Izumi	Hmm, after this day...
Sakyo	Director-san, are you here? About the next week's practice...
Izumi	......
Sakyo	Oi, are you listening.
Izumi	Eh? Ah, I'm sorry! I was absorbed in reading...
Sakyo	...Geez... What are you reading?
Izumi	It's a pamphlet of the art festival held in the next town. I got this when I helped a theater company--
	It seems like it's a big festival because the whole town is going to be involved.
Sakyo	I feel like I've heard about it somewhere.
Izumi	On top of that, Tsuzuru-kun's older brother, Tadoru-san is going to hold a special exhibit at a museum in the town.
	This year's theme is Greek mythology.
	The theme park performance's theme is also Greek mythology so I thought it would be a good reference.
Sakyo	I see.
Izumi	But the art festival's duration is only for 3 days, same goes for the exhibit. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit everyone's schedule.
	So I thought I'd just go alone....
Sakyo	.....
	...... Would you like to go with me?
Izumi	Eh? Sakyo-san, did you say something?
Sakyo	What I'm saying is... I can take you there.
Izumi	Ehh? Sakyo-san, do you want to go with me?
Sakyo	The duration period is written in the pamphlet, isn't it? If you are planning to go on the first day, I am free.
Izumi	I'm good with that schedule too! Let's go on the first day then!
Sakyo	However, unlike Miyoshi and Yukishiro, I don't have as much knowledge about art and mythology.
Izumi	It's totally fine! It seems like the main purpose of the event is to make people feel closer to art!
	Let's go there with a feeling of wanting to experience the atmosphere of Greek mythology.
Sakyo	We will go there to deepen our understanding of our performance's theme. Don't get carried away and lose track of your purpose.
Izumi	That goes without saying!
Sakyo	Maybe I should study a little too....
Izumi	Wah ..! It's brimming with visitors!
	I often come here to help other theater companies but it's my first time seeing the town with this many people.
Sakyo	Certainly, I didn't expect the town to be as crowded as this.
Izumi	Ah, looks like there will be a performance event at the museum.
Sakyo	Performance? ......Is it something like a street act?
Izumi	Probably. Let's watch it.

Izumi	Heh, so they have food stalls too! Is this a candy crafts stall?
	There are various candy crafts...
Sakyo	It's Hades.
Izumi	Hades?
Sakyo	Hades is the god of the underworld in Greek mythology. Looks like the stall is specializing in Greek mythology candy crafts.
Izumi	Is that so? Then, how about this one?
Sakyo	It's Apollon. The one next to it is Zeus.
Izumi	Amazing...! I have done some research too but I can't figure out which god is who by just looking.
	....Eh? But Sakyo-san, didn't you say you don't have much knowledge about Greek mythology?
Sakyo	.....
Izumi	Perhaps, did you especially study for today?
Sakyo	..... Shut up. Even if I am just watching the performance, it is important to gain some prior knowledge.
Izumi	( He really did his research. I'm kind of happy. )
	Why don't we buy candies on our way home?
Sakyo	....Only if it's not sold out yet.
	There's a lot of visitors in the museum too.
Izumi	You're right. The performance event is going to be held here but...
	Hmm.... There's a lot of people but I can't find the venue or even the stage.
Sakyo	The thrones seem to be out of place though.
Izumi	Thrones? Ah, you're right.
	(Is it a resting area? They're properly lined up but the designs are all different )
	Ah, there's a caption. Let's see....
	These thrones are replicas of the thrones of 12 great gods of Olympus... It says.
Sakyo	In other words, it's an art piece. However unlike the candies earlier, I have no idea what's going on here.
Izumi	Isn't the throne belongs to Zeus? Look, it's the only throne that is vacant.
	That's right! Since we're already here. Sakyo-san, please sit down! I will take a picture of you.
Sakyo	Ah? Why me? .... Oi, don't push me!
Izumi	It’s going to be okay! There are people sitting on other thrones too. It seems like people are allowed to sit down. Come on!
Sakyo	....Geez.What's so interesting about taking pictures of me?
Izumi	Come on, Sakyo-san. Imitate Zeus's expression. There, cheese!
???	Zeus-sama.... ?
	Zeus-sama has returned...!
Izumi	Eh?
Sakyo	Ha?
Izumi	(Ehh, for some reason, the people sitting on other thrones began to gather around him... )
???	Zeus-sama !
Izumi	( Ah, perhaps, we're at the performance venue ! ? )
Sakyo	I understand now...
Izumi	Sakyo-san! Think of it as a street act! Act like Zeus!
Sakyo	....Tch. As if I have a choice.
	" Everyone !"
Performers	"Zeus-sama !"
Sakyo	"I, the ruler who brings forth gracious rain on drylands is here to give advice to those of you who are lost. What are your troubles? What is it that you want? Confide in me. "
Performer A	"Ahh, Zeus, our king. Please listen to my wishes."
Izumi	( As expected of Sakyo-san. He caught the atmosphere of the play in no time)
Visitor A	What is it? A play?
Visitor B	Interesting!
