Izumi	Oh, that's a good bargain! This one isn't so much… Hmm, seems like fish are cheaper in the shopping district…
Citron	Director, checking flyers?
Itaru	The way it looks, she hasn't decided on what to make for dinner yet. If we request something now, maybe it'll get through to her.
Tenma	Which means there's a possibility we can avoid curry, and make her go for our favorite meals.
Citron	I have to make a presentation! The time to take action is now!
Omi	Hmm… I think that's impossible.
Itaru	Is that so? Why?
Kazunari	Here here heeere! Director-chan! I want to eat an avocado and salmon bowl!
Citron	The pancake they showed on TV the other day looked delicious!
Azami	It's hot today, so somen sounds good.
Tenma	After all is said and done we need some meat to build or stamina.
Izumi	Hmm, I think meat would be good, but I heard that somen has lots of carbohydrates, so considering I need to use ingredients that have high levels of protein--.
Itaru	Ah~, I see… we're still doing the bodybuilding menu… indeed trying to request stuff is a hard difficulty task.
Izumi	…hm? Woah, this store has such cheap vegetables! And the chicken meat is on sale too!
	Ah, but it's a little far from here… anyone wants to come with me?
Tenma	I have shooting soon. Igawa is supposed to pick me up any moment.
Kazunari	Sowwy, I also have plans~. I'll definitely come with you next time!
Citron	My pancake request didn’t get through… I'm out of energies now…
Itaru	My hands are full with saving the world…
Azami	Which means you just want to play games.
Omi	I'll come with you. I think I know where it is too.
Izumi	Really? Thanks, Omi-kun!
Omi	Let's go then.
	If you keep going straight in this street you'll reach the supermarket.
Izumi	Wait, this place… isn't it close to the bathhouse we helped to the other day?
Omi	Yeah, you're right. Since we're here, how about we go see how they're doing?
	It's so lively here. There're many customers too.
Izumi	Looks like business is thriving! That's great!
Bathhouse Keeper	We're out of soap!? Sure sure! I'll get more now--.
	Ah, you need change? Wait a moment, right away--.
Omi	But looks like they're very busy…
Izumi	The bathhouse keeper is being rushed off his feet…
	Looks like they don't have enough helping hands… Should we ask if there's something we can help with?
Omi	Sure.
Izumi	Phew, seems like things have calmed down a bit.
Omi	We can rest now.
Bathhouse Keeper	I don't know how to thank you! Our part-timer took today off, you see. We didn't have enough working hands, it was such a mess…
Izumi	I'm happy to see business is thriving.
Bathhouse Keeper	Well, that's thanks to you!
	But… the truth is there's something troubling me…
Omi	Troubling?
Bathhouse Keeper	We have lots of male customers, but female customers hardly come here. Well, comparing to the times we were struggling financially, it's rich people's troubles.
Izumi	I see…
	(But I felt it too while helping here…)
Bathhouse Keeper	We have been testing some things through trial and error in order to make more female customers come here.
Omi	An idea that would make more female customers come…
Bathhouse Keeper	I feel extremely bad for always relying on you. Would you tell me if you come with an idea?
Izumi	Understood. We'll try to think about something.

Misumi	Thanks for the food~!
Homare	Dinner was delicious today as well. Especially the marinated carrots, they were so wonderful my inspiration was touched.
Omi	I'm happy you liked them.
Misumi	Hm~? Omi, you making sweets again~?
Homare	The banana cake that was served for dinner wasn't the dessert?
Omi	It was, this one is for Director.
Misumi	For Director?
Izumi	Omi-kun, I'm done~.
Omi	I've just finished myself too.
Izumi	Then I'll start the tasting!
Omi	First up is this. A citrus sorbet.
Izumi	Woah, it smells great! It looks cold and refreshing too.
Omi	Next is a jelly. This one is apple flavor, and this one is coffee flavor. The coffee one is supposed to be for adults.
	And then we have panna cota. It feels smooth in your mouth so I think it's easy to eat, how about it?
Izumi	Hmm~, they're all so delicious…!
Juza	…! Desserts?
Yuki	These are not for you.
