Azami-sama’s Role Study
Backstage Stories| Azami | (Thank god. Finally, I got my hands on the cosmetics set I’ve been eyeing on.) |
| (I should head back to my room and test it out.) | |
| Hisoka | Azami, welcome home. Good timing. |
| Azami | I’m back… What’s with the big paper bag? |
| Hisoka | … I was gonna have you wear this. |
| Azami | Wear what? |
| Hisoka | …..This. |
| Azami | A king's costume? |
| Hisoka | Director was gonna give it to you herself, but it seems her hands are full right now. |
| Azami | No wait, I don’t really get what you mean— |
| Hisoka | Role study. For your king’s role. I wore it earlier, so you should follow suit too. |
| Azami | Hang on, Hisoka-san—— Aaaand he’s gone. |
| (Geez, do I seriously have to wear this…) | |
| Azami | What do I do with this… |
| (Having to wear this in front of others is too much… Actually, it’s still cringe even without anyone seeing.) | |
| … Why am I even thinking about this so seriously? | |
| (It’s not like anyone said I’m not allowed to NOT wear it.) | |
| *knock knock* | |
| Banri | Yooo. Omi had some scones done, wanna grab some? |
| Azami | Wai— Don’t just come into people’s rooms without asking! |
| Banri | Huh? It’s not that big of a deal. Though, if you’re acting suspiciously like that while hiding something… |
| Azami | Th-there’s nothing…. |
| Banri | Oh? Isn’t this that sample king costume? |
| Azami | Tsk. |
| Banri | I see now. You didn’t want to be seen with this, huh? |
| Azami | That’s not… Hisoka-san just shoved this to me without my say…… |
| Banri | Sure sure whatever you say, hurry and let’s see you wear it already. |
| Azami | You and Hisoka-san both….. Why do you want me to wear it that badly? |
| Banri | It’s for the king role study, ain’t it? All you need to do is wear it and act like one. |
| Azami | Even if you say that… |
| If you tell me to act like a king, I don’t have any kind of image in mind to follow. | |
| Banri | And this will help you with that. |
| If it’s for role study, then how’s about we do this? | |
| Wear this outfit and then—— (whisper whisper) | |
| Azami | … Ohh, I getcha. We can do that. |
| Muku | Omi-san’s scones are as delicious as ever! |
| Omi | Glad to hear it. I’ve made some side dishes here as well. |
| Kumon | These are soooo good! Omi-san you’re amazing! |
| Omi | What you have there is an almond and cheese scone. |
| The ones I had from a certain cafe somewhere were pretty tasty, so I tried to remake them. It’s good to know you all like it. | |
| Izumi | We got snacks and we have dishes… There’s just so many flavors to try! |
| Banri | Everyone’s sure stuffing themselves. |
| Izumi | Oh, Banri-kun. Did Azami-kun mention he’ll join us? |
| Banri | Ah… Yeah, I suppose he’s coming. |
| Izumi | …You look like you’re in good spirits. |
| Banri | Mm, you could say that. |
| He sure is taking his time putting it on though… | |
| Izumi | (Who’s putting on what now…?) |
| Azami | Ba…Banri-san….. |
| Banri | Ah there he is. Just get in here already. |
| *door opens* | |
| Azami | Wh– don’t just pull me like that— |
| Banri | See? It suits ya. |
| Izumi | Isn’t that costume— |
| Kumon | The king cosplay outfit! |
| Muku | You look cute in it Azami-kun! |
| Omi | It fits you well indeed. |
 |
|
| Azami | ….. |
| Izumi | I wasn’t expecting you to look so kingly, let alone wear it so earnestly. |
| Azami | …There’s just something I wanted to try out. |
| Izumi | Try out…? |
| *door opens* | |
| Sakyo | I’m home. |
| Kumon | Oh Sakyo-san, you came back just in time! Azami is—— |
| Sakyo | …Bon, what’s with that get-up. |
| Azami | …You really did come at a good time, Shitty Sakyo. |
| Banri | Azami’s in the middle of a role study right now. Just follow along, Sakyo-san, if you so please. |
| Azami | First off, as your king, I’ve got an order for you. |
