I won this round of poker too. Ango really isn't very good at this... I think to myself as I lay down my final card. Ango sighs and smiles, admitting defeat again, while Dazai chimes in from the side saying he wants to play too. Dazai is still smiling, and Guest is...

Ah, you're here.

Guest approached silently and sat down beside us before starting a game of poker with Dazai. I find myself thinking that Halloween is coming soon.

Odasaku! Did you know? They say it's almost Halloween!

Odasaku is simple. Everything is written on his face. That makes him both pitiful and cute. Guest arrived without a sound, but I felt the presence. Is it Guest? Yes, it's Guest. I see. They're probably trying to startle me. I'll just play along. That's the kind of person Guest is.

Trick or treat!

It isn't Halloween yet, Dazai-san.

This man is at it again. I thought he was acting unusually normal yesterday... Guest-san also arrived silently today and gave me a start. Even if I ask why, they just tease me without a word. A difficult person indeed.

...Well, it's coming up soon, so I suppose it doesn't matter.

Guest! Why don't we all make chocolates together?? It's to celebrate! Treasure them!

I said that, but I wonder if the chocolates will actually turn out well...
