Part 1Part 2Part 3

Misumi	Is Tenma working today~ ?
Izumi	Yeah, an interview for a magazine. He told me he'd be back a bit later.
Kazunari	I wonder which kind of pics they’ll take of him~ So looking forward to the release of the mag’!
TV	“The hobby of those popular models is fishing! It seems like they enjoy it during their free time.”
Kumon	Eeeh~ Even if they’re models, they are enjoying fishing huh!
Muku	I’ve heard several actresses telling it’s their hobby too.
Kazunari	Wow, isn’t that trend super duper cute?!
Izumi	True it’s cute.
Kumon	It’s super elegant! Somehow it looks so different from the image we all have of them!
Kazunari	Lately on Inste, it seems like the fishing fashion is trending!
Yuki	As expected of models and their stylists. They can take out the minor details of the fishing outfits and turn them into a fashion item.
Model A	I pay attention so I don’t rush it, and when the fish is approaching, I slowly--
Model B	Ah, it caught the hook!
Model A	Ah, it’s fast! I managed to safely catch it!
Yuki	Hehe, seems pretty fun.
Izumi	Yeah, makes me want to try it by seeing them having so much fun.
Misumi	I also want to try fishing!
Kumon	Me too!
Muku	Hey, Kazu-kun. I’ve thought about something just now…
Kazunari	Me too. It may be the same we’re thinking about, Mukkun. We now have to make a plan with everyone else…
Kumon	Oh, right! Then let’s just go fishing on Yuki’s birth--
Kazunari	Waaah!!
Muku	Waaah!!
Yuki	What’s with you two, suddenly raising your voices like that…
Kazunari	Aaah, erm, you see, it’s almost your birthday so think about what asking to “hello celestial sphere”!
Yuki	Oh yeah true, there was something like that. Is that something to do during everyone’s birthday?
Kazunari	Yup! Tenten and Sumi already used it so now it’s your turn, Yukki!
Yuki	Okay. I’ll think about it.
Muku	If you ask something to your own celestial sphere during your birthday, it’ll be granted true for one day… it really looks like something from a manga or novel!
	It’s amazing. I’d like to use it quickly too!
Kumon	It seems like the former members of the company were using it during their birthday parties, so I'm looking forward to using it too!
Izumi	(One of the company’s Seven mysteries, “hello celestial sphere”. I wonder what Yuki is going to ask for?)
Izumi	So this is where we’re going to fish.
Tenma	Eeeh~ I’ve heard about it, but it’s the first time I’m coming there.
Izumi	I already went there once with Guy-san.
Muku	True that. As for me I’ve already gone by that place once, but it’s the first time I’m actually inside!
Kazunari	Anyway, this is where we’re going to celebrate Yukki’s birthday!
Misumi	Yuki, happy birthday~ !
Yuki	Thanks. Why a fishing pond though?
Kumon	Last day when we watched a special feature about fishing on TV, you told it seemed fun so we decided to hold a fishing party for your birthday!
Yuki	Oh, true. When I told you about it, I remember you said something about my birthday…
Kazunari	We wanted to keep secret the place we’ll be bringing you until the very last moment, so we were super panicked!
Muku	Me too, that’s why I ended up raising my voice…
Izumi	We can relax at the utmost there, and catch lots of fishes!
Yuki	Heh~ I really meant it when I said it seemed fun. Alright, let’s get to it.
Summer troupe members	Yeah!

Yuki	Alright.
Muku	Ey!
Tenma	If you rush, there is a risk the shadow will reflect and your fish will escape so pay attention to that. When the fish is catching the hook, don’t put too much strength trying to pull it out of the water, just pay attention to make sure the fish is using all of its strength and pull it out.
Kumon	I know!
Yuki	It’s basic knowledge. Rather, it’s basic knowledge but don’t tell me you didn’t know about it?
Tenma	What did you say?!
	I heard about it from Banri when we went to that inhabited island but… is that something you know about naturally… ?
Misumi	They were showing it on TV last day~
Tenma	What?! So it means you guys knew about it while watching the TV? You’ve fooled me… ?!
