Backstage Stories
IzumiWhere could Kazunari-kun be…
(...Oh! There he is!)
Kazunari-kun——
Kazunari!!
——...
Izumi——
KazunariYes, understood… Yes, I'm in the middle of that now. If anything comes up, please feel free to contact me again.
That'll be all. Thank you.
… Soooorry, Director-chan!! My call's finally done, go ahead!!
IzumiNo, no, I should be the one to apologize…! I didn't think you'd be in the middle of an online meeting.
KazunariNah, it's on me for choosing this place to have my meeting!
They just called me on such short notice, and Mukkun was in our room so I couldn't just do it there… I'm sorry for not telling you sooner!
IzumiAre you still in the middle of working right now? I can come back later.
KazunariI told you it's all good now! Didn't you have something to talk to me about? What's up?
IzumiWell, the theme for your photoshoot prompt has finally been decided, so I thought I'd come to let you know.
KazunariFR!? That's the thing I've been dying to know!!
So? What kind of setting did they choose for me?
IzumiYou see…
KumonOh man, that air hockey match we just had got sooo heated up!
YukiIt sure became a spectacle within the arcade.
KazunariIt's been so long since I got to play air hockey~ Feels like I haven't been seeing a lot of those in arcades recently.
MukuNow that you mention it…! But getting to move our bodies like that was so fun.
KumonFor sure! We even got to see a whole bunch of tricks, too! Sumii-san's trick was especially amazing! Like, what a move!
MisumiTriangle Smash! Fwip!
KumonThat's the one!
TenmaHaving almost inhumane skills of reflex is one thing, but didn't he miss just about every shot he made?
MukuBut Misumi-san still looked so cool when he pulled it off.
MisumiI can teach you how to do it next time, Muku!
*PHONE BUZZES*
Kazunari—Oopsies, that's mine.
……
MukuIs it work?
KazunariAhh… Yeah, it is.
TenmaTake it; we'll be here.
Kazunari…'Kay.
*FOOTSTEPS WALKING AWAY*
YukiThe fate that comes with being a working adult, huh…
MisumiItaru calls those kinds of people "corporate slaves".
TenmaDon't just go picking up weird phrases like that.
KazunariSorry for leaving~
KumonKazu-san, is everything good? Maybe it'd be better if we head back home for now.
KazunariEverything's fine! They just wanted to talk to me about my payment date.
MukuYou've been really busy, Kazu-kun… You've got the magazine photoshoot coming up too, right?
YukiCan you keep up? With your schedule, I mean.
KazunariI'll be fine! It'll be fine!
MisumiWhat sort of photoshoot are you gonna do, Kazu?
KazunariYou mean my prompt?
MisumiYeah!
KazunariOh, it's gonna be like "reading together in a library" type of sitch.
YukiA prompt like that? For you? That's like night and day.
TenmaAre you sure that's supposed to be for you?
KazunariAw come on, guys…!!
MukuI think a character gap like that would make my heart skip a beat~
KumonThose kinds of situations happen in some of your manga too, don't they, Muku?
MisumiGood luck, Kazu~
KazunariThanks!! I'll make it so that every person who reads my column will have their hearts captured by yours truly✩
TenmaJust make sure not to overwork yourself.
Kazunari… I will.
KazunariHrmm…
(I just can't seem to come up with anything for this design proposal…)
(I know I told myself I won't be overworking, but because I'm getting paid to meet the deadline, I HAVE to hand over something to the client.)
(Maaaybe I bit off more than I can chew…)
(Oh. Speaking of, my photoshoot's location is going to be a library, isn't it?)
A library…
(Now that I think about it, it's been so long since I last visited one.)
(Maybe I'll even come up with some new ideas while taking in the atmosphere of the place.)
(——I guess I can head over and give it a shot.)
Kazunari(Now what book should I go with…)
(Hm? Over there… Is that——)
Muku……
Kazunari(It's Mukkun. Is he looking for something…?)
Muku…!!
Kazunari(Looks like he found the book he was searching for, by the looks of it!)
Kazunari(I made a surprising amount of progress with my work last time I dropped by.)
