"The bright sunlight shines through the wide glass windows, shimmering down upon the familiar area of the airport. The anticipation and joy of being reunited with him added a spring to my step as my spirits began to soar..

I’d taken such a long trip that I couldn’t help picking up the pace as I headed towards the exit.

The long-awaited Guangqi City awaited behind the exit alongside the person I love.

The hustle and bustle of the airport grew clearer in my ears as I looked around, searching for his familiar silhouette within the airport crowd.

Who is he?"

❖☆————— ⊹ For Night, For Causation⊹ —————★❖

The airport’s arrival pick-up point was crowded with people. Everyone eagerly looked around, anticipating the joy of reunion.

I glanced at the screen of my phone. Sariel’s avatar was still as familiar as ever, but the red dot I was expecting on the upper right corner of it never appeared.

I’d sent him my flight information a couple of hours ago, but before I could get his reply, I was made to quickly switch my phone’s flight mode on at the flight attendant’s insistence.

And I never got his message even after the plane took off.

MC: Is he mad at me?

I scrolled through the messages that we’d exchanged during the time I’d been gone. My replies had been sparser than usual, which was a given since I’d been a little busy as of late. And adding on the fact that I had been in an unfamiliar place… It’s no wonder that he’d been left on read a couple odd times.

The uneasiness in my heart only grew as time passed, so I opened up our chat once more.

My message: What are you doing?

After sending it, I remembered that I’d once joked to him about how “What are you doing?” could be read as “I’m thinking of you.” He’d been confused about it at first, and I even made fun of him for being unable to understand romantic hints.

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Locking my phone, I walked out of the airport.

There were lots of people in front of me, but a large bouquet caught my attention. It was a bouquet of pure white flowers dotted with a few sparse leaves, reminiscent of green trees that had been blanketed by powder snow from the sky— romantic and dreamy.

The grand bouquet drew a lot of attention, and the silver-haired man who held it had long since turned his attention towards me.

MC: Sariel!

I immediately ran towards him. I didn’t know where to start after seeing his familiar face after being gone for such a long period, so I just shouted his name in a rather aimless manner.

MC: Sariel…

Sariel: The dumb bird went out for a whole spin and came back, yet why is she still fond of wearing such a stupid smile?

MC: Were you waiting long?

Sariel: Not really, just 20 minutes.

Sariel places a bouquet into my arms.

Sariel: For you.

I couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped me when I thought of him waiting in a crowded area for 20 minutes while holding such an extravagantly large bouquet and ignoring the stares of passers-by.

MC: When did you learn such an extravagant way of picking someone up from the airport?

Sariel: Someone watched a French movie the day before yesterday and sent me a video of the male and female lead’s airport pick-up scene. Was it not a hint?

It was a French romance film named “Reunion” where the male and female leads finally managed to overcome all obstacles and embrace each other at the airport at the very end. The scene was so moving that I recorded it and sent it to Sariel.

I had only wanted to share it with him, but it looks like he’d misunderstood that I’d also wanted to have such a romantic pick-up.

Peeking at his face, I imagined him silently trying to guess what I'd intended when I sent that to him, and how he’d secretly prepared a surprise for me. I suddenly felt that this misunderstanding, although unfortunate, was actually quite romantic of him.

MC: The male and female leads in the movie hugged each other too. So why aren’t I getting one as well?

I pouted and looked up at him.

There was a smile reflected in his eyes as he took a step closer, opened his arms, and wrapped me in an embrace.

The familiar fragrance of white sandalwood lingered in my nose. It was this moment that truly cemented the feeling that I was well and truly back.

I stood on tiptoes as I silently reached up to his ear.

MC: They kissed too, you know. A French kiss…

Sariel: …

I couldn’t help but snicker from the way his ears turned pink. Stepping away from his arms, I looked up at him.

MC: If you're doing it, then you might as well do it till the end, right?

The airport had just reached its peak hour. I knew that he wasn’t very good at being intimate with me in such a crowded place, but his reaction was so cute that it made you want to incessantly tease him about it.

As I was waiting for Sariel to speak up and turn down the suggestion, he surprised me by leaning down and drawing closer….

