Sakyo Furuichi/Stranger
From A3! Wiki
The Self-Trapped Man
Backstage Stories
| Yuki | How do your shoulders and sleeves feel? |
| Sakyo | They seem fine. |
| Izumi | So Nine’s outfit is going to restrict his arm movements in some of the scenes. |
| Sakyo | Not being able to move my arms will really limit my movements. |
| It’ll take some time to get used to this. | |
| Yuki | Yeah, that sort of thing pretty much never happens in real life. |
| Sakyo | ...Hm, that’s an idea… |
| Didn’t think I’d have to rely on those again. | |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Sakyo | Sakoda! Bring them here. |
| Sakoda | Yessir, Aniki! |
| Izumi | Are those… the handcuffs that you used to chain Banri-kun and Juza-kun together during our last performance? |
| Sakyo | I don’t want my role to come off as unnatural because I’m not used to keeping my arms bound. |
| I’ll try keeping these on all day tomorrow. Experience is the best teacher. | |
| Izumi | Eeeh!? |
| Yuki | What? Are you serious? |
| Sakyo | Of course. I won’t hold back when it comes to theater. |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san’s eyes look really serious…) |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san, good morning. |
| Taichi | Good morning, Sakyo-nii—!?!? |
| Tsuzuru | F-Furuichi-san!? Wh-what’s with those handcuffs….!? |
| Sakyo | Don’t mind me. I’m just preparing for my role. |
| Homare | Well this is fascinating! Hm, I’m inspired! |
| Azuma | Huh… Sakyo-kun, those are nice. |
| Tsuzuru | No, what do you mean, nice!? And why are you all inspired, Arisugawa-san!? |
| Izumi | The outfit for his next role limits his arm movements, so he didn’t want to act unnatural on stage… |
| So he’s going to spend the whole day in handcuffs to get used to having his arms confined. | |
| Azuma | I see. Sakyo-kun really is that serious and passionate about theater. |
| Tsuzuru | Th-that’s amazing, but would you normally go that far…. |
| Sakyo | If it’s for theater. |
| Taichi | Which means… now’s my chance to tickle Sakyo-nii all I want!? |
| Hehehe, watch out, Sakyo-nii~~~!!! | |
| Sakyo | …. |
| Taichi | Ugyaah! |
| Homare | Oh, a fantastic evasion--followed by a smooth trip-up. |
| Tsuzuru | T-Taichi, are you okay? You fell flat on your face. |
| Taichi | I-it hurts…. |
| Sakyo | Nanao, you’ve got some guts. You’d better watch out when the day’s over. |
| Taichi | Eeep!? |
| Izumi | (I’m already sensing trouble… Will we be okay…?) |
| Sakyo | …. |
| Izumi | …. |
| Sakyo | Oi, are you seriously going to follow me around all day like that? |
| Izumi | I-I’m sorry, but I really can’t help it…. |
| Sakyo | I’m not some brat…. |
| Sakoda | But Aniki, you don’t look unhappy! |
| Sakyo | Sakoda, if you keep yapping, I’m gonna give you more work. |
| Sakoda | S-sorry sir!! |
| But don’t worry, Director-neesan! I’ll be Aniki’s right arm--and his left arm, too! | |
| Ah, Aniki, I’ll open the door right now. | |
| Sakyo | No need. |
| *Door opens* | |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san sure is skilfull. Even with his arms chained together, he uses his foot to open the door, and he can carry objects without losing his balance.) |
| (I followed him because I was worried, but at this rate, he might not need me or Sakoda-san to do anything.) | |
| *Phone buzzes* | |
| Sakoda | Ah, that’s my phone. Excuse me for a sec. |
| Sakyo | Is it from the group? |
| Sakoda | Yes! H~m….? Uh, they want me to go shopping… |
| Sorry, I gotta head back to the office… Neesan! I’ll leave Aniki to you! | |
| Sakyo | You don’t need to ask anyone to take care of me. Just go. |
| Sakoda | Aniki, please be careful!! See you later—!! |
| Sakyo | Geez, when will he stop being so loud. |
| Izumi | (Hmm, Sakyo-san seems fine on his own, but… I should still keep an eye on him.) |
| Izumi | Here you go, Sakyo-san. Your dinner. |
| Sakyo | Yeah. Sorry for making you prepare dinner this late. |
| I know I was the one who started it, but I didn’t want them to watch me eat dinner handcuffed. | |
| Izumi | Ahaha, I understand. |
| Sakyo | …. |
| Izumi | (He’s really skilfull. He’s using his chopsticks while handcuffed…) |
| Sakyo | ...Oi. Don’t stare. It’s hard to eat. |
| Izumi | I-I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it… |
| Sakyo | I’ve gotten pretty used to this after today—. |
| ! | |
| Izumi | Ah, the tofu! |
| It fell on your clothes, right!? Wait, I’ll get a napkin right now—. | |
| Sakyo | Oi, it’s fine, I’ll clean it up myself! |
| Izumi | No, it’s faster for me to do it! It’s going to stain if you don’t wipe it quickly! |
| Sakyo | Stop! It’s fine, really! Director-san… woah! |
| Izumi | Woah!? |
| *Falling noises* | |
| Oww… | |
| Sakyo | ...Oi, move. |
| Izumi | Huh? Woah, s-sorry! |
| (I fell on top of Sakyo-san…!) | |
| I’ll move right now! | |
| *Door opens* | |
| Taichi | What happened? I thought I heard someone fall—. |
| Hu—whaaaaaaaa!? | |
| S-Sakyo-nii and Director-sensei are—!!! | |
| Sakyo | Tch, why does Nanao have a knack for bad timing…. |
| Azuma | What’s wrong? ...Oh my. |
| Homare | Oh, is this what they call a scandal? |
| Taichi | I can’t believe Sakyo-nii was born under the star of lucky accidents...! |
| Azuma | Fufu, you should think about time and place, you know? |
| Sakyo | You lot… I’m gonna get every single one of you later… |
