Tasuku	…I’m home.
Tsumugi	Tasuku, welcome back.
Azuma	You’re quite late today.
Izumi	Would you like to eat something?
	It’s more or less the leftover Omi-kun made just now though…
Tasuku	Nah… It’s alright.
Tsumugi	…Tasuku, are you feeling tired?
Tasuku	No, that’s not the case…
Tsumugi	But, your face doesn’t look so good.
Tasuku	…
	Actually, the guest performance that I’m doing right now has quite an exhausting content.
	Today has both afternoon and evening shows, that’s why I look tired more than usual maybe.
Azuma	It sounds reasonable if Tasuku said that.
Homare	As expected of Tsumugi-kun, to be able to see it through!
Tsumugi	I’ve known Tasuku for a very long time after all.
Tasuku	Well, tomorrow’s the final day, so just one more step to go.
Izumi	Please do your best!
Tasuku	Yeah.
Hisoka	Tasuku, I’ll give you a marshmallow so get well.
Azuma	Speaking of which, it will be Tasuku’s birthday soon right.
Guy	When everything calms down, let’s celebrate it together.
Homare	Do you have anywhere you want to go?
Tasuku	…No.
Homare	Anything’s fine, so just think of something!
Tasuku	If you say so… I want to eat something delicious.
Azuma	Something delicious huh… That sounds good.
Tsumugi	This is Tasuku we’re talking about after all, I thought you’re going to say that you want to watch Soccer or something.
Tasuku	We won’t end up watching the match together even if we went with these members, I’ll invite Soccer Club for that.
Guy	You’re right.
Hisoka	… You know that well.
Tsumugi	Since we’re going out to eat then, maybe we can consider going somewhere further this time.
Azuma	If that’s the case, let me check out the stores.
Tasuku	… Thank you so much.
Tasuku	In the end, I’m still the driver…
Tsumugi	Would you like me to drive instead?
Izumi	Then, as someone who just tagged along with Winter Troupe, let me do it instead!
Tasuku	Nevermind… I will drive.
Guy	… You want to change?
Tasuku	Be that as it may, I will get restless if I don’t drive at all.
	It’s alright.
Azuma	Fufu, so it’s like this in the end.

Azuma	This is the place.
Tsumugi	Woah, there are so many people lining up.
Tasuku	That’s quite a long line.
Izumi	It’s a popular store huh.
Azuma	Don’t worry, I already made a reservation.
Tsumugi	As expected of Azuma-san, you don’t miss anything.
Azuma	Fufu, it’s not my nature to keep the guests waiting.
Izumi	Alright, let’s see… What should I order.
Guy	There are abundant choices in the menu.
Homare	With this much choice, I won’t be able to decide what to order!
Tasuku	The most popular menu here is Tonkatsu huh…
Izumi	That looks delicious!
Azuma	Other than the set meal, the assorted sashimi seems to have a good reputation as well.
Homare	Since we’re here, let’s order that as well!
Hisoka	Marshmallow…
Tasuku	There’s no such thing obviously.
Tsumugi	No matter where we go, Hisoka-san doesn’t change huh.
Izumi	Ahaha…
Izumi	This is so delicious!
Tsumugi	Just by this, I already understand why there can be a long line outside.
Azuma	I made a reservation because it’s a popular restaurant, but I guess we hit a jackpot on this store.
Tasuku	The sashimi is delicious too.
	You can see the freshness in every one of them.
Hisoka	The squid is so juicy.
Homare	Sounds like it will go well with Japanese Sake.
Azuma	But, Tasuku’s driving so he can’t drink.
	Let’s try to enjoy ourselves without sake today.
Tasuku	You don’t need to mind me, it’s fine if you want to drink you know.
Izumi	Eh? We know you’ll say that but…
Guy	Then, let me drive on the way back.
	That way, Takato can enjoy drinking sake with everyone.
Tasuku	But, Guy-san won’t be able to drink.
Guy	Today is Takato’s birthday celebration, so don’t mind it.
	Anyway, I feel like driving as well.
Azuma	Fufu, since Guy already said that, should we order some Japanese Sake.
Tasuku	…Thank you so much.
Homare	I’m so full.
Izumi	The dishes there were really delicious~
Guy	Yeah. I would like to go again if there’s another chance.
Tasuku	Even so… I ate too much.
Tsumugi	Tasuku’s still the same.
Homare	It’s a celebration, I don’t think you need to mind it!
Hisoka	…Ah.
Izumi	Hisoka-san, what happened?
Hisoka	…This, I forgot about it.

