Tsuzuru	…?
	Why’s it so nois—.
Misumi	Tsuzuru, found ya!
Tsuzuru	Uwahh!?
	I-Ikaruga-san? What’s up so suddenly…
Misumi	I came to ask Tsuzuru a favour.
Tsuzuru	A favour?
Misumi	Yeah!
	You see, I want you to write a story about Triangle-kun!
Tsuzuru	Huh?
	What is this all of a sudden—.
Izumi	I-I’m back…
	Misumi-kun, you run fast…
Misumi	Sooorry.
	I hurried over when I thought I that I had to tell Tsuzuru right away.
Izumi	Well, I understand how you feel but…
Tsuzuru	Ummm…
	I don’t get what you guys are talking about; what in the world happened?
Izumi	Ah, that’s right. Sorry, sorry.
	So actually—.
Tsuzuru	Ohh. You're putting on a puppet show at the Veludo City’s Children’s Group meeting…
Izumi	Misumi-kun and I found a recruitment flyer on our way home from shopping.
	When we were talking about how it'd seem fun if he held a show with Triangle-kun, Misumi-kun got super motivated and started running.
Tsuzuru	Haha, somehow I can see that happening.
Misumi	So, Tsuzuru. Will you write a story for me?
Tsuzuru	Sure thing. It also seems like it’ll be good practice for scriptwriting, right?
Misumi	Yaaay! Thank you—!
Izumi	Thanks, Tsuzuru-kun. That helps.
Tsuzuru	Oh, no, it’s also for my sake, so.
	Wait, is there a theme or something?
Izumi	It said the theme has to be “June Bride”.
Tsuzuru	June Bride? Even though it’s for kids?
Izumi	Yeah. It was written on the flyer that since it’s a puppet show being shown in June, they want us to use “June Bride” as the theme.
Tsuzuru	I wonder why…
Yuki	Hey, what were you guys talking about just now?
Izumi	Ah, Yuki-kun, Kazunari-kun.
Kazunari	Sumi and Tsuzurun look like they’re in a totally legit hype mood!
	We wanna join the fun too 𝅘𝅥𝅮
Izumi	Actually—.
Kazunari	A June Bride puppet show with Triangle-kun?
	What’s that! Sounds lit!
	—!
	I felt a chill just now!
Izumi	(Woah, he’s vigorously creating a design…!)
Kazunari	Done! Voilaaa!
	A puppet show exclusive Triangle-kun bridal version!
Misumi	Wahh! He’s so cool!
Kazunari	Hehe, right, right?
	Ah, if June bride is the theme, then we need a partner for Triangle-kun too, right?
	The boy is Triangle-kun, sooo…
	The girl can be Triangle-chan?
Misumi	Triangle-chan…!
Izumi	(Misumi-kun’s eyes are sparkling…)
Yuki	In that case, I’ll make their bridal costumes for you.
Misumi	Yaaaay! Thanks, you two~!
Izumi	Alright, then I’ll go ahead and apply for the puppet show.
Misumi	Yeah! Let’s do our best together!
Tsuzuru	The script is done.
Izumi	Nice work.
	What kind of story is it this time?
Tsuzuru	It’s an adventure tale where Triangle-kun overcomes various hardships and travels to the valley to retreive a flower for Triangle-chan.
	I made the structure simple for the kids, and I tried to finish it off with a wedding at the end.
Izumi	…Yep, as expected of Tsuzuru-kun. The story sounds great!
Tsuzuru	Thanks.
Kazunari	We’re finished here too!
	Triangle-kun and Triangle-chan dolls to use in the puppet show~.
Izumi	Wow, they’re adorable!
Misumi	Thanks~! That's what I expected from Kazu and Yuki!
Yuki	Obviously.
Tsuzuru	Ah, as for the characters, the story basically moves forward with just Triangle-kun and Triangle-chan.
	And then it’d be great if we had someone to do the narration.
	Well, I’ll try to make it work somehow even if there isn’t one though.
Izumi	I see. Triangle-kun will naturally be left to Misumi-kun…
Misumi	Triangle-chan is a girl, so you play her, Director!
Izumi	Ehhh!? Me!?
	B-but I’m awful at acting…?
Misumi	I’ll back you up properly, so it’ll be fine!
Izumi	Ummm… If Misumi-kun is ok with it.
Misumi	Then it’s settled!
