Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Now then. The weather is pretty nice today, so I think I’ll be able to get lots of laundry done.
	*water splashing*
Izumi	Was that water…? Is it coming from the courtyard?
Kumon	It’s kinda hard to collect water.
Muku	This plastic pool is pretty big, isn’t it.
Izumi	So it was Summer Troupe. But, what are you guys doing with a pool at this time of year?
Kazunari	Oh, Director-chan, nice timin’! He’ll be back in a just a sec…
Misumi	Sorry to keep you waiting! I brought it~.
Tenma	So, that’s the model ship that Chikage-san and Tasuku-san remodeled.
Kazunari	Sweet! The S.S. Party People!
Yuki	What’s with that naming.
Kazunari	Perfect, right?
Muku	The lights are so beautiful!
Misumi	It doesn’t only light up, it makes sound too!
	*fancy strum sound*
Kumon	What kind of witchcraft remodeling is this! Awesome!
Yuki	I can imagine those two putting their all into it.
Izumi	You seem to like it, Misumi-kun.
Misumi	Mhm! That’s why I want to build even more ships!
Izumi	More?
Misumi	Wait just a moment~.
Misumi	Tah-dah!
Muku	A model ship kit….?
Misumi	We can make our very own ships with this!
Kumon	Heh, that seems interesting!
Misumi	I bought a lot, so everyone make one!
Muku	But, making my own seems difficult….
Yuki	Can’t you make it your own by just building it and painting it your favorite color?
Izumi	That’s right!
Kazunari	Hey hey, why don’t we have a competition when we’re done? We’ll call it, “The World’s Only Ship Contest”!
Muku	The World’s Only, huh… that sounds wonderful.
Kazunari	It’s emotional, right?
Misumi	Well then, it’s decided!
Tenma	Hmph. Too bad, I’m not going to lose to you guys.
Kumon	Me too! Mine is going to be super cool!
Izumi	(Fufu, everyone seems so motivated. That’s Summer Troupe for you.)
Kazunari	Now then…. start building your ships~!
Izumi	–Alright, the laundry’s dry too.
	(Actually, how the Summer Troupe model ship contest going? Everyone should be done by now.)
Misumi	Thank you, Chikage~!
Chikage	It’s no problem. I hope you win the contest.
Misumi	Yeah!
Izumi	(Huh? Misumi-kun is coming out of Itaru-san and Chikage-san’s room….?)
Kumon	Ah, Director!
Izumi	What is it?
Muku	We’re starting the contest, so please be our judge!
Tenma	As Director, will you make sure to judge fairly?
Izumi	Fufu, of course. I want to see what everyone made, too!
Yuki	That’s good. Well then, glad to work with you.

Tenma	They look more like ships when they’re in a plastic pool like this.
Misumi	Amazing~, it’s a fleet of triangles~!
Kazunari	Me first! This is the “S.S Rainbow Neo Party People”, I painted it rainbow!
Kumon	This is mine, the red “S.S. Dragonic Flame”! The dragon part is the flame-like sail!
Muku	I wanted to make a ship with a happy feel, so I chose the name “S.S. MANKAI Flower”, which is covered in flowers!
Tenma	Mine has a summer-like feel with images of the sun and white clouds, it’s name is “Midsummer”!
Misumi	What a cool name for your ship, Tenma~!
Yuki	So he’s the only one who didn’t use “S.S.”, huh.
Tenma	What sort of name did you give yours?
Yuki	I didn’t give it a name.
Misumi	Eh~, really!?
Muku	Let’s name it together!
Kumon	Like, “S.S. Galaxy Neptune”!
Yuki	That makes zero sense.
Kazunari	Then, what about something like, “S.S. Pinky Bare-Prime”?
Yuki	Absolutely not.
Tenma	How about–.
Yuki	Rejected.
Tenma	I haven’t even said anything!
Izumi	W-Well, I guess it’s fine to exclude names in the judging.
	Um, then the last one is–.
Misumi	It’s me~! This is my “Triangle Speedboat”!
Kumon	It actually looks… pretty normal?
Muku	The design is simple, isn’t it. I was expecting a ship covered in triangles…
Misumi	Fufufu…. My ship is amazing! Here, look look!
	Press this button and…. GO~!
Kumon	I-It’s moving!? Awesome, it looks just like a real ship!
Tenma	Those kits we used, they were originally just to decorate them. There wasn’t a power source, right?
Yuki	How did you make this.
Misumi	Hehe, Chikage taught me how~!
Izumi	(So, when they were first building the ships, did Misumi-kun learn how to set up a motor from Chikage-san?)
	Ah! So when you came out of Chikage-san’s room just now…
Misumi	Chikage lent me the parts and tools~.
CHOICE 1: You’re pretty skilled, huh [+] Izumi It’s really fast and well-made. Misumi Ehehe, it’s amazing! I thought it would be cool if it could move, so I made sure not to make it too heavy~. Izumi I see, so that’s why the design looks pretty simple. Misumi But, I still put a lot of triangles in it~! See, here, here, over here… And this one too, it’s hidden! Izumi You’re right, wow…! As expected of Misumi-kun!
CHOICE 2: Was it hard ? [+] Izumi Was getting it to work hard? Misumi Nope. Chikage is a good teacher, so it was easy! Izumi Fufu, really now. Kumon Awesome~! I want mine to be motorized too! Misumi Okay~ I’ll teach Kumon too~. Kazunari Me too, me too! Muku I also want to learn…! Tenma Then, to be fair, should we start over once everyone adds a motor? Yuki Fine with me. But, if we plan on having them move instead of just float, isn’t this plastic pool too small? Misumi Then let’s use the bath! Kazunari Great, let’s do it! Izumi (Everyone got so excited, they forgot about the judging. I guess it’s break time then.)
Kumon	…Then something like that~.
Omi	Heh, that’s amazing. So did they work?
Muku	Yep! All six ran correctly!
Tenma	I’ll devise a new plan and make a ship that moves even faster…
Yuki	Ah, you did get totally defeated in last place, huh.
Tenma	That was completely by chance!
Tsumugi	Anyways, I’m glad the dorm bath was big enough.
Sakuya	The huge communal bath is one of the dorms best features, after all.
Sakoda	Good work everyone! Sorry for the intrusion!
Omi	Come to think of it, Sakyo-san did mention Sakoda was joining us for dinner today.
Kazunari	But, why isn’t Frooch-san with you?
Sakoda	Oh yeah, about Boss–.
	He was out all day and sweat a lot, so he said he wanted to bathe and wash all that off before it drove him crazy.
Summer Troupe	Eh…..
Izumi	E-Everyone, don’t you think…
Yuki	This is bad.
Misumi	Sakyo~ Wait~!
Sakyo	......
Kumon	Sakyo-san is standing so intimidatingly….
Yuki	We’re too late…
Sakyo	What the hell is this.
Tenma	What are you talking about….
Muku	Isn’t this just the same bath as usual?
Sakyo	Don’t play dumb. I’m asking what the hell are these model ships floating in the bath.
Muku	U-Um… These are…
Misumi	Summer Troupe’s handmade Triangle Fleet! They’re motorized, see?
Sakyo	Huh? Triangle Fleet?
Misumi	Yeah!
Kazunari	No, Sumi, this is…
Yuki	This opponent is too tough.
Tenma	Let’s get out of here before the lecture starts—.
Muku	Let’s escape…!
Kumon	R-Retreat!
Sakyo	OI, WAIT, YOU BRATS!