Izumi	( The visitors are gathering around too. I didn't expect we'll end up participating in the performance )
	(Huh? My phone is ringing? )
	(It's the person from the other company I went to help with the other day...! Can't help it. I'll excuse myself then)
	The call took longer than I expected.. Hmm, Sakyo-san....
	Ah, he's surrounded by visitors! Amazing.... As expected of Sakyo-san...Hm?
	(It's different from what he's doing a while ago. It's not part of the play anymore. )
Visitor A	Zeus-sama ! Please listen to my troubles.
	I am going to take entrance exams next year but I don't know if I will pass...
Sakyo	The future will not come to those who are not confident enough. Do as much as you can starting now, one step at a time.
Visitor A	..... Y-yes ! Thank you very much!
Visitor B	Zeus-sama ! There are things I am worried about too ..... !
Izumi	(Ehh ! He's become more of a fortune-teller than a god. )

Izumi	Thank you so much for coming with me today, Sakyo-san. It was a great learning experience and I had so much fun.
Sakyo	Yeah, it was a good opportunity to learn about Greek mythology.
	However, I didn't expect to perform. I ended up giving life consultations too.
CHOICE 1: "Your role as Zeus suits you well" [+] Izumi Sakyo-san, I think your role as Zeus suits you well. Sakyo Things only went well because I studied beforehand. Izumi That's one thing but not only that. You are giving off a dignified atmosphere. It was perfect for you. I read the description at the museum. Zeus is known as the father of gods and mortals. It is said that he is protecting the order. Sakyo-san is like a father to Autumn Troupe and you are protecting the order within the company too. It's kind of similar! Sakyo The hell are you talking about. Well, the performance itself was a good reference for studying the play. Izumi You're popular with both performers and visitors. It was super cool.
CHOICE 2: "The life consultation was very popular" [+] Izumi Your life consultation session was very popular. You were surrounded by a lot of visitors. Sakyo Why in the world did it end up like that.... Izumi I'm sure it's because your advice was accurate. You are always giving your advice when it comes to everyone's play. I have received a lot of advice from you and I know I can rely on you. I'm sure the visitors think that your advice is very reliable. "It's very encouraging" ! That's what I'm thinking. Sakyo Well there are people in the company who wishes me to shut up. Izumi ( Ahaha.. Perhaps he's talking about Azami-kun and Banri-kun ) (Nevertheless, everyone trusts and respects him so much.)
Izumi	We're home----
Sakoda	Bro---- !!
Izumi	Y-you freaked me out.
Sakoda	Ah, sorry 'bout that, sis.
	Bro ! Please give me a life consultation!
Sakyo	The hell are you talking about?
Izumi	Eh? Sakoda-san, did you go to the art festival?
Sakoda	Art fest? Dunno what yer talkin' bout but Azami shared somethin' on Inste! Look!
Izumi	Eh, Perhaps it's a post of a visitor who asked Sakyo-san for life consultation?
Sakoda	It blew up, didn't it?
Sakyo	I didn't know it'll become a hot topic somehow...
Izumi	It's such a surprise, isn't it?
Sakoda	That's why I'm here! Please tell me about my future!
Sakyo	Aren't you asking for fortune-telling?
Sakoda	Ehh ~ Ain't it great ?! I want to receive your fortune-telling too!
Sakyo	Shut your mugs! Geez, can't help it... You'll never shut up if I refuse you now.
	.... Your future... I don't know when it will happen but it's going to be great--
	From where you are now, you will become a person who can support others.
Sakoda	R-Really ...!?
	Ouuuh !! My future's goin' to be amazin'---!!
Sakyo	Well, I don't know if it's going to be the case.
Taichi	Ehh !? Sakyo-nii is doing a fortune-telling !? Tell me about my future too !
Misumi	Sakyo's fortune-telling? Fortune-telling about triangles?
Kazunari	You're here! Frooch-san's Life consultation is blowing up on Inste! Hey, hey, give me sick advice too!
Muku	Uwaah, it's amazing. I wonder what kind of fortune-telling is it?
Citron	Sakyo, give me fortune-telling too~!
Sakyo	Aahh, I get it so shut up already.
	Don't just look at the trends. Calm down and look around and you might encounter an unexpected discovery.
Kazunari	I see~! Candid shots are totes bonkers for Inste! Got it!
Sakyo	Reading various books will help your growth. You will be able to find a great masterpiece.
Muku	Waah, thank you so much !
Misumi	Sakyo is amazing! Aーmazing !
Citron	Director too, is there anything you want to know?
Izumi	Eh? Me?
Taichi	Director-sensei is a girl after all. She's probably curious about kinds of stuff like romance!
Kazunari	Sounds great! Director-chan, ask him to give you fortune-telling too !
Sakyo	.....
Izumi	Hmm... I might as well try it...
	Umm..... What should I do to have a fateful encounter?
Sakyo	......
Izumi	( I-I'm kind of nervous...)
Sakyo	You....
	You're fine just the way you are.
Izumi	Just the way I am?
Sakyo	Who knows? The person who will love you just the way you are might just be within your reach...
Izumi	Just the way I am...
	I see! In other words, it might be someone who is okay with having three meals of curry every day!
Sakyo	That's not what I meant...
