Backstage Stories| Sakuya | Hello, everyone! |
| Thank you for coming to today’s viewing of “Romeo and Julius”! I’m Spring Troupe’s Sakyu… Agh. | |
| Masumi | You’re really fumbling your words even though this is just practice? |
| Citron | Sakuya, slacks, slacks~. |
| Masumi | Relax. |
| Izumi | It’s okay, Sakuya-kun. |
| We do after-talks after regular performances too, so just have fun with this one like you usually do. | |
| Sakuya | Okay…! |
| Manager | Okay, you’re on, everyone! Please do your best! |
| Citron | Let’s go~! |
| Everyone! Thank you for waiting! I’m Spring Troupe’s Citron~. | |
| Masumi | Spring Troupe, Masumi Usui. |
| Sakuya | Hello, everyone! |
| Thank you for coming to today’s viewing of “Romeo and Julius”! I’m Spring Troupe’s Sakuya Sakuma! | |
| Phew. | |
| Masumi | …Thank god. |
| Citron | I knew that Sakuya would be resilient in the real performance! Even though he was fumbling his words during practice. |
| Masumi | You didn’t mess up your own name this time. |
| Sakuya | Y-You guys! Don’t say that here…! |
| Audience | Ahahaha, so cute~! |
| Sakuya | Umm, thank you for watching today. “Romeo and Julius” was the first production of the Newborn Spring Troupe… |
| Citron | I still think the friar has too few lines. Everyone, I want you to send an email to Tsuzuru to tell him to rewrite the script! |
| Tsuzuru’s email address is… | |
| Sakuya | Waaah! Citron-san, don’t do that! |
| Masumi | That’s personal information, remember? |
| Audience | Ahahaha! |
| Sakuya | Is there anything in particular that you remember about the RomiJuli performance, Masumi-kun? |
| Masumi | …There was this one time when Sakuya was taking a nap in between rehearsals, and he suddenly jumped awake. |
| Citron | Oh! I remember that! |
| Sakuya | …Ah! That! |
| That was… I was trying not to get too worked up about the performance, but I had a dream that I skipped over some of my lines during a show… | |
| When I woke up, I frantically reread the script over and over again. | |
| I’d like to say that kind of episode was unique to just the first performance, but… I still have dreams like that from time to time. | |
| But now, whenever that happens, Citron-san always joins me in going over the script. | |
| Despite how it may sound, I think dreams like that are a good reminder to myself. | |
| Citron | That’s our Sakuya! Always looking to the blight side! |
| Sakuya | Blight? Blight side? |
| Masumi | He means bright side. |
| Citron | That! Now, whenever he jumps awake from a dream, we read the script together! |
| Sakuya | I’m really thankful for that! |
| Out of Spring Troupe… Tsuzuru-kun probably has the most similar problem. | |
| Citron | Absolutely! If that happens, he can just read the script with Masumi. |
| Masumi | Nope. Too much work. |
| Sakuya | Don’t be like that! |
| Masumi | …Sigh, I’ll think about it. |
| Citron | That’s it for the talk show, good job! |
| Masumi | Good job. |
| Sakuya | Good work, guys! |
| Izumi | You all did so well! |
| Well then, Sakuya-kun, it’s time to take your polaroid picture. | |
| Sakuya | Okay! That’s the giveaway thing Sakyo-san was talking about! |
| Masumi | I just want a polaroid of you. I’ll enter the giveaway for it. |
| Izumi | There is no polaroid of me. |
| Sakuya | Umm… I’m still in my RomiJuli costume, do you want me to do an in-character look? |
| Izumi | That could work. Let’s try taking a pic like that. Okay, say cheese. |
| Citron | Oh! You look very nice! Very law-inspiring! |
| Masumi | You mean, “awe-inspiring”. |
| Izumi | Alright, next let’s take a pic of our usual Sakuya-kun. |
| Sakuya | O-Okay. |
| Izumi | Your smile seems a little stiff. Just relax and smile a bit more. |
| Masumi | Haa… You’re so cute being a photographer like that… |
