Part 1Part 2

Guy	Yukishiro, is that….a guidebook?
Azuma	Yeah, when I mentioned that the next performance will be set in Okinawa, an acquaintance of mine gave me this guidebook.
	There’s going to be a free time during our next performance, so I’m thinking of going somewhere
Guy	That sounds good. You can gather various experiences while taking a break.
	Has anything caught your eye yet?
Azuma	That’s true…. Ah, I think this is a good one.
	It’s a facility where various flowers bloom. It’s really beautiful
Guy	That’s true. There’s also a tower that seems to be connected to the observatory
Azuma	The atmosphere also feels good, so I’ll be able to take it slowly.
	Oh, that’s right, I think I’ll invite Tsumugi too..
Guy	Tsukioka would like this kind of facility too, he’d surely be happy if you invited him.
Azuma	Fufu, you’re right.
	Going to this kind of place would be lonely if you go alone after all. It’d be fun if I invited him, I’ll tell him later.
	Tsumugi, can we talk for a bit?
Tsumugi	Yes it’s fine…Ah is that a guidebook for Okinawa?
Azuma	Yeah, you’re right. I found a facility with a nice atmosphere.
Tsumugi	A place with a nice atmosphere?
Azuma	Look, it’s here….
Tsumugi	Ah, there are various plants here. And it’s also beautiful and nice.
Azuma	I thought Tsumugi would surely like this place.
	And during our free time I planned to go here, do you want to go together?
Tsumugi	Oh, is that fine? Then I will be going too!
Azuma	Fufu, I’m glad. Then It’s decided.
Tsumugi	Okinawa has a lot of flowers, so I’m excited to see them.
	Right, how can we get there on that day?
Azuma	Car is fine, I think we should make a rental car reservation before that.
Tsumugi	Then the rental car it is, shall I drive it?
Azuma	Tsumugi driving…?
Tsumugi	Yes. But I’m not used to driving yet, so I don’t think I’ll be able to do very well…
Azuma	Driving on a road you don’t know would be difficult, so please leave the directing to me.
Tsumugi	Is that so? Understood. Then I’ll be in your care.
Izumi	Ah, Azuma-san, Tsumugi-san
Azuma	Director?
Izumi	You both look like you’re having fun, what are you talking about?
Azuma	We’re looking at this guidebook for Okinawa, and discussing where we’ll be going during our free time.
Tsumugi	It seems like there’s a facility with various plants.
Izumi	Wah you’re right, It looks so pretty….!
	We’re going to Okinawa, so we have to visit a lot of places during our free time!
	Please have fun, you two!
Azuma	Mhm, Thank you.
Tsumugi	We will.

Azuma	Then, we’ll head there right away.
Tsumugi	So you’ve decided to call a taxi.
Azuma	It’s easier this way instead of driving after all.
Tsumugi	Ahaha, that’s true. I don’t really ride in taxis, it didn’t even cross my head at all.
	And since we’re inside a taxi we can see the scenery of Okinawa from here.
Azuma	Yeah, It’s a different scenery from usual so it feels fresh.
Tsumugi	There really are a lot of various flowers blooming here.
Azuma	It’s beautiful everywhere and the scent is also nice.
Tsumugi	That flower seems really colorful.
	Ah, It’s the first time I’ve seen that flower! Heh, I wonder what’s the name….
	I wonder if the seeds and soil are being sold at the market… I’ll go look for it next time.
Azuma	Fufu, the flowers are really beautiful and pretty, but looking at the Tsumugi whose eyes are sparkling looking at the flowers is cute too.
Tsumugi	Ah, my apologies. It seems like I got carried away…!
Azuma	It’s fine, enjoy as much as you want.
Tsumugi	Oh, it seems like there’s a greenhouse over there. Should we go?
Azuma	The leaf over here seems shiny, the colors are dark and beautiful.
Tsumugi	You’re right, it has a pleasant feel to it. Ah, the leaf over here has an unusual shape.
Azuma	So there are leaves like this.
Tsumugi	…….Oh right, we should show this to the director and everyone else, shall we take a picture?
Azuma	Let’s, we can take lots of good pictures here.
Tsumugi	First with this flower….. And then this tree too….
	…Ah, I was able to take a beautiful picture. It seems like it’ll look good when we bring it closer.
Azuma	I wonder if we can take a picture of this whole scenery.
Tsumugi	I was just thinking about this earlier, but Azuma-san really does suit this place.
Azuma	Is that so?
Tsumugi	Yes. I think it’d be a good picture if you take them with flowers, would it be fine?
Azuma	Fufu, thank you. Then, I’ll let you take it.
Tsumugi	I’ll take it now. Alright, Cheese.
	Hm? It’s a little blurry. I wonder If it’ll look better if it’s from this angle.
	Ah, I pressed a strange button…..! Wait…
Tourist A	Excuse me…. Would it be fine if I took it for you?
Tsumugi	My apologies. I’m not really good with technologies you see…
	I’ll take upon your words, would it be fine?
Tourist A	No problems. Then, I’ll be taking it.
Azuma	Thank you.
Tourist A	Alright, Cheese.
Tourist B	Look, that guy. He looks so beautiful, I wonder if he’s a model.
Tourist C	He’s seriously gorgeous…! I think I’m going to fall in love.
Tourist A	Alright, Here you go. I’ve taken it.
Tsumugi	Thank you. Amazing, It’s taken beautifully!
Azuma	Thank you very much.
Tourist A	No problem at all. Also….This might sound like an awkward question, but could it be that you’re a model?
Tsumugi	Huh?
Azuma	No, I’m an actor, I belong to a theater company called MANKAI Company.
Tourist A	Oh you do!
Tourist B	He’s from a theater company?
Tourist C	That’s so cool!
Azuma	Fufu, thank you.
	If you don’t mind, please check out our blog site called MANKAI Company.
	I also have an SNS.
Tourist C	Woah, Is that so! I’ll look up MANKAI Company!
Tourist D	Eh what’s this? A theater member?
Tourist E	That person is so beautiful…..!
	He also does theater!
Tsumugi	……The number of fans continues to increase. So this is how Azuma has this many fans, he really is amazing.
