| Laborer | Alright, can you get the items listed here and take them to their respective places? You can use this trolley. |
| Kumon | Yes! |
| Laborer | A cheerful one, aren’t you? If there’s anything you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll be counting on you, then. |
| Kumon | (Hmm, these goods should be in this row…) |
| … |
| (That reminds me, I wonder if the date for the Showdown Act has been decided.) |
| (I can’t believe Azami is joining that showdown…) |
| |
| Tasuku | Alright, I’m gonna move the table for our get-together. |
| Omi | Can anyone help me buy ingredients? |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, let me help out. |
| Guy | Me too. |
| Kumon | --Azami!! By joining the cast, that means you--. |
| Azami | ...You told me, didn’t you? We may reconcile if I don’t give up. |
| Kumon | Yup! I’m sure you’ll get your feelings across with your act! |
| Azami | Yeah, thanks. |
| |
| Kumon | (I wonder what I should do to support Azami and the others. Is there something--.) |
| Whoaaa! |
| (Oh no, all the goods fell to the ground. Where should I put--.) |
| Shifuto | Ah, just put them back to the place written here. |
| Kumon | !! |
| Shifuto | Be careful. |
| Kumon | Thanks! |
| |
| Phew, I’m beat. It’s such a nice way to build stamina though, since I had to use my strength quite a lot--. |
| Shifuto | … |
| Kumon | Ah! Thanks for your help before! |
| Shifuto | Ah, good work. Is today your first day? |
| Kumon | Yup! I’m Hyodo, a high school senior! |
| Shifuto | You’re my senior then. I’m Arakawa, a high school freshman. |
| Kumon | Oh, really!? I totally thought you’re either older or the same age as me. |
| Shifuto | Me too. I thought we’re the same age. |
| Kumon | Have you been working here for a long time? |
| Shifuto | Nope, this is my third time here. I’ve just started working part time since I wanna help my family earn money. We’re poor, you see. |
| But it’s pretty hard to work part time when you’re also doing theater. I’ve been busy with rehearsals, so I can only work on my days off and at places that let me start immediately. |
| Kumon | Eh?! I’m also doing theater! |
| Shifuto | Wow, really? What a coincidence. |
| Kumon | I’m glad there’s a guy I can talk to here! |
| Shifuto | Haha, we may be working the same shift again so I’ll be in your care. |
| Kumon | Same here! |
| |
| Laborer | Alright, you can get off work today. Thanks for your hard work. |
| Kumon | Thank you! |
| Phew… That was exhausting. |
| Shifuto | Good work. |
| Kumon | Good work! Man, my arms are killing me! I’m starving too! |
| Shifuto | Oh, wanna go grab some croquette udon on our way home, then? |
| Kumon | Sounds nice! Sure sure! |
| |
| Shifuto | This place is cheap and tasty. |
| Kumon | Seriously!? I’m digging in! Whoa, this croquette is so crispy! It’s piping hot and yummy! |
| Shifuto | IKR? |
| Kumon | This store is awesome. It’s a perfect place to hang out with friends! |
| Shifuto | I know, right. It’s been a while since I came here with someone, though. I’ve been eating here alone lately. |
| Kumon | Oh, really? |
| Shifuto | I usually come here with my childhood friend, but we fought during middle school graduation. |
| Well, it’s more like I pushed him away. |
| Kumon | Hmm? |
| (I feel like I’ve heard this story before…) |
| Shifuto | The truth is… I got jealous of him since he got to start acting before me. |
| I’ve always wanted to start acting from way back, and he was more interested in hair and makeup rather than acting. And yet—. |
| Kumon | —. |
| By-By the way, can you tell me your first name? |
| Shifuto | Shifuto. I’m Shifuto Arakawa. It’s such a rare name, isn’t it? |
| Kumon | !! |
| (EEEEEEH!?) |
| T-Tell me your LIME ID! |
| Shifuto | Okay. |
| Huh? I feel like I’ve heard your name before… |
| Kumon | Kumon is such a common name, y’know! For dogs, cats or even parrots! |
| Shifuto | Haha, definitely not. |
| |
| Bye, then. Let’s go eat together again! |
| Kumon | Y-yup! See ya! |
| (Never would have thought I’d be acquainted with Azami’s friend like this…) |
| (I kinda have mixed feelings about this though, since Azami is worried he can’t talk to him…) |
| (I wonder if I can be the middleman between Shifuto and Azami…) |
