Backstage Stories
| Azami | You mean like this? |
| Yuki | You can add something in here. |
| Azami | Oh, you're right. |
| Chikage | I'm home. |
| Yuki | Ah, welcome home. |
| Azami | Welcome home. |
| Yuki & Azami | ..... Sta~re |
| Chikage | ? |
| Yuki | He's giving off a intelligent and collected impression around him. |
| Azami | He's tall too. We shouldn't have any problem with his over-all ambience. |
| Chikage | Perhaps, you're designing the costumes for the performance? |
| Yuki | Right. Yoritomo doesn't have a lot of appearance but it's an important role. He will be the person who will hunt down the main character, Kurou. |
| Azami | We would like to show the ruthlessness of Minamoto clan's chieftain and give the last boss aura into his character but we're having a bit of trouble. |
| Chikage | So that was it. |
| Yuki | Hey, Do you have plans tomorrow? |
| Chikage | It's my off from work tomorrow so I don't have any particular plans. |
| Yuki | I see. I want to try out various stuff. Make sure to leave your schedule open. |
| Chikage | No problem. |
 |
|
| Tsumugi | Wow. This sake is tasty and easy to drink. |
| Azuma | Fufu, I'm glad you liked it, |
| Sakyo | How's the rehearsal going? |
| Chikage | We just started the rehearsals and everyone is already enthusiastic about the performance but... |
| Itaru | But? |
| Chikage | Seems like Asami and Yuki is having trouble coming up with Yoritomo's costume. I was thinking how I can give off that last boss impression they're talking about. |
| Homare | Hmm.. That’s quite a problem. |
| Chikage | I'm currently doing some research about Minamoto no Yoritomo. |
| Turns out he's a famous military commander. I wonder if everyone can give me their image of him. I will use it as reference for role making. | |
| Tasuku | I remember. There's one famous wordplay related to him. |
| Citron | It's "1122, Kamakura handclap"[1], right? |
| Guy | Kamakura hachoo? Did he catch a cold? |
| Sakyo | Perhaps you mean "1192, Kamakura Shogunate". |
| Homare | He's famous for ruthlessly eliminating his enemies. |
| Azuma | He even attempted to eliminate Yoshitsune, right? I wonder if he acquired his ruthless and scary image because of that. |
| Citron | Oh yeah, I've seen it in drama! Yoritomo's childhood name is "Fallen Warrior". |
| Itaru | I've never heard of anyone giving "Fallen Warrior" as a childhood name. |
| Chikage | It's "Demon Warrior". |
| Tsumugi | Speaking of which, he wielded a sword named "Onikiri"[2], right? He might've gotten the image of a demon from that. |
| Chikage | Demon, huh. |
| Manager | So that was it. So it was a demon, hic. That's super cool. |
| Itaru | Woah ! freaked me out! I didn't realized the manager was here all along. |
| Manager | Demon, hic. Demons are super strong and cool~! hic, I would love to meet one ~! |
| Hisoka | He's dead drunk. |
| Sakyo | Good grief. |
| Citron | Demon and Chikage... |
| Ahh! I remembered something! | |
| Itaru | Come to think of it.. |
| Chikage | Oi, don't tell me-- |
| Citron | Chikage! Let's show them a demon ! |
| Azami | Maybe we can add more details here? |
| Yuki | You're right. |
| Hmm... I already tried different hairstyles and clothes but something's off. | |
| Just as I thought, without his glasses, his intellectual aura diminishes. | |
| Azami | I guess so. |
| Chikage | Good work. If we're done here, I'm going back to my room. |
| Itaru | We're back. |
| Citron | Chikage, I borrowed it ! |
| Chikage | Are we really doing it? |
| Citron | Yes ! Chikage is the demon ! |
| Itaru | The outfit looks good on you. It never hurts to try. |
| Chikage | Sigh... Give me a minute. |
| Azami | Demon? |
| Yuki | What are you gonna do? |
| Itaru | Just wait and see. |
| Citron | This is going to be exciting! |
| Chikage | Sorry to keep you waiting. |
| Yuki | That outfit... |
| Citron | We got it when we helped out with the temple's test of courage. The outfit is akin to a demon. |
| Itaru | Well, it looks like a demon but it's actually a Yaksha [3]. Senpai's role was really popular during the temple's event. |
| Azami | Heh, not bad. Long hair goes well with the costume. |
| Yuki | Yeah, it gives off a different impression. I've come up with an idea for Yoritomo's costume. |
| Azami | I've come up with a good makeup idea too. |
| Yuki | I'll draw the rough sketch now. Thanks for the hint. |
| Azami | Big help. |
| Chikage | Looks like we have solved the problem. |
| Citron | Mission accomplished! |
| Itaru | Good job! I can't wait to see the last boss costume. |
| Chikage | I'll go back to change. Excuse me then. |
 |
|
| Manager | Did Citron-kun told me yesterday that he would let me meet someone? I wonder who it is.. |
| Hmm... I got really drunk after so I can't remember the details clearly. | |
| But what if... He used his privilege as a royalty to bring a songstress from Zahra?! | |
| Chikage | ...Hm? |
| Manager | Eeek! D-d-d-d-demon!? |
| Chikage | To think that someone will dare to appear in front of me.. |
| Stupid human being, mind if I tear you apart....? | |
| Manager | Kyaaaaahhhh ! |
| Itaru | I heard someone screaming. |
| Citron | What's going on? |
| Manager | ... |
| *faints* | |
| Chikage | He said he wanted to meet a demon last night so I gave him a bit of fan service. I might've gone too far. |

Notes
- ↑ Citron mistook the wordplay "いい栗作" (ii kuri tsuku) as "いい国作" (ii kuni saku) which is a wordplay referring to "1192" the year when Kamakura Shogunate was established. "いい" = 11 and "国" or " くに" = 92.
- ↑ "鬼切" (Onikiri) literally means “Demon-cutter” . It is a famous sword owned by Minamoto clan
- ↑ Yaksha or Yasha is a type of nature-spirits in Hindu and Japanese lore.
