TV	“The next night of the full moon will have good weather and it’ll look especially beautiful.”
Izumi	Hee, a full moon huh.
Sakuya	Since it’s a full moon, you have to make a wish!

Tsuzuru	Noboru says that wishes are more likely to happen on a full moon.
Sakuya	Eh, is that true!?
Omi	It may not be a bad idea to give it a shot this month.

Kazunari	Snap a pic for Inste, Omimi! I’ll help make it go viral!
Tasuku	But it isn’t just the full moon that’s beautiful, right? I hear that often, not just the moon in general.
Azuma	There’s other names for the moon like strawberry moon and super moon.
Guy	There’s even more names I believe.
Tsumugi	It’s romantic.
Homare	Yes, it’s quite spiritual and memorable.
Izumi	Huh? By the way, Hisoka-san’s not here… wasn’t the shop closed today?
Guy	Yes.
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 1-04.png
Homare	He hasn’t gone out.
Tasuku	Then, maybe up there.
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 1-05.png
Tsumugi	Should I call him?
Izumi	It’s alright, I’ll go. Just up there as usual.
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 1-06.png
Azuma	Then, by all means.
Homare	Please bring these marshmallows.
Izumi	Thank you!
	Hisoka-san—.

Hisoka	…
Izumi	EH!?
Hisoka	What do you need?
Izumi	You’re not sleeping…
Hisoka	… I was reading.
Izumi	How unusual for Hisoka-san to be reading. What book?
Hisoka	A book about cocktails.
Izumi	I see. A cocktail recipe book then?
Hisoka	It has recipes… And the history and some tips and tricks too. Some important terms too.
Izumi	Hee, that’s pretty helpful. You’ll be a pro by the end.
Hisoka	… Most of the time, Guy’s making cocktails at the bar—
	I wanted to help make them, so I’m studying.
Izumi	(That’s thoughtful, Hisoka-san…)
Hisoka	… Nom nom.
Izumi	Hm?
Hisoka	Nom nom.
Izumi	Ah, the marshmallows I brought! He started eating them…!
Hisoka	… Of course, I did, it’s me, right?
Izumi	Yeah, but… if you eat too much, you’ll forget about dinner.
Hisoka	… I used my head for too much studying, I need sugar.
Izumi	Sigh…
	W-well… as long as it’s just a bit?
Hisoka	Thanks, Director.
	… Next time, I’ll make a cocktail for you, so try it.

Izumi	(I bought a book that’s really interesting. I can’t wait to read it!)
	(Hmm. Coffee goes well with reading, I wonder if I should buy some coffee beans.)
	(Speaking of coffee, maybe it’d be a good idea to ask Tsumugi-san and Banri-kun. I’ll LIME them…)
	Wa, they answered immediately. Which one which one…
	(The fact both of them recommended this place must mean it’s really good.)
Clerk	Welcome.
Izumi	(Ah, that’s right, this place has a cafe attached. Maybe I should try something popular—)
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 2-02.png
Hisoka	Zzzz…
Izumi	Hisoka-san!? In a place like this…
	Hisoka-san, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	Nh…
Izumi	He won’t wake up…
	(But he’s wearing his uniform, so he must be on break.)
	(I probably shouldn’t leave him like this…)
	Hisoka-saaaaan.
Hisoka	Zzzz…
Izumi	Hisoka-san, up!
Hisoka	Zzzzzz…
Izumi	I have to go buy marshmallows—
	Aha!
	Here ya go, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	Hn…
	Sweet… marshmallows.
Izumi	He woke up, good! Good thing marshmallow cocoa was on the menu…
Hisoka	Director…? What are you doing here?
Izumi	That’s my line. Why are you at this shop, Hisoka-san?
Hisoka	I came to buy coffee beans for the bar—
	I got sleepy after drinking marshmallow cocoa and I fell asleep soon after I guess.
	Thanks for waking me up, Director.
Izumi	That’s why you’re in your uniform.
Hisoka	And Director?
Izumi	Tsumugi-san and Banri-kun suggested this shop to me for coffee beans so I came here.
Hisoka	I see. … Guy and I learned about this place from Tsumugi too.
	I don’t know much about coffee, but the coffee’s good here.
Izumi	Hisoka-san’s had some?
Hisoka	Yeah, a little bit at Guy’s shop.
Izumi	I look forward to drinking some then.
	… Ah, the time!
	You have to go back now! You’ll get in trouble with Guy-san—
Hisoka	It’s fine. I still have marshmallow cocoa.
Izumi	(Hisoka-san’s really taking his time… Still going at his own pace.)

