A Yakuza(abbrv.)[1] Who Likes to Save Money
Backstage Stories
| Muku | ..... |
| Izumi | They're buried in books....Manga? |
| ( I wonder if Shoujo Manga Club is having their usual reading sessions ) | |
| Itaru | Not manga, they're light novels. Masterpiece selection of chosen ones getting reincarnated to another world. |
| Muku | I also have novels about a heroine's trip to another world. I brought a few recommendations. |
| Sakyo | ..... |
| Izumi | (... He's reading so enthusiastically) |
| Is it a reference for the next performance? | |
| Sakyo | Yeah, I am going to perform as Klaus, a person who came from another world and somehow ended up going to the present world. |
| Genres about another world can provide a solid reference. It's also ideal for ad-lib inputs. | |
| Itaru | Saying things like "There's a man inside the box! " after seeing a TV or "A lump of iron is moving! " after seeing a car. |
| Muku | Speaking of great reference, there's also a romance between a modern heroine and medieval knight who got attracted to each other despite coming from different worlds. |
| Sakyo | The show is about a former yankee and a knight after all. |
| Izumi | I'd like to read something as a reference too. Sakyo-san, do you have any recommendations? |
| Sakyo | Let's see.... How about this? The content is quite close to home. |
| "A Yakuza Who Likes to Save Money was Reincarnated to Another World Where His Younger Brother Became a Royalty." | |
| It is a story of a yakuza who got reincarnated in the royal medieval fantasy world and climbed to knighthood starting from zero. | |
| Itaru | Ah, "Ganayaku" [2]? Actually, the anime is airing this season. The novel has a lot of volumes published too. |
| Izumi | It's animated?! |
| Muku | Stories about reincarnation to another world are popular these days. |
| Itaru | Speaking of, they have an ongoing exhibition event. |
| I already stopped by on my home but they have original anime paintings and photo spots. It looks like a real thing. | |
| Izumi | An exhibition event too... |
| Itaru | Director-san, if by any chance you got hooked on to it, you might want to consider going there. |
| Izumi | ( Is it really that addicting... I wonder.) |
| I'll watch the anime in the meantime. | |
| Sakyo | I borrowed the DVD from Chigasaki. Let's watch it later. |
| Izumi | Sounds good. |
| Izumi | ( I ended up coming here…. ) |
| ( I didn’t expect I’d be hooked with it… It is packed with unexpected and exciting development about duty and humanity[3] and in such an unorthodox setting too) | |
| ….. The line is not advancing at all. | |
 |
|
| Sakyo | …. Geez. Why do I have to spend my precious day off in a place like this? |
| Izumi | But Sakyo-san, you got hooked on it too. You stayed up all night watching the anime, didn’t you? After that, you even read the original novel… |
| Sakyo | That’s because they omitted some scenes in the anime. It’s only natural. |
| Izumi | (He’s one huge fan ) |
| “Ganayaku” also added scenes in the animation. There’s this scene where the main character rushed to help his younger brother! | |
| Sakyo | Indeed. That’s why after reading the original story, I rewatched the anime from the 1st episode. |
| Izumi | ( He’s one die-hard fan…) |
| Sakyo | Speaking of a good scene, after his younger brother’s betrayal— |
| Izumi | Ah ! They haven’t reached that part in the anime yet. Don’t spoil me ! |
| Sakyo | You’re right. My bad. |
| Izumi | It’s fine… It’s just that keywords such as ‘betrayal’ is making me super curious. |
| Sakyo | Wanna hear about it? |
| Izumi | I’ll hold off! |
| Thanks to “Ganayaku”, we were able to study the pattern[4] and theories of getting reincarnated to another world. | |
| Sakyo | As for the setting, I would say it's classic. The author understands that duty and humanity are indispensable for a yakuza. |
| Izumi | –Ah, the line is moving. |
 |
|
| We finally reached the showpiece photo spot ! | |
| Sakyo | It’s the scene setting for the 1st season’s last battle. |
| Izumi | The famous scene where they revealed the true identity of the main character’s beloved younger brother. |
| Sakyo | I didn’t expect he’s also reincarnated from the present world. |
| Izumi | I was surprised! |
| Sakyo | The best part was when the main character preached a line about duty and humanity. |
| Izumi | It’s extremely passionate, isn’t it? |
| Staff | Next person. Come this way, please. |
| Izumi | Ah! They have the main character’s sword and shield ! |
| Staff | The staff will take a photo, please strike a pose. |
| Izumi | Ehh !? |
| ( I-it’s kinda embarrassing…) | |
| Sakyo-san, do it! | |
| Sakyo | Aah? |
| Izumi | It’s a great reference for your role making! |
| Sakyo | Don’t you just want to push things on to me? |
| Izumi | Well, well. |
| Sakyo | Can’t help it. |
| “I can never forgive a man who tramples on his own duty and humanity. I’ll defeat every single one of you!” | |
| Izumi | Ohh–! As expected of Sakyo-san, you’re unshakable! |
| Staff | It’s perfect ! |
| Izumi | Well then, let’s head to the next spot— |
| Sakyo | ….. You made me do it, do it too. |
| Izumi | Ehh?! |
| Staff | Since you’re already here. Please, come this way. |
| Izumi | Uh, ughh. |
| “I, I can never forgive a man w-who tramples on his own duty and humanity. I-I’ll d-defeat every single one of y-you!” | |
| Sakyo | ….. You’re a ham actor as usual. |
| Izumi | It’s not obvious in the photo so it’s all good! |