My heart seemed to be beating to the wrong beat as it thumped wildly in my chest. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.

A moment passed before a soft and warm kiss fell on my lips, but it was fleeting, leaving as soon as it came. My cheeks burned when I looked at the people all around us.

Sariel: Not all movie scenes have to be copied 1:1.

Yet you kissed me in public? I inwardly cursed.

Sariel: But that is something I do want to do.

The corners of his mouth lifted as he held my hand.

MC: It’s only been a while since we last saw each other, but your ability to surprise me has grown by leaps and bounds since the last time I saw you.

MC: Did you secretly read a love guide or something?

Sariel: …You really are one dumb bird.

Now that I think about it, I’d been so worried that I might have given him the cold shoulder earlier, but it looks like I’d just been worrying too much.

MC: So you deliberately left me on read just to surprise me?

Sariel then showed me his cell phone. The last line he’d sent to me wrote “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

MC: Funny, I never received it.

MC: And why don’t I see the text message I just sent you?

I unlocked my phone and pulled up the messenger app. The circle beside the message was still spinning.

It was only then that I realized that there was a reminder attached to the message: Your phone has no credit.

MC: Oh, I was out of prepaid credit. I thought you…

Sariel: You thought, what?

MC: I thought you were ignoring me because you were mad.

I replied, and Sariel only watched me quietly, looking into my eyes.

Sariel: I won’t ignore you, let alone leave you without prior warning.

Sariel: I will be by your side for as long as you're willing to have me.

Those two sentences instantly put me at ease. He’d said that he’d wait for me and that he wouldn’t leave me of his own accord.

A ding sounded from Sariel’s phone.

He tapped on the screen and saw the prior message I sent.

It had been successfully sent to his phone after a few minutes, probably having automatically connected to the airport’s wi-fi.

Sariel thought over it for a moment before lowering his head, his long fingers tapping against the screen. A few seconds later, I received a message from Sariel.

Sariel’s message: I’m thinking of you too.

The hustle and bustle of the airport grew clearer in my ears as I looked around, searching for his familiar silhouette within the airport crowd.

Who is he?"

❖☆————— ⊹ For Night, For Paradox⊹ —————★❖

Glancing around, I noticed that Charlie wasn't anywhere to be seen despite having agreed to come pick me up days ago. That was very unlike him.

MC: Strange… Did something come up?

I checked my phone but didn't see any new messages from him. I was just about to give him a call when I saw a familiar figure come into view near the waiting area a ways away.

His hair, which seems to have grown since the last time we saw each other, covered his forehead. His purple eyes were looking downwards, the faint light of a laptop screen reflecting off it.

His eyes were focused, and his expression was serious as his long lithe fingers flew across the keyboard. Like an image fitting of a run-of-the-mill office worker.

I walked closer to him. Charlie looked up, as if having sensed something, and met my eyes.

Shock, surprise, and a faint trace of exhaustion that he hadn't managed to tuck away in time filled his eyes alongside a myriad of emotions before it all settled into one all-encompassing emotion— joy.

Charlie: My fiancée!

He closed his laptop and came bounding three steps at a time, opening his arms and giving me a tight hug.

Charlie: Sorry, I wasn’t able to stand out there with the crowd holding a pick-up sign to welcome you back with grandeur.

Charlie: I’d initially wanted to finish this without any distractions before our reunion so that I could welcome you back the best as I could, but…

Charlie: I couldn’t finish it in time, and for that I’m sorry.

MC: Don’t worry about it. A big welcome or not, what matters most is you.

The familiar embrace was similar to a personal harbor. A sense of security washed over me, blanketing me in comfort.

Charlie: Welcome home, my fiancée. I've missed you.

A flurry of emotions surged through my heart before eventually calming and settling into silence.

MC: I missed you too, Charlie. I really, really, missed you.。

My fingertips brushed across his blueish-black eyebags. He blinked, tightening his hold.

MC: Come to think of it, what were you so busy with?

His whole face lit up upon the mention of it.

Charlie: Nothing much. I just published an academic paper while my fiancée was away.

Charlie: And you caught me just as I was typing down the last line of supplementary information.

