Minori

Listen

Isn't this the first time just the three of us went somewhere together like this?
2

Shizuku

Listen

I believe so. It usually really is all four of us when we go home or stop by a store.
3

Shizuku

Listen

(I was really hoping that Airi would join us but...)

Shizuku

Listen

I heard that the Japanese confectionary shop at the mall is selling these special sweets only for the next two days.
5

Airi

Listen

What?! Special sweets...?
6

Shizuku

Listen

Yes! How about we head over to try some together?
7

Airi

Listen

Sorry, I'm busy right after this too.
You guys go have fun without me...
8

Shizuku

Listen

It must be a very urgent or important matter if Airi's willing to pass up something she loves so much...
9

Haruka

Listen

I have to think so too.
Still, maybe we should buy something for her if it can keep for a few days.
10

Minori

Listen

Oh, good idea!
What do you think, Shizuku?
11

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, that's a wonderful idea.
I was just thinking about getting something for my family as well.
12

Shizuku

Listen

(Oh no!
I forgot to ask Shii what I should get her...)
13

Shizuku

Listen

Hm...?
14

Shizuku

Listen

Oh...!
Minori, Haruka, you'll have to excuse me for a second!
15

Haruka

Listen

Huh? Sh-Shizuku...?

Shizuku

Listen

Shiii!

Shiho

Listen

Shizuku?!
18

Shizuku

Listen

And hello to you too, Ichika, Honami.
Are you on your way home from band practice?
19

Honami

Listen

Yes, we all have work after this, so we were just about to go our separate ways.

20

Minori

Listen

Shizuku!
Wait, Shiho?! And you two!
21

Haruka

Listen

You had us worried there for a second running off like that, but I guess it's because you saw Hinomori.
22

Ichika

Listen

Even so, she ran a fairly long way to catch up to us...
23

Minori

Listen

Y-Yeah, we were pretty far away.
Also, I doubt I could ever sprint like that after practice.
24

Haruka

Listen

Only Shizuku has eyes good enough to spot her own sister from such a distance.
25

Shizuku

Listen

I have a feeling that I could find Shii wherever she is in this world.
26

Shiho

Listen

That's actually kinda scary...
27

Shiho

Listen

Anyway, why did you have to run over here?
28

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I almost forgot!
29

Shizuku

Listen

We were just about to go to the Japanese confectionary shop at the mall.
30

Shizuku

Listen

Mom asked me to bring something back and I realized that I should get you something as well, Shii. So what would you like?
31

Shiho

Listen

You came all this way just to ask me that?
32

Shizuku

Listen

Yes! What would you like?
There's quite a lot for you to choose from.
33

Shiho

Listen

Something simple's fine, like mochi with sweet soybean powder or ohagi...
34

Shizuku

Listen

Understood.
Mochi with sweet soybean powder or ohagi!
35

Ichika

Listen

Also... Is Momoi not with you?
36

Minori

Listen

She said she has something to take care of and left a second ago.
37

Haruka

Listen

Hm? Speaking of which, where's Tenma?
38

Honami

Listen

She also said she's busy and left some time ago.
39

Ichika

Listen

It must've been important too considering how anxious she seemed during practice today.
40

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I see.
41

Minori

Listen

Meeting you all here was enough of a surprise, but to think that we're both missing someone from our respective groups...
42

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, a situation just like the one we're in now came up during this suspense novel I've been reading lately...
43

Honami

Listen

A suspense novel?
I never would've imagined...
44

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. The protagonists are twin sisters who decided to become private investigators as part of their family's business.
45

Shizuku

Listen

They're both very cute and work very hard to solve each case, but do end up fighting from time to time.
46

Minori

Listen

That's so interesting! That means you two should try to solve “The Case of Airi and Saki's Important Business”, Shizuku, Shiho!
47

Shiho

Listen

I'm really not cut out to be a private eye.
48

Shiho

Listen

Also, Saki may've been acting a little strange today, but that doesn't give me license to go digging around her personal business.
49

Minori

Listen

Yeah, I guess you're right...
50

Shizuku

Listen

In that case, Shii, why don't we try and solve “The Case of What We Should Have for Dinner Tonight”?
51

Shizuku

Listen

I have a feeling I could solve it right away if we went with Salisbury steaks since they're your favorite♪
52

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. I remember trying to guess what was for dinner all the time when I was little.
53

Minori

Listen

Me too! Me too!
I would always get it right on curry day too!
54

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, we used to do that too!
You should've seen the way Shii smiled whenever she got it right. It was so adorable...!
55

Shiho

Listen

More importantly, what happened to stopping by that Japanese confectionary shop? You're making Minori and Kiritani wait the longer you do this.
56

Shiho

Listen

Also, I have to get to work soon.
57

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, where are my manners...?
I should apologize to you two as well, Ichika, Honami.
58

Ichika

Listen

No, it was nice to talk like this since it's been a little while since we last did.
59

Honami

Listen

I feel the same way.
Also, Shizuku, I'll see you again during our next Cleanup Committee meeting.
60

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, I'll see you then!
61

Shizuku

Listen

And please get home safe, Shii, okay?
62

Shiho

Listen

Okay, okay. I'll be going now if you don't mind.
63

Minori

Listen

See you at school!

64

Shizuku

Listen

I apologize for making you both wait like this, Minori, Haruka.
65

Haruka

Listen

It's okay. You don't need to apologize.
66

Minori

Listen

Yeah!
I mean, that story about trying to guess what's for dinner was so cute.
67

Shizuku

Listen

Really? I'm glad you enjoyed that...
68

Shizuku

Listen

Anyway, let's head to that confectionary shop, shall we?
69

Minori

Listen

Yeah!
