Misumi	~ ♪
Cat	Meow.
Misumi	Hm~? Are you going home too, Mr. cat?
	So am I~.
Cat	Meoow, meoow.
Misumi	Ahaha, these are chocolates!
	I got them at my part-time job earlier~.
	I wonder how many triangle chocolates I can make if I have this many?
	…Ah! Maybe I can re-build the chocolate mountain that I made before!
Cat	Meow!
Misumi	Mr. cat is supporting me too?
	Ehehe, thanks~. I’ll make it right away when I get home!
	I’m back~.
Izumi	Welcome home.
	Woah, what’s with those chocolates!
Misumi	You see, I got them at my part-time job earlier~.
Izumi	Oh, so Misumi-kun had work today.
	Good job.
Misumi	Thanks!
Izumi	Anyways, you really received a lot of chocolates, huh?
Misumi	Yeah. They’re the ones that aren’t gonna be used at the store since their edges are chipped and stuff!
Izumi	I see.
Misumi	Hey, hey, can I use the kitchen~?
Izumi	Sure, there’s still time before I'll prepare for dinner so you’re free to use it in the meantime.
	Well, I’m going out shopping now.
Misumi	Shopping?
	I’ll help carry your bags!
Izumi	Thank you. But it’s fine.
	I’m just buying a few extra things, so one person is enough.
Misumi	Are you sure~?
Izumi	Yep. I’ll let you know when I want help again.
	Alright, I’ll be off!
Misumi	Have a nice tri~p, and stay safe!
	…Okay!
	Hmhm~m, chocolate triangle mountains ♪
	I’ll make lots this time too~.
	First, scrape it, then melt it over a hot bath.
	I think it was like this last time too!
	One mountain, two mountain, three mountain…
	I was able to make lots of mountains~!
	But the amount of chocolate isn’t decreasing at all.
	Ummm…
	…Oh yeah!
Yuki	We’re back.
Muku	We’re home!
Misumi	…
Yuki	He hasn’t noticed us.
Muku	He looks really serious.
	What could he be doing…
Yuki	More like, what is this overwhelming sweet smell?
Muku	Yuki-kun, look!
	There’s a mountain range over there…!
Yuki	…Making a diorama out of chocolate; this guy’s dexterous for nothing.
Misumi	Ah! Muku, Yuki, welcome home.
	Sorry, I didn’t notice you guys were there.
Muku	Not at all.
	Misumi-san, you were really focused, huh?
Yuki	But what’s with that huge amount of chocolate?
Misumi	I got them at work earlier~.
	I had a whole bunch, so I was making chocolate mountains!
Muku	That reminds me, Misumi-san, you made chocolate mountains before too, right?
Misumi	I had even more chocolate this time so I’m making a river that runs between the mountains too!
Yuki	Ma said it looked like a mountain range when you made them last time, but you actually made one, huh? What’s with this uselessly high quality.
Muku	Wahh, it’s so cute!
	It’s as if animals are living there too—.
	Oh, right!
	Hey, Yuki-kun, wouldn’t it be possible to use those?
Yuki	Those?
Muku	Yeah!
	…Misumi-san, please wait a moment!
Misumi	?

Muku	Sorry for making you wait!
Misumi	Wahh, it’s a rabbit and a bear!
	Are those chocolate too?
Muku	No, they’re candles I bought thinking they could be used for a birthday party or something.
Yuki	Ahh, the ones you said you couldn’t light because you were sad they’d melt, right?
Muku	Yes. How about I place these animal candles by the riverside?
Misumi	Try placing them~!
	*door opens*
Kazunari	We’re home~!
Banri	I’m back.
Misumi	Kazu, Banri, welcome home~!
Kazunari	Woahh, what the, that’s so lit!
	Doesn’t that look like something super duper fun!?
Banri	A diorama made of chocolate…?
Misumi	Yeah, chocolate mountains!
Yuki	Plus it’s a collab with Muku’s animal candles.
Kazunari	Ehh, in that case I wanna add something too!
	Um, let’s see…
	Got it! Maybe I can use these biscuits!
Banri	Ah, a lot of those were forced onto you at uni.
Kazunari	Yep, yep. They’re the ones I got from my friends.
	Place it like this, arrange it like so, and connect it with the chocolate…
Muku	Wahh, you made a biscuit cabin!
Yuki	That reminds me this guy was dexterous too.
Misumi	It’s a house with a triangle roof!
	Kazu, you’re so good~!
Kazunari	For realsies?
	Yayyy, thanks ☆
	*door opens*
Omi	I’m home.
Misumi	Omi, welcome back~!
Kazunari	Look at this choco diorama!
	Sumi’s the one who made it; isn’t it dope!?
Omi	Wow, a chocolate mountain range, huh…
	Oh, right. In that case, can’t you use this too?
	Put it in the sieve like this—
	Here, Misumi, shake it.
Misumi	Shake, shake, shake…
	Wahh, it’s snow!
	That’s amazing, Omi, amazing!
Yuki	Powdered sugar snow?
	I see what you did there.
Banri	It’s becoming more and more like a full-fledged diorama…
Kazunari	It’s great, it’s great!
	Let’s add even more things~!
Misumi	Yeah!
Izumi	(I only planned to buy a few things, but they were holding sales here and there so I ended up totally late.)
	(I thought I’d prepare dinner first, but…!
	Omi-kun’s already back home at this hour, right?)
	I’m back!
	Woahh!
	Wh…what is this!?
Misumi	Ah, Direcor-san, welcome hooome!
Izumi	This colourful, mountainy diorama is—wait, is this chocolate!?
Misumi	Yep!
	Thanks for letting me use the kitchen!
Izumi	(Did Misumi-kun want to make this…?)
Yuki	At first, the Triangle Alien just made some mountains.
Banri	But while all of us were adding to it, it sorta became like a huge work of art.
Kazunari	Everyone’s huge collab piece is super legit!
	‘Kay, cheese! And click~!
	*click*
Misumi	Triangle cheese~!
CHOICE 1: I was surprised. [+] Izumi I was surprised how amazing it turned out. I can’t believe it was made out of chocolate! Misumi Ehehe, they came out better than the mountains I made before~! Hey, hey, Director, let’s take a commemorative picture together! Izumi Eh, me? Misumi Yep! Since I made this while thinking you’d be happy when you saw it! I’ll also give the biggest and most special triangle mountain to Director! Izumi Fufu, I see. Thank you.
CHOICE 2: Was it fun? [+] Izumi So everyone made it together. Was it fun? Misumi Yeah! I thought I'd make chocolate mountains by myself at first—. But then everyone started bringing lots of different stuff in the middle of it so it became more and more fun~. I love everyone at this company because we do so many things together right away, just like this! Izumi Ahaha! That’s true, all the members here are down for anything, right? Misumi It’s not just the members, but Director too~ Let’s keep doing loads of fun things from now on too, ‘kay! Izumi Yeah, totally!
	At any rate—that’s an incredible amount of chocolate, but just how are we going to consume it all…
Omi	That’s true. It’s a bit of a shame but maybe we can break it up, arrange it, and make into dessert tonight?
Misumi	Yeah, let’s eat it together~!
	Hey, Omi, will you make the dessert’s shape a triangle?
Omi	Sure, I’ll think about it.
Misumi	Yaaay, thanks~!
