ManagerThen without further ado, I will announce the result of the voting...
A has 13 votes, B has 13 votes too!
It’s a draw!
KumonEh!?
TaichiReally!?
KazunariBut A is definitely better!
CitronNo, no! It’s definitely B!
ItaruI think A is better.
TasukuB’s better isn’t it.
YukiA seems to be better.
TaichiIt’s B! B should be the correct choice!
DirectorI didn’t expect this to be a draw. What to do...
OmiIt’s a bit of a problem...
Tsumugi... Eh?
Anyway, where’s Chikage-san and Banri-kun?
MukuAh, you’re right. They are not here.
AzamiThey were just here earlier, right?
TsuzuruAh, if it’s those two, most probably...
*Shifts to Road*
Banri... I managed to slip away, but I wonder if it’s alright.
ChikageIt’s not a good idea to break the atmosphere isn’t it.
BanriWell, if it continues that way, we won’t be able to make it for the ‘escape game’[1], I guess there’s no other choice.
This ‘escape game’ is one that I’m really interested in.
Anyway, that voting before, what did you choose, Chikage-san.
ChikageI feel that both are fine... But I choose A.
BanriReally, me too.
ChikageHaha, so we chose the same thing.
Then, where are we going now?
BanriToday’s ‘escape game’ is a little bit different from the usual one.
... Look, this is the game’s website.
ChikageEh, this place...
*Shifts to Shrine*
As I thought, it’s here.
I helped out here during the moon-viewing party before.
BanriAh, that one.
If I remember correctly, I heard that you also danced for the offering ceremony.
ChikageYou’re right.
PriestOh, you are...
ChikageGood afternoon, long time no see.
PriestIt’s been a while.
Thank you so much for your help during the moon-viewing party.
ChikageYou’re welcome.
... So, this shrine also holds an ‘escape game’.
PriestYou came to participate in the ‘escape game’ is it.
Thank you so much.
I’m doing this so that everyone can feel the friendliness of the shrine, in order for everyone to be more interested in this shrine.
We believe for the rabbits to be the divine messenger, there are a lot of rabbit paintings and decorations around, and people mostly visit during the moon-viewing season–.
That’s why, we’re trying to do a special event for end of year.
But during new year, people tend to visit other shrines and temples instead... To be honest, I’m having quite a hard time.
BanriIt’s a real issue for the temple huh...
ChikageTrue that.
Priest... Anyway, what’s your theatre company planning to do at the end of the year?
ChikageNew year huh?
Most probably it’s going to be the same as usual, end of year party and...
BanriThat right?
The annual Kakushigei[2] tournament.
PriestA Kakushigei tournament huh... I see.
If that’s the case...

  2. I’m keeping it as Kakushigei throughout the story as it cannot be translated.
