bouquet!
	Director, let’s sit down on this bench!
Izumi	Yeah, thanks! We couldn’t find any flowers.
Kazunari	There was no helping it, considering the season. More importantly, thanks for accompanying me on this side trip!
Izumi	You’re welcome.
Kazunari	As thanks, won’t you eat half of my cake?
Izumi	Eh, but didn’t you buy it because you wanted to eat it?
Kazunari	That’s true, but I believe it’ll definitely taste better if I share it with you.
	I’ve got some tissues and forks too, so let’s eat!
Izumi	I’ll have some, then. I’m digging in.
CHOICE 1: It’s really delicious. [+] Izumi …This is really delicious! It’s a taste I’ve never experienced before. Kazunari You’re right, this cake is lit! Hey, Director. There are a lot of other varieties, so why don’t we visit the shop together next time? Izumi Yeah, sure! Kazunari Great, it’s a date!
CHOICE 2: Eating cake at the park - how new. [+] Izumi Eating cake at the park feels kind of new, doesn’t it? Kazunari True! But isn’t it sort of great to be eating somewhere different than usual? Izumi Yeah, it’s fun because it feels like the taste changes depending on the place. Kazunari Particularly eating outside makes it taste even better, right? Izumi That’s right, this cake is really delicious too! Kazunari Really? That’s good~!
Izumi	…Thanks for the food.
Kazunari	That was super delicious. Must be because I shared it with you!
	Oh, a LIME message from Tenten!
Tenma Sumeragi Where are you? When are you getting back?
△△△ Kazu, are you still in line?
Yuki You’re late. Everyone else is already present.
Kumon The drinks have been prepared too!
Muku Don’t tell me something happened to Kazu-kun…!?
Kazunari	Yikes, Tenten is already home!
Izumi	Huh? We should hurry back then!
Kazunari	Yeah, I’m texting the others right now!
KAZUNARI MIYOSHI☆ Sorry, I’m heading back now!
Izumi	Everyone’s waiting, so let’s get back quickly!
Kazunari	Yeah! Sorry, guys!
