Muku	Like this...
	...I did it! I finished making the cat doll!
Omi	Oh, it's cute. You've gotten pretty good at making wool felt dolls, too.
Muku	It's all thanks to your teaching skills, Omi-san. And I still have a long way to go...
	I want to get even better like Omi-san and Yuki-kun.
Omi	Haha, I'm also not quite there yet. But, you want to get even better, huh...
	Right, there's a handicraft café where you can have fun and improve your skills at the same time, are you interested?
Muku	Wow, a handicraft café?! That sounds really fun!
Omi	They've got some stuff that you can make together too, so why don't you invite the Summer Troupe and ask them to go with you?
Muku	With the Summer Troupe... Ah, that reminds me.
	I was told to think about where I wanted to go with everyone since it will be my birthday soon.
	I've decided where I want to go with everyone! Thank you, Omi-san.
Omi	Haha, then I'm glad. Make sure to have fun.
Muku	Yes!
	I also have to think about my wish...
Omi	Wish?
Muku	A wish I'd like to make to the "Hello Celestial Sphere".
Omi	"Hello Celestial Sphere"...what's that?
Muku	It's one of the Seven Mysteries item that Kazu-kun and Misumi-san found in the storage room.
	It is said that if you make a wish to your star sign on your birthday month, it will come true for one day.
Omi	Heh, so something like that exists.
Muku	Apparently, the first generation used it as a party prop, so we decided to use it at our birthday parties as well.
	Everyone from the Summer Troupe has used it, and it's becoming a tradition.
	...Wait, didn't Banri-san tell you that? The leaders of each troupe seemed to know about it...
Omi	No, I haven't heard about it. Well, I think Banri will talk to us about it when the time comes.
	Hello Celestial Sphere, huh... I hope you can come up with something good to wish for, too.
Muku	Yes!
	Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule today, everyone.
Kazunari	That's a no-brainer~! It's our favorite Mukkun's birthday celebration, after all!
Kumon	Let's celebrate with everyone today!
Izumi	But is it okay for me to come as well?
Muku	Of course! I'd be happy if Director-san would come with us.
Yuki	So, where do you want to go?
Muku	Ehehe, that's a surprise for when we get there. Well then, let's go!

Tenma	Heh, so it's a handicraft café.
Yuki	The inside is cute, too.
Kumon	Awesome! You can make dolls and stuff here!
Misumi	Looks fun!
Izumi	Ah, I've been here before with Omi-kun...!
Muku	That's right. Omi-san actually told me about this place.
	I heard that there's a place where you can improve your handicraft skills while having fun, so I wanted to come with the Summer Troupe.
Kazunari	It's called a café, so they also have tea and cakes.
Tenma	Before we make something, why don't we order first? Here's the menu.
Misumi	Yep! Let's celebrate your birthday first!
Kumon	That's right!
Muku	Everyone...thank you!
Kazunari	Everything we ordered is here! Alright, then...
	Mukkun, happy birthday!
Summer Troupe	Happy birthday!!
Muku	Thank you! Ehehe, I'm so happy...
	I really love acting, playing, and spending time with everyone like this.
	I'm really grateful for everything. This time too, I'll be in your care.
Misumi	I love it too~!
Kumon	And I really love love love it too!!
Tenma	Likewise, I'll be in your care as well.
Izumi	(As I thought, the Summer Troupe are really good friends. Muku-kun looks very happy, too.)
Kazunari	Well, now that we've finished the cake, let's try making a wool felt doll!
Yuki	Do you have an idea of what you want to make?
Muku	I was wondering if we could all make something together.
Misumi	Wah, that sounds good~!
Kazunari	Ah, should we make a rival for William then? The rivals are the six Summer Troupe members!
Kumon	Should we make them fight over William's lover, Mary?!
Muku	Ehh! William and Mary had a happy ending at the puppet show last time, but rivals...
	But I guess difficulties come with love between two people...
	Strong and attractive rivals appear in front of William, and they become friends afterwards...
Tenma	The story is getting more and more complicated.
Izumi	Haha, but that story sounds wonderful.
Yuki	Well, whether it's William's rivals or not, it's a good idea to get the sizes and make dolls together.
Kumon	Yeah! Alright, I'll do my best~!
Misumi	Yeah!
Employee	You can choose your own kit here. If you are familiar with it, you can of course arrange it as well.
Tenma	I wonder which one I should choose.
Kazunari	I prick this side and...
Muku	Like this, I guess...
Kumon	This is really hard!
Misumi	Yuki, what should I do here~?
Yuki	Like this. Then, this side...
Izumi	(Everyone seems to be struggling a bit, but they look like they're having fun making it.)
Misumi	It's finished!
Tenma	Alright, I'm done as well.
Kazunari	Good work! Everyone seems to be done!
Izumi	Wow, it's all so cute! So you guys each made an animal doll.
Kumon	It was hard, but I had fun~!
Muku	Yeah! I really had fun too.
Yuki	They're all from the same set, so they're matching, too. It's not bad.
Kazunari	So adorbs! When you put them together like this, they all have their own characteristics!
Muku	Fufu, you're right.
