| Itaru | ——I’m probably halfway done. I think I’ll make some coffee to keep myself awake... |
| |
| Juza | ——I’m gonna go give Muku the stuff I bought. |
| Tsumugi | Okay. Good night. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| Itaru | Hm? |
| Tsumugi | Ah, Itaru-kun. Good work. Taking a break? |
| Itaru | Yeah. I was thinking of drinking some coffee. Did you go somewhere, Tsumugi? |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, I went to the convenience store with Juza-kun. |
| Perfect timing. I also bought some sweets. Want to eat some with me? |
| Itaru | Having sugar late at night is the best. I’ll take you up on that offer. |
| |
| Itaru | All you got was really cute sweets. There’s candy, and there are macarons here— |
| Wait... Could it be that. |
| Tsumugi | Yup, as references for our characters. |
| Itaru | There’s no way. |
| Tsumugi | You think so? I don’t think the possibility is zero. We might be struck with acting ideas when we eat them... |
| Itaru | Expected nothing less from a theater nerd. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha. Well then, let’s eat. |
| Itaru | Thanks for the food. ...Ahh, the sugar is spreading through my tired brain and body... |
| Tsumugi | You must be very busy if you have to take some work home. |
| Itaru | There was a sudden reassignment of staff, and because of that it’s been chaotic. |
| Tsumugi | Ohh, I see. That’s tough for both the person involved and the people around them... |
| When I was still working, something like that happened too. |
| Itaru | You were a civil servant, right? |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, once. |
| Itaru | ...I honestly think you’re amazing for quitting work. |
| I’m always saying stuff about never wanting to work, but I don’t think I can do something drastic like that. |
| Tsumugi | Hmm... Is that so. I don’t think of it like that though— |
| Ah, Itaru-kun, aren’t you eating too many macarons? |
| Itaru | ...Well you see, I’m Prince Macaron. Just getting into character. |
| Tsumugi | Hehe, then I’ll forgive you. |
| |
| Boss | Sorry for suddenly asking you to take care of the materials for the presentation. You were a lifesaver. |
| Itaru | It was nothing. |
| (To be honest, I didn’t wanna work at home, and it was a pain in the ass...) |
| Boss | Take a day off and go to the amusement park with your girlfriend or something, for a change. It’s almost White Day after all. |
| Itaru | Ahaha, I don’t have anyone like that. |
| Boss | There you go again. Well then, I’ll go back in for a bit before heading home. Good work. |
| Itaru | Good work. |
| ...Phew. Now then. When I get home I’m playing games to make up for yesterday... |
| Tsumugi | Ah. |
| Itaru | We’ve been running into each other often since yesterday. Going home from work, Tsumugi? |
| Tsumugi | Yeah. Are you done with work, Itaru-kun? Good work. |
| Itaru | Good work to you too. Perfect, let’s go home together. |
| Tsumugi | Ah, sorry. I have something to do after this. |
| Itaru | I see. Gonna go see a play? |
| Tsumugi | No, but... I guess it’s something like that. Or not; it’s probably different. |
| Itaru | ? |
| Got a LIME from Tasuku. |
| Tsumugi | I got one too. |
Tasuku Takato Sorry, the practice for the performance I’m making a guest appearance on is taking a long time |
Tasuku Takato Chigasaki, can you go with Tsumugi to the amusement park? |
| Itaru | Amusement park...? |
| Tsumugi | Erm... |
| The truth is, it’s my first time acting at an amusement park so I wanted to have a feel for it, and I asked Tasuku to come with me. |
| Itaru | ...To think that I’d set off an event flag here.[1] |
| Tsumugi | A flag? |
| Itaru | Ahh, it’s nothing. Time to reply. |
|
| Tsumugi | Huh... |
| Itaru | Ah. Isn’t this sticker nice? Kazunari made it for me. |
| Tsumugi | Wow, as expected of Kazu-kun... But wait, that’s not it! |
| Itaru-kun, aren’t you tired from work? I’d feel bad making you go to the amusement park at this time. |
| Itaru | It’s still early. And I’m making it up to you since I couldn’t join you after practice the other day. |
| Tsumugi | But... |
| Itaru | Plus you treated me to some late-night sweets. And I ate too many macarons. |
| Tsumugi | ...Thank you. We’re already here, so we might as well check it out. |
| Itaru | Yup. |
