Time Capsule in the Courtyard/Summer

Backstage Stories
TenmaLet's wrap up today's practice here.
One last thing. As discussed during the leader's meeting yesterday, each troupe is gonna bury a time capsule.
KumonTime capsule?
MisumiSounds fun !
MukuIt's going to be a great memory!
YukiBut why so sudden?
IzumiIt's a proposal from Time Capsule Committee.
YukiWho on earth would come up with such a pesky idea?
KazunariMe! me! Summer Troupe's rep for Time Capsule Committee is none other than m~e !
YukiI knew it.
KazunariThe original plan is we're gonna dig out the time capsule after 10 years ! Each person can put one tokes in it!
KumonAfter 10 years...
MukuIsn't it romantic?
MisumiJust one? I want to fill it with triangles.
TenmaYou're guaranteed to do that so we set the limit to one memento per person !
MisumiWhat if I put lots of small triangles inside one big triangle?
TenmaTriangle-jammed triangle[1] is not allowed!
MisumiBoo.
MukuWhen are we going to bury it?
KazunariThere's no specific deadline yet.
TenmaIt's up to each group to decide when they want to bury their time capsules.
YukiHmm.. We don't have to hurry then.
MukuLet's think about it carefully.
KumonAhh, but what if other groups filled their time capsules ahead of us? We're gonna lose a good spot !
TenmaMakes sense.
MukuIf that's the case, we should hurry!
KazunariHow about let's set the deadline in 3 days?
KumonYup. yup. Also, we can set a punishment for the last person to bring their memento!
TenmaHah!?
KazunariIf so, I'm off the hook !
IzumiHave you decided on your memento?
KazunariOf course! I chose mine when I became part of Time Capsule Committee.
Ta-dah!
YukiWhat's that?
MukuFlash drive?
KazunariAll theater's flier designs and discarded data are packed in this.
KumonYou mean all the discarded data !?
YukiThat's a whole bunch of data.
TenmaWhy would you include the discarded data?
KazunariThe time when you flopped ‘cuz of swag of probs is also an important memory. I wish to summon up those memories in the future.
IzumiEven if it didn't work out, it's still a good memory.
KumonI'm sure it'll be fun to remember the times we shared together.
MukuIt makes me feel nostalgic.
KazunariEveryone, 'good luck on choosing your emo[2] tokes !
MukuYup! I'll choose a memento that's going to be memorable for me.
KumonMe too! I'll search for emo stuff! I won't lose to anyone!
TenmaE-emo what...? Hey, what the hell is emo ?
Izumi(Picked plum, salmon, kelp, meat roll, tuna mayo, and roe)
(I wanted to eat a lot but it looks I made too much food. Might as well share this with everyone.)
(When it comes to rice balls... I should definitely give him some...)
*door opening*
IzumiMisumi-kun? Are you here ?
MisumiYe~s!
IzumiI brought you some rice balls.
(It seems like there are more triangle stuff in his room than usual.)
MukuAh, director-san.
KumonThere's rice balls!
IzumiWhat everyone's doing?
MisumiWe are choosing mementos to put in the time capsule.
MukuWe took out Misumi-san's stored items and help him organize them.
MisumiCan I eat the rice ball already~?
IzumiOf course. Eat as much as you want.
MisumiYay~! Thanks for the food!
IzumiHow about you two? Have you decided on your memento?
KumonYup! This is mine.
IzumiBaseball ball?
KumonIt's a signature ball containing the signatures of Summer Troupe's six members!
If all six of us became super stars 10 years from now, the value of the ball will spike up, right? I have great expectations!
IzumiI see.
MukuI decided to put in my favorite prince picture book.
Ten years from now, I want to see if I've became the ideal prince that I wanted to be.
IzumiIt's wonderful that both of you have dreams for the future.
MisumiMe too!
IzumiHave you decided which triangle are you going to put in?
MisumiIt's not a triangle this time. This key!
MukuIt's the key to Hakaku-san's treasure chest!
