Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Fyuh……
	(I only have one more paragraph left for my work, I guess I’ll take a short break)
Taichi	A-chan, look, look~!
Izumi	Hm? This voice is……
Azami	Taichi-san, you’re really fast at folding Origami papers.
Taichi	Hehehe~!
Izumi	What are you guys doing right now?
Taichi	Ah, Director-sensei!
	We’re making Paper Cranes!
Izumi	Paper Cranes…… Are you going to use it for something?
Azami	Ah…… Actuallly –
	*Flashback*
Azami	I’m home.
Ichiro	Yo, bocchan.
	Do you come here to see Kaichou’s face?
Azami	You’re wrong.
	I just need to get something.
Ichiro	Well, if you have some time, you should go and say hello to Kaichou as well.
Azami	……
Sakoda	Oh!
	Isn’t it Azami!
Azami	Ken-san…. Err, what are you going to do with that large amount of Origami?
Sakoda	One of our members will be having his wedding ceremony!
	They’ll be used for that.
Ichiro	To fold cranes and scatter them, it’s the standard way to celebrate in our clan right.
Azami	Ah, the Paper Crane shower, last time you also did a similar thing.
Sakoda	This is really a lot~
	I should start folding soon, otherwise…
Azami	Then, I’ll also help you with the folding.
Sakoda	Oh!
	That will be a great help, thanks, Azami!
Ichiro	As usual, bocchan is weak to Sakoda, huh.
Azami	….. Leave me alone.
	*Back to Mankai Lounge*
Azami	So it’s like that, and we divide the work among the clan members.
Taichi	Then, I’m also helping out after I heard about it!
Izumi	Is that so. If that’s the case let me help out too.
Azami	That’ll help.
	You can use any one you like from these Origami papers.
Taichi	I’m done~! Ta-daaaah!
Izumi	Woah, amazing!
	They also have legs!
Azami	It’s certainly amazing, but the difference will make the whole thing quite messy isn’t it.
Taichi	Eh~
	Isn’t it fine!
Azami	Well, maybe it will be fine if it’s only one.
Taichi	Hehe! Then, next!
	What color should I go for next~
Izumi	Even choosing the paper for Origami is a fun thing, huh.
	Which one should I choose, I wonder……
	Ah, there’s a gold color Origami.
Taichi	The gold color ones, since there’s only a few of them it becomes a rare item!
	During elementary school, I used to fight for those with my friends~
Izumi	Yeah.
	Let’s keep it precious till the end then.
Azami	Eh, I wasn’t really concerned about that.
	*Short Time Skip*
Izumi	Eh, this part, how to fold it again……?
Azami	You’re wrong. You fold a valley on this part.
	After that, here, it will look better if you fold it until the edge.
CHOICE 1: I see! [+] Izumi I see! As expected of Azami-kun. You’re good at guiding others. The paper cranes that you fold have a very beautiful shape. You can easily see that it’s carefully folded. Azami Since we make it, might as well make it looks beautiful right. Izumi Fufu. Azami …… What. Izumi I was thinking that you really pour your heart into folding these Paper Cranes. Azami …… Not really, this much is normal.
CHOICE 2: Origami is surprisingly hard. [+] Izumi Origami is surprisingly hard. I keep forgetting how to fold. Azami Well, you don't get many chances to fold origami. Taichi But once you master it, you'll be able to fold crocodiles and gorillas too! Azami Taichi-san's level is completely different. Izumi Ahaha, it sure is.
Izumi	Well, regardless, to have Paper Crane shower as a custom…… Somehow, it feels so innocent.
Taichi	A very homely Yakuza!
Azami	What is that even.
	*Shifts to Road*
Azami	……
Taichi	Ah, A-chan you’re going home now?
	Let’s go home together!
Azami	Yeah.
Taichi	How is it? Everything well with the Paper Crane folding?
Azami	Not really…… It’s still not enough.
Taichi	Then, I’ll help out today too!
Azami	My bad, that will really help.
	Taichi-san is really good at folding Origami, you’re fast as well.
Taichi	Hehe!
	I’m glad that I can put my special skill to good use.
	By the way, Director-sensei will be helping out as well isn’t it?
	She brought back some Origami paper with her that time!
Azami	Yeah. Somehow, she started folding Origami in her free time.
Taichi	I won’t lose to Director-sensei as well!
