Kuro: | Haah… Why is it so hot everyday, even though it’s September… |
Kuro: | (But the library is cool and refreshing… It saves the cost I’d have spent on a cooler, and moreover, I can read books for free…) |
Kuro: | ...Will the temprature cool even more if I continue studying? |
???: | Whaa!! How nice, I’m getting it! |
???: | Hey now, hey now. You’re causing a commotion for everyone around here, you know? Keep it quiet now. |
Kuro: | Hm…? |
???: | Ehhh!! But you planned to get it, right? |
Kuro: | (What’s happening? It’s pretty lively over there…) |
Kuro: | Good grief, being noisy even in such a place… |
Kuro: | (Hold on. Those voices, If I’m not wrong--) |
Ginga: | Let’s continue this conversation at home so we won’t bother anyone here. |
Rikka: | Right! This year’s moon viewing experiment is a little different, I need to prepare more. |
Kota: | What kind of flavor will it have? |
Rikka: | This is hypothetically speaking… |
Kota: | Will it be delicious? |
Rikka: | How about making a hybird moon viewing dumpling by mixing shiratamako, joshinko and dumpling powder? |
Kota: | I’ll taste it for you! |
Ginga: | Big Bro is a little curious about this too, but you two shouldn’t be so noisy in the library. Let’s go home and make the dumplings. |
Kota & Rikka: | Okaay! |
Ginga: | Fufu, this year’s moon viewing will be fun too. For now, we should go shopping. |
Kuro: | (Was that Ginga Kiyomiya and his brothers? I’m glad to see they’re getting along) |
Kuro: | Moon viewing dumplings, huh… I used to make them every year too, back then. |
Kuro: | (I rolled up the dumplings and my sister carefully refined them...) |
Kuro: | Get rounder and rounder… |
Kiyoka: | Kuro, what are you making? |
Kuro: | A big moon viewing dumpling! |
Kiyoka: | Hehe. Doesn’t it look more like a rice ball than a dumpling? It’s really big. |
Kuro: | The moon is big, after all! |
Kiyoka: | If it’s too big, won’t it take more time to boil? |
Kuro: | That’s riiight... |
Kiyoka: | ….However! |
Kiyoka: | Since you rounded the dumplings up, let’s put them in boiling water. |
Kuro: | Yeah! |
Kuro: | (Back then, I celebrated the seasonal holidays with my sister… On New Year’s, we had handmade Karuta… On Children’s Day, we made helmets from newspaper….) |
Kuro: | (They didn’t cost money, but thinking about them now makes them seem luxurious…) |
Kuro: | (I haven’t celebrated all these holidays in a long time, but it wouldn’t be bad to try again now with Alchemist…) |
Kuro: | ——But there hasn’t been a right time to break the ice… |
Raku: | What are you smiling there for? |
Kuro: | Uwah!!! |
Raku: | Now, now. Didn’t you ever learn that it’s no good to raise your voice in the library? |
Kuro: | Wh-what are you doing in a place like this! |
Raku: | The heat got to me, and I came here to read. It's the same for you, right? |
Kuro: | R-Right… |
Raku: | I was thinking of going home now that I looked at the materials. But I happened to hear something interesting. |
Kuro: | What is it? |
Raku: | It seems that the Kiyomiya brothers will participate in the moon viewing. Seasonal events are rather good, after all. |
Kuro: | Ahh, that’s right… I don’t think actively participating in culture and tradition is bad. |
Raku: | Hm? Are you also participating in the moon viewing? Calmly looking at the moon while drinking delicious sake and eating delicious food isn’t that bad. |
Raku: | How about going together? |
Kuro: | I think I’m fine… |
Raku: | That’s too bad. Well, I don’t particularly like the dumplings. For me, just watching the moon while drinking is enough. |
Raku: | I suppose I’ll go back to reading. Well, if you change your mind, don’t hesitate to tell me. |
Kuro: | (Moon viewing, huh…) |
*~* | |
Kuro: | We’ll resume practice after this short break. |
Saku: | Ha~h, finally break… Kuro’s too harsh. I’ll buy some water and come back. |
Baber: | Baber was given sweets and cold water by Eva-sama! |
Kuro: | I’ve also gotten supplies to stay hydrated. |
UJ: | Hello. Is it alright if I take a bit of your time? |
Kuro: | UJ. Did something happen? |
UJ: | Actually, a joint live with ArS has been suddenly decided. It seems its theme is moon viewing. |
Saku: | A moon viewing live? What on earth are we supposed to do for it? |
UJ: | It seems nothing has been decided except for the theme. |
UJ: | That’s why, I’d like for Alchemist to come up with a plan as well. |
Kuro: | Since it’s a moon viewing live, we can sing with the moon as background. But is there anything else we can do….? |
Baber: | Baber hasn’t done moon viewing before… That’s why, he can’t give any ideas… |
Kuro: | Baber… |
Kuro: | (Moon viewing… might be a good opportunity. That’s why—) |
Kuro: | Do you want to have a moon viewing party with Alchemist? |
Saku: | Eh? Moon viewing party!? |
Kuro: | Yeah. Our understanding of the event will deepen that way, and we may come up with ideas for the live. |
Baber: | Moon viewing! Baber wants to do it! |
Saku: | Ehhh~ If Producer-chan comes along then sure… A party with only 3 men is a little... |
UJ: | ...Speaking of which, the Producer seemed to be troubled by the matter of the moon viewing live. |
UJ: | This party might be helpful to her as well. Should I tell her about it? |
Saku: | Eh, really!? Then I’ll come, I’ll definitely come! Moon viewing with Producer-chan! |
Kuro: | Then it’s decided. |
Baber: | Baber will make dumplings. He’ll gift them to Mr. Rabbit who lives on the moon! |
Kuro: | (Looks like it’ll be fun…) |
Kuro: | Since we’re doing it, let’s make it the best moon viewing party! |