Taichi	Unfortunately, there's no point if men eat them~.
Juza	?
Sakuya	In order to make more female customers come to that bathhouse we helped to the other day--.
	We’re trying after-bath sweets.
Hisoka	Director is in charge of food sampling.
Juza	Is that so… can't be helped then… sis.
Izumi	(Juza-kun is not giving up…!)
Omi	Don't worry, I made enough for everyone.
Juza	!
Taichi	For real!? That's our Omi-kun!
Yuki	You really are a mom.
Sakuya	Woah, I'm so happy! Thank you so much!
Izumi	I do feel bad for hogging Omi-kun's sweets all by myself.
	But in any case, every single one of them is really good…
	Being able to eat such sweets after taking a bath is true bliss.
Omi	Haha, thank you.
	I'm also happy I could see Director's happy face. So much that I feel like making them for you every day.
Izumi	Omi-kun, the chicken salad is ready.
Omi	Thank you. This pasta will be ready any moment too. And the chiffon cake is ready as well.
	Speaking of which, it's been a while since I brought the sample sweets to the bathhouse… I wonder if they're doing well.
Kazunari	You talking about the bathhouse sweets? Seems like they're crazy popular!
Izumi	Really!?
Banri	Yeah. Guys from my department are going there too apparently. It's becoming quite the talk in our uni.
Omi	I see, I'm happy to hear that then.
Kazunari	On top of that, about the popularity. There're the sweets Omimi came up with of course but…
Banri	Guess you can call that synergy.
Izumi	Synergy?
Omi	What are you talking about?
Kazunari	Hm~ it's a bit tough to explain, you should just see for yourself!
Banri	How about you go there and check on them?
Izumi	???

Izumi	Hello…
Female Customer A	It's my first time in a bathhouse.
Female Customer B	Mine too! I'm looking forward to getting into a wide bath~.
Female Customer C	Woah, this jelly is so good! More than I expected!
Female Customer D	I know right? I might actually start coming here regularly!
Izumi	There're considerably more female customers than before…!
Omi	Seems like it's thanks to the sweets too.
Izumi	Yeah, we did it!
CHOICE 1: Our sweets plan is a success! [+] Our after-bath sweets plan is a success! It's thanks to you Omi-kun, for coming up with so many sweets. Omi No, I didn't do anything unusual. I had fun making the sweets too after all. I should be thanking you Director, for giving your opinions about the sweets. It was very helpful. Izumi I simply had the perk of eating Omi-kun's yummy sweets. Omi If I come up with more sweets, I'll try to suggest it again. When that happens, can I ask you to give your opinions again? Izumi Of course! I'm looking forward to it.
CHOICE 2: As expected from Omi-kun's sweets! [+] As expected from Omi-kun's sweets! You totally captured the hearts of the customers. Omi Haha, I'm honored to hear that. By the way… what about your heart? Izumi Eh? Omi Was I able to capture your heart too? Izumi But of course! Omi I'm glad to hear. I'll make sweets for you anytime.
Interviewer	Ah, excuse me! You two over there!
Izumi	Is he talking about us?
Interviewer	Hello, I'm from Veludo TV! May I ask for an interview?
Omi	That's amazing, there're even interviewers covering it.
Izumi	It's really becoming a hot topic!
Interviewer	This bathhouse is very popular recently, did you two also become a couple after meeting here?
Omi	Eh?
Izumi	A couple…!?
Bathhouse Keeper	Ohh you two! I just thought about giving you a call!
	What can I say, thanks to your idea, the number of female customers has increased.
	Once the place became popular with both men and women, seems like they got to see a glimpse of the natural look of each other after coming out of the bath--.
	And the place started to gain popularity as a place where couples are born!
Izumi	Eeeh!?
Omi	So that was the meaning of synergy…
Bathhouse Keeper	I'm so grateful. I can't thank you two enough.
Izumi	Not at all, I'm happy we could be useful.
Bathhouse Keeper	Ah, and another thing! That's a new product I'm thinking of making.
Omi	This is…
Izumi	"Success in Love", "Success in Marriage" bathhouse luck charms merchandise…
Omi	Your commercial spirit is very bold…
