INVENTIONS SURVEY

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Taichi	A-chan, your inventor role in this play is so, so cool~!
Azami	Yeah, but what is kinda good for its role study?
Taichi	Isn’t inventing something perfect for it?
Azami	Inventing… that’s like making a thing, right?
Taichi	Exactly! You can get a hint for your role by creating something. Even a small one could work!
Yuki	Ah, you’re still awake. Don’t you say lack of sleep is bad for the skin? You should go to sleep soon.
Taichi	Nice timing, Yuki-chan! Is there something you want that A-chan can make?
Yuki	Something I want to make it?
Azami	Ah, you see—
Yuki	Oh, I get it now. Role study, huh?
Taichi	Something practical could work~! Or, if you have a request, you can also say it!
Azami	There’s a limit to what I can make, though.
Yuki	Hmm… I want a new sewing machine?
Taichi	A sewing machine!?
Azami	Hey, did you hear what I said, Yuki-san?
Yuki	I’m joking.
Taichi	You really caught me…!
Yuki	If you’re that lost about what to make, why don’t you make a survey asking everyone what they want?
Azami	A survey?
Yuki	Yeah. I made one for my kunoichi role study during the ninja play.
Taichi	Ah~! I remember that!
Azami	I see…
	Well, I don’t know if there’ll be proper answers, but it can be a reference. I’m gonna try it out.
	Do you have a minute?
Tsuzuru	What’s wrong, Azami?
Azami	I want you to answer this survey to take as a reference for my role study.
Homare	Oh, and about what is it?
Azami	On this paper, you can write something practical or something you want me to make.
Citron	Oh~! It sounds fun~!
Banri	Anything can go there?
Azami	Whatever you think I can make is good.
Azuma	I understand. Fufu, now what should I write?

Taichi	I brought the spring troupe’s surveys!
Yuki	Here are the summer troupe’s ones.
Azami	Thank you. We gathered all the answers. Now, let’s check them.
Taichi	Then, let’s start~! The first one says… “something to stop the snores from a roommate.”
Azami	Hah? That’s from Banri, no doubt…
Taichi	Hmm. Ban-chan has tried many ways to stop them. It seems hard to invent something for it.
Yuki	Let’s leave that one aside for now. Next one. “An item to make me the one for them (but only me).”
Azami	…What do they think an inventor is? A wizard or something…?
Taichi	Then, next one! “A triangle thought up by Azami!”
Azami	Yeah, that’s so loose. I mean, that doesn’t seem like an invention, does it? Next, please.
Yuki	“A robot that goes to the company instead of me.”
Azami	I told them to write something that I can make!
Taichi	“A robot that automatically cleans and does the laundry and also writes the documents for me.”
Yuki	…Yep, he’s a useless manager.
Azami	And no one hears what others say!
	All of them are nonsense. I can’t use any.
Yuki	Well, most of the answers in my survey were like that too.
Azami	Sigh… To be honest, I can’t come up with a helpful invention easier for me, either…
Taichi	Ah! What about Sakyo-nii’s one, A-chan?
Azami	Haah? Why that guy—
	And he wrote “a backscratcher.” What is he? An old man?
Yuki	However, it might work as something practical.
Azami	No way. Besides…
	…!
	Yeah… you know what? I’m gonna go with this one.
Taichi	Huh?
Azami	Now that I chose that, let’s quickly prepare the tools.
	—Hey you, shitty blonde four eyes. Here, I give you this.
Sakyo	Aah? Hey, don’t throw away your things.
Azami	I took the time to make that, don’t complain about it.
Sakyo	This is… a backscratcher?
Azami	You really are an old man.
Sakyo	I just put something easy to make and understand.
	However, is this well made? Let’s find it out now…
	…?
	Hey, this… I was wondering why my itch isn’t going away but now that I look at it, isn’t the tip made of rubber?!
Azami	Pft…
Sakyo	Bon, you…
	Sigh… If you can make this to annoy me, use those abilities for something else!
