| Banri | Sakuya, you goin’ somewhere? |
| Sakuya | Yeah, I’m headed to the usual thrift store! |
| Banri | Really? I was actually just thinking about goin’ out to look for some clothes myself. |
| How ‘bout we go together then? |
| Sakuya | Are you sure? |
| Banri | Yea. I was lookin’ to kill some time anyway. |
| Sakuya | Well then, let’s go! |
| |
| Banri | I heard from Sakyo-san that we’re gonna get regularly featured on “VELUDO’s” cover and project pages. |
| Sakuya | The past three times were really popular. I’m really glad! |
| Banri | Same here. |
 |
| Sakuya | Though, I was a little surprised when I heard about what the next project is. |
| Banri | What’s so surprising about it? |
| Sakuya | Umm, actually… |
| |
| Izumi | Have you heard of the “Veludo Halloween Fashion Show”? |
| Sakuya | Eeh!? |
| Izumi | What, is something wrong? |
| Sakyo | No… We actually just saw the announcement for that event and we said it wouldn’t be a bad idea for our theater company to participate in it. |
| Sakuya | We were just thinking about consulting you about it. What amazing timing! |
| Izumi | Oh, I see, that’s pretty surprising! |
 |
| Sakyo | You said the next issue of “VELUDO” is linked to the event, how so? |
| Izumi | It seems that this is the first time the “Veludo Halloween Fashion Show” will be held--. |
| They wanted to have some of our troupe members participate in the event and then write an article related to it. |
| Sakuya | That’s a great idea! |
| Sakyo | Ah, I was originally thinking we should participate in the event. Being able to do an article in “VELUDO” on it too is a godsend. |
| I’m sure it’ll also generate more publicity for the company. |
| |
| Sakuya | That’s what they said. |
| Banri | Ah, gotcha. …Oh, we got all the way to the store while I was listening to ya talk. |
| Sakuya | Ah, we did! |
| |
| Staff | Welcome to th-- Ah, Sakuya-kun! Thanks for coming again. |
| Sakuya | Hello! |
| Staff | So, the next cover of “VELUDO” is going to be MANKAI Company again, right? |
| Sakuya | Eh? Umm… |
| Staff | Ah, was I not supposed to hear about that? I guess there must be some information that isn’t supposed to be released yet, my bad. |
| Sakuya | How did you know…? |
| Staff | They’re actually going to be using clothes from this store for the project. |
| Sakuya | Eeeh, really?! |
| Banri | What a coincidence. |
| Sakuya | Have they decided on what kind of clothes they’re going to use? |
| Staff | Only the theme and general image. |
| Banri | Well then, what kinda vibe did they request? |
| Staff | Well, since the overall theme is dark Halloween, they seemed pleased with something cool, tough, and straightforward. |
| Sakuya | Cool, tough, straightforward… |
| Banri | Seems like Sakyo-san and Tasuku-san would be a good fit. And if you’re lookin’ for the stern type too--. |
| Staff | Ah, but since it’s Halloween, they prepared some cute costumes too, like a black cat. |
| Banri | Black cat, huh? That, on the other hand, would be impossible for the old man. |
 |
| Sakuya | B-Banri-kun… |
| Banri | In that case, you wanna do it, Sakuya? The black cat, I mean. |
| Sakuya | Eh? M-Me!? |
| Staff | A black cat certainly seems like it would fit Sakuya-kun. |
| Sakuya | Y-You think so…? Thank you so much! |
