Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Taichi	Tasuku-san, this time you will be playing the role of a Hunter on this Fairy Tale Residence contest right?
Tasuku	Yeah, it’s the hunter from Little Red Riding Hood.
Kazunari	I’m Little Red Riding Hood!
	Let’s do our best together, Tax!
Tasuku	Yeah.
Taichi	Tasuku-san seems to fit the role of a Hunter very well!
	Anyway, are you going to do anything for your role study?
Tasuku	About that… I heard about the plot summary from Sakisaka, but the Hunter only appeared at the end for a little bit.
	Even if I delve into it a bit more, there’s not much I can do for the role study.
Kazunari	I think that’s different, Tax!
Taichi	The Hunter is a very important character! At the end, he’s the hero that saved Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother you know!?
Tasuku	Hero?
Kazunari	That’s right! If the Hunter didn’t realize the strange occurrences and gone to help, the two of them would be in a very difficult situation you know!
Taichi	It’s a very important role!
	You better do some role study for him!
Tasuku	…Why are you guys the one getting so excited over this.
	But, if that’s the case, I’ll think of something.
	A role study for a Hunter huh…
Taichi	Yep~
Kazunari	If you’re talking about his normal lifestyle, you can’t really hunt around here so…
	Hmm.
Omi	I’m home.
Taichi	Ah, Omi-kun, welcome home!
Tasuku	What’s with that large amount of flyers?
Omi	There were a lot of people wearing wolf mascots distributing them on my way back, I would be bothered if I didn’t take any—
	But I ended up receiving quite a bit.
Kazunari	Omimi, you’re so nice!
Taichi	…Ah!
	I thought of a good idea!
Omi	?
Taichi	Tasuku-san, Omi-kun, sorry for the wait~!
Omi	This is…
Tasuku	… A wolf mascot?
Taichi	Yep! I got this mascot costume that Omi-kun wore before from the storage room!
	The Hunter from Little Red Riding Hood is a role that protects her from a Wolf, I thought you would be able to do your role study if a Wolf is present!
Kazunari	So Omimi will wear this and Tax will take the role as the Hunter, you might be able to understand the Hunter’s feeling more after doing some etude!
	Right, Taicchan!
Taichi	Yep!
Kazunari	Of course, it won’t be only the two of you. Taichi and I will be playing villagers, in a setting where you need to help us from being cornered by the Wolf!
Tasuku	What kind of setting is that.
Omi	I see, that sounds good.
	I don’t mind helping out if you’re fine with me.
Tasuku	Those're just the things that you guys want to do right…
Kazunari	Well, well, why don’t we just try it out first, Tax!
	Role study is also important right!
Tasuku	Sigh… I guess there’s no harm in trying.
Taichi	If that’s the case, let’s gather in the courtyard immediately~!
Kazunari	Go go!

Izumi	(My work is more or less done for the time being, I guess I should take a little break…)
Wolf Mascot	…
Izumi	!?
	(A mascot? What…?)
Tasuku	As I thought, is there a need to actually put on the mascot costume?
Izumi	What are you guys doing?
Omi	Ah, Director, good work.
Izumi	That voice, Omi-kun?
	What are you doing wearing that mascot costume?
Kazunari	We are going to do role study with Tax right now!
Taichi	The Wolf Omi-kun will be doing etude with Tasuku-san’s role as a Hunter!
Kazunari	Director-chan too, let’s do the role of the villagers together!
Taichi	It’s going to be more fun with more people!
	Please!
Izumi	I have no confidence for an etude though…
	But if it’s for Tasuku-san’s role study, I’ll help.
Taichi	Then, Director-sensei will join too, etude start!
Omi	“I saw three delicious looking food. Well well, who shall I start with growl…”
Kazunari	“Oh no! We’re going to get eaten by the Wolf!”
Taichi	“I’m scared!”
Omi	“Then, I’ll start from you.”
Izumi	Eh! Wha, me!?
Taichi	“Damn Wolf, let go of Director-sensei! Take that!”
Kazunari	Taicchan, nice punch!
Omi	“Hoo, not bad at all…
	But it’s not enough. I’ll eat you first!”
Taichi	“Wah! It’s not effective at all!”
Omi	“Growl!!!”
Kazunari	“It’s no use, we’re no match for him!”
Omi	“I’m going to savor you all! Growl…!”
Izumi	“Ky, kyaaa, someone help me~!”
Tasuku	“Stop right there!”
Kazunari	“Th, that is…!”
Omi	“Ho, another one asking to be eaten huh. Growl…”
Taichi	“It’s Mr Hunter! Please help us!”
Tasuku	“Now that I’m here, I won’t let you do as you please!”
Omi	“For a mere human, you dare to be my opponent?”
Kazunari	“It’s a one on one fight between the Hunter and the Wolf!
	Mr. Hunter, do your best!”
Tasuku	“—Ha!”
Omi	“…Not bad at all.”
Taichi	E, eh?
	Don’t you think Tasuku-san is fighting seriously?
Kazunari	You’re right, I have a feeling that Omimi’s just adjusting with the flow…
Tasuku	“…Guh!”
Omi	Oops.
Tasuku	…Fushimi.
Omi	Yes?
Tasuku	This is a role study.
	Come at me seriously.
Omi	Eh?
	No, but…
Tasuku	“A Hunter will never go back on his words.
	Let’s go! Hyaa!”
Omi	If Tasuku-san said so…
	“Guh!”
Tasuku	“Ugh!”
Taichi	The Wolf is strengthening his lock! He’s going for it!
Kazunari	That’s bad! The Hunter’s in a pinch!
Tasuku	“Ugh…”
Izumi	He’s pushed to a corner….!
Taichi	If it stays this way, he’s going to lose~!
	Everyone, let’s cheer for him!
Kazunari	Mr. Hunter, don’t lose~!
Izumi	Do, do your best!
Omi	–Ah.
Kazunari	Ah! The Wolf’s leg got tangled!
Tasuku	“—Now!”
Taichi	“He beats the Wolf!”
Kazunari	“One, two, three!
	It’s the Hunter’s win!”
Tasuku	“…You’re giving up huh.
	Learn from this experience and stop doing bad things.”
Omi	“Da, damn it…. Growl.”
Taichi	The Hunter who was able to use that small bit of chance was so cool!
Kazunari	You did it! You beat the Wolf!
Tasuku	..Yeah.
Taichi	With this, the role study is a success!
Izumi	No, rather than a role study etude, it was more like a pro wrestling competition just now wasn’t it!?