MC: Another academic paper!? That’s amazing!

Charlie: Well, that can’t be helped now, can it? Who told them to place your perfect fiancé in such a rapidly changing industry? Besides…

His smile faded slightly as he breathed a quiet sigh.

Charlie: All I want to do when you’re by my side is to give you the best company I can. Thus, I am reluctant to spare even a minute for other things during that time.

Charlie: So I should take the chance while you’re off studying in a distant place to do some of the things I ought to do.

Charlie: Not to mention that doing so also helps mute the loneliness I feel with you gone, so it’s two birds with one stone.

MC: Even still, don't work yourself too hard…

My heart twisted slightly, and giving in to my impulses, I tiptoed to plant a kiss on his face.

MC: I'm back, my dear.

MC: You will always have me every once in a while whenever you have to go off to faraway places.

I whispered softly into his ear, and in return, he kissed me on the cheek. The warmth from his lips spread, slowly warming my body bit by bit.

MC: Looks like my knowledge of Dr. Charlie needs a little update. Why don’t you tell me a little about what your paper is about?

I wanted to know everything related to him.

Charlie: Of course, but shouldn’t we do some intimate things that unmarried couples do together?

MC: Huh? Is a heart-to-heart talk not intimate enough?

I pretended to be confused, but I could still feel my face starting to warm. Hence, I tugged his arm and walked out with him.

I knew that no matter what kind of future he had planned for me, it would surely be one filled with excitement and things to look forward to.

The hustle and bustle of the airport grew clearer in my ears as I looked around, searching for his familiar silhouette within the airport crowd.

Who is he?"

❖☆————— ⊹ For Night, For Freedom⊹ —————★❖

I caught sight of a pair of familiar pale green eyes at the forefront of the crowd.

MC: Osborn!

His naturally upturned eyes held a smile, and his eyebrows raised ever so slightly as he met your eyes. The playful smile that you are all too familiar with lingers at the corners of his lips.

Osborn: Playful little thing has got tired of playing and is finally home?

MC: How could I bear to be away with you here?

Osborn glanced behind you with increasing amusement.

Osborn: Where's your luggage?

MC: Why would I have it with me? Do you know how much that would have hindered me from running to you?

I winked, taking three steps at a time and jumping into his arms without a moment’s hesitation.

However, he was ready and opened his arms to catch me as if he’d expected it all alone. He spun me around in a circle.

Osborn: Not bad. Could be faster though.

MC: Then you've gotta catch me when I come at you full speed!

MC: The boxes that got sent over back then were my luggage and belongings. Did you keep it safe for me, Boss Xiao?

Osborn: Of course, everything's back home except you.

He put me down, took my hand, and led me out of the airport.

I followed him, the familiar warmth of his palm gradually spreading through my body. The heavy weight of the loneliness that had increasingly bore down on me while I was away dissipated in a moment.

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Arriving at the parking lot to the side of the airport, I recognized a familiar motorcycle in the distance, basking in the sunlight.

Osborn: Follow me to a place before we go home.

He handed me a helmet once we got to the motorcycle. It was familiar, and it looked well-loved.

MC: Lemme guess… Did you prepare a welcome dinner for me?

Osborn: Of course. There's no way we can miss out on that, but that's for after we get back home.

After several failed guesses, Osborn smiled triumphantly before announcing the answer.

Osborn: We're going to give this motorcycle a sound tuning. I noticed that it wasn't as fast as it should be on the way here.

MC: What's wrong with it? Wasn't it running pretty well last time?

Osborn: It's been sitting around for too long.

Not having expected that, I looked at him in surprise as he climbed onto the bike.

MC: Wasn't it your favorite ride?

He chuckled softly, making a small turn with the bike with a playful glint in his pale green eyes.

Osborn: Yeah, it is my favorite means of transportation, but the backseat of this one's reserved for a certain designer.

Osborn: Besides, who was it again who hugged me all teary-eyed before leaving, saying that this ride's too flashy so I can't let anyone else ride on it?

I froze for half a second, trying to recall when that happened, only to cover my face in embarrassment.

MC: That was just drunken blabbering! Forget it! That never happened!

