From A3! Wiki
Brush-writing Lecture Time
Backstage Stories| —at Mankai Dorm Balcony— | |
| Juza | ...Done. |
| Kazunari | Ah, Hyodle spotted! |
| Juza | ...? 's there somethin' you need? |
| Kazunari | Omimi just baked macarons for snack, and I’m calling everyone in the dorm. |
| Oh, is that calligraphy? | |
| Ahh, is this for helping out Tsumtsum with his part time job? | |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Kazunari | If I recall, you’ll have a study session with the elementary school students at the library, right? |
| Juza | Yeah. I’m gonna be teachin' calligraphy to them. |
| Kazunari | I see~ So that’s what the brush-writing practice for. But why outside? |
| Juza | If I write inside a room, the smell of ink would fill it up. |
| Gatherin' all the calligraphy tools would be a hassle, so I’m plannin' to use brush pen in the actual class. | |
| I was thinkin' about usin' real brush and ink for practice. | |
| Kazunari | Amazing! Hyodle really thought hard about this, huh? |
| Juza | I’d like to do it properly since I accepted the job after all. |
| For Omi-san’s macaron, I’ll have it after I practice a lil bit more. | |
| Kazunari | Hmm~ If that’s the case, I’ll bring your share of snacks here! |
| You just wait here. | |
| Juza | Wait, you don’t need to. I’ll eat them later. |
| Kazunari | It’s fine, it’s fine~ |
| Thanks for waiting~! Here’s your macaron♪ | |
| Juza | Sorry for the trouble. |
| Kazunari | From here, there’s chocolate, pistachio, and vanilla~ |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Citron | I found you, Juza! I heard you were having brush hair practice![1] |
| Kazunari | Ronron, it’s supposed to be brush-writing practice ya know. |
| Citron | So this is Juza’s writing! It’s so well done that I’m amazed! |
| Juza | I don’t hate calligraphy, that’s why. |
| Citron | I wanna join and do brush-writing practice too! |
| Kazunari | That’s it! Hyodle, how about before teaching the kids, try teaching Ronron here! |
| Citron | I’ve been taught by Sakoda before this, so I have confidence in my writing! |
| I’m gonna show you that I’ll write better than that time! | |
| Juza | Then, I’ll bring your share of tools, so please wait here. |
| Juza | Did you put ink on the inkstone? |
| Citron | The preparation is KO’d! |
| Kazunari | Ronron, you can’t be KO’d right before you start! |
| Juza | First, I’ll write an example, so please pay attention. |
| ..... | |
| Kazunari | Hyodle, that’s a lot of wrinkles between your eyebrows! |
| Citron | All the children will be scared! You gotta relax! Try to give a big smile like you’re gonna laugh! |
| Juza | L-like this? *smiles broadly* |
| Citron | ...On second thought, the usual Juza is better. That smile was double the scariness. |
| Kazunari | The children would start crying after seeing that. |
| Juza | This is hard... |
| Next, we’ll do the Harai and Tome part. | |
| Citron | Gotta sweep and stop, got it![2] |
| Juza | Focus on your nerves—. |
| Like this, this... and this. | |
| Kazunari | Nonono, no way the children would understand from all that! |
| Citron | Like this, this... and this! |
| Juza | Looks good. |
| Kazunari | Seriously? |
| Citron | The way Juza teaches is so easy to understand! |
| Kazunari | I see, Ronron’s also a hands-on learner type like Hyodle, so unexpectedly, he can understand him through passion alone~. |
| But, I think there are some children who can’t keep up with that kind of teaching. | |
| Juza | What should I do then? |
| Kazunari | Let's see... |
| How about using more words to explain on how to move the brush? Maybe they’ll understand even if it’s their first time, right? | |
| Juza | I see... |
| Stop the brush there. | |
| Citron | L-like this? |
| Juza | Not horizontally, but vertically. |
| Citron | T-this is hard... |
| Juza | Pull it diagonally in the same direction, and stop the brush again from the first sweep stroke. |
| Citron | L-like this?! |
| Juza | You went too far. You gotta stop a bit more earlier than that. |
| Citron | Urgh... |
| Juza | Once you properly stop, push the brush sideways from there to sweep. |
| Citron | Ei! |
| Juza | You sweep too much. |
| Citron | Oh, this is too hard! The way Juza teaches from earlier was way easier! |
| Kazunari | Hmm... Seems like for Ronron’s type, it’s hard for them to understand in words. |
| Juza | The way to teach someone is different dependin' on the other party... Never thought of that. |
| Citron-san, let me start over from the beginning. | |
| Citron | STOP! I’m so tired! I sat on my heels for so long that my legs fell asleep! |
| Kazunari | Wanna rest and eat some macarons? |
| Citron | I'll do that... Oh-wawa?! |
| Kazunari | Ah, the ink...! |
| Juza | A-are you okay? |
| Kazunari | Oh man, the paper got soaked in ink... |
| Citron | My legs fell asleep so I lost my balance... Sorry, Juza. |
| Juza | No, it’s my fault that I wasn’t teachin’ well. |
| Kazunari | Seems like choosing brush pen for the actual class was the right choice. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| I’ll have to study more on how to teach... | |
| Kazunari | Do your best, Hyodle! |
| Citron | I'll also support you! |
| Juza | I'll try my best until I can teach better. |
