Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Muku	It feels so nice and toasty…
Kazunari	Ah, Mukkun.
	Are you done washing William?
Muku	Yep. William and I are sunbathing together right now as he dries.
Kazunari	It’s hella nice out today!
	Shucks, I should’ve gave Tonapon a bath too.
Muku	It’s warmer than usual since it’s sunny today.
Kazunari	The weather’s perf for sun-drying!
Muku	…Say, if you want to do it today, then why don’t you wash and dry Tonapon right now?
Kazunari	Good point!
	I’ll give him a wash and bring him over here. Wait for me, ‘kay!
Muku	Are you done washing Tonapon?
Kazunari	Yep, he’s sparkling clean now!
Muku	Let’s sunbathe together with Tonapon then.
	Here, have a seat.
Kazunari	Thanks, Mukkun!
Muku	…
Kazunari	Is that book you’re reading the shoujo manga you bought the other day?
Muku	That’s right.
Kazunari	Can I ask what kinda story it is?
Muku	Of course!
	Erm, so, the main character is a princess who got caught up in a war ends up prisoner in a foreign country…
Kazunari	(Mukkun has such a nice expression on his face whenever he’s talking about shoujo manga.)
Muku	The truth is, I bought this manga because of the cover…
	I bought it because I was charmed by the art, not knowing what it was about.
	I was a bit worried whether I would be into it. But I’m glad I got it since it really made my heart pound!
Kazunari	Shoujo manga you bought because of the cover, huh?
	Maybe I should give that a shot too.
Muku	Let’s go to a bookstore together then!
	I’d like to buy some more as well.
Kazunari	Okay!
	Let’s head there first thing tomorrow!
Muku	I’m glad you found a manga with a cover you liked!
Kazunari	Same. I hope the story’s interesting too.
	Ah, right!
	I’m thinking I gotta do that roommate mission soon. When would be good for you, Mukkun?
Muku	Anytime works for me!
	I assume you’re busier than me, so I’ll accommodate to you.
Kazunari	You sure? Thanks, fam!
Muku	Fufu. I can’t wait to see how you act as me…
	Ah.
Kazunari	Hm? What’s up?
Muku	Sorry, Kazu-kun.
	Please wait a moment!
	*runs off*
Kazunari	Mukkun!? What got into him all of a sudden… ah!
	(That old man is holding a bunch of bags and glancing around.
	Mukkun went over to him!)
	Hey, wait for me!
	*runs*
Muku	…Excuse me. What seems to be the matter?
Old man	Oh, you see, I heard my grandchild is going to make their stage debut here in town, so I came all the way here. However, I’m not sure where their theatre is…
Muku	Is that so!
	Do you know the name of the theatre?
Old man	I think it’s a small theatre…
	I don’t really understand when looking at the flyer either…
Kazunari	Ah, I know that place!
Muku	Kazu-kun! You came.
	Do you know where this theatre is?
Kazunari	Yessiree! And I have no probs guiding him too!
Muku	Really? That’s a relief!
	Alright, we’ll help you with your bags and lead you to the theatre.
Old man	Thank you so much.
Kazunari	I’m happy that old man made it in time!
Muku	He said all his bags were full of snacks for his grandchild.
	I’m sure they’ll be thrilled.
Kazunari	In any case, you totes noticed that old man was in trouble!
Muku	Ehehe. I aim to do three good deeds a day, so I try to keep a watchful eye on my surroundings.
	I might not be that reliable, but if there is someone in need, then I’d like to help them, even just a little.
Kazunari	(Mukkun’s such an amazing guy.)
	(That’s what I like about Mukkun. Or rather, I respect him so much.)

Kazunari	Lookie, lookie. I’ve changed!
	How is it?
Muku	Wow, it feels strange to think you’re wearing my clothes.
	You give off a different vibe than usual. It’s cute!
	…Hm?
	Kazu-kun, are the sleeves too long for you?
Kazunari	Good eye! I kinda have sweater paws, right~!
	Your arms might be longer than mine!
