Tasuku “You over there. Do you have a moment?” Hisoka “Do you need something?” Tasuku “I’m investigating the case of serial robberies targeting women around here recently.” Hisoka “Oh, I’ve heard about that.” “Sagishima.” Homare “Yes, Shiki-sama. I have it here——” Hisoka “You mean the case discussed in this article, no?” Tasuku “It saves us time if you know about it. I’d like to hear what you have to say.” Izumi (Yup, the Winter Troupe members are all in sync.) (Hisoka-san seems to have relaxed a little too. Just a little more and he’ll be fine, I think.) (Now we just need some sort of impetus in order for Homare-san to get a grasp of his character...) *applause* Passerby A That was interesting! Passerby B I’m coming to watch your performance tomorrow! Tsumugi Thank you very much. Homare Thank you, thank you! Hisoka ...Zzz. Tasuku Don’t just sleep on the street as soon as we’re done! Tsumugi His clothes will get dirty. Tasuku ...I’ll carry this home first. Azuma We’ll leave him in your hands. Izumi (Tasuku-san has completely turned into Hisoka-san’s taxi...!) Man With Glasses ...Can I have a flyer? Izumi Oh, yes! We’ll be selling a few same-day tickets as well, so please come watch if you like. Man With Glasses ...Thanks. Izumi (That person kind of had a mysterious air to him...) Izumi Okay, we’re done cleaning up so let’s head home. Azuma *phew* It sure is hot. It’s summer all right. I feel like going out to have some drinks. Tsumugi The performance is tomorrow, so please drink in moderation. Azuma Let’s all go out for drinks after the final performance. Izumi Sounds good! Tsumugi I guess I’ll abstain from alcohol for a while starting today. Azuma I didn’t say to go that far... Tsumugi I do it sometimes with my prayers for the performance. Homare I see. Then I shall abstain from alcohol starting today as well. Azuma I’ll have to turn down Sakyo-kun’s invite for evening drinks then. Let’s make the performance a success, leader. Homare ...Mhm. Izumi ...It’s finally tomorrow. (The Winter Troupe members are all adults after all; somehow they all seem calm and collected as the opening day approaches...) (But the fact that there’s still a problem hasn’t changed... And in the end we weren’t able to find Homare-san’s pocket watch.) (I wonder where it could be... We’ve searched everywhere possible.) *knock* Izumi Yes? Hisoka ...It’s me. Izumi What’s the matter, Hisoka-san? Hisoka ...It’s about the pocket watch. Izumi Oh, I was just thinking about that. So it’s on your mind too? Hisoka ... Izumi Hisoka-san? Hisoka ...To Arisu, is that watch necessary? Or unnecessary? Izumi Huh? Hisoka ...He seemed to have treasured it, but then he gave up right away when he lost it. He even said it was unneeded. Izumi That was... Hisoka Arisu is always simple and he’s an idiot, but I don’t understand. Izumi ...I think that if it really was something he didn’t need, then he would’ve thrown it away long ago. He wouldn’t have held it dearly wherever he went. There’s no way he truly thinks of it as something unnecessary. Hisoka ...Then why did he say he didn’t need it? Izumi That, I don’t know... Hisoka ...You don’t know? Izumi I don’t. I’m sure he must have some complicated feelings surrounding it. Hisoka ... Izumi I don’t understand, but I still want to find the pocket watch and give it to him. Hisoka ...Even though you don’t understand? Izumi Yeah. Hisoka Why? Izumi I guess it’s because I get the feeling that’s the best thing to do, when I think about Homare-san. I can’t exactly understand what Homare-san is thinking, but I can put myself in his shoes, right? I don’t know whether that’s the right thing to do though... Hisoka ... The pocket watch is——
