Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Yuki	Muku, can we stop by the general store on the way home?
Muku	Yes, of course!
Yuki	Thanks.
Muku	—Huh?
	There’s a line at that shop over there.
Yuki	Oh, you’re right.
	What's that store?
Muku	I guess it just opened.
	It looks like there’s lots of girls our age over there…
Yuki	Ah, the signboard.
	Meringue chantilly…?
Muku	Ahh! I might've heard of that before.
	Right, before, Kazu-kun was telling me that a new sweets shop was opening on Veludo Way.
Yuki	Heh. Sweets, huh?
Muku	I was thinking that I wanted to try eating there after I heard Kazu-kun’s story.
	I see, did it open here?
Yuki	In that case, wanna line up?
Muku	Eh, is it ok?
Yuki	Yeah. I’m a bit interested too.
	And we can go to the general store afterwards.
Muku	Thanks, Yuki-kun!
	We finally got in…
Yuki	The line took longer than I thought.
Shop clerk	Sorry for the wait.
Muku	Wahh… it looks like a fluffy cloud…!
Yuki	True, this sweet's photogenic.
Muku	It looks tasty, right!
	Oh right, I want to report this to Kazu-kun too so I’ll take a picture.
	*click*
	Umm… I wonder if the photo came out ok?
Yuki	Isn’t it fine?
	It looks like a proper food pic.
Muku	That's great.
	Alright, I was able to take the picture, so let’s dig in now!
Yuki	Itadakimasu.
	…Woah, it’s really crisp. Tasty.
Muku	It’s sweet and delicious!
	I’ll tell Ju-chan about it too.
Yuki	That reminds me—our keychain exchange.
	Did you decide what you’ll use?
Muku	Ah… Actually, I haven’t yet.
	The keychain exchange is completely random this time, so you don’t know whose you'll get, right?
Yuki	Well, yeah. Since it seems that guy Itaru even brought out a real-life gacha machine.
Muku	That’s why it’s pretty hard for me to decide when I think of having to choose something that won’t offend anyone no matter who ends up getting it…
Yuki	Oh, I see.
	That’s so like you, Muku.
	But you don’t need to worry so much about that, do you?
Muku	Is that so…?
Yuki	In the first place, the main point of the plan this time is so we won’t lose our keys, right?
	That’s why anything’s fine as long as it brings attention to the key.
	I mean, we have this many people and their ages and their interests and preferences are all over the place.
	So I think it’s better not to think too hard about it.
Muku	I see… That’s true, huh?
Yuki	We still have time, so take your time thinking it over.
Muku	Yeah!
	Thanks, Yuki-kun!

Kazunari	Heh~, Mukkun, so you went to the meringue chantilly shop right away!
Izumi	It looks so good!
Muku	It was crispy, the cream was sweet, and it was really delicious.
Izumi	I sure wanna eat it too.
Kazunari	Then go with me next time, Director-chan!
	It’ll be a new sweets date; so lit!
Izumi	Ahaha, let’s go next time, hm?
	Anyways, this photo was taken really well.
Kazunari	Since it’s the perfect chance, why don’t you upload it to instablam!?
Muku	Ehehe… I guess I’ll try doing that.
Kazunari	Oh, speaking of instablam! I discovered another sick and buzz-worthy item when I was scrolling around the other day.
Muku	What did you find this time, Kazu-kun?
Kazunari	Tah daaah, this! A keychain that grants wishes!
	I heard it’s preeettyyy miraculous.
Muku	Wahh, the design is cute too!
Kazunari	Ain’t it, ain’t it?
	I think this design’s pretty Muku-style!
Izumi	That’s true.
Muku	R-really..?
	Ehehe, thank you very much.
Izumi	The way it looks is cute, but I’m curious about the part that grants wishes too.
Kazunari	Right~!
Muku	…
Izumi	Well then, I guess I’ll take a little break…
Yuki	Heh, isn’t that nice?
Kumon	Yeah, yeah, it's got Muku's vibe!
Muku	Ehehe, I wonder about that?
Izumi	You’re all fired up, huh, what are you guys talking about?
Kumon	Ah, Director!
Izumi	Huh?
	Could that thing Muku-kun has be…
Muku	Yes, Kazu-kun told us about it before.
	It’s the keychain that grants wishes!
Izumi	As expected, the real thing is cute too, huh~.
	It suits you, Muku-kun.
Muku	Ah no, I actually bought this for the keychain exchange this time.
Izumi	Ah, so that’s why!
	I thought you were going to use it yourself.
Muku	That would be great too… but more than that, I was thinking it’d be nice if the wish of the person who got it comes true.
Yuki	That sounds like Muku.
Kumon	You bought it, so I’m sure the power of the keychain’ll have an effect on Muku too!
Muku	Thanks, everyone.
Izumi	I can’t wait to see who gets it on the day of the exchange.
Muku	Right!
	Alright, I’ll turn it!
	*rolls*
	Ummm, this is…
	Um, a key cover… and instructions?
Itaru	Doesn’t this turn an LED light on?
Muku	Wah, it does!
	It shines when you press it…!
Sakuya	You’re right; it’s pretty bright, huh!
Guy	The main entrance of the dorm is surprisingly dark at night.
	So with this, the keyhole will be easy to see.
Itaru	It’s a cool design for Muku, but this is the thrill of real-life gacha.
Muku	Yes, I'm happy with an item that's convenient!
	I'll use it right away starting today.
	Thank you very much!
