Izumi	Huh? Oh, Sakyo-san
Sakyo	What a coincidence. Are you on the way back from buying things？
Izumi	Yup. You too？
Sakyo	Yeah. I bought a movie DVD.
Izumi	Heh, so not only do you read but you even go all the way to watch the movies！ You’re really a hard-worker huh.
Sakyo	…… Obviously. If you’re heading back then let’s go together. Pass me the stuff you’re holding.
Izumi	T-Thank you very much.
	You got a DVD huh. You bought it instead of renting it?
Sakyo	Only because it was something that had caught my interest when I saw it in the theaters.
	There’s an interview with the cast and director in the purchased copy.
	You can learn many things from the people involved in it from. There.
Izumi	I see……so what movie was it that you bought today?
Sakyo	The movies called『 Attack◆Of◆The Killer Carrots』 and『Main · Intern』
Izumi	I’ve heard about『 Main · Intern』before but this is the first time I’m ever hearing of that killer one.
Sakyo	That’s because it’s a work from quite long ago. It’s a dumb movie about carrots killing humans one after another.
Izumi	Heh！ Sounds rather interesting！
Sakyo	I thought that it’d be rather interesting when I heard the synopsis of it.
Izumi	But didn’t you buy it because you wanted to watch it too?
Sakyo	It seemed like this movie was popular with fans of movies. Though I just happened to find this in the sale portion today.
	I don’t expect much out of it but I think it wouldn’t be too bad to watch.
Izumi	I see…… that’s true.
Sakyo	The movie world and the theatrical world are both the same deep down.
Izumi	We’re back.
Misumi	Tri！ Tri！ Triangle〜♪
Izumi	!?
Sakyo	——What’s this ruckus？
Kazunari	Oh, sup’ both of you！ You’re here at a good timing, the triangle exercise is just starting now.
Izumi	Triangle exercise……？
Tenma	Tri…… angle……
Banri	Triangle~
Muku	Tri, Tri, Triangle…… ！ L-Like this？
Masumi	Yup！ Muku, you’re doing great!
Citron	Phew〜！It’s fun！
Yuki	Though you’re the only one who’s choreography seems to be off though.
Citron	This is a special dance from our country ! How about you join us too, Yuki？Shall we dance？
Yuki	I’ll refrain from doing so.
Misumi	Triangle, triangle♪ Triangle all the time~♪
Sakyo	……Is this place a nursery daycare school？
Taichi	We’re carrying out the punishment game for those who lost the game of cards now. Hey, Banri, come on, do it seriously！
Banri	Yeah, yeah. Tch, why do I have to do things like this……
Yuki	Shut up and do it properly Nyo-yan.
Banri	Oi, hey don’t go calling me by weird names now.
Tenma	In the first place, what the hell is a triangle exercise……
Taichi	An exercise routine that’s been featured recently in MHK.
Kazunari	It’s very popular with little kids.
Sakyo	Though Ikaruga’s a fine adult himself……
Izumi	If anything, it’s great to see that Misumi-kun’s enjoying himself！

Misumi	Tri, Tri, Triangle~♪
Banri	Oi, we’re still gonna do it?
Taichi	Of course we are!
Kazunari	If you don’t dance properly, there’ll be another punishment game waiting for you.
Tenma	What do you mean?
Yuki	I’ve uploaded a video recording of this up on the net.
Tenma	Hah!?
Banri	Heck, since when did you even take the video!
Taichi	Kazu-kun’s been turning around non-stop ever since earlier, you know~
Banri	Hand it over.
Kazunari	Don’t~ wanna. It’s because Settsu, you know too much about me—
Tenma	Hand it over.
Kazunari	Uwaaah!? It’s not something for you to be cornering me from both sides! Tai-chan, pass!
Taichi	Got’cha!
Banri	Ah, hey you bastard—
Misumi	Hey~! No fighting~!
Izumi	Misumi-kun’s angry……
Muku	T-That’s rare……!
Misumi	At times like this~ Everyone will get along with each other if you do the triangle exercise!
Sakyo	You’re still going to return to that in the end huh.
Misumi	The triangle exercise~ It’s fun!
	Fun is happiness. Happiness is triangular. It’ll be solved if we all do the triangle exercise together!
Izumi	I see……!
Sakyo	Don’t go getting convinced.
Misumi	Haha, everyone line up! Banri, Tenma, Taichi and Kazu too!
Taichi	Eh!? Me too!?
Kazunari	Sounds great so why not! Let’s do it all together since we’re all already here—! Right, Muku-kun?
Muku	Yup!
Tenma	Speaking of which, why aren’t you participating too, Yuki?
Yuki	Because I’m the one handling the camera.
Taichi	Does that even count!?
Yuki	Okay everyone~ please face the camera here.
Banri	I’ll destroy that smartphone later.
Tenma	I’ll help.
Misumi	Everyone~ let’s go~? Triangle exercise, start~!
Sakyo	……I guess the most important thing is that they’re having fun.
