Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Hisoka	Zzz...
Sakuya	Ah, Hisoka-kun.
	He's taking a nap with Pen Pen... I'll cover him with a blanket so he doesn't catch a cold.
Hisoka	Zzz...
Izumi	Oh, there he is.
Homare	We have been searching for you, Hisoka-kun. ...As I had expected, he is asleep.
Sakuya	Is there something urgent?
Izumi	It's not anything urgent, but I wanted to check with him about his Instablam picture spot.
Homare	Come, I have your marshmallows. Awaken.
Hisoka	Nom nom...
Homare	Now then, Hisoka-kun, have you thought about where you want to take the picture yet?
Hisoka	...Picture?
Izumi	We were talking about the Actors' Cafe promotion, where everyone has to take pictures and upload them to Instablam.
Homare	Each of us was supposed to think of a place that is Instablam-worthy, no?
Hisoka	......
Homare	Good grief, by the looks of it, you have not thought of anything yet.
Izumi	You're all supposed to post at least once, so you have to take a picture somewhere, too...
Hisoka	I don't really know what's Instablam-worthy and what's not.
Izumi	Right...
Sakuya	Ah! I just thought of this when I saw Hisoka-san and Pen Pen together, but how about the aquarium?
Izumi	The aquarium?
Sakuya	Yes. I think the aquarium where Homare-san and I did a show with Ikura and the other penguins is also good...
	In addition, the aquarium seems to have aquarium tunnels that make the penguins look like they're flying through the air.
	Wouldn't the picture turn out great if you took it in such a place?
Homare	What an excellent idea. Hisoka-kun is also fond of penguins, is he not?
Hisoka	Pen Pen flying...
Izumi	The penguins are flying, huh?
Hisoka	Then, I'll bring Pen Pen with me.
Sakuya	It will definitely be a great picture if you take it with Pen Pen or the other penguins!
Izumi	Yeah, you're right. Let's make plans and go shoot soon, then.
Homare	I am glad that this is settled.
Izumi	That was a really nice idea, Sakuya-kun.
Sakuya	I'm looking forward to the pictures!
Hisoka	Thanks, Sakuya.
Customer A	Hey, that guy has a big stuffed penguin with him.
Customer B	You're right. Was it sold at the shop?
Hisoka	......
Izumi	(Pen Pen is attracting a lot of attention, but...he doesn't seem to think anything of it, so I guess it's fine.)
Hisoka	Ah, it's here.
Izumi	Wow, we can see the penguins from above and the side!
Hisoka	This is amazing, they really look like they're flying.
Izumi	Yeah, they're cute when they're walking, but it's cool to see them swimming!
Hisoka	......
Izumi	What's wrong?
Hisoka	...I have an idea.

Hisoka	I'll hold Pen Pen like this...
Izumi	On its side?
Hisoka	Yeah, take the picture when the other penguins are right next to Pen Pen.
Izumi	Gotcha, here I go then.
	(Shutter sound)
	...What do you think?
Hisoka	It's nice.
Izumi	It looks like Pen Pen's flying in the sky with the other penguins!
Hisoka	Yeah. They're all cute.
CHOICE 1: That was a great idea. [+] Izumi Coming up with the idea of making Pen Pen look like it's flying by holding it sideways was great. Hisoka It looked like it feels good to swim like they're flying, and I thought Pen Pen would be happy to fly. Izumi That's true. I think Pen Pen does look a bit happy. Hisoka Really? Izumi Yep, Pen Pen looks good when it's taking a nap with you, but it also looks happy in this picture.
CHOICE 2: It's the perfect Instablam picture. [+] Izumi We managed to take a picture that looks Instablam-worthy! Hisoka Is this good? Izumi Yep. The fantastic atmosphere of the aquarium suits you, and you both look like you're in the water. Hisoka ...We really do. I'm glad we took it here.
Izumi	I'm glad we were able to take a good picture.
Hisoka	Thanks, Director.
Homare	How was the shoot at the aquarium, Hisoka-kun?
Hisoka	It was fun. Pen Pen is also in the picture with me.
Homare	I see. I wonder what kind of picture was taken--
Hisoka	Zzz...
Homare	Goodness, he has fallen asleep already. I will have you show me the picture tomorrow.
	Good night, Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	...Mhm? This is...the aquarium?
	Huh...Pen Pen's not here.
	Pen Pen, where did you go...
???	Hisoka-kun, I'm right here.
Hisoka	Huh?
Pen Pen	It's me, Pen Pen.
Hisoka	...You can talk.
Pen Pen	I'm sorry if I scared you. But I really want to express my gratitude to Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	Gratitude?
Pen Pen	Yep. I had so much fun flying with so many penguins today.
	It would be great if I could make memories with Hisoka-kun again somewhere else.
Hisoka	...I also want to make a lot of memories with Pen Pen. I'll take you to a lot of places.
Pen Pen	Thank you, Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	Wait, Pen Pen. I want to talk to you a bit more.
Pen Pen	Of course, let's talk a lot.
Hisoka	Yeah. ...Hm?
???	--Kun, Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	Sorry, there's a loud voice...
	I want to talk to Pen Pen, but my eyes are--
Homare	--Hisoka-kun! It is morning already, wake up.
Hisoka	...You're the worst. Your timing sucks.
Homare	If I have to keep waiting for the right moment, I will never be able to wake you up.
Hisoka	......
	We meet again, Pen Pen.
Homare	But you have been hugging Pen Pen tightly this whole time, no? For goodness sake, are you a sleepyhead?
Hisoka	Shut up. It has nothing to do with you.
Homare	You sure are in a sour mood this morning. Well then, here is a poem to make you feel brighter...
Hisoka	I'm going back to sleep.
Homare	Wait, Hisoka-kun, did I not tell you that it is morning already!
Hisoka	Zzz...
