Tenma	Snzz…
	Mm…
	...It’s morning?
	(Looks like Yuki already left. Come to think of it, he did mention he was going shopping with Banri-san.)
	I was up late filming yesterday, so I guess I slept in…
	(But I don’t have class, or work today, I’m completely free. Should I spend some time in my room?)
Tenma	Good morning.
Izumi	Oh, Tenma-kun. Good morning.
Kazunari	Morning~.Tenten, you’re up late today~.
Tenma	Filming wrapped up late last night.
Misumi	Tenma works hard~.
Tenma	Yeah. Though, I am off today.
Kazunari	What! Tenten’s off today? Well then, why don’t you come shopping?!
Tenma	Shopping?
Misumi	We’re about to go with Director-san~.
Izumi	There’s a bunch of sales today and I have a lot to buy!
Tenma	You’re really pumped up…
Izumi	But, today is Tenma-kun’s day off. I understand if you’d prefer to just rest.
Misumi	Eh~. Tenma won’t you come~? We can all go together!
Tenma	...Well, I guess I haven’t helped out much with errands recently. I’ll join you.
Misumi	Yay~!
Kazunari	Yay! Let’s go!
Izumi	Tenma-kun, are you sure? You were planning on resting…
Tenma	It’s fine, I’m pretty strong so it’s not like I’m worn out.
Kazunari	As expected of Tenten!
Izumi	Thank you. We’ll head out after Tenma-kun finishes his breakfast, then.
Tenma	Alright.
Misumi	Let’s go shopping everyone!
Izumi	Cabbage, radishes, green onions, carrots…
Kazunari	Apples, bananas, and oranges! The fruit is perfect!
Misumi	We bought a lot~!
Izumi	Plus, with Tenma-kun, our bargain shopping power has increased 100%~.
Tenma	Hmph, obviously.
Kazunari	The ladies who recognized Tenten helped us out a lot! That’s a celebrity for you!
Misumi	That’s our Tenma~. Amazing! Pat pat~.
Tenma	S-Stop that! You’re messing up my hair!
Misumi	Ehehe~.
Tenma	Jeez. So, where are we going next?
Izumi	Um, next is the pharmacy...Ah!
Tenma	? What’s wrong?

Izumi	I forgot about a limited sale at the supermarket, it’s just a short walk away...!
Tenma	Huh!? The supermarket again!?
Izumi	The supermarket had vegetables, but the ground meat is really its star item.
	Sakyo-san told me when we were looking at the flyer.
Kazunari	Ooo~, classic Frooch-san! Checking flyers like a pro!
Misumi	He’s always checking them out with Director-san and Omi~.
Izumi	Tenma-kun also wants to eat his favorite, hamburger steak, right?
Tenma	Uh, how old do you think I am? I’m not an elementary school kid.
Kazunari	But it’s true that you wanna eat it!
Tenma	.....
Izumi	But what should we do? If we go to the pharmacy now, we’ll miss out on the limited sale…
Kazunari	Then Director-chan can go there with Tenten!
	Splitting up is the smartest plan, and we’re talking a limited sale, Tenten’s company is a must have!
Misumi	Yep yep. Leave the pharmacy to us~.
Izumi	Alright, then I ask for your help.
Kazunari	Okie! Tenten, don’t get lost~.
Tenma	I’m not going to!
Kazunari	Well, we’ll call you later! Fight on, you two!
Misumi	We’re off~!
Tenma	Are we almost there?
Izumi	Yeah, just a bit further.
	It’s a supermarket we don’t go to often, so we have to be careful not to get lost…
Tenma	Hmph.
	Director, hand me those bags. I’ll carry them.
Izumi	But Tenma-kun is already carrying some, it’ll be too much.
Tenma	It’s alright. It’s no different from my usual weight training.
	So it’s okay, hand them over.
Izumi	Well then, I accept your offer.
Tenma	Mhm.
CHOICE 1: You’re very reliable. [+] Izumi That’s Tenma-kun, always so reliable~. Tenma Hmph, obviously. Whether it’s a play or just everyday things like this, you can always count on me. I’ll always be there to help, Director. Izumi Thank you, Tenma-kun.
CHOICE 2: It’s nice to take a walk sometimes. [+] Izumi It’s nice to go on walks like this sometimes. Tenma Yeah. I usually go by car, but when I’m walking, I can discover all sorts of things. It’s a nice change of pace. Izumi I agree. Tenma Also...It’s pretty fun to walk and chat like this with you. On my off days, let’s go walking or shopping together. Izumi Thank you. I’d like to go to Tenma-kun’s favorite stores and places. Tenma Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.

Izumi	Oh, we’ll be there soon! I’m glad I read the map properly~.
Tenma	Yeah.
Elderly Woman	.....
Tenma	...Hm?
	(A keychain? Did someone drop this?)
Elderly Woman	.....
Tenma	(It must belong to that elderly woman who passed by just now.)
	....’scuse me.
	Ma’am, is this yours?
Elderly Woman	Eh?
	Oh my! I didn’t notice. This is a special gift from my grandchildren.
	Thank you~.
Tenma	Mhm.
	(Good, I’m glad I was able to return it.)
	(I’ve lost sight of the Director...Now that I think of it, did I tell her I was going after that lady to return something?)
	(I guess she went ahead without noticing...)
	...Well, she couldn’t have gone too far. I think I’ll be able to catch up quickly.
Tenma	...Ugh, where am I!
	(I thought I was walking along the street, how did I get in a back alley like this….!?)
	(The sale is time restricted, I really don’t want to waste any more time...)
	...No, wait. I should just try and call her. I was so desperate to catch up, I completely forgot.
	(Missed call from the Director… I didn’t even notice. I should call back immediately...)
	*phone buzzes*
Tenma	...U-Uwa?! ….Director’s calling?
	Hello.
Izumi	”Hey, Tenma-kun? Where are you?”
Tenma	...Sorry, I got lost.
Izumi	”It’s okay. I’m sorry too. I didn’t realize Tenma-kun wasn’t with me.”
	”Can you see any landmarks?”
Tenma	One sec, let me walk out onto the main street..
Tenma	Okay. Where’s a landmark…
Yuki	...Is that?
Banri	Tenma?
Yuki	What are you doing here.
Tenma	Yuki…!? And Banri-san!
Kazunari	Tenten, seriously~! Like I predicted, your no sense of direction got you really lost!
Banri	I didn’t expect Tenma to come out from a place like that. I was shocked too.
Yuki	I nearly mistook him for someone else.
Misumi	Tenma, how cute~.
Tenma	.....
Izumi	Okay, okay. In the end Yuki-kun and Banri-san guided him, I was able to join them, and we made it to the limited sale together on time!
	I’m really sorry I didn’t notice you were gone.
Tenma	No, it’s my fault too.
Kazunari	Well, Tenten’s sense of direction can’t be helped!
Yuki	Should we attach a GPS to him from now on?
Tenma	You guys! Don’t be stupid!!
