Chalk Throw, the Final Form

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Citron	I’m looking forward to the next mixed play~!
	The practice is going well, isn’t it?
Itaru	Yeah, kind of.
Muku	Itaru-san is playing the role of a Modern Japanese teacher, isn’t he?
Itaru	That’s right.
Sakuya	Itaru-san is good at tutoring. I think he’s very suitable for his role as a teacher.
Muku	Itaru-san as a teacher… He’s definitely going to be popular if we were in a shoujo manga world!
Kazunari	Having a two-faced protag in shoujo manga’s gonna be a sure hit!
Chikage	Guess that’s what you call a “gap”.
Citron	However, Itaru’s penmanship looks like chicken scratches~
Azami	Penmanship, huh…Well if you’re a Modern Japanese teacher, guess it’s also important to be able to write legible characters on the board or somethin’.
Chikage	Why don’t you try to practice penmanship by taking a correspondence course?
Kazunari	How ‘bout studying kanji drills again from scratch!
Sakuya	Kanji drills…Somehow it feels nostalgic!
Citron	Have Sakoda teach you!
	I learned a lot from him!
Azami	Yeah, Ken-san is skilled with calligraphy after all.
Itaru	I can get by even if my penmanship is sloppy.
	I mostly type characters on my PC anyway.
	Writing neatly may be important but since I am playing as a teacher–
	I personally want to throw chalk.
Azami	You read too much manga.
Muku	Throwing chalk…
	It somehow feels like a teacher’s whip of love!
Kazunari	But Itaroon, aren’t you bad at hitting targets?
Itaru	Eh–, I don’t think so.
	I can nail high scores on FPS games on arcade, you know.
Citron	No, no, it’s nothing like shooting at all!
Chikage	Then how about practicing with darts first?
	The method of hitting a target with a dart and chalk is almost the same.
Itaru	I see. Darts, huh….
Izumi	I’m back–
	*fwoosh*
Izumi	!? T-that surprised me!
Itaru	Ah, sorry, sorry.
	Welcome back Director-san.
Izumi	What are you doing?
Chikage	It’s a chalk throwing course.

Izumi	Chalk throwing course?
Itaru	I am playing a teacher on the upcoming mixed performance, right?
Chikage	Since he’s going to play a teacher, he wants to experience throwing chalk.
Hisoka	I’m teaching him to aim at a target using darts.
Izumi	I…I see?
Hisoka	Itaru, try it one more time.
Itaru	K.
	—.
Hisoka	That’s no good. One more time.
Itaru	……Hah!
Hisoka	It’s completely off the center.
Izumi	How should I put it…
	Itaru-san’s form is kinda strange.
	He looks like a pitcher, doesn’t he?
Hisoka	Put more strength in your body.
	Straighten up your back.
Itaru	Hisoka is surprisingly strict…
Hisoka	You’re the one who said you wanted to master chalk throwing.
	…Don’t you dare forget about my marshmallows.
Itaru	Y-yes.
Hisoka	If you understand, try hitting the blue area again.
Itaru	Here I go……
Itaru	Ah, I hit it.
Chikage	Once it is.
Itaru	I feel like I’ve leveled up.
	Alright, I perfected chalk throwing.
Hisoka	Your ability to be confident with just one hit is amazing.
Izumi	It’s almost time for shopping.
	…Hm?
	What’s this white stuff in the hallway…
	Chalk? But it’s soft and fluffy.
???	Oraoraora~!
Izumi	?
Kumon	Eat this!
Itaru	Pfhm, not even close!
Izumi	What are you doing, you two!?
Kumon	Director!
	We’re doin’ a handmade chalk throwing tournament!
Itaru	There are a lot of packing materials from the game that was delivered yesterday so we tried making handmade chalk.
	And then—
	Did you do your homework, Kumon!
	Hah!
Kumon	Whoops!
	Hehe, take my revenge!
Tenma	Uwah!? The hell is this?
Kazunari	Man, packing materials are scattered everywhere~!
Chikage	The hallway is filled with trash.
Kumon	Killer Technique: Chalk Arrow!
Itaru	Weakling! Come oh sweet light of judgment!
Chikage	Oops.
Tenma	Oi! Stop hitting me!
Izumi	Enough of chalk throwing, you two!
