Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Mizuno	Yes, then I'll make preparations as such.
Izumi	Thank you very much.
Mizuno	Ah, there is something else I would like to ask.
Izumi	What is it?
Mizuno	I'll prepare meals for the rehearsals and performance, so what kind of food does everyone like?
	While it'll be mostly meat dishes, I'm sure everyone has their own preferences, so I plan to prepare a range of options.
Izumi	Thank you for taking that into consideration. They'll all be fine with thatーー.
	......Ah.
Mizuno	Is something the matter?
Izumi	Well......Depending on the situation, there may be someone who only eats marshmallows.
Mizuno	Marshmallows......?
Izumi	My apologies; I know I'm saying something quite outrageous......
Mizuno	Not at all. I understand. I'll prepare some delicious marshmallows as well.
Yuki	Then in the interim, I'll check the other members' costumes in the dressing room.
Kazunari	Gotcha~!
Muku	Okay!
Hisoka	Marshmallows...
Izumi	Hisoka-san, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka	Director?
Izumi	Come here for a moment.
Hisoka	?
Mizuno	Mikage-san, I've prepared a lunch box just for you.
Hisoka	Just for me......?
Izumi	Hehe, have a peek.
Hisoka	ーー! A marshmallow lunch box?
Izumi	Yeah. I requested it of Mizuno-san and he kindly prepared it for us.
Mizuno	I hope it suits your tastes......
Hisoka	*chewing*
	Delicious......They're like the marshmallows Azuma gives me.
Izumi	(If they resemble the marshmallows he gets from Azuma-san, doesn't that mean these marshmallows are high-class as well!? As expected of Mizuno-san......)
Mizuno	Was it to your liking?
Hisoka	Yeah.
Izumi	He's quite taken with it.
Mizuno	That's good.
Hisoka	Mizuno should join MANKAI Company's staff......
Izumi	Hisoka-san, that's a bit......
Hisoka	Then I'll take Mizuno to a marshmallow specialty store.
Izumi	How did you come to that conclusion!?
Hisoka	I'll show him my preferences.
Mizuno	Ahaha, I'm glad to hear that. Please do allow me to come with you.
Izuno	Mizuno-san, aren't you busy......
Mizuno	No; I too wish to learn more about everyone in the company.
Tsuzuru	(from afar) That lunch box was really tasty, huh~.
Mizuno	ーー!
	I'll take my leave here......!
Hisoka	What happened to Mizuno?
Izumi	......Perhaps it's because he heard Tsuzuru-kun's voice.
Hisoka	Tsuzuru?
Izumi	Mizuno-san is friends with Tsuzuru-kun, but......due to personal circumstances, it seems he's trying not to meet with him.
Hisoka	......I see.

Mizuno	So this is a marshmallow specialty store......
	It may be the first time I've seen a shop so abundant in marshmallows alone.
Hisoka	Mizuno, this way.
Mizuno	Ah, yes.
Hisoka	This is a regular marshmallow, these ones have chocolate inside, and......there are marshmallows with jelly inside, too.
Mizuno	I see. Do you have a favourite type of marshmallow?
Hisoka	They're all delicious.
Mizuno	I see. So there are marshmallows with chocolate and jelly inside, too......Let me note that down.
Hisoka	......
Mizuno	......? Mikage-san, is something the matter?
Hisoka	It's amazing that you're taking notes.
Mizuno	It's just because I'd like to present you with marshmallows that can satisfy you the next time we meet.
Hisoka	Thanks. I'll make sure to explain things properly too.
Mizuno	Yes! I'll be counting on you.
Hisoka	ーーThe ones I recommend are like this.
Mizuno	There really are many types of marshmallow, aren't there.
Hisoka	There's a cafe nearby where you can eat the marshmallows from here. Let's go. The hot chocolate is good too.
Mizuno	Yes, of course!
Mizuno	This is delicious.
Hisoka	Yeah, it is.
Mizuno	Mikage-san, were you always knowledgeable about marshmallows?
Hisoka	After I came to MANKAI Company, everyone told me about lots of different marshmallows.
	I was told about guimauves by Tenma.
Mizuno	Is that so.
	I'll prepare another marshmallow lunch sometime using what I was taught today as a reference.
Hisoka	Thanks.
	You're a good person, Mizuno......Nobody's ever been so proactive about giving me marshmallows.
Mizuno	Really? If that made you happy, I'm glad too.
Hisoka	......
Mizuno	Is something the matter?
Hisoka	......Hey, why won't you meet up with Tsuzuru?
Mizuno	Ahh, so you knew about me and Tsuzuru. ......I suppose it's natural for you to know if you're in the same troupe.
Hisoka	I don't think you have to force yourself to see him if you don't want to.
	But if you want to see him even a little, you should.
Mizuno	Mikage-san......
Hisoka	You never know what will happen, after all. If one day you want to see them, but aren't able to anymore......It's lonely.
Mizuno	ーーDid you become unable to meet with a person you wished to see, Mikage-san......?
Hisoka	I......
Mizuno	Ah......Excuse me for asking something so personal......!
Hisoka	No, it's okay.
Mizuno	......I shall take your words to heart.
Hisoka	Yeah.
Hisoka	I'm back.
Izumi	Welcome back, Hisoka-san.
CHOICE 1: Something smells sweet [+] Izumi I feel like there's a sweet scent coming from you...... Hisoka It's probably because we went to a cafe, too. I had the new marshmallow hot chocolate. It was delicious. Izumi A new marshmallow hot chocolate......I'm a tad interested. Hisoka You should come along too next time. Izumi Yeah, I'd like to go!
CHOICE 2: It seems like you had fun. [+] Izumi It seems like you had fun! Hisoka I was happy that he listened to me. He noted down all my recommendations. I want to go and wander around to different marshmallow shops with him next time. Izumi (Hisoka-san is completely enamoured with Mizuno-san......)
Hisoka	Here, a souvenir for you.
Izumi	For me?
Hisoka	Yeah, as thanks for the marshmallow lunch box.
Izumi	Are you sure? Mizuno-san was the one who prepared it......
Hisoka	But that was because you asked him too.
Izumi	Really? Thanks.
Hisoka	Director......I hope Tsuzuru and Mizuno can meet someday.
Izumi	(I wonder if Hisoka-san spoke with Mizuno-san about Tsuzuru-kun as well.)
	......That's right. I hope so too.
