Homare Arisugawa/HOTEL COMPASS

Arisugawa Homare Reshaping Plan

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Good work everyone.
	If there’s nothing else, let’s end practice here for today–
Homare	Can I have a bit of your time? I need to ask something about my role study.
Izumi	Homare-san, what is it?
Homare	Ah, actually, I’m a bit worried about my role study as a hotelman.
	I would like to ask if I can get a good idea from everyone here.
Azuma	When you’re talking about hotelman… There’s the part about carrying luggage too right
Tsumugi	That’s true. When you arrive at the hotel, they will carry your luggage to your room.
Tasuku	Ah… That might be a good idea.
	Arisugawa often leaves his luggage to someone else.
	Maybe you can carry them yourselves once in a while.
Homare	Tasuku-kun! Even I can carry my luggage myself!
Guy	Why don’t you try it first, if it’s not right then you can consider another thing for your role study afterwards.
Izumi	You’re right. I think it’s good to try various things.
Tsumugi	From there, you might be able to get hints for other role study too.
Homare	Hmm… That’s true.
	Then, I guess I’ll attempt it for the time being.
	<Shifts to Lounge>
Homare	…Yeah.
	Reading while enjoying the scent of black tea’s the best, like this, I can feel the poetic inspiration welled up–
???	Hieeee…!
Homare	…What’s that disturbing noise.
	Even though it’s a place where a new poem was born.
???	Hieeee…! So, someone please help me~!
Homare	(The voice seems to be coming from the corridor, if I’m not wrong this voice belongs to…)
	<Shifts to Front Door>
Homare	Ah, as I thought.
Manager	Ah, Arisugawa-san, what a good timing.
	Please help me to carry this luggage~…
Homare	That’s a lot of luggage you have over there, what’s happening?
Manager	The props that we lend to other theatre troupes previously and our online purchases happen to arrive at the same timing…
	Props aside, I ordered this box over here without permission from Furuichi-san, it’s going to be bad if I got found out~…!
Homare	You’re just reaping what you sow isn’t it… Well, it’s fine I guess.
	Leave it to me!
	I can safely carry this much luggage to the storage room.
Manager	Really! You’re a lifesaver~!
	<Short Time Skip>
Tasuku	I’m home… Wait, what’s with the luggage?
Manager	Ah, Tasuku-san! What a great timing!
	Please help me carry these luggage~
Tasuku	If you want help on the luggage, you can ask Arisugawa.
	He said he’s going to carry people’s luggage for his role study.
Manager	About that…
Homare	…
Tasuku	Arisugawa? What are you sitting over there for?
Manager	I was asking Arisugawa-san for help, but he’s been like that just after carrying a few boxes.
Tasuku	…
Homare	Hmm… Tasuku-kun, you’re back.
	It seems that I was too tired and ended up losing consciousness.
Tasuku	I see…
Homare	Tasuku-kun…? Wh, why are you smiling!?
Tasuku	…Well, it seems that Arisugawa needs some muscle training, starting from the basic.
Homare	–!

Homare	…!?
Tasuku	Oi, Arisugawa. It’s time for jogging.
Homare	Tasuku-kun…!?
	You, do you happen to still be in your debt collector role!?
Tasuku	Just stop with that and come out already.
Hisoka	…It’s noisy. Arisu, just go out already.
Homare	Ughh…
	<Shifts to Courtyard>
Homare	Geez, what did you say…!
Tasuku	Don’t complain. You should at least have the minimum degree of physical and muscle strength.
	<Short Time Skip>
Tasuku	…19, …20.
Homare	Ughh…
Tasuku	Oi, you’re only halfway done.
Homare	I’ve been doing nothing but moving my body since morning…!
Tasuku	If you’re like that, how can you be entrusted with the customer’s important luggage?
	Let’s continue. 21, 22…
Homare	H, hiee…!
Tsumugi	…Homare-san, I wonder if he’s alright.
Azuma	Well, I’m sure Tasuku knows how much this can go on.
	I think it’s fine to leave it to him.
Guy	It’s rare to see Arisugawa moving his body so much.
Tsumugi	Ahaha… He will definitely feel muscle pain all over his body tomorrow.
	<Short Time Skip>
Homare	Omi-kun, this chicken tenderloin is pretty delicious!
Omi	Thank you.
	The chicken tenderloin is rich in protein and its good for muscle training, I thought it would be a good idea to add it in the menu.
Izumi	Homare-san, how’s your training for your role study?
Homare	Hmm, it was quite a steep training menu at the beginning, but the pain mysteriously disappears as I went along with it.
	Somewhat, I feel that I have gained the necessary physical and muscle strength.
Izumi	(I was worried at the beginning, but it seems that he’s enjoying himself)
Tsumugi	Then, tomorrow’s practice will surely go well too.
Homare	Yeah! Leave it to me.
	<Short Time Skip>
Homare	Thanks for the food. Then, I’ll be going back to my room for now.
Tasuku	In that case, you can do your role study and carry that back as well.
Izumi	Ah… Hisoka-san, he fell asleep again.
Homare	Hmm. Let me try it.
	Uhh, he’s heavier than he looks…!
Hisoka	Zzz
Homare	Hisoka-kun! Are you making yourself heavier on purpose!?
Hisoka	…Zzz
Tasuku	Don’t drop him on the way, Arisugawa.
Homare	Ughh… I, I know…
Izumi	(Yeah, it has become a role study… I guess?)
	<Short Time Skip>
Izumi	Eh? Where’s Homare-san?
Hisoka	I think, he’s coming soon.
Tsumugi	Ah, speak of the devil–
Homare	I’m sorry I was late…
Guy	Arisugawa, what’s with that way of walking.
Izumi	Ho, Homare-san!?
Tsumugi	Are you alright?
Homare	Ah… This is, it’s just muscle pain from the short-term intense training.
Tsumugi	Eh, but you were able to move normally yesterday right?
Azuma	Hmm, they said that muscle pain comes later as you get older…
Guy	Arisugawa’s surely in that state.
Homare	If it’s like this, I can’t even hold a pen, much less a luggage…
Tsumugi	…Tasuku, you went too far.
Tasuku	…Sorry.
