[Shopping district]

Its: Uum, what should I do about new tarot cards?

Its: I want them, but my monthly allowance would... ...Hm?

Its: (Is it... Masuzu-san who just got out of this store? She's talking with women who left with her.)

Its: (Ah, It looks like a fun chat. They must be pretty close.)

Its: (Having adult acquaintances is so cool...)

Its: Masuzu-sa-

Its: Waah! It scared me, my phone~.

Its: Yes, hello? Ah, onee-chan!

Its: Aah, Itsuki? I'm making dinner right now.

Its: But I'm out of soy sauce. Sorry I have to ask you, but could you buy some on the way back?

Its: Um, sure. The same brand as usual, right?

Fuu: That one. Sorry again.

Its: I was just about to go back, it's fine. I'm hanging up then.

Its: Ah. Masuzu-san left...

Its: (What could the relationship between Masuzu-san and the women from earlier be...?)

[Hero Club room]

Its: That's what happened.

Gin: Kuuh! That's what you'd expect from Masuzu-san! Having adult acquaintances you can talk to like friends is so cool!

Son: Right~. It's something to admire!

Aya: What could have led her to meeting them?

Sum: I'm curious as well. It surely is related to the store they came out of together.

Its: Now that you mention it... What was this store?

[Shopping district]

Its: Ah.

Suz: Hm? What's wrong?

Its: It's this store... You know, the one I talked about.

Suz: Ah~, the one Masuzu-san left accompanied by adult women, right?

Its: Yes. I only had a look at it from a distance.

Suz: This store's name is... Hm~... They have no sign or anything, so I don't know.

Its: What is it in the end? Should we go check it ourselves...?

Suz: E-Eeh!? It's kinda scary... Because you can assume it's an "adult store", right?

Its: I-I'm not sure about your phrasing but...

Suz: Ah! Someone just came out of the store!

Fierce-looking man: ...

Suz/Its: E-Eeeh!?

Fierce-looking man: ...

Its: I-It scared me... I hid without thinking...

Suz: Of course you did! This sinister look clearly wasn't that of a decent person!

Suz: I'm sure he's going to drown us in the sea to make sure we don't tell anyone we've seen him... Help me, Mebu~!

Its: P-Please calm down! We just looked at him, and we even hid, he couldn't have noticed!

Suz: Is this store perhaps not a very good one...?

Its: C-Could Masuzu-san have gotten involved into dangerous business...

[Dormitory - Hallway]

Its: E-Excuse me! Masuzu-san!

Aki: Hm? What's up?

Its: (What now? Should I ask her? If I made a mistake, it would just be rude...)

Aki: What? Don't be shy, ask this adult onee-san anything you want!

Its: Err, um... T-This store... a scary-...looking...

Aki: Hm? Okawa?(*1)

Its: S-Sorry! Forget I said anything!

Aki: What was that about...? Is she worried about me not eating properly at lunch?

[Dormitory lounge]

Its: What do I do? It's not like I can just ignore it...

Aya: Our only choice is to follow her the next time she goes there...

Suz: I didn't expect you to give this kind of suggestion.

Aya: Because I'm worried about Masuzu-senpai. We have no other method available to us!

Its: Um... You're right. Let's do that!

Suz: If you say it like that... I-I'm scared, but I'm going!

Its: Thank you, it's reassuring!

Aya: Let's all save Masuzu-senpai together!

[Shopping district]

Its: Ah, a woman...

Aya: During our 2 hours observing... We've seen a surprising amount of female customers.

Its: But it still has been mostly adult men.

Aya: Masuzu-senpai hasn't come yet... Maybe she's not going there today?

Suz: I bought anpans and milk!

Aya: Wah~! Thank you very much! I've heard this was a classic during stakeouts.

Its: They still have milk in bottles nowadays...

Aki: ......

Aya: Ah! Here she is! Masuzu-senpai!

Suz: She actually entered the store... W-What do we do?

Its: L-Let's take a peek!

Suz: Eeek~! When it comes down to it, I'm scared!

Aya: I-It will be fine, Suzume-senpai! Take my hand, that way you won't be scared!

Suz: A-A-Ayaya~~! You're an angel! A goddess! Ayayamama!!

Suz: Let's run away together if it gets too bad! My legs will probably give out, so pull me out of there!

Its: Alright, let's go!

Suz: S-So?

Aya: It's too dark inside... I can't see much...

Suz: D-Dark!? It's getting creepier and creepier!

Its: No, wait. It's-

[Mahjong classroom]

Aki: Aah, so right here you discard this tile and ryanmen.

Aki: Mahjong is about theory. If you remember all the different patterns, it's not that hard.

Aki: Eh? You have one player missing? 4 player games are good until you get used to it. I'm going then!

Its: S-So that's it. She comes here to play Mahjong.

Aya: That's a relief~. I'm glad it wasn't anything to worry about.

Fierce-looking man: Oh? Are you misses friends of Masuzu-chan?

Suz: Eek! It's the scary man from before!

Fierce-looking man: Don't watch from here, if you're friends of Masuzu-chan, you're more than welcome!

Its: B-But is it okay for middle schoolers to enter a Mahjong parlor...?

Fierce-looking man: Eh? Aah, you got it wrong. It's not a parlor, but a classroom. Masuzu-chan is a teacher here.

Aki: Discarding this tile now is a good way to catch your opponent off guard.

Aki: Eh? Ahahahaha! I won't go easy on you because of flattery~.

Its: She's chatting happily... Phew~. I'm glad Masuzu-san wasn't involved in anything dangerous...

Suz: I-I was so nervous that my legs gave out of relief...

