Dance Game Confrontation

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Kazunari	Tadaah! Look, I borrowed this from a friend cause I think it will be a good practice for the performance~!
	A dance game, “Dance Dance Delux”!
	Let’s all do it together!
Tenma	Hee, a dance game is it.
Izumi	I think I’ve seen it before.
	It was a popular game last time right.
Kazunari	Yep yep! But this is their most recent work, their newest release!
	There are a lot of songs inside so I think there will be a lot of songs that everyone knows.
Muku	Really, that sounds fun!
Misumi	I want to try!
Yuki	I won’t be dancing for my role this time, so I’ll pass.
	I’ll just watch from the side.
Kumon	So this mat with the arrows will become the controller?
Kazunari	Yep! You just need to follow the melody and step on the same arrow that appears on the screen!
Misumi	I see~!
Kazunari	Then to try it out, let’s try one-person mode with the medium difficulty level!
Misumi	This is fun!
Izumi	Misumi-kun’s amazing!
	You’re like doing it so effortlessly.
Yuki	As expected of triangle alien.
	You’re just really good at flying and bouncing around.
Kumon	It’s pretty hard trying to get the timing!
Kazunari	Eh, ah… wah! I missed!
Muku	Woah, ah, I stepped on my leg…!
Tenma	But, this might actually be good to train our legs.
Kumon	Yep yep, you’re right!
	I want to do it one more time!
Muku	Kyu-chan, let’s do it together with me?
Kumon	Then, let’s try the 2-player mode, I’ll lower the difficulty a bit.
	Let’s go~!
Muku	~♪ ~♪
Kumon	~♪ ~♪
Kazunari	Oh! Kumopi and Mukkun are doing great!
	Let me take some pictures for Inste! *shutter*
Misumi	Clear!
	You two are great~
Kumon	Alright!
Kazunari	Right, I’ll be going next!
	Hey hey, Director-chan, let’s do it together?
Izumi	Eh, me?
	Umm, I do want to try it, but it looks pretty difficult.
	It will be a hindrance for your practice too…
Kumon	It’s not a hindrance at all~
Tenma	Since we have it, why not try it once.
Izumi	Then, I’ll try it just one time.
	Kazunari-kun, please treat me kindly.
Kazunari	Alright! I get to dance with Director-chan!
	Since Director-chan just started, let’s do the easiest one.
Muku	Director-san, do your best!
Kazunari	~♪ ~♪
Izumi	~♪
Kumon	Oh! Kazu-san, amazing! It’s perfect!
Yuki	Director too, it’s not bad at all.
Misumi	Yep! You’re good!
Izumi	Thank you.
	I’m still behind compared to everyone else, but it was fun.
Kazunari	I’m glad!
	Let’s play again if you feel like it!
Izumi	Yeah, then I’ll take your offer on that.
Tenma	Next will be my turn.
Misumi	Do it together with me~!
Kumon	The two of you, do your best!
Kazunari	~♪ ~♪
Banri	Kazunari, you’ve been playing that game here recently.
Izumi	Yeah, you’ve been doing it everyday.
Kazunari	Fyuh, time for a short break!
	I’m somehow getting more and more into this game, it’s becoming really fun you know~!
Izumi	Recently, you’ve been upping the difficulty level too right?
Kazunari	Yep, I’m getting used to it.
	At this point I already played the highest difficulty level.
Banri	Hee, that’s great.
Kazunari	It’s super fun when you learn how to do the song with high difficulty level~.
CHOICE 1: “I’m feeling happy too just by looking at you" [+] Izumi Kazunari-kun looks like you’re having so much fun playing the game, I can’t help but to feel happy too just by looking at you. Kazunari Hehe, really? But, I can play with such a happy mood because I know Director-chan is looking at me too. Hey, Director-chan let’s play together again! Izumi You’re right. Maybe I should get some tips from Kazunari-kun. Kazunari Leave it to me! Pay a close attention, I will give you a perfect lecture!
CHOICE 2: “You’re really doing your best for the dance practice" [+] Izumi Kazunari-kun, it’s a game, but you’re really doing your best for the dance practice. Kazunari Courz! Anyway, dancing with everyone is so lit! The dance for the performance too, I’ll make sure to show you an even cooler one! Izumi Yeah, I’ll be looking forward to it.
