Muku	So, in today’s break time--
	Huh? Over there it’s…
Yuki	Hmm?
Izumi	Oh, Muku-kun and Yuki-kun! You two just came back from school, right? Welcome back.
Muku	Thank you, Director-san!
Yuki	Yeah, we’re back. Are you going somewhere?
Izumi	Yup. And are you both going straight home?
Yuki	That’s the plan.
Izumi	Then, mind joining me in buying some donuts?
Muku	Donuts?
Izumi	The thing is, I somehow managed to win a gift certificate from a raffle that I entered just for fun.
	And there’s a donut shop in Veludo Way so I thought of using it there.
Yuki	That so. If that’s the case then I don’t mind tagging along.
Muku	Oh that’s right, Kazu-kun said that a limited-time flavor has come out again recently!
Izumi	Yeah, I was also curious about that.
Passerby A	Something crazy’s going on over there!
Passerby B	Let’s go, let’s go!
Yuki	Seems like it’s pretty rowdy up ahead…
Muku	I wonder what’s going on. Is there something happening in the plaza?
Izumi	We might as well check it out for a bit.
Spectator A	Woah~! It’s like magic!
Spectator B	Amazing! Is that really a human!?
Spectator C	So cool~!
Muku	Looks like that clown is doing a performance.
Yuki	Could it be something like a street performance?
Misumi	And there!
Izumi	…Wait, Misumi-kun!?
Misumi	Everyone, make sure to come by the circus~
Yuki	Seems like the crowd’s all settled down.
Muku	Good job out there, Misumi-san!
Misumi	Ah! Muku, Yuki, and even Director-san! So you guys were watching~!
Yuki	We just happened to be passing by.
Muku	Misumi-san’s juggling is as good as ever!
Izumi	You’re very popular even among the audience.
Misumi	Ehehe, thank you~!
Yuki	Anyways, why are you out here juggling in a clown costume?
Misumi	It’s for my part time at the circus that I haven’t been to in a while!
	There weren’t enough workers, so I’m helping with the advertising. So when I perform tricks, I can hand out flyers just like this~
Muku	So that’s why, I see.
Izumi	If it’s alright with you, can we get a flyer, too?
Misumi	Sorry~ I just handed them all out.
Yuki	Well, quite a lot of people did see it.
Izumi	It’s a good thing that the advertising went well with your exciting tricks.
Misumi	Hey, why don’t you all come see the circus, too!? I’ll invite you all!
Muku	Woah, can we really!? I’m so happy!
Izumi	Thank you! We’ll definitely go.
Yuki	I guess that kind of thing is fine every now and then.
Misumi	Yay~! Then I’ll prepare your flyers and tickets~!
Muku	A circus… How exciting!
Yuki	By the way, won’t the shop close if we don’t hurry over there?
Izumi	Ah!
Misumi	What shop~?
Muku	We were planning to go to a donut shop.
Misumi	Ooh, donuts! I wanna eat triangle donuts!
Yuki	There’s no such thing as that.
Izumi	That reminds me, Kazunari-kun bought me some triangular donuts before.
Yuki	You’re kidding.
Izumi	Well if there are triangle donuts, we’ll buy them.
Misumi	Thankies!
	I still have my part time job, so I’ll see you guys later~
Muku	Okay! Good luck!

Misumi	And… Go…!
	Huff…
Izumi	Great work on the juggling practice, Misumi-kun. Wanna take a break and eat donuts?
Misumi	Thank you, Director-san! Could it be, triangle donuts!?
Izumi	Sorry, they didn’t have those donuts. I think those were a limited-time thing.
Misumi	Oh, it was? That’s sad…
Izumi	But hey, there were limited triangular donuts just today.
Misumi	Really!?
Izumi	Yup. Well, they were sold out when I got there, but I did get a flyer. Take a look.
Misumi	Woah, a pretty red triangle!
Izumi	There’s a description of the donuts here. Let’s see…
	“It’s a unique, triangular, and cute raspberry-glazed donut topped with star flakes.”
	So it’s raspberry flavored~ It looks so cute and tasty.
Misumi	This donut…
Izumi	Misumi-kun?
Misumi	This donut looks like a circus tent!
Izumi	Well now that you say it, it does…
Misumi	It’s a sparkly, red, and circus tent-looking donut~
	I wanna go buy them too, but… I might not because I have to do part time at the circus for a while…
Izumi	It looks like they’re selling this until next month, I’ll see if I can buy some.
Misumi	Really!? Thank you, Director-san!
	This round donut was tasty~! Thank you for the food.
	Eating yummy donuts and talking with Director-san gave me full energy! Alright, I’ll work hard at practice!
Izumi	You’re still going to practice?
Misumi	Yup! I haven’t done it in a while so I feel like I’m a bit rusty~
Izumi	(Well it certainly didn’t look that way when I saw him practicing earlier...)
	Looks like you’re fully motivated.
Misumi	Hehe. Well that’s because I love my job~
	The tent and decorations are triangles. And I get to see tons of people laugh and smile.
	It’s a place brimming with triangles!
Izumi	Fufu, I see.
