| Friendly-Looking Woman | Oh, hello there. Are you his little brother[1] that I’ve been hearing so much about? |
| Juza | Eh… |
| Sakyo | No he isn’t. |
| Friendly-Looking Woman | Ohh, so you’re him. How about joining us on the tour around the interior? I mean, since you’re already here and all―― |
| Juza | Oh, no I’m―― |
| Friendly-Looking Woman | I apologise, but I can’t purchase this property. |
| Real Estate Guy | Eh? |
| Sakyo | What are you talking about, Mother? |
| Juza | (Mother…?) |
| Real Estate Guy | But it is not easy to come across a spectacular apartment such as this. |
| Furuichi-sama seems to be interested too so how about you two go back home and discuss this―― |
| Sakyo’s Mother | I don’t plan on buying a house. I’m really sorry for troubling you. |
| Real Estate Guy | Uh, err―― |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Please excuse us. |
| Sakyo | Mother―― |
| Juza | ―― |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Hyodo-kun, was it? How about we go for tea together since you’re here? |
| |
| Juza | …… |
| Sakyo | …… |
| Juza | (How did things turn out like this…) |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Hyodo-kun, are’n’t you hungry? Just choose whatever you want, okay? |
| Juza | Eh… |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Here, I recommend the pancakes they have here. Oh, but I wonder if boys hate sweet things… |
| Juza | Ah, that’s not―― |
| Sakyo | He’ll end up eating heaps anyway so don’t go recommending things to him. |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Really? Let’s place out order then. |
| Juza | ―― |
| Sakyo | …Haa. |
| Juza | ….. |
| Sakyo Mother | And so, Hyodo-kun, what’s your relationship with Sakyo? |
| Juza | ――I’m in the same Troupe as him. We’re doing up a play like this for our next play… |
| Sakyo’s Mother | …Oh my! |
| Sakyo | You, what do you think you’re doing, handing out a flyer out on a whim just like that…? |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Aren’t you the lead actor!? Why didn’t you tell me!? |
| So Hyodo-kun’s the sub-lead. To think that the two of you were in the same Troupe… |
| I wasn’t aware of it at all since this guy here never talks to me about his Troupe nor plays at all. |
| Juza | …He’s going to be playing a guy from the Tales of Chivalry. You should come watch too since he’s gonna be totally absorbed into his role. |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Really? I’ll definitely turn up then. |
| Sakyo | You don’t have to come. |
| Sakyo’s Mother | I’m not going for your sake but rather, I’m only going because Hyodo-kun invited me to. |
| Sakyo | ―― |
| Putting that aside, why did you refuse that apartment? Was it not to your tastes? |
| Sakyo’s Mother | That’s not the reason why I refused it. I said that I never had the intention of purchasing a house, didn’t I? |
| Sakyo | For good or for worse, I’m the one purchasing it―― |
| Sakyo’s Mother | You don’t have to be obligated to purchase something as expensive as that. I’m already satisfied with the house we have right now even though it’s pretty old. |
| Sakyo | You wouldn’t even let me be filial to you? |
| Sakyo’s Mother | If that’s so then all you have to do is to show up more often back home. |
| That person’s also worries about you all the time. Whether you’re eating right or if you’re injured and the like. |
| Sakyo | I’m not a kid either so… |
| Sakyo’s Mother | In the very first place, that apartment didn’t have enough rooms to fit you into the equation, no? Where did you intend to sleep when you came home? |
| Sakyo | Things like that don’t really… |
| Sakyo’s Mother | I’ve already received more than enough of your filial piety on my end. You’ve always been wiring money back to us, haven’t you? |
| Please do use the money you’ve earned for yourself. |
| Hyodo-kun, this guy here has saved up heaps of 500 yen coins, so please eat as many sweets as you want, okay? |
| Juza | ―― |
| Sakyo | They’re not heaps. |
| Sakyo’s Mother | Oh my, have you stopped saving 500 yen coins? |
| Sakyo | ――Tch. |
| Juza | (Saving 500 yen coins…) |
| |
| Sakyo | …… |
| Juza | …… |
| Sakyo | …I’ve shown you a rather pathetic side of me, haven’t I? |
| Juza | Not at all…I’m also sorry for tailing you. |
| Sakyo | …It’s alright. |
| Juza | …… |
| Sakyo | …… |
| …Looks like it’s gonna rain. |
| Juza | …I’ve always been curious but why did you become a Yakuza? |
| Sakyo | ―― |
| Juza | …… |
| Sakyo | Tsk, the downpour’s really here. |
| …Will that family restaurant there do? |
| Juza | ? |
| Sakyo | I’ll treat you to something sweet while we seek shelter from the rain. |
| You can still stomach more, can’t you? I’ve got some leftover cash from the amount I planned to use. |
| Juza | …Yeah. |
| Sakyo | …That day too―― |
| It was raining on that day too. |
