Backstage Stories| Banri | Ahh, I'm so tired... |
| Juza | ... |
| Banri | Ugh... |
| (That guy's been studying seriously at his desk... It's so damn creepy. He's even putting on his glasses carefully.) | |
| Juza | ... |
| Banri | (There doesn't seem to be an exam coming up nor a report assignment, but what is it?) |
| (But rare reference books are stacked up on each other...) | |
| ...Oi, what are you doing? | |
| Juza | Ah? Can't you see? I'm doing role study. |
| Banri | Ha? |
| Juza | Role study. |
| Banri | No, I know it's role study... |
| I hear you, more or less, but do you even understand that thick reference book? | |
| Juza | ... |
| Banri | Thought so. |
| You can't understand the content even if you study seriously. You wouldn't even get the meaning. Rather, it'd take you a hundred years to understand with that stupid head of yours. | |
| Juza | Aa? I'm playing someone who's smart, so it's natural I'd study. |
| Banri | Nothing smart enters that brains of yours. |
| Juza | What'd you just say...! |
| Sakyo | Oi, its almost time for dinner-- |
| Juza | People are practicing, so don't fuck them up from the sidelines! |
| Banri | I'm teaching you nicely, you bastard! |
| Juza | Ah? Then where is it! |
| Sakyo | Both of you shut up! Don't cause a racket with your loud bickering! |
| Banri & Juza | ! |
| Sakyo | Now stop quarreling and come and eat quickly. |
| Banri | ... |
| Juza | ...Okay. |
| Taichi | Thanks for the meal! |
| Tenma | Thank you for the meal. |
| Tsuzuru | ...Juza ...Juza! |
| Juza | ! |
| My bad, I spaced out... | |
| Tsuzuru | Are you alright? |
| Tenma | You spoke less today, too... Did something happen at practice? |
| Juza | No, practice is fine. It's just-- |
| I'm just a little worried about the role study. | |
| Tsuzuru | Role study? |
| Juza | I've been working on my role study seriously, but then Settsu said I wouldn't even be able to see the end of it. |
| At the time, I said something back but... Looking back on it, I thought he had a point. | |
| Tsuzuru | I see... Well it is very like you. |
| Taichi | Juza-san's really serious. |
| Tenma | Well, I don’t think role study is useless, but it’s true that efficiency is important. |
| Tsuzuru | That’s right… I think the image of someone smart should have a lighter feel to them. |
| Juza | Something light, huh... |
| Light... | |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, that’s right. Maybe there’s someone who can help. |
| Hey Juza. Your 4th period for the day just ended, right? Do you have any plans after? | |
| Juza | I’ve nothing in particular to do today. |
| Tsuzuru | Okay. Then, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave it open after that. I’ll get in touch with you later for more details. |
| Juza | ? |
| Okay. |
| Juza | This place is... |
| Tsuzuru | It’s Yosei University’s Quiz Research Department’s clubroom. There's someone I know who’s pretty active here. |
| ??? | Oh, Tsuzuru-kun! And next to you is, the junior you were talking about? |
| Tsuzuru | Sorry it’s so sudden. And yes, he’s an actor in our theater troupe. |
| Juza | I'm Juza Hyodo |
| Kusui | I’m Kusui. Nice to meet you. |
| Juza | Likewise. |
| Kusui | In this quiz research department, we devote all our time into quiz researching. Everyone here loves quizzes. |
| Tsuzuru | He also appears in TV shows sometimes. |
| Juza | ..! You’ve been on TV? |
| Kusui | No not really, that was just on local TV, and it just so happened. |
| But it also helps with making the role. | |
| Juza | I see. |
| Kusui | Then, why don’t we practice with the standard quick-press quiz? |
| The strategy for this quiz is to guess the answer by predicting it from the first part of the sentence problem. | |
| Juza | I see… It’s sort of like ad-libbing. |
| Tsuzuru | Well, it’s true that there are some similarities. |
| Juza | I want to try it. |
| Kusui | Alright, then let’s get started at once. |
| Izumi | Hm? There seems to be a lot of people in the courtyard. |
| What are you guys doing? | |
| Banri | Hyodo’s gonna show the result of his role study. |
| Izumi | ? The result of...his role study? |
| Tsuzuru | Are the preparations done? |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Tenma | I'm also okay. |
| Taichi | I'm ready! |
| Omi | Juza’s in the quiz research club at Yosei University to help with his role study. It looks like he received some special training there. |
| Banri | Right now, Tsuzuru’s gonna ask some questions from the problem set and then Hyodo, Tenma, and Taichi’s gonna answer them. |
| Izumi | Oh! I see! |
| Huh, I never knew Juza needed glasses... Has he been wearing contacts this entire time? | |
| Omi | Oh, no, they're fake glasses. He's just wearing them for his role study. |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Tsuzuru | Well, from this point on, we shall start the quick-push quiz tournament here in the dorms. |
| Question #1! Mendel discovered-- | |
| Tenma & Taichi | !? |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, Juza that was fast. Then, please tell us the answer! |
| Juza | ... |
| Izumi | (He already knew the answer and pressed the button right away. Knowing the answer by that alone is amazing.) |
| Juza | ... Sorry, I don’t understand that question. |
| Izumi | Eh. |
| Banri | Hah? |
| Tsuzuru | Juza might’ve pressed the button accidentally. Then, onto the next problem. |
| Question #2. He was known as the piano poet-- | |
| Tenma | Wha... |
| Taichi | Juza-san's really fast! |
| Tsuzuru | We have Juza again huh. Please tell us the answer! |
| Juza | ... |
| Juza | My bad, I don’t understand… |
| Banri | You bastard, stop fucking around. |
| Juza | Shut up. |
| Tsuzuru | Umm..he’s pulled himself together-- |
| Question 3! In New Zealand-- | |
| Juza, if you please! | |
| Juza | ... |
| Banri | Don't tell me... |
| Juza | ...I don’t understand |
| Banri | I knew it!! |
| Izumi | Umm, this is... |
| Perhaps instead of honing his knowledge... Maybe he got trained to press the button as quickly as possible... | |
| Tsuzuru | You're right about that... |
