Tsuzuru	Scatter some salt and pepper on the tomatoes and the mozzarella, and finally pour some olive oil… and it’s ready.
Izumi	Hm? So you're in charge of cooking today Tsuzuru-kun.
Tsuzuru	Fushimi-san told me he would be back late from work. I gave a shot to the cooking he taught me the other day.
Azami	Looking good.
Taichi	Tsuzuru-kun, it's so yummy!
Omi	I'm home.
Tsuzuru	Ah, welcome back. I've just finished preparing dinner.
Omi	Ohh, you made caprese.
Tsuzuru	I tried to make it just like you taught me. Though I couldn't make it as skillfully as you, Fushimi-san.
Omi	No, it's just perfect.
Tsuzuru	It's good then.
Omi	Sorry for asking you to take over cooking duties today.
Tsuzuru	Not at all, I was able to practice my cooking so it's two birds with one stone, don’t worry about it.
TV	"The holiday season is here! First we have a special report about a motorbike tour around Mount Fuji"
Taichi	Touring huh. It looks so fun~!
Omi	…That brings back memories.
Izumi	Have you been there before, Omi-kun?
Omi	Yeah… just once, a long time ago.
Taichi	Then how about we go there for your birthday, Omi-kun?
Omi	No, I mean it's far and it would take time to get there.
Azami	We don't mind though.
Taichi	That's right! It's your birthday celebration, it's best if we go to someplace you love, Omi-kun!
TV	"Next, we will be introducing a nearby spot you can enjoy in the holidays"
	"It's been gaining popularity recently and even beginners can enjoy it with ease, let us introduce you to bouldering!"
Omi	Then this might be a better option.
Tsuzuru	Bouldering? It's really popular lately.
Omi	I've been busy with work lately so I couldn’t get much exercise. With bouldering you need nothing but your body.
	And it's close to here too.
Taichi	This option looks fun too~!
Izumi	It's also thrilling.
Azami	If Omi-san wanna go there it's cool isn’t it?
Omi	Alright, then it's decided.
Taichi	Awright! Let's us Autumn Troupe and Director throw a grand party for Omi-kun!
Tsuzuru	Let us know later how it was like.
Omi	Sure.
Taichi	Awesome! The wall is covered with rocks!
Omi	It actually looks like a genuine rocky wall…
Juza	…right.
Azami	It's tall too, when you look at it from this close it's kinda intimidating.
Banri	Sakyo-san, careful not to hurt your back.
Sakyo	I don’t need your worries.
Taichi	Alright, I'll show you my cool climbing~!
Izumi	So you have some experience in bouldering, Taichi-kun.
Taichi	I don’t actually!
Azami	So you don’t.
Taichi	I always looked up to it since it's an extrovert kinda sports, but it's the first time I try it myself!
Banri	Can't believe you were so confident about climbing despite that.
Izumi	Ahaha…
Omi	Have you tried it before, Director?
Izumi	I did come here with Kumon-kun the other day…
Juza	I remember that.
Omi	Then we have to take an example from your experience.
Taichi	Roger!
Juza	We’re counting on you.
Izumi	No, it's not like I'm good at it okay!?

Staff	…and that's it for the lecture. Then please try the beginners' course first.
	We're keeping you secured from down here, so climb without worries.
Taichi	Got it!
Banri	Then you go first Director-chan, since you're experienced.
Izumi	No, it's Omi-kun's birthday party, so you should go first Omi-kun!
Sakyo	Some way to make a run for it.
Omi	If Director says so, I'll give it a try.
Taichi	Good luck, Omi-kun!
Omi	Up we go…
Banri	There, hook your leg.
Omi	Like this?
Taichi	Next you should move your right hand right?
Omi	…!
Juza	Next you should use that foothold.
Omi	….
	And finally, grab with both hands--.
Taichi	You reached the goal!
Omi	Phew…
Sakyo	Well done.
Izumi	You were amazing, Omi-kun!
Omi	It was pretty thrilling too, it was fun.
Azami	Who's up next?
Banri	I’ll go.
Juza	No, it's my turn.
Banri	Don't get in my way.
Juza	Who said you can go before me.
Banri	I thought I should show you how to do it.
Juza	No need for that.
Banri	Aaah?
Sakyo	Shut your traps, you brats! You're troubling the other customers.
Taichi	Sakyo-san you're even louder than them!
Azami	It's embarrassing so stop screaming, Shitty Sakyo.
Omi	As expected, it ended up like this.
Izumi	Ahaha…
Taichi	Huh, that was heavy~!
Azami	Shopping this much after bouldering is tough man.
Izumi	Sorry for making you come along.
	But thanks to you I was able to buy a lot, you were a great help.
