Izumi	Let’s call it a day.
Misumi	Good work~
Muku	Good work.
Kumon	…
Izumi	(? Kumon-kun seems restless somehow…)
Yuki	You’re restless since earlier, what’s up? If you have something to say, just say it.
Kumon	Um… it’s almost my birthday, right?
Tenma	Oh, right. And what about it?
Misumi	Just like Misumi, I'd like to decide by myself what to do for my birthday, is that okay?
Tenma	You’d like to request something huh.
Kazunari	‘course it’s okay~ !
Yuki	Well, it won’t be a surprise or anything of that sort anymore, but if you’re fine with it then go ahead.
Muku	Kyu-chan, is there somewhere you’d like to go to?
Kumon	Yeah! Hehe, I’d like to go bowling with everyone~ !
Tenma	Heeh, bowling huh.
Muku	Wah, seems fun! Since it’s what you want to do, of course it’s okay!
Yuki	Heeeh, it’s been a while so it’s not that bad.
Misumi	Seems interesting~ ! I want to go too!
Kazunari	Wow, a bowling birthday party just smells of high vibes! Let’s go~ !
Kumon	Really?! Yayyy!!
	I want to take that opportunity to have you with us too Director! Let’s go together!
Izumi	Of course it’s okay.
Kumon	Yay, thanks! I’m so looking forward to it!
Izumi	By the way, why bowling?
Kumon	Actually, I went once with Nii-chan before. It was super fun so I wanted to go once more with Summer troupe members!
Izumi	When you do bowling once, it’s so fun you want to do it again huh~ I understand that feeling.
Tenma	Well then, this year’s Kumon’s birthday party will be bowling then.
Kazunari	Yay! Let’s pump it up!
Kumon	Mmm~ This hot dog is so yummy!
Sakuya	Wah, true. It’s really good!
Tsumugi	Good morning.
Kumon	Tsumugi-san, good morning~ !
Tsumugi	Fufu, you’re already in good shape this early in the morning. Did something good happen?
Kumon	When Tenma is done with his work today, I’m going bowling with all Summer troupe members and Director!
Sakuya	Oh, true it’s the day you decided to hold your birthday party huh. Have lots of fun there.
Kumon	Yeah I will! Thanks!
Tsumugi	Speaking of birthday parties, I heard using “hello celestial sphere” was kind of a custom, is everyone really using it?
Kumon	Everyone in the Summer troupe has used it until now!
Sakuya	Hello celestial sphere… if you wish upon your own celestial sphere, your wish will become true for one day; it was one item of the Seven Mysteries of the company huh.
	It seems the former members of the company were using it, and it seems great to make memories so I can’t wait to use it too.
Tsumugi	… won’t something weird happen… ?
Kumon	? I don’t know but I don’t think something weird will happen?
Tsumugi	I see… would be great…
Kumon	Hmm… but when Sumi-san, Tenma-san and even Yuki used it, nothing happened on my side so does it mean…
	Maybe the wish doesn’t come true after all…
	Al~right! I’m going to use it and confirm by myself whether it comes true or not!
Kumon	Uwa, I’m super excited!
Izumi	There are less people than I have expected, it’s great.
Muku	Tenma-kun is here too, so it would be a pain if he were surrounded by his fans huh.
Kazunari	O~kay, everyone! I have brought juice!
Misumi	It’s can juice!
Yuki	It’s not that bad to have a toast with canned juice bottles from time to time.
Tenma	Do you hold a can, everyone? Alright, let’s toast to Kumon’s birthday.
	Kumon, happy birthday!
Everyone	Cheers! Happy birthday!
Kumon	Thank you everyone!
Kazunari	Let’s get started with the happy-happy birthday bowling party!
Izumi	Alright, let’s go choosing a ball.
Muku	Yes!
Izumi	I’ll go with this one.
	Oh Kumon-kun, you already chose a ball. How fast.
Kumon	Yep! I came here before, that’s why.
	Hey hey, are you good with bowling?
Izumi	I came here once with Banri-kun, I think I’m doing okay with it.
	How about you?
Kumon	I think I’m pretty good too! I’ll show you how cool I can be~ !
Misumi	I chose the ball~
Kazunari	Already?!
Tenma	Alright, let’s get started.

Tenma	Let’s start with Kumon.
Kumon	O~kay, I’ll do it!
Yuki	Let’s see what you’re made of.