Azami	What kind of competition is this.

Taichi	I’m home!
Azami	I’m home.
Omi	Welcome back. You’re with Azami today.
Taichi	We coincidentally met each other on the way back!
Sakyo	Wash your hands properly.
Taichi	No need to say, I’ll do it perfectly!
Azami	Guh, kuso Sakyo……
Sakyo	What kind of reaction is that.
Azami	Nothing.
Taichi	Then, let’s start making them immediately!
Omi	What are you guys making?
Taichi	Paper Cranes!
	We’re in the middle of helping out Ginsenkai~
Sakyo	Even though it’s the clan’s business, sorry to make you help out with it.
	I also try to do it in my free time but……
Taichi	No problem at all! I do it because I like it.
Omi	Eh, then let me help out too.
Azami	Thank you, Omi-san.
	Kuso Sakyo too, help out if you’re free.
Sakyo	…… I know.
Azami	Then, I’ll leave this much to you.
Sakyo	…… Oi, it’s obvious that mine is too much.
Azami	Don’t be such a loser.
Omi	Ah, I’ll help out too.
	Let’s all do it together.
Juza	Why do I need to go back together with you.
Banri	We came back from the same place, there’s no other choice.
Taichi	Ban-chan, Juza-san, welcome back!
Banri	Tch, you were walking so slow in front of me.
Juza	You were the one following me.
Banri	Don’t anyhow, I was just walking behind you.
Taichi	Eh, they weren’t listening!?
Omi	Haha, it’s this kind of scene as per usual.
Azami	They sure don’t get tired of it every single time.
Banri	Anyway, as an actor you should be more aware of your surroundings.
	Walk far away from me.
Juza	Damn you, I don’t need to be told such thing.
Banri	Haa? I was so nice to give you an advice, what the hell is that attitude?
Sakyo	You guys, you just came back and you’re already so noisy!
Banri	……
Juza	……
Taichi	Uwah, Sakyo-nii just struck them madly.
Omi	The Cranes are crying.
Sakyo	Sigh, if you have time for pointless thing, might as well you help with this.
Juza	…… What is it?
Banri	Paper Cranes?
Azami	Yeah, we’re going to use it for a wedding ceremony of Ginsenkai.
Taichi	Juza-san, Ban-chan, let’s do it together!
	It will be fun if everybody is doing it!
Juza	…… Alright, I’ll do it.
Banri	Since when did you guys do Origami.
Azami	Banri-san too, you seem to be dexterous with your hand.
Sakyo	That useless dexterity of yours, might as well put it to a good use.
Banri	…… Well, Ginsenkai’s members have taken care of me before, so I’ll do it.
Omi	Juza, do you understand how to fold the shape?
Juza	Yeah.
	*Short Time Skip*
Juza	It’s done.
Sakyo	It’s an interesting looking Crane.
Azami	Even though it’s just a crane?
Omi	Well, it’s fine to have one with a personality, isn’t it.
Banri	What’s with that distorted Crane?
	If you fold it normally, it should look like this right.
Taichi	Oh! As expected of Ban-chan, it’s perfect!
Juza	…… It’s not much different from mine.
Banri	Are you blind! They look totally different.
Sakyo	But, we have accumulated a lot of them.
Azami	Looking from this pile, the color seems to be too contrasting.
Juza	Then, I’ll fold this one this time.
Taichi	Ah, the gold color Origami!
	Looks neat.
Banri	It’s a waste of gold paper if you fold it with that sucky hand of yours.
	Just leave it and fold the weird flyers over there.
Juza	It’s fine however isn’t it.
Banri	Ah?
	Gold doesn’t suit you, bastard.
Juza	I took it first.
Sakyo	Are you guys elementary school kids.
Omi	This kind of argument, it sure happened a lot in the past.
Taichi	So nostalgic!
Azami	But, you shouldn’t fold a celebratory Crane using a flyer.
Izumi	Azami-kun, I finished the Origami share I took yesterday.
	Are there more…
Banri	The flyers are enough for you.
Juza	What a persistent bastard.
	You can use the flyers instead.
Izumi	… What kind of situation is this?
Taichi	Ban-chan and Juza-san are trying to take the gold-colored Origami!
Azami	As usual, it’s just a low level argument.
Izumi	Oh……
	(Even for Origami they become like this……
	I guess it’s as expected of Autumn Troupe……?)
