Title: An honest man

-Revel’s Bar-

Otani: What perfect timing, Maki.

This here’s an app game developed by one of our clients. Wanna give it a shot?

Maki: ……

…… It’s quite hard to beat, huh.

But if you play it smart, then it’s not that bad.

Otani: You’ll need to be crafty about it.

……

Maki: (...... He’s definitely plotting something.)

Otani: Hey, Maki. Kagura’s coming by today, yeah?

I want to hear his thoughts on it as well so maybe I’ll get him to play it.

Maki: (...... I’m praying for you, Aki.)

“The cotton candy section chief & the grilled squid section chief”

Title: A hearty appetite

-At the festival-

Seki: (...... What’s Hattori-san doing?)

Hattori: Oh, Mr Section Chief. Hold this for me for a bit.

Seki: Okay, sure……

(Cotton candy…? And chocolate coated bananas and candy apple to boot.)

Hattori: Hey, pal.

Stall Owner: Welcome!

Hattori: I’ll take eight of your grilled squids.

Seki: (He still plans on eating more!? On top of that, eight of them!?)

“G-Goldfish are gold fish after all!”

Title: No one saw it

-Kujo Household: Living Room-

Shindo: (...... Are these goldfish?)

(Did Kirishima or someone get them?)

(...... But even so, they’re quite adorable.)

(No one’s…… here, right?)

What, so you want to be fed, huh?

Guess I have no choice. Here you go, go on, here……

Miyase: ……

Shindo: …… GUH!? C-COUGH COUGH!!

…… Yeah, so what’s with these fish?

Miyase: I didn’t see a thing nor hear anything whatsoever. You can relax.

Shindo: (That face says that you definitely did!! It's obvious you were watching!)

“Caught up in the showdown between aces!”

Title: I won’t let the prize out of my grasp

-At the festival-

The energetic voices of some fully grown ‘friends’ could be heard coming from the shooting booth this year as well.

Aoyama: What’s this, Asagiri? You’ve lost your touch.

Asagiri: Don’t be ridiculous. For a while now, there hasn’t been a single item that I haven’t managed to shoot down.

Aoyama: I’ve been shooting down way smaller and harder-to-hit items than you.

Asagiri: It’s not a matter of size.

In my case, I’m shooting down the heavy items.

Stall Owner: Y-You misters think you can cut me some slack here……?

[Plonk!]

Asagiri: Hmph. I’ve landed myself a Play Terminal 4. Did you see that, Aoyama?

Aoyama: Well, I scored myself an Appo Watch just now.

Stall Owner: ……

And so, another shooting booth disappeared from this festival.

“A forbidden love that transcends species”

Title: His charm

-At the festival-

Kyosuke: Hey Kagura-kun, is it okay if I have a go at the goldfish scooping?

Kagura: Sure…… We’ll leave after you’re done.

Kyosuke: Alright, I’m gonna catch a bunch of them. C’mon over little fishies~

Oh, this one’s cute. Come to daddy~ Haha, she’s also a lively one.

Kagura: As if you can catch them that easily—

(Are you for real!? The goldfish are approaching Kyosuke on their own!)

“Rights for the cute types”

Title: The world is kind

-At the festival-

Shindo: !

Arakida: (What’s with that guy? He’s really staring this way hard.)

Shindo: (Such a tough looking guy like him is wearing a children’s mask while walking about…!?)

……

Arakida: (Is he wanting to pick a fight with me? I should try and avoid meeting his eyes as much as possible…)

Shindo: (The world has probably started becoming more tolerant towards men who love cute things.)

(It must finally be the age for us to shine.)

…… You’re looking pretty good there.

Arakida: !

(Not really sure what’s going on, but I'm guessing that's a compliment…?)
