Part 1Part 2

Kumon	Ahh, I’m full! The ramen was delicious! … hmm?
Shop lady	Citron, this would definitely look good on inste, don’t you think?
Citron	Oh! That cabbage is a beautiful shade of purple!
Kumon	(Huh, it’s Citron!)
Citron	This is a pretty shade of red!
Shop lady	That’s a raw pepper. We just happened to get it in today~.
	It is spicy, but I think it is a lot easier to eat than drying foods. Why don’t you have a taste.
Citron	Thank you so much!!! I’ll come again!
Kumon	Hey Citron, are you shopping?
Citron	Oh, Kumon! I was looking for something that would look good on inste.
Kumon	Ahh, to promote Actors Cafe!
Citron	Yes!!!!
Kumon	But why the fruits and vegetables stand?
Citron	Everyone is looking for good photo spots. So I thought it would be best for me to start from a place close to my heart.
Kumon	Ohh! So this place!!
Fish monger	Oh! That must be Citron!
Citron	Mr. Fish monger! Hello!!!
Kumon	Hello!
Fish monger	Brought a friend along today, I see. I got all of your favourites. Come look!
Kumon	Citron’s favourites?
Citron	Sweet shirmp!
	O-Ohh!? This one’s belly is blue! It looks completely different from the rest!
Fish monger	Haha! That shrimp is pregnant. If you were to peel the shell off, you would see the eggs inside are blue.
Kumon	For real!? Wow, it kinda looks like an alien!
Citron	Oh! This is something I really didn’t know!!!
	This is definitely something perfect for inste!! Real cool! There’s so many!
Fish monger	If you want you can take some. It’s a gift for helping out with the shop the other day.
Citron	Thank you!!
Kumon	Wow, there’s quite a lot of stuff!
Citron	Everyone is so nice~. Even though it’s all food, I found so many things!!!
Kumon	I never really thought to look before, but now I see there is quite a lot of inste-blammable things around if you just look.
Kazunari	Huh? It’s Kumopi and Ronron!
Citron	Kazu! I got tons of insta-blammable stuff!
Kazunari	Huh? I also got tons of pics! Lemme see what you got and I’ll show you mine!
Citron	So, here it mine! Look at how pretty the red and blue colours of the sweet shrimps are!
Kazunari	DUDE! Super insta-blammable~!
Citron	And I got this! A claw pepper!
Kumon	Citron, it’s raw pepper!
Citron	Yea, that!
Kazunari	Wow, super red! And spicy lookin’ ~! That’s nice but also look at what I got!
Kumon	I wanna look at Kazu’s photos too!
Kazunari	Yah! Look look~!
Kumon	Wow, so many cool pics!
Citron	Kazu, what is this?
Kazunari	An aurora drink!
Kumon	Ah, I know that!
Citron	It’s so colourful and pretty~!
Kazunari	Yeah, isn’t it? It’s got stuff like blue tea and fruit juice inside~.
	It all mixes together when you drink it.
Kumon	really, wow! I wanna drink it!
Citron	Looks like fruit tea! Looks delicious!
Kazunari	I think you can make it at home.
Kumon	Really!? Wow!
Citron	…. That’s it!!
Kazunari	What’s up, Ronron?
Citron	What a ducky day! Go go!
Kumon	Ducky...?
Citron	I made a mistake. It’s our lucky day!
Kazunari	Not really what I had in mind, but this seems really fun, so let’s go!

Citron	Time for Citron’s cooking studio!!!!
Kazunari	YEY!
Kumon	Sorry for crashing the party! Thanks for letting me stay!
Citron	Cooking is more fun with friends!
Kazunari	TRUE THAT~!
Citron	So Kazu, how exactly do you make that aurora drink?
Kazunari	I looked it up and it seems like it uses a tea called butterfly pea tea! First we need to put the tea leaves in the hot water…
Citron	Oh!
Kumon	It’s super blue! WOW!!
Citron	Even this by itself is pretty insta-blammable.
Kumon	Definitely!
Kazunari	Next you just pick the fruit juice that matches the colour that you wanna make. Then you just pour it in with the tea, but make sure not to mix them!
Citron	Easier than I thought!!!
Kazunari	Yea, right! Let’s decorate the cup too~
Citron	Finished!
Kazunari	Super pre~tty! Let’s take a pic!
Kumon	Ah! Do you think if we changed the type of juice, we’d get a different mix of colours?
Kazunari	Right! Maybe we can try other combinations too~!
	(beep beep)
	Hm? It’s from Mukkun.
	…… Oh! I forgot we have a meeting with the rest of summer troupe! Kumopi, let’s go!
Kumon	Oh, right!
Kazunari	Sorry Ronron, catch ya later!
Kumon	Later!
Citron	See you!!!
	....
	I got an idea!
Izumi	... Hmm, Citron?
Citron	Director! You came to the right place!
Izumi	Oh, the thing in your hand, is that an aurora drink?
Citron	Yes!!! I made it with Kazu and Kumon.
Izumi	Really, you made it yourself? What a pretty yellow-green colour.
Citron	Try some, director.
Izumi	Really? Thank you. I’ll try.
	.. mmm!! It’s so delicious and refreshing!
Citron	That one is lime flavoured! Is that your favourite?
Izumi	Yes! The cup is also cute, definitely something insta-blammable.
Citron	Actually that is not all of it! TA-DAH!
Izumi	Wah! WOW!!! Pink and purple, blue and green.. this is really colourful.
Citron	I made each based off a member of spring troupe.
Izumi	I see! It is just as cute as the other one!
Citron	If you mix the drink, you can make even more colours! I wanna take a pic of all the drinks together!
Izumi	Of course, that’s fine.
Citron	(click)
	Thank you so much~! I wanna show Kazu and friends later!
Sakuya	We’re back!
Tsuzuru	We’re back.
Citron	Ohhh, you two also came to the right place!
Sakuya	Huh, what’s that?
Citron	The aurora drink I made! You two can try too.
	This is for Tsuzuru! And this is for Sakuya!
Sakuya	What a pretty pink colour! Thank you so much!
Tsuzuru	Wow mine is a pretty amazing green colour.. It’s kinda cloudy looking.
Izumi	I tried one and it was delicious. I tried the yellow-green lime flavour.
Tsuzuru	Huh….. The green looks a little weird. Well if director drank it, it should be fine.
Sakuya	Here goes nothing!
Tsuzuru	Time to try it.
	Sakuya and Tsuzuru:
	UHHH!
Sakuya	.. !!!
Izumi	HUH!? Are you two okay?
Sakuya	Y-Yeah…! But the flavour is kinda..
Tsuzuru	W-What is in this..!? It’s super bitter..!
Citron	I put in all the things everyone gave me in the shopping district! They said all the stuff they were giving me was delicious!
	The pink in Sakuya’s drink is red pickled ginger, and for Tsuzuru the green is Japanese green gentian and bitter melon! The colours are PERFECT!!!!
Sakuya	R-Red pickled ginger?
Citron	Masumi is purple cabbage, Itaru is raw pepper, and Chikage is sweet shrimp eggs!
Sakuya	That selection is umm…..
Izumi	So these colours were made with those things….
Tsuzuru	Why is Citron’s the only normal one with lime? Meanwhile mine was something you would only drink if you lost a punishment game.
Citron	No not a punishment game drink~!! I put my heart and soul into it!
Tsuzuru	I mean, all that stuff isn’t what you normally put in juice!
Citron	Hey hey, I’m a bit upset with Tsuzuru’s overreaction~!
Tsuzuru	I should be the one saying that!
