A Clumsy Delinquent

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	I-It's heavy… both my hands are full so if I were to fall right now it would be a disaster.
	(I planned to only shop for a little, but because of the huge amount of tea leaves Homare-san has requested…)
Juza	Director?
Izumi	Ah, Juza-kun.
Juza	…what's with this crazy baggage. You're buying too much aren't you.
Izumi	Ahaha… I was asked to buy all kind of things.
Juza	Huh… give it here.
Izumi	Eh, I can hold them! They're light after all.
Juza	's fine, give it.
Izumi	T-Thank you…
Juza	Were you planning on carrying them alone all the way to the dorms.
Izumi	Well, it's not an impossible task.
Juza	No, it is actually.
	If he asked you to buy this much, you should've asked Homare-san to help you with the bags right.
Izumi	Eh? How did you know Homare-san was the one who asked it from me?
Juza	He's the only one who can ask for such a crazy amount of tea leaves right.
Izumi	You're right… but it looked like Homare-san had a lot of work to do, and I was going shopping anyway so I thought it was fine.
Juza	…huh. Try to think more carefully.
Izumi	Uh… sorry. You're right. Next time I'll be careful.
	(Actually, I am getting help from Juza-kun…)
Juza	……
Izumi	Juza-kun?
Juza	…'s nothing. Let's go.
Homare	Ooh, Director! You are a life saver!
Izumi	Geez, I had a hard time you know! It's a good thing I met Juza-kun halfway back but--.
Homare	You as well Juza-kun, I am grateful you did it for my sake! Aah, the wonderful aroma of tea leaves.
Juza	…no problem.
Homare	I will put these on this shelf! Aah, these go here!
	All of them are supreme tea leaves. I cannot allow the aroma to get away!
Izumi	It's okay to tamper with shelves in the kitchen, but please don't get too wild.
Homare	Of course! I am looking forward to my tea! Just by taking in the scent my inspiration is stirred up!
Izumi	And he isn't listening…
Homare	Oh, Juza-kun. May you please help me with the bags too?
Juza	…'kay.
Homare	Thank you. You can tell too can't you Juza-kun? This sweet fragrant of the rose hip!
Juza	No… I can't tell at all.
Homare	Fufun, then I will provide an explanation for you. Indeed, let us see—
	Hm~ Drown in an ocean of tea leaves, sweet hea~rt. Buried in scent, dead hea~rt.
Juza	Huh?
Izumi	And he started.
Homare	Nestles closer to a fallen tear, attack hea~rt. A graceful tea time… aaah, refresh hea~rt.
	Yes, it is a masterpiece! What are your thoughts Juza-kun. Have you gotten it?
Juza	No, I…
Homare	I see! Perhaps there is a possibility, that you are able to understand my sense of geniusness!
Izumi	Homare-san, Juza-kun is put off.
Homare	How about it, Juza-kun? Someday we should have a relaxed tea time, together with Director too.
Izumi	And he isn't listening again!
Juza	…I'll think about it.
Homare	Hahaha, You should not hold yourself back. If you crave to hear my poems, tell me any day.
	Hmm… hhmmmm…
Izumi	Hm?
Homare	Hmm… aah, how harsh… why is it that God bestows on me such anguishes.
	I wonder, is that what you would call a trial for the genius.
Izumi	(…I'll just ignore him)
Homare	Ah! I know! The circumstances call for lemon herb tea!
	Would you not agree Director!
Izumi	Eh!? Yeah, I guess you're right…
Homare	A night with such a gentle night breeze… right! I shall drink black tea in the garden while bathing in the moonlight!
	Guided by the moonlight, there is no mistake a wonderful insight would come upon me!
Izumi	Right.
Homare	There are tea leaves on the shelf with lemon herb tea written on them. I would be delighted if you bring me the hot tea to the garden.
Izumi	Me!?
Homare	Indeed! I shall be waiting! Hmhm~♪
Izumi	He left…
	Well, seems like he's really busy with work, so I think I'll make tea for him.

Izumi	I wonder where the lemon herb is…
	Can it be in that can? Homare-san, why did you put it in such a high place…!
	Hmm, I wonder if I can reach it if I stand on tiptoes… j-just a bit more…!
Juza	…you tried to reach for this one, right.
Izumi	Juza-kun!?
	(He suddenly talked right behind me so I got startled…!)
Juza	Was it something else?
Izumi	N-No. This is the one I wanted. Thank you.
	(Anyway, he's really close…!)
Juza	…I already told you in the noon but, you should just ask for help if you need it.
Izumi	Eh?
Juza	If you force yourself to get it and it falls on you head, you'll get hurt. Take care of yourself.
Izumi	Uh… sorry. You're right.
	(Juza-kun is way more reliable than me…)
Juza	……
Izumi	Juza-kun?
Juza	…my bad.
Izumi	Eh? Why are you apologizing?
Juza	No… it's not like I wanted to scare you Director.
	Sorry for calling you out on every single thing.
Izumi	No no, it's not like I was scared of you Juza-kun! I just thought that even though you're younger than me you're more dependable.
	And also, everything you said is correct Juza-kun. That's why, is it fine if next time I call you?
Juza	--.
	…I see. So, you're not afraid of me.
Izumi	Yeah. I've never thought of you as scary Juza-kun.
Juza	…from now on, you can depend on me.
CHOICE 1: You're so kind [+] Izumi Juza-kun, as I thought you're really kind. Juza …Muku and you, are the only ones who say that.
CHOICE 2: I'll be counting on you [+] Izumi Yeah. Since you suggested, I'm going to depend on you okay? Juza …'kay.
Kazunari	Hm? Director-chan, going somewhere?
Izumi	Yeah, I'm going shopping.
Homare	In that case I would like you to buy a few types of tea leaves for me.
Azuma	If possible, can I ask for black tea as well?
Taichi	I got hungry, so I want you to buy takoyaki for me~!
Misumi	I want, triangular onigiri~. Lunch, wasn't enough for me~.
Izumi	With this many things to buy, I won't be able to carry them alone! Geez… ah, I know.
	Juza-kun! Can you help me with the shopping?
Juza	…'kay.
Banri	Huh?
Izumi	Thanks. Then, let's go.
Juza	…yeah.
Taichi	J-Juza-san is so honest…!
Kazunari	Director-chan, when did you get so friendly with Hyodol!?
Izumi	I'm not telling selfish people like you. Then, we're going!
Kazunari	N-No way…! Director-chan!!
Banri	Hyodo isn't acting like himself…
Taichi	Alright! I'm curious, so I'll tag along as another helper!
Kazunari	Ah, wait Taicchan! Me too me too!
Banri	…I'll go too.
Homare	Hm, it seems like the shopping is going to be lively.
Azuma	Or rather, for Director, isn't it the same as going for a walk with some beasts?
Homare	A walk with the beasts… what an inspiring expression.
Azuma	Fufu. Being young, looks so fun it's making me jealous.
