Part 1Part 2

Kazunari	Yay, it’s my win~!
Friend A	Dammit, I lost…!
Friend B	Let's do 1 more game.
Kazunari	Ok ok!
	Been a while since I've played billiards, it's fun~
Friend A	Oh Kazu, isn't your drink empty? Anything you wanna drink?
Kazunari	Ah, I ordered something earlier so it's all good!
???	...Thank you for waiting.
Kazunari	Thanks... huh!? Massu!
Masumi	...Why are you here?
Kazunari	Didn’t think this is where you’d work part-time~!
	Even if it’s for a limited time, working at such a stylish place kinda makes me jelly!
Masumi	...You’re a bother. Hurry and go back.
Kazunari	It’s fine, I’ll go in a bit. It's hard not to admire your part-time appearance~
???	What’s this, could you be Masumi-kun’s friend? What a handsome-looking man~!
Nishikido	Ah, I’m the store manager Nishikido. Call me Nikki~!
Kazunari	I’m Kazunari Miyoshi! Yoropiko!
Nishikido	That lively spirit is good~! We’re gonna get along pretty well.
Kazunari	Totes~! Nice to meetcha Nikki!
Nishikido	Likewise!
Masumi	...Sigh.
Banri	Huh, Masumi’s part-time job?
Kazunari	Yeah yeah! It was a crazy coincidence~
	The ambience there was great, I’ll go back sometime soon! I haven’t played billiards in a while too so I got hooked~
	I even want to play right now! It’d be nice to casually play billiards in the dorms~
	I want a billiard table but if you buy something like that, Furuche-san would get mad…
	Even if you can buy it, it looks expensive~
Banri	That's true.
Tasuku	So you were here, Settsu.
Banri	Yo, Tasuku-san.
Tasuku	I fixed the wristwatch.
Banri	Oh, thanks.
Kazunari	As expected of Takusu, the in-house repair unit!
Banri	Tasuku-san can fix anything so asking him helped a lot. Isn’t it about time you start doing full-fledged DIY projects?
Tasuku	That's ridiculous.
Kazunari	--!
Tasuku	What's wrong, Miyoshi?
Kazunari	That’s right, why didn’t I think of that!

Izumi	(I had a meeting and it got extended. It's already completely nighttime.)
???	...
Izumi	(Huh, there's someone walking on the other side...)
Izumi	Sakyo-san!
Sakyo	Ah, it's Director-san. Are you heading home as well?
Izumi	Yup! Good work today, too.
Izumi	Phew...
???	--!
Izumi	...Somehow the lounge is quite lively.
Sakyo	That rowdiness never changes.
Izumi	Ahaha. But, isn't it nice to have good relationships with each other?
Sakyo	Even so, there's a certain degree to that.
Izumi	(That's true, it does feel livelier than usual...)
Izumi	We're home--...
Citron	Oh, it's my win!
Tenma	Dammit... One more!
Izumi	!?
	(T-There's a billiard table in the lounge...!?)
Sakyo	...What's with this table?
Kazunari	Ah, welcome home you two! You kept us waiting!
Izumi	Kazunari-kun!? What's up with that appearance...
Kazunari	Isn't it great? I got it from Yuki who made it~!
Yuki	I only remaked it though.
Kazunari	I really wanted to do a billiard tournament in the dorms~ I wanted to create the ambience so I asked for help.
Sakyo	Where did you get the money for the table and the set of tools?
Kazunari	I got help from Takusu and Chikachon to make the billiard table~!
	Since they made a pretty full-fledged table, it looks like the real deal, right?
Izumi	They made this? Amazing...!
Yuki	Tasuku and Chikage were pretty enthusiastic.
Izumi	T-They're unexpectedly in high spirits...
Kazunari	I borrowed the cue and balls from a college friend~ That's why it practically took no money at all!
	I really wanted to play billiards in the dorms. I earnestly asked everyone with a lot of things so it became quite full-fledged☆
Izumi	As expected of your communication skills...
Citron	Kazu's communication skills are amazing! Thanks to him, I can do bowling!
Yuki	There's so much mistakes that I can't completely form a retort.
Kazunari	By the way, this in-house repair unit's original billiard table lights up when the ball enters.
Citron	As expected of Tasuku and Chikage, they have good imagination!
Tenma	What kind of feature is that?
Kazunari	But hey, no money was spent. It's easy to play, so awesome!
Sakyo	Geez... When it comes to playing, you become shrewd.
Izumi	But, it looks fun so it's fine, isn't it?
Kazunari	And with that, Kazunari · Miyoshi · Productions! The in-dorms billiard tournament is now opening!
