Part 1Part 2

AD	That’s a wrap for Tenma-san’s scenes today!
Tenma	Thank you for the hard work. I’ll be going now if you don’t mind.
Staff	Ah, just a second, Tenma-kun.
Tenma	Yes?
Staff	I’ll hand this to you. Alright.
Tenma	Ah, it’s the mascot of this drama. It’s been turned into a keychain?
Staff	Mhm, it was made recently. Please, take it with you.
Tenma	Thank you very much. I really like how he turned out.
	And the way he’s loose enough to swing too is kinda cute.
Staff	Ahaha, right. It’s the perfect amount of looseness.
	In fact, since you like it so much, I can give you two.
Tenma	Eh, is it okay?
Staff	Here here. Perhaps you can hand one to a friend.
Tenma	Thank you.
Igawa	Good job today. Alright, let’s head to the dorms.
Tenma	I’m in your care.
Igawa	Huh, that keychain, is it from the drama?
Tenma	Yeah, one of the staff gave it to me.
Igawa	That’s good to hear.
Tenma	They said since I liked it, that I can have two and give one to a friend, though I’m not really sure who I would give it to…
Igawa	You have a lot of friends, don’t you, Tenma-kun.
Tenma	… S-Stop, don’t say that!
	I’m home. … Yuki’s not here, huh.
Kazunari	Tenten, are you back? Can I come in?
Tenma	Yeah, come in. I just got back.
Kazunari	Welcome home~! Nene, guess who has an interesting story to tell you!
Tenma	… It better not be weird.
Kazunari	I just said it was interesting! Tenten doubts me~.
	Anyway, I talked with everyone earlier and the Rising Tension Project is a-go!
Tenma	Rising Tension Project?
Kazunari	Yep! Real gacha where we trade keychains with each other! That kinda thing!
Tenma	Real gacha for trading keychains?
	… I’m gonna need a little bit more information.
Kazunari	Ahaha, my bad!
	Lately, more and more people in the dorms have been losing their keys, so everyone thought it was a good idea for everyone to get keychains.
	That’s why Itarun thought it’d be fun if we play real gacha in the form of trading keychains with each other, it’s a good plan!
Tenma	So that’s it. Misumi did lose his key before…
Kazunari	Right! Though, I can’t really talk either…
	Anyway, Tenten is also participating, so ready a keychain too!
Tenma	Got it, I’ll make sure to look for one.

Tenma	(Today, Igawa said he was taking me to the drama set.)
	(Since I still have a bit more time, I think I’ll look for that keychain for the thing Kazunari was talking about.)
	(But… even though it’s a keychain, it’s hard to pick something since I don’t know who’s getting it. What am I gonna do?)
	… Hm? That person over there—.
Izumi	…
Tenma	Director, you shopping?
Izumi	Waa! Tenma-kun scared me…
Tenma	Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.
Izumi	It’s fine. But, why are you in such a place? You’re filming a drama today, aren’t you?
Tenma	Yeah, but I still have some time before the starting time. Thought it’d be a good idea to look for a keychain.
Izumi	Ahh, for the exchange with everyone. How’s the search?
Tenma	Not looking good… I’m a bit lost on what to get.
	Ah, it’s about pick-up time… I’ll think on it more later I guess.
Izumi	Better than rushing.
	Well, good luck on your shoot. Take care!
Tenma	Yeah, I’m off.
	Sorry you had to pick me up at the mall.
Igawa	It’s alright. Did you buy something?
Tenma	Ahh, just looking for a little keychain.
Igawa	Keychain?
Tenma	We’re exchanging keychains with each other at the dorms, so I was looking for one for that.
	But when I thought more about it, it was hard to decide on something. After all, I didn’t end up buying one today.
Igawa	Is that so. Well, I hope you find a good one soon.
	Ah, speaking of keychains, have you given anyone that keychain you got from Staff-san yesterday?
Tenma	Yesterday? … Ohh, the character from the drama!
Igawa	Yes. If you’re still wondering who to give it to, maybe you should put it in there.
Tenma	I see, you’re right.
	(I was told to give the extra one to a friend, and I’ve been wondering who specifically to give it to—)
	(I guess I’ll leave it to the luck of the real gacha.)
	Well, I’ll use this keychain then.
Misumi	It’s Tenma’s turn~!
Tenma	Yeah, got it.
	Then, I got… this.
	What’s this shrimp sticking to the candy…?
Kazunari	Tenten, nice! It’s a sweet shrimp candy!
Tenma	This is sweet shrimp candy? This is my first time seeing it…
Kazunari	Eh! It’s something that’s trending on Insta! State-of-the-art right, amazing!
Kumon	Of course Tenma-san pulled something state-of-the-art! He’s practically the definition of it!
Muku	The shrimp’s so cute with their round eyes!
Yuki	It’s a mystery on why they combined a shrimp with a lollipop. Not even the colors are cute.
Tenma	I’m not sure either… But, I’m thankful.
