| Yuki | … |
| Mirai | How nice. Mi-chan wants to be as cute as Yuki-chan too… |
| Taichi | H-Hey, Mi-chan, Ma-kun, go get your snacks from mom! |
| Mirai | We’ll eat them here! |
| Taichi | We’ve got so much to talk about, you see! |
| Mirai | Eeeeh… |
| Taichi | We’ll continue later! |
| Mirai | It’s not fair! Only onii-chan gets to talk to Yuki-chan. |
| Taichi | I’ll treat you guys to ice cream later! |
| Mirai | Seriously!? Yeaaay! |
| Masato | I want soft serve. |
| Taichi | Okay, okay. I’ll buy it later! |
| Yuki | … |
| Taichi | So, sorry… They were noisy. |
| Yuki | It’s all right. I got to remember something important thanks to them. |
| Taichi | Something important? |
| Yuki | … |
| I’ve told you I joined a designer trial class the other day, right? |
| You see, the class was packed with high school students studying fashion professionally--. |
| |
| Sawatari | Ah, is this your design? |
| Yuki | Yes. |
| Sawatari | I expect no less from someone who’s in charge of the costumes in a theater company. Your skill is in professional level. |
| But… if we look at it from a fashion designer’s perspective, it’s a little bit rough around the edges. |
| You’re still young. If you don’t try to make a design that emphasizes the clothes a little bit more, you’ll be overshadowed by the others. |
| Yuki | … |
| |
| There were also people who are the same age as me, and they could make a high fashion clothing and costumes. I couldn’t lose to them. |
| Moreover, given that this play is using fashion as its theme, I have to make fancy clothes. If they aren’t fancy, they’re unacceptable. |
| Before I knew it, I kept feeling the need to make a costume that I could be satisfied of. |
| I couldn’t make costumes based on the most important features of the “actor.” |
| Actors aren’t mannequins. I make costumes for the actors and the play, not the other way around. |
| I’m not a fashion designer who makes clothes for strangers. I’m the designer of MANKAI Company. |
| First and foremost, I had to think about what kind of clothes I should make for both the play and the actors standing on stage, and yet… |
| Taichi | Yuki-chan… |
| It would actually be great if I could pull off the costume that Yuki-chan wanted to make, huh… |
| Yuki | It’s not about the fancy costumes that I want to make. It’s about costumes that will suit you, Taichi, and other company members. |
| My eyes have been opened. I’ll certainly make a costume that will suit you and make you shine the brightest on stage. |
| Taichi | --. |
| I will also be the best model that can make your costume shine the brightest, Yuki-chan! |
| Let’s do our best, Yuki-chan! |
| Mirai | Mi-chan has brought mom’s sweets! |
| Mi-chan wants to talk to Yuki-chan tooo! Let’s eat them together here! |
| Taichi | Eh, eh, but we’re still talking about something important… |
| Mirai | ...So it’s a no? |
| Yuki | It’s fine. |
| Mirai | Yeaaaay! |
| Hey, hey, this bear bag looks cute! Where did you buy it? |
| Yuki | I made it myself. |
| Mirai | That’s amazing! It’s cute! |
| Do you see Mi-chan’s hair accessories right here? It’s also cute, right? |
| Yuki | The color is beautiful. |
| Mirai | Yes! Mom bought it for Mi-chan! |
| Yuki | You should treasure it then. |
| Mirai | Mi-chan also has a skirt with the same color~. |
| Yuki | I think it’ll look nice if you pair them up. |
| Taichi | I can’t join this girls talk… |
| Mirai | That’s right! You should show Yuki-chan the treasure you cherish so much, onii-chan! |
| Yuki | Treasure? |
| Taichi | Whoa! That!! |
| Mirai | Look at this, Yuki-chan! |
| Taichi | Wait up, wait up!! |
| Yuki | ....What’s this? Knitting wool? |
| Mirai | This is onii-chan’s lucky charm! It’s a scarf! |
| Yuki | --. |
| |
| It’s done! |
| Yuki’s Mom | Oh my, it came out well. The gradation is beautiful. |
| Yuki | I’m going to give it to chibi. |
| Yuki’s Mom | His name is Taichi-kun, you know, not chibi. Good grief… I’m sure he’ll be happy. |
| |
| Taichi | Eh!? Are you giving it to me? |
| Yuki | Yes! I made this scarf for chi… Taichi! I think this red scarf will suit you, Taichi! |
| Taichi | Thanks! Yuki-chan--. |
| Yuki | (Could it be the chibi from before is...) |
| … |
| Taichi | Yu, Yuki-chan…? What’s wrong? |
| Yuki | ...No, it’s nothing. |