Banri	Oh yeah, this dance game is also available at the game center right.
Kazunari	Wha!? I don’t really go to the rhythm game corner, so I never realized!
Banri	Why don’t we go together after class tomorrow?
Kazunari	Let’s go! Looking forward to it~!
Izumi	Game center…
	Oh yeah, me too, I think I do have something to do there…

Izumi	Ah, it’s Kareko-chan!
Banri	Hah? Kareko-chan?
Izumi	It’s a cute character from that curry franchise.
	Kareko-chan becomes a crane game prize, so I was thinking of trying for it.
	Hey, is it alright if I go with you guys to the game center?
Kazunari	Courz! Let’s go together!
Banri	Then, I’ll contact you after the lecture’s over tomorrow, wait for us.
Izumi	Alright, understood!
Izumi	The crane game is…
	Ah, there it is! There’s Kareko-chan doll too!
Kazunari	It’s the last one too!
	Director-chan’s so lucky!
Banri	So this thing’s actually popular…
Izumi	Alright, then let’s try it out.
???	Ah, found it! My Kareko-chan!
Izumi	Eh?
Rude Man	Wait wait~ I already safe a spot on that machine, I was just away to exchange money.
Kazunari	Eh, but there was no sign of it?
Rude Man	It can’t be!
	You guys just missed it.
Banri	But, didn’t you say ‘found it’ just now?
Rude Man	I didn’t say that.
Kazunari	But, if you were saving the spot, usually you won’t be able to insert money for a short period of time, this one receives it alright~
Rude Man	Ugh…
	You released the ‘keep’ function right!
Banri	Ah? We won’t do such thing obviously.
Rude Man	…Ugh!
	If, if you say so, I’ll bet that Kareko-chan doll on that dance game!
Izumi	(That’s “Dance Dance Delux” right!?)
Banri	Hah? What are you saying, you bastard.
	You came in later, don’t say whatever you want.
Kazunari	Settzer, calm down!
	Then, compete with me!
Banri	Oi, Kazunari, you don’t need to listen to this kind of guy…
Kazunari	I’m good at that game, so it’s fine!
	This time, leave it to me!
Rude Man	Ha, I’m a ranker in this game center’s dance game competition. There’s no way you could win you know.
Izumi	(Ranker!? So this person is good at this game too…)
Rude Man	Of course, the difficulty level will be the highest one.
Kazunari	Understood. I’m good with that!
Izumi	Kazunari-kun, do your best…!
Kazunari	Thank you!
	To get support from Director-chan, the tension’s up high!
	I’ll do my best for Director-chan now.
	That’s why, don’t worry and just look at me.
Izumi	Yeah!
Izumi	(The two of them cleared the stage with no miss!
	But score wise, Kazunari-kun has the higher one…!)
Kazunari	So that’s that, it’s my win!
Rude Man	Damn it…! I’ll remember this!
Izumi	Kazunari-kun, amazing!
	Thank you!
Kazunari	Hehe, you’re welcome.
	I’ll be happy if Director-chan’s happy.
Banri	Kazunari, congrats.
	There you go, Director-chan.
Izumi	Eh, Kareko-chan doll…!
	Since when!?
Banri	I thought Kazunari will win the game, so I took the chance to get it in the middle of it.
Kazunari	Setzzer, amazing as expected~!
Izumi	The two of you, thank you so much!
	I’m really happy.
	As thanks, for today’s and tomorrow’s dinner…
Banri	Ah, I only got the doll.
	If you want to express your gratitude, do it for Kazunari who won the dance game.
Izumi	You don’t need to restrain yourself.
Banri	I don’t.
Izumi	Really?
	Then as thanks, I’ll make the curry that Kazunari-kun likes tonight!
Kazunari	Eh, it’s limited to curry!?
	Don’t you usually let me choose something that I like here!?
Izumi	Since it’s a thanks for Kareko-chan, I was thinking of making curry to the best of my ability, is it no good?
Kazunari	…True that, today’s main character is Kareko-chan I guess.
	Maybe I’ll take the curry offer after all!
Izumi	I’m glad. Then, let’s go shopping on the way back!
Banri	So it’s really curry in the end…
Kazunari	Well, isn’t it fine.
	Director-chan looks like she’s having so much fun!
