Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Azuma	......
Tasuku	...Are you thinking about something?
Azuma	...How'd you know?
Tasuku	No, you just seemed like you were in a daze.
Azuma	Maybe I'm just looking at the scenery?
Tasuku	I thought so too, but...you seemed different than usual.
Azuma	Only Tasuku could ask such a question without any proof.
Tasuku	That's definitely not a compliment.
Azuma	Fufu, did you want me to?
Tasuku	...Sigh.
Azuma	It's nothing big, though. I was just wondering what to do with the keychain for the real-life gacha project.
	You know, so many people have been losing their keys, so we decided to put keychains in a capsule toy and have an exhange party, right?
Tasuku	Ohh, that thing.
Azuma	Have you decided already?
Tasuku	I guess.
	But it's rather unusual for you who socializes a lot to worry about this kind of gift.
Azuma	There are various things that are neither good or bad, and that anyone will be pleased with, but...
	It's surprisingly hard when you have to think about everyone in the company since we have a wide range of age groups.
Tasuku	You don't have to think about it so seriously, you know.
	Why don't you just give them something that reflects your own taste? That's more your personality anyway.
Azuma	My personality, huh...
Tasuku	Well, I'm just repeating what someone said though.
Azuma	Is that someone you, maybe?
Tasuku	......
Azuma	(Since he's not answering, perhaps I'm right?)
Tasuku	In the first place, it's something that you can enter anonymously, so you should think about it more at ease.
Azuma	...Yeah, I guess you're right. Fufu.
Tasuku	...What is it now?
Azuma	Nothing. I just thought that sometimes you give me good advice.
Tasuku	...Well, sorry that I'm only useful occasionally.
Azuma	Sorry, sorry. Don't sulk, okay?
Guy	Director.
Azuma	Sorry to make you wait.
Izumi	Thanks for coming to pick me up! You're a huge help.
Guy	I do not mind. This place was just on the way to the store...
	And now you are supposed to accompany Yukishiro and I on our shopping trip.
Azuma	That's right. So it's a mutual thing.
Izumi	You can leave it to me! I'll do whatever you want, even if it's carrying your luggage!
Azuma	Fufu, how reliable. Well then, let's go.
Izumi	I didn't think we'd be going here... I feel a bit nervous just being here...
Azuma	Fufu, you'll be fine. I just want your opinion on something.
Izumi	In that case, I'll help you in any way I can!
Azuma	Thanks, I'm counting on you.

Azuma	......
Izumi	(Azuma-san is just staring at the keychain...)
Azuma	Hey, Director, Guy. What do you think of this?
Izumi	This cat-like keychain? I think it's cute! It has a mysterious looseness to it...ah!
	Is this keychain for the real-life gacha project?
Azuma	That's right.
Izumi	It's also reasonably large, and if it's attached to a key, I don't think you'll lose it.
Guy	I agree. This design is suitable for all ages.
	And if you put it in the gacha machine, the price is not something you can see.
Izumi	(? The price...)
	?!
	(That's a shocking amount of zeros... It's definitely a good thing that you can't see the price...)
Azuma	I was a bit lost on what to do, but...
	I'd be happy if the person getting what I like would like it as well.
	But I still wanted to hear someone else's opinion, so I asked you guys.
Guy	We all have been together for a long time. Everyone will accept it no matter what.
Izumi	That's right! But it's more interesting since we can see your personality through it!
	Wait, huh? I feel like I've told someone the same thing...
Azuma	...I see, you're right. I'll go with this, then.
Izumi	Okay!
Tsumugi	Fufu, it's exciting to spin the gacha to see what kind of keychain we'll get...
	It's also fun to see everyone's keychains.
Guy	I agree. It is interesting that there are things in there that I would not have thought of myself.
Azami	It's Azuma-san's turn next, right?
Izumi	I can't wait to see what he'll get!
Azuma	Fufu. I'll give it a spin, then.
	Heh, it's a leather keychain.
Azami	The one you pulled looks pretty good.
Sakyo	That's a solid keychain. It's even got an engraving on it.
Azuma	Oh my, I guess you two have similar tastes.
Azami	Hah? That ain't the case.
Sakyo	...Don't mess with me.
Guy	It looks like the Mankai Company logo.
Azuma	Fufu, is it self-made? You can really tell he loves the company, huh?
	It was fun to choose something that I could feel my own taste and personality in, and that I hoped the other person would enjoy, too--
	But it's also nice to receive something that someone likes.
Guy	Yes, I agree.
