Private Christmas Party
Backstage Stories| Guy | Welcome. |
| Izumi | Hello! |
| Guy | Director? It’s rare for you to come at this hour. |
| Izumi | I was on my way home from a little outing, but I got hungry, so I figured I’d stop by. |
| Guy | I see. I’ll fix up something light, then. |
| Izumi | Please do! |
| (They’re open for lunch during the Christmas season, but since the rush hour’s passed, the bar seems pretty calm.) | |
| Hisoka | …. |
| Izumi | Oh, Hisoka-san. What’s that box? |
| Hisoka | ….Christmas decorations. |
| Izumi | Huh, it really is. There’s window decorations, wreaths… even ornaments too! |
| I guess you’re decorating the bar for the Christmas season? | |
| Hisoka | No, these are for tomorrow. |
| Izumi | Tomorrow…? |
| Guy | Here you are, Director. I’m sorry it’s so simple. |
| Izumi | Wah~, coffee and sandwiches! It looks delicious, thank you. |
| By the way, Guy-san, are those decorations going to be used to decorate the bar during Christmas? | |
| Guy | Yes, those are for tomorrow’s private Christmas party. |
| One of our regular customers rented out the entire bar for a day and is going to host a Christmas party. | |
| Izumi | Heh, it’s amazing that you’re doing so much decorating just for one day! |
| Is this tambourine for tomorrow, too? | |
| Guy | No, Citronia left that. He said I could shake it every time someone placed an order. |
| Izumi | I-I see… |
| That reminds me! Guy-san, would you like to participate in a music festival? We have a tambourine position open. | |
| Guy | A music festival? |
| Izumi | It’s being held in Veludo, and Rento-san asked our theatre company to join it. |
| We’re still looking for members who can participate, so if Guy-san’s interested, please join! | |
| Guy | Alright, I’ll think about it. |
| Hisoka | Guy… I used all of these decorations. There’s kind of a lot. |
| Guy | Well, it’s better to use all of them. The bar’s settling down, so I’ll start decorating too. |
| Izumi | I can help too, once I finish eating! |
| Guy | I’m sorry to ask that of you…. but it would help. Thank you. |
| Hisoka | …Sorry for the wait. |
| Customer A | I’ll have this one too! |
| Citron | Good choice! |
| *door opens* | |
| Guy | Welco– Oh, the band. I look forward to working with you all. |
| Band Member A | Same here. |
| Guy | Feel free to drink this, if you’d like. It’s non-alcoholic, so you don’t have to worry about your performance later. |
| Band Member B | Don’t have to tell me twice, I’m thirsty so this helps. |
| Band Leader | Thank you for your concern, Guy-san, but there’s something I must apologize for. |
| Guy | What’s wrong? |
| Band Leader | To tell you the truth, our tambourine player got sick, so they couldn’t come today. |
| The songs won’t be unplayable, but the music won’t be as beautiful as usual… | |
| Guy | I understand. If it’s a tambourine you need, I have something that Citronia left behind… |
| Leader, do you have the sheet music? | |
| Band Leader | Huh? It’s right here. |
| Guy | Let me see that for a moment…. I see. |
| *tambourine sounds* | |
| Band Member A | Eh…. H-He’s playing it! |
| Guy | Hm. With a little practice, I think I could play it on beat. |
| Band Leader | T-Then… please do! Could you please be our back up tambourine player, just for this song! |
| Guy | Me? No, I… |
| Band Leader | Just one song! I just feel like this one would be too bland without the tambourine! |
| Hisoka | ….The place’s rented out for the day, so I think the bar would be fine without Guy for one song. |
| Citron | I’m here too, so there’s no worries! |
| Guy | Understood. I don’t know if it’ll work, but if you two say so, I’ll give it a try. |
| Band Leader | Thank you so much….! |
| Citron | Now for today’s special guests! The musicians! |
| Band Leader | Thank you for having us. |
| Guy | …. |
| Customer | Huh? The owner’s going to play too? |
| Guy | Just for one song. |
| Citron | Let’s begin~! |
| Customer B | Heh… they’re good. |
| Customer C | What a fun performance. |
| Customer A | Fufu, the owner seems to be enjoying himself. I’m glad. |
| *applause* | |
| Guy | ….Thank you very much. |
| Band Leader | Owner, thank you for your help! Now for the next song–. |
| Citron | «That was a pretty good performance, huh? Who knew you’d be such a tambourine prodigy?» |
| Guy | «I don’t think I’d ever make it as a musician with such a rushed performance–.» |
| (But the tambourine… If I practiced enough, I could probably perform in the music festival–) | |
| Hisoka | Citron… We’ve got a lot of food to serve. |
| Citron | Oh, sorry~! I was captivated by the wonderful performance! |
| Hisoka | It’s fine, just hurry up and help me… Guy, you need to start cooking the next dish. |
| Guy | Yes, sorry. I’ll get to it right away. |
| (I wonder if the tambourine slot is still open for the music fesitval, I’ll ask Director later.) |
