Haruka: Grandma! Grandma, happy birthday!

Grandma: Oh, thank you, Haru chan

Grandma: Is this flower for me? Did you make it with origami?

Haruka: Yes! I learned how to make it at kindergarten. I made it together with my teacher!

Haruka: Eheh. Are you happy?

Grandma: Oh, I’m very happy! I’ll treasure it a lot, Haru chan

Haruka: Oh…! And also, also…I’ll prepare something special, today!

Grandma: Really? Are you going to cook?

Haruka: Yes! After all, I was so happy when you made a lot of things for my birthday! And since today is yours, I want to do the same!

Grandma: However, cooking is difficult. Can you really do that, Haru chan?

Haruka: Everybody helps their mums, I can do it too!

Grandma: Oh my, I see.  You’re attending the final year of kindergarten after all

Grandma: Well, then. Please.

Haruka: Hooray! Leave it to me, grandma! What do you want to eat?

Grandma: Let’s see.. May I ask you for onigiri? 

Haruka: Of course! I’m a great onigiri maker! I always make them in the sand box, after all!

Haruka: And teachers always praise me because I can give them such a good triangular shape!

Grandma: I see. I can’t wait for it

Haruka: What else would you like to eat?

Grandma: Fufu. Onigiri will be enough

Haruka: No, no! It can’t be enough! You made a lot of meat and potatoes and hand rolled sushi for my birthday!

Haruka: You can’t get bigger if you only eat onigiri, grandma!

Grandma: You know, Haru chan, your grandma really loves onigiri. I’m happy with just onigiri. I’m going to eat a lot of them and get bigger

Grandma: Also,  we’re talking about onigiri made by you. They’re going to be very special

Haruka: …really? Are you really happy, grandma?

Grandma: Of course

Haruka: Got it! I’m going to make sooo many of them, that way you will be happier and happier!

Grandma: Thank you, Haru chan. Shall we start by measuring the rice together?

Haruka: No!

Grandma: What?

Haruka:  You can just sit down today, grandma. I’ll do everything by myself

Haruka: It’s forbidden for you to help me!

Haruka: You’re the star today, grandma! Relax!

Grandma:... Fufu! It’s been a while since I’ve been called “the star”. Thank you, Haru chan

Haruka: Eheh

Haruka: I’m in charge of hospitality, today

Haruka: Is this the cup to measure rice?

Grandma: Yes. Over there you can find the inner pot of the rice cooker. You can use that cup for measuring the rice and then put it inside the pot

Grandma: Do you know where the rice is?

Haruka: Yes! Must be in the kitchen downstairs…here it is!

Haruka: How much of it should I use…?

Grandma: Two filled cups are enough

Haruka: Filled… uh…it’s difficult… it doesn't come out…

Grandma: You need to squeeze it from the bottom, so more of it will come out

Haruka: Like this?

Grandma: Yes, well done. You’re really good at it, Haru chan

Haruka: Eheh! Just as expected from the best one in the sand box!

Haruka: Okay, once again… Heave-oh…! Is it okay?

Grandma: Good job. Now you need to wash the rice. But you can’t reach the sink, right, Haru chan?

Grandma: Wait. I’ll take a stool for you

Haruka: The one I use?

Grandma: Yes. Long ago, it was your dad’s

Haruka: My dad’s…

Grandma: When he was around your age he used to say he wanted to help me, so I bought one

Grandma: I think it should be fine for you, now. See? It’s perfect

Haruka:...thank you, grandma. I’ll take good care of it

Grandma: Fufu. I’ll teach you how to wash the rice properly. First, put the water in…

Haruka: So much of it?

Grandma: Yes. You need to completely cover the rice. It needs to take a bath in order to be clean

Grandma: Now you can start mixing it with your hands 

Haruka: Ahah! It’s a weird feeling! It’s burbling!

Haruka: Oh, look! The water turned white!

Grandma: It means you did a good job washing it. While you stir the rice, try to squeeze and push it

Grandma: That plate is too close to you, it’s dangerous… I’ll put it away

Haruka: Thank you, grandma! Grandma, am I doing it properly? Am I good? Does it look okay?

Grandma: You’re very good, Haru chan. I wouldn’t say it’s the first time you’re doing it

Grandma: The rice will cook deliciously

Haruka: Eheh, hooray!

Haruka: I’ll always clean the rice for you from now on, grandma!

Haruka: And I’ll always make delicious onigiri for you, forever and ever

Touma: Fuu… we have two whole hours before recording

Haruka: Yes, and even if we have a cake here it won’t take more than 30 minutes

Touma: Haru, look! A new video is out!

Haruka: Mh? What video?

