| Kazunari | I really like this café, you see~ |
| Haruto | —! |
| Juza | Even though there are so many things on the menu, I frankly don’t know what to pick… |
| Kazunari | Hmm, I recommend this anmitsu parfait! |
| Juza | Aight, I’ll go with that. |
| |
| Employee | Thank you for waiting! Here’s your anmitsu parfait. |
| Juza | So this is an anmitsu parfait… |
| Kazunari | Hold on now Hyodoru, could it be that you have never had sweets before!? |
| Juza | Yeah, this is my first time seeing something like this. |
| Kazunari | Ain’t it kyoot though~! It tastes good too, try it~! |
| Juza | …Well then, here we go… |
| Munch… |
| —!!! |
| …I have never had something like this before... So good… |
| Kazunari | Ahaha, I’m happy to see that you like it~! Hey, have some of mine too! |
| Juza | Is that really okay? |
| Kazunari | Ofc! But in exchange, you gotta tag along with me again. |
| Juza | If you’re fine with me, sure. |
| Kazunari | Isn’t it obvious that it is! |
| Juza | …Having stayed in trees all of my life so far, I never really had any interest in things happening in the city. |
| But if there are tasty things like this waiting for me, maybe coming down on to the ground isn’t so bad. |
| Kazunari | I know right! I’ll tell you about another tasty place sometime! |
| Juza | Yea. |
| Hang on… we were going to talk about the leaders. |
| Kazunari | Oh, that’s right! |
| I’m hoping that Tenten and Settsaa will eventually make peace with each other, but I still wonder if there’s something I could do. |
| So that’s why I was wondering if Settsaa might have told you something about the matter. |
| Juza | As I said before, I haven’t heard anything. He’s not talking about it. |
| Kazunari | Aww, that so~… We can’t really do anything about it if we don’t know the reason behind everything, huh… |
| Ah! Sakusaku~! Tsumutsumu~! |
| Sakuya | Oh, you two didn’t go back home yet! |
| Kazunari | We’re talking about our leaders, y’see. |
| Juza | Yea. |
| Tsumugi | I see. It would be nice if Tenma-kun and Banri-kun could make up… |
| Sakuya | I agree. Seeing those two who normally get along so well having a fight… it’s really sad. |
| Juza | What are you two doing here, Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | I’m still curious about that mischief problem of ours, so I was thinking of holding a strategy meeting. |
| Sakuya | I thought that there might be a chance some trouble might arise again, so I reached out to Tsumugi-san for some guidance. |
| Kazunari | I see~ |
| Tsumugi | I think it’s strange that mischief happened in all four countries at the exact same time. |
| I was thinking that, for example, the culprit could be someone outside of our circle… or something along those lines. Of course, it’s all just speculation at this point. |
| Kazunari | That would make sense… Hyodoru, what do you think? |
| Juza | Like Tsumugi-san said, I don’t think anyone from our countries would be behind mischief like this. I don’t want to believe it. |
| Kazunari | Right. Me too. |
| Sakuya | It’s important for our countries to be united, and for that to happen we need to stop doubting each other! |
| Kazunari | Yeah! |
| Oh, right! Hey Hyodoru, wanna investigate this mischief business with me? |
| Let’s leave Sakusaku and Tsumutsumu’s to protect their own homes! We can take a look at all sorts of stuff afterwards! |
| Juza | True. |
| Haruto | …Tsk… |
| Kazunari | Huh? …Just now… |
| Tsumugi | Kazu-kun? |
| Kazunari | Oh! It’s nothing! |
| Awright, let’s look into everything tomorrow! |
| |
 |
| Haruto | Good day, Reni-san. They have started suspecting that an outsider is the culprit behind the tricks. |
| Reni | “If they’re planning to do something unnecessary, you’ll just have to take tougher measures.” |
| Haruto | Yes sir. |
