| |
| Banri | … Yo, if it ain’t Sakuya. |
| Sakuya | Banri-kun! Heading home from uni? |
| Banri | Yep. What ‘bout you? Just finished with your part-time at the daycare? |
| Sakuya | I did. We actually wrapped up pretty early today. |
| Banri | That’s a good thing then. Good work. |
| … Huh? Hey, the guy leaving that bakery over there, ain’t that— |
| Sakuya | It’s Masumi-kun! |
| Banri | Bought some curry bread, I bet. It’s the same as always with him. |
| Sakuya | Ahaha, probably, yeah. |
| Banri | … Oh, you know what… |
| Yo Sakuya, let’s take him captive. |
| Sakuya | Captive? What do you mean… |
| *walks over* |
| Banri | Heya Masumi. |
| Sakuya | Masumi-kun! |
| Masumi | ——Why are you two here. |
| Banri | Just happened to bump into ya. But before anything, you should come with us. |
| Masumi | I don’t like where this is going. |
| Banri | It’s nothing bad, promise. Sakuya, you're joining in too. |
| Sakuya | ?? |
| |
| *ENTRANCE BELL RINGS* |
| Shop Owner | Welcome… Oh, if it isn’t Sakuma-kun. I see you have your fellow troupe members with you too. |
| Sakuya | Ah— yes, that’s right! |
| Shop Owner | Please take this table here. |
| Banri | Thanks. |
| Masumi | … The curry bread I bought for her is gonna get cold. |
| Banri | It’ll be fine if you pop it in the microwave, right? |
| Sakuya | Could it be… Did you have us come here because we couldn’t before our graduation? |
| Banri | Bingo. You said we’d have another chance to go, but we never got to do so in the end. |
| And since the three of us got to group up again, that memory came to mind. |
| The main difference though is that you started working part-time in this same place too. [1] |
| Sakuya | Ahaha, seems so! I’m glad you actually remembered, Banri-kun. |
| Banri | Told ya before that I wanted to come too, didn't I? |
| Right. I’m gonna have some coffee and, what else… |
| Hoh, their limited-time menu has some tasty-looking stuff too. |
| Sakuya | Yeah! They had me taste-test these and I can say they’re really delicious! I think they’ll go well with coffee. |
| The napolitan pasta is a recommended item, of course, but this other pasta has a nice tangy taste. Masumi-kun might like it. |
| Masumi | Hmm….. |
| Banri | So well-versed, huh. As expected of one of the store’s employees. |
| Oh yeah, we should at least let Director-chan know we’ll be having dinner— |
| Masumi | Already done. |
| Sakuya | S-So fast! |
| Banri | Y’know, for someone who was whinin’ earlier, he’s still being real compliant… |
| I bet Masumi remembers about that day more than he lets on. |
| Sakuya | Right? Thank you, Masumi-kun! |
| Masumi | … It’s nothing like that at all. |
| I wanna bring the curry bread to Director ASAP, so let’s just order already. |
| Sakuya | Haha, alright! |
