Preparing for the Kickoff Party! ~Tsumugi’s Case~

Backstage Stories
IzumiOkay, this should be enough for the budget.
SakyoYeah.
SakuyaI’m home!
MasumiDirector, I’m home. My “welcome home” kiss...
YukiHey, you’re blocking the way so hurry up.
MukuI’m home.
IzumiEveryone, welcome back!
TaichiI’m ho–me! Wait, isn’t it pretty crowded here!?
TenmaSo it gets this noisy when we return home at the same time...
BanriOi, don’t just stand in front of the door. Outta the way.
JuzaAah?
YukiDon’t start fighting in such a crowded place.
TsumugiNo wonder it’s lively in here; it’s the time when the students return home, huh.
IzumiTsumugi-san, you’re home too! Perfect timing. Everyone, listen.
SakuyaWhat’s wrong?
IzumiTo start us off as we head towards the second round of performances, we’re holding a kickoff party!
TsumugiA kickoff party?
IzumiTo also celebrate gathering enough members for Winter Troupe, I was thinking we should have a party. So I talked to Sakyo-san about it.
MukuA party...!
TaichiParties are all about food! I wanna eat meat! Big thick meat!!
SakyoGetting all merry and festive is fine, but you better stay within budget.
This kickoff party is for strengthening our bonds as a theater troupe. Your motivation towards future performances should be so-and-so, et cetera...
BanriHe’s at it again...
MukuUmm, if it’s a party, then is it okay if we prepare a cake?
JuzaCake...
MasumiI’ll cut up the cake. I’ll cut the wedding cake together with you——
IzumiI won’t be doing that!
TsumugiIt’s finally the day of the party.
HomareMhm. I must prepare my best tea.
HisokaMarshmallows...
TsumugiSakyo-san set up the budget, so I’m thinking of going shopping...
AzumaFufu, if that’s the case then leave it to me. I ordered some hors d’oeuvre from my favourite restaurant for today.
TsumugiIs that so?
AzumaYup. But that restaurant doesn’t do deliveries, so I was thinking of having Tasuku drive there to pick them up.
TasukuWhat? Me?
HomareHm, indeed, Tasuku-kun is the only one in this group who can drive properly.
HisokaZzz...
TsumugiAh, then I’ll go with you. There’s probably a lot to carry after all.
AzumaIf Tsumugi is going then I’ll stay here in the dorm to help out the other troupes. Even if a lot of us go, it would be troublesome if everything doesn’t fit in the car.
HomareI must also prepare the tea. Hisoka-kun, will you come help me?
HisokaZzz...
TasukuGeez... I guess I have no choice.
TasukuThis is the last one, right?
TsumugiYeah. The stuff we just put in the car should be all of it.
TasukuThere sure is a lot...
TsumugiThere is... Like Azuma-san said, if we all came then we wouldn’t have been able to fit all of it.
TasukuWell, there is a lot of us.
TsumugiEveryone will be happy since there’s so much. Everything looks delicious too.
TasukuYeah. Okay, let’s head back to the dorm. I’m starting the car.
TsumugiAh... Sorry, wait just a sec. I actually have a favour to ask...
Tasuku...Hm?
TsumugiSorry. I ended up making you come with me all the way here.
TasukuI did think it was weird that you volunteered to come with me...
So all this time your goal was to go to the flower shop.
TsumugiAhaha, you found me out.
I always walk here so I can’t really buy that much. Plus it’s easier to carry home heavy things like soil if I go by car.
Tasuku*sigh*... The car is already loaded with stuff, so think before you buy.
TsumugiI know, I know.
...Let’s see –– a scoop and some fertilizer, and then...
TsumugiCome to think of it –– Tasuku, do you remember? When we were students we went to the flower shop together like this.
TasukuYeah... That takes me back. If I remember correctly, it was for a farewell party for a senpai in our theater circle.
Tsumugi...That time, even our senpai told us that we’d probably be acting together forever.
But, halfway through I abandoned my dream, and you and I misunderstood each other...
There was a period of time when I couldn’t meet you directly, and I think I took the really long way around.
But I met you again in this troupe, and together we’re walking the continuation of the dream we envisioned that day...[1]
I’m really happy that we can act together, Taa-chan.
Tasuku...Yeah, I agree.
Wait, you called me Taa-chan again.
TsumugiAhaha, sorry. It just slipped since I was reminiscing about old times.
TasukuGeez...
Be careful, Tsumu.
TsumugiYou too, I told you to stop it with the Tsumu!
Tsumugi...All right. This should be everything I wanted to buy for now...
Tasuku“For now”? You... Your arms are full of stuff; can all that fit in the car?
TsumugiHmm... It should be fine even if it doesn’t fit. I’ll put them on my lap.
TasukuThat’s not the point.
TsumugiIt’s fine, I’ll do something about it.
Ah, that’s right. I wanted to buy narcissus too. They were around here earlier... There they are.
TasukuThat’s...
TsumugiHm? Something wrong?
Tasuku...I’ve seen those flowers before. Your grandma grew them with care.
TsumugiYeah! I’m surprised you remembered. Apparently they’re still blooming at home even now.
I received a picture of them along with a picture of Zabi the other day.[2]
TasukuIs Zabi doing well?
TsumugiYup. He’s already a grandpa though. They send me pictures of him sometimes.
...Here. This is the one they sent me the other day.
Tasuku...He hasn’t changed.
TsumugiThat reminds me, back in the day didn’t we often draw Zabi and then compete over who drew him better?
TasukuI was definitely better.
TsumugiI was better!
TasukuNo, I am.
TsumugiI am!
Tasuku...Okay then, want to have a contest for the first time in a while when we get back to the dorm? Let’s find out who can draw him better.
TsumugiLet’s do it. And while we’re at it, we might as well have the Director be the judge.

Notes

  1. Some of these lines are from Tsumugi’s character song!
  2. Zabi/The Bee (ザビー) is the name of Tsumugi’s dog; you see him in Tsumugi and Tasuku’s practice doodles and in Tsumugi’s unbloomed Mankai Birthday SSR. Until the official spelling of his name in romaji is confirmed, I’ll be going with ‘Zabi’ for now
