Pendulum Guidance
Backstage Stories| Kumon | Thanks for coming along to the corner candy shop with me, guys! |
| Yuki | If you were that overly excited to eat candy, then we had no choice but to go with you, you know? |
| Azami | What he said. |
| Muku | But it’s always exciting to come to the corner candy store, isn’t it? |
| Azami | Yeah, they sell black candies. |
| Muku | They also have ring chocolates! |
| Kumon | Ahh! |
| Yuki | What is it this time? |
| Kumon | It’s a Tigers raffle! |
| Yuki | The Tigers are your favourite baseball team, right? |
| Kumon | Yeah, yeah! |
| I knew this launched last week. But I couldn't find any store nearby that was doing it, so I gave up. | |
| Candy shop owner | You’re in luck. This just came in today. |
| Kumon | Yay! Then I’ll give it a try! |
| Candy shop owner | Choose a number you’d like between 1 and 30. |
| Prize A is a pin badge set of their past uniforms. | |
| Kumon | I gotta have that! |
| Candy shop owner | There’s only two Prize A’s, so good luck. |
| Kumon | Yep! |
| Gotta get it, gotta get it, gotta get it… | |
| Muku | You can do it, Kyu-chan! |
| Kumon | …Alright! I'll choose 9, the same as my name! |
| Candy shop owner | Number 9, hm? Ok, here you go. |
| Kumon | Ughh, my heart’s pounding… |
| Yuki | What’d you get? |
| Kumon | THIS IS——…! |
| …I’m home. | |
| Izumi | Welcome back~. |
| Kumon | … |
| Izumi | What’s wrong, Kumon-kun? |
| You look kind of down… | |
| Muku | He tried a Tigers raffle at the candy store, but he only got two Prize C’s and a Prize F… |
| Kumon | They’re my fave baseball team, so I’m happy with them. But, man, I really wanted Prize A~. |
| Itaru | You’re too OP to be able to stop after 3 tries. |
| You should be proud of your mental strength. | |
| Kumon | I remembered how Itaru-san mentioned the "greed sensor" a lot, so I held back. |
| Izumi | (I don’t know whether that’s good or bad for his education…) |
| TV sound | “—Now then, here’s today’s hot news!” |
| “In America, the winner of a lottery draw worth one billion yen in the United States has appeared!” | |
| Azami | One billion is amazin’. |
| Muku | How dreamy! |
| Izumi | That sounds just like the American dream, huh! |
| TV sound | “The winner used an astonishing method to determine the winning numbers. And that method was… dowsing fortune-telling!” |
| Yuki | Dowsing fortune-telling? |
| Itaru | It’s a type of fortune-telling where you hang a string with a stone or some other weight attached to it. And the direction or way the weight moves predicts the result. |
| You ask a question in your subconsciousness and it finds what you’re asking or looking for, or derives a yes or no answer. | |
| Kumon | …! |
| That’s it!! |
| *knock, knock* | |
| Banri | Come in. |
| *door opens* | |
| Kumon | … |
| Banri | Kumon? If you’re lookin’ for your bro, he’s in the bath. |
| Kumon | I need something from you, Banri, not nii-chan. |
| Banri | Me? |
| Kumon | Banri, do you have a pendulum!? |
| Banri | Ha? |
| Kumon | It's a chain with a stone attached to it, like it shows here in this video! |
| Banri | Is this… dowsing fortune-telling? |
| Why do you need somethin’ like that all of a sudden… | |
| Kumon | You see, I wanna do a dowsing reading to win Prize A in a raffle, but I don't own a pendulum. |
| Banri | …I don’t really get it, but can’t you just use a regular necklace for that? |
| Kumon | That won’t work! |
| It’d suck and be so uncool if it doesn't predict properly! | |
| Banri | Coolness has nothin’ to do with this though. |
| Anyways, I own necklaces with stones attached to them. But I don’t have a pendulum. | |
| Kumon | I guess nobody has one, huh? |
| Banri | It’s normal not to have one, y’know? |
| *door opens* | |
| Kumon | Ah, nii-chan. |
| Juza | …What’s up, Kumon? |
| Kumon | You don’t have a pendulum, do you? |
| Like this type of thing… | |
| Juza | …Didn’t you have one? |
| Kumon | Eh? Me…? |
| Juza | Those black chains with the green stone… |
| Kumon | …AH! |
| Sorry for the wait! | |
| Muku | Did you find it? |
| Kumon | Yep! |
| Lookie here! | |
| Muku | Wahh, that’s so cool! |
| Yuki | Why do you have something like that? |
| Kumon | I saw a manga character using one as a weapon a long time ago and thought it looked super cool. |
| So then I bought one just like it with my New Year's money. | |
| But I didn’t really get how to use it, so in the end, I left it in a drawer in my room and forgot about it. | |
| Muku | I can’t believe Ju-chan remembered it. |
| Kumon | Ehehe, that’s nii-chan for you! |
| Yuki | Alright, enough with the bro-con. Hurry up and pull one already. |
| It doesn’t look like they have many tickets left. | |
| Kumon | Oh, you’re right! There’s only, like, half the amount left from when we came last time! |
| Azami | Heh, it’s pretty popular, huh? |
| Kumon | What should I do? They said there’s only two Prize A’s, so if they’ve already been drawn… |
| Candy store owner | If you want Prize A, there’s still one left so there’s no need to worry. |
| Kumon | That’s great! I finally found a pendulum, but I thought they ran out already! |
| Muku | Why don’t you try the dowsing fortune-telling, Kyu-chan? |
| Kumon | O God of Dowsing Fortune-telling, I beseech thee to tell me which number is Prize A…! |
| … | |
| —! | |
| It’s 10! | |
| Yuki | 10… he was conscious of his brother, no matter how you look at it. |
| Azami | I know, right… |
| Kumon | C'mon, win win… |
| IT’S PRIZE A! | |
| Muku | Congrats, Kyu-chan! Good for you!! |
| Kumon | Thanks, nii-chan! |
| Gee, dowsing fortune-telling’s awesome! | |
| Azami | I don’t think that was the power of fortune-tellin’ though… |
| Yuki | Bro-con power is incredible. |
