Part 1Part 2

Citron	Where did it go, this is bad~.
Sakuya	Huh, Citron? What are you looking for?
Citron	I don’t know where I put my dorm key!
Sakuya	HUH!? You gotta find it quickly!! I’ll search too!
Citron	Oh, Sakuya, thank you!
	Just as I thought, it’s not here~.
Sakuya	Uh, hey what’s this? Seems like there’s a bump in the carpet over here….
	OH, YEAH, IT’S HERE! It was under the rug!
Citron	Oh, was it really!? I must have missed it there!
Sakuya	Thank goodness we were able to find it.
Citron	It was all thanks to you, Sakuya. I know Sakyo would definitely be angry if I told him I had lost it for good.
Sakuya	Yeah true, a lot of us have been losing our keys lately so he’s been nagging us to be more careful.
Citron	But maybe if we all had keychains we wouldn’t lose it next time! Quick, I wanna do a keychain exchange!
Sakuya	That’s right! We’re going to use Itaru’s ‘Real gacha’ idea and do a big exchange…. I’m really looking forward to it.
	We’ll quickly be able to find our keys when we hang them on our new keychains.
Citron	There are so many types of keychains there’s no way we could mix our keys up!
Sakuya	I don’t know what I’ll get or who I’ll get it from, that’s the fun! I’m so excited!
Citron	Real gacha, how eggciting!
Sakuya	So, Citron, have you thought about what kind of keychain you’re going to buy for the exchange?
Citron	I am thinking about getting a sweet shrimp one!
Sakuya	Oh, sweet shrimp..? Like… A real one?
Citron	No! I found a fake one at a trinket shop.
	It caught my eye and I thought why not give a keychain of something I love? I love sweet shrimp, so I’m going to give a sweet shrimp keychain!
Sakuya	Nice! I really need to see this fake sweet shrimp keychain for myself.
Citron	If you really wanna see it, how about you come with me to buy it?
Sakuya	Are you sure?
Citron	Of course!
Citron	I’m excited to buy this sweet shrimp keychain~
Sakuya	Me too!
Izumi	Oh, are you two going out?
Citron	Hey director! I see you got your car keys, where are you heading?
Izumi	I was just heading to the trinket store to see if I could find anything we could use as props and such.
Sakuya	I see!
Citron	What a coincidence! We are also heading to the trinket store.
Izumi	Is that so? Well it’s a bit far, how about you guys ride with me?
Sakuya	Wow, thank you so much!
Citron	Going on a drive just the three of us, how lucky we are! Thank you, director!

Izumi	So what did you two want to buy here?
Citron	A keychain to give to someone!
Izumi	Oh you mean for the keychain exchange.
Sakuya	Yeah. I am just tagging along since Citron seems to have decide what he wants.
Citron	It should be around here— the sweet shrimp~
Izumi	Huh, sweet shrimp? They have a sweet shrimp keychain?
Citron	They do! It looks just like the real thing.
Sakuya	Looks like they have a lot of realistic looking fake food keychains here.
Izumi	Wow it looks really good, they look just like the real things.
Citron	It’s not here…. Not here at all….
Sakuya	Not here?
Izumi	Oh no, what are you gonna do, Citron?
Citron	I was sure they had a sweet shrimp keychain here, but looks like it’s gone!!
Sakuya	Huh!? M-Maybe they just moved it to another shop…?
Citron	No way! There’s a tag that says ‘sold out’ here.
Izumi	Sold out…. That sweet shrimp keychain must sure be popular.
Citron	But I really really wanted that one…. I can’t think of anything else I would wanna buy.
Izumi	Aww, cheer up, Citron. I am sure there is something else around here.
Citron	B-But the sweet shrimp was perfect…
Sakuya	Hey! Citron, what about this one? It has a sweet shrimp on it!
Citron	Oh, Sakuya, I hate to say it but I can’t just—
	T-THAT—!! That’s a sweet shrimp candy!
	I had no idea they made a keychain out of that! What a match made in heaven!
Sakuya	Sweet shrimp candy?
Izumi	Is it…. Popular?
Citron	Oh, I’m surprised you two have never heard of sweet shrimp lollipops! Yea, they’ve been trending on Instablam!
	They’ve been a real hit with me and Kazu!
Izumi	Sweet shrimp candy…. Wow it’s a fusion of you and Kazu’s favourite things, of course you two would be all over it.
Sakuya	That’s good. I’m happy that this cheered you up, Citron!
Citron	And thanks to you, Sakuya, for finding that keychain! If I was alone I would have totally missed it.
Sakuya	Don’t mention it, I am glad I could help. I am the one who should be thanking you for letting me tag along!
Itaru	And next up is Citron.
Citron	Okay! Soooo let’s take a spin~
	Oh, I got...
Azuma	Oh, a retractable keychain with a carabiner hook?
Citron	Y-Yeah, kinda plain looking. There’s nothing really special about it.
Omi	But it is something that would be really convenient to hang on your clothes or your bag.
Muku	Well whoever bought it must have had something in mind, right?
Tenma	Yeah, but look here, it has the letter ‘M’ on it, I wonder what that means.
Citron	I-IT IS—!
	THE M STANDS FOR MANMAN GRAMPANY! IT TOTALLY DOES!
Sakuya	I-Is that so?
Citron	It totally is! Ohh the buyer must love MANMAN Grampany and was thinking about how they could show that in their keychain, great!
	This is just what I wanted! This is the best keychain!
Itaru	You were the one who said it looked kinda plain looking in the beginning, oh how your opinion has completely flipped.
Citron	THANK YOU FOR THIS MANMAN GRAMPANY KEYCHAIN!
