Tsuzuru
ItaruWhat’s going on with them?
CitronIt’s park of the roommate mission.
ItaruPart. …I see. If it’s an assignment from Director-san and Yukio-san, then of course Masumi’s gonna pull out all the stops.
TsuzuruI get that it’s an assignment, but I’m being watched way too closely so it feels unnerving…
I wonder if this is how Director felt all the time…
MasumiIt’s not like I’m looking at you because I like you. Don’t get full of yourself.
TsuzuruI know, that. Geez.
MasumiDon’t let it bother you then.
TsuzuruEven if you say that…
Well, I guess I just gotta bear with it…
Masumi(I tried observing Tsuzuru. But when it comes to my skit, I can’t decide how I should act out what kind of scene…)
(Let’s review what Yukio-san told us again…)
MadokaMasumi… oh, I’m sorry. Were you in the middle of something?

MasumiNot really. I was just thinking a bit.
MadokaI see.
Those… don’t look like notes from your lecture.
MasumiThese are notes I made when Yukio-san paid the dorm a visit and spoke to us the other day.
MadokaOh, I see. I’m a little surprised to hear you took notes.
MasumiIt’s important, after all.
Madoka…?
…Ah, got it. You’re going to act like your roommate, huh?
That sounds like something MANKAI Company would do.
MasumiThe range of Tsuzuru I see everyday is way too wide though.
I can’t decide what I should cut out and what I should show.
MadokaWell, you have a point…
But you’re the who’s living in the same room as him. I assume there must be a side of Tsuzuru-san that only you can act out.
MasumiA side of Tsuzuru only I can act…
…I’ll take another look at my notes and think it over.
MadokaSure, good luck with that.
TsuzuruIs it a tad large?
Masumi…A little bit. But this much is fine.

TsuzuruI thought I would feel weirder about it…
But it’s kind of like when my little brothers wear my hand-me-downs.
MasumiI’ve never worn hand-me-downs before.
TsuzuruNo surprises there~.
Masumi
How much do these clothes cost in total? Like 50,000 yen?
TsuzuruEh? Uh, no, I doubt they’re that much…
MasumiAround 5000 yen then?
TsuzuruNow you’re low-balling! They’re worth a little more than that, okay!
MasumiWell, it doesn’t matter either way.
TsuzuruDon’t ask then!
*Sigh*… anyways, you’re going to do a skit with me as the theme? Let me see what you’ve got.
MasumiLend me your laptop.
Alright… watch from a distance.
TsuzuruO-okay…?
Masumi
*types*
“For the last line… what about this?
Wait, no. If it’s this guy we’re talking about, then…”
Tsuzuru(Is this me when I write my scripts…)
Masumi“This is a really common development… But…”
“I got it. Here, I’ll make this guy…”
*types*
“Oh yeah, it’s all coming together…
After that, he’ll definitely—”
Tsuzuru(I… write our scripts with that sort of expression, huh…)
Masumi“IT’S DONE…!”
“I gotta hurry… to Director… everyone…”
*faints*
TsuzuruEHH!? H-hey, Masumi—.
Masumi…Finished.
TsuzuruT-that gave me a heart attack…
Masumi…You used to do that all the time.
Your style was to keep writing with your whole body and soul until you collapsed, wasn’t it?
TsuzuruYeah, I’m sure that shocked and worried everyone…
Sorry about that once again.
MasumiI’m used to it now.
I know you decided you aren’t going to go overboard with your writing methods anymore after our Literary Master play…
But you’re so full of life whenever you’re working on our scripts, I can tell you love it from the bottom of your heart.
There might come a time where you act reckless again one day.
So before that, I thought I’d show you an objective glance at how you were before.
The one who sees you writing our scripts the most… is me.
This is the Tsuzuru that only I can show the world.
Tsuzuru…Yeah. Thanks for always supporting my writing.
It’s helped so much.
MasumiIf you ever write until you faint again, then I guess it can’t be helped. I’ll feed you an energy drink.
I mean, there’s still a story I want you to write… and I’m your roommate, after all.
Tsuzuru…You’re being unusually honest.
MasumiThis was an assignment from Director and Yukio-san. I was just doing it seriously.
TsuzuruThat sounds like you, alright.
Oh yeah. We have to take a polaroid picture, don’t we?
Have you decided on a pose?
Masumi…I thought of one just now.
*click*

TsuzuruAre you saying that pose is me?
MasumiYou do that when you’re feeling shy.
TsuzuruEh?
MasumiYou also did that just a moment ago.
TsuzuruT-thanks for letting me know about that too…