| Anime’s Voice Actor | "I can never forgive a man who tramples on his own duty and humanity. I'll defeat every single one of you!" |
| Kumon | So Cool ~! |
| Taichi | He's dashing ! |
| Izumi | (Everyone's already glued on screen before I knew it) |
| Itaru | Ah, welcome home. How's the exhibition event? |
| Kumon | Eh? Did you go to Ganayaku exhibition event? How nice~ ! |
| Taichi | I want to go too ! |
| Muku | Ganayaku's main character is super cool, isn't he? He looks like Sakyo-san ! |
| Sakyo | I don't think it'll be possible for me to do things as calmly as him if I ever get reincarnated to another world. |
| Taichi | But I'll be surprised too if I were to have a younger brother all of a sudden. |
| Itaru | If I ever get reincarnated, I'll make sure to utilize all my modern language and rely on those power. |
| Muku | Me, I want to become a knight ~. How I wish I could become a full-pledge knight ! |
| Kumon | I want to obtain a super cool sword and become a hero ! |
| Taichi | I want to use magic ! |
| Itaru | How about director-san? |
| Izumi | Eh? Me? |
| Hm... I wonder what is it that I want.... More than anything, I'm worried if I'd still be able to make curry.. | |
| Itaru | You're as resolute as ever. If that's the case, then the title should be " The Chairman of the Troupe Opened a Curry Shop in Another World!" |
| Sakyo | It's going to have a solid development.. |
| Taichi | It suits her well! |
| Muku | Ah, that's right, director-san. Please read this when you have time. |
| It's a story of an office lady who got reincarnated to another world and fell in love with a knight. It's heart fluttering ! | |
| Izumi | Thank you. I will read it. |
| (Heh~ the main character is an office lady. I wonder if the main character fights with a sword too, like in Ganayaku. ) | |
| ( If by any chance I got killed and reincarnated to another world, I don't think I'd be able to fight at all. I am sure to die soon if I don't rely on someone) | |
| Izumi | .... |
| (The novel Muku-kun recommended is interesting. It's not just about romance but how they profoundly depicted a different world view is extremely enticing too.) | |
| Fuaa... | |
| ( I want to read more but I have to get up early tomorrow. Time to go to sleep... ) | |
 |
|
| Izumi | ..... ? |
| ( This place.... Where am I ? This place seems familiar but I can't remember exactly....) | |
| Soldier A | You, over there ! Where did you come from? |
| Izumi | !! |
| Soldier B | You are wearing unfamiliar clothes. That's suspiciousーー。 |
| Soldier C | Could it be, she's a prisoner of war? |
| Soldier B | No, there's no way a prisoner of war would end in a place like this. |
| Soldier C | She's wearing weird clothes but it's not that bad. Is she a princess of some small country? |
| Soldier A | In any case, we can make good use of you. I'll take you with me. |
| Izumi | Eh? Wa-wait a minuteーー. |
| ( Looks like I got caught in a very bad situation !? ) | |
| Soldier B | Come along quietly ! |
| Izumi | ーー! |
| ??? | Ha ! |
| *Schwing* | |
| Soldier B | Guaaahh !! |
| Soldier A | --An enemy ! Surround him! |
| ??? | Ha ! |
| *Schwing* | |
| Soldier C | Ughーー! |
| Izumi | (Eh? Sakyo-san....No.. Could it be, Klaus ?) |
| Soldier | We'll retreat for now ! Shit ! |
| Klaus | ....Phew. |
 |
|
| Izumi | Ah, Um...Thank you very much. |
| Klaus | Are you okay? |
| Izumi | Yes. |
| Klaus | What are you doing here? Did they bring you here? |
| Izumi | No-- I'm already here before I noticed. I have no idea what happened too.... |
| Klaus | Are you lost? Either way, it is a bad time to get lost. It's not safe here. |
| I will protect you to the best of my ability. Don't leave my side. | |
| Izumi | ーーY-yes ! |
 |
|
| Izumi | ーー. |
| A d-dream ....? | |
| ( I wonder if it's because I was reading a novel about a different world...but Klaus appeared. It’s somehow mixed up with Autumn Troupe's performance) | |
| Sakyo | .....Ha ! |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san is early as usual. He already started training for the sword fight ) |
| Sakyo | Haa! |
| Izumi | ...... |
| (Oh, and he's exactly like the Klaus in my dream ) | |
| Sakyo | .... What now? You'll bore a hole through me. |
| Izumi | No...it's just that... |
| (I'm sure Sakyo-san will be able to fight back if he's stuck in that kind of situation unlike me. ) | |
| I was wondering if you would follow me if I ever go to another world. | |
| Sakyo | Aah ? |
| Izumi | ーーAh, sorry. It's nothing. |
| Sakyo | Go wash your face if you're still sleepy. |
| Izumi | Yes..... |
| Sakyo | .....Geez... Well, at that moment, there's no way I would let you go alone for sure. |

Notes
- ↑ The title does have(略) or abbreviation mark on it xD- I searched for possible explanations to the abbreviation. There are different theories about the etymology of 'yakuza' and one of them is 'useless', coming from the gameOicho-Kabu (A traditional Japanese card game). Yakuza means 8 (ya) 9 (ku) 3 (za). If you draw 8-9-3 with Oicho-Kabu, you'll get 0 points, and it's 'useless'.
- ↑ Ganayaku is the shortened title of the novel/anime Sakyo recommended.
- ↑ Izumi refers to compound kanji '義理人情' (Giri ninjō) meaning duty and humanity; or a sense of moral obligation and humane feelings.
- ↑ お約束’ (oyakusoku) it literally means ‘promise’--but in creative media, ‘oyakusoku’ refers to formula or ‘pattern’ of development that is repeated every time in different media.
