Azuma Yukishiro/HOTEL COMPASS

Role Study "Owari"

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Azuma	This Zahran sake has such a wonderful aroma, and it tastes amazing.
Guy	I am happy you like it.
	It goes perfectly with the snacks that also came in our regular Zahran care package. Please have a taste.
Azuma	Thank you. .... Yes, they go together quite well. This is really good.
	Fufu, you play the hotel manager in our upcoming play, but I can’t help but wonder what if you were actually the manager of a hotel--
	Something tells me you would have a lot of interesting ideas for campaigns and different services to offer guests as well as an ample supply of delicious sake like this.
	The hotel our performance revolves around is slowly sinking, but I’m sure you could fix up a place like that as manager.
Guy	Fix up the hotel you say...? Hmm now that you bring it up, I could probably use that as an idea for my role study.
Azuma	I had a feeling you would agree.
	Yea, it’s not such a simple question. How about we ask the others about it too?
	It would make for quite the interesting discussion, right?
Guy	Agreed, let’s ask them tomorrow.
Azuma	Yesterday Guy and I were talking over some drinks.
	We were talking about what would we do and what sort of hotel would we make if we were tasked with fixing up the hotel from our performance.
Homare	Ohh, you’re asking us what we would do to fix up the hotel?
Guy	Yes. It’s not a simple question, but we wanted to know what everyone would do.
Azuma	We thought we could use everyone’s answers for some role study. It should be interesting, what do you think?
Tsumugi	I see. This relates a lot to the play, it’s a great role study exercise.
Tasuku	I agree, everyone’s responses can also give a glimpse into how they see the world.
Homare	I really like this idea myself.
Hisoka	..... So, who should start?
Tsumugi	How about we start with the lead, what do you think Azuma?
Azuma	Hmm yea. So if you ask me, I would have to say--
	Welcome.
Female Guest A	Hello, Yukishiro-kun.
Azuma	Yes, thank you so much for making a reservation. I’ve been waiting for you.
Female Guest B	Anything for you, Yukishiro-kun. Of course we came.
Azuma	I thought perhaps now would be a good time, which is why I contacted you--
	I am happy you came. Please enjoy your stay.
	We are very proud of our luxurious furniture here.
Female Guest A	Speaking of which, when we were in our room we notice the furniture was a bit different from before.
Female Guest B	Oh yea, I noticed that. Fufu, we are looking forward to a good night’s rest.
Azuma	Many guests have said that once they lay down on the bed, all of their troubles melt away and they quickly fall asleep.
	If you have some time to spare during your trip, I invite you to try them out.
Homare	I see, putting nice beds in all the rooms sounds a lot like something the former escort Azuma would say.
Guy	I heard he would even arrange his own top quality bed.
Hisoka	I wanna go to Azuma’s hotel.
Tasuku	Mikage couldn’t tell a good bed from a bad one, he sleeps on anything.
Tsumugi	Other than that, Azuma’s acquaintances would drop by so there is no way the hotel would even go under in the first place.
Guy	He has quite the web of connections.
Azuma	Fufu, you think?
