From A3! Wiki
A Nostalgic Surprise Gift
Backstage Stories| Chikage | I'm home. |
| Sakuya | Welcome home, Chikage-san! |
| Chikage | All Spring Troupe members gathered here. What's up? |
| Citron | Chikage, your just in time! |
| Let's go to the Christmas market with everyone! | |
| Chikage | Christmas market? |
| I didn't see that coming. | |
| Tsuzuru | Citron-san found out about the Christmas market in the neighboring town. |
| Itaru | So he wants everyone in the Spring Troupe to go. |
| Citron | I'll help with the upcoming Veludo Way's Christmas market! I have to check it! |
| Itaru | For reference, right? |
| Sakuya | It looks fun! I want to go too! |
| Chikage | I see. Let's go then. |
| Masumi | ....Don't want to. It's cold. |
| Citron | Ooh! Masumi, how cruel~! |
| Sakuya | That's right! We should all go together. |
| Chikage | You know, director-san might be happy to receive a surprise gift from the Christmas market. |
| Masumi | I'll go. |
| Tsuzuru | Speedy. |
| Citron | If you want, Itaru will treat us! |
| Itaru | Huh? |
| Don't tell me, I've become an ATM again? | |
| Chikage | Thanks for the treat, Chigasaki. |
| Itaru | Senpai is an adult too. Please take some initiative yourself. |
| Tsuzuru | Then, is everyone free tomorrow evening? |
| Citron | No problem! |
| Sakuya | I'm good with it too. |
| Chikage | Chigasaki and I will join you after work. |
| Itaru | Right. |
| Sakuya | Let's meet in the neighboring town tomorrow! |
| Itaru | GJ.GJ. |
| Chikage | Have you waited? |
 |
|
| Tsuzuru | No, we just arrived here too. |
| Sakuya | Good work for today! |
| Citron | Just looking at the decorations makes me all pumped up! |
| Let's go here and there, quick! | |
| Sakuya | Umm, What are those board-like goods? |
| There are messages written on it. | |
| Chikage | Oh, it's a German cookie called 'lebkuchen'. |
| Those cookies are traditional sweets. | |
| I've seen it on Christmas markets overseas before. | |
| Tsuzuru | So those are cookies. It indeed has an overseas feel to it. It's huge. |
| Masumi | I'll buy all the heart-shaped cookies and give it to her. |
| Itaru | Masumi is still Masumi no matter where he goes. |
| Chikage | ..... |
| Sakuya | ? Chikage-san, what's the matter? |
| Chikage | No, it's nothing. |
| Chikage | ....We've pretty much explored the place. |
| Itaru | Yeah. |
| Where shall we go after this? | |
| Tsuzuru | I got hungry after looking around. |
| Seems like they're selling lots of foods too. | |
| Citron | Let's all buy and eat delicious foods together! |
| We can buy our food and re-gather after~! | |
| Masumi | I'll buy heart-shaped cookies.... |
| Sakuya | Everything looks delicious! |
| I wonder what should I buy.... | |
| Chikage | I'll check the spicy chorizo over there. |
| Itaru | Eating spicy food even here. As expected of senpai, you're unshakeable as ever. |
| Citron | Tsuzuru, let's go there! |
| Tsuzuru | Woah, Wait up, Citron-san! Don't pull me! |
| Itaru | As expected of Citron. |
| Chikage | They're still the same even at times like this... |
| Masumi | Tsuzuru and Citron are late. |
| Sakuya | Perhaps, the shops are crowded-- |
| Citron | Sorry for the wait~! |
| Tsuzuru | I'm sorry to keep you waiting. |
| Itaru | You're late. |
| Tsuzuru | We did a bit of shopping in addition to buying food. |
| Citron | This is a present for you, Chikage! |
| Chikage | For me? |
| Masumi | What....A box? |
| Citron | Anyways, open it! |
| Chikage | I see, then.... |
| Tsuzuru | Citron-san, are you sure about this? |
| Citron | Tsuzuru, Sshhh! Chikage will find out! |
| Tsuzuru | I wouldn't do that if I were you..... |
| *SPROINGGG* | |
| Chikage | ..... |
 |
|
| Sakuya | Wah ! |
| Masumi | .... A Jack-in-the-box? |
| Chikage | Seems like it. |
| Sakuya | I got more surprised than Chikage-san.... |
| Itaru | Didn't even flinch an eyebrow. Are you human, senpai? |
| Citron | Gee ~! Chikage wasn't surprised at all! |
| How frustrating! | |
| Tsuzuru | Actually, we saw it in an accessory shop when we were making rounds earlier. A talk came up about giving it to someone to surprise them. Citron-san insisted to give it to Chikage-san. |
| Citron | I wanted to see Chikage's surprised expression~. |
| But my mission failed. | |
| Chikage | The truth is I already found out about this box when we were making rounds to shops earlier. |
| Sakuya | It makes sense now. |
| Masumi | Boring. |
| Itaru | What a cheat. |
| Citron | Mrrgh! I'm so upsetー! |
| Chikage | Sadly, it's game over for you. |
| Besides--- | |
| A 'certain somebody' may already have given me the same thing before. | |
| Sakuya | A certain somebody....? |
| Chikage | It's nothing. I'm talking to myself. |
| Citron | Actually, that's not the end of it! |
| Itaru | Still have something on your sleeve? |
| Citron | I prepared a spicy candy as a treat for Chikage if the prank was a success. |
| Masumi | Spicy candy....What do you mean? |
| Chikage | You prepared well. |
| Citron | But I ended up failing my mission so I can't give it to Chikage as a treat. |
| Tsuzuru will eat the candy instead! | |
| Tsuzuru | Yes? |
| Chikage | It’s a shame but I'll let you have it this time, Tsuzuru. |
| Tsuzuru | Wait! What? Why me !? |
| Citron | The candy is not so spicy! I'll feed you two at a time. Try it. |
| Tsuzuru | How can you say? You haven't tried it yourself! Don't force it on me! |
| Citron | Come on, open your mouth, Tsuzuru. |
| Aaa~hn ! | |
| Tsuzuru | Wa-wait ! Stop it ! |
| GAAAAAAAHHH! ! | |
