Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Kazunari	Soooo hot…..
Misumi	Sooo hooooot…
Kazunari	Even the cats aren’t coming to visit when it’s this hooooot…
Misumi	Their paws might get burnt, so they said they’re resting today instead~
Kazunari	Thought so…
Misumi & Kazunari	…(sigh)
Kazunari	Wish there was some way to distract ourselves from this heat.
Misumi	Hm… Like getting soaked?
Kazunari	Oh that’s a good idea! Should we head to the pool then!?
Misumi	Let’s go! I wanna go~!
	Ah, but…
Kazunari	What’s up?
Misumi	I just hung up my swimsuit to dry from the laundry. I don’t think it’s done drying yet…
Kazunari	That so. If that’s the case, what kind of water activities can we do without the need for a swimsuit…
	Ah, I got it! Actually, there’s a certain event that I’ve been curious about!
Misumi	What is it~?
Kazunari	Lemme look it up… Here it is! It’s this one! Whatcha think!?
Misumi	Waah~! This looks really fun!
Kazunari	Doesn’t it! If we go now we might just make it for their entry applications!
Misumi	Let’s do it! Kazu, let’s go go go—!
Kazunari	Off we go~♪
	[thud]
Banri	W-Woah now!!
Misumi & Kazunari	…!
Kazunari	Hey hey, Settsuar, you free?
Misumi	Banri, you free~?
Banri	Huh? I feel like I’m being pressured into something here… Though, sure, I’m doing nothing now.
Kazunari	Alrighty! Then you’re coming with us, Settsuar!
Misumi	We’re going!
Banri	Eh? Hold– Hey! Where are you taking—
Misumi	Hurry! Hurry!
Banri	“Water Survival Game”...?
Kazunari	Uh-huh! It’s a survival game where, instead of air guns, we’ll be using water guns.
Misumi	It looked super fun from the site. Kazu showed it to me!
Official	All participants must wear this hat with a target poi attached on it.
Banri	I see. This poi will serve as a target for the water gun. I get the gist of it.
Kazunari	That’s Settsuar for you, he got it so fast!
Official	Please take a look at this paper for the other rules about the game.
Misumi	It’s a team battle! Kazu, Banri, let’s do well~
Banri	The other rules say… If your poi breaks, you’re out. The play area is only within the park. And if there’s one person left standing in the team, it’s fair game.
Kazunari	Ohhh this is super duper exciting! I’m so in it to win it now!

Kazunari	Hop, hey, take that!
	How do you like my splendid evasion!?
Banri	Looks good. There’s a lot more water being shot around everywhere than I had thought. Should be a piece of cake though.
Kazunari	We got this one in the bag for sure!
Banri	…! Kazunari, look out!
	[splash]
Kazunari	Wah wah!?
	[shoots water]
Participant A	Uwah, we’re finished!
Banri	…Whew, my own poi seems to be safe.
Kazunari	Hot damn! Settsuar you were so cool!!
Banri	We can’t take it easy yet. C’mon, let’s go.
Kazunari	Roger!
Banri	The number of players has cut down quite a bit. Which means these guys left are pretty strong themselves—
Kazunari	Settsuar, behind you!
Banri	Huh?
Participant B	Tch, you noticed me! Guess I’ll have to…
Kazunari	Huh, on me!?
Banri	Like I’d let you!
	[shoots water]
Participant B	Ack—
	[splash] [splash] [running]
Banri	Running, is he?
Kazunari	Looks like… But, Settsuar, your poi got broken.
Banri	Aaah, guess there’s no helping that.
Kazunari	I’m sorry! You even came to protect me twice in a row, too.
Banri	‘S all good, as long as you’re still in the game.
	As long as we got one member living, we still got this. I’ll leave the rest to you.
Kazunari	Yeah, I’ll do my best!
Kazunari	Ah, it’s the guy from before!
Participant B	Eh?
Kazunari	This one’s for Settsuar!!
	(shoots water)
Participant B	Guh!
Banri	This guy’s good…
Kazunari	Here!
Banri	Oh, but Kazunari’s senses are just as good too.
Kazunari	Aw man, I was got. It ended in a draw…
Banri	You did well.
Kazunari	(sigh) I’m no good after all, Settsuar…
Banri	Nah, you fought well even after I fell, y’know.
Kazunari	Hehe, thankies!
	Say, now that I think about it, where’s Sumi?
Banri	Oh yeah… It got so heated as it all started that I didn’t even catch where he went off to…
Announcer	We have our last man standing! The game is set!
Host	Our winning team today… are these three right here!
Misumi	Thank you–!!
Kazunari	To think it was Misumi who came out without a scratch!
Banri	Thinking about it, he really wouldn’t be the type to be had, huh.
Misumi	Ehehe, it was so much fun~
	You two are all wet though, are you guys okay~?
Banri	All good here. Should be dry in no time if we leave it as is.
Kazunari	True true! It’s so hot out today!
	Ah, I know! Why don’t we look through the stalls there while we let the clothes dry?
Misumi	That sounds nice~ let’s go! I’m so hungry after running so much!
Banri	Same here.
Kazunari	We’re home! Today was so much fun—!!
Misumi	Home~!
Azami	…How dare you.
Misumi & Kazunari	Eh?
Azami	Don’t play dumb, you’re all sunburnt! I keep reminding you guys every day that this is an especially crucial time to use sunscreen, didn’t I?!
Misumi	Eh~ But we’re not that burnt though?
Kazunari	I mean, we do look… a little redder, I think?
Azami	That kind of carelessness is going to bring with you in years' time. You should all learn from Banri-san’s example.
Kazunari	Hold the phone, Settsuar you didn’t get burnt one bit!?
Banri	This guy’s reminders were so drilled into my head that I made sure to properly apply sunscreen myself.
Azami	I probably have been too noisy about it, but since you did remember I’ll praise you for that.
	As for Kazunari-san and Misumi-san, I’m not going to let you guys off— You two will be doing each and every part of the skincare routine as I say it from today onwards.
Misumi	Each one~?
Azami	First off, it’s important that you cool yourselves off. However, applying water directly is a no-go. Cooling sheets are also forbidden. Afterwards, you have this and that and———
Kazunari	That many steps?!
Azami	No complaints. I’m keeping my eyes on guys until you do every single thing.
Misumi & Kazunari	Ehhh!
