Omi	For this scene, wouldn't it be better for Juza to come at me strong with a turning kick?
Banri	Aah, it would definitely be flashier that way.
Izumi	Then, Omi-kun would stop the kick with his arm, and immediately release his next attack, something like that?
Sakyo	How about we try going with that for now?
Omi	Juza, are you ready?
Juza	Yes.
Banri	Be swift with it.
Juza	…I know.
Omi	Alright, come!
Juza	--Huh!
Taichi	Woah!? Both of them are so intense!
Izumi	Yeah, both of them have good builds so watching them feels great.
Sakyo	It is essential for Autumn Troupe's action
Taichi	…
	Huuh! I really worked out! Eh? Director-sensei, are you going shopping right now?
Izumi	Yup. What about you Taichi-kun?
Taichi	Just until now, I've been rope-jumping in the garden! I want to build stamina so I can become a worthy member for Autumn Troupe!
Izumi	Heh, so Taichi-kun is working out too.
Taichi	I can't lose to Juza-san and Omi-kun after all!
	Ah, I know! If you're going shopping, please use me as a bags carrier.
Izumi	Eh? But I don't plan on buying many things today--.
Taichi	I'll carry any baggage no matter how heavy it is! Come on! Let's go!
Izumi	(He isn't listening…)
Taichi	Uh… uughh….
Izumi	Er, Taichi-kun… I'll carry it. The ones I'm carrying are light--.
Taichi	There's no problem here at all! This is nothing…!
	Ugh…
Izumi	(Since Taichi-kun was with me I ended up buying a lot, but somehow I feel sorry for him…)
	…W-Want to take a break in the park over there?
Taichi	A-A break…?
Izumi	Yeah, let's buy us some juice.
Taichi	Juice!? A-Alright!
	Fu~ that was some heavy labor.
	But, I feel like it's doing the job on my arms!
Izumi	It was quite the distance until we got here. Thank you for carrying them even though they're heavy.
Taichi	It's totally fine! I can even carry something heavier!
Izumi	(…let's just remain quiet)
	As thanks for helping me, I'll buy you some juice. What would you like?
Taichi	Really!? Yay! I want Coke!
Izumi	Coke right, just a moment.
Taichi	Yay! I can't wait!

Izumi	Here, Coke. I got it for you.
Taichi	Ya~y! Thank you! What a blessing~!
Izumi	A blessing, that's going too far.
Taichi	No way Director-sensei, you're not going to say you don't know the deliciousness of Coke now right!?
Izumi	Taichi-kun, you have such a high opinion about Coke…!?
Taichi	Of course! Coke is the best in the world!
	That moment you open the cap when you're thirsty! It's such a moving moment…!
Izumi	(He looks happy… ah, let's try tricking him for a bit).
	Ah, right. Be careful when you're opening it.
Taichi	Eh! Director-sensei could it be, you shook it!?
Izumi	I might have, what do you think?
Taichi	T-That’s so mean…! Even though I looked forward to it!
Izumi	Sorry, I was lying.
Taichi	Geez, come on! Director-sensei you deceived me!
Izumi	You looked so happy Taichi-kun that I suddenly wanted to tease you.
Taichi	Alright… then, the time has come!
	Fu-… that was a nerve wracking moment! Let's drink!
	Gulp gulp… huh~! The Coke you drink after a workout is out of this world!
Izumi	Ahaha, you drink it like it's really good.
Taichi	Obviously! It's on the same level with Director-sensei's curry!
Izumi	Thinking of which Taichi-kun's hair is red and black, like Coke. Have you dyed it a long time ago?
Taichi	Ah-… in the past it was just black. This hair is because I want to stand out.
Izumi	It really does stand out. Even when I see this red hair from afar, I can immediately tell it's Taichi-kun.
Taichi	I know right. Now it feels like it's completely my trade mark!
	But… just because I made my outside appearance flashy, it doesn't mean my inside has changed too right.
Izumi	…Taichi-kun?
Taichi	No, it's nothing!
	By the way Director-sensei, you didn't buy juice for yourself?
Izumi	Ah, I forgot to. But I wasn’t that thirsty so it's fine.
Taichi	Don't say that! Director-sensei you get a Coke too and let's make a toast!
	I'll buy it for you so please wait for me~!
Izumi	Ah… there he goes.
	(Hmm… I really might have bought too much…)
Taichi	Diiirector-sensei.
Izumi	--. So cold…!
Taichi	Hehe, did I get you? It's a Coke ice attack, revenge!
Izumi	That's not revenge, you just started a new war! Pushing it to my cheek suddenly like that…
Taichi	Director-sensei's surprised face was so cute!
CHOICE 1: His smile is cute [+] Izumi ..… Taichi Eh? Director-sensei what happened? Izumi N-No, it's nothing. (I ended up thinking Taichi-kun's smile was cute…) Taichi Come on, taste the Coke already Director-sensei! I bought it so the deliciousness is doubled! Izumi Yeah, thank you.
CHOICE 2: Taichi-kun is cuter [+] Izumi From my point of view, Taichi-kun is cuter. Taichi Eh-!? I would like it much better if you call me cool instead of cute! Izumi Thank you for the Coke. Taichi Ignoring me!?
Taichi	Uhh…. Uuughh…!
Izumi	--Taichi-kun, let me hold some too. You're going to run out of power until we get to the dorms.
Taichi	I-It's fine. This is all, in order to achieve a sturdy body…!
Izumi	You've worked out enough already until now so it's okay!
Omi	Hm? Director and Taichi?
Izumi	Ah, Omi-kun.
Taichi	Ugh… O-Omi-kun…
Omi	That's some baggage you're carrying. If it's alright with you let me carry some.
Taichi	N-No can do… this is a trial for me…!
Omi	A trial?
Taichi	Fight… goooooo!
Omi	What happened, Taichi?
Izumi	Just leave him be…
