Secret Repayment Gift Research /3

Summary: White Day is coming and Izumi is stuck on what to get Guy as a repayment gift. After some serious thought she decides to give him…

This is part 2 of ‘Secret Repayment Gift Research’, read part 1 here!

Izumi

Hey Guy!

Guy

Hm? Oh you’re here too. We have been running into each other a lot lately.

Izumi

You think?

Guy

We ran into each other at the grocery store not too long ago too.

Izumi

Oh, that’s right! By the way I wanted to ask..

Guy

Hm, are you here looking for something?

Izumi

Ehh!? Umm welll..

(Damn, he asked me first..! Gahh, I can’t tell him I’m here trying to find some fishing stuff for his repayment gift, so I gotta think of some sort of cover..)

U-Uhh I came here to buy some make up!

Guy

Make up? What kind? If you would like, I can accompany you.

Izumi

UHHH! Well umm, I.. Uhh, I already got what I needed so it’s alright. Maybe instead I can help you with your shopping?

Guy

You would like to accompany me?

Izumi

Yes! I mean, it’s pretty good timing we both met up at a time like this so if it’s alright with you, I would be happy to join you in shopping.

Guy

Alright. I am looking for some kitchenware so any input you have would be much appreciated. Thank you for your offer.

Izumi

I’ll do my best!

(I see, so even though Guy is into fishing, he’s been working on improving his bar so maybe something for he could use there would be good..)

Izumi

Actually, I didn’t expect you to ask me about make up to be honest.

Guy

Oh, is that so? I learned a couple things from Azami for our collaboration event.

Izumi

I see. I am sure Azami would be happy to hear that you have become more interested in make up thanks to him.

Guy

If we were to tell him that, I am sure he would have a lot more things to share with us.

.. Anyway, the store I wanted to visit is here.

Izumi

So what exactly did you come here to buy?

Guy

Porcelain enamel kitchenware. .. Oh, the set I am interested in is this one.

Izumi

Ohh, this is the same set we have in our dorm!

Guy

It is. Fushimi told me about it. Have you used it before?

Izumi

Yes, it’s pretty easy to use!

Guy

I see. It looks like the whole set is here..

Izumi

(So this is what Guy looks like when he’s trying to make a decision. I should also try and look with him.)

Option

Look at this beautiful whine glass!

Look at this cute pot!

Izumi

Option: (Oh, look at this beautiful wine glass..! But it’s kinda over budget..)

They have a lot of different types of wine glasses.

Guy

So they do. They say that the taste of wine can differ depending on the shape of the glass.

The temperature of the wine can also affect the taste. When choosing a wine glass, one must consider how it will affect the taste and temperature of the drink.

Izumi

Oh, I see, it’s a pretty deep topic.

Guy

We use a variety of glasses at my bar. I invite you to come and compare them for yourself.

I always make sure there is a seat reserved for you.

Izumi

Alright, I look forward to it!

END OPTION

Izumi

Option: Wow, the pot over here is shaped like a cat! So cute!

And it has a crocodile on the lid.. Oh, and there’s a matching apron too!

Guy

Is there? I am sure Citronia would love something like that.

I think an apron like this would also look good on you, what do you think? It seems like it would suit you.

Izumi

You think so? Well I’ll consider it then..

END OPTION

Izumi

Huh, what’s over in this section..

(Oh, it looks like there’s some cleaning supplies and storage items here, pretty convenient.

Maybe Guy could use something like this?)

.. Maybe it’s a little too soon, but there is cleaning supplies and storage items here, they look pretty useful.

Guy 

I see. They do seem pretty useful.

Izumi

They do!

Guy

Yes. .. Hmm you seem rather energetic today, director. Is there something going on?

Izumi

Uh, no, not at all!

(Alright, I am totally gonna get this for Guy’s repayment gift! Despite a few road blocks along the way, I have made my final decision.)

Secret Repayment Gift Research /2

Summary: White Day is coming and Izumi is stuck on what to get Guy as a repayment gift. After some serious thought she decides to give him…

This is part 2 of ‘Secret Repayment Gift Research’, read part 1 here!

Izumi

Ah, Guy?!

Guy

Oh, did I scare you? Apologies.

Izumi

N-No, it’s alright, I was just looking at my phone so I didn’t notice you were here. I should be the one apologising for shouting so loud.

Guy

No worries.

.. Is there something troubling you?

Izumi

What do you mean?

Guy

You had a troubled look on your face as you were looking at your phone. If you would like, I could lend you my ear and..

