| Izumi | Woah, I feel like more people are out than last time. |
| Guy | The number of stalls may have increased as well. |
| Tasuku | They might have increased the scale since it’s so popular. |
 |
| Azuma | All of us want to browse different things this time, so let’s meet up again after an hour and show off what we purchased. |
| Tsumugi | Sure. |
| Alright then, see you later—. |
| Homare | “How do you do? Arisugawa Homare here. |
| At the present moment, I am at the World Market with everyone in Winter troupe.” |
| Tasuku | Are you really doing a VLOG here… |
| Homare | Shall we film together? |
| Tasuku | I’m going to take a look at the junk parts way over there. |
| Hisoka | …I’m heading a different direction too. |
| Homare | I think the sweets corner is next to the used books corner. |
| “Now then, why don’t we head off together! |
| Let’s find a gem that’s one-of-a-kind!” |
| Hisoka | …*Sigh*. |
| Foreign boy | 《Ah, that guy over there! 》 |
| Homare | Oh my? It appears that young man at that stall is calling out to you, Hisoka-kun. |
| Hisoka | ? |
| Foreign boy | 《Long time no see! |
| Do you remember me? 》 |
| Hisoka | Ah… |
| (It’s the kid who was a customer at August’s candy shop…) |
 |
| Foreign boy | 《I’m glad I got to meet you again, mister. 》 |
| Hisoka | 《Same here…》 |
| Homare | Hm… his artworks truly are a sight to behold… |
| They are simple, but it is as if they see the true nature of the viewer’s heart… |
| 《Did you paint all of these? 》 |
| Foreign boy | 《Yes! I mostly have landscape paintings here, but I also draw portraits quite often. 》 |
| 《Here, like these—I love painting people’s smiling faces or how they look while they’re conversing. 》 |
| Homare | 《Your portraits are fantastic. |
| The expressions are full of life and it warms your heart. 》 |
| Foreign boy | 《If you have something you want me to paint, then I can do it here. 》 |
| Homare | 《Ooh! In that case, draw me like one of your—》 |
| Hisoka | 《Okay, can I think about it and ask you later? 》 |
| Foreign boy | 《No problem. 》 |
| Customer | Excuse me. About this painting here—. |
| Foreign boy | 《Ah, yes. 》 |
| 《Sorry, I have to get back to it—I’ll be in this spot the whole time the event is running, so please come back anytime. 》 |
| Homare | Hisoka-kun, and here I thought I was going to have my portrait painted. |
| Hisoka | …You’re enough on your own, Arisu. |
| |
| Homare | I bought a lot as usual. |
| Hisoka | …What are you shopping for? |
| Homare | I am going to take a quick peek at that shop next. |
| I found a rare poetry anthology last time. |
| Hisoka | Mmmm… |
| Homare | —Oh, is this not the art book I have always been searching for? |
| I can’t believe I found it here…! |
| Hisoka | This smell… |
| Homare | Hm? |
| Hisoka | —. |
| (Will I remember again…? |
| I want to remember… but…) |
| Homare | Take the camera, Hisoka-kun. |
| Film me finding this treasure at the end of my hunt. |
| Hisoka | …No thanks. That’s a pain. |
| Homare | …Hmph. That’s why you’re Hisoka-kun. |
| Hisoka | What do you mean…? |
| Homare | Never mind. |
| Well then, shall we return to where everyone else is? |
| |
| Izumi | Ha~. We shopped ‘til we dropped. It was fun! |
| Tsumugi | You bought a lot of spices like usual. |
 |
| Izumi | Did you get gardening goods, Tsumugi-san? They’re nice. |
| Tsumugi | It’s fun to look at the wide variety of tools they have in countries where gardening is popular. |
| Tasuku | Mikage’s impressive too. |
| Those are all sweets, aren’t they? |
| Hisoka | …I gave up on what I couldn’t hold. |
| Tasuku | There was more than that…? |
| Tsumugi | Holding a drinking party after the World Market reminds me of our closing party for our 6th performance. |
| Izumi | The only thing different back then was the shop. |
| Azuma | Mhm, Journey didn’t exist yet. |
| Guy | What would you like for your drinks and appetizers? |
| Azuma | Seeing as we went to the World Market today, it might be fun to try drinks from all over the world. |
| Izumi | Great idea! |
| Tasuku | We’ll leave it to you then, Guy. |
| Guy | Understood. Please wait a moment. |
| Izumi | (Sharing drinks with everyone at Journey like this has become a familiar sight.) |
| (It sure is relaxing…) |
| Hisoka | … |
| Izumi | (Hisoka-san’s smiling…) |
| Are you having fun, Hisoka-san? |
| Hisoka | ? Why do you ask? |
| Izumi | You were smiling. |
| I feel like you smiled more than usual today. |
| Hisoka | Really…? |
| Izumi | (I wonder if we could switch up his mood, even a little.) |
| |
| Azuma | Can I get a refill? |
| Izumi | I’m good with water. |
| Guy | Coming right up. |
| Hisoka | Zzz, zzz… |
| Azuma | He’s sleeping blissfully surrounded by sweets, hm? |
| Tsumugi | He found a lot of marshmallows, so it looks like he cheered up a bit. |
| Izumi | I’m glad. |
| |
| *dreams starts* |
| |
| Hisoka | (I’m starving… |
| I wonder if anything fell around here…) |
| (What’s that… |
| There’s a bunch of letters written down…) |
| (I wonder what it says…) |
 |
| Shopkeeper | Are you interested in books? |
| Hisoka | Books? |
| Shopkeeper | That’s what that is. |
| My, have you never seen a book until now? |
| Hisoka | I can’t even read the words… |
| If it’s not food, then I’m not interested… |
| Shopkeeper | Books aren’t edible. That’s very true. |
| However, you see, books will enrich your life. |
| Well, even if I tell you that right now, it might just go in one ear and out the other… |
| But I pray that one day, the day will come for you when you can think you’re interested in books as well. |
| I’m sure when that time comes, you will have become much happier than you are at this moment. |
| |
| *dream ends* |
| |
| Hisoka | —. |
 |
| Homare | Zzz, zzz… |
| Hisoka | (This smell… is it from the book Arisu bought… |
| I guess I had that dream because of this scent…) |
| (This time it wasn’t about August. |
| It was before I met him…) |
| (Ah, that’s right… that old lady who was selling books didn’t treat me harshly like a dirty rag. She talked to me.) |
| (She treated me like a human being…) |
| (When I saw that rosary a while ago, I recalled the kindness of a priest in the past.[1] So there were other people like that…) |
| (It’s just like that old lady said. I forgot…) |
| … |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
| Izumi | Are you having fun, Hisoka-kun? |
| Hisoka | ? Why do you ask? |
| Izumi | You were smiling. |
| I feel like you smiled more than usual today. |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
| Hisoka | (I was smiling… so I had fun… |
| I had lots of fun visiting the World Market with everyone…) |
| (But some day, that memory might disappear… |
| Even though I want to make sure I remember everything…) |
| —. |
