Backstage StoriesJuza | ... |
Chikage | Reading a book, are you? |
Juza | Yeah. |
Chikage | Ah, is it a translated version of Sherlock Holmes? That’s a great read. |
Juza | Yeah. I’m reading up so I can support you in our next play. |
Chikage | How reliable. By the way, which story are you reading right now? |
Juza | This one’s “The Adventure of the Empty House”, it’s the one where Colonel Moran is introduced. |
But... | |
Chikage | But? |
Juza | I’m not really sure what’s going on... |
It gets really confusing… And sometimes I don’t even know what I’m reading... | |
Chikage | Haha, so that’s what’s going on. |
It’s fine, the wording in these old detective novels is truly difficult to understand if you’re not used to reading it. | |
Juza | ... |
Chikage | Well… If reading the novels is a challenge now, why not read the character profiles then come back to the books? |
If you read the profiles first, you’ll have a better understanding of them before going into the novels, making it easier to understand, despite the strange wording. | |
Juza | You’re right… |
Chikage | And about Colonel Moran, he was a soldier with a sharp eye, being a sniper and all. Perhaps a good start for role building would be to think about that. |
With that in mind, you can read the book again and get a better understanding of him. | |
Juza | Thanks, I’ll give it a try. |
Since Moran’s a sniper and all, will you ask Itaru-san about that game again? | |
Chikage | No way. |
Juza | ? |
Chikage | He’s holed up focusing on some new game that he just got. If we disturb him at all, we’ll surely regret it. |
Juza | ...That so. |
Kumon | Ah, Niichan! |
Juza | Kumon. |
Kumon | So you’re reading Holmes too! |
Juza | Yeah, but I couldn’t really figure it out so I had to ask Chikage-san for help. |
He said Moran was a sniper, so I thought I’d figure out my role from there… | |
Kumon | I see... Huh... |
Ah! I've got an idea! | |
Juza | Idea? |
Kumon | Yeah! I’ve gotta set it up for tomorrow though, so see ya! |
Juza | Kumon... What exactly is he planning? |
Chikage | Energetic as always. Looks like whatever he’s planning will be interesting. |
Kumon | Tada!! Rubber band guns! |
Juza | I see, so these are just like real ones? |
Kumon | Well, no… They’re rubber bands instead of bullets, but I thought they would be close enough for your role building, maybe…. |
Juza | It'll work. |
Kumon | Yaaay! |
Alright, so which one do you wanna use?! The shapes and lengths are all different, so pick your favorite! | |
Juza | !? Wait a second… There’s so many, were they all made by you? |
Kumon | Yep! Kazu-san taught me how to make them! Just because I’m making them for Niichan!! |
Juza | Ah... Thanks |
Kumon | Ah! You missed again! |
Juza | These rubber band guns are surprisingly difficult…. I can’t hit anything. |
Hisoka | ...What are you two doing? |
Kumon | Huh, Hisoka-san!? |
Juza | I’m practicing shooting as a way of role building for the upcoming performance. |
Hisoka | This is a gun? |
Kumon | Yeah! Do you wanna try, Hisoka-san? |
Hisoka | ...How? |
Kumon | You stick a rubber band in here and pull on it, and when you release it, it’ll go flying! |
Hisoka | ...Ok. |
(Hisoka shoots the rubber band gun) | |
Juza | ! A perfect shot…! |
Kumon | Hisoka-san is amazing! |
Izumi | Looks like something fun’s going on over here. |
Kumon | Ah, welcome home director~! |
Izumi | What are you guys doing? |
Hisoka | Rubber band gun. Juza’s role building with them. |
Izumi | Wow, how nostalgic…! |
Kumon | Director, do you wanna try? |
Izumi | Alright, there we go… Just aim and… |
--! | |
Hisoka | ….Perfect. |
Kumon | Awesome! |
Izumi | Fufufu, I’m really good at this kind of thing. |
Juza | Director, if you have any tips or tricks, please let me know. |
Izumi | Of course! First off, when aiming, squint and envision your rubber band hitting the targer-- |
Kumon | Alright, I’ll aim for this next one… Oh, yay!! |
Hehe, I guess I really am getting better! | |
Juza | I’m starting to hit a lot too. |
Hisoka | ... There. |
Izumi | Wow, Hisoka sure is hitting a lot! |
Since you’re all getting better, maybe we should try continuous shooting? LIke you put rubber here and-- | |
Banri | You guys are doing rubber band guns out here? Those things are super noisy, but super nostalgic. |
Izumi | Oh, Banri-kun. This is all part of Juza-kun’s role building for the upcoming performance. |
Juza | … Damn. I missed. |
Banri | Pfft, you can’t even hit the target even if you’re that close. Looks like the daikon actor is a daikon shooter too. |
Kumon | What was that!? |
Niichan just started shooting! Of course he’s gonna be close to the target! | |
Banri | Not that close... |
Juza | Shut the hell up. This is my role, let me do my thing. |
Banri | Well you’re not doing a good job. Do you think Colonel Moran would really be that close to his targets while shooting them? |
Juza | ...Shut up and get outta my way. |
(Juza shoots Banri) | |
Banri | Uwah?! |
You’re fuckin’ crazy! Since when are you the kinda guy that shoots at people!? | |
Juza | Here. |
Banri | Quit doing that! It’s dangerous! |
Juza | I’m just aiming at your feet. |
Banri | That’s still shooting someone! |
(Juza keeps shooting Banri) | |
Banri | You just.. Keep shooting more!! |
Izumi | Looks like Juza-kun’s getting a lot of help from Banri-kun with his shooting… |
Hisoka | Juza’s building his role alright… |
Kumon | As expected, Niichan is the coolest! |
Izumi | Ahaha... |
