“Desperate Struggle! Natsume VS Imaoji!”
 
Title: An unrelinquishable face-off 
 
-Investigation & Planning Division-
 
Natsume: Alright, I’ll draw next. 
(Which one’s the old hag……)
 
Imaoji: …… 
 
Natsume: You have her, don’t you, Shun-san?
 
Imaoji: Nonsense, no such thing. 
(...... How shrewd.)
 
Natsume: (...... That’s what he says, but he definitely has it.)
If I lose then I won’t be able to eat the premium grilled meat set, so go easy on me here, will you.
 
Imaoji: Not to worry. I hear the stir-fried vegetable one is also very delicious.
 
An adult’s serious battle over what’s for dinner. How will it end……

“Quickly… for now…?”
 
Title: Reading too much into it
 
-Kujo Household: Guest Room-
 
Kirishima: Hey, Shindo!
 
Shindo: W-What do you want?
 
Kirishima: Hehehe.
 
Shindo: (This grin… N-No way. Has he noticed…?)
 
Kirishima: Trick or Treatment!
 
Shindo: …… If you’re going to say that, then it’s “trick or treat”.
 
Kirishima: Really? More importantly, don’t you got anything on you to eat?
 
Shindo: …… Hmph. I’m sure your aim was to play a trick. 
But what a shame. As chance would have it, I happen to have candy on me today.
 
Kirishima: (Pego-chan pop candy?)
 
Shindo: (That scared me… I thought he had noticed the hajikko gurashi plush toy in my bag…)

“The similarities between terrifying men”
 
Title: Redheads… 
 
-Park-
 
Kagura: (...... What’s that person doing?)
 
Hattori: … Hah. If I block them here, I wonder how they’ll respond.
 
Kagura: (Huh? You’ve got to be kidding me. What does he think he’s doing to that line of ants!?)
 
Hattori: …… 
(It’s no fun to play with them if the other side doesn’t give back a reaction.)
I’m done here. 
 
Kagura: (Is this what all redheads are like……)
 
One of those redheads in question may or may not have let out a sneeze at the usual bar.

“When you’re bored of guarding the gates”
 
Title: Sharing information
 
-In front of the Castle-
 
HIYAMA: So you’re on guard duty at the West Gate today, TSUDUKI.
If you’re going to read a book, then under the tree beside the gate will be a perfect blind spot. 
 
MAKOTO: That useful information will come in handy. And you’ll be on the East side, HIYAMA… 
I reckon the Archdemon can’t see our movements there from where he is. 
 
HIYAMA: Yes, that’s true. It seems like I can freely devote myself to attending to the roses today. 
Incidentally, where is the General…?
 
MAKOTO: He’s in the middle of doing squats at the North side of the castle right about now. 
 
This castle is taking it easy today as well.

“Dread! A dad’s nightmare!”
 
Title: Keep the worrying to a minimum
 
-Investigation & Planning Division-
 
Yui: I’ve finally perfected it!! With this, I’ll… hehehe.
 
Seki: Yui? What’s got into you?
 
Yui: Theoretically, if I can make her drink even a drop of this—
 
Seki: (Can he not hear me…?)
 
Yui: —then her body will rapidly start shrinking into a palmtop size… 
 
Seki: !
 
Yui: If I do that then I can put her into my pocket and be with her 24/7!
 
Seki: Yui, give up on that idea! I can’t have you becoming a criminal…! 
 
Yui: I’m going to make her drink it right away. Muahaha! Ahahahahaha!!
 
Seki: W-Wait.
 
-Seki’s House: Bedroom-
 
Seki: Guh… 
(A dream, huh……)

“In the villain’s kingdom”
 
Title: A castle of chaos
 
-Inside the castle-
 
SUGANO: YOU-san~ Where are you~?
(This must be the time when he’s taking an afternoon nap somewhere……)
Sigh…… 
(It’s because the Archdemon is like this that it’s hopeless.)
(The card soldiers are even reciting poems to the flowers or spending their time writing…)
(And then there’s the General who’s bunny-hopping laps around the castle……)
Wait, doesn’t that mean I can do whatever I want too?
I’m gonna go see that girl then~
