Backstage Stories
TenmaPull? Mu....beshi[1]....? Hmm...
Yuki.....
TenmaWhat now?
YukiNothing.
I'm surprised you can read books other than scripts.
TenmaCan't you see I'm reading right now? Stop disturbing me.
What the hell is a court noble...? Hmm...
YukiHow did you even passed university with that level?
TenmaShut up !
(I borrowed "The Chronicle of Yoshitsune"[2] from Tsuzuru-san to help me with role making but reading it is more difficult than I expected. )
(There's too many words I don't understand.)
Hm?
ItaruGJ.
YukiIt's rare for you to come here.
TenmaWhat brought you here?

ItaruI heard you're looking for reference material for your role making so I stopped by to show you this. What do you think?
TenmaA game?
ItaruThe game's motif is about Genpei War. I already played it with Tsuzuru but it seems like you're busy---
TenmaI'll play it.
ItaruWeren't you reading a book just now?
TenmaNo, it's fine.
YukiPfft--
TenmaWhat now !!?
YukiNothing, really.
ItaruHere--
TenmaYour room is awful as usual.
ChikageLooks like we have a rare visitor here.
ItaruWe're having a special class today.
ChikageWas it something you didn't understand in your class?
TenmaThat's not it.
ChikageWhy games, though?
ItaruThis one is for role making.
ChikageI thought so.
TenmaThe game looks more like a movie.
ItaruThe manufacturer is famous for creating spectacular movies. Oh, this is my favorite character.
TenmaSo it's Benkei.
ChikageOh, it's Gojo Ohashi.[3]
ItaruYoshitsune after all is portrayed as a young man in robe playing a flute.
TenmaA flute...
ItaruBy the way, The flute’s name is 'Usuzumi no Fue'[4]. It's a super famous item in Yoshitsune's possession.
TenmaHeh...
ItaruAre you going to choose Yoshitsune?
TenmaWell, of course Yoshitsune--- Hey! Is he going to fight with a flute? !
ChikageYou must be kidding.
TenmaOi isn't this a mere musical instrument !?
ItaruFor starters, your main weapon is 'Usuzumi no Fue' by default.
TenmaDoes it work like a magic wand?
ItaruWhen you play the flute, it'll buff your allies and debuff your enemies. If you hit your enemies with it, it's gonna give them physical damage.
TenmaI just have to hit my opponents with this ?!!
ItaruWell, it's quite popular. Also, the game's mission is to hunt a certain monster.
ChikageBesides, the flute is surprisingly strong.
ItaruIt's long range and light, definitely the best flute out there.
TenmaIsn't this portrayal too out of place...?
(Flute. huh...)
( Other than his military commander persona, it's also good to learn about Kurou's music-loving side too. )
ManagerI’ll just have to put this in this box, then this one...
TenmaPerfect timing, manager.
ManagerOh, Do you need something?
TenmaI need some props for role making. Do you happen to have a flute prop?
ManagerI think I have one... A while ago, I~ ah it's here.
Is this alright with you?
TenmaIt's perfect. Thanks !

CitronWe don't have spaces left to hang it out.
IzumiThis place is still free.
MukuYou can also dry it here.
Tenma....
MisumiHuh? Tenma, what's that?
MukuA flute?
IzumiWhere are you going to use it?
TenmaI borrowed it from the manager.
Yoshitsune played a flute so I was wondering if I could try it as part of role making.
CitronCertainly, Yoshitsune is always portrayed as a man with carps[5].
IzumiIt's flute.
Tenma....
Izumi( ..Looks like he can pull it off.)
*airy flute sound*
Tenma!?
CitronThe flute made a funny sound.
MisumiHoot~
TenmaTch...This is difficult.
MukuDon’t mind. It's just your first time playing it.
IzumiManager can play any type of instruments. We can ask him to teach you.
TenmaNo need.. I managed to make a sound come out. I'll try it one more time.
*airy flute sound*
MisumiHoot ~
CitronThe sound didn’t changed.
TenmaYou don't have to mimic me !
Izumi(... P-playing flute looks really difficult somehow..)
CitronOh! What a strong wind!
MukuAhh ! The laundry is flying all over the place !
CitronI'll chase it.
IzumiHere too--!
TenmaOof--!
Woah ! W-what the hell is this !?
IzumiC-calm down, Tenma-kun. It's just a laundry !
( Eh? Huh? Just now... when the shawl is on Tenma-kun)
Tenma-kun. Just now, you resembled Yoshitsune in Gojo Ohashi!
TenmaReally?
MukuIndeed!
MisumiIt's Yoshitsune~.
IzumiTry playing the flute while you're at it--.
Tenma---
*clear flute sound*
IzumiYou made a beautiful sound ~
MukuYou're amazing, Tenma-kun!
Misumiclap clap clap~
TenmaJust now, I felt that I've woken Yoshitsune inside me !
CitronI've caught all the laundry !
IzumiThanks, Citron-kun.
CitronBut we're missing one. Oh, it was here.
Tenma?
Were you looking for this shawl?
CitronIt's really important to me. I'm glad you found it.
TenmaCan I borrow this for a while? It seems like I can use this for my role making.
CitronHmm.. It's not mine so I need to ask for permission first.
IzumiIt's not yours?
CitronI borrowed it from a madame.
MukuM-madame?
IzumiCome to think of it, the shawl doesn't look like the ones that Citron-kun owns.
CitronIt was super cold in the shopping district so a madame lent it to me during our slapstick meeting[6].
MisumiMadame and slapstick meeting sounds super fun~.
IzumiYou mean, gossip meeting?
CitronThat's it!
MukuCitron-san has a lot of friends as usual.
CitronThat's why, I'll get madame's permission!
TenmaN-no... It's gonna be troublesome so It's fine.
CitronIf you say so.
Tenma(If I can hold on to the feelings I felt that time, I'm sure..)

  1. Tenma's used the word "む。。。べし" since he's reading "The Chronicle of Yoshitsune".. I just assumed he's misreading Musashibo Benkei's name .
  2. 義経記" (Gikieki) or "The Chronicle of Yoshitsune” is a Japanese war-tale about the legends of Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his followers.
  3. Gojo Ohashi is a bridge in Kyoto. The bridge is best-known as the site of Minamoto no Yoshitsune's encounter with Musashibo Benkei.
  4. "薄墨の笛" ( Usuzumi no fue) literally translated as 'thin-ink flute' is a famous flute owned by Yoshitsune as it is tied with his first encounter with Musashibo Benkei. The flute is currently located at Teifune-ji Temple in Shizuoka Prefecture.
  5. Citron used the word " フナ" (funa) or crucian carp which sounds very close to Japanese word for flute or "笛" (fue).
  6. Citron used the word "ドタバタ" (dotabata) which means slapstick. Director corrected his word to "井戸端会" (iwabata kaigi), a word to describe gossip meetings where people who lives in the same area gather around to share small talks and gossips.
