MANKAI LIVESTREAM! LIVE: BANRI

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Kazunari-kun will join our leader’s meeting today.
Kazunari	Thx~
Banri	So you thought something up again?
Kazunari	Right on spot, Settzer! There’s a little something I wanted to try.
	Well… I thought about a project survey to know what our fans want us to do~.
Sakuya	A project survey?
Izumi	Yes. We did one for the fans following Kazunari’s proposal.
Kazunari	Now, thankfully, Mankai Company recognition has skyrocketed!
Tenma	That’s right, the number of new fans has grown a lot too.
Kazunari	Still, some of our first supporters seem to be sad because they feel we have grown apart.
	But no matter how popular we become, we want to be a troupe close to its fans, right?
Banri	Got it. So you did the survey for that.
Tsumugi	What were the results?
Kazunari	A lot of them wanna see more inste-lives and selfies from us!
Tenma	Well, the frequency of our inste-lives varies from each person.
Tsumugi	Same with the selfies. We tend to leave them to those who are good with SNS.
Kazunari	And here is my idea! We hold a special proposal with personal inste-lives and a selfie festival for 24 days non-stop!
Banri	A selfie festival?
Kazunari	You take a selfie during the live that later you’ll post it on Inste to hype them up!
Izumi	Sakyo-san said it’s okay as long as I watch over the streams to make sure there won’t be any problem.
Kazunari	Which means, it’s up to you guys… so what do you say?
Sakuya	I want to do it! Of course, to make the fans happy, but…
	I’m glad to get the chance to talk with our fans even if is through the screen!
Tsumugi	I would like to try it as well. I feel as if I’m understanding, little by little, more about inste-lives.
Tenma	But we can’t just chat there, right?
Kazunari	Yeah, about that. I thought to do another survey asking what they want to see each member doing.
Banri	That would make it easier.
Izumi	Each of your inste-live might be different and interesting.
Kazunari	It’s decided then! Leave the form creation and the answers summary to me!
Sakuya	Thank you so much Kazunari-san!
Izumi	Leaders, please share about the inste-lives and selfies with your troupe’s members.
Leaders	Got it!
Itaru	Ah, shoot.
Banri	How weird, Itaru-san. You’ve lost many times against me.
Itaru	Well, you were more mellow when we competed before.
Banri	What can I say. I’ve grown up.
Itaru	Yeah, no. You haven’t changed at all that bad attitude of yours.
	It’s really, really stuck to you.
Banri	Hey, are saying that to me?
	*LIME sound*
	Hm? It’s from Director-chan.
Itaru	What. Is she calling you?
Banri	Yeah, something about checking an example inste-live. Mine is tomorrow, after all.
Itaru	Heh, I see. So what will you do there?
Banri	I wasn’t sure about it. There were many different requests in the survey—
	But, yeah, those that fit in a short amount of time shorten the list. After thinking a lot, I decided to do a what’s in your bag.
Itaru	So you came up with a generic option.
Banri	Shut up. I only thought about something interesting for Mankai Channel.
Itaru	Sure, whatever you say. Then, you better go to see Director-san quickly.
Banri	We’ll continue later.
	*he goes out*
Itaru	…
Izumi	…and that’s how tomorrow’s stream should go. I’m sorry for calling you this late.
Banri	No problem. I’m counting on you tomorrow.
Izumi	Of course!
Banri	‘night then.
	*he goes out*
Izumi	(His idea seems simple. But, Banri-kun might manage it for sure—)
	*Itaru appears*
	Ah, good evening, Itaru-san. How have your games been?
Itaru	Well, today is not my day.
Izumi	Sorry about it, I guess…
Itaru	No need to be. Anyways, I came up with something interesting.
	So can you hear me out, Director-chan?
Izumi	…?

Banri	Okay, I’m ready. Start it whenever you want.
Izumi	…
Banri	Did you hear me, Director-chan?
Izumi	Eh? Ah, I’m sorry. I was reviewing today’s plan in my head.
Banri	That serious? Haha. It’s just an inste-live. You don’t need to plan that much.
	Take it easy.
Izumi	Ahaha. Yeah, you’re right…
	Then, let’s start.
Banri	Sure.
	Oh, is the image showing~?
Comment	Banri-kun!
Comment	Your image is showing~
Comment	I can see you well!
Banri	Seems like everything is good.
	Hello, I’m Banri Settsu from Mankai Company’s Autumn Troupe. Nice to talk with you.
Comment	Nice to see you!
Comment	I’ve been looking forward to this live~
Banri	Today’s stream idea came up from the requests you sent me.
	Thanks for sending all of them.
	With that said, I’m going to do a what’s in my bag—
Itaru	Wait a minute!
Comment	Hm!? Itaru-san!?
Comment	What is it? An intruder?
