| Yakuza A | Wow! Didn’t think we’d be treated ta such a show before the actual performance huh! |
| Yakuza B | This makes me even more pumped for tonight’s stage! |
| Tsumugi | I’m so glad that everyone seemed to enjoy our etude performance. |
| Citron | With our fun acting, their energy is charged to the max! |
| Sakyo | Show’s only starting. Don’t even think about making any moves that’ll sully the name of the Boss. |
| The Yakuza’s | Hell yeah!!! |
| Muku | E-eep |
| Izumi | W-well, I thought I’d have gotten use to their fervor already, but it does surprise you a bit when they respond with such strong enthusiasm doesn’t it…. |
| Citron | ’Tis the world of the Yakuza! |
| |
| Azami | Seems like the crowd is starting to grow. Our stalls seem to be attracting customers as well. |
| Tsumugi | Let’s all get to our respective stalls, and prepare for the oncoming festival crowd. |
| Sakyo | Just make sure to get to the stage before it’s time to perform. And don’t be a nuisance to the stand owners as well. |
| Muku | Yessir! |
| Izumi | Well, see you guys later |
| Citron | Wishing you all good lump![1] |
| Tasuku | You mean good “luck”, right? |
| |
| Izumi | Now then, I’d best get to business too. Sakyo told me to go and check out the festival as a whole, as well as check up on everyone once in a while. |
| Woah! There’s a stall that’s already picking up quite the crowd… That stall is…. |
| Sakyo | Two packs right? Thanks for the purchase. |
| Izumi | (Who’s stall could it be but Sakyo’s takoyaki stall! If I recall, his stall was also quite popular at last year’s festival in Veludo Way.[2]) |
| (The takoyaki that Sakyo makes are sooo good. I understand the feeling of lining up just to get a taste of them, that’s for sure!) |
| Local Grannie | Hey young lad! Word’s spreading that your takoyaki are quite delicious! |
| Sakyo | Thanks |
| Izumi | Sakyo, thanks for your hard work. Your takoyaki are as popular as ever! |
| Sakyo | Ah, Director. Perfect timing—here, take some for the road. |
| Izumi | Oh! But everyone’s so hard at work, I feel bad just being chill and enjoying the festival…. |
| Sakyo | Don’t worry, those guys are also having fun in their own ways. It’s a festival, so just go on and have fun. |
| Izumi | If you say so… then I’ll take those words to heart, and enjoy my time here. Thank you so much! |
| |
| Citron | Oh! Director! Welcome welcome! |
| Izumi | Citron! You fit the vibes of a mask selling stall! |
| Citron | It’s so wonderfully fun to help out at a festival! Everyone’s buying masks, and having the time of their lives~ |
| And here! One for you too Director! A present from me to you! |
| Izumi | Oh, you sure? |
| Citron | Of course, put this on and have a clast at the festival![3] |
| Izumi | I think you mean, “have a blast”? Thanks though, I’ll take you up on your offer then |
| |
| Muku | Director! Have some piping hot baby castella, fresh out of the skillet![4] |
| Izumi | Woah thank you! It smells quite good… |
| Muku | They’re really fluffy and delicious too! |
| Izumi | ….Oh you’re right, they’re really good! |
| Muku | I’m glad. I’m thinking of buying some for the people who couldn’t come as a souvenir as well |
| Customer | Excuse me, can we have one bag please? |
| Muku | Oh, yes! Welcome! |
| Well then Director, see you later! |
| Izumi | (It makes me happy to see Muku is also giving it his all) |
| Tsumugi | Welcome to our stand, Director. Would you like to try once? It’s on the house. |
| Izumi | You sure you’re in the position to say something like that? |
| Tsumugi | Huh? |
| Izumi | Huhuhu… You know, I’m actually quite good at these target shooting games. |
| Tsumugi | Oh I wasn’t aware! Then, I would love to see your skill first hand, if that’s alright. |
| Izumi | Then without further ado…. Bang. |
| Tsumugi | Impressive! Your prize is this box of caramels. |
| Izumi | Haha! Seems like my skills haven’t dulled one bit. |
| |
| Azami | Oh Director, good work. If you’re here, you might as well have a bite. We don’t have curry flavored syrup, so what’s your second choice? |
| Izumi | Yeah I know there’s no such thing as curry flavored syrup you know……! Hmm… I think I’ll have strawberry flavor then. |
| Azami | ‘Kay |
| Izumi | (If I eat this much, I’m scared of stepping even one foot on the weight scale…) |
| (But they’re all so good, and more importantly, I feel so happy that everyone else is having a good time and working hard… so I just end up eating it all) |
| Local Kid A | Hey big bro! I want strawberry flavored shaved ice! |
| Local Kid B | I want melon! |
| Azami | Ah, strawberry and melon, yeah? …Right, here you go. |
| Local Kid A | Thanks!! Hehe, it looks good! |
| Izumi | The festival crowd only seems to be growing. Glad that the townsfolk all seem to be having a blast as well. |
| Azami | Yeah. It’s quite crowded every year, but this year especially seems to be a popular one. |
| Izumi | Seems like many people will come to see our performance tonight as well. Let’s do our best to make that a success as well! |
| Azami | ……For sure (TL note: he’s smiling here) |
| Local Lady | Excuse me! Can I have some lemon shaved ice? |
| Azami | One lemon, coming right up. |
| Izumi | (While working at their respective stands, everyone seems to be getting along with not only the Ginsenkai folk, but also the towns people as well) |
| (Not only that, but they seem to be having the time of their lives at the festival. Seems like Sakyo’s words from earlier were true) |
| Wonder where Tasuku went… He was in charge of selling beer if i remember correctly? Seems like it’d be quite difficult to look for him specifically, so I’ll just look for him as I’m going around…. |
| Local Uncle | Hey, one beer please! |
| Tasuku | Yes, thank you so much. |
| Izumi | Oh, speak of the devil! Hey Tasuku, thanks for your hard work! |
| Tasuku | Oh Director. Did you already go around to look at everyone else’s stands? |
| Izumi | Yes, everyone was working so hard! Every stand seemed to be flourishing. |
| Tasuku | And, I assume you went and ate everything from every stand? |
| Izumi | Urk, you can see right through me…. |
| Tasuku | Haha, well, it is a festival after all. Everyone probably shoved them onto you right? It’s fine every once in a while. |
| |
| Izumi | (Would you look at the time, it’s almost time to gather for the performance. I wonder if everyone else’s getting ready too) |
| (I should head towards the stage as well) |
