| Izumi | —Ah, Masumi-kun. |
| Hatsue-san is coming over today, right? |
| Masumi | Yeah, I’m going to pick her up from here. |
| …The way you send me off like this always makes me think we’re like newlyweds. |
| Izumi | Sure sure. |
| (At a glance, Masumi-kun seems to be the same as usual but… |
| Recently he gives off the impression that something is not quite right.) |
| Masumi-kun, if it’s just my misunderstanding then it’s fine but… |
| Recently, did something happen? |
| Masumi | …There’s nothing for Director to worry about. |
| Then, I’ll be off. |
| Izumi | (So he says but… hmm, there probably is something though… |
| Maybe it was something he doesn’t want to talk about…) |
| (In that case, it’s not good to ask him forcibly…) |
| |
| Hatsue | Even though I’m only just troubling you again this time, |
| I hope it’s alright that I came again. |
| Taichi | Of course! |
| Tenma | Please come any time, whenever you have time. |
| Masumi | Grandma, is this chair uncomfortable to sit on? |
| Hatsue | It’s fine. |
| Masumi | Aren’t you hungry? |
| Come to think of it, Omi made some sweets for you. |
| Hatsue | Oh is that so, thank you. |
| Masumi, is something wrong today? |
| Masumi | …No, I just thought that there’s nothing else you want me to do. |
| Hatsue | ? |
| Kazunari | By the way, Massu’s grandma is also coming to watch the stage of the festival of the dead, isn’t she? |
| Hatsue | Yes. Masumi invited me. |
| I am really looking forward to everyone’s play. |
| Taichi | Everyone’s working hard together to show Masumi-kun’s grandma their cool side. |
| Tenma | Yeah, of course. |
| Azuma | The festival itself looks spectacular as well. |
| Kazunari | Yep yep! I heard various vendors will be out as well so I think it’ll be fun to go there too! |
| Apparently there’ll be some kinda foreign food there too, but the number 1 highlight looks like the stall where you make candles and marigold flower bouquets! |
| Those who make a bouquet at the stall, will be able to make an offering with them to the altar. |
| Hatsue | Making flower bouquets out of marigolds, it seems fun. |
| Izumi | Even though it's an overseas festival that became a motif, |
| It seems they use a large amount of marigolds for the altar. |
| Hatsue | …Is that so. |
| I’ve come up with what I want Masumi do to for me. |
| Masumi | What is it? |
| Hatsue | At the festival of the dead, do you mind offering a candle and bouquet for your grandpa? |
| Masumi | I got it, I’ll do it. |
| |
| Azuma | Hatsue-san has already gone home, hm. |
| Masumi probably went to see her off. |
| Izumi | Yes. |
| (Everyone and Hatsue-san were enjoying talking but…) |
| (Masumi-kun, towards Hatsue-san somehow, |
| It’s like he was too overprotective. …Hatsue-san also mentioned it.) |
| Azuma | …There are wrinkles between your eyebrows, Director. |
| Perhaps, you’re worried about Masumi’s unusual state? |
| Izumi | Azuma-san also thought so? |
| Azuma | It’s because it was easy to notice. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun… what could be up with him? |
| Tsumugi | …Um, Director and Azuma-san, do you have a minute? |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san. What’s wrong? |
| Tsumugi | Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but because I heard what you two were talking about… |
| I understand Masumi-kun’s worried feelings as well, |
| So I was thinking I should tell you a little bit. |
| Azuma | Tsumugi, do you know something? |
| Tsumugi | …Actually, Masumi-kun has something he wants to ask Hatsue-san. |
| But, in order to ask it he needs a little courage… |
| Furthermore, Director and Azuma-san, |
| You probably know what it is. |
| Izumi | We… do? |
| Azuma | Hmm, what could it be… |
| Tsumugi | When Masumi-kun’s heart is ready and he is able to ask and say it, |
| Won’t you wait for him until then? |
| I think me hearing the story from you two here will be a little different than Masumi-kun talking about what he is worried about so... |
| Izumi | I understand. If Tsumugi-san understands what Masumi-kun is worried about then I feel at ease. |
| Azuma | Yes, I agree. |
