Izumi	I guess this is everything I need. Thanks for lending me a hand, Muku-kun.
Muku	No problem, you can ask me to help you anytime.
Izumi	Come to think of it, the raffle tickets I received earlier can be redeemed over there, huh. Let’s do that next.
Muku	Ok!
	[At the raffle booth]
Muku	There seems to be various types of prizes.
Izumi	You’re right. The grand prize is…pair tickets for the amusement park.
Muku	The amusement park…!!
Izumi	We have two tickets, so let’s take one each.
Izumi	Alright, here you go, Muku-kun.
Muku	O-ok!
Muku	Su—…Wa—…
Muku	Alright.
Raffle Clerk	How unfortunate~ You get a participation prize.
Muku	Uuu…. a pocket tissue…
Izumi	I-it’s fine! We still have one more left!
Muku	But that’s Director-san’s ticket…
Izumi	I’m fine. Take it, Muku-kun.
Muku	Thank you very much!
Muku	Alright, this time for sure…!
Muku	It’s gold…
Raffle Clerk	Congratulations!! You spectacularly got first place!!!
Izumi	You did it, Muku-kun!
Muku	Director-san…!
Raffle Clerk	Here you are. The first place prize, pair tickets for the amusement park!
Muku	Thank you very much!
Izumi	(Muku-kun looks really happy…)
Muku	Um-
Muku	Director-san, would you like to go to the amusement park together?
Izumi	I couldn’t do that. This is such a rare opportunity, so you should take a friend with you.
Muku	No! It was Director-san’s raffle ticket that won the grand prize!
Muku	Also, um… I would like to hang out with Director-san, so.
Muku	Do you not want to…?
Izumi	…Well then, since this is a rare opportunity, I’ll take you up on that offer.
Muku	Yes!
	[Mankai Dormitory]
Muku	Finally, tomorrow is the day I get to go to the amusement park with Director-san…
	(Starts pacing around his room)
Muku	I should go over the amusement park date scene in “I’ll Also Love You Tomorrow!” one more time!
Muku	First, we’ll look at the amusement park’s map together…
Muku	After riding all of the ride’s Director-san wants to go on and walking around a lot, she’ll definitely be really tired, so I should be considerate.
Muku	And then…since it’ll be an amusement park date, w-we can even hold hands while walking…! Uwah—…!
Kazunari	You say something, Mukkun~?
Muku	Ah, no no! Just talking to myself!
Muku	I’m sorry for being so loud.
Kazunari	It’s ok-sies.
Kazunari	Anyways, you’re going out with Director-chan tomorrow, huh Mukkun? Lucky~!
Muku	Eheheh.
Muku	But I’m a rain boy, so I’m worried about whether the sky will be clear or not…
Kazunari	It’ll be fine! Didn’t the weather forecast say that it’ll be sparkly with clear skies tomorrow?
Muku	But but, what if rain clouds appear all of a sudden and start a downpour, and then lightning strikes bringing a huge dragon-like tornado with it…
Muku	A-and then Director-san gets carried away by that huge dragon tornado…!!!
Kazunari	Ahahaha, your imagination is in full swing today as well, Mukkun!
Kazunari	If you’re that worried, then how about I go instead~?
Muku	Eh!! Y-you can’t!!
Kazunari	Kidding kidding, it was a jo—ke!
Kazunari	Oh right! How about making teru teru bouzu together?
Muku	Teru teru bouzu?
Kazunari	Yes yes! If we make teru teru bouzu using my super pro design skills, then the weather will def be hella clear tomorrow, right!?
Muku	As expected of Kazu-kun…!
Muku	Yeah, let’s make some!
Kazunari	Yippee! Okie, lemme grab some paper real quick~—
Muku	(Since I’m getting help from Kazu-kun, I’m sure the weather will be clear.)
Muku	(I must properly escort Director-san tomorrow…!

Izumi	I'm glad the weather is clear today!
Muku	Me too!
Muku	(I’m really glad that it’s not raining. I’m sure it’s because of the teru teru bouzu I made with Kazu-kun!)
Muku	Alright Director-san, what would you like to ride first?
Izumi	We can go on whatever ride you want, Muku-kun.
Muku	No, ladies first!
Muku	(Even in shoujo manga, they usually listen to the girl's request first.)
Izumi	Are you sure? Then… let’s go check out the haunted house.
Muku	T-the haunted house?
Izumi	Yeah. I see this haunted house on TV pretty often, so I’ve wanted to try going through it at least once.
Muku	I-I see.
Izumi	Ah, do you not like scary things, Muku-kun? Then let’s…
Muku	I-It’s ok! I don’t find things like ghosts scary at all!
Izumi	Really? I’m the type who likes seeing those things, even though I know it’s scary.
Muku	I-I can relate! I’m also the type who does that! L-L-Let’s go!
	[At the haunted house]]
Izumi	Wow, even just the exterior gives off a really intense vibe…
Muku	Uhg…. Y-You’re right. It’s fairly creepy…
Staff	Welcome, party of two? Fufufu, please enjoy your time in there…
Izumi	Alright, let’s go, Muku-kun.
Muku	O, k.
Muku	It’s, really dark, in here.
Izumi	Make sure to watch your step.
Muku	...
Izumi	—Huh, Muku-kun? Where are you?
Muku	Ah, I’m over here—
Muku	Huh, Director-san? Where are you…
Ghost	UWAAAAAAAA!!!!
Muku	Uwa———!!!! T-There it is———!!!!
