Yuki Rurikawa/WONDER RUSH

Role Study【Koro】

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Tenma	Alright, let’s take a quick breather.
Kumon	Okay! I’m gonna give him a snack during break.
Kazunari	Same here~!
Muku	Fufu, the dog raising game Wancadia is a big hit with Summer troupe.
Misumi	The doggies are super adorable and it’s fun, right~!
Yuki	It’s supposed to be for role study, but I kind of feel like we’re getting sidetracked.
Kazunari	But you can get to know a dog’s feelings and observe their behaviour, so I think it's great reference for preparing for our roles!
Kumon	Hey, hey. Wanna meet up at the park after this?
Muku	The park function lets you get together with your friends and play with the dogs everyone brought with them, right?
Tenma	We can after rehearsal.
Kazunari	Sounds good! I think I’ll bring some toys that all the pupsters can play with together.
Misumi	My golden retriever picked up a triangle frisbee earlier!
Kazunari	Wait, for real!? Isn’t that a ridiculously rare item!?
Yuki	…I’ll pass.
Kumon	Eh~, how come?
Muku	Do you have plans or something?
Yuki	Sorta.
Tenma	Well, it’s just a game.
	You don’t have to force yourself to come.
Kumon	Join us next time, Yuki!
Yuki	…Sure.
	…
	(I’m also playing Wancadia, but…)
Pomeranian	…Grrr.
Yuki	…*Sigh*.
	This kind of rebellious puppy might bite the other guys’ dogs.
	(Itaru told us that in Wancadia, dogs who don't get along with each other will get into fights.)
	(That’s why it’d be a pain to bring a dog who doesn't take well to people or other dogs to the park and start something up.)
	(It’d be better to reset and select a different dog, but…)
	(…As a person, that won’t work out after all.)
	…*Sigh*.
	I look stupid worrying so much over a damn game.
Tenma	Oi, your eyes will go bad, you know?
Yuki	What? You were awake?
Tenma	That’s because you keep sighing.
	*lights flick on*
	Wancadia, huh?
Yuki	…What of it?
Tenma	Are you having trouble with the strategy or training?
	I can teach you.
Yuki	Get that smug face away.
	You’ll just rehash what the Elite Swindler said.
Tenma	Ugh… I can’t deny that.
Yuki	…How do you get a dog to like you?
Tenma	Ahh… I see. That’s what’s up.
	The dogs also have personalities, you know?
	I mean, Nyancadia was the same way in that the pet takes after its owner. But apparently, each dog has its own personality too.
Yuki	Each have their own personality…
Tenma	If you do something that the dog likes, then wouldn’t you get it to trust you a little bit more?
Yuki	…I see. Fine, I’ll give it a try.
Tenma	Yeah.
Kumon	Hey, hey, Yuki! We’re planning to meet up at the park again today. Can you come this time?
Yuki	Sure, that’s fine.
Kumon	Really!? Hooray!
Kazunari	We’ve never seen Yukki’s pupster before.
	I can’t wait!
Misumi	I wonder what Yuki’s doggy is like~.
Muku	He’s a Pomeranian, right?
	I can’t wait to play together.
Tenma	Alright, then all of us will join up tonight.
Misumi	To the park!
Kumon	Everyone’s here! …Uh, hold on!?
Muku	Yuki-kun’s puppy…
Kazunari	Yooo! Isn’t he hella stylish!?
Misumi	Wahh, he’s wearing a cute outfit and a sparking collar~!
Yuki	He didn’t like me at all. But when I asked Itaru for some matching dog clothes and put them on, he got attached to me right away.
Pomeranian	Arf arf! Yap yap!
Kumon	That’s great~!
	Both his clothes and collar look super good on him!
Kazunari	Ikr! I expect nothing less from Yukki’s boy!
Misumi	He’s fluffy, really stylish, and such a cutie pie~!
Yuki	I guess so.
Tenma	Hm, what a doting parent.
Yuki	Ha? No, I’m not.
Pomeranian	Arrrf! Grr~ grrr! Yap!
Shiba inu	! W-woof!?
Kazunari	Huh, Yukki's Pom-chan is barking at Tenten's Shiba-cchi!
Tenma	Hah!?
	OI! Why is he only barking at my dog!
Pomeranian	Arf arf arf!
Yuki	Ahaha. That’s my boy.