Osborn: But possessiveness is a cute look on you. You want me to forget about it? Really?

He leaned forward slightly, coming closer to my ear. The scent of black cedarwood tickled my nose.

MC: Fine… Just go tune this thing already!

Osborn: Yes, ma'am.

I put my helmet on and Osborn reached out to flick the visor downward.

Osborn: Actually, it wasn’t banished to a corner only because you told me to…

MC: Oh?

Osborn: You weren’t here, so how could I look at something every day, only to be reminded of how much I miss the person it reminds me of? So I pretty much had no other choice but to ignore this old guy here.

His sentence ended with a slight lilt. He was obviously joking, but his expression looked genuine.

The shadow his fringe cast upon his eyes and face merged, making him look rather aggrieved.

Perhaps I was really gone for way too long.

I was stunned at the realization. Then, I gingerly got onto the bike, subconsciously making my movements gentler for fear of crushing this “old” guy and hurting its feelings.

Osborn: No need to be so careful with it. It can handle more, I assure you. Although… with the state it's in, I can now warn a certain naughty devil…

As soon as I settled into the seat, I heard Osborn’s voice drifting alongside the wind.

Osborn: Don't be gone for too long next time.

He pressed down the hand he had on the bike’s handlebar, causing its body to purr.

MC: Okay! Don’t worry, I won’t be able to bear seeing my exclusive backseat gathering dust again!

I straightened and placed my arms around his waist, feeling the warmth of his body against my fingertips. A familiar sense of security enveloped me.

MC: But you’re actually the one I can’t bear to part with most.

The rushing wind in my ears grew stronger as the motorcycle surged forward, and the jet black hair freely fluttering before me was the sight I am the most familiar with.

And being right next to him was the place where I felt most at ease.

Charlie: At first, I thought that she was sympathetic to how lonely her father was and wanted to comfort me in my fiancée’s stead.

Charlie: We must be a fated pair, inseparable by time or space.

Charlie: A metaphysical attempt. I heard that if you call out to your loved one thrice at a fixed time and place, they will be able to hear it and respond to you.

Charlie: But it turns out that my perfect self doesn't have to rely on luck or metaphysics. Welcome back, my dear.

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Osborn: Xiaoragon’s been getting a lot lighter recently. The team says that it's “pining itself away.”

Osborn: In that sense, shouldn't I be the one getting thinner instead

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Osborn: Are you coming back? Xiaoragon's weight has finally returned to normal.

⊹ ˚✩ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ∘◦ ✥ ◦∘ ━━━━━━━━━━━ ✩˚ ⊹

Osborn: Or not.

MC: I am! I'm back!

Osborn: Finally felt like coming back? Xiaoragon might have stopped languishing, but I have not.

Osborn: I'll have to punish you for being gone for as long as you have.

MC: Okay, okay. You're free to punish me however you want. Heck, I'll even take the initiative and do it myself!

Osborn: Oh? I like that attitude. You're forgiven.

Osborn: As for the punishment… I'm booking 3 days of your time.

Osborn: And I'll think about the other stuff later.

[Gakuen K] Kusanagi Izumo Route: My feelings are real Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Gakuen K Masterlist / Gakuen K Mobile Masterlist *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Red Club: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Misaki: Hey, Kamamoto! How’d you like my special Christmas fried rice?!

Kamamoto: It’s delicious! But isn’t there way too much paprika and bell peppers in this?

Misaki: Don’t fret the small things, dumbass! It’s Christmas! Garnishing stuff with red or green is the norm!

Izumo: There's plenty of food here, Mikoto. Eat up before you head home.

Mikoto: Just eating doesn't make it any different from any other day…

Izumo: Oh? Wanna sing Jingle Bells then?

Mikoto: No thanks.

Ran: (Kusanagi-san’s going on with life as if nothing's happened…)

Ran: (What should I have done back then?)

Ran: (Do I really have to give up on my love for him…?)

Totsuka: You seem down. What's up? Food not to your taste?

Ran: Oh, no… I think it's plenty delicious.

Totsuka: Really? Then what’s with the glum look? Santa's gonna run and happiness is gonna flee if you keep that up.

Ran: Sorry…

Totsuka: Is it because of Kusanagi-san, by chance?

