Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Tsuzuru	It's the supermarket.
	Should we drop by to buy ingredients for dinner?
Omi	Let's do that. How about you, Juza?
	Are you heading back first?
Juza	No, I'm goin’ with you.
	I'll help out carryin’ stuff.
Omi	Thanks, Juza.
???	Ah, Tsuzuru-niichan!
Tsuzuru	Suberu?
	What are you doing in a place like this?
Juza	....Who?
Omi	Ah, you've never met him before.
	He's Tsuzuru's little brother.
Suberu	Good afternoon. I'm Minagi Suberu.
Omi	Hello.
Juza	Yo.
	...You look just like Tsuzuru-san.
Tsuzuru	Really?
	Well, we're brothers after all.
Subaru	Uh, umm, Tsuzuru nii-chan.
	There's something I'd like to ask you.
Tsuzuru	Is it about the teddy bear you're holding?
Suberu	I had a fight with Noboru.
	This poor guy got its arm torn off. Noboru is really angry about it.
Tsuzuru	Noboru likes this guy after all.
Suberu	Tsuzuru nii-chan, can you repair it?
	I want to repair it and apologize properly to Noboru.
Tsuzuru	Got it. Let me see.
Suberu	Yes...
Tsuzuru	Hmm... It's badly torn off.
Omi	Tsuzuru, can I take a look?
Tsuzuru	Ah, sure.
Omi	....Hm, I can repair this.
	I also have a sewing kit. I'll repair it right away.
Tsuzuru	As expected of Fushimi-san.
Juza	Sorry for buttin' in....But people 'round have been givin' us looks for a while now.
Tsuzuru	So that's why I've been feeling someone's gaze... Well, three grown-up men holding a teddy bear is certainly an unusual sight.
Omi	Haha, should we move?
Tsuzuru	We're home.
Omi	We're home.
Juza	We're home.
Suberu	Sorry for intruding.
Izumi	Welcome home, everyone. Eh?
	Uhh.... Suberu-kun!
Suberu	Good afternoon. Thank you for taking care of my brother.
Izumi	(As expected of Tsuzuru-kun's younger brother.... They're all polite.)
	Tsuzuru-kun, what happened?
Tsuzuru	It looks like our twins had a fight.
	He came running to me holding this teddy bear.
	This poor guy's arm got torn off so he asked me to repair it.
	I thought it'd be better to repair it in the dorm so I bought Suberu with me.
Izumi	I see. So that's what happened.
Tsuzuru	Though, I'd feel bad having Fushimi-san to repair it.
	Can I be the one to repair it?
	It's my brother's doing. Plus, I want to repair it myself.
Suberu	Tsuzuru nii-chan.
Tsuzuru	But I'm not that confident with my sewing skills.
	I would appreciate it if you could guide me.
Omi	Of course.
	Then should we start now?
Tsuzuru	Yes, I'm counting on you.
Suberu	Thank you!
Omi	Stitch the arms together using the thread extending from the body as a mark.
Tsuzuru	Got it.
Juza	'Sounds complicated.
Tsuzuru	Right? It's amazing how Fushimi-san is also good at this kind of thing. Moreover, I was reminded once again how great Yuki is for making a huge amount of costumes.
Juza	Lemme support his arms and torso.
Tsuzuru	Thanks for helping.
	Still, how did it turn out like this?
	You're past the age of fighting over dolls, Suberu.
Suberu	It's not us.
	It's just that... Noboru came in at bad timing.
	Takeru and Yuzuru are the ones playing with it.
	They're getting along at first but they started fighting after a while....
Tsuzuru	So the teddy bear's arm got torn off as a result?
Subaru	Yeah, I told them to stop and took the teddy bear from them but Noboru suddenly arrived.
Omi	Ah, It's indeed bad timing.
Izumi	He must've misunderstood the situation after seeing Suberu-kun holding the teddy bear.
Suberu	Yes....
Tsuzuru	Shouldn't you just tell him right away?
Suberu	I'd like to but he wouldn't hear me out.
	He told me, "Suberu, you meanie." and ran back to the room.
Tsuzuru	...I see.
Suberu	Even today, he absolutely refused to listen.
	Tsuzuru nii-chan, what should I do if he still refuses to make up after this?
Tsuzuru	Nii-chan is going to repair this guy so stop making that face.
	You'll make up with Noboru after we finish repairing this.
