From A3! Wiki
An Encounter with a Kungfu Master
Backstage StoriesIzumi | Eh? Everyone, what are you looking at? |
Azuma | It’s a Kungfu movie. It’s currently being broadcasted in the TV, Sakyo-kun was watching it and I just joined in. |
Guy | Same with me. |
Izumi | I see. |
Sakyo | It seems to be good reference for the upcoming performance. |
Azuma | By the way, I heard that the actor who’s playing the lead in this movie did all the action scenes without a stuntman. |
Izumi | Ah, I’ve heard of that too! |
Guy | There are pretty intense action scenes in this movie… |
He must have trained a lot to be able to do all those scenes by himself. | |
Sakyo | Yeah, he was able to open his own dojo, he seemed to be pretty knowledgeable and well trained in martial arts. |
Izumi | This person, he also appeared in a lot of other action movies right. |
I’ll try to search it in my smartphone… | |
Ah, there it is. | |
Yep, as I thought, he act on a lot of famous titles. | |
Hee… It seemed that he wrote a book called “Kungfu for Those who Seek Strength” too. | |
Sakyo | So he wrote a book. |
I think it can make another good reference. | |
Sakyo | …It’s not available in this store too. |
(I went to several bookstores, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere…) | |
…Hmm? | |
This place is a bookstore too huh. | |
Grandfather | Welcome. |
Sakyo | (That old man seems to be the bookstore owner. It’s an old bookshop, but it might actually be left in a bookstore like this.) |
The martial arts shelf is– | |
Izumi | Eh, Sakyo-san? |
Sakyo | Director-san. |
Izumi | What a coincidence. |
…Sakyo-san, are you perhaps looking for the Kungfu book from yesterday too? | |
Sakyo | Yeah. |
So Director-san is looking for it too. | |
Izumi | Yeah. I tried to find it in several places, but somehow I still cannot find it. |
I wonder if it’s sold out because of the movie he’s starring in recently. | |
Sakyo | Maybe. I also cannot find it. |
Izumi | It will be great if this store has it… |
Izumi | Ah! Alright, there it is! |
Sakyo | “Kungfu for Those who Seek Strength”… |
This is the book indeed. | |
Izumi | Hee, it comes with the DVD. |
Sakyo | It will be very helpful, it’s easier to understand when you have the actual movement from the video. |
–! | |
Izumi | ? |
Sakyo-san, just now, what happened… | |
…! | |
Sakyo-san, your glasses are gone! | |
Sakyo | Wai… How does this happen… |
Grandfather | …Hohoho. |
Izumi | Eh? The old man who was on the cash register… |
Huh!? Isn’t that Sakyo-san’s glasses that he’s holding!? | |
Sakyo | What…! |
Grandfather | Sir… Do you want to become strong? |
Sakyo | …For now, return my glasses– |
Grandfather | Didn’t you hear, I asked you if you want to become strong!! |
Izumi | Sa, Sakyo-san… |
I think it’s better for you to answer here…! | |
Sakyo | Haa… |
I do want to be strong. | |
Grandfather | Hoho, you said well. |
Then, let me teach you directly. | |
Grandfather | Haa-… |
Hai! Haiya! | |
Izumi | A, amazing… |
Those are Kungfu right! | |
Sakyo | …Old man, who the hell are you? |
Grandfather | Nothing, just an old man who loves Kungfu. |
Sometimes, there are gathering of those who loves Kungfu in the park and I teach them a bit. | |
Izumi | That means, you’re an instructor? |
Grandfather | Hoho, it’s not such a big deal. |
The shop’s closed for today! | |
Come with me, and I’ll teach you Kungfu. | |
Izumi | Eh, is it alright to leave your shop just like that!? |
Grandfather | I open this shop when I want to and I close this shop when I want to. |
Sakyo | It’s strange, I think I just got pulled along… |
But it seemed to be real Kungfu… | |
I guess let’s try following him for now. | |
Grandfather | Kungfu lovers gathered here several times a month. |
Let’s start from your footsteps. | |
Your left foot goes like this– | |
Sakyo | Like this. |
Izumi | (Since I’m here already, I guess I’ll also try it for a bit.) |
Grandfather | Next will be your arm. |
Like this, hold it— | |
Ha!! | |
Sakyo | Ha! |
Izumi | Uh… The movement is too hard… |
I have to use everything just to keep up… ugh. | |
Sakyo | Oi, you don’t need to force yourself. |
Grandfather | Right. Don’t force it. |
Izumi | Sorry… |
I think I’ll stop right here… | |
(I’ll just get in the way if I continue more than this, let’s just watch quietly from the side) | |
Grandfather | Alright, let’s take a short break. |
Izumi | The two of you, good work. |
I bought some drinks, please help yourself. | |
Sakyo | Yeah, thank you. |
CHOICE 1: “Sakyo-san, it suits you" [+]
|
|
CHOICE 2: “Somehow, I feel like I’m in a real movie" [+]
|
|
Sakyo | Fyuh… |
Grandfather | Hohoho, you managed to grasp the movement well! |
Sakyo | Old man, your movement and your stamina are pretty good too. |
Grandfather | I just mastered what I like doing. |
I didn’t start Kungfu until I was 60 you know. | |
Izumi | Eh!? Really? |
(He moved so skillfully and taught well, I thought he must had learned it since he was young…) | |
Grandfather | I happened to see a Kungfu movie when I was around the age of 60. |
I was taken into it since then. | |
It’s never too late to start something. | |
Sakyo | …I understand that too. |
Recently, I’ve finally come to understand it. | |
Grandfather | Hoho, don’t get cheeky even if you get it. |
Sakyo | Well, I didn’t notice it alone. |
The one who taught me that was this person, and everyone from the company. | |
Izumi | Sakyo-san… |
Grandfather | This is a good encounter. |
Izumi | …Alright, I’m going to follow your example and start something too! |
Sakyo | What are you thinking about? |
Izumi | Let’s see… first of all, I’ll try more combination of curry spices! |
After all, it’s never too late to start something right? | |
Sakyo | Geez… I know this would happen. |
…Do whatever you want. |
