Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Tsumugi	Good morning.
	Huh? It’s a bouquet of roses. Why is it here...?
Homare	I'm home.
Tsumugi	Ah, welcome back.
	Umm...There’s a bouquet of roses here but, do you know whose it belong to, Homare-san?
Homare	Hm, these roses are actually delivered by Takao. I just bought a vase for these.
Tsumugi	I see. Both the roses and the vase are very beautiful.
Homare	Indeed, indeed they are!
	Actually, this is a gift from my grandmother. Since the roses grown in the garden bloomed beautifully, she wanted to share some of them to us.
Tsumugi	So that's the reason.
Homare	However, even when I decorated the hallways and the lounge with many roses, there is still a surplus of them. Now, I don’t know what to do with them.
Tsumugi	If it’s ok with you, I can replant after cutting them and see if it blooms again?
	It may seem a bit difficult in terms of time, but we received this many roses so...
Homare	Well, that makes me happy! If they do bloom, it’s the miracle of the roses!
	Ha! It flashed!!
	The miracle roses, circling in circle, twinkleー.
	Hm, this might become a good poem. Before this great idea cease to disappear from my mind, I will return to my writing.
Tsumugi	Right, do your best!
Taichi	Huh? There are roses here too!
	The hallways and the entrance were decorated with roses, I wonder if there’s something happening today...?
	Oh, one rose fell on the floor.
	.....
	No one's around, right? Okay...
	Adding the rose... And do a pose!
Tsumugi	Fuh, finally done cutting the roses. Time to take a breakー.
	...Taichi-kun?
Taichi	WAHH!! N-nothing! This rose fell on the floor, so uh...!
Tsumugi	Fufu, you were cool.
Taichi	Uuuu, doing it secretly made me embarassed...
	Alright! If it comes to this, I’ll gather everyone and hold a Making Pose with Rose tournament~!

Taichi	...So, I’d like to ask the two of you to make a signature pose using your whole body!
Tasuku	...Hey, I’ve never heard any of that making pose thing.
Tenma	I was wondering what you called me here for, but what the heck!
Taichi	I’ll let Tsumugi-san judge the two of you, and at the end, I’ll combine the best part of your poses and make my own signature pose!
Tasuku	I don't get it.
Tenma	What are you doing this for...?
Tsumugi	Now then, we’ll start with Tenma-kun’s example.
Tenma	You’re just gonna ignore my question?!
Taichi	Ten-chan, do your best~!
Tenma	Haa... Can't be helped then.
	Like this?
Taichi	Oohhh! A pose that doesn’t lose against the gorgeousness of the roses...! As expected from the popular actor!
Tasuku	Well, that looks pretty great.
Tsumugi	Tenma-kun and the roses, they look amazing together!
Tenma	Hmph, that was nothing.
Tsumugi	Well, Tasuku’s next. Show us your example too.
Tasuku	Huh? Just Sumeragi alone is enough. I don’t really need to participateー.
Tsumugi	What are you saying, you’ve been here all this time. Obviously you’re gonna participate too.
Taichi	I really wanna see Tasuku-san’s signature pose too!
Tasuku	...Jeez.
	Like this?
Tenma	As expected from an ex-GODza actor, its dignity really shows.
Taichi	There it isー!! I wanna do this kind of thing too!!
Tsumugi	The prince-like vibes, right?
Taichi	All right, I can’t lose either...!
	Tsumugi-san, I’m gonna show you the power-up version of me that’s different from before!
Tsumugi	Fufu, I'm looking forward to it.
Taichi	Putting the rose like this... Ta-da, my signature pose!!
	How’s it look?!
Tenma	Did I really look that conceited...?
Tasuku	Before I knew it, Nanao can already do that kind of expression huh...
Tsumugi	Wow! You look really cool, Taichi-kun!
Homare	Tsumugi-kun, how’s the progress on your cutting rosesー.
	Oh? What are you all doing here?
Tsumugi	We were doing Befitting Rose competition.
Tasuku	Since when did we have that as the name?
Tenma	It’s supposed to be Making Pose with Rose show-off.
Homare	Oohh, that sounds fun! May I participate in this as well?
Tsumugi	Of course! Please do so, to embody Taichi-kun’s ideal!
Taichi	I want to get reference from Homare-san’s signature pose too!
Homare	That is fine, absolutely!
	I’ve thought a lot of signature poses from doing the Hero Show a long time ago!
Tasuku	Oh yeah, at the time, Sumeragi played the role of Red, and I played Black.
Tenma	Arisu-san had Silver’s role, right?
Homare	Now, come and take a look.
	This, is my signature pose that I have cultivated through experience! Boom!!
	How is it, Red and Black! And also Taichi-kun! Yoh! Hoh! Hoi!
Tsumugi	Amazing, he's doing consecutive poses...
Tenma	The momentum’s amazing but... how are we supposed to judge?
Taichi	Wahh, I don’t know what to reference from this anymore...!
Tasuku	.....
	How naive, Silver! It's more like this!
Tenma	Tasuku-san got riled up after being provoked by Arisu-san?!
Taichi	Tasuku-san~, please come back to us~!
Tsumugi	Ahaha...
