	—Lounge—
Homare	Hm, this tea has such an excellent aroma.
Muku	It's perfect for afternoon tea.
Izumi	(This feels so relaxing that I'm feeling sleepy...)
Misumi	Yah!
Izumi	WAHH!!! That surprised me!
Muku	Hello, Misumi-san.
Homare	Hey now, Misumi-kun! You came in through the balcony yet again! That is not an entrance, I must say!
Misumi	Sorry~!
	AH!
Homare	Hm, what is the matter?
Misumi	That thing in your cup, it's a triangle!
Homare	Ahh, you mean this teabag. Indeed, it does shaped like one...
Misumi	How lucky~... Triangle~...
Muku	I'm sorry! I already used the last one of it just now...
Homare	It would be improper to give you a used teabag, wouldn't it?
Misumi	I see... Too bad~.
Homare	Hm, just in time that we're running out of teabags... That being the case, would you like to come with me to a tea shop together?
Misumi	EH! Can I?
Homare	Of course, I planned to buy more soon anyway.
	I'm quite sure there are many other shapes of teabags at that shop.
Misumi	I wanna go, I wanna go!
CHOICE 1: Good for you. [+] Izumi Good for you, huh, Misumi-kun? Misumi Yeah! I'm gonna search for lots of triangular ones! Izumi I'm sure you'll find many wonderful teabags at Homare-san's favourite store. Misumi I'm so excited~!
CHOICE 2: Hope you get good ones! [+] Izumi I hope you'll get some good ones! Misumi I'm gonna find lots of triangles! Izumi I'm kinda excited to imagine what kind of teabags you'll discover there. Misumi I'll show you what it looks like when I find one! Izumi Fufu, can't wait for that.
Homare	Well then, we shall depart there once our teatime ends.
	It may not be a triangle, but would you like a cup of tea as well, Misumi-kun?
Muku	We've also prepared some sweets!
Izumi	You can sit over here!
Misumi	I can? Yay~!
	—Tea Shop—
	Woah, there are so many...
Misumi	Ah, I found a triangle!
	Yay~! It's a triangular can of tea~!
	I wonder if there are other triangles~?
Homare	Misumi-kun, here's the section for the teabags.
Misumi	Wahh, you're right! There's even the triangle that was in your cup~!
Homare	There are many different types as well.
	In addition to triangles, there are unique shapes such as animals and fishes.
Misumi	So many kinds that I've never seen before~. Are there any other triangles?
Homare	We've come all the way here, so let us take a look at other products as well.
Misumi	Yeah!
Homare	...Now then, let us head to the cashier.
Misumi	Ah, wait for me~.
	(Umm, the one with triangles is...)
	(This! ...I think!)
	Thank you for today, Arisu!
Homare	I'm glad I could be of some help to you.
Misumi	I wanna hurry up and open it!
	—Room 203—
	I'm back~!
Kumon	Where did you go, Sumi-san?
Misumi	Hehehe, I went to look for triangles with Arisu!
	Here, look!
Kumon	What's this?
Misumi	Apparently it's a tea! There's a pretty triangular teabag in-.
	...Huh?
Kumon	EH! An octo-shaped teabag?! No way, that kind of thing exists?!
	Hella awesome! So cool~!
Misumi	Oh no~...
Kumon	Sumi-san?
Misumi	It's different~!
Kumon	EHH?!
Misumi	It's not what I wanted~...
Kumon	What? You didn't pick it yourself?
Misumi	I was in a hurry, so I bought the octo teabag that was next to the triangular teabag by mistake...
Kumon	Really?!
Misumi	......
Kumon	I-is there anyone here who has a triangular teabag?
Misumi	...That's it!
	I'm gonna trade this teabag with triangular teabag!

	—Lounge (Night)—
Misumi	......
Izumi	(Misumi-kun? He's writing something on the whiteboard...)
	"Please trade your teabag with my teabag."
Izumi	What happened? I thought you went to the tea shop with Homare-san...?
Misumi	We did, but... You see...
	I bought the wrong teabag, so I was thinking of trading teabags with everyone~...
Izumi	I see... You made a mistake...
Misumi	Yeah... I didn't buy the triangular teabag...
Izumi	(He looks so down...)
	(He was looking forward to buying it after all...)
	Hopefully you'll get it in your hands soon.
Misumi	Yeah, I hope everyone sees this...
	—Lounge (Day)—
Tsumugi	Ah, Misumi-kun! I saw the whiteboard.
	I actually bought some tea just the other day. Let's exchange it if you like.
Misumi	Wah! Thank you, Tsumugi!
Muku	I also brought a teabag, as an apology for yesterday...
Misumi	Muku... You're a good kid.
Kazunari	I've also got one here! Let's trade, Sumi~♪
Misumi	You're okay with it too?
Kazunari	Ofc! There's nothing like this kind of exchange, right? It's great cuz both party gets to enjoy various flavors!
Yuki	I've got an extra. Might as well give it to you while you're here.
Misumi	Thank you, Yuki! Here, I'll give you one too.
Yuki	Wow, the details on this thing are so pointless... Hold on, isn't this octopus teabag a pretty expensive one?
Misumi	I bought it at a store that Arisu recommended.
Yuki	No wonder...
Tsumugi	It should be fine if you have this much.
Misumi	Yeah! Thank you for your cooperation, everyone~!
	—Room 203 (Night)—
	This one's a rabbit-shaped, and this one's a goosefish... A bear... A coelacanth...
Kumon	Woah! They all look so detailed!
Misumi	It's not here~...
Kumon	Eh?
Misumi	There's no triangular teabag~.
Kumon	Ah! Now that you said it...!
Misumi	Oh right, I forgot to write down on the whiteboard that I wanted a triangle one~.
	I messed up~...
Kumon	Let's try asking everyone for it again! Say that you want a triangle this time.
Misumi	...I'm gonna go take a breather for a bit~.
Kumon	Sumi-san...
	—Balcony—
Misumi	So sad~...
Homare	Misumi-kun!
Misumi	Arisu...?
Homare	Thank goodness you are here. I want to give you something.
Misumi	What is it...?
Homare	Hm, it's a box of teabag.
	I received a similar item that I bought yesterday from a fan of mine, so I was thinking of giving you the one I purchased.
Misumi	...Thank you, Arisu.
Homare	Try open it. I'm sure you'll be cheered up.
Misumi	...?
	...Ah.
	AH!!! This! It's the triangular teabag!
Homare	Fufu, they're quite particular about the ratio of triangle to maximize the taste and aroma of this tea-.
Misumi	Yayy~!
	Thank you, Arisu! It's exactly what I wanted!
Homare	I'm glad you're all happy now.
	Though the day has almost come to an end, how about I brew a cup of tea for you? I'm sure it will taste wonderful for tonight.
Misumi	Yeah! Please do!