Muku	Hah! It looks like there’s room to spare in your pants too…
	M-maybe I have thick legs!?
	I have to go on a diet…!
Kazunari	What, no! You used to do track and field, so you just have more muscle on your legs than me!
	Seriously, don’t even worry about it!
Muku	…Right, I have muscles.
	I have been running again these days, so I guess that makes sense.
Kazunari	Yep, exactly!
	Anywho, I’m gonna become you now~!
Muku	Sure! I can’t wait to watch…!
Kazunari	“Itadakimasu!
	*Nom, nom*… today’s meal was delicious.”
Muku	(Is this me when I’m eating food…?
	The way he eats is so similar.)
Kazunari	“Hm, what’s wrong, Tenma-kun?
	Ah, are there carrots in here?”
	“Is there really that much?
	No worries, I’ll eat those carrots for you.”
Muku	(Ah! Wait, could this be me doing my three good deeds a day?)
Kazunari	“Thanks for the food. …Eh, the carrots just now?
	They tasted great. Ehehe, I’m glad you’re happy, Tenma-kun.”
Muku	(Wahh, I'm happy to have a scene where I'm doing something nice acted out. But it feels kind of embarrassing.)
Kazunari	“…Mhm. Bookstores are so much fun, aren’t they!”
Muku	(Ah. The scene changed.
	I wonder what side of me is next?)
Kazunari	“Ah! Sorry, Kazu-kun.
	Please wait a moment.”
	“Excuse me, what seems to be the matter? …Oh, I see.
	Do you know the name of the theatre?”
Muku	(This is what happened with the old man the other day…!)
Kazunari	“I’ll hold your bags.
	Are these presents for your grandchild?”
	“I knew it! I’m sure they’ll be thrilled.”
Muku	(Kazu-kun’s been acting with a smile on his face the whole time.
	Does that mean I’m always smiling like that?)
Kazunari	“I’m glad we were able to guide you! It would’ve been sad if you couldn’t watch your grandchild’s debut stage. You came all the way here, after all.”
	“Please enjoy the play!”
	That’s all for my Mukkun skit!
	How was it?
Muku	I thought the way you acted when you were eating happily or when you were flustered were just like me!
	I realized that you’re watching me closely.
Kazunari	Ahaha, great!
	I’m stoked to hear the man himself say I nailed it!
Muku	But I thought you were going to act like me when I talk about shoujo manga. That was a bit surprising.
	I never thought it would be my three good deeds a day…
	I felt a bit embarrassed.
Kazunari	Ahh… Actually, I was also considering the times you go off about your shoujo manga. I was kinda torn.
	But this time, I thought I wanted to show and convey the “kindness” that you have in you, Mukkun.
	I wanted you to get another chance to see all the good things about yourself.
Muku	Kazu-kun…
Kazunari	Weeell, at the end of the day, maybe I just wanted to show off those scenes since I love how you’re kind enough to be able to help others out like that.
Muku	Ehehe…
	I’m overjoyed to hear you say that, Kazu-kun. Thank you.
Kazunari	Alright, let’s take the polaroid and we’re done!
	A lot of Mukkun poses come to mind. Which one should I do…
Muku	I can’t wait to see what you choose.
Kazunari	Ah! Forget about the pose. Taking it with your bestie William would be better!
	Hint, hint, Mukkun. Will you let me have William?
Muku	Yeah, sure thing!
Kazunari	Thanks, fam!
Muku	Okay, I’m taking it.
	3, 2, 1… say cheese!
	*click*
Kazunari	Ooh, killer shot!
Muku	William looks happy too!
Kazunari	Man, aren’t you pro at taking polaroids?
Muku	Ehehe, you think so?
Kazunari	Alright, let’s take a polaroid selfie with that big smile of yours!
Muku	Eh!? But what if Sakyo-san gets mad about us wasting the film…?
Kazunari	Mm…
	There’s still lots left. What he doesn’t know won’t kill him!
	‘Kay, I’m taking it! Say cheese!
