Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Sakyo	According to the script, I will be playing a chef in the upcoming drama.
	(I’ll appear as a minor character in a special drama through Sumeragi. )
	( I didn't expect to be nominated for the role either... If I'm going to do it anyway, I might as well do my role study thoroughly)
	*knock*
	Who is it?
Izumi	Sakyo-san, do you have a moment?
	I'm sorry for bothering you while you are reading your script.
Sakyo	No, it's fine. What is it?
Izumi	It's also related to your script.....
	I got an invitation ticket for an Italian restaurant from a member of the theater company I was helping the other day.
	I heard that it is a shop where chefs are cooking flambé in front of the customers so I thought it would be perfect for Sakyo-san.
	In the upcoming drama with Tenma-kun and Tsumugi-san, there's a scene where Sakyo-san will have to cook flambé, right?
Sakyo	Yeah.
Izumi	If it's okay with you, would you like to go with me?
Sakyo	Well, it's going to be a better reference to see the actual thing.
Izumi	Thank goodness! It's decided then!
	It's a nice shop, isn't it?
Sakyo	This shop looks expensive.
Izumi	Well, there's that too...
Chef	Now, let's start grilling the steak.
Izumi	I'm looking forward to the flambé!
Sakyo	We're only here for role study. You're way too excited.
Chef	Then, both of you, please pay attention to the iron plate. If you want to take a photo or video, get your phones ready now.
Izumi	I'll take a good picture and show it to everyone.
Sakyo	Geez...We didn't come here for fun.
CHOICE 1: "Stop making that face. Let's have fun!" [+] Choice 1 "Stop making that face. Let's have fun!" Izumi I know that we're here for role study but please stop making that face. We might as well have fun! It's not like we get to see flambé cook in front of us every day. Sakyo Well, It's such a luxurious shop. I wouldn’t come here if not for the invitation ticket. Izumi It's nice to come to this kind of place once in a while. Sakyo .....You're right.
CHOICE 2: "I'm sorry. I got a bit excited" [+] Izumi I've never been to a shop like this before. I'm sorry I got a bit excited. Sakyo It can’t be helped. Izumi Look, it looks like they're about to cook flambé. How exciting ...!
Izumi	Haa~, it was so delicious!
Sakyo	It was delicious.
Izumi	Did you get a good reference for cooking flambé?
Sakyo	Yeah. Seeing it with your very own eyes certainly feels different.
Izumi	It was so intense! The flames were extremely beautiful!
Sakyo	Indeed.
Izumi	But Sakyo-san, you seem like you can cook flambé yourself.
Sakyo	Certainly, shall I try cooking it myself?
	I won't lose anything by giving it a shot.
Izumi	Eh, are you really doing it?
Sakyo	What now? Didn't you say so?
Izumi	I did but....
	(He's really going all out for his role study)
Sakyo	Indeed, we were talking about using brandy.
	Should we buy it on our way home?
	We can drink the rest next time.
Izumi	Ah, sounds good! What should we buy for snacks?
Sakyo	Oi, we're buying it mainly for flambé practice.
Izumi	Ah, ahaha.... Yes of course.

Sakyo	Fushimi, can I use the kitchen?
Omi	Yeah, sure but it's kinda rare of you.
Izumi	Ah, are you practicing to cook flambé?
Sakyo	Yeah.
Omi	Flambé practice?
Sakyo	I will be appearing as a minor character in an upcoming drama. There will be a scene where I'll have to cook flambé so I'm practicing.
Omi	Got it. It needs a strong liquor though....
Sakyo	No problem. I bought a brandy beforehand.
Omi	Brandy?
Sakyo	Yeah. I just left it around here... It's not here.
Izumi	I'm sure we placed it here when we bought it.
Sakyo	Fushimi, do you have any idea where it is?
Omi	Uhh...It's just a hunch but....
	*Flashback*
Omi	I'm back.
Itaru	GJ.
Citron	Welcome back!
Omi	Drinking party? How nice.
Azuma	Omi, would you care for a drink?
Omi	Sorry. I have an early start tomorrow so I have to refuse.
Citron	Oh-! There's a brandy sitting in here!
Itaru	Did someone buy it for the drinking party?
Citron	It's such a waste to not drink it!
Omi	It might be someone's stock. Don't you think it's better to not drink it without permission?
Itaru	Leaving it in such a place means we're allowed to drink it. I'm sure of that.
Citron	I agree with Itaru! Thanks for the drink!
Omi	With that, they opened the brandy.
Izumi	I- I see...
Sakyo	Those punks....
Omi	I'm sorry. I should have confirmed it properly.
Sakyo	No, it's fine. I should have kept it in my room.
Azuma	Hm, what's going on here?
Sakyo	...Did you drink the brandy I left here the other day?
Azuma	Yeah, it was delicious.... Eh, could it be...
	Is it yours, Sakyo-kun?
Omi	Actually, it seems like they bought it for flambé practice.
Azuma	Oh my, seems like we have done something wrong.
	I'm sorry, both of you.
Sakyo	It can't be helped. You drank it already.
Azuma	Should I buy another brandy?
Sakyo	No, you don't have to go through that length.
Omi	Flambé is difficult to cook but I'm sure you can make it using wine.
Sakyo	Is that so?
Omi	Yes. We have wine here. Would you like to give it a try?
Sakyo	Certainly. I'll give it a shot.
Omi	First, pour the wine on the center of the flambé pan.
Sakyo	Understood.
Omi	Try tilting it from there.
Sakyo	Like this?
	*Sizzle*
	!
Izumi	Woah, amazing!
Azuma	Fufu, as expected of Sakyo-kun.
Sakyo	It's quite intense trying it myself.
Omi	Brandy has more alcohol content than wine so it's easier to ignite. However, there are times when flames shoot up high. Please be careful.
Sakyo	Understood.
Izumi	It's perfect for shooting drama.
Sakyo	I don't think I'll have to actually do it but it was good image training.
	It's all thanks to director-san and Fushimi.
Izumi	I'm looking forward to the drama!
	*Knock*
Sakyo	What is it?
Azuma	Sakyo-kun, do you have a minute?
Sakyo	So it’s Yukishiro. What is it?
Azuma	I want to give this to Sakyo-kun.
Sakyo	Brandy?
Azuma	I bought it as an apology for the one we drank.
	You can use it for cooking flambé or drink it with the director.
Sakyo	I appreciate your sincerity.
Azuma	I feel bad for drinking the brandy you bought for your role study.
	Itaru and the prince said they'll buy some snacks as an apology.
Sakyo	It's fine as long as you make sure to properly confirm it next time.
	....Oi, Yukishiro.
Azuma	Hm?
Sakyo	No matter how much you want to apologize, you don't have to buy such an expensive brandy.
Azuma	Was it expensive?
	I didn't know.
	That brandy is delicious. I just thought I'd have Sakyo-kun drink it.
Sakyo	It's a waste to drink it right away. Maybe I should keep it in my room for a while.
