Store ManagerWelcome.
ItaruHello.
SakuyaH-hello!
Store ManagerGreetings. Are you a friend of Chigasaki-kun?
ItaruHe dorms with me as a fellow troupe member.
Store ManagerI see. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
HairdresserI’ll be in charge of you two for today.
SakuyaPlease treat me well!
Store ManagerPardon me. Does this leave any stiffness in your neck?
ItaruIt’s fine.
SakuyaHave you been coming here since your third year of junior high, Itaru-san?
Store ManagerWhen you say it like that, it does feel like it’s been a long time.
I still remember how Konomi-chan asked me to give her little brother a huge makeover, that first time.
ItaruTrue, I was a shabby mess back then.
SakuyaSo that’s what happened. You made your high school debut with your sister’s guidance.
ItaruMy high school debut… I mean, you’re right, but it’s kind of cringe to say it out loud.
She put me through some Spartan-level grinding to train for that high school debut plan of hers… It was rough.
Well, I became really successful after high school though. Her regime was astounding.
SakuyaYou sure respect your sister.
Itaru…Respect. Yeah, that’s right.
My sister was always the top dog at home, and there were times I found her annoying…
But I think I admired her headstrong independence. She made her own decisions, and she fought through the world with a perfect exterior.
Store ManagerSpeaking of, I heard Konomi-chan’s going to get married and move abroad soon?
ItaruYep.
Store ManagerI’m going to miss her very much.
But I’m sure she’d be happy to know you admire her as an elder sister.
ItaruPlease keep it on the down-low. I only said all that because Sakuya’s here.
Sakuya
(I really do want Itaru-san’s sister to see him on stage before she moves far away.)

SakuyaThank you for today. The shop had such a nice, relaxing atmosphere.
ItaruYou too. Glad you liked it.
SakuyaI’ll see you later, since I have a part-time job after this—.
ItaruHave a good day. Good luck out there.
SakuyaI’m off then!

Itaru
(Hmm… Guess I’m in the mood for a fighting game.)
(Better get the good spot before someone steals it away.)
Masumi…It’s you.
ItaruC’mon, why?
MasumiWhat?
ItaruNah, I mean, Masumi, why are you here?
MasumiThe weather forecast said it was supposed to rain this evening, but the Director didn’t bring an umbrella.
I’m killing time until the Director’s work is over.
ItaruAs expected of the loyal dog…
I mean, that’s not what I wanted to ask, why’d you choose to kill time here of all places? …Well, whatever.
MasumiSit down.
ItaruTo think that Masumi would invite me.

Game Screen[ READY… FIGHT! ]
ItaruIt’s the same guy as before. You like that character? He’s nice and easy to use, but his range is a little on the short side.
Masumi…You’re so annoying. Did you forget that I beat you once before?
ItaruThat was just a fluke. You got a special buff from Director-san’s power.
Huh? Your moves are pretty sharp.
Masumi
ItaruWell, I’ll take it easy on you…
MasumiI’ll kill you.

Game Screen[ K. O. ]
Itaru——.
MasumiI won with my own abilities.
Game Screen[ READY… FIGHT! ]
Masumi…You’re quiet all of a sudden.
ItaruHush, I have to use my full power here.
Masumi

Game Screen[ YOU WIN! ]
ItaruPhew… Thought my fingers were losing their touch, that hasn’t happened in a while.
MasumiHmph.
ItaruGG. I didn’t think you would’ve been practicing. Were you doing your best to get praised by Director-san again?
Masumi…I just drop by to kill time sometimes. After Banri and Sakuya graduated, it was just me on my way home.
Whenever I passed by the arcade, I remembered how I got beaten up and it bothered me. I’m glad I won at least one game.
ItaruFuu…
MasumiWhat?
ItaruNah, I had a similar episode some time ago… except the other person was my sister.
MasumiYour sister…
Itaru?
MasumiDon’t you wanna invite her to see you on stage?
ItaruDidn’t know you cared about that too.
MasumiIt’s nothing. I just overheard the Director being concerned about it, so I asked, is all.
ItaruYou sure have a sixth sense for Director-san.
(Well, it’s not just Director-san, but everyone in Spring Troupe. I bet they’re all worried about me behind the scenes.)
I’ve asked her before, but she turned me down. I honestly dunno what’s going on in my sister’s head.
Maybe I’m just scared to ask her about it and get rejected again…?
Masumi
