Hisoka …Zzz, zzz. Azuma …Oh? …What’s wrong, Hisoka? Hisoka …Hm. Azuma I don’t have any marshmallows here. Hisoka …Azuma, you look like you’re sad. Azuma ―― Hisoka …I’ll give you marshmallows. They’re the economical kind though. Azuma …Thank you. Hisoka …*munch, munch* Azuma …The economical kind is a little hard. Hisoka …Yeah. Arisu is stingy. Azuma Hehe. I’ll buy you delicious marshmallows again sometime soon. Izumi … (The opening day is approaching… The ticket sales are going well. All that’s left is to go over the acting itself, which is the important part.) (It’s pretty much almost complete, but I think that the Winter Troupe now can do even better…) Tasuku Director. Izumi Tasuku-san? What’s wrong? Tasuku Do you have an extra copy of the script? Izumi I do. Should I bring it to you later? Tasuku Please. Izumi How are things with Azuma-san? Tasuku I tried asking him about it directly… but he didn’t talk. I can probably dig my nose in a little further, but then I just end up remembering what happened during our debut performance. Izumi You had a little bit of a dispute back then after all… Tasuku …When I think of choosing the wrong words again, I become unable to say anything. Even though I should know by now that I won’t get anything across if I don’t put it into words. …I haven’t grown at all. Izumi That’s not true. You’ve changed, Tasuku-san. It’s evident enough in how hard you’re trying to work things out with Azuma-san. You’re facing things head-on without turning away. You just need one more step. Tasuku …You’re right. Izumi I don’t think that you need to say anything clever. There are times when people want to hear trivial words. Like the Tsumugi-san from the past, and the Azuma-san from the present. Tasuku Trivial words, huh. …I’ll give it a try. *ding dong* Izumi ? Tasuku Looks like someone’s at the door. Izumi Yes? Asajo I’m sorry that it’s so late at night. I’m Asajo. Is Azuma-kun here? Izumi Azuma-san? Tasuku He’s probably out. Asajo I see… That’s too bad. Izumi (What an elegant woman. Could she be one of his clients during his sleeping partner days…?) Homare I’m home. Izumi Oh, welcome back. Homare …Oh? Asajo Oh my. Arisugawa-sensei. Tasuku You know her? Homare Indeed. She is someone from the publishing company; I’ve been under her care. However, she works as an executive, and so we don’t directly work with each other. Izumi (A big shot at a publishing company… Asajo… Azuma-san’s acquaintance…) Ah!! Are you perhaps the Long-legged Witch…!? Asajo Did Azuma-kun tell you? Hehe, being called that face-to-face is quite embarrassing. Homare Is there anything we can help you with today? Asajo I just happened to pass by, so I thought I’d stop by and see Azuma-kun. Izumi We can try contacting him? Asajo Oh no, that’s fine. I can just see him at the apartment building again. Izumi (Apartment building…?) Asajo I’ll take my leave— Izumi P-please wait. Apartment building…? Asajo Oh, he hasn’t told you? My family has been in the real estate business for generations. Azuma-kun has been renting a room at our apartment building for a long time now, and he’s been going there a lot recently. Izumi … (So that’s the reason why he’s been going out at night lately. But why…) Tasuku Can you tell us the apartment’s address? Asajo But… I don’t know if I should be the one telling you these things… Tasuku Please. Izumi Please, I’m also asking you! Asajo … …Ever since he joined your theater troupe, Azuma-kun looks like he’s been enjoying himself. I was happy that he’d finally found a place to belong. Come with me. I’ll lead you there.
