Muku	This picture is lovely.
Kazunari	Right, right!
	Lots of colourful pumpkins are lined up~
	The sketchy atmosphere is neat too, right!
Izumi	You two look like you’re having fun, what’s this about?
Muku	Kazu-kun is showing me the insta-genic photos he took all over town.
Kazunari	During Halloween, lotsa different objects are being decorated all over town, so it’s a chance to take more insta-worthy pics than usual~!
	And now this is my friend’s wizard costume!
	I tried to make it look nicer by drawing wands and brooms and stuff on the classroom’s whiteboard too.
Izumi	As expected of Kazunari-kun, it’s intricate…!
	Oh right, it’s about time to prepare for our Halloween party too, huh?
Muku	Since we have the chance, I want to make the decorations in the dorm look instablammable too!
Kazunari	That’d be great, but it’s assignment season right now so I don’t have time to take my time to go out shopping, see~.
	As the decoration captain, I’d love to go ahead and take the lead here but…
Izumi	In that case, I have time after my meeting tomorrow so I’ll go have a look around.
Muku	I have time tomorrow too, so I’ll help out!
Izumi	Alright, how about we meet up and head out after my meeting is over?
Muku	Sure!
Kazunari	Thanks, you two!
	I’ll throw together a list of things we need.
Izumi	(It’s a little past our meet-up time.
	I wonder if Muku-kun is here already.)
Muku	…
Izumi	(—Ah, there he is.)
	Muku-kun, sorry, I’ve kept you waiting.
Muku	Oh, no! I just arrived too…
Izumi	Even though we live together, it’s kind of fresh meeting up outside.
Muku	It’s kind of heart-racing, just like a date.
Izumi	(The way he looks when he’s bashful is so cute.)
	Alright then, first, shall we go shopping for the decorations?

Izumi	We were able to buy a lot, huh~?
Muku	We got most of the items that were requested by Kazu-kun, right?
Izumi	Yeah, thank goodness.
	I guess with this the decorations for our Halloween party will be perfect.
Muku	I’m looking forward to it!
Izumi	We’ve walked a lot, so how about we take a rest somewhere?
Muku	That’s true, if there's a nice shop somewhere…
Izumi	—Huh? Was there always a shop like this here?
Muku	Ah, this is a café that’s interior looks like a school!
	The kids in my class were talking about how it opened recently.
Izumi	Oh, it’s such a hot topic…
	A café with a school motif seems fun,
	So since we’re already here, how about we try going in?
Muku	Yeah!
Izumi	Wow, the interior really looks like a school!
Muku	The special Halloween decorations are cute too…!
Izumi	Amazing, there’s even a blackboard!
	It kind of feels mysterious…!
Muku	Fried bread and milk… The menu is also like a school lunch.
Izumi	Woah, amazing! How nostalgic!
	I really loved the curry that came with my school lunch…
Muku	It looks like their limited Halloween menu is over here.
Izumi	This seems tasty too!
	I wonder if I should go with this pumpkin curry and fried bread set.
Muku	Then I’ll get the soft noodles in meat sauce and pumpkin stew set.
Izumi	Haa, that was delicious.
Muku	The tableware was also fun and school-style.
Staff	Um, sorry to interrupt your meal.
Izumi	?
Staff	Actually, right now we’re running a campaign called, “aim for the ‘blam!”…
	If you use the insta-tag and post a picture, we’re giving luxurious prizes out as rewards.
	If you’d like, please, definitely join in!
Muku	An insta-campaign…
Izumi	If we post it on the Theatre company’s official instablam, our fans might be happy about it too.
Muku	That's true... It's a bit embarrassing, but since we're here, let's try it!

Staff	Please take a photo in front this blackboard here.
	It’s ok to doodle on the blackboard as you’d like as well!
Izumi	Thank you very much.
Muku	An insta-worthy picture… What would be good for that?
Izumi	Ummm… Kazunari-kun seems like he'd know a lot about this…
Muku	…Oh right! Is it ok if I try something out for a second?
Izumi	Ah, yeah!
	(I wonder if Muku-kun came up with something…)
Muku	…Ok, it’s done!
Izumi	It’s a broom and wand! How cute.
Muku	The photo Kazu-kun showed me the other day was really cute, so it came to mind and I tried drawing it.
	I’m nowhere near as good as Kazu-kun though...
Izumi	That’s not true at all!
CHOICE 1: The vibe is there. [+] Izumi It’s true that Kazunari-kun’s really skilled, but Muku-kun’s drawing also really has its own vibe. Muku Is that.. so? Izumi Yes, yes, that friendly touch is just like Muku-kun. As I thought, you're good at drawing too since you’re reading manga all the time, right? Muku Ehehe… Thank you very much.
CHOICE 2: Muku and a wizard… [+] Izumi It’s nice that there’s a gap between you and your vampire costume, but a wizard’s aura seems to fit Muku-kun. You wouldn’t seem out of place if you went to a magical academy! Muku A magic school…! I want to try attending one too. Izumi It was my dream to ride on a broom and fly in the sky when I was little. Muku Director-san would also look cute like a little witch. Izumi Ahaha, thank you.
	Alright, let’s use this drawing and try taking a snazzy photo right away!
Muku	Yes!
Izumi	So then, first, stand around here…
	It’d be good if it looks like you’re riding the broom.
Muku	Something like this…?
Izumi	Yeah, great!
	Can you make it look like your right hand is holding the wand?
Muku	Umm… Around here?
Izumi	A little more to the right.
Muku	This much…?
Izumi	Yeah yeah, it looks great!
	I’ll take it now, ok~.
	*click*
Kazunari	With decorations like this~… Doesn’t it look dope!?
Omi	Haha, it’s nice, right?
Izumi	The mini pumpkin and pinecone wreath is a nice touch!
Kazunari	As expected of Director-chan!
	You know what my fave item is~!
	We gotta make a 'blammable spot in the dorm again this year and take pics like crazy!
Muku	I’m looking forward to it!
Omi	Speaking of photos, that photo of Muku that was posted on the Company’s official instablam looks like it became a hot topic.
Kazunari	Yep yep, it caused a major buzz!
Muku	It’s thanks to the picture that Kazu-kun showed me.
	And also because Director-san took it nicely too.
Izumi	That reminds me, they said the grand prize would receive a luxurious gift but I wonder what happened with that.
Kazunari	Luxurious prize!? What is it, what is it!?
Izumi	Ummm… Come to think of it, I don’t think I heard what the prize was…
	*ding dong*
Muku	Ah, I’ll get it.
	Oh, heavy…
Omi	Are you ok?
Izumi	Thanks, Muku… er, that’s a really big cardboard box.
Kazunari	It’s legit massive!
Izumi	Just who could the sender be?
Muku	Huh? Could this possibly be from the café from before?
Kazunari	Eh? Then the luxurious prize might be inside?
Omi	How about we open it?
Izumi	Y-yeah.
	This is…
Muku	It’s a pumpkin…!
Kazunari	And it’s freakin’ huge!
Omi	A letter’s also enclosed.
	“We send this pumpkin as the grand prize”… Is what it says.
Izumi	I never thought a whole pumpkin would be delivered…
Kazunari	This’ll prob look great if we make it into a jack-o-lantern!
Omi	Thanks to Muku, our Halloween party’s repertoire is growing too, huh?
Muku	Ehehe... I'm also looking forward to Omi-san's cooking!
