| Yuki | We’re back. |
| Izumi | Oh. Nothing happened to you guys, right? I was about to go there. |
| Kazunari | We found the hat. |
| Misumi | Koro was the one who found it~. |
| Koro | Woof! |
| Kumon | He did an excellent job. |
| Izumi | Really? That’s great. |
| Yuki | Sighs… I’m beat. |
| Izumi | Good work. |
| Hato | If you like, you can eat here before going home. I’ll place an order at the nearby restaurant. Their food is good, you see. |
| Kumon | Yeay! |
| Misumi | I’m hungry~! |
| *door bell rings* |
| Hato | Oh. I guess they’re here. |
| Izumi | Let me help you carry them. |
| Tenma | Me too. |
| Kumon | Me too~. |
| Kazunari | Let’s prepare some drinks in the meantime, then. |
| Misumi | Okay~. |
| Muku | You must be tired, today, huh, given all that happened. |
| Yuki | Same goes for you. |
| Muku | Do you think that hat is fixable? |
| Yuki | More or less. |
| While it’s true that I don’t have any particular memory of the hat… |
| I got to know a profession called designer for the first time after making this hat. |
| If it were the child me, I have no doubt I would choose the fashion designer path. |
| But now there’s a part of me who wants to continue acting. |
| That’s why I don’t really know what to write in my career survey. |
| Muku | I see… But you’re not the only one, because I, too, am still unsure of what I want to do in the future. |
| I thought I should just go to uni after graduating high school, but that changed when I saw you seriously giving it a thought. I was like, “Is this really okay?” |
| I got anxious. I felt ashamed of myself. |
| But after talking with Kyuchan, I realized that it’s fine even if you’re still unsure right now. |
| We still have time. There’s no need to rush things. |
| If there are people who already decide what they want to do from the start, there are also people who still need time to think before making their decision. |
| Everyone has their own pace, so you don’t need to make your decision right now. |
| Yuki | We still have time… I see. |
| (I guess I was rushing things.) |
| (I’ll have more opportunities to choose in the future, and even if those choices are there in front of me, it’s not like I have to make my decision right away.) |
| I’ve made up my mind. Because both are important to me, I won’t pick just one now. |
| Besides, I believe there will come a day when I can clearly decide what I want to do. |
| Muku | You really are cool, Yuki-kun. |
| Yuki | (…Which one is cool now.) |
| Koro | Woof woof! |
| Muku | Ah, are you done with your meal? Let’s play a bit. |
| Koro | Arf! |
| Muku | I’m throwing it~. |
| Koro | Woof! |
| Yuki | Two puppies… Pome and toy poodle. |
| –. |
| I like that idea. |
| Misumi | Hm~? What are you drawing? |
| Yuki | Some stuff. |
| |
 |
| Yuki | Is everyone here? |
| Izumi | Yep. I think so. |
| Yuki | I’ve decided on a theme for our next play. |
| Kumon | Seriously?! |
| Misumi | What is it? What is it? |
| Tenma | What kind of frills will it be… |
| Yuki | I wanna do this. |
| Tenma | …Huh? |
| Kazunari | Doggies? |
| Yuki | Well. Per your request, I’ve decided to pick dogs as the theme. |
| Kumon | We can use Rento-san’s dogs sound effects with this! |
| Tsuzuru | I know, right. By the way, have you decided what kind of dogs each of you will be? |
| Yuki | Only the lead and co-lead roles. The lead will be a pomeranian, while the co-lead will be a toy poodle. |
| Muku | In that case, Yuki is the pomeranian and the toy poodle… |
| Misumi | Stares… |
| Kazunari | It’s decided, then. |
| Kumon | Yep, yep. |
| Tenma | Yeah. |
| Muku | What?! Me?! |
| Yuki | Because we’re going to perform a dog-themed play, we have to make the visuals super cute. With that said, the two of us are just the right persons for that. |
| Muku | I-I wonder about that. But… I’ll do my best! |
| Tenma | Still… I was surprised you didn’t go for frilly costumes. |
| Yuki | Well, I do like cute costumes with laces and ribbons. |
| And truthfully, I was itching to make you all wear skirts. I couldn’t throw that idea away. |
| Tenma | All of us?! |
| Izumi | That’s new. |
| Yuki | But when I put our usual plays into consideration, I thought it would not really fit. |
| Izumi | (Yuki-kun isn’t only a designer, but he’s also our troupe’s actor and staff.) |
| (I’m sure it was the actor in him who concluded that such a theme would not reflect Summer Troupe’s overall vibes.) |
| Yuki | But I still want the whole play to be cute, so write a good one, alright? |
| Tsuzuru | Sure. Leave it to me. |
| Yuki | Oh, and also, it doesn’t mean I’m going to put aside the frilly costumes altogether, alright? I still want to make it happen one day. |
| Tenma | So you’re still gonna do it in the end… |
| |
 |
| Yuki | … |
| Izumi | Huh? What are you doing here, Yuki-kun? |
| Yuki | …This. |
| Izumi | Career survey? That sure takes me back. So you’re already in that period now, huh. |
| Yuki | While I want to further my study in fashion, I also want to continue acting… I can’t decide on one now. |
| Besides, I’m still in my second year. I actually want to just write, “undecided,” but I have a feeling my mom and my homeroom teacher won’t let me get away with that. |
| Izumi | I think you should just write, “undecided.” |
| That’s the only thing you can write if you’re still unsure, anyway. |
| And it’s not like you’re not giving it a thought at all. So just make sure to write that in your survey. |
| If you’re pondering about something, it shows how important that something means to you–it shows how seriously you take it. |
| The adults may be worried because they have experienced a lot. But… |
| I’m sure they will understand. You’re mature for your age, and you’re the type who will take actions based on what you have decided. |
| Yuki | You’re also an adult, though. |
| Oh, well. Whatever. I’m gonna write, “undecided.” |
| Izumi | That word is filled with all kinds of futures. I can’t wait to see yours! |
| Yuki | …For some reason, I feel stupid for worrying about such a thing. |
| Izumi | Huh? But why? |
| Yuki | Never mind. |