Suberu	....Un.
Izumi	I hope you'll be able to make up.
Suberu	Yes! Thank you very much.

Tsuzuru	It's done!
	...It's all repaired--, right?
Suberu	You're amazing nii-chan!
CHOICE 1: It's completely repaired. [+] Izumi Glad it's completely repaired. Tsuzuru I finally finished repairing it but my shoulder is a little stiff. Izumi You were extremely focused on repairing it. Good job.
CHOICE 2: You said you're not confident with your sewing skills. [+] Izumi You said you're not confident with your sewing skills but the way you've repaired it is telling me otherwise... Tsuzuru It's all because Fushimi-san is a good teacher. Izumi Well that's one thing but I think it's also because Tsuzuru-kun did his best. Tsuzuru It's quite embarrassing to hear that but thanks for the compliment.
Tsuzuru	Look, Suberu.
	There are few rough edges but this is the best nii-chan can do.
Suberu	Yup, it's wonderful! Thank you!
Tsuzuru	Thanks for helping me too, Fushimi-san, Juza.
Omi	No, I only taught you a few things.
	You did your best.
Juza	Same here. Juz' held the torso 'n arms for you.
	Glad 's all repaired now.
Tsuzuru	I'll take Suberu back to my parent's house, then.
Izumi	Got it.
Juza	....Oi.
Subaru	Eh?
Juza	Here, take this sweet potato. It's popular these days...
	Share it with everyone when you get home.
Suberu	Are you sure? Thank you!
Tsuzuru	Juza, is it really okay with you....?
Juza	Yeah.
Tsuzuru	I see. Thanks.
	Let's go home, Suberu.
Suberu	Un. Thank you for letting me stay.
Izumi	Juza-kun, you're looking forward to eating that dessert, right? Is it really alright with you?
Juza	Yeah. 's a good way to patch things up.
Izumi	I see.
	(Juza-kun is an older brother too.
	Guess, I have nothing to worry about)
Tsuzuru	I'm home.
Suberu	I'm home.
Noboru	.....Welcome.
Suberu	Noboru...
Noboru	I knew you'd be coming home around this hour.
Suberu	I somehow knew you'd be here waiting for me too.
Tsuzuru	You guys really know each other's whereabouts regardless. It's kinda awesome...
Noboru	Suberu....I'm sorry.
Suberu	Eh...
Noboru	Takeru and Yuzuru told me what really happened. I knew Suberu would never rip something important to me....
Suberu	....Yeah, here.
Noboru	ーー！
	It's....!
Suberu	I'm sorry I couldn't protect it.
	I asked Tsuzuru nii-chan to fix it.
Tsuzuru	The guys from the theater company taught me how. There are few rough edges, though.
Noboru	It's okay...! Thanks to both of you.
Izumi	Is it really okay for us to join you?
Tsuzuru	Yes. I also wanted to thank you.
	After those two reconciled, they told me they wanted to eat parfait with everyone.
Omi	Haha, I'm relieved you were able to make up.
Suberu	Yup. Thanks to everyone, we made up now.
Noboru	We made up.
Izumi	...I see.
	Noboru-kun's teddy bear is repaired and you were able to make up as well.
Noboru	Hn? It's not mine though.
Izumi	Eh, is that so?
Tsuzuru	Ah, liking it doesn't necessarily mean it's yours, isn't it?
Juza	What do you mean?
Tsuzuru	The teddy bear itself has been at home since before I was born.
	There was a time when Noboru did fortune-telling using the tarot cards. He read that the teddy bear is possibly a lucky item for the Minagi household.
	Since then, he's always cherished and loved it.
Izumi	I get it now.
	So it's a lucky teddy bear.
Tsuzuru	Well, it might be.
Omi	I see. Even so, it's still amazing, he knows how to do fortune-telling using tarot cards.
Tsuzuru	He's always been obsessed with tarot cards.
Noboru	I can give fortune-telling to everyone.
Omi	Oh, is it alright?
Tsuzuru	No. It's surprisingly accurate but I wouldn't recommend it.
Izumi	Now that you mentioned it, I'm really curious...
Suberu	Let's all order something for now.
	Today's Tsuzuru nii-chan's treat so please eat as much as you like!
Tsuzuru	Although I'm the one who did the most work repairing the teddy bear... Well, I guess it's okay.