| Sakyo | An order? From you? |
| Azami | You are to address me as Azami-sama. If you refer me by anything else, you have to surrender a penalty fine to this coin bank. |
| Sakyo | What part of this is supposed to be a role study? |
| Azami | A role study to become more kingly, that’s what. Now, follow as you are ordered. |
| Sakyo | And what kind of kingdom has a king who saves up on a coin box… |
| Azami | Just shut up and listen to my orders. |
| The money saved up from this box will be used as funds to buy us more cosmetics in the future. You can’t dare complain about that, right? | |
| Sakyo | ….. |
| Izumi | Azami-kun seems pleased with himself… |
| Banri | Well, this is just like them, ain't it? |
| Kumon | It does look fun though! I wanna try it out too! |
| Muku | Kyu-chan, you shouldn’t interfere! |
| Sakyo | Tsk… Fine then. |
| Banri | There’s the answer we were expecting. |
| Omi | Despite everything, Sakyo-san would still spoil Azami, after all. |
| Izumi | (Is this role study gonna turn out alright…?) |
| Sakyo | …. Hey, bon—— |
| Azami | Alright, that’s a penalty. Pay it up. |
| Sakyo | Tch….. |
| Azami | Are you gonna tell me you’re messing up on purpose? You haven’t been calling me "Azami-sama” at all. |
| Sakyo | Like I can change the habit just like that. |
| Azami | That so….. Well, whatever. As long as it keeps the funds going. |
| Sakyo | How long are you even planning to keep up this charade? |
| Azami | For as much of today as possible. You’d better do your best to not mess up what I ordered you to do until the day is done. |
| Sakyo | Good grief…. |
| Banri | Azami is being quite the spoiled brat with Sakyo-san, isn’t he? |
| Yuki | As long as he wears that outfit, Mister Yakuza can’t oppose him. |
| Misumi | Azami’s crown has so many sharp triangles around it! It’s so cool! |
| Kazunari | Azamin’s gonna end with a motherlode if this keeps up ‘till the end ☆ |
| Muku | It does seem like he’s saved up a lot already…. |
| Tenma | Wasn’t the whole purpose of this for role study? Or was it actually to grab some cash? |
| Izumi | (Oh, is that Azami-kun there?) |
| Azami | ….. |
| Izumi | (It looks like he’s watching a video…) |
| (I wonder if it’s make-up related… Or perhaps a video about chess?) | |
| (Azami-kun was wearing that outfit that whole day, I was actually starting to get used to seeing him in it….) | |
| (...Oh, I know!) | |
| …Azami-sama! | |
| Azami | WOAH!? |
| Wha-wha-wha—— | |
| Izumi | S-Sorry, I didn’t think you’d get that surprised…! |
| Azami | J-Just call out to me normally…! Besides, what’s with that name!? |
| Izumi | Uhm… Well, you were forcing Sakyo-san to call you ‘Azami-sama’ the whole time, I wanted to try doing it myself. |
| It was just on a whim, but still, I’m sorry. | |
| Azami | It was exclusive to Shitty Sakyo only! You can’t just call me that, it’s weird!! |
|
CHOICE 1: It’s cute to see you so embarrassed, Azami-kun. [+]
|
|
|
CHOICE 2: Did I make you upset? [+]
|
|
| Azami | … Well, playing king didn’t produce any useless results though. For more reasons than one. |
| Izumi | What do you mean by that…? |
| Azami | Nothing, just talking to myself. |
| ….. | |
| Banri | Oh is that the penalty box from before? Looks like there’s a lot in there. |
| Azami | Yep. Seems like I’ll be able to buy those make-up tools and supplies with this. |
| Banri | …Thank you for your service, Sakyo-san. |
| Azami | It’s his own fault he wasn’t following orders. |
| But still, the role study turned out more fun than I thought. All thanks to your schemes too, Banri-san. | |
| Banri | To think we’d get this much funds out of that… Hm, maybe I’ll try wearing that outfit and order Hyodo around too. |
| Azami | I think you’re better off giving up on that scheme…. |
