"I asked a friend of Sumire-san's to help with this photo!"

|

"Is that why you asked if you could take a picture back then?"

|

"Yes! Sumire-san, you look very beautiful!"

|

"Coming from you, Hikari-san, that almost sounds like a backhanded compliment."

---

"Please state your name and occupation!"

|

"Sumire Hanamori, I'm still a high school student."

|

"May I ask your reason for moving in?"

|

"You can, but... we talk about this at every welcome party when someone new joins, so everyone knows already, right? ...It was close to the station and the department store."

|

"Thank you! Now, what are your recent hobbies?"

|

"Running, baking... Just normal stuff. I'm a model student at school, you know."

"A shot from their room!"

|

"Hikari... how do I look in this? Do I look... human?"

|

"Yes! You look very lovely and cute! But in Japan, wearing shoes inside the house isn't common sense."

|

"That's... right. Next time, I'll be careful...? ...Want some coffee?"

|

"I'd love some!"

---

"Well then, with coffee in hand, excuse me... Yes, please state your name and occupation!"

|

"Komori. Just... Komori. Um, I'm working as a... cafe clerk?"

|

"Thank you! Next is your reason for moving in... but if you don't want to talk about it, we can skip!"

|

"It's okay... I live here because... it looked like people would gather here?"

|

"Yes, thank you! Do you like interacting with people? Me too! Finally, what are your hobbies?"

|

"Observing humans, spacing out..."

|

"For reference, what was the result of observing me?"

|

"Behavior that could be taken as a lack of social distance toward kin or those sharing a nest within the same species. However, what exists there is not a defensive or selfish act of increasing companions based on biological instinct, but an altruistic spirit desiring synchronization and harmony with others, which can be seen as extremely optimistic. Due to a clear code of ethics, you are rarely shunned by humans, who are said to have extremely exclusive personalities. ...How was that?"

|

"Thank you! So that means I'm not hated! What a relief~"

"I borrowed a studio from my agency to take this!"

|

"Just because you're the photographer, you get to take yours in such a proper place..."

|

"But, I think it's very Hikari-like."

|

"Hikari-san, you are beautiful. The rumor that models look good in any photo is true."

|

"That's right-aru. As one of your sponsors, I put my heart into cooking Hikari's portions, yes-aru."

|

"Aren't you worrying too much...?"

|

"May I use you as a model?"

|

"Iroha-san, please, let's do that later, sir."

|

"I don't care what you do, but you guys are talking way too much just for Hikari's turn."

---

"It's actually nerve-wracking to talk about myself! Hikari Chosokabe! I'm a model, TV personality, and photographer! I'm wearing three hats like a Yatagarasu!"

|

"You don't look nervous at all... And I don't get your sense of humor. I always wonder, how do you make enough time to travel abroad and take photos?"

|

"That's a trade secret!"

|

"I see... Hikari, you run a company too, then."

|

"That was just a figure of speech, Komori-san. My hobby is taking photos! Before I knew it, it became my job!"

|

"Photos are great. I like taking pictures of scenery too, so I kind of get it."

|

"Thank you, Minori-san! Shall we go on a trip abroad again sometime? As for my reason for moving in, I was interested in the entry conditions that seemed to accept anyone! Everyone is so nice, it's fun!"

"Here's a photo from when I went on a trip with Minori-san!"

|

"Yes. I think it turned out well."

|

"Yes, but, um... I intended to take a secret shot of you walking happily, but before I knew it, you were looking right at the camera. And somehow, your eyes..."

"Hehehe."

---

"Moving right along! Name and occupation, please!"

|

"Yes. Minori Kanata. My occupation is a part-timer. I have various experiences, so I don't stick to a specific job."

|

"I see... I see. A free lifestyle! I admire that! Now, next is the reason for moving in!"

|

"Yes. My reason for moving in was that even if I change jobs frequently, I thought I needed a fixed place to live."

|

"I... see? Thank you. So, what are your hobbies!"

|

"Traveling, I suppose. I often go abroad, and though I say so myself, I have a good eye for picking out souvenirs."

|

"That's true! The Gulab Jamun and Salsiccia you bought before were all things I'd love to eat again!"

---

"It certainly wasn't a heartfelt comment, but to have my doubts shown so plainly. Is it because of her purity?"

"I asked to take this in front of Fengchi-san's restaurant! The coolness really stands out!"

|

"Of course-aru. I am the lovely and beautiful Lady Fengchi-aru!"

|

"Right! But, but, I don't think ending sentences with 'aru' is trendy these days, so why don't we drop it?"

|

"Eh?!"

