Practice Conversation 1


Tenma	Doing the traditional dance at the shrine is refreshing. Could make use of the movement in the dance.
	The priest’s rehearsals are intense... I prefer it. I have to be enthusiastic and practice.
	Of course, I’ll still be practicing for Kakushigei and it’s going well.
	I wasn’t used to it at first, but I’m getting the hang of it and increasing my repertoire.
	Director, I’ll show you amazing talent. Team White will win.

Tenma	Director, did you see Sakuya’s Kakushigei practice?
	Put water in a glass of grass, rub the rim with your finger, and it makes sound... It’s called a glass harp.
	There were a lot of glasses lined up... Even though it’s just glasses, it looked like an instrument. It was strange to see.
	The manager was teaching us and giving tips. It was a fun practice.
	It’s true the manager knows how to play instruments and is good at music. Can you play, Director? Just as expected...


Tenma	At the Lunar New Year Fair, there’s a lot of hagoita^[1] sold.
	Other than the kabuki pattern, I wonder if there’s hagoita of celebrities and athletes.
	Hah? Will I buy a hagoita of myself when it comes out...
	Well, I’m glad Director wants to buy it, don’t be shy to display it in the dorms.
	Speaking of shuttlecocks, it’s a custom in to play during New Year’s, and there’s a set of shuttlecocks at the dorms.
	Would you like to challenge me at the start of next year? Of course, there’s the punishment of drawing on your face if you lose.
	Hmph, I won’t lose. I’ll write my signature on the Director’s face, prepare yourself.


Homare	Tenma-kun, how is your Kakushigei practice?
Tenma	Ah, it’s going well. I’m sure Alice-san will be surprised by it.
Homare	Ah, I’m looking forward to it.
Tenma	Speaking of, Alice-san, what’s your craft?
Homare	Hmm, I’m doing a riddle.
Tenma	A riddle... calling it, solving it, that’s right that guy.
Homare	Precisely. I’m thinking of getting a theme from the audience.
Tenma	Then? Can you improv with the topic so last minute?
Homare	Of course. Let us have a trial. Give me a theme please.
Tenma	Are you sure? Let’s see... Then,『Cigar Box』.
Homare	Hmm...『Cigar Box』... Aha!
	Call it 『Cigar Box』and solve it as 『Arisugawa Homare』 The heart... both are a『square』!
Tenma	『Square』and『poetry, write』!^[2] Amazing...!
Homare	Hahaha! I am a genius after all!
	The Kakushigei Tournament also holds many mysteries, let’s entertain the audience. I expect the same from Tenma-kun.

↑ Hagoita (羽子板) are decorated wooden paddles used to hit shuttlecocks in hanetsuki (羽根つき), a traditional game of Japanese badminton
↑ I am not as confident in their interaction as it is a riddle performance, it’s difficult to translate smoothly so I instead direct translated
