Backstage Stories
| Taichi | (I’m doing pretty well with my new skateboarding technique~. I’ll practise again next week...) |
| Banri | Oh, it's Taichi. |
| Taichi | Ban-chan and Chikage-san! Were you hanging out together? |
| Banri | Yeah, kinda. |
| Taichi | Don’t tell me... were you guys raiding escape games?! |
| Chikage | We didn’t mean to raid them though. |
| I heard that the game we previously played before was upgraded and the difficulty level increased, but... | |
| Banri | It was a total breeze~. |
| Chikage | I wanted it to be a bit more difficult. |
| Taichi | As expected from you guys...! |
| Moreover, Ban-chan’s gonna have jailbreak scenes at the next play! Wasn’t that something like role-making? | |
| Banri | ...Well, if you say so, I guess it was? |
| Chikage | Role-making... Then would you like to tag along with us next time? |
| Taichi | I'm really interested! But... |
| I can only see a future where I’m dragging you guys down~! | |
| Banri | Most likely. |
| Taichi | *sighs* |
| Tenma | ..... |
| Taichi | *sighs again* |
| Tenma | Hey! What's up with you? |
| Taichi | It’s just that we were suddenly told to submit reports by next week~ |
| *sighs* My tension meter goes down so much... | |
| Tenma | Is that so? My condolences. |
| Taichi | I never knew there’s gonna be so many reports to finish! Even though I have plays to do too! |
| Tenma | Well, do your best. |
| Taichi | Ten-chan, you're acting so indifferent! |
| Tenma | 'Cause it's someone else's problem. |
| Taichi | Geez~ |
| ...What’s that? Something’s posted on the bulletin board. | |
| Tenma | Hm? Was it there before? |
| Oh, it’s a flyer for the Escape Game Club. Our university sure has a lot of unique clubs. | |
| Taichi | It says here that they hold escape games regularly! This looks really interesting! |
| This game seems easier to enjoy than the full-scale games that Ban-chan and Chikage-san usually play. | |
| Alright, let’s enter this! Of course, Ten-chan will join too. | |
| Tenma | Huh?! I never said I’ll join it yet... More importantly, are your reports gonna be okay? |
| Taichi | Hmm~ It's gonna work out somehow! |
| I’m really looking forward to this escape game~! | |
| Tenma | *sighs* ...Where did all the low tension went to? |
| Taichi | Hmm, where’s the club room of the Escape Game...? |
| Tsuzuru | Why did I end up joining you guys... |
| Tenma | You got involved too, huh. |
| Taichi | Isn’t it good! It’s definitely more fun to do it together. |
| Oh, looks like the club room is there! | |
| *shifts to Escape Room Club* | |
| Taichi | Excuse me~! It’s the Nanao group who made the reservation! |
| Escape Game Club member | We were waiting for you! Welcome to our Escape Game. |
| The game is easy to play, so please enjoy it with everyone. | |
| Tenma | Okay. |
| Tsuzuru | We'll enjoy it. |
| Escape Game Club member | Please stand-by in this room for the time being. |
| Taichi | Got it! |
| Tenma | Stand-by, huh... There wasn’t any explanation, are we gonna be okay? |
| Monitor | "Welcome to our Escape Game." |
| Taichi | Woah! A video suddenly started playing on the monitor! |
| Monitor | "The door to this room has been locked. Solve the problem on this monitor and try to escape from the room." |
| Tsuzuru | I see. It’s pretty simple and easy to understand. |
| Taichi | Alright, I’ll definitely escape from this! |
| Monitor | "First, check the handcuffs on the wall." |
| Tsuzuru | Handcuffs? |
| Tenma | Is it this? Seems like only one side of it is connected to the wall. |
| Monitor | "And then, decide which one of your friends will be handcuffed." |
| Tenma | Be handcuffed...? |
| Tsuzuru | Are they even related to the game? |
| Taichi | We still gonna do it anyway. |
| Tenma | But who should be the one be handcuffed? |
| Taichi | Hmm... Then, Tsuzuru-kun! |
| Tsuzuru | Why me?! |
| Tenma | Please help us out, Tsuzuru-san. |
| Tsuzuru | Okay, okay. Geez... The game hasn’t even started, yet it’s such hectic. |
| Taichi | Then do it like this... |
| Okay, I handcuffed Tsuzuru-kun to the wall! | |
| Oh, new words are appearing on the monitor! The game is starting! | |
| Monitor | "Rescue your handcuffed friend and escape from the room together within the time limit!" |
| Tenma | It's getting interesting. |
| Taichi | Let’s all work together and do our best! |
| Tsuzuru | Alright, let's do this. |
| Taichi | Ugh… It’s so difficult! I don’t know~! |
| Tenma | Damn, the time limit is approaching too. |
| Taichi | The answer to the previous question is horse... It should’ve been completed with this... |
| Tsuzuru | No, wait... If you combine it with this keyword... |
| That’s it, isn’t the answer number two? | |
| Tenma | You're right! |
| Taichi | That means the key is in the bookshelf! |
| Uhh... Oh, it's this box! | |
| Tenma | Alright, let’s use the key in the box to unlock handcuffs and then escape— |
| Taichi | Wait, there’s an even smaller box inside! |
| It’s being wrapped around by a chain and has a dial-type padlock! | |
| Tsuzuru | There’s also a memo saying, "Solve this formula and unlock the padlock with the three-digit number you found." |
| Taichi | There's still a question?! |
| Tenma | Or rather, what's with this formula. |
| Tsuzuru | The difficulty level suddenly become higher. |
| Tenma | What are we going to do, there’s only one minute left. |
| Tsuzuru | I don’t feel like we can solve it in a minute... |
| Taichi | If it’s like this— I’ll just believe in my intuition and guess the numbers! |
| Taichi | Wow, that was interesting! Escape games are so fun~! |
| Tenma | I didn't think we could win the game. |
| Tsuzuru | Seriously though. |
| To think that Taichi unlocked it with the numbers he instinctively put in. | |
| Taichi | Hehe! I was so lucky! |
| Tenma | So, what numbers did you put in? |
| Taichi | 201! It’s Miguel’s prisoner number, the role which I’ll act in the upcoming play! |
| I never thought I could unlock it with that, though~ | |
| Tenma | ...Are you serious? |
| Tsuzuru | What a luck you have there, Taichi... |
