From A3! Wiki
The Prince of April 1st
Backstage Stories| Spring. | |
| A season which many brilliant encounters lay awaiting. | |
| Speaking of which, I too am a mere highschool girl who’s excited about starting the highschool life I’ve been yearning from now on——…… | |
| Izumi | Ack, it’s already this late———! |
| Sakyo | Honestly. It’ll be busy since it’s the entrance ceremony. How many times do I have to tell you that you still have the time to spare…… |
| The one who was currently giving a preaching was the eldest son, big brother Sakyo. | |
| Sakyo | Though I’m naggy and doing a job which I can’t plainly tell people about, I’m still a kind and proud brother of yours. |
| Omi | Morning, Izumi. You’ll be eating breakfast,right? I made cheese curry toast. |
| Izumi | Thanks! Ittadakimasu. |
| The one who had prepared for me my favourite curry toast was the calm and brilliant cook, the second son, big brother Omi. | |
| Omi | Haha, you have bed hair sticking out. Stay still for a while. |
| ……Alright, it’s fixed. Yup, you’re cute. | |
| Kazunari | My lovely little sister, Mornin’ piko~ Your super duper cute this morning too! |
| Uwa, isn’t this rather great seeing you in HanaGaku’s uniform! Let’s take a memorial shot, why don’t we !? | |
| Izumi | Whoa! G-Geez! I’m telling you that you’re being too close……! |
| The one who had suddenly hugged my shoulders was big brother Kazunari. Though he’s addicted to SNS, the hyped up and brilliant moodmaker of the house. | |
| Omi | Oh, Sakuya-kun has come to pick you up. |
| Izumi | Waa, I have to hurry! Well then, I’ll be going! |
| Omi | Have a safe trip. |
| ……She really did grow up to become a beauty just like our mother. | |
| Kazunari | That’s true~! I’m a lil’ worried that she might get caught up with the bad insects in HanaGaku! |
| ——A crybaby and selfish. Though she seemed particularly fond of me, the oldest son and had been following behind me all around ever since young. | |
| Around the time she was in kindergarten, she used to say that she’d become “big brother Sakyo’s bride” when she grew up. | |
| That very little sister of mine’s going to become a high schooler today. | |
| Even though I still think that she’s a little kid……It’s just as my little brothers say, she really did mature into a beauty. | |
| The very precious and important person to me. | |
| If anyone with half-baked feelings dares to lay a hand on my precious little sister—— | |
| Omi | HaHaha, his reminiscing as the older brother has started again. |
| Kazunari | It’ll take a long time for him to snap out of it once it starts~ |
| Omi | HHow about we eat breakfast too. |
| Kazunari | Right’o! |
| Izumi | Sorry for making you wait! |
| Sakuya | Not at all, it’s fine. |
| When I got out of the house, my childhood friend older by 2 years who lives next door had been waiting for me. | |
| Sakuya | I’m really glad that I can go to school together with you from now on. |
| Tsuzuru | Hm? Sakuya, what are you doing? |
| Sakuya | Oh, brother! |
| Izumi | Big brother Tsuzuru! Morning! |
| Tsuzuru | ! Could you be Izumi-chan? |
| I see, you’re entering HanaGaku from this year onwards……You got prettier during the time I’ve not seen you. | |
| Big brother Tsuzuru was Sakuya-kun’s older brother. When I was a child, sakuya and I, the three of us would often read picture books together. | |
| Sakuya | Then I’ll be leaving, brother! |
| Izumi | I’ll be leaving! |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah, have a safe journey! |
| Oh—darn, if only I could become a high schooler again so that I can go to school together with her. | |
| Muku | Oh, Izumi-senpai, Sakuya-senpai! Good morning! |
| Izumi | Muku-kun and Yuki-kun, morning~ |
| Muku | Wow, it’s really nice to see you wearing HanaGaku’s uniform……! How cute. |
| Izumi | Really? Thanks. |
| Yuki | Your ribbon is crooked. Come over here for a while. |
| ……This should be alright. Since it kinda suits you, how about changing the skirt length or something like that? | |
| Izumi | But, I don’t really know how to do those kind of things…… |
| Yuki | It can’t be helped then. I’ll help you fix it next time. |
| Izumi | Really? It’s a promise then, thanks! |
| Yuki | You’re rejoicing way too much. Honestly……I’ll make it really cute for you so be prepared. |
| Muku | How nice, I want to go to HanaGaku for my high school too. If that happens, I can return from school together with you…… |
| Besides, HanaGaku also has the rumoured prince there! | |
| Izumi | (The rumoured prince……?) |
| Homare | Morning, freshmens! ……Hey there, you’re also a freshmen, right? |
| Izumi | Good morning! Yes, I am. |
| I’m sure this person’s the one who was on the entrance pamphlet, the school’s president, Arisugawa Homare-san……! | |
| Homare | We’re giving a poem each to all the new freshmen students. |
