Tasuku Takato/Die by the Sword
From A3! Wiki
Role Study【Miyamoto Musashi】
Backstage Stories| Izumi | Thank you for your hard work! |
| Tasuku | Yeah, good work. |
| Azuma | Fufu, Homare was the first today as well, right? |
| Homare | For some reason, I just let them out of my mouth. |
| Hisoka | Your brain and mouth are directly connected. |
| Tsumugi | We have to match ourselves to the next play's world and in order to make sure that foreign words don't come out during the improv performance— |
| We started this “English, foreign words prohibited game” but if we're careless, they immediately come out, right? | |
| Tasuku | Tsumugi, that was a foreign word. |
| Tsumugi | Ah! |
| Guy | As might be expected of the one who suggested it, Takato doesn't use foreign words during practice at all. |
| Tasuku | It serves my role-building too. As lead actor, I'm being careful not to ruin the appearance of the world. |
| Tsumugi | ...... |
| Tasuku, did you go do “that” this morning?[1] | |
| Tasuku | “That”? |
| ...Yeah, I ran as usual. | |
| Azuma | What did you do last night then? |
| Tasuku | Last night, I did muscle... exercise.[2] |
| Homare | Ooh...! |
| Hisoka | He dodged that well. |
| Izumi | That's Tasuku-san for you... |
| Guy | A splendid avoidance capability. |
| Omi | Here, I prepared something we can nibble on too. |
| Tsuzuru | Thank you. What do you want to drink, Azami? |
| Azami | A sports drink then. |
| Izumi | Oh, why are you all gathered? |
| Omi | There is a national soccer match today. Therefore, we wanted to watch it on the big screen in the lounge. |
| Azami | Tasuku-san is the organiser, but it seems like he had plans and hasn't been able to come home yet. |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, it's about to begin. |
| Omi | —Ooh, that pass just now was great. |
| Tsuzuru | Ah-! The goalpost! What a relief! |
| Azami | That was close... |
| Tsuzuru | Counter attack! |
| Azami | Yes, come on! |
| Izumi | (Everyone's completely engrossed. It looks fun.) |
| Tsuzuru | Yesterday's match was really amazing, wasn't it? |
| Azami | It was an extraordinary great match. |
| Azuma | Oh, what kind of match? |
| Tsuzuru | Soccer. There was a national team match yesterday. |
| Homare | That's right, Tsuzuru-kun and Azami-kun were part of the kemari club, right?[3] |
| Azami | Kemari club, you say... |
| Tasuku | Ah, Minagi and Izumida. Sorry about yesterday. |
| Even though I was the one who suggested it, I couldn't make it. | |
| Tsuzuru | No. Takato-san is the one who must have had a long day. |
| Azami | Tasuku-san, were you able to watch the match? |
| Tsuzuru | It was a very good match. |
| Tasuku | I had it recorded, just in case. I watched it once I'd returned home. |
| It was a really great match. I was worried about the flow after that ‘corner kick’ in the second half, but the ‘counter attack’ after that was great. | |
| Also, that ‘interception’ was commendable. Overall, compared to the match before that, the ‘defence’ became remarkably better— | |
| Homare | ...... *grinning* |
| Tasuku | —Ah. |
| Azuma | ...... |
| Homare | Well, the words Tasuku-kun just spoke... it appears they were all in English? |
| Azuma | Fufu. After all, when it comes to the things you like, you just become talkative. |
| Tasuku | Shit— |
| Tsuzuru | ? |
| Azami | What are you talking about...? |
Notes
- ↑ Tsumugi was trying to get Tasuku to use the loanword “running” he usually uses
- ↑ Tasuku usually says “kin tore” for muscle training, with “tore” being short for “training”, but he managed to avoid it lol.
- ↑ Homare was trying to avoid using the word “soccer”. To quote Wikipedia: “Kemari (蹴鞠) is an athletic game that was popular in Japan during the Heian period. It resembles a game of football (soccer) or hacky sack.”
