Tenma Sumeragi/The Door to Summer

The Arrogant Lost Child

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Izumi	Is that Tenma-kun over there? He's pacing around, I wonder what's up with him.)
	Oh that's right, he was arguing with Yuki-kun just now. Perhaps they still haven't made up...
	Tenma-kun? Is something wrong?
Tenma	Uwa!
Tenma	Oh, it's just you. ...No, nothing in particular.
Izumi	If that so, okay then. Is that... juice in your hand?
Tenma	Ah... I lost to Rurikawa in rock-paper-scissors. Can't be helped, I went to buy for both of us.
Izumi	I see.
	(So they've made up already. That's a relief.)
	But if that's the case, isn't it better to go back quickly? Don't tell me, you didn't know where your room is.
Tenma	Haa?! You're wro-, t-that's impossible. I'm going back right now!
Izumi	Right. ...Are you really fine?
Tenma	Yeah, I'm going now! Bye!
Izumi	Okay, good night. --Wait, Tenma-kun, your room is in the opposite direction!
Tenma	...I made a mistake.
Izumi	(As I thought, he didn't know where his room is...)
	Go upstairs, turn left, and Tenma-kun's room is at the end of the corridor.
Tenma	I-I'm just not used to it yet. Good night!
Izumi	Okay, good night... Huh, wait! Not there!
Tenma	Y-your explanation is too hard to be understood!
	...
Izumi	...Tenma-kun, perhaps you lack sense of direction?
Tenma	No, that's not it! ...I-I remember the way, I'm just a little not good at it.
	Since I was a kid, someone always comes to pick me up. So I've never really gone out by myself...
Izumi	I see. That's why you remembered the way, but you're not used to it.
Tenma	Well, you can put it that way.
Yuki	So you're here!
Izumi	Ah, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	You're slow! Crappy actor!
Tenma	Which part of me is crappy!
Yuki	How are you not crappy! You can't even bring one single can of juice back!
Tenma	What did you say?! Then why didn't you come and pick it yourself?!
Yuki	You're the one who lost the rock-paper-scissors! Hurry up and go back to the room! Sigh... Why do I have to come and pick you up?
Tenma	It's not like I asked you to! In the first place, you-
Izumi	(...They're gone. So they've made up... I guess? ...As I thought, I'm maybe a little too worried.
