Masumi & Juza Talk

Juza	…Masumi.
Masumi	…Oh, it’s you.
Juza	I feel like we've bumped into each other unexpectedly like this before back during the Chocolate Fair.
Masumi	…I think so too.
	Did you also come here to buy sweets from that shop?
Juza	Yeah. This store’s dango taste great.
	Did you come to buy stuff too, Masumi?
Masumi	…I’m going to give her some Hinamatsuri sweets as a present for Hinamatsuri.
	So I’m taking a look around at various different sweets for that reason.
Juza	Oh yeah, that store’s got hina-arare and sakura dango out for display.
	Come to think of it, I feel like I heard the Hinamatsuri cakes at a shop in the shopping district are popular too, but…
Masumi	A Hinamatsuri cake… might work.
Juza	…Wanna drop by that store?
Masumi	…I’ll go.
Juza	Cool. Aight, I'll lead. Let's head out?

Muku & Omi Talk

Muku	Wahh, strawberries! They look really delicious.
Omi	I got them from someone at my workplace. I was thinking of making some kind of sweet, but I’m not sure what to choose.
Muku	There’s strawberry cake and tarts, mousse, ice cream…
	Strawberry daifukus and strawberry sandwiches are nice too, right?
Omi	Oh, strawberry sandwiches sound great.
	Alright, I’ll make that?
	Oh right, if I’m going out of my way to make strawberry sandwiches, I want to try the arrangement that was mentioned in my cookbook.
Muku	Arrangement?
Omi	Hmmm… Ahh, found it. Here.
Muku	Amazing! When you look at the sandwich from the side, the strawberries inside turn into the shape of tulips!
Omi	Yeah, it seems like you make it by lining them up so they look like tulips when you cut the sandwich.
	It’s cute and perfect for spring, huh?
Muku	It’s so wonderful!
	Um, is it alright if I help make them too?
Omi	Sure, of course.
	Let’s make tasty strawberry sandwiches together.
Muku	Yes!

Itaru & Sakyo Talk

Itaru	!
	What you’re reading there, Sakyo-san…
	Isn’t that the original light novel of the reincarnation isekai spring anime that’s all the rage right now…!
Sakyo	Yeah… seems like it. I was curious since it was written at the bookstore that it's trending.
Itaru	I’m watching that anime too and the characters are cool, the story’s hype, and it’s pretty interesting, right?
Sakyo	The story’s classic, but it also has some unexpected twists so it’s not bad.
	You read novels too, don’tcha, Chigasaki?
Itaru	Yeah, I do. I play games more, but I like light novels and stuff too.
	I was interested in that original book since they’re saying you should read it if you like the anime version.
Sakyo	I’ll lend it to you if you don’t mind waiting 'til I’m done reading it.
Itaru	Are you sure? Then, definitely, please do.
Sakyo	Saint George’s Day, also known as Book Day, is also in April, right?
	So wouldn’t it be good to read various different books?
Itaru	Was that the day in other countries where you give books to each other?
	Then, doing as the Romans do, I’ll lend Sakyo-san some light novels too.
	I’ll prepare my hand-picked recommendations.
Sakyo	Hmph... Sure.
