Mischievous Cat
Backstage Stories| Sakuya | The next play’s theme is “Alice In Wonderland” huh. |
| Come to think of it, I didn’t really read the original work of Alice In Wonderland. So that’s why, I don’t really know much about it…… | |
| Izumi | The role you’re playing, the “Cheshire Cat” is also a popular character even in the original work. |
| You might be able to grasp the image of the other characters as well as understand your own role much more if you read the original work. | |
| Sakuya | I see, that’s true. I’ll go borrow it from the library tomorrow! |
| Muku | Oh, Sakuya-kun! Good luck on the practice. |
| The Spring Troupe’s next performance is themed Alice In Wonderland, right? I’m looking forward to the play! | |
| Sakuya | Thanks, I’ll do my best! I was just about to go borrow the book of the original work from the library after school tomorrow. |
| Muku | I have the original story back in my room too! The story of Alice has both really great characters and a really great view of the world. |
| Sakuya | Really? How is it like? |
| Muku | After chasing after the white rabbit dressed in clothes, Alice fell into a hole and what lied beyond had been Wonderland! And there had been a small, tiny bottle left in the hall. |
| When Alice had drunk the liquid in the vial, her body had gradually got smaller! And then this time, a cake―― | |
| Ha!? | |
| S-S-Sorry for spoiling you! Even though it’s a 100 thousand times more interesting to read it from the book, I made everything sound so messed up and in pieces―― | |
| Someone like me who’s taking your excitement away, somehow, It’s just like being one of the trump cards in Alice and getting their heads chopped off by the queen……! | |
| Wait, I’ll just be spoiling you more the longer I stay by your side……! I-I-I-I-I’m really sorry……! | |
| Sakuya | I-It’s fine, Muku-kun! I managed to hear about how it was like and now I’m looking more and more forward to reading it ever since I heard about how it began! |
| Muku | R-Really? |
| Sakuya | It’s true. After I finish enjoying reading the original work and once I finish reading it, could I talk about Alice together with you? |
| Muku | ……! Okay! |
| Citron | I’m really looking forward to the play about Alice~! |
| Sakuya | I haven’t read the original story of Alice properly yet but Muku-kun taught me a bit about the beginning of the story today. |
| Alice chased a white rabbit, fell into a hole and found a small bottle there! | |
| So I heard that after Alice had drunk the contents of the small bottle, she got saller and smaller till the part where she eats the cake. | |
| Citron | Oh, Sakuya…..right― And then after that, there are gigs, tears and the tears also bring about stories of gazelle…… |
| Sakuya | What!? R-Really? |
| Citron | Alice who ate a cake turned into a frog. And the journey began with her looking for a way to return to her former form. |
| Sakuya | A-A frog……! |
| Citron | Swimming across ponds made of tears, making food out of mushrooms and caterpillars and the like. But somehow, she had managed to return to her original form in the very end! |
| But before that……Oh―!? It’s already this late. If I don’t go sleep now, my skin will turn all rough! | |
| It’s good night now, Sakuya~ | |
| Sakuya | Y-Yeah. Good night, Citron-san. |
| (Alice was such a disastrous story huh……I wonder what’ll be it’s continuation. I’m really interested now) |
| Sakuya | Haah, the Alice book in the library’s out on loan……even though I was really interested in borrowing it…… |
| Wait, but I do remember that Muku had said something about him having the original story too. Let’s try contacting him on LIME! | |
| Whoa, quick. An answer’s already here! | |
| Muku | “Of course I’ll lend it to you! Or rather, I wish that I had told you that yesterday, sorry…… |
| “I’ll have it ready by tonight and hand it to you by then” | |
| Sakuya | ……That’s a relief! I’m looking forward to the continuation. |
| ??? | Satsuwan~! |
| Sakuya | Huh? |
| Taichi | Are you going back now!? Let’s go back together~! |
| Sakuya | Yup! You’re in the middle of returning home too huh. |
| Taichi | I went to the convenience store and bought drinks for practice! Speaking of which, the Spring Troupe’s next performance a play about Alice, right? |
| Sakuya | Yup, I’m acting as the Cheshire Cat. |
| Taichi | I feels as if I’m always talking about Alice― |
| Sakuya | Me too. But I heard the story half-way from Muku-kun and Citron-san. First with the white rabbit and―― |
| ――And then. After having cooked dishes with mushrooms, she was able to return back to her normal form. | |
| Taichi | Oh― Right, right, it was something like that! Right, I’ve also remembered it’s continuation! |
| I think it was some sort of tea party that had happened afterwards where they drank tea and made a huge commotion! | |
| And then, I’m pretty sure……right, it because a huge battle of powers at the very end~! | |
| Sakuya | Really!? So there was a battle that developed in the original story too huh. |
| Taichi | Hmm? I feel like it became an entirely different conversation but it was probably something like that! Yup! |
| Sakuya | I see. There are no fighting scenes in the play though…… |
| (I wonder if Tsuzuru-san had changed it from the original just like how he did with the Romeo & Juliet) | |
| Homare | Hey there Sakuya-kun, welcome back. You came at a great time. |
| Sakuya | Homare-san, we’re back! |
| Homare | You sit down too. I’ve just finished brewing the finest Earl Grey. How about we have a taste of it together? |
| Sakuya | Is it alright for me to do so? Thank you very much. |
| Delicious! It has a very nice fragrance. | |
| (Oh, come to think of it……Alice had a tea party scene too) | |
| Homare-san, do you know the story of Alice In Wonderland? | |
| Homare | Alice? Of course I do. |
| Sakuya | I’m trying to put the original work of Alice into my memory for the sake of the next play, but I don’t know about the tea party episode yet. |
| Homare | Alice’s tea party……hmm, it was brilliant! Tea time, that’s mime mime and then dream. |
| What a brilliant fragrance, lalalala, pouring in sugar & hot water! Dancing forever with milk and lemon, dancing along…… | |
| That’s basically how Alice’s tea party is like. You got it? | |
| Sakuya | Y-Yeah…… |
| Kazunari | Saku-saku, welcome~! You came to borrow a book from Mu-kun, right!? |
| Wait, huh? What’s wrong? Isn’t the tension here really dropping? | |
| Sakuya | Yeah……I’m looking forward to reading the story of Alice but I’m also a little scared…… |
| Muku | Scared? |
| Sakuya | Today, everyone taught me about the plot. Alice will eat the cake and turn into a frog, right? |
| Kazunari / Muku | !? |
| Sakuya | Swimming across ponds made of tears, making food out of mushrooms by a caterpillar, she returned to her original form but…… |
| After that, she went drinking tea at the tea party, adding in hot water and sugar and continued on dancing with the milk and lemon― | |
| Moreover, there had been a full-out battle of powers at the end! It’s some real great development, isn’t it? | |
| Muku | ………… |
| Kazunari | ……How in the world did things happen to turn out like this. |