Touma: Look! A puppy

Haruka: Ah! The account you follow

Touma: Yes! This time the video is called “Sleepyhead puppy who doesn’t want to get out of its owner’s bed”

Touma: Ah, I can’t believe it! It’s curling up under the futon! It looks so sleepy!

Haruka: It’s so cute…

Haruka: But, wait. It’s getting really big! Was it really this size…?

Touma: Puppies grow up in the blink of an eye. It’s already perfect at sitting up and giving the paw! Amazing, isn’t it?

Haruka: Ahaha, why are you so proud?

Touma: It’s just that I’ve been watching it grow up from the very beginning, so I feel somehow like a parent, you know…

Haruka: Humph, I watch these videos from time to time, so I must feel somehow like a relative…

Haruka: Oh, it’s stretching while yawning…!

Haruka&Touma: So cute…

Yamato: What are you looking at?

Haruka&Touma: Wah!?!

Nagi: Hello, Isumi shi, Inumaru shi

Touma: You scared me… ! N-nice to see you…

Haruka: Nice to see you. Are you here to have a cake too?

Yamato: I’m not sure if we’re going for a cake, but we have some spare time and so we came here. Then we saw a couple of guys sitting head to head in quite a friendly way and we came to say hi

Nagi: I’ve heard rumors about ŹOOĻ being very close and happy lately, but I had no idea you were close enough to be cheek to cheek

Haruka: T-that’s not true..! We were just watching a video, that’s it! Also, what rumors are you talking about?!

Yamato: You don’t need to feel embarrassed. There was a heartwarming atmosphere between the two of you, it was kinda good

Nagi: Yes! You looked very happy

Haruka: That’s… that’s because the puppy we were watching was cute! Touma, say something!

Touma: Well, it’s true we’re getting along lately. There’s no reason to deny it

Haruka: W-what are you saying?! Aren’t you ashamed?!

Touma: I’m not ashamed at all! On the contrary, I’m happy

Haruka: B-but…well…it’s not that I’m not happy, but…

Yamato: How heartwarming

Nagi: Indeed

Haruka: Okay, enough talking about us!

Touma: Ahah! If you watch this video too you’ll understand why we were sitting like that

Nagi: Oh, that’s a pomeranian! I think I’ve seen it somewhere

Yamato: Isn’t it the same dog Riku was watching at the dormitory? He said Inumaru recommended him these videos

Yamato: He said that it’s very cute when its owner is glad, because he happily wags its tail

Touma: Ah, yes! We’ve watched these videos on the job lately, I recommended them to Riku

Touma: It’s so cute when it narrows its eyes as it gets petted… look!

Everybody: So cute…

Touma: Hey, don’t you think it looks like Haru? 

Haruka: Mh? What do you mean?

Touma: I mean, the eyes, the hairstyle…  the performances too. It gives a similar atmosphere

Yamato: Ah, got it. Its big eyes and strong temperament

Nagi: Yes, and the fluffy hairstyle is also similar

Haruka: Really…? I don’t see it…

Touma: You resemble it especially when you’re laughing! I’m going to make some funny faces now, you try to laugh

Haruka: Funny faces? It doesn’t make me laugh at a-…

Touma: Look!

Haruka: Uh…ahahah! How can your eyes get so wrinkled?

Touma: I knew it! You really look like it!

Yamato: Aah, I get it

Haruka: T-that much…? Wait, the face you made was a low blow, Touma!

Touma: Eheh, it’s my absolute special face. It made Mina laugh as well 

Nagi: Oh, if we’re talking about funny faces our leader is as good as yours

Yamato: Hey, don’t talk nonsense!

Nagi: Okay, Yamato, go with your funny face! 3, 2, 1….

Yamato:...mh!

Nagi&Haruka&Touma: Ahaha..:!

Nagi: Yamato,  you’ve really got an ace up your sleeve!

Yamato: You asked me to do it!

Touma: Amazing, your eyes were wrinkled and crossed! So funny!

Haruka: By the way, I don’t really remember the reason why we ended up confronting our funny faces

Yamato: We’re not doing anything like that

Touma: Because we were saying you look like this puppy when you laugh

Haruka: Ah, you’re right. Well, I like puppies in general, but I guess it’s complicated

Nagi: Complicated?

Haruka: A puppy really loves its owners, doesn’t it? It’s written right in its expressions and gestures and comes directly from their heart 

Haruka: But its owner’s  love is not only for it. They probably have other pets, friends and family and things like that… things that are more important than the puppy

Haruka: Even if the owner is the puppy’s whole world. Maybe they will just throw the puppy away, when they don’t need it anymore…

Haruka: When I think about that I can’t really watch the puppy with an open heart, even if I find it cute. That’s why…it’s complicated 

Touma:... you’re really kind, Haru

Haruka: What?