CHOICE 1: I’m excited to see it. [+] Izumi I’m excited to see all of that, too. Misumi I’m also super excited for Director-san and everyone else to come by and see! I’ll practice hard. I’ll be doing all sorts of jumps and cool tricks so watch me, Director-san! Izumi Yes, of course!
CHOICE 2: Is it okay if I watch you practice? [+] Izumi Can I watch you practice for a bit? Misumi Of course! Misumi Just like when I do acting, when Director-san watches over me, I feel like I can do my very best and I can become even better~ Izumi When you say it like that, I get kinda embarrassed… Well, it also makes me happy that I can be of help to Misumi-kun. Izumi I want to support you, so just ask me for anything. Misumi Okay! Thank you, Director-san!
Kazunari	I knew a circus motif was gonna be insanely cute, these vibes are off the charts!
Kumon	This is so exciting~! I was so excited that I woke up extra early today!
Tenma	You’re like a grade schooler before a trip.
Yuki	You say that, but even you were so excited that you couldn’t fall asleep.
Tenma	Gah… Y-you’ve got it all wrong…
	By the way, why’d you bring a sketchbook here?
Yuki	I want to take notes on the costumes for reference.
Muku	This reminds me of our circus play. It would’ve been nice if Arisu-san and Sakuya-kun came along as well.
Izumi	Let’s bring them together next time.
Muku	Let’s!
Spectator A	When I got the flyer, I told myself I definitely have to come see this.
Spectator B	Yeah, me too!
Spectator C	Mama, is that clown appearing too!?
Spectator D	I’m sure that guy’s appearing. This is exciting.
Izumi	(Sounds like the people who saw Misumi-kun’s promotion came by.)
Kumon	It’s fun when the venue’s all enthused even just waiting.
Muku	Ahh, I’m getting antsy.
Kazunari	Ah, it’s aboutta start!
Ringmaster	Hello everyone! Welcome to our circus!

Kumon	Oh, it’s Sumi-san!
Kazunari	So awesome! So Sumi’s the first guy to come out! That’s ultra-hype!
Misumi	Here I go~!
Spectator A	That’s incredible jumping power! He jumped on that ball easily!
Spectator B	Eh, he’s juggling AND doing acrobats!?
Spectator C	Mr. Clown’s amazing! He’s so cool!
Muku	Misumi-san’s fantastic…!
Yuki	He’s pretty good.
Kumon	Sumi-san! Way to go!
Misumi	--!
Tenma	Hmm? Misumi’s coming over here.
Misumi	You guys, thank you for coming here~!
Izumi	Woah, balloons!
Kazunari	We can have one!? Much thanks~!
Muku	Thank you very much! Misumi-san, you look so cool when you're shining radiantly!
Misumi	Ehehe~! Make sure to have tons of fun here in the circus, okay?
Misumi	Hah! Swoosh!
Taichi	So cool! Being able to juggle while doing acrobats is seriously impressive!
Citron	Misumi, you’re very good!
Yuki	Ever since we went to the circus, the dorms have been completely circus-fied.
Muku	The circus was really fun. Misumi-san was super incredible, the other performances were also cool, and the animals were just the cutest.
Kumon	Yeah yeah! I was totally immersed!
Misumi	And there! Triangle~!
Sakyo	Ikaruga, I know you’re great at that and all, but it’s dangerous so you better do it outside.
Misumi	Got it~
Taichi	You can definitely just get captivated by Misumi-san doing tricks.
Citron	I have heard that a lot of people gathered at the plaza when he was doing a promotion.
Banri	Well, he does have quite an impression.
Misumi	Okay then, I’ll continue outside.
Sakyo	…Hey.
Misumi	What’s up~?
Sakyo	Take this, leave it at your feet.
Misumi	?
Izumi	(Oh am I lucky that there were some left today~)
	Hmm? It’s a little rowdy in front of the dorms…
Taichi	Please stay in this vicinity to not block traffic~
Citron	It is easier to see on this side, so please feel free!
Muku	Thank you everyone!
Izumi	Is everyone doing some kind of service? What for?
Misumi	And-a-go!
Izumi	(Woah, Misumi-kun’s juggling in front of the dorms!)
Spectator A	Woah, amazing!
Spectator B	I’ll give a tip!
Spectator C	You’re impressive, Misumi-kun~!
Izumi	(What is that clinking sound…?)
	He has a tip box at his feet…!
Sakyo	Oh, Director-san, you’re back.
	I was just trying to see what would happen if I placed that, I didn’t think it’d be this successful.
Izumi	(So it was Sakyo-san’s idea. I should have known…)
Misumi	Everyone, thank you very much~!
	Ah, Director-san! Welcome back!
Izumi	Thanks, Misumi-kun.
Misumi	Ehehe, I made extra income~! Director-san, we can eat the circus donuts with this!
Izumi	Fufufu…
	In terms of circus donuts, I’ve already bought them! Tada!
Misumi	What!? Really!?
	Yipee! Thank you Director-san!
Izumi	Fufu. In return for rewarding you with these donuts, I want Misumi-kun to show me to your circus again.
Misumi	Deal! I’ll show Director-san a great triangle circus!
	Triangle triangle~!