| Ahh, a gorgeous flower, bright colours, upon the capricious destiny of a chef…… | |
| The key to my passion, my student……! | |
| Izumi | (Uwaa, what a passionate poem……!) |
| Homare | Yes, you’re making a knowing gaze that says that you understand art. So much that I might want to make you my secretary in the future. |
| So you’re called Ran-kun? I’ll call you out again in the near future. Please do enjoy life in HanaGaku! | |
| Izumi | Y-Yes……! |
| Huh? What’s going on? The party on the other side has suddenly gotten noisy…… | |
| Female Student 1 | Kyaa—! Isuke-senpai~! |
| Female Student 2 | Ahh, Isuke-kun’s really cool today as well……! |
| Izumi | (He’s really hansome……! But, why is there a parrot on his shoulder?) |
| Sakuya | He’s Matsukawa Isuke-kun. He’s this school’s prince and he’s really popular with everyone. |
| Parrot On Isuke’s Shoulder | ! |
| Izumi | Eh? The parrot came over here. |
| Parrot | Yo, cute missy! Are you a freshmen? Yours truly is Kamekichi, the cheeky idol parrot! |
| How about it. Won’t you go on a date with me after school today? I’ll take you to a really delicious parfait shop! | |
| Izumi | Wait, what? |
| Isuke | ………… |
| Oi Kamekichi, are you interested in that chopping board girl? | |
| Izumi | (C-Chopping board girl!? He’s the worst! Even though it’s the first time we’ve met, how rude a person are you!?) |
| I don’t want to hear that coming from a permy-haired person! | |
| Isuke | ……! |
| Humph……to be retorting back to me, what an interesting girl. | |
| Isuke | Oi, let’s go Kamekichi. |
| Kamekichi | Till later, cute missy! |
| Female Student 3 | Is that girl a freshmen……? How dare she retort back to Isuke-sama…… |
| Female Student 4 | What’s with that girl……! |
| Izumi | (I instantly retorted back without thinking but the gaze of all those girls on me really stings……) |
| (Uuu, my school life is already overcast by dark clouds this early in……!?) | |
| Sakuya | I-It’ll be fine, Izumi-chan! I’ll definitely protect you……! |
| Izumi | Sakuya-kun……! |
| Sakuya | Ehehe, you can rely on me anytime! Then, how about we go look at our class allotments? |
| Izumi | (I wonder how our homeroom teacher is like?) |
| Itaru | Morning everyone. I’ll be starting the homeroom. |
| I’ll be your homeroom teacher for this year. I’m Chigasaki Itaru. Let’s all have a wonderful school life together. | |
| Female Student A | Eh, isn’t he really super refreshingly handsome!? |
| Female Student B | Uwaa, how lucky of us to be having such a cool homeroom teacher! |
| Itaru | Come on, don’t make noise. I’ll be taking the attendance then. |
| Well then, homeroom is over……And also, Tachibana-san. Could you please come to the staff room during lunch break? | |
| Izumi | What? Okay. |
| Please excuse me. | |
| Itaru | Oh, so you’ve arrived. Then, here. Please bring these to the chemistry preparation room before the next lesson starts. |
| Izumi | (Ehhhh!? It’s an amazing number of handouts though……!) |
| Um, why me…… | |
| Itaru | Hm? I thought that I’d be able to use you since you seemed to get along well with people. |
| Izumi | (You’re lying right……!? I thought that he was a kind and gentle person but to think that he had a double face) |
| Itaru | Ahh, rest assured. I won’t say that it’s for free. |
| ……Do think about what you want for your reward, okay? | |
| Izumi | (……! What a teacher he is……) |
| Uu, it’s as heavy as I thought in the end. But I still have to carry it anyway……wait, huh? Where’s the Chemistry Preparation room anyway? | |
| Taskuku | Oi Freshmen, are you alright? Here, pass them over. Where were you going to carry it to? |
| Oh, I’m pretty sure that these people were at the entrance ceremony earlier……Physical Education’s Tasuku-sensei and the one in charge of Japanese, Tsukioka-sensei. | |
| Izumi | I was supposed to carry it to the chemistry preparation room but I don’t know where it is. |
| Tsumugi | It’s over there. I’ll guide you there. |
| Izumi | Thank you very much. |
| Tsumugi | The chemistry preparation room……which means that you were forced into this by Chigasaki-sensei? |
| Izumi | Oh, err…… |
| Taskuku | That guy……honestly. |
| Tsumugi | But Chigasaki-sensei very rarely asks people of things, doesn’t he? I wonder if he’s interested in you? |
| Izumi | Is that so? |
| Taskuku | I bet he just made good use of you. |
| If there’s anything troubling that happens again, don’t hesitate to rely on us. I can’t let someone like you be in the face of danger. | |
| Tsumugi | Oh, of course, |
| I’m looking forward to speaking about various things with you. | |
| Izumi | Thank you very much! |
| (Hmm, though there are really nice teachers unlike Chigasaki-sensei, this school really does have lots of handsome guys……) | |
