Part 1Part 2

Yuki	I wonder if I have any shoes that match this outfit I just bought....
Itaru	Yuki? Why are you taking out all your shoes?
Yuki	I'm checking to see if I have any shoes that go with this outfit I bought earlier.
Itaru	You mean the one that you opened in the lounge before? It's pretty chic.
Yuki	Yeah, that one. I'm surprised you remembered.
Itaru	It's because it was a color palette you don't really have.
	So that's why it made a lasting impression on you.
	So, why are you lining the shoes up?
Yuki	I wanna wear this outfit next time, but I'm not sure what kind of shoes go with it.
Itaru	I see. Shoes that go with that outfit... hmm....
Yuki	Huh? Are you actually thinking about it?
Itaru	I actually have experience working customer service at A La Mode, so I thought I'd lend my advice to my cute little sister.
Yuki	But I'm not your little sister.
Itaru	Sadge. Even though we go shopping together and have such a nice sibling relationship.
Yuki	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, I trust in your fashion sense, so for the time being I'll accept your advice.
Itaru	'Kay.
Yuki	...Here's all the shoes I have.
Itaru	There's more than I thought.
Yuki	Because I buy them to match my outfits.
Itaru	Hmm? Oh, these are the ones I bought for you from A La Mode, right?
Yuki	Oh, you're right. Buying them for me was a great help, since there were a lot that I wanted. So, which one do you think matches?
Itaru	Hmm....
	Of the shoes here, I think this pair on the left or this pair in the back.
Yuki	As I thought... I would have picked from that side, too. It's not great, but it's the best we've got.
Itaru	Felt that. None of these shoes really match.
	It would be better if the pair at the end were in a slightly darker shade, and the shape of the pair in the back doesn't match super well.
Yuki	I agree. That's why I'm kinda at a loss.
Itaru	But it won't look strange if you pair either of these shoes with the outfit, so you don't have to do the impossible.
Yuki	I know that, but... I guess I'll have to go and buy shoes to match new clothes again.
Itaru	If that's the case, I think the shoes at A La Mode would be up to standard for you.
	I went there the other day on my sister's orders... I feel like there's a few shoes there that might match.
Yuki	Hmm, really? Thanks for the intel. I might go there soon.
Itaru	In exchange for the intel, how about you call me "big bro?"
Yuki	Ew. It cost you zero dollars to not say that.
Itaru	I'm just kidding. Please don't look at me like I'm some weird bug.
Yuki	Then maybe don't make weird jokes.
	(...If I go all the way to A La Mode, I might as well use it for my showcase video.)
	(I like the store, and since we did a shoot there before with VELUDO I feel like it's easy to get permission to record.)

Muku	I didn't think that you were going to choose to showcase A La Mode.
Yuki	Really? I've bought shoes from here before.
Muku	Oh, right! Now that I think about it, you were checking the in-stock information beforehand, right?
Yuki	Right, because I like the shoes the have here. Well then, let's get started with filming.
Muku	We're gonna start filming already?
Yuki	I think it's okay. I already confirmed it with the staff.
Muku	Alright then, let's start!
Yuki	Hello. This is Rurikawa Yuki of MANKAI Company's Summer Troupe, and I'll be in charge of showcasing today.
	The one filming for me is Muku.
Muku	Hello, I'm Muku of Summer Troupe. Pleased to be working with you.
Yuki	I'll get started right away.
	Because it was featured in VELUDO, there are probably lots of people who already know about it....
	The place I'm introducing is the shoe store, A La Mode.
	By the way, Muku was on the cover of that issue of VELUDO.
Muku	Yup, I was on the cover together with Spring Troupe's Itaru-san.
	Do you come to this shoe store often?
Yuki	Kinda. I check it out whenver there's new pieces or a restock.
Muku	Speaking of which, you've also asked Itaru-san to get some shoes from here for you before.
Yuki	I was lucky that the day of the VELUDO shoot happened to be the day they restocked.
	At any rate, it's good because they often have stock of shoes that are sold out at other stores.
	And the shoes are high quality, not to mention well designed....
	I also get inspiration for costumes from browsing.
Muku	Really? I didn't know that! So are there any shoes here that catch your eye?
Yuki	Hmm, I think....
	Ah, this one.
	The ones in this area are A La Mode originals....
	It's a design you won't find anywhere else, and even the heel is beautiful.
Muku	Yeah, I think it would look good on you!
Yuki	Right? Ah, I think the shoes next to them would look good on you, Muku.
Muku	Would such nice shoes really look good on me...?
Yuki	If I'm saying it, then of course it would.
	Oh, and these shoes have an unusual color combination, it's cute....
	If I film myself shopping it'll take a long time, so I'll end the showcase here.
	Just looking at the shoes here is a lot of fun, so if you'd like, come visit A La Mode.
Muku	Good work, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	Good work to you too.
Muku	Are you actually going to buy the shoes?
Yuki	Of course. But first I'll look around at the rest of the shoes, I plan to buy a few more pairs.
Muku	Okay, let's do it!
Muku	You bought quite a lot, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	I think I bought a little too much.... It's a good thing I wanted shoes to match my new outfit.
	I didn't think you'd buy something as well.
Muku	I thought I'd buy the pair that you recommended while we were filming, since you said it would look good on me.
Yuki	I see. Those shoes really would look good on you, so you made the right decision to buy them.
	...But carrying these home is kinda troublesome.
Muku	Yeah....
Yuki	Should we call Tasuku or Omi to help us carry our stuff?
Muku	Huh?! I mean, the two of them said they'd be at the dorm today, but will they really come?
Yuki	At least one of them will. I'll LIME them.
Yuki	Attached the video, now the candid shot....
Itaru	Which candid shot are you going to chose?
Yuki	I'm torn between these two.
Itaru	I recommend this one.
Yuki	Alright, then I'll pick this one.

Itaru	It's a good thing you picked this candid.
Yuki	Where did that come from?
Itaru	The comments are liking it.
Yuki	There's already comments?
Itaru	Look.
Yuki	Huh, it's true. Everyone's really happy....
	I'll praise you, but only for your sense in picking photos.
Itaru	You're praise is my honor. So... you should call me "big bro," as a gift.
Yuki	Uh-huh, sure.