Muku	Kyu-chan, good luck!
Kumon	Fuuu… ha!
	Yayyy~ !
Izumi	Amazing! A strike!
Tenma	Heh, not bad for a first ball.
Muku	Kyu-chan, you’re so cool!
Yuki	As expected of the one who said he wanted to hold a bowling party for his birthday.
Kazunari	Kumopi, amazing~ ! As expected of today’s MVP!
Kumon	Yayyy, high touch with everyone!
Izumi	High touch!
Misumi	Okay, I’ll do my best too!
	Let’s go!
Kazunari	Miyoshi Kazunari, ready!
Yuki	… !
Muku	Ei~ !
	Yay, a spare!
Kumon	Muku, so cool! You’re in good shape~ !
Izumi	Impressive, everyone’s so good?!
Kazunari	Yayy, everyone’s getting high!!
Tenma	Alright, now is my turn huh.
Yuki	Are you sure you don’t want to take any measures so your ball doesn't fall into the gutter~ ?
Tenma	As if I needed any of them! Anyway, just look at me.
	Fuu…
Kumon	Tenma-san, are you really going to throw your ball in this posture?!
Izumi	True it’s special…
Kazunari	Haha, as expected of Tenten!
Yuki	Aren’t you too bent? Don’t tell me you actually aim at managing to throw the ball that way?
Tenma	… ha!
Muku	!! Strike!!
Yuki	Is he even serious…
Kazunari	Wow Tenten, your position was super duper amazing!
Misumi	Amazing, Tenma!
Tenma	Humpf, what do you say about it?
Kumon	Tenma, so cool!!
Izumi	That’s really amazing, Tenma-kun!
Tenma	Well yeah~ !
Misumi	Next is Director-chan huh. Do you best!
Izumi	Okay…
	Let’s go!
Tenma	Oh, not that bad.
Muku	You’re also good at this, Director-san!
Yuki	Not that bad I guess.
Izumi	Thanks. I’ll do my best to do a spare strike!
Kazunari	The tension’s getting higher again! Next is your turn again, Kumopi.
Kumon	Yeah! Haaaa...~ !
	Lightning that runs through the sky of the realm of the dead…
	Dark spiral thunderbolt!!!
Yuki	What the hell is this technique name?
Muku	Waaah, sounds like it’s out from a fantasy manga!
Misumi	You’re so cool, Kumon!
Kazunari	Something like his ultimate technique?! How cool! Let’s do it too!
Tenma	True the tension will get high with that huh.
Misumi	I’ll do it too!
	Triangle onigiri sankaku shot!!
Izumi	Haha, as expected of Misumi-kun.
Kazunari	Next is my turn!
	Haaa…~ ! Colorful party high emotion!
Kumon	Everyone is so cool! Next is Yuki! Say something too, Yuki!
Yuki	I’ll pass.
Kumon	If you can’t think of something, I’ll come of a name for you!
	Hummm… How about “cool swing nocturne”? Or “Fantastic lily wing”?!
Yuki	Lame. I’ll pass.
Kumon	What?!
Tenma	By coming up with techniques names while throwing balls, it seems like we are creating a role too, it’s interesting.
Muku	It’s fun to think about them too!
Kazunari	Director-chan, your technique names based on spices' names were amazing!
Kumon	It sounded like magic spell names, it was cool!
Izumi	Next is Yuki-kun’s last ball huh.
Kumon	Yuki, it’s my birthday so please say a technique name! It’s my lifetime request to you!
Yuki	You’re so persistent. Don’t use this as a lifetime request.
Kumon	If you don’t say it, I won’t go back to the dorms!
Yuki	Aaah, geez…
	… fantastic lily wing.
Kumon	… !!
Kazunari	Yukki has said a technique name!!
Misumi	Waah~ !!
Kumon	Yuki, thanks! It was the best! You were super cool!
Yuki	Aaah, you’re all so noisy.
Izumi	(Fufu, Kumon and everyone else seem happy)
Misumi	It was so fun!
Muku	I had lots of fun too.
Tenma	Was good to sweat a lot.
CHOICE 1: The tension was really high! [+] Izumi The bowling party raised the tension high! Kazunari I know right! I took lots of pics! Kumon Aaah, I’m super satisfied! Thank you everyone! Muku Let’s go again sometime. Kazunari Would it be more amazing to do a bowling competition with the company’s members?! Tenma Oooh, a competition against other troupes might be good. Yuki Seems like it would be super noisy... Kumon Uwoooh, seems super fun! If that moment comes, let’s all aim for our Summer troupe’s victory! Misumi Yay!
