Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Taichi	Ahh-!! It's finally over!
Banri	Huh, so tired.
Omi	As I thought the audience has a different aura, so it's harder than usual. There're many things to learn from that though.
Sakyo	Naturally. If it wasn't harder the practice would've been meaningless.
Izumi	Guys, good job. Go take your time and rest in the hot springs okay.
Azuma	When soaking in the hot springs the skin becomes smooth too after all.
	Director, your skin seems to be in a good condition.
Izumi	Eh, is that so?
Tsumugi	As expected from Azuma-san, you're really observant.
Taichi	A smooth skin is important for guys too right!? Alright, let's go to the hot spring!
Tasuku	So we're all going to enter together again… it's too small.
Tsumugi	There there, it's fine. This too is part of going to a training camp.
Homare	I want to wash my sweat too already, so let's head there quickly.
Juza	…..
Sakyo	Hyodo?
Izumi	Juza-kun, what happened…?
Juza	Eh? Ah, no.
	I was trying to decide between drinking strawberry milk or fruits milk today.
Banri	Again thinking about sweets.
Sakyo	Such worthless worries. If we're going to go then let's do it already.
Omi	Hisoka-san, let's go.
Hisoka	Zzz… coffee milk…
Izumi	Ahaha, have a nice time.
Izumi	--Yes, then this is the schedule for tomorrow.
Hostess	Thank you very much. Well then, if you would excuse me.
Izumi	Yes, good night.
	…woah, it's already this late! I have to take a bath before the bath closes.
Izumi	(There're still lively voices coming from the boys' room. They're being noisy, looks like so much fun.)
	Looks like the practice is tough for them, but I'm happy we came to the training camp.
Izumi	Guys, looks like you're having fun, but we have practice tomorrow too, so hurry up and go to bed.
Taichi	Ah, Director-sensei!
Azuma	Fufu, yee~s. We'll go to bed soon.
Banri	Director-chan, are you the teacher in charge of us.
Omi	Haha, true. You have this feel like you came to check on the room of some high schoolers.
Taichi	So we have 1 more teacher!
Tsumugi	Can it be the other teacher is Sakyo-san?
Sakyo	Who are you calling a teacher, good grief. We're going to bed. Director you too, go to sleep.
Izumi	Oka~y. Good night.
Homare	Good night, Director-kun.

Izumi	Fu… that was a good bath~.
	(Come to think of it, Juza talked about strawberry milk right. Maybe I'll go drink something too.)
Izumi	Let's see… eh, there's only 1 strawberry milk left.
	Lucky me. Then, I'll take it back to my room and…
Juza	…..
Izumi	(Juza-kun? I wonder what happened, where is he going to).
	(But the shop is closed already, and there aren't any stores around here… Or rather, he's looking around restlessly it's a little suspicious…)
	(Hmm, it is really like a teacher on a school trip, but it's better if I try calling out to him)
	Juza-kun.
Juza	-! D-Director.
Izumi	Are you going somewhere?
Juza	No, err…. It's nothing big really.
Izumi	?
Juza	…strawberry milk, I wanted to drink another bottle.
Izumi	Strawberry milk…?
	Pff…. Ahaha!
Juza	Wha-!?
Izumi	My bad!
	It's because I didn't think strawberry milk was your reason. It's so like you Juza-kun.
	But you don't have to be so secretive about it.
Juza	…I, have already drunk one, so I feel bad somehow.
Izumi	You don't have to worry about tha— ah-.
	Right, sorry Juza-kun. This one was the last strawberry milk.
Juza	Eh-.
Izumi	It's alright, since you came just for drinking it, you can have it Juza-kun.
Juza	No, it's okay. I drank one so Director you drink it.
Izumi	You came from your room especially for that right? I can drink tea or something else.
Juza	It's fine. That's yours Director.
Izumi	Jeez, how stubborn. Then, let's split it between us. Is that okay?
Juza	…if Director is okay with it.
Izumi	Of course.
	….yup, it's good! As I thought drinking it after taking a bath is something else.
	--here, take the other half.
Juza	….!
Izumi	You don’t have to hold back.
Juza	….'lright.
	--it's good. Thanks, Director.
Izumi	You're welcome.
Juza	Then, I'm going to sleep. G'night.
Izumi	Yeah. …ah, Juza-kun, your mouth--.
	(He left, without noticing it…)
Tasuku	Ah, there you are. Where did you go to.
	You disappeared suddenly, so I came looking for--.
	!
Juza	S-Sorry. I, I went to feel the night breeze…
Tasuku	…you have some around your mouth, some strawberry milk.
Juza	….!!