CHOICE 1: Muku-kun's rabbit is really cute. [+] Izumi Muku-kun's rabbit is really cute. You're good at this. Muku Really? Ehehe...thank you very much. Yuki Yeah. I think it's thoroughly well done. Misumi It's fluffy, soft and cuddly, kind of like Muku~ Kumon I think so too! Tenma You're right, they kinda look similar. Kazunari The healing atmosphere is exactly the same! Izumi That's true. Muku I-Is that so? I'm a bit embarrassed but...I'm happy.
CHOICE 2: I made this for you. [+] Izumi I made this for you. Muku Ah, a cake! Wow, it's really cute...! Izumi There was a sweets kit so I picked that one. I thought it would be perfect for your birthday. Kazunari That's right! Let's line up everyone's animals with Director-chan's cake in the middle~ Muku Wow...! Misumi It looks like all the animals are celebrating Muku's birthday together~! Kazunari I know! It's so freaking adorbs! I'm gonna take a pic and upload it on the blog! Captured! Muku I'm so happy. I want to print out that picture and hang it in my room. Kazunari Sounds good! Then, I'll put a Happy Birthday text in there later! I'll send it to everyone!
Kazunari	When we get back to the dorm, we should line up and take a picture with William, too!
	By the way, I was thinking this while making it, but wouldn't it be more interesting if we make all 24 troupe members as William's rivals?!
Kumon	A 24-angle relationship?!
Izumi	So including William, it'll be 25...?
Tenma	That's too many!
Muku	Wow...! That sounds like the shoujo manga I'm reading right now!
Yuki	The 24-angle relationship part?
Muku	Yeah! There are a lot of boys fighting over just one girl.
	The boys are all so cool with their own personalities, and it's unpredictable who the main girl will choose...!
Misumi	Is that so~?
Muku	It would be absolutely wonderful if everyone in the company could recreate that manga and have everyone become the heroes of a shoujo manga...
Yuki	There are people who are unlikely to date, though.
Kumon	Ah! Speaking of which, have you decided what your wish to the celestial sphere will be?
Muku	Celestial sphere...
	Okay, I just decided what my wish will be!
Yuki	Ugh, I have a feeling I know what it is.
Misumi	What are you doing~?
Muku	Umm...
Tenma	So you brought the celestial sphere.
Kazunari	Ahh! Kumopi also brought it with him before. As expected of the cousins!
Izumi	Then, go ahead and make your wish, Muku.
Muku	Yes!
	Hello, Virgo-sama...
	I wish for everyone in the company to recreate the shoujo manga called "Love, Honey Concerto!"!

Muku	Mmm...
	(Huh...? What is it, I feel like I'm being stared at...)
Kazunari	Good morning, Mukumi. I'm so happy to see your face first thing in the morning.
	Your sleeping face was so cute today☆
Muku	...Ka-Kazu-kun?
Kazunari	What's wrong? I mean, even your pouting face is so cute...*sigh*, you're really sinning, Mukumi.
Muku	(Is Mukumi supposed to be me...?)
	(It's true that I wished for everyone to recreate the manga, but this is like...)
Kazunari	Come on, it's time for breakfast. Let's go, my sweet roommate☆
Muku	Y-yeah.
	Good morning.
Yuki	Good morning, Mukumi. Did you sleep well?
Misumi	*sigh*, geez. Aren't you too cute in the morning, honey?
Tenma	Then, let's begin the morning appeal time to Mukumi.
Muku	Appeal time?!
Misumi	Let's start from me, then.
	I got you this triangle as a present today. Mixed with my love, for you.
Muku	T-thank you...
Kazunari	You like this better, right, Mukumi? Here you go.
	This sweet and sour citrus...it reminds me of the throbbing and smoking encounter between me and Mukumi in that foreign city.
Muku	U-umm... I think our first encounter was at the hall for the company audition...
Yuki	I saw Mukumi in my dream. I can't believe you went as far as to see me in my dream.
	You. must've. been. lonely☆ You're a really cute one, my angel.
Kumon	It's a beautiful day...the midsummer sun is shining as brightly as you are.
	You're going to make my heart flare up... Fu...it's burning, isn't it?
Tenma	On a day like this, I'd like to take you out to a private beach, just the two of us. Let's dance samba with me in a passionate rhythm, baby.
Muku	(Uwaaa! I'm really the heroine, after all!)
	(This is exactly like what happened in the manga...)
Tenma	Now that the appeal time is over, let's have breakfast. Mukumi, you should sit next to me.
Muku	Eh? Ah, y-yeah—
Banri	Oi, wait a freakin' minute.
Juza	You're the one who should wait.
Muku	B-Banri-san...?! Jucchan, too!
Banri	Mukumi is supposed to be next to me. Right, Mukumi?
Juza	When the heck did you decide that? Come next to me, Mukumi.
Muku	Uwawawa...
Banri	Tch...Mukumi looks troubled. It's probably faster to just ask her.
Juza	Yeah. Mukumi, tell us the answer.
Muku	Huh?! U-um...!
	I-I'm sorry!!
Juza and Banri	Mukumi!
Muku	(I might've made a mistake with my wish...! I should've asked for Director-san to be the heroine...!)
	...Ha!!
	Huh...?
	I-it was...a dream...
	(That felt so realistic. It might've went in a different direction than what I'd wished for, but the celestial sphere really granted my wish...)
Kazunari	Mukkun?
Muku	K-Kazu-kun...
Kazunari	Morning! Why did you jump up like that?
Muku	(Thank goodness, it's the usual Kazu-kun...)
	No, it's nothing. Good morning, Kazu-kun.
