| Tsuzuru | —Alright. Time to send off the finished product to Hidaka-san. |
| Pheeeew… |
| *KNOCK KNOCK* |
| Coming! |
| Izumi | Tsuzuru-kun, can I have a moment? I was gonna talk to you about the schedule involving the next script. Before that though, how is the CM script itself going? |
| Tsuzuru | Actually, I just sent in the first draft for approval. |
| Izumi | That so? Thank you for your work. |
| *MAIL NOTIFICATION* |
| Tsuzuru | Ah! Looks like he replied right away. |
| “Thank you for sending in the first draft. We’ll be going over it and send feedback in a follow-up mail——” |
| To cut it short, it seems like the next step will be after another briefing. |
| I really hope the script is to their liking… |
| Izumi | You’ve gotten the OK on the plot line, so I think it’s gonna turn out fine. Plus, since the theme is about part-time jobs, I’d say that, in a way, it’s already one of your specialties, Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | ….I suppose. |
| Izumi | …Is something wrong? |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, it’s nothing, don’t mind it. |
| Izumi | …Is that so. Hey, how about going out and getting some exercise to help change your mood? |
| Just now, Tasuku-san was looking for some members to join for a short practice match. I’m sure he was hoping to get you to join them too, Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh. Guess I’ll catch up. |
| Speaking of, Takato-san did part-time before… I kinda wanna ask him about his gas station job especially. |
| Izumi | The two of you worked in the same gas station before, right? |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. I haven’t found the right moment to ask him yet, even after all this time… Still, I’m gonna try asking him about old times while we’re at it. |
| |
| Tsuzuru | Phew…. We did it! Champion goal! |
| Tasuku | Yeah, that was a real good game. |
| Tsumugi | Great work out there, all of you. Here, we brought drinks for everyone. |
| Misumi | Have some onigiri too~ |
| Tsuzuru | Tsukioka-san and Ikaruga-san!? Since when —— |
| Juza | You guys were here? |
| Misumi | Tsumugi said that the members for today’s match were different than usual, so he was curious about it~ |
| So we made onigiri together then came here to watch you guys~ |
| Tasuku | Well, without Izumida and Settsu here, I was a little worried about how we started off since not every member was fully aware of the rules. |
| But since everyone had good reflexes, with some teamwork, it all worked out. |
| Tsumugi | Especially during the second half, everyone’s vigor was amazing to watch! Good work to you two as well, Juza-kun, Chikage-san. |
| Chikage | Thanks. Hopefully I was useful enough. |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Tsuzuru | It’s been a while since I worked up such a sweat. I feel much more refreshed now. |
| Omi | You’ve been nothing but writing this whole time, yet you managed to be pretty agile today. |
| Tsuzuru | With everyone else having such good reflexes, I kinda just dragged with the current. |
| Tasuku | I’m just glad we didn’t have Tsumugi as one of the substitutes. |
| Tsumugi | Ehhh... |
| Misumi | Tsuzuru's been just writing? Is it the script for the commercial you mentioned before? |
| Tsuzuru | Sure was. |
| Actually, now that you bring it up. So you know how I was interviewing everyone about their part-time experiences? I was hoping to hear about yours too, Takato-san. |
| Since we worked in the same gas station too, I thought it’d be a good chance to catch up on those stories too. |
| Tasuku | Speaking of….. Isn’t that very station nearby? |
| Tsumugi | Are you guys talking about your past job location— the one where you and Tsuzuru-kun worked for a while? |
| Tasuku | That one. |
| Tsuzuru | I think it should be around here, yeah. |
| Omi | Well, since we’re close, why don’t we check it out together? |
| Tasuku | We could, huh. We’d have to take the slightly roundabout way, but it’s around the same road down where the public baths are. I’ll lead the way. |
