Part 1Part 2

Azuma	Ginsenkai is also opening a shop on Veludo Way's Christmas market, right?
Sakyo	Yeah, we're currently discussing what kind of shop we're putting up.
Azuma	Is that so.
	--Ah, your glass is empty. Would you like a refill?
Sakyo	Thanks.
Azuma	What kind of shop you're planning to put up? Do you have anything in mind?
Sakyo	Nothing yet.
Azuma	I see. Then how about checking the Christmas market in the neighboring town?
Sakyo	Are they doing it in the neighboring town too?
Azuma	Yup. If you haven't been there yet, why not try checking it out?
	The atmosphere should give you an idea and there are various shops. I think it will be helpful.
Sakyo	You're right. I'll consider stopping by after work tomorrow.
	*time skip*
Sakoda	Big bro, today's work's almost done!
Sakyo	Yeah.
Sakoda	Should we eat somewhere after?
Sakyo	No, I need to go somewhere.
	Sakoda, follow me.
Sakoda	Eh? Can I go with ya?
Sakyo	Yeah.
Sakoda	I'm happy!
	I'll follow ya to the ends of the world!
	*time skip*
Sakyo	We're here.
Sakoda	Ooh! What's up with this place?
Sakyo	You haven't heard of it?
	It's a Christmas market.
Sakoda	Big bro, 's it for me.....!
Sakyo	Don't get it wrong.
	We’re here for Ginsenkai's Christmas market.
Sakoda	Yes! I'm sorry!
	There are loads' of different shops in Christmas markets.
Sakyo	That's right.
	Let's take a look around in the meantime.
Sakoda	Lezz go!
	This general store sells Christmas-themed goods.
Sakyo	Yeah, seems like they have various kinds of products.
Sakoda	Everythin’ a woman will like!
Sakyo	A woman will like, huh?
Sakoda	Ah, I'm smellin' somethin' delicious from there!
Sakyo	Oi, Sakoda!
	Geez, that guy....
Sakoda	I knew it! They're sellin' grubs here!
	's there anything you'd like to eat?
Sakyo	No, I'm good. I'm going to check other shops for now. Just eat something here and wait.
	I'll buy you anything you want.
Sakoda	Eh? 's it okay?
Sakyo	Yeah, choose quickly.
Sakoda	Thanks a lot!
	Which one should I choose~
Sakyo	Is this general store earlier?
Storekeeper	Welcome, Please have a look around as much as you like.
Sakyo	I appreciate it.
	What's this?
	A snowman doll?
Storekeeper	It's snowman-shaped light.
	It's my personal favorite. It's cute, isn't it?
Sakyo	Yeah, so it's a light?
	It's very wintery.

Sakyo	Is this a candle....?
Storekeeper	You can put it inside the glass. Pretty, isn't it? It's really popular with young people. It's been high on demand.
Sakyo	Heh, I see.
	If it's popular with young people, this one should do.
	(....No, wait.
	Anything that uses fire is dangerous.)
Banri	's more crowded than I expected.
Kazunari	There's lots of shop too. I'm super stoked!
	Where should we hit first? Can't decide~!
Banri	Wouldn't better to check the shops close by?
Kazunari	Righto!
	Eh, huh...?
	Hey, hey! Isn't that dude over there, Frooch-san?
Banri	Ha? There's no way he'd be on a pla---
	gee, 's true.
	....The hell is he doin' here?
Kazunari	Probs same with us? He might've come here as a reference for Veludo Way's Christmas market. I heard Ginesenkai's putting up a shop.
	But isn't the shop he's checking a general store?
Banri	Looks like it.
	Moreover, Sakyo-san's way too out of place in a store like that.
Sakyo	Is the snowman earlier really popular with young people?
Storekeeper	Of course it is.
	Primary and Junior High school students often buy it.
Sakyo	Primary....
	Isn't that too young?
	So this one, this one, and the other stuff here too....?
Storekeeper	Well, just think about your present carefully.
	Those who will receive it would be happy that you put a lot of time thinking about it.
Sakyo	Yeah, I'll do that.
Kazunari	Don'tcha think Frooch-san's looking antsy?
	Don't tell me, he's here to grab a Christmas present for someone?
Banri	Hell would freeze first.
	He's prob'ly lookin' at it as a reference?
Kazunari	That aside, we gotta scram.
	We're scouting, right?
Banri	Oh, that's right!
Kazunari	Let's start with that shop!
	Let's just ambush Frooch-san later when he's back!
Sakyo	Hm?
	( Was that Miyoshi's voice just now...?
	I'm probably hearing things...)
	Alright, I'll go with this.
	Wrap it up, please.
Storekeeper	Sure, so you finally decided. Give me a minute.
	I'll give you a special ribbon.
Sakyo	Yeah, thanks.
	*time skip*
Sakyo	I'm home.
Kazunari	Welcome home~!
Banri	Good work.
Kazunari	Hey, hey, Frooch-san,
	You were in the neighboring town's Christmas market today, weren't you?
Sakyo	The hell, so it was really you.
	(I thought the voice I heard earlier was just my imagination)
Kazunari	Yup! Yup!
	Say, aren't you buying a present from the general store?
Sakyo	Yeah, you saw that too?
Banri	No way.
Sakyo	The hell are you surprised?
Kazunari	Who will you give it to?
	Don't tell me, you're giving it to someone you like!?
Sakyo	Haa...Don't be silly.
Banri	Betcha he bought it for himself.
Sakyo	I would've chosen something else if that's the case.
	.....I'm visiting my parent's house soon and I want to bring something for my sister so I bought it.
Kazunari	That's it~?
Banri	So it's juz' for your sis.
Sakyo	Geez.... You punks, just what on earth are you thinking?
