{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I'm home.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Chikage-san, welcome home.}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=Chikage, look at this!}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=This is... a picture of a Hina doll? <ref>A Hina doll is a doll that people use as decoration during Girl's Day in Japan (3/3)</ref>}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Yeah. The manager is lending them to other theater groups right now, but it seems like he left reference photos behind.}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=I told him that I wanted to see them! Hina dolls are so cute♪}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Are you interested in it, too? This Hina doll.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=There's no way I would be interested in this tasteless doll.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=It's not tasteless! It's such a pretty Japanese doll.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=Rather, I'm surprised that something like this was here.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=It seems like it was previously used as a small prop for a play.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=... This weird thing shouldn't have anything to do with an all-men place.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=I mean, this place is full of people who love seasonal events, so it's a little late to think that.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I guess that's true.}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=This one is holding a watering can. They're a garden caretaker like Tsumugi, too!}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I think that's a hisage. It's a type of chōshi. <ref>A chōshi is a sake decanter. A hisage is a ceremonial sake decanter that has a spout and a handle</ref>}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=Oh, this one is holding a ladle.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=That's a chōshi with a long handle. You're supposed to use that to serve people alcohol.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=To think the culture of pouring alcohol for other people existed since this kimono era. It's abuse of authority.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=But it might not be compulsory!}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Actually, Senpai, you're pretty well-informed. ...  Did you say before that you have a female sibling?}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I did... I do have one.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Huuh?}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Huuh!?}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I share a younger sister with you, Chigasaki.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=... Ahh...}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=?}}{{Line|border=izumi|dialogue=... Whaa!? You were talking about ''that''!?}}{{Line|border=izumi|dialogue=(I just remembered that both Itaru-san and Chikage-san have told their colleagues from work that I'm their younger sister...!)}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=Haha, kidding. Well, I just have the general knowledge, or more like, the amount of information a regular person would have on Hina dolls.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Are you for real. I have an older sister, and I feel like we decorated with Hina dolls, but I didn't know ''that'' much.}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=Chikage is belligerent~.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=I'm guessing you mean intelligent.}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=Yeah, that one!}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=... Ah, right. I'm sorry to change the conversation, but about tomorrow's practice.}}{{Line|border=izumi|dialogue=Because of a different appointment I have, I'd like to start practice a little earlier than usual, but is that okay with everyone else?}}{{Line|character=Citron|border=citron|dialogue=I'm okay with it!}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=My workload is pretty calm right now, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to leave on time.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=Yeah, me too.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Thank you so much! But, don't push yourselves, okay.}}

{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=(Work ended on schedule. If I go home now, I should make it in time for practice.)}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=(... Hm? The person approaching me is... the head of Chigasaki's section?)}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=Hello, Utsuki-kun. Good work. Are you heading home now?}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=(This is definitely... going to turn into something annoying. I'll evade him by saying whatever.)}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=Yes, I am. I was planning on heading home early today, so I cleaned up a bit more work than usual yesterday.}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=I see, that's perfect. Want to have a drink with me?}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=Haha, I would love to, but I have a prior engagement today.}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=Isn't it fine? I'd also like to hear about your, um... complicated relationship with our Chigasaki-kun.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=(If I remember correctly, this person thinks the Director is my fiancee and Chigasaki's ex-girlfriend.)}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=(''*sigh*'' Everyone here loves gossip...)}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=I noticed during a previous company-wide drinking party, but the sake tastes better when you pour it, Utsuki-kun.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=(This is starting to seem like the story of the three court ladies from yesterday. Jeez...)}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=I'm sorry, but my family is waiting for me.}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=F-Family...?}}{{Line|border=other|dialogue=I-I see... So that's how it was. I did something rude.}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=No, I'm sorry that our schedules couldn't match up. I would love to join you on a different day.}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=Well then, I'll be excusing myself.}}{{Line}}{{Line|border=chikage|dialogue=I'm home.}}{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Ah, Chikage-san, welcome home.

Did you say something weird to my boss yesterday?}}{{Line|character=Chikage|border=chikage|dialogue=Something weird?}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Truth is——.}}{{Line}}{{Line|dialogue=<i>''*flashback*''</i>}}{{Line}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=Chigasaki-kun.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=Boss? Is there something wrong?}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=Yesterday, I talked to Utsuki-kun, but——.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=(With Senpai? I have a bad feeling about this.)}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=He got married, huh.}}{{Line|character=Itaru|border=itaru|dialogue=(!? Somehow things just got even more complicated...)}}{{Line|character=Togawa|border=other|dialogue=Well, if it's him, I'm sure he'll make her very happy.
