Backstage Stories

Part 1

Izumi	Alright now, today’s practise will be up to here.
	Good job everyone.
Tenma	Good job.
Chikage	Good job.
Misumi	Hey hey, I want to play sugoroku with everyone!
Kumon	I’m down!
Izumi	Sugoroku?
Tsuzuru	Once again out of the blue.
Masumi	Why all of a sudden?
Kumon	Recently, I borrowed a shoujo manga from Muku that’s set in the Heian period.
	It appeared in the manga that there’s a theory that sugoroku was the craze back during the Heian period!
Tsuzuru	Ahh, that’s true, I also feel like I read that somewhere.
Kumon	The rules now give off a different feeling,
	But if we try experiencing a game from the Heian era, it seems it can become role-making!
Misumi	Sugoroku looked really fun,
	So let’s play sugoroku together~!
Tenma	In other words you guys just want to play it, don’t you?
	Is what I want to say but…
	Well, it’s not bad to experience a game from that period in time.
Izumi	That’s right. It’s good to know the time period the stage will be set in,
	And maybe it will also become an unexpected role-making opportunity.
Chikage	The problem is whether we have sugoroku at the dorm or not.
	If you look in the storage room it’s possible that there will be one, but wouldn't searching without knowing where it is be inefficient?
Misumi	That’s fine! Kazu’s making one!
	“If you say that you want to play sugoroku, then in that case I’ll make it for you!” he said, and he took care of it~!
Tsuzuru	That guy, he really can make anything…
Kumon	During new years, he made also made fukuwarai for us!
Tenma	Come to think of it, he did do that.
Izumi	Playing homemade games is even more fun, right?
Misumi	Ah right, Kazu was saying he wants everyone to think up the contents for the game spaces of our sugoroku.
Masumi	!
	For that, is anything ok?
Tsuzuru	You suddenly got into it, huh?
Kumon	Yeah! He said things that are related to your role, things related to the real person,
	Everything is OK, and any number of them is ok!
Masumi	Dozens of them come to mind.
Tenma	I can make a general prediction of what’s coming to your mind…
Kumon	I wonder what kind of spaces I’ll go with~.
	Thinking about it is super interesting!
Misumi	When you thought of it, tell Kazu, 'kay?
	What kind of spaces they’ll become, I’ll look forward to when it’s finished~.
Masumi	I got it.
Chikage	Roger.
Misumi	Tah dah—!
	The sugoroku has been completed—!
Kumon	Wah—! It’s extremely colourful and stylish!
	I’m just looking at it, but I’m excited!
Misumi	But even though it’s finally done, Director had errands to run today.
Tenma	Is that so?
Masumi	I wanted to play together with her.
Misumi	Next time let’s play it when Director is here too.
Kumon	Yeah, that’s right!
Tsuzuru	The contents of the game squares; Kazunari wrote the things we thought up and told him on each one.
Misumi	Yeah! I also asked for various ones~.
	Here is the Mass Triangle Gate space~, over here is the Dreaming Triangle space~, over here is the Triangle Search Party space~…
Chikage	Although I knew it would be, it’s filled with triangles, huh?
Tenma	But there’s lots of advantageous ones like landing on this one and advancing 10 more spaces.
Misumi	It’s cause I want triangles to make everyone happy!
Kumon	Alriiight, then let’s try playing right away!
Tsuzuru	That’s right. Now then, let’s decide our turn order with rock-paper-scissors.
	Rooock-paaaper-scissors!
Masumi	…
Misumi	Yay—! It’s my win~!
Tenma	It’s Misumi’s win alone, huh?
Misumi	Now to roll the dice~.
	There~!
	*rolls dice*
Chikage	It’s 3.
Tsuzuru	He successfully got 3 for triangle, as expected…
Misumi	1, 2, triangle!
	Ah!
Masumi	…”Mass Triangle Gate! Advance 10 spaces”…
Misumi	Yay—!
Kumon	A triangle space in one shot!? Sumi-san, you’re amazin’!
Chikage	No one else besides Misumi has rolled the dice,
	And yet we’ve already been separated.
Tsuzuru	The top candidate to win suddenly appeared, huh...
