Episode 23: For Now, Let’s Have Beer
Previous Main Story Next
IzumiWhat will you have, Guy-san?
GuyI don’t know much about the alcohol in this country.
AzumaLet’s see, what should we get Guy.... This French wine is good.
HomareI recommend this cocktail. Its colors are artistic and beautiful.
TasukuI like this Japanese sake.
Hisoka...This sangria is good.
TsumugiI like this plum wine.
GuyWhat’s a unique drinking custom in this country?
TsumugiA unique drinking custom....
IzumiI guess we’ll go with that?
TsumugiAgreed.
TasukuLet’s start with draft beer.
IzumiI guess we’ll start with beer.
TsumugiFor now, let’s have beer.
GuyFor now, let’s have beer....
AzumaSeven draft beers, please.
WaitressUnderstood.
IzumiAll right, cheers!
TasukuCheers.
AzumaCheers.
Hisoka...gulp, gulp.
IzumiPhew~, beer tastes great after acting.
Guy...I see. So this is “for now, let’s have beer.”
TsumugiI don’t know how this became custom, but when we go out to drink, often everyone starts off with a beer.
AzumaIt might be a national trait—we like to get in step with one another.
GuyFascinating.
HomareI’m not too familiar with this custom, though.
Hisoka...You have no sense of cooperation, Alice.
HomareYou’re the last person I want to hear that from, Hisoka-kun!
Guy...Etude battles are difficult.
TasukuYou really just have to get used to them.
After lots of practice you’ll be able to stay calm and respond to other people’s lines; you’ll also have a greater range of responses.
HomareNobody is good from the start.
GuySo that’s how it is....
IzumiLet’s create more opportunities to practice our etudes so we can get used to them.
GuyYes.
AzumaAll right, that’s enough serious talk. We’re going to drink to our heart’s content today, right?
IzumiYou’re right!
TsumugiIt’s a little delayed, but this can sort of be like Guy-san’s welcoming party.
IzumiYes; let’s say welcome again, Guy-san! Please take care of us.
GuyThe same goes for me—please take care.
HomareWell then, we need to make this a “let’s get to know Guy-san” meeting.
IzumiThen let’s start with—a Guy-san investigation Q&A corner!
GuyInterrogation?
Did I do something bad?
IzumiInvestigation. It’s where everyone asks you a question, Guy-san!
GuyI didn’t know that sort of thing existed....
AzumaFirst: what’s your hobby?
GuyHobby... I don’t particularly have one. Citronia called me a workaholic-android.
Of course that’s what you expect from an android, though.
AzumaYou’re right. I can’t imagine an android enjoying his hobbies.
HomareThen what’s your skill? What are you good at?
GuyTurning off my power, maybe....
IzumiTurning off your power...!?
AzumaOh, the restart button that Citron-kun liked to push.
TasukuI’ve never heard of that kind of skill.
GuyI don’t know if I can still do it, but since I’m human, it counts as a skill, not a—.
Hisoka...Push.
Guy....
IzumiHe really stopped...!
HomareWhat are you doing, Hisoka-kun!
TasukuMikage, don’t push it so casually.
AzumaWill he really restart?
Hisoka...Push.
Guy—mechanism.
IzumiAmazing. He really picked up where he left off....
HomareThat is indeed a proper skill.
TsumugiNext is my turn. Do you have a favorite food?
GuySalted squid.
TasukuThat’s some refined taste.
TsumugiIt suits your appearance.
HomareAre there foods you dislike, then?
Guy...Green peas.
IzumiThat’s surprisingly childish...!
TasukuIt doesn’t suit your appearance.
Homare...But I’m so glad Guy-san managed to remember his past. I was so moved... Uu.
AzumaThere, there. Looks like you’re pretty drunk.
GuyHe really is a sentimental drunk....
Tsumugi...I went to watch one of the Fleur-nominated troupes the other day.
They were definitely skilled, but their performance was low-risk and not particularly extraordinary; I think they were too conscious of the award.
TasukuThe nominees this round weren’t very adventurous overall.
TsumugiI can see why they prefer that sort of style, but when they’re all like that, it’s a problem.
TasukuYou’re right... You don’t want to be too edgy, but when everything fits into the same mold, it just narrows the potential for theater as a whole.
GuyTakato and Tsukioka are talking about play theory....
Hisoka...One more of the same, please.
IzumiHisoka-san, that’s your third drink?
HisokaIt's good.
GuyMikage can really hold his drink...
AzumaIt’s just as I said, right.
GuyYes.
HomareUu, if you run into any troubles living as a human, feel free to speak to me at any time, Guy-san...!
AzumaNow now, don’t cry so much. Your favorite carrot salad is here, Homare.
HomareUu... an orange sunset, a burning tangent, before you know it, hop hop....
Guy....
IzumiI-is that poem about the carrot salad...?
AzumaFufu, Homare’s poems are a little different than usual when he’s drunk.
TsumugiThen what about this?
HomareUu... popping gold, trickling shine, for now, let’s have beer, frizz, frizz, frizzing....
TsumugiF-for now, let’s have beer....
TasukuYou really like that phrase more than I thought.
AzumaAmazing—you can turn any menu into a poem.
Hisoka...It’s like a party trick.
IzumiAhaha, true.
GuyThe chickpea salad is here.
Homare...The planet breaks out; the smell spreads through the air; piyo-piyo beans.... Piyo-piyo....
Guy—pfft.
IzumiGuy-san?
GuyFufufu....
AzumaLooks like that one hit the mark.
Hisoka...Did he break?
TasukuNo, he’s not a machine.
IzumiPhew, we drank a lot~.
TsumugiThanks to that, we managed to change our mindsets.
IzumiYes, you’re right.
AzumaSee? Isn’t drinking with everyone fun?
Guy...Yes, that was fun. I think I’m going to laugh every time I see chickpeas from now on.
TsumugiI’m glad.
TasukuIt’s a great way to change your mindset.
IzumiHaruto-san from GOD-za will probably challenge us to another etude battle if we run into him again.
TasukuHe can’t stand us, after all.
TsumugiWe’ll win for sure next time.
GuyNow that you mention it, than man named Reni....
Izumi?
GuyNo, it’s nothing. It must be my imagination.
Izumi(It’s already the first day of the performance.... Our practices have been going steadily, and Guy-san has nicely finished up his role—everyone has.)
(I’m sure we’ll be fine....)
Tsumugi...It’s finally the first day. Are you nervous?
Guy...I am nervous, but I feel like it’s more than that.
TsumugiI think you’re thrilled.
GuyThrilled?
TsumugiYou’re looking forward to it; you can’t wait.
GuyI see... Yes, you might be right.
ManagerWe’ll be starting as planned, everyone!
Guy....
Izumi(It’s time....)
