{{Line|character=Izumi|border=izumi|dialogue=Student...}}
{{Line|character=Kazunari|border=kazunari|dialogue=What's up with that, you're into that kind of roleplay?}}

{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=That’s what you’re saying, yet you’re sitting down next to me.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=I was thinking that it’d be good if we were late together and they got angry at you.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Huh?}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=This is payback for just now when you didn’t deny that I was dating a high school girl.}}

{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=Yeah, me too.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Haha. We sure have matured.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=You may be right. But… well. With Director——}}