Izumi	(Hmm, I’ve read a lot. This book really was interesting.)
	(I should probably sleep soon though—)
	… But I’m not really sleepy.
	(Maybe it’s because of all the coffee I drank. So then should I keep reading or take a bath…)
	Oh right. Tonight’s the full moon.
	… Time to get up.
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 3-02.png
	Ah, it’s cloudy… I can’t see the full moon. That’s too bad.
	(But the clouds are thin, maybe I can see the moon through the gaps.)
	Then, how about this road.
	(At this time, all the shops are closed so it’s dark and hard to see around.)
	Ah, that’s Hisoka-san in front of the shop. Hisoka-san—
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 3-03.png
Hisoka	…
Izumi	(Uwaa…)
	(The full moon’s behind Hisoka-san…)
	(Hisoka-san and the moon look so amazing, like they fit together…)
Hisoka	… Welcome.
Izumi	Ah—good evening.
Hisoka	…?
	… Aren’t you coming in?
Izumi	Yeah. Pardon me.
	Where’s Guy-san?
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 3-04.png
Hisoka	A customer left something behind, so he’s getting it back to them.
	There aren’t very many people today, so we’re not that busy.
Izumi	(There really are few people, the room has this calming feeling…)
Hisoka	So, I’m making cocktails. … Do you want one, Director?
Izumi	I guess… I’ll take whatever you recommend.
Hisoka	Got it.
	A kiwi martini.
Izumi	Uwaa, so cute! On the edge of the glass, is that a kiwi… bird?
Hisoka	Yeah, a kiwi bird.
Izumi	I see. Then, I’ll enjoy it.
	… Mm, it’s refreshing and delicious! You’re really good at making cocktails, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	… That’s good to hear.
Izumi	The sweetness is just right so it’s easy to drink.
Hisoka	By the way…
Izumi	?
Hisoka	You looked relieved a bit ago. In front of the shop.
Izumi	Ahh, that’s…
	The full moon just looked really beautiful—I suppose it just really complimented Hisoka-san when it was behind you.
Hisoka	… The moon and me?
Izumi	Yeah. Like you’re both mysterious… I was just really fascinated by the sight.
Hisoka	…
	Do you want another glass, Director?
Izumi	Fufu, sure why not.
Hisoka	Here.
Izumi	Waa, the vibrant color on this cocktail…!
	The purplish blue is really pretty. What’s the name of this cocktail?
Hisoka	Blue Moon.
Izumi	To think there was a cocktail with that name. What a perfect cocktail for tonight’s beautiful full moon.
Hisoka	… Right?
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 3-05.png
CHOICE 1: It has a nice scent. [+] Izumi This cocktail has a really nice scent. Hisoka Can you tell what scent it is? Izumi Umm, let’s see… It’s a little sweet… flowers? Hisoka Yeah. What kind of flower do you think? Izumi Eh? I think it’s… Hisoka If you can’t tell, drink a bit more. Izumi But if I drink at such a pace, I’ll get drunk in no time. Hisoka It’s alright, I’m here. … Director can get drunk without worry tonight.
CHOICE 2: Is this a result of your studying? [+] Izumi This cocktail must be the result of your studying. Hisoka Yeah, I guess. I remember nearly all the recipes in the book already. Izumi Really!? (Hisoka-san’s focus is sometimes really admirable…) Hisoka When I saw this cocktail in the book, I somehow knew it’d fit you— I’m surprised Director came here… on the night of the full moon no less. Maybe it’s how I remembered Blue Moon? Izumi Well, it tastes very good, thank you.
	By the way, don't cocktails have a language like how there's a flower language.
	What does Blue Moon mean in cocktail language?
Hisoka	… “Perfect love”.
Izumi	Eh...
File:Hisoka Walking Through a Peaceful Night 3-06.png
Guy	You’re here, Director. Welcome.
Izumi	Ah, Guy-san!
Guy	Your face is a little red… did you drink too much?
Izumi	No, I’m only on my second glass… So I’m good!
Hisoka	Then… Would you like a refill? On your Blue Moon.
Izumi	Uhhh… Maybe not a good idea.
