Backstage Stories

Part 1

Tenma	…There we go.
Sakuya	Ah, Tenma-kun.
	Are you tending to your bonsai?
Tenma	Yeah. I’m going to hold my own solo exhibit soon.
	I’m planning to display these guys.
Sakuya	A solo exhibit!?
	It’s amazing that you’re holding your own solo exhibit, Tenma-kun…!
Tenma	Ahh… hold on, it’s not what you’re thinking.
	Sorry, I misspoke.
	Come on, didn’t you hear about it from Director?
	The Summer troupe members are each gonna hold their own solo exhibit in a small space in the common room as a way to prepare for our roles.
Sakuya	Ah, those solo exhibits…!
	Say, would it be alright if I swung by for a peek too?
Tenma	Of course you can. I think the other guys are also putting lots of thought into theirs. You should go take a look if you’d like.
Sakuya	Sure! …Fufu.
Tenma	W-what?
Sakuya	It’s nothing. I just thought it’s so like Tenma-kun the Summer troupe leader to mention all your other members too.
Tenma	…Well, it looks like they’re putting lots of effort into preparing theirs, after all.
Sakuya	I wonder what’s going to be displayed at everyone’s solo exhibits.
	I’m so excited.
Tenma	Mhm, looking good.
Misumi	Tenma~. We’re here to see~!
Yuki	So you really did use bonsai?
Kazunari	Ooh! Tenten’s little bonslings kinda look more perky than usual!
Tenma	They livened up since they realized everyone’s gonna see them.
Yuki	Uh huh~.
Kumon	I see~.
Tenma	Hey, you guys aren’t interested at all!
Muku	T-that’s not true!
Tsumugi	Ah, Tenma-kun’s holding his exhibit.
Guy	It appears so.
Tenma	Tsumugi-san, Guy-san, you two came?
Guy	Yes. We heard from Sakuma.
Tsumugi	Sakuya-kun told us he’s coming to have a look later as well.
	He was looking forward to your bonsai, Tenma-kun.
Tenma	It sounds like Sakuya has come to understand the appeal of bonsai, huh?
Tsumugi	Tenma-kun’s bonsai really are cool, aren’t they?
Guy	You can tell right away that Sumeragi cherishes them.
	The bonsai looks very fresh and vivid.
Tsumugi	You’re right. Ah, this bonsai is also…
Guy	Indeed, it’s a sight to behold.
Kumon	Ha~, adults are on another level~…
Yuki	I think it’s only Winter troupe that understands the appeal of bonsai.
Tenma	Hmph. You guys are still kids.