| Now then, all lessons today have already been concluded! I guess I should return home soon. | |
| ??? | ……We finally meet. |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Masumi | I’ve been searching for you since forever through the space-time. From your past past past past past past lifetime. |
| Izumi | Huh!? I-I don’t really get what you’re saying—— |
| Masumi | This Magatama……you should have the other half of it. |
| Izumi | A violet coloured magatama? No, I don’t have a magatama or anything. |
| Masumi | You definitely have it. You just forgot. |
| Izumi | Even if you say that, I really…… |
| Masumi | You definitely have it……let me search. |
| Izumi | E-Even if you grab my clothes……! Hey, w-wait a minute……! |
| ??? | I don’t really agree to doing things forcefully. |
| Izumi | ! |
| Masumi | ……Who are you. |
| Azuma | I’m the newly appointed school doctor who arrived today. Nice to meet you. Since I’m a teacher above all else, I can’t overlook a scene like this. |
| Masumi | ……Tch. A disturbance has arrived. |
| I won’t give up. You and me are both bound together by fate……I’ll definitely restore your memory. | |
| Azuma | I don’t want to break him up with a wonderful girl like you but it’s not exactly good to be aggressive. |
| Izumi | T-Thank you very much, Sensei. |
| Azuma | You’re welcome. Hehe, if anything troubling happens, feel free to pop by the infirmary? I’ll leave a bed open for you. |
| Izumi | ……! Y-Yeah, I’ll call on you when I feel unwell. |
| Haa……Today seems like a really busy day with things occurring all over the place. | |
| Juza | Hey you. |
| Izumi | Heh!? M-Me!? |
| Juza | It’s not like I want to frighten you or anything…… |
| Taichi | That’s right! We came to check things out since we heard that a reaaaaally cute freshmen had enrolled in! |
| Tenma | Oi, rather than going to that school without a single star in there, don’t you want to have a scandalous love together with genius actor in O High? |
| Come to O high. If it’s me, I’ll let you experience a love more heart throbbing that what you see in dramas you know? Tachibana Izumi. | |
| Taichi | Ten-chan, that’s mean! What are you going on about all by yourself! We want to strike her up on a date too……! |
| Izumi-chan! Um…… Don’t we have a chance……At all? | |
| Banri | Oi, Oi don’t go getting all gloomy before anything’s done. |
| Everything in this school, everyone who enters it is my property! That includes the cute freshmen over there! | |
| Juza | Bastard……Don’t joke around. You, no, no one……I’ll definitely not hand her over to anyone. |
| Banri | That’s my line. As if I’ll let you take away something that I’ve finally gotten serious over. |
| Izumi | (E-Ehhh!? They’re fighting!? What should I do, I have to stop them……!) |
| Whoa! What!? | |
| Hisoka | Your life is being targeted……I’ll protect you with my life so……Come together with me. |
| Misumi | You can’t~~~! |
| I’m looking for Triangles in the east~ in the west~ I’m the treasure hunter Misumi! | |
| I’ve finally met my ideal triangle! That’s you! You’re my treasure~! | |
| Hisoka | She’s coming with me. Because she’s an important person to me. |
| Misumi | But I love her too! I de—finitely won’t hand her over! |
| Izumi | (This time, it’s an all-out ability brawl!? What’s even going on here anymore!?) |
| Citron | Ye—s! I’m an alien who came from the star, Toron! Humans are very interesting! |
| Izumi | Alien!? |
| Citron | Moreover, you suit my tastes! I’ll bring you back to my star so that you can be my bride! |
| Izumi | I’ll be taken by the U-UFO!! Hey, wait a minute……! |
| ??? | ……Over here. |
| Izumi | Eh? Whoa! |
| Isuke | ……Haa, it seems like we’ve somehow managed to escape from there. |
| Izumi | (……! To think that he’d be the one to save me……) |
| Why…… | |
| Isuke | I couldn’t forget about you even while I’m awake or asleep……From the very first moment I laid my eyes on you. |
| Izumi | ……! |
| (Awake or asleep? ……We’ve only just met each other this morning. Does this mean that he slept during class or during lunch break?) | |
| Isuke | Don’t avert your face. Look over here. |
| Izumi | Oh. |
| Isuke | ……That gaze of yours is irresistible. |
| Izumi | (H-His face……His lips are coming closer……) |
| Isuke | I’ll make you MANKAI (bloom)…… |
| Isuke | ……And thus, that was the dream I saw~! How about it? Let’s make out next performance a full-cast School Love Comedy! |
| Izumi | I’ll refrain. |
| Sakyo | Rejected. |
| Itaru | This is terrible. |
| Isuke | Whaat~ Why~!? A School Harem Love Comedy! Isn’t that something that would sell really well!? |
| I’m sure it’s definitely going to be really popular you know~!? | |
| Masumi | The Director and I……Were lovers from our past life…..Is it fate after all? |
| Tsuzuru | Masumi’s saying something troubling again……! Ahh, for crying out loud, this is a real headache…… |
