| Tenma | I’m home. |
| Masumi | I’m home. |
| Izumi | Welcome back. |
| Huh, Hatsue-san…?! |
| Hatsue | Please excuse me. |
| Tenma | We met on the road just before. Since the chance came up, I was wondering how it would be if she just came to the dorm, so we all came back by car. |
| Masumi | Also because I wanted to talk to her about the festival of the dead. |
| Izumi | So that’s what happened! |
| Hatsue | I’m sorry for visiting so suddenly. |
| Izumi | No, not at all! I’m happy that we are able to meet again. |
| By all means, please take your time. |
| Hatsue | Thank you very much, Tachibana-san. |
| Izumi | You can eat dinner here as well if you’d like. |
| I was just making it with everyone. |
| Hatsue | Ahh, in that case I will also help you prepare it. |
| Izumi | Eh! No, as expected there’s no way…! |
| Hatsue | It’s alright, I also like to cook. You’re always taking care of Masumi so think of letting me help out as a thank you. |
| Izumi | Are you sure…? |
| Sorry then, please lend a hand. |
| |
| Tsuzuru | Dinner’s ready. Call everyone else over. |
| Masumi | Got it. |
| Tenma | Yeah, I’m going. |
| Izumi | In the end, you helped out a lot, sorry about that. |
| Hatsue | No, no, it was fun. |
| Tachibana-san, Fushimi-san and Minagi-san are all also good at cooking, huh. |
| Omi | Sorry for all the trouble. |
| Hatsue | I’m very happy because I had wanted to see the place and people that Masumi was living with. |
| Previously, when I met you all at the airport I had no choice but to leave very quickly— |
| I couldn’t help that I wasn’t able to greet everyone face-to-face. |
| Izumi | Yeah, it was like that. |
| Hatsue | Has Masumi caused any inconvenience in some way? |
| Tsuzuru | No, there’s nothing like that. We share a room, so when I’m writing my scripts I get helped out by him in different ways. |
| |
| Hatsue | Thank you for the meal. |
| Izumi | (Maybe it’d be good to tell Hatsue-san a little more about how Masumi-kun is doing these days.) |
| Hatsue-san, it can also be about Masumi, but how about we chat a bit more? |
| There are a lot of people here, so I will guide you to another place. |
| Hatsue | Then, by all means go ahead. |
| |
| Ahh, this is a nice spot. |
| Izumi | The wind feels good and it’s very calming. |
| Hatsue | Masumi spends his days together with everyone here, huh. |
| Izumi | Yes. You might have already heard various things from Masumi-kun… |
| Masumi-kun is working very hard, and is devoted to our plays. |
| Even in my personal life, he often helps me out when I go out shopping. |
| Hatsue | Fufu, is that so? Even during dinner, I got to talk about various things with everyone, so I’m glad he seems to be having a fun time. |
| Azuma | —Huh? There’s already someone here. |
| Sorry, were you in the middle of talking? |
| Izumi | Ah, Azuma-san. |
| What’s up? |
| Azuma | Nothing, I just thought I’d have an evening drink on the balcony. |
| I can have it at another location though. |
| Hatsue | Since you’re already here, how about you also talk with us if you’d like? |
| Azuma | Is that alright? |
| Hatsue | Yes. |
| Azuma | Thank you very much, then if you insist. |
| Once again, I am Yukishiro Azuma, part of the winter troupe. |
| Hatsue | I’m Usui Hatsue. Thank you for always taking care of Masumi. |
| Azuma | You live in America now, is that right? |
| Why did you come back to Japan this time? |
| Hatsue | Saying it is a bit embarrassing but— |
| The truth is, the wedding anniversary of me and my husband who passed away is near so I came back to the country because I wanted to visit his grave. |
| Izumi | So that was why. |
| It’s lovely that it was for your wedding anniversary. |
| Azuma | It really is. Was Masumi’s grandfather the cool type like Masumi? |
| Hatsue | Rather than cool, he was a strait-laced and stubborn person. |
| Even so, the one who fell in love first was me. |
| That person was older, our ages were a little far apart. |
| At first, he didn’t look back at me at all but I pushed forward vigorously.[1] |
| Azuma | I see. …Fufu, maybe Masumi’s aggressive attitude towards the person he likes was inherited from Hatsue-san. |
| Izumi | Azuma-san…! |
| Hatsue | What’s wrong? |
| Izumi | It’s nothing! |
| |
| Hatsue | —like that. |
| Azuma | Hmm… |
| Masumi | (—So grandma and Director were on the balcony.) |
| (? Why is Azuma also…) |
| Izumi | Oh is that so. |
| Masumi | (…Their side profile is as cute as usual…) |
| Hatsue | —So, I also don’t have much longer left to live. |
| Masumi | …uh!? |
| Izumi | That's… |
| Hatsue | Please keep it a secret from Masumi that I was saying something like this. |
| Masumi | (Grandma… doesn’t have much longer?) |
| (No way… |
| Could it be, some kind of illness…?) |
| … |
