Head for Battle! The Department Store Cosmetics First Sales War
Backstage StoriesAzami | Director. |
Izumi | What’s up, Azami-kun? |
Azami | Are you free the day after New Year’s Day? |
I’ve got a request for you. | |
Izumi | That’s January 2nd, right? |
I was thinking of relaxing the first 3 days of the new year, so I don’t have any particular plans. What’s the request? | |
Azami | I wanna go buy the lucky bags of the cosmetic stores in the Department store’s basement; will you go with me? |
The lucky bags’ll be cheap, and it’s a good chance to get a huge amount of cosmetics. | |
It’s not like the other guys are the type to go shoppin’ for makeup with me, so… | |
Izumi | Ahh, I see. |
I mean, that’s true… | |
Azami | So that’s why I want Director to help me out. |
Izumi | (The cosmetics in the basement cost tens of thousands of yen each, right? |
If they’re in lucky bags, then it’d be a really great deal…) | |
I got it. If it’s something like that, then I’ll lend you a hand. | |
Azami | Thanks. Then here. |
Izumi | This is… a map of the Department store's basement? |
Azami | Yeah. I got it when I went to look for cosmetics before. |
If you don’t look at this as you go, you won’t have a clue where anythin’ is cause the place is too huge. | |
Izumi | As expected, Azami-kun’s fully prepared! |
Azami | I’ll line up at CHIKKA’s store, so you go to this shop, Director. |
If you’re able to buy it, then get MAKE LIFE’s lucky bag after that. | |
Izumi | There’s quite a few places to visit, huh… |
Azami | Yeah, we’re puttin’ in the effort to go there, right? |
So we gotta buy as many as we can. | |
This is the route heading towards the stores… | |
And on the day, the stores open at 8am, so we’ll head out at around 6am. | |
When the stores open, head straight towards line for the lucky bags at your target store. | |
Are there any parts of my explanation just now you don’t understand? | |
Izumi | Ah, no, I’m good… |
(That felt like a meeting with Sakyo-san…) | |
Azami | Aight, I’m counting on you on the day then. |
Izumi | Yeah, I got it! |
Azami | Coming earlier than usual was the right choice, huh? |
Izumi | Yeah, there’s not that many people yet. |
Azami | A standby line for the stores has started to form, but I don’t think we’ll miss buying anythin’ if it’s just this long. |
I mean, we came this early in the morning so there’s no way I wanna go home defeated. | |
Izumi | (Azami-kun’s battle spirit is amazing… |
Anyways, I’ll do my best so I don’t drag him down!) | |
Store clerk | The stores will open shortly, but we have a request for the customers. |
Please do not run inside the stores as it gets dangerous. | |
Azami | Wow, finally… |
Store clerk | Then in 5! |
4, 3, 2, 1… THEY’RE OPEN! | |
Izumi | (WAH!? I’m caught up in a stampede…!? |
Even though they told us not to run, it’s a total battlefield!) | |
Azami | ‘Kay then, see you later. |
Izumi | R-right! |
(*Sigh*. It was tough getting jostled around in the crowd. But…) | |
It’s great that we were able to buy all the lucky bags we wanted. | |
Azami | Yeah. Thanks, Director, I owe you one. |
Izumi | Don’t mention it. |
I wonder what kind of items are inside the lucky bags? | |
Azami | There were some where the ads listed what was inside, but there are some that I have no clue about either. Wanna open them? |
Ah, this is the one I was curious about the colour of. | |
Even if you use a small amount of this brand’s eyeshadow, it’s super pigmented. | |
Izumi | Oh, really? |
It looks like a pretty subdued shade though… | |
Azami | It’s dark, so the colour comes out strong. |
For example, it’d look great on Tsumugi-san or Citron-san. | |
Ah, this foundation’s a nice one. | |
It’s got beauty treatment ingredients in it so it’s good for your skin. | |
Izumi | Heh… Ah, this lipstick is cute. |
It’s pink, but I think there’s a hint of orange added? | |
This colour's called coral pink, right? | |
Azami | Yeah, I think that colour would look nice on you, Director. |
Oh yeah, we went through the trouble, so I’ll do your makeup using these cosmetics we just bought. | |
Izumi | Right now!? |
Azami | I have other cosmetics I wanna test out too. Do you have plans or somethin’? |
Izumi | I-I don’t have any, but. |
Azami | Then right now’ll be my first makeup of the new year. |
Ahh, also… We were running around so much, I didn’t get the chance to say it properly. | |
Izumi | …? |
Azami | Happy new year, Director. |
I’ll be in your care this year as well. | |
Izumi | Ah, that’s right. Happy new year. |
Same here, let's get along this year too, Azami-kun. |