Kazunari	Haha, you’ve found about it?
Yuki	Shush already, the fish will escape.
Izumi	Ah, Misumi-kun! You don’t pull it off?
Misumi	Ah, true!
	Okay… here we go~ !
Muku	Wow, you managed to catch it!
Misumi	Yay! I’m the first one!
Yuki	… ah, it might’ve caught the hook.
Kazunari	Oooh, you too, Yukki?
Yuki	… okay!
Kumon	Amazing! Yuki caught one too!
Yuki	Yay.
CHOICE 1: Yuki-kun, how is fishing? [+] Izumi Yuki-kun, how is fishing? Yuki Funnier than what I expected. I didn’t even expect I’d catch a fish this quickly so I’m surprised. Truthfully, I would’ve wanted to hold on longer and do it more at my pace and in a calmer environment.. But well, hearing those guys being noisy around while fishing is not that bad from time to time. Izumi Fufu, you’re right!
CHOICE 2: Ah, it might’ve caught the hook too! [+] Izumi Ah, it might’ve caught the hook too! Kazunari Ah, Director-chan! Do your best! Izumi Uuuh, got it! Yuki Pull it off now. I’ll help you out. Izumi Yuki-kun, thanks! … here we go! Misumi Ah, you managed to catch one! Izumi Yay, it’s all thanks to Yuki-kun! Yuki You’re welcome. Just continue that way.
Tenma	I won’t lose. I’ll show you guys I can catch one soon too!
Kazunari	Well said! I’ll also catch them!
Kumon	Oh that’s right, let’s challenge to which one of us will catch more!
Misumi	Seems fun~ !
Kazunari	Okay, let’s do it!
Tenma	I’ll tag along with you guys.
Izumi	Alright, I won’t lose either!
Muku	I’ll do my best!
Yuki	No bad. Since I’m doing this, I’ll be aiming at the victory.
Kumon	O~kay, let’s go!
Izumi	So in the end, the one who caught most was Yuki-kun.
Muku	He managed to catch so many of them, it was amazing!
Yuki	I honestly thought this alien of Misumi would’ve taken first place.
Tenma	He was in top form the first half, but then he ended up staring at the fishes huh.
Misumi	There were lots of triangles, it was super fun!
Kumon	I had lots of fun too! Let’s go again together sometime!
Yuki	I’ll tag along with you all from time to time.
Izumi	(it seems like they all had fun)
Kazunari	We successfully managed to celebrate Yukki’s birthday, so how about we come back to the dorm and you tell your wish to “hello celestial sphere”?
Misumi	Agreed~ !
Tenma	Well then, let us come back to the dorm first and take the sphere from the storehouse.
Kumon	Tadah~ ! Hello celestial sphere!
Muku	Yuki-kun, what are you going to wish for?
Yuki	Ummm…
	Okay, I decided.
	Today was fun but kind of sober. As such, I’d like to hold a birthday party of my liking.
Tenma	A party of your liking?
Yuki	Hello cancer’s celestial sphere… I want them all to wear cute and fluffy pajamas, and hold a pajama party.
Tenma	What?!
Muku	Ah, it’s great~
Kazunari	Very very cute~ ! As expected of Yukki!
Izumi	Fufu, it’s a cute wish, and somehow it looks fun.
Kumon	Looks fun! I wonder what fluffy pajamas feels like?
Misumi	Cute and fluffy pajama party~ !
Tenma	Those cute and fluffy pajamas… I hope they don’t look like the rabbit pajamas I had to wear as a punishment?!
Yuki	For a good-for-nothing actor, you’re good at telling~ ♪
Tenma	Just so you know I won’t be wearing them, okay!!!
Yuki	… hello cancer’s celestial sphere, postscriptum.
	There seems to be a guy here who doesn't want to cooperate, so please let me decide what’s going on in the party.
Tenma	Hey there!
Izumi	Hahaha.

Yuki	Mmm…
	(What… before I even had the time to realize it, I’m wearing a fluffy rabbit pajama…)
	Why?