Ran: Wha-

Totsuka: Ahaha, bullseye.

Totsuka: I love you, you know.

Totsuka: Not just you. King, Kusanagi-san, Yata, and Kamamoto too. I love the members of the Red Club.

Totsuka: That's why I was happy for you two when I learned that you were both dating. Because the people I love have found love in each other, sharing in happiness and joy.

Totsuka: But, the truth in reality isn't as sweet. I can see that you're both hurting.

Totsuka: You guys got together because you loved each other, so what happened?

Ran: I… don't know. Kusanagi-san never told me the reason behind his decision.

Totsuka: And you're fine with that?

Ran: …

Totsuka: See, I'm the type of person who delves deep into things that have my attention. Once I jump, it's all in or nothing, and I won't leave till I'm satisfied and have all the cards.

Totsuka: I'd hate to have things that I'm being kept in the dark about remain out of reach forever.

Totsuka: The world is full of mysteries and wonders. And not even I or the Gods can unravel them all, but—

Totsuka: I believe that we can always reach out and unravel those closest to us.

Totsuka: If there's something you don't know, make it so that you are in the know. Don't give up on it till you do. Because giving up is equivalent to throwing away the future it presents.

Ran: (If there's something I don't know, make it so that I do, and don't give up on it…)

Ran: (But what would I even do once all the cards are laid out before me?)

Ran: (If I learn the reason why he hates me now…)

Izumo: Ahh~ I'm beat… Really wasn't expectin’ clean up to take this long…

Ran: Kusanagi-san.

Izumo: Hmm? Oh, hey. It's you. What are you still doin’ here this late?

Ran: I was… waiting for you.

Izumo: Me?

Ran: You broke up with me when we went shopping last time. I'd like to know the reason why.

Ran: Because I still love you, and I can't accept it.

Ran: If it was something about me, or something I did wrong, then I'll try my best to change.

Ran: So, please. Tell me. Did I do something wrong?

Izumo: …

Izumo: You didn't do anythin’, it's me.

Izumo: I realized that I was startin’ to get too involved in the relationship.

Ran: !!!

Izumo: Despite me bein’ the one who said that I'd stick around because I wanted you to gain some self-confidence.

Izumo: I was casual ‘bout it at first, wantin’ to just stick around till the fledgling chick became a swan. Although, now that I think about it that was quite uncouth of me.

Izumo: I'd intended to let you go once you found someone you loved.

Izumo: But you were so cute, only growin’ more lovable as time passed. And the way you acted… seemed as if you really did love me.

Izumo: Before I realized it myself, you were all that I could think about.

Izumo: But, these are all just my selfish thoughts. You don't have to concern yourself with them.

Ran: Kusanagi-san… But, I—

Izumo: I'm sure you grew attached to me ‘cause I was always around you.

Izumo: Don't worry ‘bout it. You're cute, and with an illustrious personality to boot. I'm sure you'll be able to find a guy much better than me in no time.

Ran: I—

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Ran: I'm not settling for anyone else other than you, Kusanagi-san!!!

Izumo: Ran-chan…

Ran: And I'm serious about it. I really do love you. It isn't just puppy love or anything like that!

Ran: Because I already loved you before you even brought up dating!

Izumo: Wha…

Ran: That's when I realized that you didn't really see me as a girl.

Ran: But that was fine with me, as long as we got to spend time together…

Ran: But, surely, you do see me as a girl now, right?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

Izumo: …Yeah. That's right.

Izumo: No more. I won't let you go. Not for anyone; not for anythin’.

Ran: Kusanagi-san…

Izumo: I can be serious about you now?

Ran: Of course!

Izumo: I see. I won't hold back anymore then. I've given up on gettin’ over you.

Izumo: I have my own faults, but if you're willin’ to accept me… then I'll gladly reciprocate. After all, these feelings of mine— Well, they're as real as they can get.

[Gakuen K] Kusanagi Izumo Route: We should Break Up Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Gakuen K Masterlist / Gakuen K Mobile Masterlist *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Ran: Thank god we managed to get everything.

Izumo: Yeah.

