Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun, thank you for shopping with me.
Tsuzuru	No worries. I don't have anything to do anyway.
Izumi	Thank you for helping me carry the bags. I'm glad I was able to buy lots of stuff on sale!
Tsuzuru	Well, I can't let the director carry these huge amounts of bags all alone.
Cakeshop Employee	Welcome~!
	Freshly-baked cakes are on the racks!
Izumi	Woah, the cake looks delicious.
Tsuzuru	Indeed, they look delicious.
Izumi	Hmm.... I want to buy one to take home but we're carrying lots of bags already. Maybe, I'll just get it next time.
Tsuzuru	Certainly, both our hands are full.
Izumi	All of them look super delicious.
	The whole cake is splendid.
	Speaking of, Tsuzuru-kun, your birthday is coming soon, right?
Tsuzuru	Yes. I'm glad you remembered.
Izumi	There's no way I'll forget about it!
Tsuzuru	I was told to pick a place I wanted to visit with everyone in the Spring Troupe for my birthday but I still can't come up with anything.
Izumi	How about going somewhere you wouldn't normally visit?
Tsuzuru	Indeed...Hmm...
Misumi	Ah! Director-san, Tsuzuru~!
Izumi	Misumi-kun, what are you doing here?
Misumi	I'm looking around with this kitty today.
	It's a newbie I recently became friends with!
Cat	Nya~n.
Tsuzuru	Woah?
Izumi	It's rubbing Tsuzuru-kun's feet!
Misumi	Seems like the kitty's taken a liking to Tsuzuru~
Tsuzuru	Is that so?
Cat	Nya~wn.
Misumi	Tsuzuru, the kitty wants you to pet them.
Tsuzuru	Eh? Like this?
Cat	Purrrr....
Izumi	Ahaha, the cat is purring.
Misumi	Tsuzuru, you're doing great!
Tsuzuru	I didn't have many opportunities to interact with animals like this. It's small and cute.
Izumi	I heard that animals can recognize people who like them.
Misumi	I see~ That's why it's friendly with Tsuzuru!
Cat	Nya~!
Izumi	Ahaha, it's responding.
Izumi	Ah, they're featuring a cat cafe on TV.
Sakuya	They’re soooo cute, aren’t they?
Citron	Animals are amazing! I am healed~!
Tsuzuru	........
Citron	You think so too, Tsuzuru, right?
Tsuzuru	Eh? Well, yeah....
Citron	I'm dying to see Juliano!
Tsuzuru	Juliano is indeed a cat but he's on an entirely different level.
	But I agree, cat cafes seem to give a sense of healing.
Izumi	Tsuzuru got along with a cat today.
Sakuya	Is that so?
Izumi	The cat was introduced by Misumi-kun.
Citron	That’s it! I came up with a good idea!

Citron	Fufufu...Let's celebrate Tsuzuru's birthday in a cat cafe!
Tsuzuru	Cat cafe!?
Sakuya	Sounds great!
Tsuzuru	I mean, It's interesting but....
Citron	Tsuzuru, it will take you forever to decide if you don't do it now.
Izumi	Well, you have a point....
Citron	In such circumstances, I shall decide in your stead.
Tsuzuru	Don't force things on me!
Sakuya	What do you think, Tsuzuru-kun?
Tsuzuru	.......
Sakuya	Ahaha, come here.
Citron	Oh~! The kitty climbed on my shoulder!
Itaru	Look, it's over here. Now, here. Haha, it’s punching the cat toy relentlessly.
Masumi	....You, get off from the director's lap.
Citron	Masumi is jellos of a cat!
Tsuzuru	You mean, jealous?
Izumi	Ahaha....
Itaru	Senpai, why are you secluding yourself over there?
	Come here. Join us.
Chikage	No, thanks. I'm still drinking my coffee so I'll just watch from here.
Itaru	You look calm outside but absolutely despise it deep inside.
Chikage	Then don't ask if you already know the answer.
Tsuzuru	Chikage-san, I'm sorry for making you join us even though you're not good with animals.
Chikage	Well, I can't help it. Everyone wants to come here so badly.
	Besides, it's Tsuzuru's birthday celebration. Please enjoy yourself. Don't worry about me.
Tsuzuru	Your smile is scaring me.
Izumi	The cats don't really come close to Chikage-san, do they?
Itaru	Isn't it because he's emitting an ominous aura?
Citron	The kitties can feel it!
Chikage	At least these cats can read the atmosphere better than Chigasaki.
Sakuya	Meanwhile, the cats are all over Tsuzuru-kun!
