Taichi | Kazu-kun, are these photos from yesterday’s contest? |
Kazunari | That’s right. The theme park was super elaborately built, and the moment we stepped through the gates, it felt teriffically like a trip~! |
Muku | Everywhere you looked, the fairy tale world was unfolding. It was fun. |
Kumon | Wow, really feels like being directly in the world of fairy tales! |
Taichi | Awesome! |
Azuma | If I’m not wrong, you performed by using all kinds of locations, right? |
Kazunari | Right! They let us use the worlds of Little Red Riding Hood, Hänsel and Gretel, and the like. |
Muku | Even now, thinking of it makes you feel kind of excited, right? And doing a mix of the fairy tales for our performance was enjoyable too. |
Kazunari | In a sense, it was a new fairy tale, so couldn’t it be made into a picture book? |
Kumon | I might want to read that! |
Muku | A picture book… true, it seems interesting if that story became a picture book! |
Kazunari | In that case, shall we make it with everyone who took part? |
Taichi | If you make it, I want you to read it out loud! |
Itaru | Mornin’… |
Kazunari | Ah, Itarun! Do you want to make a picture book with us? |
Itaru | …picture book? |
| |
Muku | …that’s why we were thinking that we would like to make the story of our play for the contest into a handmade picture book. |
| And we would like it if all those who participated would draw one page each… |
Kazunari | I will lend a hand if you’re bad at drawing! |
Sakyo | A picture book, huh?…. |
Itaru | …sounds good. If Kazunari will help out, it feels like even the bad drawings will come out good in their own way. |
Izumi | It will make a nice memory too, so why not? |
Masumi | If you’re drawing, then so will I. If you feel like it, I’m fine with working on one page together with you. |
Yuki | Seems fun, so I’m in, I guess. |
Tasuku | I’m not that great at drawing, but if it’s just 1 page, it should be alright. |
Kazunari | So if everyone’s in favour, that’s an OK? |
Sakyo | …why not, I guess. |
Muku | Oh, by the way, once the picture book has been completed, we were thinking of doing a read-aloud as well! |
Kazunari | We will notify you once we’ve arranged all preparations! |
| |
Sakyo | …to think you would be in favour before anyone else. |
Itaru | Your face seemed to be saying that you wanted to make it, but since you couldn’t say it easily, I did it in your stead. |
Sakyo | I don’t remember doing such a face. |
Itaru | Is that right? Thought you were surely remembering your mother’s picture books. |
Sakyo | There’s no way I would do that. |
Itaru | Yeah yeah. I will leave it at that. |
Sakyo | Geez… |
| |
Muku | Anyway, the picture book was completed without a hitch, so today, we will start our live reading! |
Taichi | I’m excited! |
Kumon | All of you drew the picture book together, right!? |
Azuma | Fufu, a handmade picture book. How wonderful. |
Homare | I’m immensely curious about its content. |
Itaru | Now then, let’s get started with “Reinterpretation: Hänsel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan”– |
