Guest A To think that the family would get into an accident... Guest B Didn’t the older brother just get into college...? Guest C The two were just talking about being able to take it a little bit easier from now on too... Azuma ... Guest A So, who’s going to be the caretaker? Guest B The uncle’s place would be the best—— Guest C No can do. We have three kids. You live alone, don’t you? Guest B I live in a small apartment. There are no extra rooms. Azuma ... Guest A The poor thing... Guest B To think that he would be left alone... Azuma I see... I’m—— all alone now. *ding dong* Izumi Coming! Courier Driver I have a delivery for Yukishiro-san. Please stamp or sign here. Izumi Thank you very much. Courier Driver Thank you very much. Izumi (The sender is... Oh, it’s the Long-legged Witch who always sends colouring books to Azuma-san.) (I wonder what kind of colouring book it is this time.) Azuma I’m home. Izumi Welcome back, Azuma-san! Perfect timing. There’s a package for you. Azuma Oh. I was just thinking that it’s about time for another one to come in. Izumi Is it a colouring book? Azuma Yup. Why don’t we colour it together for a change? Izumi I’d love to! *door opens* Hisoka ...I’m home. Tsumugi What are you two up to? Izumi Oh, welcome back, Hisoka-san and Tsumugi-san! Azuma Back home from work? Hisoka ...Yeah. I’m tired. Izumi Good work. Oh, once you’ve settled, would you two like to colour with us? Tsumugi Colour? Azuma I just received a new colouring book. Tsumugi Oh, that’s what you meant. That sounds nice. Hisoka ...I’ll join. Azuma Will you be okay? Aren’t you tired? Hisoka ...My brain is tired, so it’s just as well. Tsumugi We were making tests today. Azuma I see. *door opens* Tasuku I’m home. Homare I’ve returned. Izumi Welcome back. Azuma Welcome back. Did you two go somewhere together? Tasuku No, I was at a workshop. Homare I was in a meeting. I ran into Tasuku-kun on my way home. Tasuku What are you guys all gathered here for? Izumi Perfect timing. Let’s all do it together! Tasuku Do what...? Homare Mhm, why not? I’ve no idea what’s going on, but we shall participate. Perhaps it’s fate that we’re all present here after all. Tasuku What fate? Don’t just agree to something without knowing what it is. Tasuku So you meant colouring... Homare How truly exciting to have a new book. Izumi Colouring together like this somehow feels like we’re in kindergarten. Tsumugi Fufu. We’re all gigantic kindergarteners. Azuma ...Hm? That’s strange. Izumi Is something wrong? Azuma My colour pencils aren’t here. I always keep them here though... Tsumugi How about in this drawer? Azuma Hmm. Can you check it for me? Tasuku We’ll look around too. Azuma Sorry. Hisoka ...Found it. Azuma Really? Hisoka ...A whip. Izumi T-that doesn’t have anything to do with the current situation, right!? (Just what does he use it for...) Azuma Fufu. You just imagined something suspicious, didn’t you? It’s a riding crop. In the past one of my regular clients occasionally invited me to horse riding, so they gave me a complete set of equipment. Tasuku That’s so misleading. Azuma You have a surprisingly rich imagination too, Tasuku. Tasuku Anyone would be suspicious. Izumi (What do we do if more strange things pop up...) —— Izumi (...A pair of keys?) Excuse me Azuma-san, these seemed to have dropped from somewhere—— Azuma Oh, can you put those in that drawer? They’re the keys to the apartment I used to live in. Tasuku You haven’t moved out yet, huh. Azuma It’s a hassle. Izumi (I wonder if they’re both keys to his apartment. They look different though...) Homare However, the colour pencils are nowhere to be found. Tsumugi Hmm. Where else have we not looked... *knock* Kazunari Azuu, you here~? Azuma Hm? Muku Azu-neesan, thank you for these. Azuma Ah... Tsumugi The colour pencils... Azuma Come to think of it, I lent the whole set to the two of them. Tasuku No wonder we couldn’t find them. Azuma Sorry, sorry. Azuma Now we can start colouring. Thank goodness. Tasuku Already starting to forget things? Azuma How rude. I’m not at that age yet. Tsumugi This new colouring book is detailed and beautiful as always. Homare I shall go with this one. Hisoka ...I pick this one. Izumi I’ll go with this one! Tsumugi ...Colouring like this without a care in the world feels strangely calming, somehow. Azuma I wonder why. Homare Being able to heal minds is the beauty of art. Hisoka ...Arisu’s colour scheme hurts my eyes. Homare Good grief. To think that you can’t comprehend this magnificent sense of colour... Azuma Tsumugi’s has gentle hues. Your personality is showing. Tsumugi Yours looks delicate, Azuma-san. But it somehow has a sensual feel to it too... Izumi Tasuku-san seems to like bold colours. Tasuku I just naturally end up choosing them. Tsumugi Director, yours has bright and cheerful colours. It feels uplifting. Izumi When you look at them, everyone’s personalities really show. Hisoka-san’s is... Hisoka ... Homare ...Not enough colour! This is not grayscale! Use more colours! Hisoka ...Arisu, shut up. Azuma Now, now. It’s best to colour as you please.