Izumi

Ah, umm, no it’s alright! It’s nothing serious!

Guy

Is that so..? Please do not stress yourself out too much.

Izumi

I won’t! It’s really okay.

(I can’t tell Guy that I am struggling with trying to think of a repayment gift for him..!)

Tenma

Oh hey Guy, so this is where you were.

Guy

Sumeragi. What is it?

Tenma

I wanted to find you so I could give you your fishing magazine back. I just finished it and I thought it was pretty interesting.

Guy

I see. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Izumi

Are you into fishing too, Tenma?

Tenma

Eh kinda, but you see..

Guy had asked me to tell him a little about Bonsai Trees so I thought why not also try and learn more about Guy’s hobbies too.

Izumi

I see.

Guy

I am happy to hear that Sumeragi has taken interest in my hobbies. If you would like, I would be happy to go fishing together.

Tenma

Sounds good. Going fishing with you sounds pretty fun.

Izumi

(I see, so Guy is into fishing.. So maybe I should get him something related to fishing?)

.. Okay!

I just remembered there’s something urgent I need to attend to so I will be heading out!

Tenma

.. And just like the wind, she’s gone. What’s going on?

Guy

I am also perplexed.. She looked quite troubled just a few minutes ago, but then her face suddenly lit up and now she’s gone.

I am glad that somehow or other her troubles seemed to have been solved.

Tenma

Yeah, seemed like it. Well then, glad to hear whatever was bothering her worked out.

Guy

Yes. I guess I will head off now.

Tenma

Oh, you’re going out too?

Guy

Yes, I need to do a little shopping. I want to look at some porcelain enamel kitchenware for my bar.

Tenma

Porcelain enamel?

Guy

I heard about them from Fushimi. He told me they are very useful, especially on a gas stove over an open flame and for keeping food from losing it’s flavour when stored.

The items we have in the dorm are from the same series I am looking at, so I came here briefly to check them out.

Tenma

I see. Okay, see you.

Guy

See you.

Izumi

(Alright, the fishing supplies store should be around here..)

Guy

.....

Izumi

Huh, could that be.. Guy?

(But he was literally just in the lounge a few minutes ago, how did he get here os fast!? I guess he also needed to do some shopping too.

Alright, alright, this is a chance to do some prime quality research for Guy’s repayment gift, I gotta go talk to him.)

Secret Repayment Gift Research /1

Summary: White Day is coming and Izumi is stuck on what to get Guy as a repayment gift. After some serious thought she decides to give him...

Shopkeeper

Come and check out our White Day Fair now!

Izumi

(That’s right, it’s White Day, huh.. Now that I think about it, I did receive quite a lot of gifts for Valentine’s, I really gotta think of some ideas for repayment gifts.)

Guy

Director, is that you?

Izumi

Oh, Guy! Are you shopping too?

Guy

Yes. I am looking for things for my bar. Are you shopping for things for our dorm?

Izumi

Yeah. Today is bargain day for meats!

Guy

I see, I also came here for the same reason. However it appears that you have bought quite a bit.

Izumi

Yea, well you know how it is, you see all these things you wanna buy and you’re just like “oh that one and that over there”, it’s all so cheap so.. Hehe I guess I really did end up buying a lot.

Guy

I can say I sort of understand that feeling. Say director, did you come here by yourself?

Izumi

Yeah, I am here by myself. All of a sudden I felt the urge to go out so I just left.

Guy

That means you have quite a bit to carry back with you. If you would like, I can help you carry some of your things halfway to the dorm.

Izumi

Eh, you don’t have to! You need to get things for your bar after all..

Guy

My bar doesn’t open for quite a while, so I have time. No need to worry.

Izumi

Are you sure?

Guy

Yes. Mikage is already at the bar so there is no need to worry. If anything comes up, I am sure he can deal with it.

Izumi

Alright then, thank you!

Guy

Are you alright walking the rest of the way?

Izumi

Yes, you really helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

Guy

Alright, please take care on your way back.

Izumi

You too, Guy, good luck with your bar. See you.

Guy

Yes, I will be off.

Izumi

(That’s right, Guy gave me a homemade Baumkuchen for Valentine’s day.

But what should I do for a repayment gift. I mean, the cake was super delicious, but I don’t know if I have the courage to make something in return..)

I think I should give Guy something other than candy or snacks for his repayment gift. Maybe I should try looking up some ideas.

Izumi

(Hmmmmm.. This is harder than I expected. I wonder what Guy would like.)

Guy 

Director, is everything alright?
