Misumi	Good afternoon, Mr. cat!
Cat A	Meow~.
Misumi	Yep, it’s cold~, it seems like it’ll snow soon, right?
Cat B	Meow, meooow.
Misumi	Mhmm, at times like this, you want to eat a warm triangle~.
Cat C	Meooow…
Misumi	…I see~.
	Cats don’t like the cold, huh?
	Aha!
	That’s it, I have a great idea!
Cat A	Meow~?
Misumi	Wait a bit, ‘kay!
	Ummm, I wonder if they’ll be in the storage room~.
Muku	Hello, Misumi-san!
Kumon	Where are you going in such a hurry~?
Misumi	Ah, Muku, Kumon!
	Um, you see, the storage room!
Muku	Are you looking for something?
Misumi	Well you see, the kitty cats seem cold so I thought I’d make a house for them.
	I thought there might be some good materials or tools and stuff~, so I’m on my way there to search!
Muku	Wahh, that’s great!
	I’ll help you make the house for the kitties too!
Kumon	That sounds fun!
	I’ll help too!
Misumi	Thanks, you two~!
	Heave-ho—!
Kumon	It’s a relief there were lots of different materials!
Muku	Right, I think we can make a sturdy house with these!
Misumi	Then let’s start building right away~!
Muku	What kind of house should we make?
Kumon	Of course I wanna make something cool!
Misumi	I’ll attach a triangle roof~!
Muku	I hope we make a big house so a whole bunch of cats will be able to come!
Kumon	Let’s do that!
	Alriiight! Let’s make a huge one!
Misumi	And then, I wanna install a triangle window so they can see outside too!
Muku	That sounds great!
	Then we’ll lay a cloth out on the ground to keep them warm…
Kumon	Somehow, I feel like we'll be able to make something super amazin'!
Misumi	Wait for it, alright, kitty cats~.

Misumi	Put the roof on and… Dooone!
Kumon	Woohoo!
Cat A	Meoow.
Muku	Wahh, the cats came right away!
Misumi	Here, we made this for you guys~!
Cat B	Meow?
Misumi	Of course you can go in~.
	You won’t be cold anymore with this, right!
Cat C	Meooow!
Muku	Wahh…!
	The cats went in already!
Kumon	How is it?
Cat A	Meow.
Misumi	He said, “thank you”!
Kumon	Hehe, then all our hard work was worth it!
Muku	Yeah!
	The kitties look really warm too.
	Oh! Let’s take a picture of this house and send it to Kazu-kun.
Kumon	Yeah, I mean it turned out super nice, right!
	I’ll send a pic to nii-chan too!
	And then I’ll also send one to Shift and brag about it!
Muku	Does Misumi-san want a picture?
Kumon	Oh yeah! What if Sumi-san sends a picture to Madoka-san?
Misumi	Yeah!
	I’ll send one to Madoka too!
Muku	I’m sure he’ll be happy.
Misumi	…Um, that’s what I thought but come to think of it, I don’t know Madoka’s contact information!
Muku	EHHH!?
Kumon	Then should I ask for it through Shift?
Misumi	Nope, it’s fine!
	I’ll bring Madoka over!
	‘Kay, I’m off—!
	*runs off*
Muku	He's gone already…
Kumon	Is Sumi-san really gonna bring Madoka-san?
Muku	I wonder…
	But if he does come, it’d be better to prepare some snacks, right?
Kumon	That’s true! Let’s do that!
	There should be some sweets in the kitchen!
	*leaves*
Hisoka	…
	…It’s a house.
Misumi	Madoka, hurry, hurry~!
Madoka	Nii-san, you don’t have to pull so hard…!
Misumi	Over here! It’s in the courtyard~!
Madoka	What do you want to show me?
Misumi	Come on, look!
Madoka	…A house?
Misumi	Muku and Kumon—the three of us made this house for the kitty cats~!
Madoka	Oh, it’s amazing.
	So you made such a great one yourselves.
Misumi	Yep!
	There’s already cats inside too~.
Madoka	Is that so?
	…Huh?
Cat A	Meoow.
Hisoka	*Zzzzzz*.
Cat B	Meow?
Madoka	…Is this a cat?
Misumi	Huh~?
	Hisoka’s sleeping!
Hisoka	It’s warm with the cats. It’s a nice house…
	*Zzz, zzz*…
Misumi	Both Hisoka and the cats look like they like it!
	I’m glad we made this house~!
