Izumi	.... Ah, look at the time.
	(I was completely preoccupied with my work. I need to do some shopping soon.)
	Let's go to the kitchen and check the rest of the ingredients before leaving.
Sakyo	......
Izumi	Ah, Sakyo-san.
	Are you working here?
Sakyo	Yeah, I'm doing a little workaround accounting.
Izumi	I'm sorry for leaving that up to you. Thank you for your help as always.
	Ah, shall I bring you something to drink?
Sakyo	No, it's fine.
	By the way, are you going out?
Izumi	Yes, I'm going to buy some ingredients.
Sakyo	I'll get ready in five minutes. Wait for me.
	I'm going with you.
Izumi	Eh, but Sakyo-san, aren't you working right now?
Sakyo	I just reached a good stopping point.
	It's fine.
	Moreover, today is meat sale day. We can buy more if we go together.
Izumi	Fufu, certainly.
	Let's go then.
Izumi	We were able to buy lots of meat from the sale!
Sakyo	Well, with that number of people, I'm sure it'll be gone in no time.
Izumi	Ahaha... You certainly have a point.
Sakyo	Make sure you don't miss out on special sales at each store in the future.
Izumi	That goes without saying!
???	Big bro~!
	Big sis~!
Izumi	Ah, it's Sakoda-san.
	Good afternoon.
Sakoda	Good afternoon!
Sakyo	Oi, Sakoda. Lower your voice.
	Where do you think you are?
Sakoda	I-I'm sorry!
Izumi	It's quite unusual to meet Sakoda-san here at the supermarket.
Sakyo	It's probably because he saw us somewhere.
Sakoda	As expected of big bro! You can tell right away!
	I happened to see big sis 'n big bro walking on the streets, so I followed you into the store!
Izumi	I get it now.
Sakyo	Geez, you don't have to tail me every single time you see me.
Sakoda	Ehh!! Please don't say that!
	I jus’ wanna be of any help to you...!
Sakyo	...I see. If you really want to be of help, go grab some meat.
	...The meats with red bargain stickers are the ones on sale. Got it?
Sakoda	Aye! Count on me!
Izumi	(Fufu, the way they talk to each other hasn't changed ever since the beginning...)

Sakoda	Should I put the bags here?
Sakyo	Yeah.
Izumi	I'm sorry for making you carry them all the way to the dorm.
Sakoda	Don't worry 'bout it! 's my honor to be of any help to big bro 'n big sis!
Sakyo	I'm going back to work now.
	You should go home as well.
Sakoda	A'ight!
	Good work!
	.......
Izumi	Sakoda-san, what's the matter?
Sakoda	No, it's jus' that big bro's so busy these days...
	Dontcha think he looks a 'lil tired?
Izumi	Come to think of it...
	I'm kind of feeling sorry for leaving all the accounting work to him.
Sakoda	I wish I could do somethin' for big bro----...
	Ah!
	How 'bout giving him a treat!?
Izumi	Indeed! It sounds like a great idea.
Sakoda	Aight, once it's decided, I'll buy the stuff right away... Ah.
	What the hell should I give him...!?
	Ugh, can't think of anythin' at all...!
Izumi	Then, how about I do a bit of research on what Sakyo-san needs right now?
Sakoda	Eh, is it okay?
	Big sis, I'm counting on you....!
Izumi	Can you stop by the dorm again when you have time, then?
Sakoda	Aye!
	Thanks!
Izumi	Sakyo-san? Would you like to take a quick break?
Sakyo	....You made some coffee?
	You're right. Thank you.
	...... Recently, my eyes get tired easily from looking at all these tiny characters. I bet bon and Rurikawa will say I stink of old man if they hear me say this.
Izumi	Fufu... I can certainly imagine from the way you're putting it...
Sakyo	Aah?
Izumi	J-just kidding!
	Is there anything I can help with?
Sakyo	What the hell are you talking about?
	Aren't your hands full with your work already?
	Besides, it is not something I cannot do without the director's help.
	Don't worry about it.
