Itaru Chigasaki N 【Suit & Tie】/Backstage Story

A Win-Win Relationship
Sakuya	Let's dig in!
Citron	Yes, let's!
Izumi	...Huh? Where's Itaru?
Masumi	Beats me. Haven't seen him all day.
Sakuya	Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him either.
Tsuzuru	He must be in his room then. He had the day off from work.
Izumi	Wait, if that's the case, he didn't have breakfast or lunch either.
Sakuya	He didn't?! That's not good...
Tsuzuru	Could he be sick?
Izumi	I'll go check in on him.
Citron	Best of luck.
Izumi	I hope he's not sick or something... Huh? Kamekichi?
Kamekichi	'Sup! What's cookin' Director? See that mug o' yers hasn't changed!
Izumi	What's that supposed to mean... Anyway, what are you doing out here in front of Itaru's room?
	...And is that an energy bar in your talons?
Kamekichi	Sure is! It's for Itaru! Itaru!
Itaru	Oh, Kamekichi. Thanks for bringing what I asked. Sweet. Now I can beat this.
	...Wait, what? why are you here, Director?
Izumi	Itaru! what have you been doing in here? You haven't eaten all day.
Itaru	Um, gaming?
Izumi	The entire day?!
Itaru	Technically, I've been at it since last night.
Izumi	That's even worse! Everyone has been worried about you.
Itaru	Oh, my bad. I've just had my hands a little full. I was starting to run low on gas, so I had Kamekichi bring me a little somethin' to fuel me up.
	Can't keep my friends waiting.
Izumi	Friends?
Itaru	My online friends.
Izumi	You really do have a broad circle of acquaintances, huh- wait, that's not what I'm here for!
	Stop forcing Kamekichi to run errands for you.
Itaru	I'n not forcing him to do anything he doesn't want to. It's a win-win relationship. Thanks, Kamekichi. Here's your reward.
Kamekichi	No problemo! Leave it to me, Kamekichi the Great!
Itaru	That's my Kamekichi. You really live up to your title.
Izumi	Is that bird food?
Itaru	See? He's being fairly compensated.
Kamekichi	Itaru gives me snacks! What a guy!
Izumi	(Seriously, when did they get so chummy...)
Itaru	I'll be done with this quest in about two hours, so I'll have some of your delicious curry then.
Izumi	You better!
Itaru	Don't worry, I will. Plus, your curry is delicious even when it's cold.
Izumi	Huh?
Itaru	Do I lie?
Izumi	Flattery won't get you anywhere, mister!