Touma: We’re talking about a dog you didn’t even meet before, and you didn’t just say how cute and lovable it is… you though a lot about its feelings

Haruka: Well, yes. Once it grows up it appearance will change, but you should keep on caring for it anyway

Haruka: I wonder how many people in the world would keep on loving even when things change… even if things change a lot

Yamato:... I understand.  Once you welcome somebody in your life, you’re ready to be with them forever

Yamato: It’s pretty sad to love somebody and feel that they don’t love you back

Nagi:...and still, it can’t help feeling love. Human beings are creatures who needs to rely on somebody too

Nagi: Also, sometimes people understand this love and love unites them

Haruka: Mh…?

Nagi: It happened to me when I met Idolish7. And I guess the same thing happened to you when you met ŹOOĻ

Haruka:...yes…. Yes, it’s true

Haruka: In the past, when I loved somebody, I wanted to be loved back.  I’ve always been looking for that place, and now I found it

Haruka: It must be the same for this puppy and its owner. The lively faces they make are because they care for each other

Haruka: I think I can look at this puppy in another way, now

Momo: Once I entered elementary school I started having football training very early in the morning, so I couldn’t go to radio calisthenics with my sister anymore

Momo: That must be the reason why, whenever I try to think about the past, all that comes to mind is about those days

Momo: Also, if we were so good to attend everyday, my dad would reward us with delicious juice!

Momo: While rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I used to hold my sister’s hand and go to the calisthenics exercise together

Yuki:... You have a good sister, don’t you? Despite being little children, you really sympathised with each other

Yuki:...however…

Momo: W-what…?

Yuki: You’re always the same. You never really changed

Momo: Uh…because I always wanted to handle the situation by myself?

Yuki: Correct. But, well…I can’t say I don’t like this side of you as well

Yuki: Because not everyone can do it. There are millions of people out here who say they’re the loveliest in the world and it’s just fine-sounding talk

Yuki: However you, Momo, spring right into action for other people’s sake. And you do it in a wonderful, cool, proud way.

Momo: …Yuki….

Yuki: That said, I can’t forgive the fact you never talk to me

Momo: Yes… 

Yuki: I don’t want to be misunderstood, so I’m going to say it properly. I mean that I want you to share your pain and your struggles with me. That’s what a partner does, isn’t it?

Momo:...! Yes…! Yuki…! Your handsomeness level increased lately…! 

Momo: You even talked properly in order to avoid misunderstandings…

Yuki: Yes. I’m learning a lot

Momo: Ahah… well, I think I’m getting to like myself more lately

Momo: I caused you a lot of trouble, but I could protect people who are important to me and I’m having an optimistic talk with you, my special person, while sharing that*

Momo: Back then even if I could protect people, I couldn’t share anything with them

Yuki: …not even with your sister?

Momo: I just couldn’t. Maybe because she was family

Yuki: How are things going, lately? Are you in contact with her?

Momo: Ah, yes! We have a good relationship. But we both work, so there aren’t many chances we can meet

Momo: She sent me her feedback on what she watches on TV and opinions on Re:vale new songs

Momo: She even tells me the exact second of a scene from an anime she enjoyed the most

Yuki: I see. I’d like to meet her again, it’s been a while

Momo: Ahah! So you want to meet my sister on a regular basis!

Yuki: I just want to see your face when you're together with your sister. Sometime I want to taste your little brother’s face, and the Momose aura you had when we first met

Momo: S-so that’s what you think about when you look at us! It’s pretty embarrassing…!

Yuki: I don’t think I’d have the chance to see you being taken by the hand with a sleepy face, unless you’re with Ruri san

Momo: I’m not that much of a sleepyhead anymore! My name isn’t  “Yuki”...

Yuki: I was not like that years ago. I was the kind of child who would have gone to the radio calisthenics with a high spirit

Momo: What? You’re kidding 

Yuki:  I am

Momo: You scared me…! It’s heartbreaking when a handsome man lies as soon as he opens his mouth…

Momo: You’ve never done anything like radio calisthenics in your life, right?

Yuki: I haven’t. I don’t think I even knew there were something like that in the neighborhood

Momo: Well, if you’d have gone to the radio calisthenics you would have been just like you are when you’re on the stage, and everybody would be instantly thrown into an uproar

Momo: The old men who were playing gateball would have focused all their attention on you, and the old women as well, and all the children in the nearabouts too! And it wouldn’t have been radio calisthenics anymore. Definitely too dangerous…

Yuki: Radio calisthenics has such performance-oriented movements?

Momo: Uhm, well… actually, the way your arms go from around the waist to above may be considered a little scenographic…?

Yuki: Like this…?

Momo: Yeah! You’re good!

Momo: Fufu… ahahah! Ah, if only I was a Yuki… a Yukito kun’s neighbor, I would have taken you by hand and walked to the radio calisthenics together

Yuki: Is it okay to sleep on the park bench?