CHOICE 1: "He's very popular" [+] Izumi Tsuzuru-kun is very popular. Citron What a heartthrob! Tsuzuru Well, I don't hate it. Sakuya How nice~! I want to be surrounded like that too! Chikage I don't think his situation is enviable. Izumi I feel like we just discovered Tsuzuru's hidden talent. Tsuzuru Is being popular with cats a talent? Citron Tsuzuru can be a cat tamer! Itaru Oh, that job sounds fun. Sakuya I wonder if the cats from all over the town will come to you when you walk down the streets? Tsuzuru That's kind of scary though....
CHOICE 2: "Tsuzuru-kun is surrounded by cats" [+] Izumi Tsuzuru-kun is surrounded by cats..... Itaru Are you sure it's not because Tsuzuru-kun smells like catnip? Tsuzuru I doubt that is the reason. Izumi But it seems like they like you as much as they like catnips. Citron The cats are looking at Tsuzuru as if they were entranced by him! Chikage I won't be able to last for 5 seconds. Itaru You've got nothing to worry about. Cats don't bother to approach you, senpai. You'll be fine. Cat Nya-. Izumi The cats are rubbing on Tsuzuru-kun! Citron There's no doubt about it! Tsuzuru is the reincarnation of a catnip! Tsuzuru Like hell I am!
Izumi	Phew~ I am healed!
Masumi	I want to lie on your lap. Hey, pet me.
Itaru	Stop it. Stop it.
Chikage	Thank you, Tsuzuru. It was a good learning experience for me.
Sakuya	Ah, right....
	Tsuzuru-kun, have you decided what to wish for on the Celestial Sphere?
Tsuzuru	Come to think of it, I have to do that too.....
	I can't come up with anything at all.
Citron	Tsuzuru, you have to make a wish. Look, the Celestial Sphere is right here.
Izumi	I didn't notice at all!?
Chikage	Where in the world did you pull that out from?
Tsuzuru	Hmm...Let's see.
	If anything...I want to keep a pet.
Itaru	What an average wish to make on the Celestial Sphere.
Tsuzuru	When we went to the cat cafe today, I realized how it feels like to be healed again.
Citron	So Kamekichi is not powerful enough.
Chikage	You consider "that" a pet?
Izumi	Kind of?
Masumi	Your presence is more than enough to heal me.
Itaru	Makes sense. Tsuzuru was so popular at the cat cafe today after all.
Tsuzuru	What's so wrong with that? Anyone is free to make any wishes they want!
Izumi	If Tsuzuru-kun truly wishes for it, I think anything's fine. Why not make that wish on the Celestial Sphere?
Tsuzuru	.....Alright.
	Then---

Tsuzuru	Fuah.....
	Masumi...? What are you doing.....
???	......
Tsuzuru	Ha?! Why is there a deer in my room....?
Masumi?	.....What are you mumbling about?
Tsuzuru	That voice....Masumi?
	No, no, no... There's no way it's possible.
Masumi?	What now?
Tsuzuru	But that voice....
	....Are you Masumi?
Masumi	I am. Got a problem with that?
Tsuzuru	( W-what in the world is happening!?)
	( I have to let everyone know...)
Citron?	Oh--! Good morning, Tsuzuru!
Tsuzuru	Citron-san, you won't believe me but Masumi is...!
Citron?	What happened to Masumi?
Tsuzuru	!? An A-alpaca!?
Sakuya?	Ah, Tsuzuru-kun. Good morning.
Chikage?	You woke up pretty late today.
Tsuzuru	W.....Why does everyone look like that?
Sakuya?	What are you talking about?
Citron?	Our appearance is completely normal.
Tsuzuru	There's definitely nothing normal about your appearance right now!
Itaru?	That aside, I'm hungry. Tsuzuru is in charge of today's breakfast.
Tsuzuru	Eh!? Breakfast!?
	( What should I prepare though...?
	Perhaps, grass or something similar ....!?)
Itaru?	Crap, I'm running late to work.
Chikage?	Speaking of, you have a morning meeting today.
Tsuzuru	Are you going to work?
Itaru?	Of course. Don't look down on a salaryman.
Sakuya?	Ah, should I help you out?
Citron?	I want a sunny side up for breakfast!
Tsuzuru	Rather ..... how did I end up in this kind of situation in the first place!
Tsuzuru	....!
Masumi	What do you want?
Tsuzuru	He's not a deer....
Masumi	Deer? What are you talking about?
Tsuzuru	Don’t mind me....
	( Was it a dream....? Why would I dream about that of all things…?)
	( I suppose it's because I made a wish to the Celestial Sphere about wanting to keep a pet....)
	( But still.... That dream felt so real)
	......
Masumi	What now?
	Do I have something on my face?
Tsuzuru	It's not like that....
	I was just relieved that Masumi is still Masumi.
Masumi	Ha? You're not making any sense at all.
