Tsumugi Tsukioka/Sunny Blanc

Role Study 【Fuyuno Suisen】

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Tsumugi	I’m home.
Azuma	Welcome back. What a beautiful flower you have there.
Tasuku	Did you go to the flower shop again today?
Tsumugi	I still have my subscription, after all.
Hisoka	That one where you can buy one flower a day, right?
Homare	Has the flower shop’s subscription piqued your interest as well, Hisoka-kun?
Hisoka	I’d be interested if there was a marshmallow subscription.
Tsumugi	Fufu, it would be great if there was a marshmallow subscription out there.
Guy	The flowers Tsukioka receives everyday are nice and bright.
Azuma	They’re pretty and cheer you up.
Tsumugi	I’m happy if you say so too.
	Anyways, this came to me at the flower shop earlier…
	But we create and receive bouquets in our upcoming show, don’t we?
	To prepare for our roles, how about we take requests from the other members and actually try making bouquets ourselves?
Homare	Hm, so you are going to something like a bouquet specialty store, so to say.
Tasuku	The role I play doesn’t make nor receive any bouquets…
	But, well, I guess that’s fine.
Guy	We must make them while considering our budget.
Tsumugi	Ah, that’s true. This role study might get pretty pricey depending on the case.
Azuma	Leave that to me.
Tsumugi	Eh, but…
Hisoka	If Azuma says so, then it’ll be fine.
Tsumugi	…Alright, we’ll count on you then.
Azuma	Fufu, no problem.
	*knock, knock*
Tsumugi	Come in.
	*door opens*
Itaru	Morn’.
Tsumugi	Good morning, Itaru-kun. What’s the matter?
Itaru	The thing is… sorry this is so sudden, but I’d like you to make a bouquet, Tsumugi.
Tsumugi	A bouquet…?
Itaru	I have to bring one for a client tonight, but I’ve been working so much overtime lately it totally slipped my mind.
	I doubt I’ll have time to go to a flower shop today either…
	So can I ask you to do me this favour?
Tsumugi	You’ve been busy these days, huh, Itaru-kun…
	I don’t have my tutoring job today. If you’re alright with me, then I’ll take care of it.
Itaru	For reals? I owe you my life…!
	Seriously, thanks.
Tsumugi	Fufu, you’re welcome.
Itaru	Btw, the recipient’s a guy. It’s for his retirement celebration.
Tsumugi	If it’s for a retirement celebration, then I’m thinking yellow, orange, and green for the colours.
Itaru	You have such a strong grasp on this stuff, huh?
Tsumugi	I just learned it naturally since I love flowers.
	By the way, is there a colour you’d like to include, Itaru-kun?
	Like a colour that the retiree evokes…
Itaru	Umm, blue?
Tsumugi	Blue, huh…
Itaru	Is that colour a bust?
Tsumugi	Ah, not at all! That’s not what I meant…
	I’ll give it a try.
Itaru	As long as you don’t force yourself.
	Err, crap. I gotta get going…
	It’s on the way, so I’ll drop by the dorm in the evening to pick up the bouquet.
Tsumugi	Alright, I’ll prepare it by then.
	(If it’s for a retirement, then I suppose positive flower language would be fitting.)
	(There’s not many blue flowers in the first place, so I have to go search as soon as possible.)
	(I’m glad I found find the perfect flowers for the occasion.)
	(I also purchased the wrapping paper and ribbon, so let’s make the bouquet right away.)
	(It’s a bit drab with only blue flowers, so I’ll add some brightly-coloured ones too…
	After aligning the lengths, bundle it into a bouquet shape and wrap it up… there.)
	(Decorate it with a ribbon and place it in a special bouquet bag…)
	Yay, finished!
	Here’s the bouquet you requested.
Itaru	Thanks. You seriously saved me.
	The bouquet’s beautiful. I’m sure he’ll absolutely love it.
Tsumugi	Fufu, I’m glad I could help.
Itaru	Ah, sorry. I’m in a rush, so I’ll thank you later.
Tsumugi	Sure, take care.
	(I hope he enjoys the bouquet.)
Itaru	I’m back.
Tsumugi	Ah, Itaru-kun. Welcome home.
Itaru	Tsumugi, I seriously owe you for today.
	He totally loved it. He was saying it was flashy, pretty, and he was impressed with the rare blue flowers.
Tsumugi	Really? That’s great.
Itaru	Ah, right. Here…
	I got some baked sweets from the client, so I’ll share my loot with you.
Tsumugi	Eh? You’re the one who received them, Itaru-kun.
	You don’t need to give me this many…!
Itaru	Nope, this isn’t even enough to cover how much you helped me.
	I’m gonna thank you properly with something else later. So just take this as a token of my appreciation for now.
Tsumugi	…Alright.
	I’ll take them gratefully then.
