| Shiki: | It was definitely around here. |
| Shiki: | Oh! There, there! |
| Priest: | Oya? Aren’t you Kiraku Hajime-sensei’s-- |
| Shiki: | Ah, hello. I’m Master Kiraku’s best apprentice, Amabe Shiki. |
| Priest: | Dearest me… The other day we received a pottery delivery from you, didn’t we? |
| Shiki: | Yes. I received a message that they arrived safely, but I think I wanted to confirm with my own eyes that there was no problem. |
 | |
| Shiki: | This is the first time I’ve received a commission to make wedding souvenirs, so I want to thoroughly check that there’s no problem with the commemorative gifts. |
| Priest: | For visiting from such a far off place, thank you. Go on, please check inside. |
| Shiki: | Of course. Excuse the intrusion. |
| Shiki: | I’m glad nothing happened to the work. Please excuse me for picking this time to check. |
| Priest: | No, no. Thank you for your courtesy. In any case, they’re quite nice teacups. I’m certain everyone will enjoy them. |
| Shiki: | Ahaha. That would be nice~ |
| Priest: | Indeed. The marrying couple is scheduled to soon arrive for preliminary inspection. If it’s alright, would you like to greet them? |
 | |
| Shiki: | Ah, that’s okay. To be told the impressions first-hand would feel kind of awkward, so I’ll be taking my leave. |
| Priest: | I see… Then, please take caution on your way home. |
| Shiki: | Of course. If you’ll excuse me. |
 | |
| Shiki: | Haa… The tone of my voice becomes so stiff when it concerns work. I wonder what I should do after this… |
| Shiki: | As usual, maybe I should search for cute girls in town… huh? |
| Shiki: | Over there, is that Sanzenin-kun? |
| Shiki: | Ah? Next to a girl… hah!? Maybe his girlfriend! I’ve gotta see how this plays out! |
| Girl walking with Takamichi: | Actually, I wanted to commission Kiraku Hajime-sensei himself to make the pieces, but… |
| Girl walking with Takamichi: | Since the reservation list continues longer than three years, I was turned down. |
 | |
| Takamichi: | Is that so? If that’s the case, couldn’t I just save some money and ask him myself? |
| Girl: | Ahh, no no. Sensei doesn’t work for such things! |
| Girl: | Well, it was decided that Sensei’s best apprentice will make the work instead, so I was told to ask that person. |
 | |
| Takamichi: | Hehhh. Even so, I’ve heard of that Kiraku Hajime from somewhere… |
| Girl: | Jeez! Of course you have, sensei is a famous potter! |
| Girl: | It wouldn’t hurt to remember the names of famous people. Get a grip, Takamichi! |
| Takamichi: | I get it! ...Haa, though I thought it’s been a while since you returned to Japan, it still comes to this. |
| Girl: | Fufu. I returned to Japan to schedule and hold the ceremony, after all. |
| Takamichi: | That’s right. Though it’s such a long trip all the way here, there’s so much to put in order. |
| Takamichi: | ...We have to make sure you’re happy, huh? |
| Girl: | Yeah. I wonder if this will make me really happy |
| Girl: | But, the reality that I have to return overseas the day after the ceremony is kinda harsh… |
| Takamichi: | Yeah. You won’t be able to meet anybody for a while after you move back overseas |
| Girl: | Ahhh! This irritating conversation is over! Let’s hurry up and get to the inspection of the ceremonial hall! |
 | |
| Takamichi: | Yes, I know-- wait, hey! Don’t entwine our arms without my permission! |
| Girl: | Fufu! Please be my escort! |
 | |
| Shiki: | This is big… |
| Shiki: | Sanzenin-kun is getting married overseas…? |