Izumi	Kyaaaaa———!!!
	[Runs out]
Izumi	Pant, pant…pant…... T-That was so scary… Scarier than I was expecting…!
Muku	Pant— pant—
Izumi	Muku-kun, are you alright?
Muku	Y…es, I’…m fin…e.
Muku	(I was so scared that I couldn’t even see where I was going…)
Female Visitor	Damn, that was hella scary~! I’m so glad you were with me, Yuu-kun~
Male Visitor	Good grief, the only one that was scared was you. This much isn’t enough to scare me.
Female Visitor	That’s my Yuu-kun—! So cool!
Muku	...!
Muku	(That’s exactly the same as what I read in my shoujo manga yesterday…! I have to be like that too…)
Muku	(Alright, this time for sure…!)
Muku	D-Director-san! Where should we go next!
Izumi	Let’s see… we should ride that one next, it’s a classic!
Muku	That...?
Muku	(Don’t tell me, the ride that Director-san is pointing at is…)
Izumi	The jet coaster! It’s exactly what comes to mind when you think of an amusement park.
Muku	(I-I knew it…!)
Visitor	Kyaaaaa——!!!
Muku	(The screams coming from there are really loud…)
Muku	(No, I can handle this much, it’s not scary, you’re not scared, Muku!!)
Izumi	Could it be that you don’t like rides that involve screaming? Then we can—
Muku	I-I like them!
Muku	Alright, let’s go, Director-san!
	[Rollercoaster Line]
Izumi	There’s quite a line. Well, it’s a really popular ride, so it can’t be helped I guess.
Muku	.....
Izumi	This is just like the haunted house, I know it’s going to be scary, but I can’t help wanting to ride it.
Muku	(I’ll make sure to show my cool side just like how the male lead show’s his cool side to the female lead during the jet coaster scene in my manga.)
Muku	(While the coaster is going up, I’ll hold the scared Director-san’s hand and tell her that “It’ll be fine, since I’m here”…)
Muku	(…Alright, let’s do this!)
Izumi	It seems like it’s our turn next.
Muku	Ok, let’s go…!

Izumi	Ah~ That was scary. But it was so fun.
Muku	.....
Izumi	…..Muku-kun!? Your face is really pale, are you alright!?
Muku	I-I’m, fine.
Izumi	…Sure enough, you weren’t ok with riding the jet coaster, were you? I’m sorry for not noticing.
Muku	N-no! I’m alright, really…
Muku	(I was so scared that I couldn’t say anything to Director-san, let alone scream…I’m so pathetic…)
Izumi	Let’s take a break. I’m pretty sure there’s a cafe around here.
Muku	Ok.
Muku	(Ah…! Right, when it comes to a date, you have to hold hands!)
Izumi	Ah, look, Muku-kun! This coffee cup is so colorful and cute.
Muku	Y-yes! You’re right!
Muku	(What do I do, I can’t reach my hand out…! I need to be brave! You can do it…Muku…!)
Muku	(Gently, gentlyyy grab Director-san’s…hand—)
Muku	I can’t do it——!
Izumi	Sorry, do you not like the coffee cup?
Muku	Ah, no that's not what I meant…! I-It’s nothing!
Muku	(I managed to barely touch fingers, but ended up pulling back… I really can’t pull it off like they do in the manga…)
	[Later]
Izumi	Alright, I feel energized now that we’ve rested for a bit, what should we ride next?
Muku	Looking at the pamphlet, there seems to be a mirror house and a ferris wheel.
Izumi	Alright, next let’s—
CHOICE 1: The Ferris Wheel! [+] Izumi Let’s go on the ferris wheel. We could even see Mankai company from that high up. Muku The ferris wheel…! Muku (Speaking of the ferris wheel, in the manga they sit next to each other and watch the scenery together, and then, and then…!) Muku Wah——!! Director-san and I can’t do that! U-um, I want to go on that!! Izumi W-what’s wrong, Muku-kun? Muku Eh!? Ah, I’m talking about that! Muku (I ended up flustered by my own imagination! So embarrassing…)
CHOICE 2: The Merry-Go-Round [+] Izumi There’s also a merry-go-round. Should we go check it out? Muku I want to go! Merry-go-round’s are so cute! Izumi Yeah. It seems like something you would like, Muku-kun. Muku I haven’t ridden it very much though. Muku It feels like we’re a prince and princess in a fairytale! Izumi Alright then, would you please accompany me, Prince Muku? Muku Y-yes!! Muku Let us go, Princess…!
Izumi	It’s already gotten this late. The sun has already started to set, so we should start going home, huh.
Muku	You’re right… and in just the blink of an eye.
Muku	(*Sigh*, I had fun at the amusement park, but I wasn’t able to do anything that I had planned to do…)
Muku	(Director-san was probably really bored…)
Izumi	Muku-kun, thanks for inviting me to the amusement park with you today.
Muku	No, I should be thanking you!
Izumi	I had so much fun.
Muku	Did you, really…?
Izumi	We went on so many rides, screamed and laughed together, it was really fun and exciting, and a nice change of pace!
Muku	Director-san…
Muku	Me too, I also had a lot of fun today!
Izumi	If Muku-kun also had fun, then I’m glad.
Muku	Um, Director-san! Would you like to come to the amusement park with me again some day?
Izumi	Of course!
Muku	I’ll make sure to work really hard so when that day comes, I’ll be able to properly escort you way better, Director-san!
