	―Kazunari's House―
Kazunari	I'm home~!
Futaba	Ah, onii-chan. Welcome home...
Kazunari	Hm? Did something happen, Futaba?
Futaba	You see... My friend and I promised to go to this summer festival together, but she can't go with me now because she had things to do.
Kazunari	Festival? You mean the one in the neighborhood?
Futaba	Yeah. It'd be difficult to invite other friends right now, but I don't wanna go alone either...
	I was really excited to see all kinds of stall too...
Kazunari	I see~...
	Ah! Why not I go with you?
Futaba	With onii-chan...?
Kazunari	Yup! We're siblings after all! Whatcha think?
Futaba	Hmm, I do wanna go to the festival... You're okay going with me?
Kazunari	Ofc! It's decided then!
Futaba	It's a bit embarrassing if anyone saw us together though...
Kazunari	Ahaha, you're already at that age, huh~.
	―Lounge (Night)―
	I'm home~!
Sakyo	Miyoshi, huh. You're pretty late.
Izumi	Welcome home, Kazunari-kun. You went back to your home today, right?
Kazunari	That's right~. Are you guys in the middle of working?
Izumi	Yup, we're almost done though.
Kazunari	I see~! Otsupiko♪
Sakyo	You seem to be very ecstatic.
Izumi	Did something good happen?
Kazunari	Eh, you can tell?!
	Actually~, Futaba and I decided to go to this summer festival in the neighborhood!
Izumi	Fufu, so that's why. That sure sounds fun!
Sakyo	The neighborhood...
Kazunari	What was that? You wanna tag along too?
Sakyo	That's not it.
Izumi	Still, you siblings sure get along well, huh.
Kazunari	Pretty much~. But y'know...
	I'm pretty sad that Futaba thinks it's embarrassing if anyone sees us being together.
Izumi	Oh... But that could be because of her age.
Kazunari	I thought the same thing too.
	Well, I should be glad that she didn't reject my suggestion to go together.
Sakyo	True, she'd refuse your offer if she truly doesn't want it.
	Maybe she wants to spend some time with her brother after all.
Kazunari	I'd be happy if that's the case~!
Izumi	I'm sure it is. Make sure both of you have fun at the festival.
Kazunari	Ofc! She said she's excited to see the stalls so I'm gonna let her eat all sorts of food later!
Izumi	That's nice. When you think of festival, you'd definitely wanna eat the candy apples!
Kazunari	Mood! I also like takoyaki~.
Izumi	That's also good!
Sakyo	Takoyaki...
Kazunari	What's up, Frooch-san?
Sakyo	Oh, nothing.
	―Summer Festival (Night)―
Futaba	Sorry for making you wait, onii-chan.
Kazunari	It's okay, I wasn't waiting for that long~. Let's start walking around the stalls now!
	Got any food you wanna eat, Futaba?
Futaba	Hmm, let me think...
	Ah, there's a smell of takoyaki...!
Kazunari	Okay, so we'll eat that first?
Futaba	Yeah!
Kazunari	Alrighty, let's go to the takoyaki stall~♪

Kazunari	Here's the takoyaki stall~.
Sakyo	Thanks for the wait. Here, one pack of eight takoyaki.
Customer	Thank you!
Kazunari	Frooch-san?!
Sakyo	Ugh, so it WAS this festival, huh...
Futaba	...?
Kazunari	Oh, Futaba. This person here is from the same theatre company, Frooch-san.
Sakyo	Wrong, it's Furuichi.
Futaba	Oh! Thank you for taking care of my brother...!
Sakyo	Heh. She's quite polite unlike her older brother.
Kazunari	That's so mean, Frooch-san!
Sakyo	It's the truth.
Kazunari	Anyway, why are you working here?
Sakyo	I often help out at this stall whenever it's the festival season. After hearing your story earlier, I thought perhaps you were talking about this place...
Kazunari	Eh~, you should've told us then~.
Sakyo	Shut up. Take this and go somewhere else.
	...It's a special service for the little sister.
Kazunari	Frooch-san...! Thank you!
Sakyo	Careful, it's hot.
