Backstage Stories
| Kumon | Ah, Director, you were here! |
| Nii-chan and I are going back home today so we won’t need dinner! | |
| Izumi | Got it. |
| But you guys are going back so suddenly—did something happen? | |
| Kumon | Nope, our mom made some Valentine’s sweets so she said she wants us to go pick them up! |
| Izumi | Oh, that’s how it is. |
| Juza | Let’s get going, Kumon. |
| Kumon | Ah, wait for me, Nii-chan! |
| Izumi | Have a nice trip, and stay safe. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Kumon | We’re offff! |
| I’m glad mom and dad both seem like they’re doing well as always! | |
| Juza | The food also tasted good as usual. |
| Kumon | Yeah, yeah! |
| I was happy we had braised pork~! | |
| Even so… | |
| I never thought there'd be this many sweets. | |
| Juza | There were more than I thought. |
| Kumon | We were told to eat them together with everyone from the Theatre troupe, but it seems possible for each person to have 3 each, right? |
| Juza | Even then, there might be extras. |
| Well, I’ll eat any leftovers. | |
| Kumon | Sounds good! |
| Then let’s hand them out right away when we get back! | |
| We’re home! | |
| Juza | Hey. |
| Izumi | Welcome back. |
| You two sure have a lot of bags…! | |
| Kumon | Hehe, all of these are our mom’s handmade sweets! |
| Izumi | Ehh, your mom made all of them!? |
| That’s amazing… | |
| Kumon | Yeah, I was surprised too! |
| Ok, here, I’m giving 3 to Director too. | |
| Izumi | Thank you. |
| But is it alright if I take this many? | |
| Kumon | We have so many we’ll probably have extras, so it’s fine! |
| Izumi | In that case, I’ll go ahead and take them. |
| They all look so tasty…! | |
| Juza | This pastry is real good. |
| Izumi | Oh, I see. |
| I can’t wait to eat it! | |
| (Afterwards, I’ll give their parents’ home a call to thank them.) | |
| Kumon | Alright, we’re gonna distribute these to everyone else too. |
| Starting from room 101 first! Let’s go, Nii-chan! | |
| Juza | Right. |
| *knock, knock* | |
| Sakuya | Come in! |
| Kumon | Good evening, Sakuya-san, Citron-san. |
| …Ah, Guy-san is here too! | |
| Citron | Welcome! |
| Guy | The two of you came together; is something the matter? |
| Kumon | We’re here to hand out Valentine’s sweets! |
| Guy | A Valentine’s day gift to us from the two of you…? |
| Juza | No, they’re from our mom. |
| If you’d like, please eat them. | |
| Citron | Ohh, thank you! |
| I’m so happy! | |
| Sakuya | Thank you, I’ll take them too! |
| Handmade sweets always taste really good, so I’m looking forward to eating them this time too. | |
| Guy | That’s true, they look delicious this time around as well. |
| I will take them gratefully. | |
| Kumon | By the way, what were you three talking about? |
| Sakuya | We were talking about fishing and Valentine’s day in Zafra. |
| Kumon | Valentine’s day in Zafra? |
| Is it different from Japan? |
| Citron | Valentine’s day in Zafra is a day where men give women chocolates to express their love or gratitude! |
| Juza | You give reverse chocolate in Zafra, huh? |
| Guy | We have a custom to give flowers along with the chocolate. |
| Kumon | Wow! Men giving flowers for Valentine’s day sounds so cool! |
| Sakuya | I’d love to do that too. |
| Juza | Kumon, we should get goin’ to the other rooms too. |
| Kumon | Oh right! |
| Thanks for telling me about Valentine’s day in Zafra! Sorry for interrupting! | |
| Juza | With this, we went around to all the rooms, right? |
| Kumon | The rest are all ours! I got the ones for Sumi-san and I, so nii-chan, you take the rest. |
| Juza | Got it. |
| Kumon | …By the way, nii-chan. |
| Juza | What’s up? |
| Kumon | I’ve been thinking this the whole time since I heard about Valentine’s in Zafra—. |
| But shouldn’t we give some sorta present to mom for Valentine’s day? | |
| Juza | …Yeah, true. |
| I think mom’ll be happy. | |
| Kumon | Right! |
| Juza | How ‘bout we go buy something tomorrow? |
| Kumon | Yeah! |
| I wonder what would be good for a Valentine’s present for mom? | |
| I definitely wanna give the flowers that Guy-san told us about as a present! | |
| Juza | Yeah, right. |
| Kumon | Ah! How about a handkerchief? |
| Juza | A handkerchief, huh…? |
| That ain’t bad but doesn’t that feel like a Mother’s Day thing? | |
| Kumon | You’re right, it does have that kinda image! |
| Juza | …Since she always makes tasty food and snacks for us, somethin’ that she can use during those times might work. |
| Kumon | Something you can use while doing housework that also feels like a gift… AH! |
| I got it! How does hand cream sound!? | |
| I mean, they say your hands get rough when you wash things. | |
| Juza | I think that’ll be nice. |
| In that case, let’s try askin’ Azami which kind is good. | |
| Kumon | Ah, good idea! |
Kumon  Azami, I wanna give hand cream as a present to my mom, so lemme know if you have any you recommend! |
|
Azami  Then I’d go for moisturizing hand balm. Even though it has high moisturizing power, it’s not sticky |
|
| Kumon | Here’s the answer! |
| Nii-chan, he said moisturizing hand balm! | |
| Juza | That’s Azami for ya. |
| ‘Kay, let’s go buy it right away. | |
| Kumon | Yeah! |
| Juza & Kumon | ……… |
| Juza | So, where do they sell those…? |
| Kumon | If we’re talking hand cream, there’s probably some at the drug store but if it's the one Azami recommends, they might have some in the basement of a department store or a specialty shop…!? |
| Crap, I gotta get him to tell us the place they sell it! | |
| I'll LIME Azami one more time~! | |
