Backstage Stories

Part 1

Kumon	Hmmm…
Banri	You’ve been glarin’ at your phone for a while now.
Sakuya	Are you searching for something, Kumon-kun?
Kumon	Actually… to prepare for our roles for Summer troupe's play, we’re supposed to propose.
	So I’ve been looking up various stuff in order to come up with how I’d propose if it was up to me…
Masumi	Propose…?
Kumon	If it was Masumi-san, how would you propose to Director!?
Masumi	Just a single phrase isn’t enough to express my feelings for her.
	First, I’ll write my feelings down in a letter…
Banri	I mean, haven’t you sorta proposed several times already?
Kumon	A letter, huh~… Even when I search, there’s loads of stuff written so I have no idea which one I should refer to~.
Sakuya	Really?
Kumon	Yeah! Take this for example!
Banri	“A Special Feature on the Ideal Proposal”?
Sakuya	At a location where you can see the pretty night view…
	Hand a bouquet over in a refreshing park…
Kumon	At the beach of a resort or at a fireworks show…
Sakuya	That’s amazing… there’s really lots different of ideas, huh?
Masumi	If it’s for her, no matter what kind of proposal it is, I’ll…
Banri	We get it, dude.
Masumi	…Kumon, send that site’s URL to me over LIME later.
Banri	You’re legit gonna use it as reference, aren’t you?
Kumon	Mmm~…
Friend A	Kumon? What’s with the frown?
	Is something bothering you?
Kumon	Hey, hey, what do you think’s a good way to propose!?
Friend A	Hahh? Propose?
Friend B	What’s with that all of a sudden?
Kumon	It’s fine, it’s fine!
Friend C	Even so…
	I’ve never thought about proposing ‘n stuff before…
Friend A	Yeah, right~.
Friend B	Ah! But that reminds me…
Kumon	Eh, what, what?
Friend B	Ah no, it’s just something I happened to hear some girls talking about earlier, but—.
Kazunari	Alright, I guess last is Kumopi!
Kumon	Yep!
Izumi	Then please go ahead, Kumon-kun.
Kumon	“The food here is really tasty, right!”
	“It was recommended to me by a friend.
	I wanted to come here with you~.”
	“Oh right, that reminds me! The other day—”
Yuki	Proposing at a high-class restaurant is a classic…
	But this doesn’t really feel like a proposal, does it?
Muku	I wonder if it’ll lead to a proposal from here…?
Kumon	“Hah~, that tasted great! I enjoyed the meal!”
	“Alright, let’s get married!”
Yuki	Hah?
Izumi	With this timing!?
Misumi	That’s a surprise~!
Tenma	That’s way too sudden!
Kumon	The girls in my class were saying they'd like to be asked with a casual timing. I heard about it from a friend~!
Muku	Is that so…?
Izumi	High school students these days sure are mature…
Yuki	Anyways, what you did was way too abrupt, you know?
Kazunari	It might be like the opposite of a surprise... in a way!?