---

"Ah, um... It's okay, Fengchi-san! You have plenty of personality!"

|

"No, um, it's fine now... Thanks for the backup, okay? ...Ahem. I am Fengchi. Ye Fengchi-aru. I am the owner of a Chinese restaurant-aru. It's a high-end place that puts local joints to shame-aru. I have shops all over the world, yes-aru."

|

"Yes, thank you for the name and occupation! Next is the reason for moving in! Could you tell us?"

|

"It's for my end-of-life preparations-aru. I thought a lively and noisy place like this wouldn't be boring-aru."

|

"Oh, come on~. Fengchi-san, you're still so young!"

|

"That's why I keep telling you, I'm over 1400 years old-aru!"

|

"Oh, right! My apologies! Next is hobbies!"

|

"Are you listening!"

"...Are you listening-aru?! Geez. My hobbies are moonbathing and yoga-aru."

|

"Yes, I heard you loud and clear! Rare polite speech! That's all the questions! Thank you very much!"

|

"Hikari-saaan!?"

"A shot of her just waking up in the morning!"

| "It was such a pain to get up then... Besides, there's no point in taking pictures of me..." |

"It's okay! Kanako-san, you are much more beautiful than someone like me!"

| "...I don't need flattery. 'It's a heartfelt! Statement!' ...Thank you."

---

"Here, have this! It's orange juice."

| "Thanks. So, I guess it's name and occupation, right?" |

"Yes! If you're sleepy, I can ask the others first..."

| "Yawn..."

"Ah, sorry, I'm okay now. I'm Kanako. Kanako Sendo-ji. Occupation? I'm a NEET. I dropped out of college, after all."

|

"Yes, thank you! Next is the reason for moving in!"

|

"It was spacious and looked comfortable, that's... all."

|

"Are you still sleepy? Then have this candy! It's from Fengchi-san! Next, tell us your hobbies!"

| "Thanks..."

"SO SPICY!!"

|

"Huh?! Was it that spicy?"

|

"Don't compare me to your tolerance, Hikari-san! Um, my hobbies are games and reading. Mostly novels. Oh, speaking of novels, the trick in the mystery novel I read the other day was—"

---

My apologies! Due to time constraints, we have to cut this short!

"The one on the left is a photo I took, but the one on the right was actually drawn by Iroha-san herself! It looks just like the real thing!"

|

"I have to work hard to make sure it doesn't accidentally start moving, haha..."

|

"That's true! With your ability, Iroha-san, could you make another version of yourself?"

---

"My name is Iroha Isshiki. I'm still a trainee, but I'm aiming to be an art teacher."

|

"My question!?"

|

"I've gotten used to the flow by now. My reason for moving in was that when I checked the floor plan, there was somehow a studio. I decided instantly."

|

"Thank you for explaining your reason... Now, so I don't get scooped again, your hobbies please!"

|

"My hobby, though it might be unexpected, is muscle training. If I want to reference muscle movement, I'm the closest model myself."

|

"Thank you! Then, finally, tell us about your ability, Iroha-san!"

|

"What happened to forgetting our profiles...? This won't leave Ayaso, right? Actually, I can manifest things I draw. I don't want to spread it around, so please keep it a secret from the outside, okay?"

|

"It's okay! I'm used to that kind of thing because of my job!"

|

"It makes me nervous, but Hikari-san, you're surprisingly proper about these things."

"Is it my turn last, sir? I am Megumi, my occupation is—"

"Wait, Megumi-san! The questions come next! This photo is a shot in the Japanese-style room!"

|

"I am sorry, sir!"

---

"Once again, name and occupation, please!"

|

"Megumi Miroku. An aspiring novelist and part-time warrior, sir. My hobby is buying and eating Japanese sweets, sir."

|

"Thank you! Next is the reason for moving in!"

|

"Ah, I messed up the order again... The reason was that I wanted to live in peace, sir. It might seem surprising, but I'm quite a klutz and have an unlucky constitution. So I wanted to live peacefully in a suspicious place where people wouldn't come, sir."

|

"But seven people had already moved in before you, Megumi-san!"

|

"That is true, sir... I do nothing but cause trouble for everyone."

|

"No, no! I don't mind at all!"

|

"I am grateful to hear you say that, sir."

---

"Thank you very much! With this, we conclude the video recording for the introductions and questions for the residents of Share House Ayaso! The rest is—"

"Huh? You're filming me too?"

|

"Yes! I wanted to add the part for Sanae-san, who always takes care of us, to the album!"

|

"...Well, fine. Is the wall of the house okay for a background?"

---

"So, you're gonna ask me questions too. I don't have anything unique like you guys, though. Sanae Senbachi. Occupation is manager of this share house. Well, it's not my main job. Hobbies are visiting restaurants occasionally. I can't go to Fengchi's place much because it's too expensive."

|

"Aah?! The questions again?! And you said everything first!"

|

"Compared to your unique profiles, mine is too normal. It's boring to listen to, right?"

|

"That's not true! Sanae-san, you are also very charming and unique!"

|

"No, I'd really rather not be grouped with you lot... Oh, Sumire-chan is an exception. Also, I'm happy you said that."

|

"A rare moment of sweetness! Thank you! Now, this time for real, we're ending the recording! Thank you very much!"

|

"I wasn't being sweet. Thanks for watching this far."