	Let's rehearse right away~!

Izumi	(We managed to get ready for the day of the Children’s meeting but…)
	Sorry, Muku-kun. I invited you so suddenly.
Muku	N-not at all! Rather, I was happy you called for me.
	I’ll do my best for the narration today!
Izumi	Yeah, let’s put on a good show together!
Misumi	Alriiight! Then let’s start.
	Muku, I’m counting on you!
Muku	Yes!
	Now then, “Triangle-kun and the Single Flower”! Here we go~!
	“…At long last, Triangle-kun returned home to Triangle-chan with the legendary flower in hand.”
Izumi	(We’ve managed to arrive at the climax… Now just a little more from here.)
Misumi	“Triangle-chan, accept this!”
Izumi	“Aww, it’s a very beautiful flower~ Thank you, Triangle-kun!”
Child A	I’m glad he was able to make the princess happy~!
Child B	But I’m sure this isn’t the end yet!
	Right when he hands the flower to the princess, a rival will appear!
Izumi	(Eh?)
Muku	Ummmm… “T-that’s right!”
Izumi	(!? We don’t have a doll for a rival character though…)
Muku	“An evil shadow creeps up on the happy couple…!”
Misumi	“—He’s appeared! Dark Triangle-kun!”
	“As always, it’s just his voice, huh? How about you finally show your form!”
Izumi	(That’s Misumi-kun for you, he responded with an adlib…!)
Child A	Dark Triangle-kun whose form isn’t visible!?
	He seems super duper strong~!
Muku	“Mwahahaha!
	Triangle-chan will become my bride!”
Izumi	(F-for now, I have to match them, right?)
	“K-kyahhh! Save me, Triangle-kun!”
Misumi	“Wait for me, Triangle-chan! I’ll save you now!”
	“Bring it on, Dark Triangle-kun!
	Triangle Punch!”
Muku	“—And thus, Dark Triangle-kun was defeated and peace returned to the Triangle Country.”
Misumi	“It’s alright now, Triangle-chan!”
Izumi	“Thank you, Triangle-kun!”
	(It’s finally the last scene. According to the script, it’s now Triangle-kun’s proposal—)
Misumi	“From now on as well, I’ll protect you, Triangle-chan.”
	“—That why, please always stay smiling by my side.”
Izumi	—.
	… “T-Thank you, Triangle-kun. I’m happy…!”
	(T-that surprised me…)
	(That line was different from the script, and Misumi-kun was staring at me so my heart kind of skipped a beat…)
Muku	“And so, Triangle-kun and Triangle-chan lived happily ever after. Hooray, hooray.”
Child A	That was so fun!
Child B	Yeah, it was really exciting—!
Izumi	(I wondered how it would turn out at one point, but I’m glad everyone looks like they enjoyed it…)
Muku	—I’m so sorry for earlier!
	I got caught up in the child’s reaction and accidentally changed the narration…
Izumi	Don’t worry about it.
	Muku-kun, you were trying to live up to the childrens’ expectations, right?
Misumi	Right, right!
	I had fun, so there’s no need to worry~!
CHOICE 1: You responded with an adlib right away. [+] Izumi You responded with an adlib right away. As I thought, Misumi-kun really is amazing. Misumi Ehehe, thanks~ But Director-san’s adlib was good too. Izumi Really? It’s definitely thanks to Misumi-kun accompanying me for practice.
CHOICE 2: You really looked like you were having fun. [+] Izumi You really looked like you were having fun, Misumi-kun. Misumi Yeah! Since Triangle-kun was a huge hit! Izumi Ahaha, that’s true, Triangle-kun when he fought was really cool, right?
Misumi	Next time, not a puppet show, I want become Triangle-kun and hold a play~.
	I’m sure it’ll be even more fun and all the kids will be happy~!
Muku	Misumi-san will become Triangle-kun…?
Izumi	Umm… I guess Misumi-kun will act while wearing a Triangle-kun suit?
Misumi	Yeah!
	Al~right, I gotta get home quickly and ask Tsuzuru, Kazu and Yuki about it!
	*leaves*
Izumi	Eh, Misumi-kun!?
	(And he’s gone in the blink of an eye…!
	I’m getting major déjà vu…!)
	F-for now, let’s chase him, Muku-kun!
Muku	Y-yes!
	Please wait for us, Misumi-sa~n!