Izumi	..... I understand.
	But please tell me if things get too hard, okay?
	We'll be in trouble if Sakyo-san collapses.
Sakyo	Understood.
Izumi	(Sakyo-san's eyes get tired easily these days...
	Alright, I'll tell Sakoda-san about this.)

Azami	Aren't you hearing heavy footsteps in the hallway?
Yuki	…You're right.
Sakyo	Who's the punk tramping around loudly?
Izumi	Ah, could it be---
Sakoda	Big bro---!
	I brought you some treats!
Azami	Ken-san, you're here.
Sakoda	Ou!
	Azami is here too!
Sakyo	Treats?
Sakoda	Aye! You're lookin' real tired recently,
	so I prepared this with big sis' help!
Sakyo	Just when did you...
Izumi	No, I simply gave him a hint. It was Sakoda-san who decided and prepared various things.
Sakoda	Big bro, please accept these!
	Come on! Come on!
Sakyo	Stop pushing them on me. What a pain.
Yuki	Treats? What did you bring?
Sakoda	Rurikawa sis, I'm glad you asked!
	First off is a moist rice cracker! It's my most recent favorite!
Sakyo	So, it's 'your' favorite.
Azami	Can't believe you can still complain after Ken-san worked hard to bring these here.
Sakyo	Aah?
Sakoda	It's big sis!
	Big sis told me you would be happy I'll give you something I like!
Izumi	That's right.
	Sakyo-san, how was it?
Sakyo	Well, thank you, I guess.
Sakoda	Big bro....!
	Goin' through all sorts of trouble to prepare was so worth it!
	I have more treats I prepared!
	Next is... a heated eye mask!
	Big bro, I heard from big sis that your eyes get tired easily these days!
Yuki	The older you get, the easier it is for your eyes to get tired.
Azami	I know right.
Sakyo	Oi.
	.....But I do remember talking about that. You're sure good at remembering trivial stuff, huh.
Izumi	Of course I'll remember!
	After all...
CHOICE 1: "You're an important person" [+] Izumi Sakyo-san is an important person for the company! Both our plays and operations will be in trouble without Sakyo-san. Sakyo For the company, huh. Izumi Did I say something weird? Sakyo .....It's nothing. I just remembered being told the same thing before. Izumi Ahaha, that's right. Please don't forget about it. Sakyo Yeah.
CHOICE 2: "You said it yourself" [+] Izumi Sakyo-san, you said it yourself! There's no way I'll forget about it. Sakyo Then when is the next sale? Izumi Yes.....? Sakyo When is the next meat sale day? This isn't just about remembering my words. You cannot answer my question by simply assuming so and so.... Izumi No, no. That question is extremely difficult....! Sakyo Pft... I'm just kidding. ...You remembering the trivial things I said is enough for me.
Sakoda	And last but not least! A Fushimi-san-made Sakoda doll!
	Please think of it as me and keep it for a while!
Sakyo	I..... don't need this.
Sakoda	Please don't say that!
Sakyo	Fushimi made it for you.
	Shouldn't you be the one to take care of it?
Sakoda	Fushimi gave me permission! It's ok!
	This doll shall protect and soothe big bro as my substitute.
Sakyo	No, I told you, I don't need it.
Azami	If shitty Sakyo doesn't need it, I'll take care of it.
Sakoda	A-Azami!
Azami	Moreover, Ken-san, why do you only have treats for Sakyo? Don't you have anything for me?
Sakoda	Eh! I've done today’s preparations especially for big bro...
	I'll buy you anythin' you want next time, okay?
Sakyo	Sakoda brought all these because he knows I am busy.
	You're not even doing something tedious right now.
Azami	Haa!? I have lots of things I'm taking care of.
Sakoda	Ahhhh! Please calm down, both of you!
Yuki	....What's up with all these pointless arguments?
Izumi	Ahaha, the feeling they give off is somehow nostalgic, is it not?
Sakyo	.....After all, I, the senior group member, should be the priority. Am I right, Sakoda?
Sakoda	Y-yes---!
