Omi	Director, is the shopping over with this?
Izumi	Yeah! Thanks for today. Thanks to Omi-kun we bought many special sale items!
Omi	Haha, that’s good.
Izumi	Ah, this route--.
Omi	Is something wrong?
Izumi	When I passed near here with a friend, they told me there's a shrine at the end of this route.
Omi	Heh, so there's a shrine in a place like that.
	Since we are here, want to go there? We can pray for the success of our next performance.
Izumi	Praying for success, sounds good!
Omi	Alright, then let's go.
Omi	It's a pretty old shrine.
Izumi	Seems you can pray over there.
Omi	Oh, you're right. Let's hurry and go there.
Izumi	(I wish the next performance will be successful!)
Omi	Haha, you're really into it.
Izumi	It is praying for success after all.
Priest	Hey, wait!
Kid	Who would wait stuuupid !
Omi	Seems to be noisy over there.
Priest	Getting in the way of cleaning, don't come complaining if you receive devine punishment!
Kid	As if I would get one! Bleh!
Priest	…Huuh. Geez, so I have to start all over again…
Omi	Excuse me, are you alright?
Priest	Yeah, sorry… showing you something unsightly.
Izumi	No, please don't mind it. More importantly, that kid--.
Priest	…this kid is always like that. He comes to the shrine and does nothing but mischief, it's really troubling. I have to prepare for the festival, but the preparations aren't advancing anywhere…
Omi	…
Izumi	Omi-kun.
Omi	Yeah.
Priest	?
Izumi	--Excuse me, Priest.
Omi	If you're okay with us we will help you.

Izumi	To think we would end up cleaning the shrine ourselves…
Omi	Haha, it really is something out of a TV drama.
Izumi	Should we also sweep behind the shrine?
Omi	Yeah, then I'll go take a look there. Since it looks like we're about to finish here.
Izumi	Is that so? Then, please do.
Omi	And, that's about it…
	--!
	There!
Kid	--! O-Oi let go of me!
Omi	The~re there, I got you.
Kid	Let Go Of Me !
Omi	Good boy, we will be returning to the front now.
Kid	Oi! Put me down!
Omi	Hey, I told you to stay quiet.
Izumi	Ah, Omi-kun—wait? This kid is…
Omi	Yeah, he's the kid from earlier. He was about to mess up the garbage I gathered so I caught him.
Kid	Don't ignore me! I told you to let go of me!
Omi	--Oi, don't struggle. You want to be dropped down head first?
Kid	Eek…!
Izumi	O, Omi-kun…?
Omi	Haha, my bad. Did I scare you too much? When I do it like this li~ghtly to my brothers they immediately calm down, I ended up using it.
Izumi	(So just now, it was li~ghtly… I wonder how it is when he's angry for real…)
Kid	…
Izumi	Indeed, the results are showing…
Kid	…
Izumi	….hey, you. Why are you doing those things?
Omi	You have some circumstances right?
Kid	…not really. Even if I go back home no one is there, so I'm just killing time.
Omi	Even so, you can't trouble other people. Bad boys, are going to be kidnapped by an Oni.
Kid	Rather than Oni, you big bro are way scarier…
Izumi	Ahaha…
Omi	If you're lonely, we will play with you.
Kid	…really?
Omi	Yeah. Right, Director?
Izumi	Of course. If it's our dorm, there are even more big brothers over there.
Omi	Instead, can you promise you won't play tricks anymore?
Kid	…yup!
Omi	Great! Then, let's go apologizing.
Izumi	It's a good thing you could apologize properly.
Omi	So you can do it if you try.
Kid	Obviously!
Omi	Haha, you're really cheeky.
Izumi	Well then, be careful on your back.
Kid	Yup! See you again, Oni big brother and big sister!
Omi	Oni big brother…
Izumi	There there. Let's think of it as nickname.
Izumi	But Omi-kun, you really know how to take care of others. Like you're used to deal with boys.
Omi	Because my house is an all male household. If something was going on I made them quiet with a pro wrestling move.
Izumi	Isn't it too violent!?
Kid	Oni big bro! Let's play!
Juza	Wha, a kid…!?
Taichi	Moreover Oni big bro, who is he talking about!?
Omi	So you came again huh. Geez, I told you to stop it with this nickname right?
Kid	It's fine right! Let's play already! Foureyes you play with us too!
Sakyo	I told you, don't call me foureyes! For god's sake, this damn brat…
Juza	….branding Sakyo-san as foureyes huh.
Banri	That brat, does he know no fear?

Notes

The title is a Japanese proverb meaning that even a bad person can change. Oni basically means demon, but I chose to leave it as Oni since it's an intended pun on Omi's name.
