Episode 5: Summer's Door
Previous Event Story
KamekichiThis way!
Izumi(The large bath… "Unlocked" is also written here.)
(This must be the continuation of the etude.)
Nick"..."
Izumi(!? Nick has collapsed…!)
Tadano"--."
IzumiH-Hey, are you alright? What in the world happened to him…!?
Koga"No clue. We just happened to pass by here."
Kikukawa"He's already in this state when we found him."
Tim"Sorry. He suddenly collapsed when he took Leo to play in the water."
Kikukawa"Leo? Do you mean this plushie?"
Koga"What kind of setting is that?"
Watson"Excuse me! Let me pass through!"
Tim"Who are you?"
Watson"I'm a medical student. Please pull yourself together!"
Nick"..."
Watson"T-This is…!"
Tim"Don't tell me…!?"
Watson"...He just fell asleep due to fatigue."
Koga"The heck!?"
Tadano"Don't exaggerate it then…"
Nick"...Ha!"
Kikukawa"Oh. He woke up."
Nick"What happened to me…"
Tim"How are you feeling, Nick? You collapsed out of nowhere and didn't wake up for a while."
Nick"Oh, is that so… I didn't get much sleep since we're so busy with practice these days."
Nick"Looks like I caused a fuss because of this. I apologize."
IzumiIt's okay. Don't mind it.
Watson"Still, you should take a good rest if you're lacking sleep."
Koga"How about taking a bath here to relax? I recommend taking a hip bath."
Kikukawa"Why bath all of sudden?"
Tim"I see. We initially came here to let Leo play in the water, but this is Japan's so-called 'large bath,' huh."
Watson"I've heard about it before. It's said if you take a bath together with your friends in a place like this, that's what you call 'true friendship.'"
Nick"I believe fate is the one that led us to meet here. In that case, why don't we also do that…"
Koga"But why!?"
Kikukawa"You're the one who brought that up first…"
Koga"I never said anything about taking one together!"
"Who are they, anyway? Are they members of that circus troupe or something?"
Kikukawa"I guess, yeah, judging by their costumes. Like I said before, they can serve as reference."
IzumiIn any case, I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
Tadano"...I'm going home, then."
Izumi(Hold on. If I remember correctly, the thing Misumi… No, Tadano-kun picked up is…)
Tadano-kun, wait!
Tadano"...What?"
IzumiThe thing you picked up a while ago…
Tadano"Ah… you mean this?"
Koga"!? Where did you find it…!?"
Tadano"On the roadside. Is it yours?"
Koga"Yeah. No doubt about it."
IzumiIt really is yours, Tenma… I mean, Koga-kun.
Watson"What a strange coincidence…!"
Tim"Heh. A padlock necklace."
Kikukawa"Whoa. I never expected it to be a high-brand item."
Koga"Oh, shut it."
Nick"It looks really expensive. I wonder how much it is if we sell it…"
Koga"Anyway. I'm glad I could get it back. Thanks, man."
Tadano"...I just happened to pick it up. No need to thank me."
Izumi(Is he feeling shy? Hehe. Cute.)
(Wait. It's not the time to chill around! I've gotta ask them about the key.)
Umm… I actually picked up this key. Do you have any idea whose key it is?
Watson"I don't remember seeing this key before…"
Nick"Ah!"
IzumiDo you know the owner of this key?
Nick"No. It's not that…"
"I saw the same key in my dream just now."
Koga"Dream?"
Nick"Yes. It's a key that will bring fortune to whoever has it."
"But that's about it… I'm sorry."
Tim"A key that brings fortune, huh."
IzumiIf that's so, I have to bring this key back to its owner soon…
KamekichiPutting that aside, it's a good thing that all ends well!
Watson"Oh! You're the bird who led us here!"
Koga"You…! What kind of nerves do you have to be hanging out here so freely! You're the one who stole my necklace!"
KamekichiI don't know what you're talking about~.
Tadano"So it's all this bird's doing, after all."
Tim"Oooh…! A bird who can speak human language. I want you in our circus troupe. I'm sure George will also welcome you with open arms."
Kikukawa"Hey. Shouldn't you be going now if you want to look for the owner of the key?"
"I don't think anyone has a clue about it. Besides, being here will only take you nowhere."
IzumiYou have a point…
(However, rather than not knowing anything about this key, I feel like they dodge the question on purpose.)
Nick"I'm sure that key will also bring fortune to you."
"A fortune that's like a shining and glittering summer, fitting for you who has such a warm heart."
Izumi…!
Kikukawa"Good bye."
Izumi(For some reason, I got kicked out of the large bath.)
(What was that anyway…)
(In the end I didn't get any important clues about the key.)
But the liveliness is still so Summer Troupe.
(If what Nick said is right, that this key will bring fortune to whoever has it…)
(I wonder what kind of fortune it is.)
Alright. I need to go to the next place to find out!