Momo: N-not at all…! We’re supposed to do it together! And then we could have a tasty juice once we’re done

Yuki: Isn’t radio calisthenics a children's activity?

Momo: It’s not only for children! There were also old men doing it

Yuki:.... then, when we’re old men, you’ll take me by hand and bring me to radio calisthenics

Yuki: You couldn’t do it in the past, but if you  get challenged in the future you can do it

Momo: I see… you’re right..!

Momo: I can do everything I couldn’t in the past, if I don’t give up and think I can succeed

Momo: Thank you, Yuki. If you’re by my side, I’ll get to like myself and become stronger

The end

Haruka: Torao! O-ha-shi (*chopstick)

Torao: Enough with shiritori. My bad for losing

Haruka:

Haruka: Now you’re supposed to take me out for ice cream, like you promised

Torao: Alright. I’ll buy you as many ice creams as you want

Torao: However, attacking with “shi” is prohibited from now on

Torao: It’s frustrating to even type “shi” now

Haruka: That’s funny www It’s kinda of a trauma

Haruka: Okay, I’ll go with “su” next time

Haruka:

Torao: Stop it or I’ll be too frustrated to type any kana from the “sa” group anymore

Haruka: Admission of defeat www

Torao: Okashi*, Ohitashi*,   Inarizushi*…    (sweets, boiled vegetables, deep fried tofu with rice)

Haruka: Humph! Well, only Yotsuba can beat me

Haruka: Just kidding

Haruka: I’m stronger than Yotsuba! 😬

Torao: Are you really talking like that about yourself?

Haruka: So what?? It’s the story of our war!

Haruka:  By the way, I wanted to ask you about the wrap-up party! Can we do it at your place?

Torao: Yes, it’s the biggest after all

Torao: Shall I call the pastry chef again? 

Torao: You said you wanted to eat that crêpe again, didn’t you? 

Haruka: Ah, the one I could watch a real chef make right in front of me! It was super good! The dough was overflowing with butter, and the cream was also full-bodied!

Torao: You’re a real food reporter

Haruka: Well, a crêpe made by a chef is fine with me, of course… but let’s try to make it all together, instead!

Torao: With “all together”, you mean us making a crêpe?

Torao: I don’t think I have that thing

Torao: That thing you use to mix the fresh cream

Haruka: You mean a blender?

Haruka: It’s okay, we don’t need to mix it! We can just buy whipped cream and wring it out

Torao: Can we really do that with a cream that just needs to be wrung out?

Haruka: Yes! We can buy it at the supermarket. They have it at the conbini as well

Haruka: It doesn’t take that much time if we just have to bake the dough

Haruka: It will be fun, don’t you think? Choosing what kind of sauce we can use for baking! We can go for chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, caramel sauce… whatever we like! You can also choose fruit sauce!

Torao: Can I…choose that?

Haruka: Yeah! It’ll be a Torao special crêpe 🐯

Torao: That’s going to be the number one special crêpe. I’ll get some fruit, then

Haruka: 

Haruka: Really?? Hooray! The melon you gave me last time was the best ever! Grandma loved it as well!

Torao: Give your grandmother my regards

Haruka: Okay, then each of us will bring something for the party. Minami can bring snacks and Touma drinks. 

Torao: I see

Torao: How about meat and potatoes? I mean, the one you shared with me before. It may be cliche, but it tasted like home

Haruka: Really?!

Haruka: The recipe was transmitted to me directly by Grandma! She will be happy!

Torao: Your grandmother is a first class chef

Haruka: Eheh, oh well… it gets more flavorful the second day, so maybe it’s better to make it the day before 

Torao: Do you eat the same thing for two days in a row?

Haruka: Of course! What else should you do when you cook big portions?

Haruka: The third day you can rearrange the meat and potatoes and make some curry! 

Torao: Understood. I’m gonna study

Haruka:

Haruka: Also! We’ll watch the rest of that foreign drama we left halfway the last time I came to your house. Be ready!

Torao: What?! You could have finished it even if you weren’t at my house

Haruka: You don’t understand 😐

Haruka: Isn’t it better to noisily watch that action stuff all together while eating snacks and having some drinks?

Torao: Well, I guess so

Torao: When the story’s atmosphere got tense ti was priceless to watch Touma gazing at the screen with his mouth open, while you were clinging to Minami’s arm

Haruka: What?! You can forget about that!! 

Haruka: If you keep on talking nonsense, I’ll get two ice creams!

Torao: I told you I’ll get you as many ice creams as you want. You’re the shiritori master

Haruka: Say it again😌

Torao: You’re the shiritori master, Haruka. I can’t wait for the wrap-up party

Haruka: Yes! Thanks, Torao!