Futaba	Itadakimasu...! *nom* Mmm, it's delicious...!
Kazunari	You're right, it's so delish! Frooch-san's amazing!
	That was so yummy~. Thanks for the food! Now then, which stall should we go next?
???	Onii-chan, I want that one!
???	Get that one for me!
Taichi	Awawa! I'll get them in turns so please wait~!
Kazunari	Hey, it's Taicchan!
Taichi	K-Kazu-kun?! You're here too!
Kazunari	Yup! With my sister!
Futaba	G-good evening...!
Taichi	Oooh, good evening! I came here with my siblings too~.
Mirai	Good evening!
Masato	G-good evening...
Kazunari	Good evening~! Btw, what's this stall?
Taichi	It's a toy fishing stall! The prize you'll get varies depending on what fish you catch!
Kazunari	Hehh, sounds interesting! I wanna give it a try too!
	Is there anything you want, Futaba?
Futaba	Umm... Then, I want the bear plushie over there.
Kazunari	Okie! Your brother here is gonna get that for you, Futaba!
Futaba	Do your best, onii-chan...!
Mirai	Onii-chan~! Do your best too~!
Masato	Nii-chan, do your best!
Kazunari	We gotta do this for our cute siblings' sake!
Taichi	Yeah!
Kazunari	Here! The bear plushie!
Futaba	Thank you, onii-chan!
Kazunari	You're welcome.
Taichi	I'm glad we're able to get these without a problem!
Kazunari	Right, Taicchan. Have you eaten Frooch-san's takoyaki?
Taichi	EH! What do you mean by that?!
Kazunari	Seems like he's making them at that stall over there. They're super delish too!
Taichi	Ehh, I SO wanna try that! Mii-chan, Maa-kun, let's go and eat some takoyaki!
Mirai	Sure! Let's go!
Masato	Go~!
Taichi	We'll be going now! See you later, Kazu-kun and Futaba-chan!
Kazunari	See you later~.
	Now then, where should we go next?
Futaba	Hmm... Ah, there are some candy apples over there.
Kazunari	Candy apples...
	We've pretty much walked around there and there! Got any place you wanna go, or any food you wanna eat now?
Futaba	I'm fine, what about you?
Kazunari	I'm satisfied too! Plus, I get to buy these in the end.
	Now then, should we go home now?
Futaba	Yeah. ...Hey, onii-chan.
Kazunari	Hm?
Futaba	I'm sorry for saying something like getting embarrassed by anyone who sees us together.
	It was really fun today. Thank you for walking around the festival with me.
Kazunari	Futaba...!
	It was super fun for me too! Let's go together again next time!
	―Director's Room―
	Are you there, Director-chan?
Izumi	Kazu-kun! What's up?
Kazunari	Here, some souvenirs from the festival.
Izumi	Wahh, candy apples! I'm so happy, thank you!
Kazunari	Glad you like it. You mentioned it before, remember? Candy apples are what you think of when it's summer festival.
Izumi	You remembered that?
Kazunari	Of course, I'll never forget any words you've said.
CHOICE 1: Was the festival fun? [+] Izumi Did you have fun with your sister at the festival? Kazunari Yup, it was a blast! We also met Frooch-san and Taicchan! Izumi Really! Was it a coincidence? Kazunari Yep yep! Futaba was also surprised, but I'm so happy that she properly gave them greetings. They were kind to her as well! Izumi That's good to hear. I think she's relieved to know that her brother has good friends around him. Kazunari I think so too! All my friends in this company including you, are all super good people after all.
CHOICE 2: Candy apples... [+] Izumi Candy apples make your tongue red when you eat them, don't they? Kazunari Yeah! It's like when you eat strawberry shaved ice! Izumi Right? Seeing your tongue change its colour is like the best thing to see. Kazunari So true~! That's why I can't help eating them~. Hey, Director-chan. These candy apples are just souvenirs, but let's eat them when we go to summer festival together next time. Izumi Sure, since I wanna go to the festival too!
Izumi	Thank you so much for the candy apples.
Kazunari	You're welcome!
	Hope you get to enjoy the festival mood with those apples♪
