Hagumi
I was so excited about practice, I got here a little early. I wonder if anyone else has arrived yet...
Kokoro
Why, if it isn’t Hagumi! You sure are early today!
Hagumi
Ah, Kokoron! And Kano-chan-senpai, too!
Kanon
Good morning, Hagumi-chan.
Kokoro
I ran into Kanon earlier. It doesn't look like we'll be able to start our session yet, so let's chat out here for a while!
Hagumi
Okay, sounds good!
Kokoro
Just a while ago, I saw this super awesome bunch of people! They were all carrying these toys and huge bags and looked like they were having a fantastic time!
Kokoro
I was in my car at that time, so I wasn't sure what it was... But everyone just had on the most lovely smiles!
Hagumi
What?! Really?! That's nice. Wish I could've seen it too~!
Kanon
Toys and huge bags... Maybe they were going to the flea market?
Kanon
Speaking of which, I heard from Chisato-chan that she took part in a flea market along with you guys, Hagumi-chan. Could it be the same one...?
Hagumi
Yeah! I was a part of the flea market! We sold a ton of stuff, and it was so much fun!
Kanon
Really? That's good to hear. I had things to do on that day, but I was curious as to how it went.
Kokoro
Flea market...? What's that? Sounds like a lot of fun!
Hagumi
It totally was! There were lots of people there. And there were games and comics and clothes... Lots of stuff you can buy!
Kokoro
Oh? That sure does sound like bunches of fun!
Kanon
Uhhh, Kokoro-chan. A flea market is a place where even people who don't own shops can sell things. You can sell and buy stuff there.
Kokoro
So people who don't have shops can open up a store there?
Kanon
Mhm. Though, you can only sell things during that time.
Kokoro
Okay, I get it! So, Hagumi, what stuff did you sell?
Hagumi
I put out an old game and some other stuff I had! A little kid bought the game! You should've seen the smile on that face!
Hagumi
That game was really interesting, so I hope the kid is enjoying it as we speak...
Kanon
I'm sure they are. After all, it was precious and filled with your memories, Hagumi-chan.
Hagumi
I wonder... Ehehe, I certainly hope so.
Kanon
Did you end up buying anything? There must have been lots of stuff to choose from...
Hagumi
Yeah, I think I did buy a lot, but I already forgot what!
Kanon
A-ahaha... I see...
Hagumi
I'll tell you later when I remember!
Kanon
O-okay. I look forward to finding out.
Kokoro
Flea market... flea market... Oh yeah! I've been to a flea market before!
Kokoro
My father brought me to one a long time ago!
Hagumi
Really? Aren't they just so fun and exciting?
Hagumi
I always have a hard time deciding what to buy!
Kokoro
Yeah, that's right! My father also said he had a hard time choosing because there's so much he wanted!
Kokoro
But when you want to buy something, it's a bit of a pain, no? You have to give the right signal, so you have to memorize all these hand movements.
Kanon
Huh...?
Hagumi
Hand movements...? I don't remember seeing any.
Kokoro
Yeah. You have to give them the hand signal to show how much you'll pay! Everyone was using them!
Kanon
(Using hand signals to indicate the amount... Could she be talking about an auction instead...?!)
Hagumi
Oh, I see~. So the flea market you went to had that kind of system!
Hagumi
Aren't they just so much fun?
Kokoro
Yeah, I love it because you get to see all these rare items!
Hagumi
Yup, mhm! ... Oh, I know!
Hagumi
We should all join one together! I'm sure it'll be even more fun if we all go!
Kokoro
Great! What a good idea, Hagumi! Let's do that next time!
Kokoro
I'll ask my father if there's one happening anytime soon! Ohh~! I'm so excited!
Hagumi
Okay! And I promise that I'll definitely invite you guys when the next one comes up, too!
Kokoro
Kanon, you'll take part as well, right?
Kanon
Huh?! Uhhh...Y-yes... Right...
Kanon
(Wh-what do I do...? Clearly they're not talking about the same thing, but the conversation has gotten this far...)
Kanon
(Maybe I should intervene somehow...? But they seem like they're having so much fun...)
Kanon
(Misaki-chan, Kaoru-san... P-please get here soon...!)

Hagumi
Hey, everyone! Croquettes, fresh out of the fryer~!!
Marina
Hello, Hagumi-chan. Two croquettes, please.
Hagumi
Oh, BanG Dreamer-san and Marina-san! Okay, you got it!
Hagumi
Here you go! Two croquettes. They're freshly fried, so they're delicious!
Marina
Wow, thanks!
Marina
By the way, I heard from Himari-chan that you girls took part in a flea market the other day.
Hagumi
Yeah! We totally did~!
Hagumi
It was with Hii-chan, Rimi-rin... And Eve-chin and Chisato-senpai, too!
Hagumi
It started with my dad asking me to help out, but I realized I didn't have enough stuff to sell. So I asked for help from everyone!
Marina
So that's what happened. But it was your first time selling stuff at the flea market, right? The preparations must have been hard, no?
Hagumi
It was super-duper rough! There were way more things to prepare than I expected, and I got so confused.
Hagumi
Especially with filling out... the vendor application form? It was really difficult...
Marina
There must have been so many parts to fill out, and it's hard to know where to write what, right?
Hagumi
Yeah, exactly! Even the explanations on the form were so technical. My head was spinning.
Hagumi
I asked my dad for help, but even then it was full of mistakes... I'm just not good at this type of thing~...
Hagumi
In the end, it was Chisato-senpai who helped me to fill it out correctly!
Hagumi
Oh, but she didn't just help with the application form, she also gave us lots of guidance in other areas too!
Marina
That sounds just like Chisato-chan~. If only I could pull myself together like she has~...
Hagumi
So the flea market actually went well because of Chisato-senpai, along with the others who helped as well!
Marina
Hmm... I'm sure some of the success was thanks to the others...
Marina
But you need to give yourself some credit, too. I'm sure seeing you work so hard made them wanna give you a hand.
Marina
In that sense, I think that the flea market went well because of everyone, you included.
Hagumi
R-really...?
Marina
Yep, definitely!
Hagumi
I see... I hope so... Ehehe.
Hagumi
Chisato-senpai helped me out so much with the flea market, though... I just hope one day I can return the favor when she needs help~.
Hagumi
I know! How about I bring her some croquettes for lunch this week?
Marina
Yeah! I think that's a good idea. I'm sure she'll be delighted since your family's croquettes are so delicious.
Marina
What do you think, BanG Dreamer-san...? Huh...? Instead of giving her croquettes, why not try inviting her out to lunch?
Hagumi
Wow! That's an excellent idea!
Hagumi
I'll try asking her tomorrow~! Thanks, BanG Dreamer-san! Marina-san!
Marina
Don't mention it. I hope Chisato-chan will appreciate it.
Hagumi
Yeah! Ehehe, it's gonna be so much fun~!