Ran: The Christmas illuminations are beautiful, aren’t they?

Izumo: Mmhm. They are.

Ran: (Kusanagi-san…? He’s been like that ever since we started shopping…)

Ran: (Did something happen?)

Ran: Umm…

Izumo: Hey, Ran-chan.

Ran: Y-Yes?

Izumo: Am I… a good boyfriend to you?

Ran: What’s that supposed to mean?

Izumo: We started datin’ in Summer, didn’t we? I had fun, but I was wonderin’ if you felt the same too.

Ran: I enjoy it too.

Izumo: I see. I’m glad to hear that. It hasn’t been long since we started, but it has been very fulfilling. Thank you for that.

Ran: Sure…?

Ran: Erm… Why are you talking in the past tense?

Izumo: Because… it’s all ‘boutta be in the past now.

Izumo: We should go our separate ways; for both our sakes. And so, we should end our relationship here, today.

Ran: End? You mean…

⊳ Choice: No…

Ran: N-No… I don’t want this… Izumo: C’mon, don’t look like that. I want to end it off with a smile.

⊳ Choice: You must be kidding...

Ran: Please tell me this is a joke. Izumo: … Izumo: …Sorry. I meant it when I said I was gonna end things.

Izumo: You might feel terrible in the short run, but it’ll be over before you know it. I’m sure you’ll be able to get over it in no time.

Izumo: We just have to return to being a current student and an alumni. Nothin’ too hard.

Izumo: Alright? So, listen to me here, hm?

Ran: (No way… Kusanagi-san…)

Hello! ~

I saw that you have translations of la Corda Ouro. I know other otome games, but I don't know anything about this game. Would you recommend? Did you like it?

YEAH!! I LOVE this series and would absolutely recommend it!

But go play the la corda series(psp/psv/switch), bc starlight orchestra (the mobile game) has ended service earlier in march, so whatever I'm translating is basically what I have archived... :<

No look- this series is literally my childhood aside from kuroshitsuji and its soooooo gooodd esp if you like classical music!! And there are so many la corda games to choose from because of such a long-standing series it is XD

personally though... I've played with the idea of translating la corda octave and the 3rd game... And I recall many years ago that there was someone else translating the game (can't seem to find them now though... wonder where they went) but I'm working on other things as well while juggling my day job as a translator, so eh... maybe one day!

#ran speaks #la corda d'oro #kiniro no corda #otome #sorry i love this too much aaaaaaaa

[Gakuen K] Blue Club MAP Choices ②  (Courtyard- Akiyama Himori) Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Gakuen K Masterlist / Gakuen K Mobile Masterlist *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut! *T/N: If no one has your back in Scepter 4 you know your homie Akiyama does!!! S4's emotional crutch is Akiyama and HOMRA's emotional crutch is Tatara. I will die by this hill (ｏ ‵-′)ノ

Akiyama: Hello. We seem to bump into each other a lot.

Ran: Akiyama-senpai.

Akiyama: How was things with Fushimi-san?

Ran: !

Akiyama: You were together yesterday, no? How did the tour go?

Ran: Erm… It was easy enough to understand.

Ran: But Fushimi-kun’s really amazing. You wouldn’t know he was in the same year as me with how calm and collected he is.

Ran: And he definitely has the smarts to match too…

Akiyama: I do think he’s quick-witted.

Ran: Of course he is.

Ran: (He’s brilliant, so that’s why he’s able to see through all of my weaknesses. And that explains why he could say something like that so off-handedly…)

Akiyama: …Should have something…

Ran: ?

Akiyama: Nothing, I’m just talking to myself. Oh, yes. I had it in my pocket…

Akiyama: It’s not much, but here, take this.

Ran: …Candy?

Akiyama: I have one grape-flavored one and an orange-flavored one. Which one would you prefer?

Ran: The grape one, please.

Akiyama: Here you go. Sweet things cheer people up, you know?

Ran: Eh?

Akiyama: I just noticed that you looked rather down. Although, I do apologize if I’m mistaken.

Akiyama: That’s all I have to offer now. Please do take care.

Ran: O-Okay. Thanks!

Ran: (I feel a little happier now… I’ll keep this candy.)
