Sakyo Furuichi/First Snow, Falling Gently
From A3! Wiki
An Unexpected Surprise on a Snowy Day
Backstage StoriesIzumi | (I’m done with my shopping, so I should head back to the dorms… huh?) |
(It’s snowing… Even though the weather report said it wouldn’t start just yet.) | |
(It might calm down a little if I wait for a bit; let me try that.) | |
Izumi | (...What should I do. I feel like it’s getting worse…) |
*Phone rings* | |
Izumi | Huh, it’s from Sakyo-san. Hello? |
Sakyo | “It’s me. Where are you right now?” |
Izumi | I’m at the supermarket. I had to go grocery shopping. |
Sakyo | “Thought so. It’s snowing outside, right. I thought you might be having trouble getting home.” |
“I can pick you up on my way back.” | |
Izumi | Really!? Please! |
Sakyo | “Got it. It’s the usual supermarket, right? I’ll call you again when I get there, so just wait a bit.” |
Izumi | Thank you! |
(Thank goodness… I’ll get home safely.) | |
Sakyo | Sorry for making you wait. The streets were busier than I expected. |
Izumi | It’s no problem at all! Thank you, Sakyo-san. |
The snow seemed to be getting worse, so you really helped me out. | |
Sakyo | No need to thank me. I was on my way back anyway. |
Work was just ending; it was just a matter of good timing. | |
Izumi | (That’s what he’s saying, but he really helped me out there. I want to repay him somehow… Ah.) |
Um, Sakyo-san, can we stop by the train station over there really quickly? I’ll be back soon! | |
Sakyo | Haah? I’m not your taxi. |
Izumi | I-I’m sorry. There’s something I want to buy…. |
Sakyo | You forgot to buy something? |
Izumi | Yes. But it’ll only take a moment! |
Sakyo | Fine, make it quick. Here we are. |
Izumi | Thank you! Please wait just a moment! |
Izumi | Sorry for making you wait! |
Sakyo | Did you get what you needed? |
Izumi | Yes. I wanted to give this to you, Sakyo-san. |
Sakyo | Huh? What is this? |
Izumi | I just bought it. Sakyo-san, it’s a present for you! |
Sakyo | ...Why’d you go buy me a present all of a sudden? |
If you’re trying to get me to give the next show a bigger budget, I won’t accept this. | |
Izumi | That’s not it! |
It’s because you’re always looking after me--like how you came to pick me up today. You helped us out during the Christmas fan meeting, too. | |
I wanted to express my gratitude to you for helping me out every day. | |
Sakyo | ...It’s nothing special. You don’t need to worry about that sort of thing. |
This is… a scarf, huh. | |
CHOICE 1: Actors need to take care of their health, after all. [+]

|
CHOICE 2: I thought it would suit you, Sakyo-san. [+]
|
|
Izumi | Fufu, I’m glad you like it. |
Sakyo | …. |
...Wait here for a bit. | |
Izumi | Eh, Sakyo-san!? ...He’s gone. |
Sakyo | --Sorry for making you wait. |
Izumi | No, it’s fine. But what happened...? |
Sakyo | ...Here you go. |
Izumi | Eh. I-is this for me…? |
Sakyo | Yeah. |
Izumi | (I wonder what it is…?) |
...Wow, what a beautiful rose…! The fact that it’s just a single rose makes it feel more meaningful. | |
Sakyo | ...Do you like it? |
Izumi | Yes! But why? |
Sakyo | I don’t like being indebted to people. I just need to return favors as soon as possible. |
Izumi | I made you go out of your way again. I’m sorry... |
Sakyo | You don’t need to apologize. I did this because I wanted to. |
Izumi | Why did you get me a rose? |
Sakyo | Because stuff that lasts will eventually get in the way. |
But flowers--once they wilt, you can just toss them. Makes it easy. | |
Izumi | ...I may have to let go of this flower one day. |
But I’ll never forget that I received this rose from you, Sakyo-san, and I’ll take care of it till the moment it wilts. | |
Sakyo | ...That so. |
Izumi | Thank you, Sakyo-san. I’ll keep it in my room and treasure it. |
Sakyo | Yeah… I’ll treasure this scarf, too. |
