Sakuya | Masumi-kun, it’s almost time for us to go! |
Masumi | … Sleepy… |
 |
Tsuzuru | He really looks like he’s gonna crash and sleep at any moment… |
Izumi | Masumi-kun, come on, pull it together! You can do it! |
Masumi | I’ll only go since you’re cheering me on for it… |
Tsuzuru | Here, your bags. Made sure everything’s there? |
Sakuya | Yep! We’ll be going now! |
Masumi | Later… |
Tsuzuru | Take care, you two. |
Izumi | Take care! |
| *DOOR CLOSES* |
| |
Sakuya | Your shoes are over here, Masumi-kun. |
Masumi | Mm… |
Banri | Seriously, how’re ya gonna handle yourself once Sakuya graduates, huh? |
Sakuya | Ah, Banri-kun, good morning! If it’s okay with you, do you wanna join us on the way to school? |
Banri | Sure, guess I will. |
| |
Sakuya | Soon, we won’t be able to spend our time like this anymore… |
Banri | Our walks to school together became more and more of a thing before we knew it. |
Masumi | It’s only because you two keep dragging me into this. |
Banri | Why you… Badmouth me all you want, but at least say thanks to Sakuya or something. He even goes outta his way to get you out of bed, y’know. |
Sakuya | Ahaha, I consider that as just another part of my routine though! |
| ……. |
Banri | Sakuya? |
Sakuya | … I was just thinking. With graduation being around the corner, I’m starting to sort of see our route to school as something special. |
| It’s as if my memories of the time I’ve spent here are flashing in my mind one by one. |
Banri | Well. I guess I get how ya feel. |
Sakuya | Memories like… How Masumi-kun would always stop by that bakery over there and buy some curry bread after school. |
Banri | There was also that time Sakuya saw the signboard of that Western cuisine resto before he inevitably got lured in after seeing they had napolitan pasta on the menu. |
Masumi | … I recall something like that happened. |
Sakuya | Ehehe, I remember. |
| The three of us also went to karaoke together at Banri-kun’s invite… |
Masumi | I remember that time we went to the supermarket together because the Director had asked us to. |
Banri | And the stuff she asked to buy was none other than curry ingredients, right? |
Sakuya | It hasn’t even been that long since those things happened, yet I can’t help but feel nostalgic. |
Banri | You said it. |
Masumi | It’s too soon for you to feel nostalgic, isn’t it? |
Sakuya | Ahaha, I guess you’re right. |
| But you know, I never would’ve thought we’d be going to school together like this back when Banri-kun had just entered the troupe. |
| At the time, I figured that since we all went to the same school together, it’d be nice if we could get along bit by bit… But I just couldn’t find the right time to speak up. |
Banri | Ahh…… Guess not. I mean, not like I helped ‘cause of. Y’know. |
Masumi | You’re a lot tamer now compared to then. |
Banri | Pisses me off hearing that from you. |
| Though, I suppose I owe it to Sakuya for getting us to this point where we can just chat so normally now. |
Sakuya | Ehhh!? I don’t think I did much…!! |
Banri | You’re the one who first spoke up, don’t you recall? |
