Until The Day You Can Buy One
Backstage Stories| Shift | Huh, isn’t it Azami! |
| Azami | Hm? Oh, Shift and Oruto? |
| Oruto | Long time no see, Azami! |
| Shift | What’s up with that thing on your back? |
| Azami | Ahh… I play a bassist in our next play. |
| I just happened to be practicing my bass. | |
| Oruto | Heh! A bass, huh…! |
| I wanna see! | |
| Shift | Hey now. There’s no way he can take it out here even if you ask. |
| Oruto | Ah, that’s true… |
| Azami | Well, I can take it out if you don’t mind that park over there. |
| Oruto | Really!? |
| Azami | Yeah. |
| Shift | Sorry ‘bout this, Azami. |
| Azami | No worries. It’s just a bit. I don’t mind. |
| See, this is what it’s like. | |
| Oruto | Wow, it’s so cool! |
| Azami | Ain’t it? |
| Shift | The bass suits Azami, doesn’t it~? |
| Oruto | I know, right! He looks just like a real bassist! |
| It must be cool to be able to play a bass like this… | |
| Shift | True. It’s somethin’ to admire? |
| Azami | Have you had your fill? |
| Oruto | Yep, thanks! |
| Shift | Good for you. |
| Oruto | Show it to me again, Azami! |
| Azami | You got it. Next time. |
| I’m back. | |
| Izumi | Azami-kun, welcome home. You’re late today. |
| Azami | After I practiced my bass, I ran into Shift and his lil bro on my way home. |
| Shift’s bro said he wanted to see my bass, so I let him see it for a bit. | |
| Izumi | Oh, I see. |
| Is Shift-kun’s little brother interested in instruments? | |
| Azami | It looks like Oruto’s into baseball, so I’m not sure. |
| I did think it was kinda unusual. | |
| Izumi | But you know, you can get influenced by the littlest things. His interest might’ve sparked this time. |
| Azami | Ahh, well, that’s true. |
| I guess it’s easy to get influenced at that age. |
| *buzz, buzz* | |
| Azami | Hello? |
| Shift | “Ah, Azami! Sorry ‘bout this, but the thing is, could you show Oruto your bass again?” |
| Azami | Oruto? |
| Shift | “He’s been wanting to see it again after you showed it to him at the park the other day.” |
| “He hasn’t straight up told me that he wants to, but I get that vibe from him…” | |
| Azami | Ahh… |
| Shift | “I can’t buy a bass even if I’m told to. So I was wonderin’ if I could at least ask you to show one to him…” |
| Azami | A bass ain’t something people can casually afford to buy, huh? |
| Shift | “I know you’re in your rehearsal period, so the timing isn’t great. But can I ask you just one more time?” |
| Azami | It’s fine. I showed it to him without thinkin’ too. |
| Plus, I promised I would let him see it again. | |
| I’ll head over now, if that’s chill with you. | |
| Shift | “Seriously!? You saved my butt! |
| Thanks, bud!” | |
| Azami | No prob. Aight, see you later. |
| (It looks like what Director and I were talking about before really did come true…) | |
| (…Oh yeah, I swear there was an instrument store around here.) | |
| (Yep, it’s not just basses—it costs a pretty penny if you wanna buy anythin’ nice.) | |
| Hm…? | |
| (…I guess I can buy that though.) | |
| Oruto | Welcome, Azami! |
| Shift | Thanks for coming out of your way~. |
| Oruto | … |
| Shift | Oruto. No matter how much you were looking forward to it, you’ll trouble Azami if you stare at him so expectantly. |
| Azami | Nah, I don’t mind. |
| Wait a second, I’ll take it out now. | |
| Oruto | Okay! |
| Azami | And up… |
| There. | |
| Oruto | Wow~, it’s just the coolest! |
| Azami | …Do you want a bass now? |
| Oruto | E-err… you see… |
| Azami | Here, I’ll give this to you. |
| Oruto | A bass keychain…? |
| Are you sure!? | |
| Azami | Yeah. |
| …It’s not a bad thing to want one, Oruto. | |
| But if you want it no matter what, then work hard to save up your allowance and buy one yourself when you’re older. | |
| Oruto | …Yeah! Thanks, Azami! |
| Shift | Azami… you’re a good guy… |
| Azami | Geez, you just realized that? |
