Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	(And with this the meeting is done for today…)
Omi	….
Izumi	Hm? Omi-kun?
Omi	Ah, Director. On your way back from the meeting?
Izumi	Yup. And you're on your way back from college Omi-kun?
Omi	Yeah, I was playing futsal with some friends from college.
Izumi	I see, the next play is about soccer after all.
Omi	I haven't been exercising much lately, it was a good opportunity to get myself in business again.
	I'm also trying to touch a ball as much as possible between acting practices.
Izumi	Speaking of which I did see Tsuzuru-kun and the others lifting a ball in the courtyard.
	We're home.
Azami	Alright, it's in!
Kumon	Amazing! That goal just now was super cool!
Izumi	You're all watching soccer?
Omi	Oh right, there was an international match today.
Kazunari	The first half ended this very sec!
Tsuzuru	They scored a point just before the first half ended.
Tasuku	Don't worry, I'm recording this match so you can just watch the first half later.
Omi	That's great, thank you so much.
	Alright, I'll make some light treats while it's halftime then.
Izumi	Ah, I'll help you too.
Kumon	Yay! I want to eat fried chicken!
Azami	No, you can't make that in 15 minutes.
	*whistle*
Tasuku	Alright!
Kazunari	Woohoo! We won big time!
Azami	Scoring right before the end of the first half was a huge help.
Omi	The defense played well too.
Tsuzuru	I hope they continue to win in the next matches as well.
Kazunari	Our next performance is about soccer so like, it gets you super motivated right!?
Izumi	Speaking of which, it's our first sports themed performance since First Crush Baseball.
Omi	We held a baseball tournament too.
Tasuku	Now that you mention it, we really did.
Kazunari	Kumopi was the MVP y'know!
Kumon	It was so fun playing baseball with everyone~!
Azami	There were too many people though.
Kumon	I know! How 'bout this time we--.
	…and that's why, we will be starting the first MANKAI Company soccer tournament!
Yuki	What do you mean that’s why.
Kumon	Geez, we talked about it yesterday right~.
	We held a baseball tournament for First Crush Baseball, so now we're having a soccer match~! That’s the plan!
Kazunari	Yay! This plan is lit~!
Omi	As you can see, Tasuku-san is really into it too.
Citron	Tasuku in high limits!
Tasuku	We didn’t get to play soccer with 11 members in a while.
Izumi	Yuki-kun and Azuma-san are the referees right.
Yuki	Obviously.
Azuma	I don't really want to be out in the sun.
Sakuya	The teams are going to be Spring-Winter and Summer-Autumn right.
Tsumugi	Each team gets to have two soccer club members with this arrangement, so I think it's perfect.
Taichi	With Omi-kun as a goalkeeper we're unbeatable!
Misumi	Omi, do your best!
Omi	Haha, I will.
Itaru	Real talk now, why am I the goalkeeper…?
Tasuku	You don't have to run, not to mention move too much this way right.
Itaru	….
	…well, I really don't feel like running on this big field, so I guess it works.
Azuma	Let's see… the coin says tails, so Spring-Winter team is the first on offence.
Yuki	Are you ready? Then, start!

Tasuku	--.
Tenma	Oh no, he took the ball…!
Guy	As expected from Takato, his steals are good.
Homare	Tasuku-kun, keep on running straight to the goal!
Tasuku	Hah!
	*kicks*
Omi	….!
Kumon	Nice one Omi-san!
Tsuzuru	That was so close, Takato-san!
Banri	We have to get back at ya now. Misumi!
	*kicks*
Misumi	Yaaay! Here we go~!
Tsumugi	Amazing! Misumi-kun is so fast…!
Citron	No no Tsumugi! Don't be impressed with the enemy!
Misumi	Muku~, pass~!
	*kicks*
Muku	Y-Yeah! Azami-kun!
	*kicks*
Azami	Alright, now I will…!
	!
Tsuzuru	Don't take it personally, Azami.
Guy	…I won't let you pass.
Azami	Ugh--!
Juza	Their defense is so tight.
Chikage	Since Chigasaki can't possibly stop Azami's kick.
Sakyo	So your plan is to guard the front more than the goal itself.
Itaru	Senpai, nice guard~.
Chikage	Geez…
Guy	Kemari is harder than I thought.
Tsuzuru	No, again that's not kemari!
Hisoka	….
Yuki	That's a rare sight. Psycho Sleeper isn't sleeping, he's actually playing.
Azuma	We promised we'll give him limited edition marshmallow if he does well.
Hisoka	Sakuya, pass.
	*kicks*
	Zzz…
Tasuku	Mikage! Don't fall asleep the moment you're done passing!
	*whistle*
Tsumugi	Huh… the first half is over.
Citron	It's 0-0~.
Omi	Their defense is so tight.
