Scene 1: No Customers, Just Chaos
After all that, Reina and Naoki started working at the general store alongside Haruto.
As expected, the two were constantly bickering — and making a mess of the store.
Reina(throwing a soda can): Here, catch this!
Naoki (dodging): Haha! Your aim is terrible! You couldn't hit a wall if it stood still!
Reina (launching another can, full power): Let's see you dodge this one!
Suddenly, Haruto throws a can in mid-air to deflect Reina's. It crashes down perfectly.
Haruto (angrily): No customers since morning, and you two are having a food fight? And now the whole store looks like a battlefield!
Haruto: Clean it up. Now.
Reina: Alright, alright. We'll clean.
Reina and Naoki start cleaning. Haruto sits angrily at the counter.
Just then…
SFX:Tring!
A quiet, cool-looking customer enters.
They all quickly get back to their positions. But Reina, clearly smitten, starts following him, trying to help.
Reina (tagging behind him): Do you want to try this? Our drinks are cold and amazing! How about some snacks? Oh, and we've got the latest manga too — "Demon vs Hunter"! You'll love it!
The customer calmly picks up some pet food and heads to the counter.
Reina instantly pushes Haruto aside to take his place.
Haruto (thinking, annoyed): Great… One's obsessed with guys, and the other with girls. What a combo.
Silent Customer(calmly): Here, please ring this up.
Reina (slowly scanning): You're buying this for your pet?
Silent Customer: Yes, it's for my dog.
Reina: Aww, what's your dog's name?
Silent Customer(pauses): Sorry, I can't share that.
In the background, Naoki, drinking water, bursts out laughing.
SFX:Pfff!
Reina grabs a small box and smacks him on the head.
SFX:THUNK!
Naoki collapses.
SFX:THUD!
Haruto, frozen, watches silently.
Reina(with a sweet smile): It's okay, forget I asked. What's your name?
Silent Customer: It's Renzaki..
The moment he says it, all three freeze — a strange aura fills the room. Haruto's mind races.
A flashback hits.
A blurry figure appears.
Mysterious Voice: "My name is Renzaki Kazekami! You must go and tell them—"
The flashback cuts. Haruto slams the table.
Haruto: Wait—What's your full name!?
Renzaki: It's Renzaki Kaitsu. Why? Something wrong?
All three sigh in relief, visibly deflating.
Haruto(blank face): N-Nope. Nothing. You're free to go.
Renzaki exits.
Naoki: Wait... could he be our Renzaki?
Reina: No way. The clan name is totally different.
Naoki: Idiot! Even our clans had different names back then!
Haruto: We can't just walk up to him and blurt everything. If we're wrong, he'll think we're crazy— or worse, expose us.
Reina: But what if he really is the one?
Naoki: C'mon. Just 'cause his name is Sasuke doesn't mean he's our Renzaki. Chill.
Haruto: We'll deal with that later. For now… did you guys forget? Our holidays start tomorrow.
Naoki & Reina(together): WHAAAT?!
Haruto: So… wanna go see those statues again?
Naoki: Yes! Let's go!
Reina: I've been dying to see my past self again. I was sooo powerful!
Naoki: You're still powerful… like a tank!
Reina(angrily): Did you just call me a tank?!
Naoki: No no no! My bad! I'm sorry!
Reina(throws chip packet): Take this!
Haruto(thinking): Oh no… not again...
Scene 2: Magic, Statues, and an Awkward Collision
The three arrive at the museum.
Naoki (super excited): Whoaaa! Look at those people — they can still use magic!
Reina: It's amazing, isn't it?
Haruto: Yeah, some people today can still use magic. We could too, technically — the energy's in us. We just… don't know how to activate it anymore.
Reina: Yeah, that's the real problem.
Naoki: Forget that! Let's go in already!
As they rush inside, Naoki walks backwards while eating popcorn — and bumps into someone.
SFX:BUMP!
Naoki (still chewing): Oops! Sorry about that—
He turns around.
Naoki: Renzaki…??
It's the same customer from earlier — now casually strolling through the museum.
