Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Yuki	…
Kazunari	Found ya, Yukki!
	What’re you drawing over here?
Yuki	Costume sketches. I kind of felt like switching up my mood so I left my room.
Kazunari	I feel you! When it comes to creative works, you can get more done just by changing your location, right?
	Say, I’ll give you something that’ll be a perfect change of pace for you.
Yuki	What is it?
Kazunari	Tah daaah!
	A polaroid camera!
	I found it when I was organizing my room earlier.
	I bought another one, so I’mma give this one to you!
Yuki	…I’m good.
	I have nothing to take pictures of even if I take it.
Kazunari	C’mon, don’t say that~!
	You have the rest of the summer to snap plenty of pics!
Yuki	Even if you say that, I don’t have any plans to go anywhere…
Kazunari	You don’t have plans now, but you might make some in the future, right?
	I’m sure that’ll come in handy then!
Yuki	…I got it.
	Thanks.
Tsuzuru	I’m handing these out. Please, take one.
	…Oh, what the? Yuki?
Yuki	Ahh, Tsuzuru.
	What are you doing here?
Tsuzuru	As you can see, I’m handing out hand fans for my part-time job.
	Here. Take one too, Yuki.
Yuki	I don’t need one since I have this.
	I don’t use hand fans.
Tsuzuru	A portable fan with bunny ears…
	Yeah. If you have that, then I guess you don’t need a hand fan, huh?
Yuki	This one cools you down pretty well.
	Wanna borrow it?
Tsuzuru	I appreciate the thought, but I can’t possibly use something so cute.
Yuki	Really?
	Bunny ears suit you more than anyone else though.
Tsuzuru	No, it’s cringe no matter how you think of it… anyways, it’s obvious it suits you more.
Yuki	Well, you’re not wrong.
	…Alright, will you use this simpler one then? Here.
Tsuzuru	You had two on you, huh…
	It’s hot today, so that honestly helps. Thanks.
Yuki	Don’t mention it.
	And I’ll take a hand fan too. I’ll feel bad if I don’t.
Tsuzuru	You could’ve just said that from the beginning. You’re not honest now, are you?
Yuki	…I’m going home.
Tsuzuru	Alright, alright!
	I’m sorry!
Yuki	I’m home.
Kazunari	Welcome back, Yukki!
Kumon	Hey, hey. Is there any place you’re dying to go, Yuki?
Yuki	A place I want to go… what’s this about?
Kazunari	We were talking about wanting to go somewhere as a troupe. But there’s too many places we have our eye on, so we can’t decide~.
Yuki	Ah, I see.
Kumon	By the way, is that a hand fan?
Yuki	Ah, this… Tsuzuru was handing them out for his job, so I had no choice but to take one.
Kazunari	Eh, Tsuzurun? Where!?
	Maybe I’ll swing by and grab one too~.
Yuki	No, you don’t have to go all the way there…
	…
	Hey, how about a yakatabune?
Kumon	Eh?
Kazunari	A yakatabune?
Yuki	Yeah. Now that I have a look, that just happens to be written on this fan. See?
	It sounds like it’d be refreshing and we can all go together, right?

Muku	Wow, what a wonderful yakatabune!
Yuki	Isn’t it?
	It’s even nicer that I thought.
Misumi	This feels so exciting~!
Tenma	Oi, don’t make too much noise.
Kumon	It’s fine, it’s fine!
	Ah, right, what are we gonna eat?
Kazunari	‘Course, we gotta have monjayaki here!
Employee	I apologize for the wait.
	Please be careful. The iron plate is hot.
Tenma	Alright, let’s start frying them.
	Can we put this all on the grill…?
Kumon	Hold it right there!
Tenma	Woahh!? What is it all of a sudden?
Kumon	Monjayaki can’t be made willy-nilly!
Yuki	Kumon… are you the king of monjayaki or something?
Kumon	Fufufu, I used to make monjayaki all the time at the corner candy shop.
	Leave it to me!
Muku	Fufu, Kyu-chan was always great at making monjayaki.
Yuki	Well, it helps if you’ll make them for us. Go ahead.
Kazunari	I’ll take a vid of Kumopi frying ‘em up!
Misumi	I can’t wait for the monjayaki Kumon makes~!
	*sizzle*
Yuki	Heh, he’s got skills.