Kazunari	Yukki, happy birthday!
Izumi	Yuki-kun, happy birthday!
Muku	Congrats, Yuki-kun!
Yuki	!
Kumon	Let us begin the pajamas party!
Yuki	Hey, you all… when… and what’s with the pajamas party?
	(don’t tell me… yesterday’s wish?)
Misumi	Yuki, what would you like to do?
Yuki	… I feel like this good-for-nothing actor would dislike it, but I would like to decorate the room cutely.
Kazunari	Sounds good!
Tenma	Of course I wouldn’t dislike it! I even figured out you’d say that, so I prepared the decorations already.
Yuki	Oh.
	There are really lots of cute decorations… despite a good-for-nothing actor, that’s not too bad.
Tenma	Alright, let us begin to decorate the room. Yuki will tell us where to put them..
Summer troupe members	Okay~ !
Yuki	Okay so, put that balloon there. This will be there.
	I want to arrange this one a bit. Director, lend me a hand?
Izumi	Of course!
Yuki	I’ll also decorate Tenma’s side.
Tenma	Of course you would. You can decorate it cutely as much as you want. Which will you put?
Yuki	…
	(Usually he would complain and tell his opinion, but he’s not saying anything now…)
	(Somehow, it’s really weird)
Kumon	Finished!
Yuki	Yup, not bad.
Muku	It’s really cute!
Tenma	I can feel how delicate it is, as expected of Yuki.
Izumi	I brought sweets and juice.
Misumi	Yayyy!
Kazunari	Bday tension! Let’s get high!
Kumon	Hey, how about we play cards? Or talk about love?
Muku	Board games might be great too.
Misumi	Yuki, this candy’s really good! Eat it too!
Yuki	Ah, you’re right.
Kazunari	Everyone’s rabbit pajamas are way too cute. Going to take a pic and upload it on Inste!
Tenma	Great idea, let’s take a pic.
Yuki	Rabbit pajamas… ah, that’s right.
	Hey everyone, do a cute pose with your hands, imitating rabbit ears and end your sentences by “-pyon”.
Muku	Ah, sounds fun!
Misumi	Sankaku, sankaku da-pyon~ ♪
Kazunari	Yukki, happy birthday-pyon! You’re extra cute today-pyon!
Izumi	Yes, it suits you great-pyon.
Kumon	Pyon-pyoko-pyon~ !
Muku	This pajama party is really fun-pyon!
Yuki	Hahaha.
Tenma	Yuki, I’m a fluffy rabbit-pyon! ♪
Yuki	Disgusting. I didn’t even wish for this.
Tenma	Hey-pyon!
Yuki	Your compatibility with this way to end sentences is the worst.
	However, I feel like you’ll get better if you continue. Am going to take a video of this.
Tenma	Hey-pyon!
Kazunari	Alright then, let us play a game together-pyon!
Summer troupe members	Pyon pyon~ ♪
Yuki	Hmmm… it’s morning huh…
	(Eh… ? The decorations I put in the room yesterday are gone. The pajamas too… When did I change back clothes?)
	My smartphone…
	(The pictures disappeared)
	Hey, good-for-nothing.
	He’s not here… I suppose he’s already up and eating breakfast.
	Good morning.
Misumi	G’morning!
Kazunari	Yukki, good morning!
Yuki	Hey, did you put off the decorations in the room?
Muku	Room’s decoration? I didn’t…
Kumon	I didn’t enter your room. Maybe Tenma-san?
Tenma	What are you talking about? I didn’t touch anything either.
Yuki	… forget I said anything.
	Hey everyone, try and end your sentences by “-pyon”.
Kazunari	Eh, what? A new game? Sounds fun!
Muku	Sounds fun but a bit embarrassing I guess.
Misumi	Sankaku-pyon!
Kumon	The breakfast is good-pyon!
Tenma	What?! I won’t ever say it!
Yuki	…
	(After all, Tenma is Tenma.)
	You’re an actor but you can’t do it?
Tenma	Whaddya say?!
Yuki	Hahaha.
