Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	So, tomorrow's talk show will look like this.
Tsumugi	Understood.
Hisoka	....Got it.
Tasuku	The talk show is going to be about our debut performance. It brings back a lot of memories.
Tsumugi	Right? I'm really looking forward to it.
Izumi	(Seems like Tsumugi-san and Tasuku-san are excited for tomorrow's talk show too.)
Azuma	Ah, by the way, an acquaintance sent me something interesting.
Guy	That's....
Izumi	A tarot card ?
Tasuku	There's a picture of an angel.
Homare	Ohh ! Such a romantic card ~!
Azuma	Tomorrow is the screening for our debut performance, so I thought, this might be the perfect time to try this.
	Tsumugi, can you pull out one card?
Tsumugi	Me? Then... this one.
Hisoka	...There's "Michael" written on it.
Tsumugi	You're right. Ahaha, I'm happy.
Guy	You managed to pinpoint which card has Michael's picture right away.
Izumi	You're amazing, Tsumugi-san.
Azuma	Maybe it's a sign that Michael is going to watch over tomorrow's screening.
Tsumugi	Ooff....
	Waaa ... !?
Izumi	Tsumugi-san !?
Tsumugi	Oops, oops....
Hisoka	..... You stepped on it again.
Tasuku	Geez, that's dangerous.
Tsumugi	Ahaha, I'm sorry.... I thought I'm already used to wearing these wings but I haven't worn them for a while so I can't settle down.
	Still, I didn't fall down. Michael might've been protecting me.
Tasuku	You're just imagining it.
Hisoka	It's because you're doing your best right now.
Tsumugi	Ahaha, I wonder.
Izumi	Everyone, the talk show is about to start. I'm leaving everything to you.
Hisoka	Got it.
Tasuku	Let's go.
Tsumugi	Yup !
	This costume is really nice but I had a hard time moving around with angel's wings in the beginning.
Tasuku	Not only in the beginning. You're still struggling with your costume even now.
Hisoka	Tsumugi almost fell down when he stepped on his wings a while ago.
Tsumugi	Ahaha, you got me there.
	During the performance, is there anything that left an impression on both of you?
Hisoka	...... I got upset when Tasuku suddenly lifted me while I was sleeping.
Tasuku	It's because you're always sleeping everywhere. Even now, you are still doing it.
Hisoka	That's not what I'm talking about.
	It's really annoying when you lift me and then drop me on the same place again and again.
Tsumugi	I think I've seen that.
Tasuku	Ah---.....
Tsumugi	Since everyone already watched it a while ago, I think you'll get a gist of it.
	At the end of the story, there was a scene when Raphael lifted Michael up.
	Tasuku was practicing that scene by lifting Hisoka-kun while he was sleeping...Is that what you're talking about?
Tasuku	.....That might be it.
	Mikage is sleeping like a log here and there. I thought he might be a perfect practice partner.
Hisoka	You used me as a practice partner without my permission. I demand marshmallows for my service.
Tsumugi	Ahaha, I heard you murmuring, "Visualize it...He has wings."
Tasuku	You should've just gone out and practice with me if you heard that much.
Audience	Ahahahaha !

Izumi	Good work everyone !
Tsumugi	Thank you for your hard work, director. I'm glad to see everyone's smile.
Hisoka	Tasuku's story was good.
Tasuku	Don't suddenly share a story we didn't discuss about during the meeting.
Hisoka	I suddenly remembered it so I shared it. Don't forget my marshmallows.
Tasuku	Good grief..
Izumi	Well then, I will have to take a polaroid of our lead actor. Tsumugi-san, can I take the picture?
Tsumugi	It's for the customer's present, right?
Izumi	Yup ! I'm going to take it now.
Tasuku	Oh, pretty good, isn't it?
Hisoka	.... It is a nice photo.
Izumi	Yup, I think I was able to capture the gentleness in Michael's expression.
Tsumugi	Thank you very much.
	Fufu... Somehow it feels like Michael is really nice to me today.
Izumi	( This polaroid really gives off a pleasant feeling. I'm sure the customers will be happy too.)
	Hm? This angel tarot card... This is the one that Azuma-san has, isn't it?
	(I wonder if they forgot to keep it after playing.)
	Fuaa...
	( I'm getting sleepy... I should.... go to bed..)
???	---Izumi.
Izumi	....?
	( Tsumugi-san with angel's wings appeared before my eyes...)
	.....Michael.
Michael	You're sleeping in a place like this again.
Izumi	(Huh? I just called him Michael but he's not denying it? )
	(Well, It's Tsumugi-san, so maybe he just didn't mind )
	(...The thing is... My back feels heavy)
	Eh?! I got wings on my back...!
Michael	? You've always had wings on your back, right? Are you still sleeping?
Izumi	( No, no, I don't usually have wings though ....! )
Michael	Izumi, you're acting strange today.
	Look, Come over here.
Izumi	.......?
	(Oh... Is this the place where Michael is always watching the human world? )
	Michael, do you like the scenery from here?
Michael	Yes, I love it.
Izumi	(Michael .... is smiling happily.)
	( This person isn't Tsumugi-san but Michael, who fell in love with a woman in the human world)
Tsumugi	--tor. Director.
Izumi	..... !
Tsumugi	Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?
Izumi	Ah.....
	(Tears....? )
	Ah, n-no. That's not it.
	I'm sorry for letting you see something embarrassing.... The truth is, Michael appeared in my dream.
Tsumugi	Michael?
Izumi	Yes, I was in heaven in my dream. Micheal showed me the place where he usually watches over the human world.
	Michael is smiling happily saying how much he loves the scenery he's seeing from that place.
Tsumugi	So that was reason.
Izumi	I was happy seeing him smile like that but.....
	because I know what kind of future is waiting for him, I can't help but feel sad.
Tsumugi	I see.
CHOICE 1: “I'm sorry for surprising you. “ [+] Izumi I'm sorry for surprising you. Tsumugi No, please don't mind me. It's late but please use this handkerchief. Izumi Thank you very much. Tsumugi Have you calmed down? Izumi Yeah, I'm okay now. (Tsumugi-san's kindness and warmth is so reassuring...)
CHOICE 2: “It was a strange dream.” [+] Izumi It was a strange dream.. Tsumugi Heaven, Michael... I wonder if it's because of the screening today? Speaking of which, were you an angel in your dream? Izumi Ah, y-yes. I have wings on my back. Tsumugi I see....fufu, I also wanted to see your appearance as an angel. ....I'm sure you're a beautiful angel with pure white wings. Izumi (Hearing him say such thing is a little embarrassing )
Tsumugi	We indeed know what is going to be the outcome of Michael's love..
	There's also a possibility that the Michael you met will live a different life than we know.
	For me, no matter what kind of life Micheal choose to live,
	I think he'll still show a happy smile in the end...
Izumi	Indeed, I can imagine it.
Tsumugi	I am very happy and honored I had the opportunity to play as him.
Izumi	(Tsumugi-san, you really care about Michael, don't you? )
Tsumugi	....I want to meet Michael in my dream too...
Izumi	I'm sure he'll come to meet you someday.
Tsumugi	Fufu... yes.