Izumi	That’s true……
	(Haa……I can’t really fall asleep, maybe I should go drink some hot milk)
	(……Hm? The light at the lounge’s on? I wonder if someone’s still awake at this time of the night?)
Sakyo	……
Izumi	Huh? Sakyo-san?
Sakyo	Oh, it’s you.
Izumi	I was thinking who it was in the middle of the night. Are you watching a movie?
Sakyo	Yeah. I couldn’t watch it back in the afternoon since everyone was being so noisy.
Izumi	That afternoon, they did the triangle exercise three times! Thanks to that, even I had heard the choreography.
Sakyo	Seems like my choice of not participating was right. So, what are you up to?
Izumi	Err—r, I was thinking of drinking hot milk since I wasn’t able to fall asleep at all.
Sakyo	Hot milk huh. How child-like.
Izumi	It’s surprisingly effective! You can manage to sleep soundly if you drink it!
Sakyo	Well, it might be good for relaxing.
Izumi	Certainly—— Wait, oh! That movie’s 『Reversible』isn’t it!
Sakyo	You know about it huh.
Izumi	Of course! I wanted to watch it during the opening period but before I knew it, the renting period had already started!
Sakyo	If so then how about watching it together?
Izumi	Eh!? Is it really alright for me to do so?
Sakyo	If only you promise not to make any noise.
Izumi	It won’t be noisy with only one more person! Then I’ll take you up on your words.
Sakyo	Don’t make a fuss.
Izumi	Like I said, I’m not!
	……Many people die in this movie.
Sakyo	Well that’s just the kind of movie it is.
Izumi	You and musical films are a surprising combination.
Sakyo	I can still find them interesting at my age can’t I, there’s really no meaning to that.
Izumi	……I see.
	(Oh, this is bad, I’m getting sleepy……)
Sakyo	……Are you sleepy?
Izumi	Not at all! I’m fine!
Sakyo	……Then it’s fine.
Izumi	……
	(Even if I say that……My eyelids are already getting heavier by the second……)
Sakyo	…………

Sakyo	Oi, your eyes are half-closed you know. If you’re sleepy then go to your room——
Izumi	No……it’s okay……I’m awake……
Sakyo	……Haa. It can’t be helped then.
	Come here. I’ll lend you my shoulder.
Izumi	Nn—……Thank you very much……
Sakyo	Does your neck hurt?
CHOICE 1: It’s comfortable [+] Izumi Not at all…… It’s comfortable and fit……You’re really warm…… Sakyo ……Honestly, you’re probably the only one with enough nerve to treat me as a pillow.
CHOICE 2: It might be a little hard to sleep [+] Izumi Hmm—m, it might be a little hard to sleep……? My head’s position…… Sakyo ……Oi, don’t shuffle around that much.
Sakyo	If you’re sleepy then sleep here.
Izumi	(Ah, he’s patting my head……)
	But, the movie……
Sakyo	I can watch that kinda thing anytime. At least, while you’re still here.
Izumi	(I see……Then……)
	…………
Sakyo	……Your sleeping face hasn’t changed at all.
Izumi	Nn—……I slept well.
	……
	Huh? Yesterday……
	(I feel like I had been watching a movie together with Sakyo-san back in the lounge room……Was it a dream?)
Sakyo	——You’re awake.
Izumi	Oh……Good morning.
Sakyo	Morning.
Izumi	Um……Yesterday, I saw a dream that I had been watching a movie with you yesterday but——
Sakyo	That wasn’t a dream.
Izumi	Right? I’m glad! There’s no way that I’d have such a clear dream—
Sakyo	Then, do you remember me carrying you all the way back to your room when you fell asleep in the middle of watching the movie you said you wanted to watch so much?
Izumi	What!? Please repeat that once more!
Sakyo	Like I said, I carried you back to your room.
Izumi	T-That’s a lie, right?
Sakyo	How many times do you want me to say it?
Izumi	……I’m sorry for causing you trouble.
Sakyo	You’re honestly such a handful.
	Well……I’m glad I saw your goofy sleeping face.
Izumi	Saying that it was goofy’s just plain mean!
Sakyo	Then, how about calling it a stupid face?
Izumi	Both of them aren’t any different! Besides, what did you mean by you carried me—
Sakyo	Do you want to hear me saying it straight from my own mouth on purpose?
Izumi	…...Ngh.
Misumi	Go—od mor—ning—!
Sakyo	……You’re being noisy right in the morning.
Misumi	Mumumu? What are you talking about? Triangle~?
Sakyo	We were just talking about how the director’s bed hair was really bad.
Izumi	Eh!? The way I slept!?
Sakyo	I’m joking. Don’t go accepting it head-front just like that.
Izumi	……But you have bed hair too!
Sakyo	Ho, where? Tell me about it, Director—
Izumi	Too close, too close, too close! It’s a lie! You don’t have bed hair at all!
Sakyo	You’re still 100 years too early to be lying to me.
Misumi	Hmm—m……I don’t really get it but the both of you seem to be getting along with each other pretty well!
Sakyo	Yeah. Isn’t that right, director?