Banri	Eh, what? Itaru-san!? I mean, didn’t I tell you today was my stream?
Itaru	Tell me, Banri. You aren’t planning to tell what in your bad and close today’s streaming, right?
Banri	Ah?
Itaru	Of course, you aren’t. Such common content isn’t interesting after all.
Banri	No, listen. I have no idea what’s going on…
Itaru	Ah, hello. Sorry for not introducing myself early. I’m Itaru Chigasaki from the Spring Troupe.
Comment	Hello–!
Comment	You look pretty today…
Itaru	All of you waited for Banri’s streaming… but won’t you like to see a different side of him if you get the chance?
Comment	What do you mean?
Comment	Something is about to start, right?
Itaru	In that case, Banri will have to complete this challenge.
	Titled: “Will they overcome their dislike? Banri Settsu Edition”!
Comment	Clap, clap
Comment	I don’t understand well, but it seems fun!
Banri	Overcome my dislike? Hey, don’t tell me…
Itaru	What Banri has to overcome is… ta-dah, this~
Banri	Ugh… I knew it was natto! And I have to eat it here!?
Itaru	Well, of course. That’s how it should go.
	You might overcome your dislike if you eat it in front of everyone.
Banri	Shoot, don’t mess with me…! Who’s eating what!
Comment	Banri-kun, good luck–
Comment	Banri-kun will do it for sure!
Itaru	Look, everyone is supporting you.
Banri	This is your revenge for yesterday, isn’t it…
Itaru	I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Comment	Itaru’s evil smile!
Comment	You two get along so well~
Comment	What happened yesterday? lol
Banri	Anyway, I said I ain’t going to eat it—
Izumi	The time will end soon!
Banri	…!
	Shoot. The streaming will end if I keep running away from Itaru-san and the natto…!
Itaru	Come on, all these people are watching you, and you still aren’t going to eat it?
	What, did it hurt you? So, Banri was such a weakling guy?
Banri	You devil…
	Sigh— fine.
	Damn it…! Time to accept my fate…
Comment	Whoa–!
Comment	There it comes!
Banri	Ugh… d-disgusti…
Itaru	Well done.
Banri	Whatever, w-water! Quick, give me water!
Itaru	Sure, here.
Banri	Sigh… now I feel really tired…
Comment	Banri-kun, well done!
Comment	You are a challenger!
CHOICE 1: You gave me courage. [+] Your Comment I feel like you gave me courage. Comment Same here. I want to overcome something I don’t like. Banri Well… if you all think like that, I guess this draining experience wasn’t that bad. Still, I’m sure there’s a better way to encourage you than eating natto! Comment Of course lol Comment Valid lol
CHOICE 2: Could you overcome it? [+] Your Comment Could you overcome the natto taste? Banri No, that’s impossible. Comment Failed~? Comment Such a shame! Banri Why is it such a shame? You know, even if I wanted to overcome it, I wouldn’t say anything about it. Comment Banri doing his best looked so cool. Comment I wanted to cheer you on more! Banri Aah… well, I’m glad if you thought it like that.
Itaru	Now, there’s only one more thing to do, Banri.
Banri	Ah? There’s more…?
Itaru	No about the challenge, it’s the selfie. You have to take one and upload it after the streaming ends.
Banri	Ahh, that thing…
Itaru	As an actor, you must be ready to do a cool expression no matter what.
	That’s why, good luck doing your coolest pose.
Banri	Seriously? …hm, I’ll give it a try.
	*snap sound*
Itaru	Ooh~ that’s a good one. Nice, Banri.
Comment	Heh~ I’m curious about which face he’s doing!
Comment	I’ll be sitting in seiza style waiting for the Inste update.
Comment	I’m excited to see it!
Banri	Yeah, look forward to it. We are about to finish the stream.
	Sigh… well, I had a terrible feeling about all this, but—
	I think it’d be cool to do this sort of thing again if there’s the chance.
	So, wait forward to the next one. Until then!
Izumi	Good job, Banri-kun! You did it right on time.
Banri	Sure, however, you knew about all this Director-chan…
Izumi	About that… I-I’m so sorry. Itaru-san said it would be more exciting like this…
Itaru	And it was also part of the requests. Kind of.
Banri	Ah?
Itaru	Someone wrote they wanted to see Banri falling on a prank in the survey.
	So, I hurried to talk to Director-san and let her know the change of plans last night.
Banri	Humph… no matter what was your reason, it doesn’t change what you did. I’ll remember this.
Itaru	Oh, how scary~
	Leaving that aside, shouldn’t you update your Inste soon? You know, someone is sitting in seiza style waiting for it.
Banri	Ah, right. I’ll upload it now.
	Today’s selfie
	#ForgetAbout Today #What’sInMyBagForTheNextOne
Itaru	Yeah. Only your face was good.
Banri	I don’t want to hear that from you…