KumonEveryone went on a treasure hunting during Summer Troupe's third performance, right?
MisumiYup~. It's an important treasure chest. I will place this Sankaku-kun prototype inside and lock it. I will hide it like grandpa did~!
I will put key inside the time capsule so everyone in the Summer Troupe can go on treasure hunting adventure 10 years from now!
KumonCool ! It sounds fun !
MukuI'm looking forward to go on treasure hunting adventure with everyone again.
IzumiIt's a great idea.
(Ten years from now, I'm sure everyone in the Summer Troupe will hunt for treasure as they do now.)
TenmaThis one is no good. This one is a bit emo but...
....
*grunts*
YukiAnnoying.
TenmaI'm not even that loud.
YukiAh really? It's the opposite though.
TenmaDon't say that!
YukiSuch a worrywart. You've been racking your brains since yesterday, right?
TenmaSpeaking of, have you decided on your memento?
YukiOf course. This pin cushion.
TenmaYou're using that pin cushion when you're making costumes, right?
YukiYeah but it's all tattered now. I already bought a new one so it's going to be fine.
This tattered pin cushion is a proof that I made so many costumes. Those are my memories.
TenmaHeh..That's kinda emo.
Hmpf, of course I have something as emo as that too.
*door opening*
IzumiIs Tenma-kun here?
KazunariTenten !
MisumiFound ya~ !
KumonListen ! Listen!
TenmaWhat's up with all of you !?
KazunariEveryone's done choosing their tokes!
YukiI've decided on mine too.
KumonThat means...
MisumiTenma is dead last ~!
Tenma! !
KazunariThe loser of our punishment game has been decided!
TenmaDamn it!
YukiVery well-deserved.
IzumiTenma-kun, You haven’t decided on your memento?
YukiThe hack has been putting out a lot of items since yesterday.
MukuLet me help you!
MisumiI'll help you choose a triangle memento too~!
TenmaDon't just assume that I'll choose a triangle!
MukuHow about a script?
TenmaI can't choose just one.
KumonHow about these sunglasses?
IzumiYou went to various places wearing those. It might be a good idea.
TenmaI still like it so I'm still wearing it.
KazunariMaybe you should put stuff that's screamin' Tenten all over?
IzumiIf it's Tenma-kun, then something orange?
YukiWhy not just choose orange as your memento?
TenmaThat's going to be messy !
MisumiThen, this bonsai?
TenmaIt'll die !
KazunariHow about this bonsai scissors?
TenmaThat's still usable.
But... Yeah... The scissor is rust-proof so it might be good idea.
I can put it inside the time capsule and see whether it will rust after 10 years.
YukiSo what happened to the emo stuff?
TenmaWell.. It's something like... Our bond won't rust either...Probably.
KazunariDefs emo ~
YukiGross.
MukuI think it's a great idea!
MisumiOur friendship will always be shiny~ !
KazunariLet's go and bury it asap!
TenmaAre we going to bury it now?
YukiYeah.
TenmaHuh? What's this scoop for?
YukiYour punishment.
Tenma.....Yeah, right.
KazunariWe'll leave the diggin' up to Tenten!
YukiGood luck.
TenmaDarn.. I'll just have to dig, right? I'll dig then!
IzumiAh, please take this. You might get hungry after moving your body a lot.
TenmaYosh. I'm ready.
IzumiAhaha. I accidentally made too much but it seems like it turned out well.
MukuWhere are we going to bury the time capsule?
MisumiLet's hurry ! Let's hurry!
KumonThe flower bed is definitely the best spot ~!
KazunariBut if we're going to dig up the flower bed, Tsumu Tsumu might get angry.
YukiWe can blame Tenma for it.
TenmaOi !!
IzumiAhaha.
(Yup, definitely... Their friendship won't rust away. Even after 10 years, it'll remain unchanged.)

Notes

  1. Tenma referenced the term "子持ちシシヤモ" (Komochi shishamo), or a pregnant willow leaf fish. The fish is caught and cook with roes still intact in its stomach.
  2. Kazunari initially used the slang 'エモい' (emoi) meaning something emotional or sentimental.