(It feels like I get into a much better mood by coming to the library after getting stuck on ideas.)
…Hm? That red hair. Isn't that Taicchan…?
Taichi……
Kazunari (It looks like he's desperately studying over there…)
(Oh right, didn't Ten-ten mention that they've got tests coming up in school?)
(Kumopi and Hyodole have been confiding with our dorm's tutors, too…)
(Taicchan looks like he's also working hard for his studies~)
Kazunari(Another day, another visit to the library. It does feel like I've been stopping by here a lot recently…)
(Wonder what I should do this time…)
(Oh, right! I got curious about this one novel that I stumbled upon while I was looking for research materials— they should still have the book here.)
(I think it was around on this shelf… Here it is)
(My workload's settled down for now too. I'll give it a read then!)
(... Huh? Is it me, or is it pretty crowded today? Can't seem to find a free seat anywhere…)
(Hmm… Guess I'll borrow it out and take it home.)
IzumiKazunari-kun?
KazunariDirector-chan!?
IzumiFunny bumping into you here.
KazunariSamsies. I've been visiting this library a lot these days; I was thinking of doing a little reading today, actually.
IzumiIs that so! Then why don't you take a seat beside me?
Kazunari——...
IzumiKazunari-kun…?
KazunariOh! Yeah, sure. Thanks!
IzumiHave you been coming to the library to study for your photoshoot?
KazunariWell, that's one of the reasons, but I've also been digging into materials related for work too.
And before I knew it, I was having lots of fun reading different books I never knew of before.
I've been doing a bit of people-watching, too, and I was surprised to see how everyone else was also visiting the library.
CHOICE 1: Libraries are so interesting, aren't they? [+]
CHOICE 2: All sorts of people come by here, don't they? [+]
KazunariAnd since the upcoming photoshoot is gonna be in a library too, I'm all stoked for it~!
KazunariOh, hype!! This place has sooooo much style!
IzumiThis place must be some sort of book cafe, right?
Staff AGood morning. Pleased to be working with you today.
IzumiThank you for having us as well.
KazunariPleased to work with you all!
Staff AFufu, this place looks amazing, doesn't it? They just finished working on this library building only recently.
KazunariSo it's really a library…
IzumiIs that so? It's such a chic place.
KazunariUhm, excuse me, but can I request to do a specific direction with my setting?
Staff AOf course. If you have an idea, we'll very much welcome it.
KazunariReally? In that case, what I want to happen is——
Izumi (Kazunari-kun is really acting like a working adult now… I wonder what kind of direction he wants, though?)
Staff AThat sounds excellent, actually. Let's give it a try. Oh, and feel free to select any book you'd like here.
KazunariThank you very much!
Izumi(But I suppose there's nothing for me to worry about. It's Kazunari-kun, after all. I'm excited to see how he'll do in this photoshoot.)
Kazunari….!!
——....Come. Over here.
*SHUTTER CLICKS*
Izumi(So he's doing a little bit of acting while having his photos taken… It does help with getting the mood across.)
Staff BGet a closer shot, please!
Cameraman….
KazunariShh… Keep your voice down— just enough for it to reach only my ears, alright?
Izumi(I see. This is what he wanted then.)
Staff BI think we got a really good one, don't you think?
Staff CCheckiiiing——
IzumiThat was amazing, Kazunari-kun. Did you come up with it yourself?
KazunariYou could say that~ … But really, I was just imitating you, Director-chan.
IzumiEh?
KazunariI doubt you were self-aware of it at the time—
But when we sat together and had to keep quiet at the library before, our faces just got naturally close whenever we'd talk, didn't they?
And I thought, "Wow! This is the kind of stuff that'll get people's hearts squeezing!"; so I thought I'd apply it for today's shoot.
IzumiR-Really now…
KazunariHehe. Well? Did I make your heart squeeze?
IzumiI meaaaan… Maybe. Only a bit.
KazunariAwh whaaaaat~!
Izumi(——But if Kazunari-kun was aiming to give that feeling with the same gesture, would that mean HE felt his heart squeeze before?)