| Citron | Your smiling is not what matters now, Masumi. |
| Sakuya | Ahaha. |
| Izumi | (Good, the conversation between Citron-kun and Masumi-kun seems to have eased the tension.) |
| Let’s try again. | |
| Sakuya | Okay! |
| Citron | Let’s see, let’s see~. |
 |
|
| Oh, very good! That’s the big Sakuya smile we all know and love! | |
| Masumi | Yeah, just the same as usual. |
| Izumi | Fufu, the usual Sakuya-kun is the best kind of Sakuya-kun. |
| Sakuya | Thank you! |
| Izumi | Well then, all that’s left is for you to sign the polaroid and bring it to me later. |
| Sakuya | Okay! |
| Izumi | (Today’s stream and talk show was a big success.) |
| (Since this was the first performance, there must’ve been a lot of people who haven’t seen the show yet, so I’m glad we planned to stream it too.) | |
| Huh? I wonder… Could this be the reference material Tsuzuru-kun used to write RomiJuli? | |
| I was actually looking for different reference material, but… | |
| (There are all kinds of pictures with descriptions. This is the town where RomiJuli was set.) | |
| (Such a pretty place…) | |
| *Dream Start* | |
| …Where am I? | |
| (Cobblestone and brick streets… I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before…) | |
| (It’s just like the town I saw in the reference material!) | |
| Imperial Guard | Oi, you, what are you doing over there!? |
| Izumi | Eh, me? |
| Imperial Guard | You, the mysterious woman. You’re in front of the House Montague. What are you doing here?! |
| Izumi | Th-This is a misunderstanding! I’m just lost…! |
| Imperial Guard | Stop making up silly excuses. Come with me! |
| Izumi | Please just listen to what I’m saying! |
| ??? | What’s all the fuss about? |
| Izumi | (Sakuya-kun!?) |
| (Wait, no. That costume… That’s not Sakuya-kun, that’s--.) | |
| Imperial Guard | Sir Romeo! I’m about to arrest this mysterious woman. |
| I’m sure you’ve gotten lost, just as you said, but there’s no way you haven’t heard that the House Montague is around this area. | |
| Izumi | Umm, I’m not from this town though… |
| Romeo | Are you from outside of here? |
| Izumi | Y-Yeah. |
| Romeo | … |
| Romeo | I’ll take care of her. |
| Imperial Guard | B-But… |
| Romeo | It doesn’t matter, you can go now. Please return to your job. |
| Imperial Guard | Y-Yes, sir. |
| Izumi | Thank you, I’m very grateful. |
| Romeo | You’re welcome. |
| Izumi | Umm… But why did you help me? |
| Romeo | Actually, I have an interest in places outside of here! I wanna see even more of the vast world. |
| Romeo | --Hey, what kind of place is your hometown? What kind of food is good there? Is it by the sea? |
| Izumi | (Romeo’s eyes are really sparkling. It’s a little like Sakuya-kun.) |
| Romeo | Alright! How about you tell me all about it over some tea! |
| Izumi | Eh, wait a second. |
| Romeo | C’mon, let’s go! This way! |
| Izumi | Romeo--. |
| *Dream Ends* | |
| --! | |
| A dream, huh… I must’ve fallen asleep for a bit. | |
| Sakuya | Ah, Director! There you are. |
| Izumi | Rome… No, Sakuya-kun. Umm, what’s up? |
| Sakuya | I came here to bring you the signed polaroid. |
| Izumi | Thanks, I’ll take that. |
|
CHOICE 1: It really is a good photo. [+]
|
|
|
CHOICE 2: The Romeo version is also really cool. [+]
|
|
| Izumi | Mhm. It really is a lovely place. |
| Sakuya | It really is! Such a pretty town… |
| Ah, this park… It looks like somewhere where Romeo and Julius would take a nap under the shade of a tree! | |
| And this church is perfect for Father Lawrence! And this huge street over here that’s lined with all the shops is--. | |
| Izumi | (Sakuya-kun’s eyes are sparkling. Fufu, just like Romeo’s.) |
| Sakuya | Something up, Director? |
| Izumi | Hmm. Just thinking about how Romeo really is perfect for you, Sakuya-kun. |
