Masumi Usui/IMMORTAL CROW

Role Study 【Tadanobu】

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Kumon	Hehe, handmade sugoroku is super duper fun!
Misumi	I wonder if the people of the Heian period also played like this~?
Kumon	It’s fun and connected to role-making, so it's the best!
Masumi	…
Misumi	? Masumi, what’s wrong~?
Masumi	…I definitely want to land on Director’s space.
Tenma	As expected Masumi made a Director square, huh.
Chikage	Ahh, it’s this “Date with Director” one, right?
Tsuzuru	That can only be made by none other than Masumi.
	Instead of saying you conjured dozens of them, is that really the only one?
Masumi	If I can land on that one single space in one go, the connection between Director and I will become stronger.
Tsuzuru	Uh no, because this is just a game, you know?
Kumon	Alriiight, next is me!
	I’ll also aim for Sumi-san’s Mass Triangle Gate space~!
	There we gooo!
	*rolls dice*
	It’s 6! 1, 2, 3…
	Ah! Lucky!
	“Date with Director. Advance 5 spaces”!
	I wasn’t able to get the “advance 10 spaces” from the Mass Triangle Gate square but,
	I’m still happy with 5 spac—
Masumi	Roll again.
Kumon	Huh!? B-but…
Masumi	Roll again. It’s unforgivable someone apart from me lands there.
Tenma	What kind of rule!
Chikage	Haha, as usual.
Masumi	Hurry up and roll again, Kumon.
Tsuzuru	Kumon, we can’t progress if you don’t roll so
	Try rolling again…
Kumon	Gotcha! Alright, one more time!
	*rolls dice*
Chikage	This time it wasn’t Director’s square, huh.
Kumon	From here on I’m chasing Sumi-san who’s in first place!
Masumi	Finally my turn.
	I’ll definitely land on Director’s space…
	*rolls dice*
Misumi	Too bad~, that wasn’t Director’s square…
Tenma	The space Masumi stopped on is… “Act out a realistic suicide. If you act it out, move forward 1 space” is what’s written.
Kumon	Eeh!? That's a super difficult thing…!
Tsuzuru	The one who wrote that is me.
Chikage	That’s a very scriptwriter-like square.
Masumi	I’m rolling again.
Tsuzuru	Ha!?
Masumi	It can’t be anything but the date with Director.
Tsuzuru	About that!
	If you keep saying these things, this won’t become a game anymore.
Tenma	But it seems if he doesn’t reroll, just like before, the game itself won’t be able to progress…
Masumi	I’m rolling again.
Tsuzuru	Haa… I got it.
	Just one more time, ok?
Masumi	It’ll happen this time so there’s no problem.
	*rolls dice*
Kumon	Ah, it’s a different space again.
Masumi	…One more time.
Tsuzuru	Oi!
Masumi	I’m rolling again one more time.
Tenma	How many times do you feel like rerolling!
Masumi	I’ve decided to until it happens.
	*rolls dice*
Misumi	Oh—, it was the wrong space again~.
Masumi	One more time.
Chikage	At this rate, I’m not sure how long this will continue.
Tsuzuru	Haa…
