| Itaru | ---- (points the Dominator at Chikage) |
| Wow senpai, your crime coefficient is over 100. You’re going to get shot in Paralyzer mode. |
| Chikage | Wasn’t you told not to play with the props? |
| Itaru | You’re right. Keep it a secret from the Director. |
| Chikage | … geez. |
| Itaru | Somehow you don’t look good. How about that plan to become partners with Misumi? |
| Chikage | … it doesn’t seem I can match with him. I thought this even more after spending the day with him. |
| To begin with, there is no way you could give off that feeling of partners that can rely on each other this easily. |
| Itaru | But you could do it with Gawain though? |
| Chikage | Unlike KniRound, this time’s world setting is kind of real you know? |
| Itaru | True it’s different from a fantasy setting… |
| Chikage | Since there are lots of parts that make me think of the real world, it’s getting more difficult for me to give off that “real” feeling. |
| Itaru | Thinking that way, what are “partners” to you? |
| Chikage | … |
| Itaru | Including everything else, how about you talk heart-to-heart with him? |
| If you make a wall between you two saying you don’t match, you won’t be able to produce good acting. |
| … I think it would be your turn to make a step towards him now. |
| Chikage | … |
| Itaru | I think it’s difficult to talk heart-to-heart just like that, so you could try to trigger some kind of event to help. |
| During Alice, Masumi wouldn’t listen to me so I invited him to the game center and beat the hell out of him… |
| Chikage | An event huh… |
| Itaru | Anyway, how about eating some grilled onigiri? That’s the only thing I can cook. |
| Chikage | When did you prepare all of that? |
| Itaru | They’ll be my companions to help me stay awake late at night. Onigiri late at night are the best. |
| Chikage | … |
| Itaru | Senpai? |
| Chikage | Nothing. How about I make some too… |
| |
| Misumi | … |
| Chikage | Is that where you hid? |
| Misumi | Chikage! What is it~ ? |
| Chikage | I was thinking about “communicating” since everyone has been talking about it. |
| … here you go. |
| Misumi | Wah, onigiri! Did you make it? |
| Chikage | It doesn’t look much like a triangle though. If you eat these, your heart will become warmer, right? |
| Misumi | … yup! They’re really splendid triangles! Thank you so much! Time to eat~ ! |
| (chews) It’s good! |
| Chikage | Great to hear it. |
| … hey. What are “partners” to you? |
| Misumi | Humm… |
| Before becoming friends with everyone else, I was always alone… I’ve never had such a person to call “partner” so I don’t know... |
| Chikage | … |
| Misumi | I tried to look by myself for the meaning of it, talk with other people, but I still don’t understand… |
| Chikage | … I see. |
| As for me, I had “two people” I could call that way. |
