MukuUmm, this is…
IzumiIt's a very big puzzle. 500 pieces?
MukuYes, that's right. Once you complete it, this is the picture you get.
IzumiIt's cute. There're so many cats.
MukuThe other day, I read a manga about going to the kingdom of cats, and I thought it was lovely…
Then I found this puzzle in the shop, so I just ended up buying it.
Ah, if you like, want to do it together Director?
IzumiIs that alright?
MukuYes!
Looks like it's going to take a long time if I do it alone, so I would be happy if you helped me.
IzumiThen I'll take you up on that. Let's do our best together!
This color, I think it goes here.
TaichiWhat are you doing?
Ah, a puzzle!
BanriHmm, 500 pieces huh. This piece… goes here.
TaichiAwesome!! Ban-chan, you got it right in one try!
MukuThis is amazing, Banri-san!
BanriIt just happened to catch my eye.
IzumiAh, then isn’t the piece next to it this one?
MukuThis one fits exactly too!
Masumi…I heard something about the piece next to Director's.
BanriWhat kinda sharp ears do you have, it's scary man.
MasumiI'll definitely be the one to find the piece next to yours…
IzumiMasumi-kun, puzzle is not this kind of game okay?
TaichiAlrighty, next I'm gonna be the one to fit it with a bam!
This one-…
Goes heree!
Izumi…seems like it doesn't.
BanriIt doesn't.
TaichiUhhh this ship has sunk…
MisumiI found a triangle! This one, is the black cat's triangular ear!
TaichiEeeh, Misumi-san nailed it in one try too!? What's this place, don't we have too many puzzle geniuses?
HomareMy, puzzle huh. You are playing quite a logical game.
I too will lend a hand for this uncompleted piece of art.
MasumiI won't hand over the piece next to Director's.
BanriIt's scary I'm telling you.
IzumiEveryone who comes to the lounge would give us a hand huh.
MukuYes!
It feels like we're all creating it together, it's fun!
This goes here… or not. Maybe here?
IzumiDoesn't this pattern belong here?
TsuzuruEh, you two were still at it?
KazunariDirector-chan, didn't you say that you gotta be up early tomorrow?
TsuzuruMuku you have school tomorrow too right. You're going to be late you know?
MukuUh, you're right but…
IzumiJust a little bit more…
TsuzuruGeez, keep it moderate and rest okay?
KazunariMukkun, I'm gonna head to our room first~. Director-chan too, g'night~!
IzumiG'night~.

MukuThis…
IzumiAh.
MukuAh-…
Izumi(Before I noticed we got so close huh)
MukuS, S-S-SORRY…!!
M-My hand has bumped into yours!
Izumi(…Muku-kun, his face is all red)
CHOICE 1: That surprised me [+]
IzumiHaha, that surprised me. I'm sorry too.
MukuN-No! I became too engrossed in the puzzle…
IzumiMe too. It's so fun it makes you all enthusiastic.
MukuThat's right.
Together with Director, it's even more fun… I don't even notice the time.
CHOICE 2: Our faces were about to bump each other [+]
IzumiOur faces were about to bump each other
MukuO-our faces!? S-Such a shoujo manga like thing…!!
Izumi(Muku-kun's face became all red again…)
MukuWith this it's… completed!!
IzumiIt's finished!
MukuYay!
IzumiHuh, it became completely late… wait, it's already this late!?
MukuI'm sho happy it'sh completed…
Yawns. Sleepy…
IzumiMuku-kun, you can't sleep here!
MukuZzz…
IzumiMuku-kun? Muku-kuuun! It's no good, he completely fell asleep.
(It can't be helped, I'll get someone to help me carry him to bed.)
Yawns…. I have to go to bed soon too…
IzumiHnm… hm, morning already? My watch… my watch...
--!?!?
Good morning!
OmiAh, good morning Director. You seem to be in a rush, can it be you overslep—
MukuI'm late-!!
TsumugiEh, you too Muku-kun. Both of you overslept?
TsuzuruThat's why I told to go to bed already. It's because you stay up late doing puzzles…
OmiAah, so that's what happened. Here, a mixed juice.
IzumiThank you!
MukuUm, I, remember completing the puzzle yesterday, but I don't remember me getting back to my room.
IzumiMuku-kun, you fell asleep just like that, so I asked Kazunari-kun and got him to carry you.
MukuEeh, so that's what happened! Uwah, so embarrassing…!
Thank you very much! I have to thank Kazu-kun later too.
TsumugiAre you two okay with the time? Isn't it better if you leave soon?
IzumiAah, I have to go!
OmiI made sandwiches so take one with you. Be careful!
MukuI'm sorry, thank you so much!
IzumiThank you, I'm off!
TsuzuruGood grief.
TsumugiHahaha, staying up late doing puzzles is charming so it's fine right.
IzumiWill I make it in time for the next train? Anyway I have to hurry…
MukuDirector, over here!
IzumiEh, Muku-kun!?
He, pulled my hand so I ended up following him but, where are we headed to…!?
MukuThis is a short way!
IzumiS-Short way you say, it's not a way at all though…!?
MukuIt's alright! It's right here!
Izumi(More like, Muku-kun is fast…!)
Huff, huff… …ah, the road in front of the station?
MukuGreat, looks like you're going to make it in time for the next train.
IzumiAmazing, it really was a short way…! That aside Muku-kun, you're really fast. You aren't even out of breath.
Muku…my only specialty, is running…
Or was.
Izumi…was?
(Why past tense…)
Muku--then, I'm going this way. Goodbye!
IzumiYeah. Be careful!
MukuDirector you too, be careful!
IzumiI'm back.
YukiWelcome home.
ItaruWelcome.
MukuWelcome home, Director!
IzumiRight, thank you for the morning Muku-kun. Thanks to Muku-kun I wasn’t late.
MukuI'm happy! Me too, somehow I made it to homeroom.
YukiAah, that thing about you two doing puzzles until late, then oversleeping?
IzumiAs I thought it's spreading in the dorms…
ItaruKeep your all nighters to a minimum.
YukiIf I were to hear that from someone else, you're the only one I absoluuutely wouldn't want to hear it from.
ItaruYesterday I participated in a quest, and was awake until 3am but I wasn't late.
YukiThat's not something to brag about. You games addict.
IzumiHahaha… But Muku-kun, why did you know about such a path?
MukuAh, that's…
Um… cat…
IzumiCat?
Muku…w-when I was looking for a path that connects to the world of cats, I found it!
Yuki….huh?
IzumiThe world of, cats…
MukuI saw it in a manga the other day, and I thought it would be nice if it existed… and then, err…
YukiStupid Muku. There's no way something like that exists.
ItaruI feel you. I also want to live in the world of games.
YukiYou shut up.
Geez, Muku, you're dreaming too much.
MukuY-You're right. There's no way it exists, right…?
Izumi(Uhh, Muku-kun's innocent eyes are too bright…!)
(But, if Muku-kun believes in it so strongly, it's possible that, a world like the one in the puzzle…)
…might…. exist.
Muku!
I'm, going to try and look for it a bit more!
Izumi…..
Itaru…..
YukiTake responsibility for that.
Izumi(What should I do…)
