Izumi	Azuma-san, have you been to this country before?
Azuma	Of course. I’ve been here many times.
Izumi	You mentioned that you like travelling, yeah.
	(As expected of him, huh. He’s traveled overseas many times before. But somehow it seems like he would fit in in all countries…)
	By the way, what do you plan to do after this?
Azuma	Since I’m here, there’s a fragrance shop that I have to stop by. That’s why I was thinking of going there.
	If it’s okay with you, Director, would you like to come with me?
Izumi	Is that okay?
	(I have a feeling that the shop patronized by Azuma-san is expensive, though. But I might as well go since we’re already here, and I’m also kind of interested…)
	Well then, please let me go with you.
Azuma	That’s great. Let’s head there now.
Izumi	Waah…!
	(I’d imagined what it would look like, but as expected, the shop’s interior is amazing too…! It’s extravagant, and gives off a very refined feeling…!)
	It smells really good, huh. …Um, huh, Azuma-san?
Azuma	I’m over here. Director, here, come in.
Izumi	S-Sorry! I really don’t come to places like this often so I was really surprised, that’s why…
Azuma	Fufu, the interior of the shop is amazing too, right? I like it too.
Staff Member	Yukishiro.
Azuma	《Ahh, hello. It’s been a while, hasn’t it.》
Staff Member	《Oh, that girl is——》
Izumi	(Amazing, Azuma-san is talking to the staff in the local language. The staff seems to know Azuma-san, too.)
Azuma	Director, sorry for making you wait.
Izumi	Not at all. It seems like you had an enjoyable conversation. Do you know each other?
Azuma	We’re acquaintances, I guess. I’ve been here many times, so it seems that they remember me.
Izumi	That’s amazing…! That means you’re a regular customer. Also, you seem to be used to conversing with them…
Azuma	I’m only proficient enough to hold everyday conversations, though.
	So, the person I was talking to just now. They looked at you and asked if you were my lover.
Izumi	Eh!
Azuma	Fufu. You’re red, really, you’re cute, Director.
Izumi	Really, stop teasing me…!
Azuma	Sorry, sorry. Well then, shall we look around the shop?

Azuma	Nonetheless, I’ve already decided on what perfume to buy from here, so I came here today to collect it.
	Therefore, while I’m waiting for it, I’ll help choose a perfume that suits you.
Izumi	Eh?! I couldn’t possibly make you…!
	(That’s definitely going to be expensive! I understand that even without looking at the price tags…!)
Azuma	I was thinking that this would help to pass the time while waiting, so don’t worry about it. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
	Ah, look… How’s this one?
Izumi	W-Well…
Azuma	Would you like to try it out?
Izumi	Wah…! What a refreshing fragrance…! It’s also very refined.
	(The bottle is amazing, too. As expected, Azuma-san is stylish.)
Azuma	Do you like it? Well then, I’ll give this to you as a present.
Izumi	Ehh?! No, you don’t have to!
Azuma	Don’t worry about it. You’re always taking care of me after all, Director. Take this as a sign of my gratitude.
Izumi	But...
	(…?!?! H-Hold on a minute?! I’m looking at the price tag, but aren’t there way too many zeroes?!)
	(If this were converted into Japanese yen… No, no, I’ll stop thinking about that. It’s kind of scary.)
	H-Hey, Azuma-san. It’s really okay! For you to do something like that just because there was something I was interested in…
	I’m really happy enough to receive your good intentions…! Thank you very much.
Azuma	Is that so?
Izumi	Yeah. Just coming to this shop with you was really fun, so I’m really happy.
Azuma	I see. Fufu, if you enjoyed yourself here, then that’s great.
Azuma	Ahh, Director. Could you spare me a moment?
Izumi	Yeah, what is it?
Azuma	Here, take this. I wanted to pass this to you earlier, but I couldn’t find a good timing.
Izumi	…? This package is…?
Azuma	If it’s okay with you, would you like to open it?
Izumi	…!! This is the perfume you chose for me at the perfume shop…!
Azuma	Fufu. I was thinking that it’s much better if perfume were to go along with the person it suits, and if it were to be used.
	This fragrance really suits you, after all.
Izumi	I’ve really troubled you! I can’t accept this!
Azuma	I wanted to give this to you as a present, so you don’t have to think that you’ve troubled me. Please accept it.
Izumi	But… I’m really happy, but I don’t have anything to give you in return, Azuma-san.
Azuma	You don’t have to worry about that. But, that’s true…
	Then, in exchange for this perfume, I’m fine if you came to my room to sleep with me.
Izumi	?! I can’t just do something like that, you know?!
Kazunari	Huh, what’s up~? What’re you talking about that’s got you so excited~?
Azuma	Fufu, it’s a secret between adults.
Izumi	Really, Azuma-san! I told you to stop teasing me.
	Kazunari-kun, too, don’t just earnestly accept what he said, you know?!
Kazunari	Eehh?! But I’m curious about adults’ secret talks too!!
	Azu, it’s not fair~! Tell me about the secret between you and Director-chan too—!
Izumi	Hey, Kazunari-kun!
Azuma	Fufu♪