Hisoka	…This, I forgot about it.
Izumi	That is, ‘Hello Celestial Sphere’?
Homare	You brought it with you before you realized huh.
Azuma	As expected of Hisoka, you’re thoughtful.
Tsumugi	This Celestial Sphere, it’s the item that will grant your wish if you make a wish during your birthday…
Hisoka	Yeah. That’s why, Tasuku… Wish for something..
Tasuku	With this timing?
Hisoka	Whatever’s fine.
Tasuku	Even if you say whatever, it’s not that easy.
Azuma	Tasuku’s normally very stoic after all, it’s fine to think of a wish from that perspective isn’t it.
Tasuku	…
	You’re right… Then…
	Hello, the star of Pisces, I want every food to have zero calory.
CHOICE 1: That sounds like Tasuku-san’s wish alright [+] Izumi That sounds like Tasuku-san’s wish alright. Azuma As expected of Tasuku, you are still worried about the calories even when you’re making your wish. Tasuku I ate too much on the store just now. Anyway, if all the food becomes zero calory, I can eat without worrying about the intake right. Hisoka Will you eat a lot of marshmallow as well? Homare Hisoka-kun, even if it’s not zero calory, you always eat the marshmallow as much as you want. Izumi Surely, it sounds good to be able to eat as much as you want without worrying about the calories!
CHOICE 2: Zero calory is dangerous you know! [+] Izumi But, if all the food becomes zero calory, you won’t be able to get any nutrition! Azuma Fufu, that’s true, Director certainly has a point there. Tasuku In that case, it’s not just calories, I should wish so that I can still get the necessary nutrients as well. Guy I see… If that’s the case, then there should be no problem. Tsumugi Even for Tasuku, that’s such a cute wish to make. Tasuku … I was told to make a wish, so I just said mine honestly.
Azuma	Your wish, it will be great if it’s granted.
Izumi	Fufu, it will be great if that wish is granted.
Tasuku	… You’re right.
Tasuku	…Phew.
	(I ended up eating a lot yesterday. I tried making the running distance a bit longer, but…
	I have to reset the protein balance with food I guess)
Tsumugi	Tasuku, good morning.
Tasuku	Yeah, morning.
Tsumugi	Omi-kun has prepared some hot sandwiches.
Tasuku	Hot sandwiches?
Tsumugi	Yeah. He managed to get hold of a hot sandwich maker, and he ended up making a lot of hot sandwich with different ingredients.
	Like Ham and Cheese, Teriyaki Chicken and Mayo, Ebi Shrimp and Avocado, there are a lot of them.
Tasuku	I see, but, I’m thinking of getting rid of protein this morning. I really ate too much yesterday.
Homare	If that’s the case, then there’s no problem!
	The hot sandwich is just putting things together and baking, they are zero calory!
Tasuku	… What are you talking about?
Homare	The calories disappear when you put them together and bake them, that’s why it’s 0 calory!
Tsumugi	Yup yup. Don’t mind it too much, why don’t you try eating it first?
Tasuku	...
Tasuku	(I was able to avoid the hot sandwich in the end, but there’s something wrong with Arisugawa. Tsumugi too…)
Hisoka	Ah, it’s Tasuku..
	Would you like to eat this?
Tasuku	…This marshmallow, why is it crushed?
Hisoka	Once the marshmallow is crushed, it’s 0 calory.
Tasuku	What kind of reasoning is that.
Azuma	Tasuku, how about this donut?
	It’s shaped like a zero, same with the calory…
Guy	If that’s the case, this Baumkuchen with the same shape has 0 calory too.
Tasuku	!?
Homare	Don’t you like Baumkuchen!?
	If not, I have this bagel as well!
Tsumugi	These snacks have holes in the middle, so they’re 0 calory too.
Hisoka	Tasuku, you want marshmallow right?
Tasuku	No—
	(What’s happening here…!?)
Tasuku	Yawn…
	(I saw a terrible dream last night.
	When I thought about it, that might be the work of the Celestial Sphere…
	… Nah, that’s impossible)
Omi	Good morning.
	Breakfast is ready.
Tasuku	Yeah, thank you.
Omi	Alright, I have to prepare the dough…
Tasuku	What happened?.
Omi	I got a request from Muku, so I’m preparing some donuts for snacks.
Tasuku	Donuts…?
Omi	When it’s done, I’ll bring one for you as well.
Tasuku	… By the way, that donut, it’s not zero calory right?
Omi	Eh? What are you talking about?
Tasuku	Nah… It’s nothing.
	Forget about it.