CHOICE 2: Kumon-kun, you were really cool. [+] Izumi You looked so cool when playing bowling, Kumon-kun. Kumon Really?! Yayyy! It was super fun! Bowling might be my current obsession! Izumi Yeah I want to go again sometime too. Kumon Hehe, it would be great to do a secret training for only the two of us! Director, let’s go again! Izumi Yeah!
Kumon	Ah, right!
	Ta-dah!!
Kazunari	Ah, hello celestial sphere!
Yuki	Don’t tell me you brought it on purpose?
Kumon	Of course!
Izumi	Did you decide what you were going to ask?
Kumon	Yeah, I already decided!
Tenma	You thoroughly thought about it huh.
Kazunari	Alright then, tell your wish!
Kumon	Hello cancer’s celestial sphere…
	I want to go to another world with the Summer troupe members and protect the peace there with them!

???	…mon… Kumon!
Kumon	Nn??
Muku	Kyu-chan, wake up!
Kumon	Everyone… ?
	(Why are they wearing costumes?)
Tenma	Kumon, today we’re going to protect the world's peace!
Kumon	Eh?!
Yuki	Here, wear this quickly.
Kumon	Don’t tell me… my wish came true?! Yay!
	Wait, I’m going to change clothes right away!
Kumon	I changed clothes but…
	(Why this outfit though? I thought I would be wearing something cooler and more hero-like just like in a RPG!)
	They’re the ones looking more like they’re out of a RPG…
Kazunari	Okay, we’re all gathered huh!
Misumi	Alright, let’s go!
Kumon	But well, if we’re going to protect the world’s peace, I can do it no matter what my clothes are~ ! ♪
Tenma	It seems like the entrance for another world is situated in this street.
Kumon	You’re right! Where is the gate?!
Misumi	… ah!
Tenma	… ! Evil’s servant, you’ve finally appeared… !
Kumon	What?!
Kazunari	Haaa! Taaa-- !!
Yuki	Muku, behind you!
Muku	Haaa! Yaaah!!
Kumon	(Everyone is fighting against an invisible enemy… ?)
Misumi	Shuuu!! Triangle slash!!
Kazunari	Guuu… they’re pretty strong!
Tenma	Haa!!
Kumon	(Don’t tell me… it’s a street act?!)
	Eeeh??!! When I thought my wish had come true?!
Yuki	Hero Kumon! Please hurry to the front line!
Kumon	!
Muku	I’m counting on you, Kyu-chan!
Kumon	Y-Yeah!
	Let’s go! Yaaah!!
Passerby A	What what? A fantasy action street act?
Passerby B	Wow, it’s cool!
Passerby C	Do your best, heroes!
Kumon	Here, take this! Nein blade black falcon!
Passerbys	Yes, that way!!
Kumon	Haa~ We did street acts in lots of spots! Lots of people were watching us, it was super fun!
Kazunari	I’m tired but it was super fun!
Muku	We successfully managed to protect the world’s peace with all of this.
Misumi	It’s all thanks to the hero Kumon!
Tenma	Yeah, you were flamboyant.
Yuki	As expected of a hero.
Kumon	Hehe.
	(We didn’t manage to go to another world, and it’s not like we really protected the world’s peace but... it was fun in its own way!)
	Good morning!
Muku	Kyu-chan, good morning!
Yuki	Good morning.
Kumon	It was really fun to protect the world’s peace together yesterday huh!
Muku	The world’s peace?
Tenma	What are you talking about?
Kumon	Eh? You were all wearing costumes yesterday and we fought together to protect the world’s peace, right?
Kazunari	Protecting the world’s peace?! What’s with this, it sounds cool!
Misumi	It would be fun if we were to fight all together!
Kumon	But, like I said we were all fighting together yesterday… don’t tell me it was a dream?!
Yuki	Maybe.
Tenma	Geez, no matter how you look at it, it could’ve just been a dream.
Kumon	(it sounded too real to be a dream… ah!)
	(Maybe hello celestial sphere also has the ability to erase a day's worth of memories?!)
	Uwaaah! Hello celestial sphere is amazing!!
Summer troupe members	???
