Tsumugi Tsukioka/Dressing Formally

The Origin! The Great Garden Leader

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Izumi	(There's someone crouching over there, it's probably...)
Tsumugi	...
Izumi	As I thought, it's Tsumugi-san.
Tsumugi	Good evening, Director.
	A woman walking alone at this hour, it's dangerous, you know.
Izumi	I was only thinking to buy something to drink for a bit. Tsumugi-san too, what are you looking at in such a dark place?
Tsumugi	The plants.
	There are a lot here. My heart is relaxed.
Izumi	Ah, you're right, there are various plants live in the inner courtyard. Talking about that, they sure have grown thicker.
	Tsumugi-san, do you like plants?
Tsumugi	Yeah. I know it's not a manly hobby.
	However, the children here, they don't seem to be quite healthy.
	Do you know who's in charge of taking care of them?
Izumi	I think it's manager...
Manager	Oh my oh my, is this a late night secret meeting?
	I'm witnessing a young couple's night adventure.
Izumi	Did you just crack a joke with a watering can in your hand?
Manager	I forgot to water them in the morning today.
	Thus, I took the trouble to come here in the middle of the night.
	Then, I'm going to plentifully-
Tsumugi	Ah
	Please wait, Manager!
Manager	Is something wrong?
Tsumugi	If you roughly sprinkle the water from above, you will surprise the flower!
	On top of that, it rained a little during the day so the soil is already moist.
	The grave rule of watering is "Plenty to Dry Soil".
Manager	Hm hm, I see.
Izumi	Tsumugi-san, you know quite well.
Tsumugi	Because I've been watering for 3 years.
	My grandmother taught me a long time ago.
Manager	That's great! You have a nice grandmother.
	Then is it fine if I leave this to Tsukinaga-kun?
Tsumugi	Eh... Is it okay for me to?
Manager	Of course.
	Tsukinaga-kun will do just fine.
Izumi	Manager... That happy face, is it saying "Lucky, I can relax"?
Manager	Of course not.
	The plants will be happy too to be watered by someone who loves them as much.
Izumi	...Tsukinaga-san, if it's too much trouble, you can just refuse-
Tsumugi	I'll do it!
	By all means, please let me do it!
Izumi	(Whoa, he's full of motivation)
Manager	I appreciate this! This is the birth of MANKAI Company's honorable leader!
Izumi	Leader... Don't tell me, Manager, are you pushing all the responsibilities of courtyard management to Tsumugi-san?
Manager	Ahaha, that's no way~
Izumi	I'm doubtful...
	But Tsumugi-san, thank you very much. I'll help out too whenever possible.
	Since we leave it all to you, it's okay to plant your favorite flowers or something.
Tsumugi	Is that okay?!
Izumi	(Ah, his eyes glow even brighter...)
Tsumugi	Alright, first will be gerberas and tulips.
	...
	Ah! I want to plant camellias too. After that, perhaps osmanthuses.
Izumi	Err... Please don't make this into a jungle, okay?
Tsumugi	No, if it's to make it greenier, herbs would be better.
	Bugleweed or erigeron are nice too.
	...Hmm.
Tsumugi	...Manager.
Manager	Yes?
Tsumugi	Will you pay for all the expenses?
Manager	Eh?
	Uh, that's a bit-
Izumi	In return for being free from watering, Manager will have to pay from his pocket money.
Tsumugi	Amazing...! Thank you very much! Once again, I'm really glad that I enter this troupe!
Manager	Ah... Shall we have a duty shift instead?
	I'll do my best in the special training of watering...