Kazunari	Word~. It's still 0-0 just because Omimi is protecting our goal but y'know…
Muku	Tasuku-san and Tsuzuru-san are tough enemies…
Azami	In the second half we have to think of ways to destroy those two.
Banri	The goalkeeper is Itaru-san, so if we pass their guard it's a sure win for us.
Omi	So in the second half Tenma, Juza and Sakyo-san will…
Juza	'kay.
Tenma	Then I'll grab the ball and--.
Tasuku	Hah!!
	*kicks*
Omi	--!
Taichi	Amazing Omi-kun! You completely blocked it!
Omi	Go for a counter!
Tasuku	Back up guys!
Tenma	Banri-san! Take it!
	*kicks*
Banri	Awright!
Yuki	…they're getting all serious over it.
Azuma	Haha, to be young.
Azami	…there!
Tsuzuru	!?
Azami	Hah!
	*kicks*
Itaru	…oh crap.
Kumon	Yay!! Azami scored a goal!
Azami	Alright!
Banri	Nice shoot Azami!
Sakyo	Well done, Bon.
Kazunari	Awesome! We're leading~!
Tasuku	Chigasaki, don't avoid the ball!
Itaru	No no no, there's no way in hell I can stop this kinda ball.
Tsuzuru	I'm sorry, it's because he passed my block…
Hisoka	…don't mind.
Homare	Well, how about we begin our counter attack?
Sakuya	Yes! Let's try our best!
Tasuku	Hah!
	*kicks*
Omi	--!
Citron	Yay! A goal!
Chikage	We’re tied now.
Omi	Damn it…!
Kazunari	No worries! We still got time~!
Juza	Let's take a point back from them.
Omi	Guys… thank you.
Izumi	(They went into overtime, and they're still tied…)
Yuki	….
Azuma	The match is reaching its climax.
Izumi	Both teams, do your best!
Masumi	Director is cheering for me…
Guy	Usui, here.
Masumi	--.
	*kicks*
Guy	Minagi.
	*kicks*
Tsuzuru	Got it!
Taichi	Juza-san!
Hisoka	Tsuzuru, here.
Juza	Shit, he went past me…!
Hisoka	Tasuku, pass.
	*kicks*
Tasuku	…Hah!!
	*kicks*
Omi	Ngh…!
Muku	Amazing! He stopped this powerful kick!
Banri	But we're running out of time.
Omi	….
	Now that it came to this…
	--.
	*kicks*
Azami	!?
Guy	A long kick!?
Citron	It's so high we can't reach it!
Tasuku	This is no good, Chigasaki--!!
Tsumugi	Wait, what!?
Sakuya	Itaru-san isn't here…!?
Tsuzuru	The ball is…
Izumi	!!
Azami	It's in!!
	*whistle*
Yuki	The match is over!
Kazunari	Yay!
Banri	Awright!
Misumi	We won~!
Azami	You rock Omi-san!
Taichi	It was a super goal!
Omi	Haha, thank you.
Izumi	Guys, all of were great!
CHOICE 1: Omi-kun you're amazing! [+] Izumi Omi-kun, you're amazing! It's the first time I've seen such a kick in real life! Omi Honestly I'm surprised too. I just thought about how we're running out of time, so I kicked it without thinking. Izumi The ball was sucked into the goal. Somehow I was really moved. Omi Thank you for cheering for us, Director.
CHOICE 2: Congrats, Summer-Autumn team! [+] Izumi Congrats on your win, Summer-Autumn team! Juza Thanks. Muku Omi-san, you were so amazing! Just like the protagonist of a manga! Sakyo Indeed, it was some dramatic goal. Omi Thank you very much. But we won because all of us worked hard together. Kumon Alright, let's all drink together today after we get back! Omi Haha, good idea.
Sakuya	Itaru-San, what's wrong? Why are you sitting there in the corner--.
Guy	Are you feeling unwell?
Itaru	Ah, not really…
Hisoka	…he's gaming.
Tsuzuru	Right now!? Right here!?
Citron	The field is a holy ground!
Itaru	I mean it was about time for the match to end, I thought I might just play a bit while taking cover…
	But even if I was in front of the goal, there was no way I could stop this--.
Tasuku	…Chigasaki.
	You… what are you doing, leaving the goal in the middle of a match!!
Itaru	Wait, I'm sorry! I haven't thought the ball would come flying from all the way there--.
Masumi	…he's pissed off for real.
Citron	This is no good!
Tsuzuru	But also, I don’t feel like standing up for him.
Chikage	Agreed.
Tsumugi	T-Tasuku, calm down!
Guy	That shot really was unexpected. It is not a surprise Chigasaki couldn't stop it.
Homare	Tasuku-kun, you must restrain yourself!
Azuma	My my…
Yuki	Huh… come on.
Izumi	Ahaha…
