Heart of Writing

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Banri	They said it was a full-cast meeting regardless of the Troupe you belong to.
Itaru	How long has it been since the last again?
Tsuzuru	How nostalgic.
Sakyo	……So everyone’s gathered. Let’s start then. Sakoda!
Sakoda	Hei!
Izumi	(Hm? That paper……)
Sakyo	A simple • thrifty • moderate lifestyle!
Juza	The MANKAI • dorm slogan……it’s been a long time since I saw it.
Tsumugi	So we had something like that huh.
Tsuzuru	I see, so everyone in the winter troupe’s seeing this for the very first time.
Sakyo	Recently, the level of discipline in the dormitory is becoming lax again. Carve the slogan into your hearts once again and live alongside it.
	Each troupe has a bath time of 20 minutes, switch off the lights when it isn’t in use, etc. etc……
Banri	The matter about the lights aside, no one went along with the allotted bath time, right?
Azuma	To have to bathe in such a rush’s a little, you know……I want to do my treatments properly too.
Itaru	I wish you’d overlook the late night animes.
Sakyo	It’s noisy over there. Are you listening properly!?
	That’s all. I’ll repeat it again but do keep in mind that living moderately is key.
Banri	Haa……it’s finally over.
Sakoda	I’ll go clean up the slogan then!
Tsuzuru	Even so, Sakoda-san’s writing is really beautiful.
Izumi	Yup, yup. It has to be the strokes.
Sakoda	Not at all, it isn’t anything much! I’ve just learnt it a lil’ back when I was still small!
	But, if this helps bro and everyone then it was the right decision to learn it after all――
Misumi	Triangle~! O―ni―gi―ri~!
Citron	I won’t lose either~! I will be mastering the Sankawa jump today!
Izumi	Hey, the both of you――!
Tsuzuru	Whoa―! Wait, wait, stop―!!
Sakoda	Gyaa―!
Izumi	Aaaaahh, the slogan broke into two……!
Tsuzuru	That’s why I told you to stop……!

Misumi	I’m sorry~……
Citron	I’m truly indebted……this Citron is prepared to serve……
Tsuzuru	If you’re saying that, you mean Seppuku don’t you! Honestly, were you really thinking about doing that?
Sakyo	You all have some pretty good nerve to be doing this even though the meeting has just ended not long ago……
Misumi	Awawawa~
Citron	Oh― Magistrate-sama, please~ forgive me~
Sakyo	Who’s the Magistrate!?
Izumi	The slogan got broken……
Sakoda	Please don’t worry bout’ it! It’ll be fine so long as I re-write it again!
Citron	I got it! I’ll take fiber for this slogan and re-write it!
Tsuzuru	It’s responsibility, not fiber!
Citron	That’s what I meant.
Tsuzuru	Is that really going to be okay……
Izumi	Ahaha……But, it might be good practice for his japanese too so isn’t it fine?
Sakyo	……I’ll say this once but I won’t forgo it if you do it half-heartedly.
Citron	Leave it to me. I’ll show you that I can write it perfectly!
Misumi	I can write too if it’s triangles~!
Sakyo	Rejected.
Saoda	……In other words, do not fear for this Sakoda Ken will teach you the knowledge of calligraphy!
Citron	I look forward to working with you. Master Sakoda―!
Tsuzuru	Even though I’m worried, I can’t help but feel uneasy about how things will turn out just by looking……
Sakoda	We’ll first start with the ink!
Citron	Oh―! This is the ink!? It looks like it’s just a rock though. But it seems ideal for a chopstick holder!
Tsuzuru	You can’t just leave chopsticks lying around, can you!
Sakoda	I see……! I’ll try placing chopsticks on it next time!
Tsuzuru	You don’t have to place them on it!
Citron	This doesn’t have a lid, you know? Where does the ink go?
Sakoda	This is what you do! Pour water onto the stone and rub for the ink……
Citron	Oh―! The ink came out! Sakoda, you’re really amazing!?
Sakoda	Nah, it isn’t that great or anything! But I’m really happy that I’m being praised! Tehehe.
Citron	I’ll try doing it too! You do it like this……
Tsuzuru	Whoa―!! You can’t go rubbing it at such a high speed! You aren’t grinding up a radish!
	Or rather, the ink’s flying everywhere! Uwah!
Sakoda	Guwah! T-The ink got onto my face―!
Tsuzuru	Haa, so we’ve finally managed to get to the part where we write……
Citron	Okay, I’ll write it now―! Miso • Konnyaku • celery lifestyle……
Tsuzuru	Of course that isn’t how it goes!
Sakoda	Ohh, but it looks good!
Tsuzuru	Sakoda-san too, please don’t just go accepting that as if it’s okay!
Citron	Oh―just as I was taught……there’s really strong feel that Konnyaku fits into this part here!
Sakoda	I get you! The feeling of wanting to make tofu coated with miso really outshines from it!
Citron	It’s perfect! Let’s go straight on at full-speed like this!
Sakoda	Alright! Let’s do our best!
Tsuzuru	I know nothing……I saw nothing……
Citron	Sakyo―!
Sakoda	Bro―!
	Hm?
Banri	Ah? What, isn’t this a rather unusual group here.
Citron	We’ve re-written the slogan! It’s hatsusaku!
Muku	Hatsusaku?
Banri	You’re trying to say that it’s your hard work, your masterpiece, right?
Citron	That’s what I meant! Behold!
Sakyo	……!
Muku	Cheese • Cake • Yakiniku lifestyle……
Banri	That’s high in calories.
Muku	B-But it sounds delicious!
Sakoda	Take a look bro! At around this part, wings and the like sounds like it’ll be great, right!?
Citron	It’s thanks to Sakoda!
Sakoda	No, no, I didn’t do anything! It’s a work with Citron’s sense within~!
Banri	It seems like the both of you got really close to each other too.
Sakyo	Sakoda……
Sakoda	Hei!
Sakyo	……You go re-write and fix it.
