Tsumugi Tsukioka/Feelings Pouring From the Hisage
From A3! Wiki
VS Dark Empress Doll
Backstage Stories| Banri | As expected, the coffee at this shop's aroma and taste are both great. |
| Tsumugi | Fufu, that’s true. |
| Banri | Ah, right. |
| I have something I want to ask Tsumugi-san. | |
| Tsumugi | Is it about university? |
| Banri | Nope, there’s somethin’ I don’t understand in this game. |
| Wait a sec as I log in. | |
| …Here. What’s this drawing depicted here? | |
| Tsumugi | This is a peach blossom. By the way, its flower language is “charming” and… |
| Also something like “invincibility”. | |
| Banri | I see. |
| So then here is… oh, cleared. | |
| Thanks. It was necessary to solve the game’s event’s mystery. | |
| Tsumugi | Hm, what kind of game is it? |
| Banri | A puzzle solving game that combined quizzes and puzzles. |
| You try to clear the problem that the opponent brings up. | |
| It’ll be Girl’s Day soon, so the enemy boss that comes out is a Hina doll[1]. Look here. | |
| Dark Empress Doll | “Fufufu, you should become my servant!” |
| Tsumugi | Ehh… |
| Banri | Well, let’s get going then. |
| Wallet… uh? | |
| What the hell is this? | |
| Tsumugi | An Empress Doll[2] mascot? |
| Banri | It’s cause recently I went back home, see. At that time, my sis jokingly put it in. Geez… |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha, is that so. |
| I don’t have any siblings, so I’m envious of such things. | |
| Banri | Because she doesn’t need it anyways, I was forced to take it. It’s not even cute. |
| Tsumugi | Really? I think it’s cute though… |
| Banri | Seriously? |
| Then I’ll give it to Tsumugi-san. | |
| Tsumugi | Eh, it’s ok? |
| Banri | It’s also weird giving it to a guy, but you've said before you weren't involved with Girl’s Day and stuff like that, right? |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha, yeah I did say that. |
| It’s certainly a bit fresh. | |
| Then, I’ll take it. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Banri | Yup. |
| Tsumugi | I’m home. |
| Tasuku | Ahh, welcome back. |
| Tsumugi | Hmmm, I wonder where a good place to put this is… |
| Tasuku | ? What are you talking about? |
| Tsumugi | From Banri-kun, I received an Empress doll mascot. |
| Tasuku | An Empress doll… |
| You’re not a girl and you don’t decorate though. | |
| Tsumugi | We live under the same roof as Director, |
| So speaking of mascots we can’t just disregard it as useless. | |
| Tasuku | Well… That’s true I guess. |
| Tsumugi | Alright, I’ll place it here. |
| …Fufu, it sure is cute. |
| Tsumugi | Eugh… |
| The theatre? At what point did I… | |
| Empress doll | … |
| Tsumugi | !? |
| Th-that surprised me. | |
| Why is the Empress doll at a place like this—. | |
| Dark Empress doll | Fufu… fufufufu… |
| You shall grovel before me! | |
| Go, peach blossom spirits! | |
| Tsumugi | Uwah!? |
| ??? | —. |
| Tsumugi | Ehh? |
| (Someone.. was protecting me?) | |
| Torment doll | … |
| Tsumugi | Torment doll[3]!? |
| Torment doll | Leave this thing’s seal to me. |
| Tsumugi | Eh? |
| Dark Empress doll | Foolish. You say you are going to defy me? |
| I shall teach you a lesson! | |
| Torment doll | HAA! |
| *clash* | |
| Dark Empress doll | HOW INSOLENT! |
| Torment doll | TAAA! |
| *clash* | |
| Tsumugi | (S-somehow this became kind of amazing…) |
| Dark Empress doll | D-damn you…! |
| If it’s going to be like this, I will take you along with me…! | |
| Tsumugi | Take him!? |
| Torment doll | Don’t be concerned about me and run away. |
| As for you, you still have things to do, right? | |
| Tsumugi | Th-things to do…? |
| Torment doll | Stand on the stage… |
| Tsumugi | TORMENT DOLLLL—!! |
| —! | |
| Tasuku | What’s wrong? |
| Tsumugi | It, it was a dream… |
| Tasuku | Dream? |
| Tsumugi | At the theatre, I came under attack from the Dark Empress doll… |
| Then there the Torment doll appeared and saved me. | |
| However, the Dark Empress doll, she said if it was going to be like that then she would self-destruct… | |
| Together with the Torment doll… | |
| Tasuku | …Huh? |
| Tsumugi | The Torment doll… |
| Tasuku | …You’re tired, hurry up and sleep. |
| Tsumugi | Hey, Tasuku. That guy… The Torment doll, |
| He’ll definitely come back home, right? | |
| Tasuku | No, if he’s able to return here it’d be troublesome. |
| Tsumugi | Even so, why did that kind of dream… |
| …Perhaps—. | |
| Banri | Hey heey. |
| Tsumugi | … |
| Banri | Tsumugi-san? What’s the matter? |
| Tsumugi | This. |
| It’s the Empress doll mascot you gave me yesterday but… | |
| Banri | Ahhh, haha. |
| As expected, you didn’t need it, huh. | |
| Tsumugi | No. |
| It’s not that… | |
| Banri-kun, this doll… it’s probably best to go get this exorcised. | |
| Banri | …Ha? |

Notes
- ↑ The type of dolls used in the Girl’s Day festival (ひな祭り) in Japan
- ↑ From my research on the internet, お雛さま (ohinasama) typically refers to the entire set of Hina dolls, but I did find a source that referred to that particular doll as the ‘empress’ in the doll set, so for simplicity's sake I decided to go with Empress doll here (please lmk if that’s inaccurate though)
- ↑ He's called "Infinity doll" in Japanese but I decided to use the official English name here