Omi	As thanks for helping with the shopping, we have to make a luxurious dinner today.
Izumi	I'll help you, Omi-kun.
Omi	Thank you.
Taichi	Ah, speaking of which!
Juza	…that Taichi, where did he run off to?
Sakyo	As always he can't stay in one place.
Taichi	Ta da! Speaking of birthdays, you can't forget about this guy!
Banri	…there it is, the hello celestial sphere.
Izumi	That item that is said to fulfill the wishes of those who make a wish on their birth month.
	Does it really make wishes come true?
Juza	…who knows.
Taichi	Well, leaving that aside!
	Next it's Omi-kun's turn to use it! The celestial sphere will surely make your wish come true.
Izumi	Omi-kun's wish huh…
CHOICE 1: I'm really curious about it. [+] Izumi I'm really curious about it. Omi Right… I'm feeling very fulfilled right now, I can’t think of any wish off the top of my head. Taichi Omi-kun knows no greed! Azami On the other hand you look like you're full of greed Taichi-san.
CHOICE 2: Maybe something related to photography? [+] Izumi Maybe something related to photos? Banri Ahh, wishing for a new camera for example? Omi Hmm… the camera I'm using right now is good enough for me. Sakyo Treasuring your stuff is a good attitude.
Omi	I can't think of something right now, so I'll give it some thought.
Taichi	You have to make a wish on your astrological sign!
Izumi	It’s your once in a year birthday, I hope you can come up with something.
Omi	Yeah.
	Phew… cleaning is more or less done.
	(Before I realized there is no one around, it's pretty quiet)
	…the celestial sphere that makes wishes come true huh.
	….
	Hello, stars of Scorpio--…

Omi	(I don’t have work today, maybe I'll go out to take some photos)
Izumi	Ah, there you are Omi-kun!
Omi	Director?
Izumi	The guys from Autumn Troupe have been looking for you, they're waiting in the car, so hurry up and go.
Omi	In the car…?
Izumi	You’re all going out on a trip today right? Have fun.
Omi	Yeah…
	(I don’t remember making any plans today… but anyway, seems like it's better if I go there like Director says)
Taichi	Mount Fuji is so pretty~!
Azami	The weather is good so we can see it clearly.
Juza	Thanks for driving.
Banri	Good thing we arrived in one piece.
Sakyo	Obviously.
Omi	This is…
Taichi	Omi-kun, you said you wanted to come here, right?
Omi	Eh…?
	(Thinking of which…)
	Hello, stars of Scorpio. Once again, I want to visit that place with the Autumn Troupe--.
	…that's it. It's not a very impressive wish.
	(Is that the effect of the celestial sphere…)
	…thank you, guys.
	Long ago, I came here with Wolf while we were touring with our motorbikes.
	After coming here that one time, I didn’t have any other opportunities to come…
	But after watching that report on TV, I thought that I wanted to see Mount Fuji with you guys too.
	Though I didn’t imagine it would come true so quickly.
Taichi	Then you should've just said so, without holding back!
Sakyo	This distance is nothing, we can get here in no time.
Omi	…you're right.
	But the bouldering was fun too right?
Banri	Well, can't deny that.
Juza	Next time we'll come touring here.
Omi	Yeah, let's do that.
Taichi	Since we came all the way to Mount Fuji, should we climb it!?
Banri	The Sea of Trees sounds like fun.
Sakyo	Do you guys wanna get yourselves into an accident.
Azami	Are you scared? That’s lame.
Sakyo	Who the hell is scared.
Taichi	Then what about cycling?
Juza	Autumn Troupe doing cycling…?
Omi	That doesn’t suit us.
	--!
Taichi	Zzz…
Omi	It was a dream…
	(It was a pretty realistic dream. I can still feel its aftertaste, it's a weird feeling)
Taichi	Omi-kun, good morning~!.
Juza	Mornin'.
Omi	Yeah, good morning.
Taichi	Oh, today we're having French toast for breakfast!
Omi	There are many types of toppings too.
Juza	Thanks.
Taichi	Ah, right! Omi-kun, tell me when you're free!
Omi	What happened?
Taichi	We're going to drive to Mount Fuji, all of Autumn Troupe! When we saw it on TV the other day, you wanted to go there right?
Omi	But then we settled on bouldering…
Taichi	The bouldering was fun too, but these are two different things!
	Let's go together! Everyone said they're in!
Juza	I agree with Taichi.
Omi	….
Taichi	Omi-kun?
Omi	…sure, thank you. I'll check my off days later.
Taichi	It's decided~!
Omi	(…to think it would really come true)
	(Maybe I should've wished for something more difficult to make true from the celestial sphere while I was at it)