Fierce-looking man: Masuzu-chan is so good at teaching and cheerful, thanks to her, everyone can have fun learning to play Mahjong.

Suz: The scary-looking man is a much better person than I thought...!

Its: I had a scarier impression of Mahjong...

Its: There are women, and many people of all ages playing peacefully, the atmosphere is cozier than what I imagined.

Aya: Everyone is having fun. I'm happy Masuzu-senpai is having fun too.

[Shopping district]

Its: Sorry about today, Masuzu-san. What we did was almost tailing you...

Aki: It's fine. Although when I noticed you during post-game analysis, you gave me a shock.

Aki: You were worried about me, right?

Suz: Uh. Yes... When we saw the scary man coming from there, we got worried...

Aki: Ahaha, thank you. But he's kinder than he looks.

Suz: Yes! I totally learned it!

Aya: The same goes for the other people. Mahjong has a cozier feeling to it than what I thought.

Aki: Especially at classrooms for beginners like this. Everyone gets along in a friendly mood, and I have fun too.

Aki: I know, are you three interested in learning just a little bit about Mahjong?

Its: Eh?

Aki: I-I'm not forcing you, of course.

Aki: I know from experience with Hanamoto-chan that people don't like being forced into learning...

Suz: W-What do we do...?

Its: Why not give it a try while we're at it...?

Aki: Eh! Seriously!?

Aya: I'm interested too! It seems like it would be fun to learn at this classroom.

Suz: Y-You're going to be a gentle teacher, right?

Aki: Of course! I'll patiently guide you at every step! Yaay~! The Hero Club's Mahjong population is increasing!

Its: (Masuzu-san looks happy... I'm glad I gathered my courage to say it.)

[Inubouzaki house - Living room]

Fuu: Eh? A Mahjong classroom?

Its: Yes! Masuzu-san said she would be teaching me.

Fuu: U-Uu~m... If Masuzu will be there, then I have nothing to worry about, but...

Fuu: Will you be fine? Are no scary-looking men going to pick a fight with you?

Its: There was a scary-looking man, actually... But there, it will be fine.

Its: Besides, when I said I'd play Mahjong, Masuzu-san looked so incredibly happy.

Fuu: I see...

Fuu: In moderation then.

Its: Yes!

Fuu: (As an older sister, I'm happy she tries to have various new experiences.)

Its: Like this...?

Aki: Yes. Great. There you can get a 3x4+2 combination, see?

Aki: Just think about winning a hand for now.

Its: But I'll have to remember stuff like yakus, right?

Its: Don't rush things, this can wait. The most important is to enjoy Mahjong first.

Aki: If you understand everything until now, go play with Kagajou-chan or Kokudo-chan!

Aki: If you have fun and do it enough times, you'll eventually remember what's important.

Its: I-I see...

Suz: W-Waaaaah! My tiles fell!?

Aya: A-Are you okay!?

Aki: Well, it seems like it'll take some time over there...

Woman: Masuzu-chan, do you have a moment?

Aki: Ah, sure! Itsuki-chan, sorry. Please wait for a bit.

Its: (She's giving advice to an adult woman... Masuzu-san is so cool.)

Aki: Sorry about that, I made you wait! ...Hm? Something wrong?

Its: Oh no, I was thinking about how amazing you are.

Its: You can give advice to adults just like that...

Aki: Uum, it's not particularly amazing. I like Mahjong, nothing more.

Aki: And if you enjoy what you "like" to its fullest, you'll have opportunities to meet adults.

Aki: Itsuki-chan, you have something you like or are good at too, don't you?

Its: I can't really say I'm good at it but... I like singing and tarot divination.

Woman: Eh? Itsuki-chan, you know divination?

Its: Ah, y-yes. Using tarot cards, more or less...

Woman: You're exactly what I needed. I've been feeling really unlucky recently.

Woman: The only explanation I had was fortune or something like that. Could you please tell me my fortune, if you don't mind?

Its: I-If you're fine with me...

Aki: See. Like I told you. Meeting people is about luck.

Aki: If you persevere in doing what you "like", you'll have many opportunities to meet all kinds of people of all ages.

Its: Amazing... It's just like you said.

Its: Masuzu-san, you're so cool!

[Mahjong classroom]

Its: Satou-san, this is your fortune for this month.

Its: So, a tower in the upright position is a bad omen... but there are ways to avoid it, so don't worry.

Its: What's important is what you will do from now on. Right, have self-confidence!

Its: Phew, that's over for the day...

Aki: Good job. Business is booming as usual. Itsuki-sensei, the tarot diviner!

Its: P-Please stop. Don't call me "Itsuki-sensei"~.

Aki: No, no, you're already a sensei, at this point. The rumors keep piling up since your first divination.

Aki: Every time you come to this classroom, you're sure to gather a line of people waiting for their turn!

Its: While I should be here to learn Mahjong...

Aki: Here you go, becoming more popular than me in such a short time~.

Its: T-That's not true at all! You're the one who is very popular!

Woman: True. We wouldn't know what to do about Mahjong without Masuzu-chan.

Aki: Ahaha, I'm glad to hear it.

Woman: And Itsuki-chan too. I can be more positive lately thanks to your divination.

Its: I'm happy if I've been useful!

Aki: Doesn't it make you happy to see people enjoy something you like?

Its: Yes, just like you said!

Its: Ah, but I have you teach me the fun of Mahjong, and I haven't been able to return the favor...

Its: Could I read your fortune next time?

Aki: Oh! Nice. Please do! I can't wait~.

Its: Ehehe. I'll buy new tarot cards and have them ready!