Kumon	Like this, and this… alright, serve’s up!
Kazunari	You’re done already!? That was fast AF!
Tenma	They sure look tasty.
	Alright, one, two…
Summer troupe	Itadakimasu!
Muku	Blow, blow*… it tastes amazing~.
	As expected from Kyu-chan!
Kazunari	It’s legit the bomb!
	You’re a genius, Kumopi!
Misumi	Look, look!
	I made a triangle monjayaki!
Kazunari	You’re amazing too, Sumi!
Tenma	Geh… I can’t get it right.
Kumon	Tenma-san, you hold the spatula like this!
Yuki	…
	*click*
Tenma	Hm? A camera shutter…?
Muku	Did you take a picture, Yuki-kun?
Yuki	…I felt like I’d be able to get a good shot, that’s all.
Kazunari	Yukki, so you brought that camera with you!
Misumi	Is that Kazu’s camera?
Yuki	Originally, yeah.
	But he gave it to me the other day.
Muku	Polaroid cameras are fun because everyone gets to see the picture right away. I think it’s perfect for moments like this.
Kumon	Yep, yep!
	C’mon, Yuki. Take a whole lot more!
Yuki	Sure, you got it.
Muku	Thanks for the meal.
Misumi	That tasted yummy~!
Kazunari	Say, guys. Since we’re here, why don’t we head outside?
	The sight from the deck is apparently also a must-see!
Kumon	Heck yeah! Let’s go!
	You’re right. The view is amazing!
Muku	The light nights look beautiful.
Tenma	It feels cool outside at this hour too.
Misumi	The breeze feels great~!
Yuki	…
	*click*
	…Yep, nice shot.
Muku	We really made a wonderful summer memory today!
Kumon	I’m happy that I fried the monjayaki well and we could all eat it together~!
Kazunari	The fun we had today was all thanks to Yukki who suggested the yakatabune ♪
Misumi	Thanks, Yuki~!
Yuki	Don’t thank me… it just happened to be written on the hand fan I got from Tsuzuru.
Tenma	You can just accept the compliment, you know?
Yuki	…Oh, shut it.
Misumi	We’re back~!
Izumi	Welcome home!
	How was the yakatabune?
Kumon	Super fun~!
Kazunari	I took a boat load of photos!
Muku	Yuki-kun took lots of photos with his polaroid camera too!
Izumi	Oh, really.
	Can I see them, Yuki-kun?
Yuki	Knock yourself out.
Izumi	Thanks. Wow, there’s so many!
	All of them are great shots.
CHOICE 1: You’ve got a good eye [+] Izumi I feel like you’ve got a good eye with the angles and the compositions you chose… YukI You think so? I just got the camera and I wasn’t used to it. So I didn’t feel like it went that well. Izumi No, that’s not true. They’re really pro! Yuki Thanks. I’ll take some pictures of you with this camera next time. Izumi Are you sure? Yuki I bet it would also be fun taking pictures of you. In any case, if I’m gonna take your photo, then I guess I’ll have you wear an outfit I coordinated. It’ll be an outfit that suits you to a tee. Izumi We’re going all out…! I can’t wait!
CHOICE 2: Your expressions are nice [+] Izumi Everyone’s making really nice expressions. Yuki That’s just Summer troupe as usual though. Izumi That’s what I mean. It’s surprisingly hard to capture “as usual” in a photo. I’m sure the reason everyone in Summer troupe had such natural expressions is because you were the one who took the photos. Yuki I suppose so. I mean, at this stage, no one would put on airs when we’re together. Izumi Fufu, right? Yuki …Why do you look so happy? Izumi I feel happy seeing everyone getting along.
	But I really do think this picture of everyone with the night view in the background looks absolutely lovely.
Yuki	You can tell?
	To tell you the truth, that picture is my favourite too.
Izumi	(Yuki-kun looks happy.
	I’m sure he was able to make a fun memory with everyone.)
Kazunari	Oh yeah! Why don’t we doodle together in the margins of the pics Yukki took?
Kumon	Sounds fun to me! I’m down~!
Misumi	I’ll do it too~!
Tenma	You guys really like that sort of stuff, huh?
Muku	B-but is it alright to doodle on the pictures that Yuki-kun took…?
Yuki	It’s fine.
	In exchange…
	If you’re going to draw stuff, then make sure it’s cute.
