The Gift you Want
Backstage Stories| Azuma | Ah, you’re here. Director, could I talk to you for a moment? |
| Izumi | Azuma-san? Is something wrong? |
| Azuma | There’s something I wanted to ask you. |
| It’s almost White Day, you know? I wanted to ask what you’d like as a return gift. | |
| Izumi | Oh, just the thought of it is enough. I didn’t give you anything big in the first place... |
| Azuma | It’s not like that at all. It made me really happy, so I wanted to give you something in return. |
| But you wouldn’t want to accept something too expensive, right? That’s why I thought I should ask you directly. | |
| Izumi | But... |
| Azuma | Don’t be shy. Anything goes, so just tell me what you want. |
| Izumi | Hm... In that case, something I can eat with everyone would be nice. |
| Azuma | ... Everyone? |
| Izumi | Yup. I’d like something that not just the two of us, but everyone in the company can eat together. |
| Azuma | Fufu, understood. You can look forward to the day, then. |
| Izumi | (The day came around in no time at all, but... thinking about it now, I wonder if I asked Azuma-san for something unreasonable.) |
| (... If he gets something expensive, I’ll give him some of the money for it.) | |
| *knock sfx* | |
| Come in. | |
| Azuma | Director, can I have a moment? |
| Izumi | Ah, yeah. That’s fine. Is this perhaps about White Day? |
| Azuma | Yup. Could you come with me for a bit? |
| Izumi | Whoa, that’s a big box! And all that fruit... |
| Could this be... | |
| Azuma | Yup. Your return gift for White Day. Honestly, I wanted to make it all myself, but... |
| I thought it might be more fun to make it with two people than just one, so I called you here. | |
| Izumi | Make...? |
| Azuma | Open the box and you’ll see. Come on. |
| Izumi | Whoa, there’s so many little roll cakes in here! How cute! |
| Azuma | Fufu, that’s right. It’s a roll cake tower-making kit. |
| We’re going to stack up these little roll cakes and arrange the fruits around them. | |
| Izumi | Huh, so this kind of thing exists. It looks like fun... |
| Azuma | Right? So, won’t you make a roll cake tower with me? |
| Izumi | Gladly! Please let me do it with you! |
| Azuma | Fufu, I thought you’d say that. In that case, shall we get started? |
| Izumi | Yes! |
| Izumi | Even though they’re just bite-sized cakes, having so many of them here is a grand sight. |
| Azuma | Since there’s this many, everyone will be able to eat some, right? |
| Izumi | Right! It’s just like you to make such a great choice! |
| Azuma | I’m glad you liked it. |
| Since it’s a return gift for you, there’d be no point if you of all people weren’t happy with it. | |
| Izumi | Azuma-san... Thank you so much! |
| Azuma | Once we’re finished, should we eat it with everyone? Fufu, they’ll be surprised when they see it. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, that’s true. But I’m sure they’ll all smile right after! |
| Azuma | Putting this strawberry on top is the last thing we have to do. Okay, Director, do you want to finish up the plating? |
| Izumi | Sure! ... Okay! With this, the tower is complete! |
| Sakuya | Oh, Director and Azuma-san, what are you two... whoa! |
| That’s amazing! There’s a whole pile of roll cakes! | |
| Azuma | It’s a roll cake tower. It’s my return gift for the director for White Day. |
| Izumi | We just finished making it. Sakuya, do you want some? |
| Sakuya | It’s Azuma-san’s return gift for you, so would that be okay? |
| Izumi | Of course! |
| Azuma | Director’s request was “Something I can eat with everyone.” That’s why it’s okay if you have some, Saku. |
| Sakuya | So that’s how it was...! Director, thank you so much! |
| Izumi | Ahaha, the one who got things ready was Azuma-san. Okay, I’ll go call everyone who’s in the dorm right now. |
| Sakuya | Ah, I’ll call them, then! Since I’ll be eating some, let me help out with this much. |
| Okay, I’m heading out! | |
| Azuma | Fufu, it looks like things are going to get lively. |
| Izumi | ... That said, even though we made this tower to eat it with everyone, it almost feels like a waste to break it up. |
| Azuma | It does feel like a bit of a waste, but... |
| Izumi | Azuma-san? Are you starting to eat already? |
| Azuma | - Okay, say a~h. |
| Izumi | Huh!? |
| Azuma | I got this to eat it with everyone, but it was originally for you. |
| If possible, I’d want you to eat it first. ... Right? | |
| Izumi | ... Th- then, if you insist... Thank you for the food. |
| Azuma | Mhm, eat up. |
| Izumi | Mm... It’s delicious! |
| Azuma | Fufu, I’m glad. I’ll get something like this next year, too, so let’s make it together again. |
| Izumi | Yes! Of course! |
| Azuma | I wonder if we could invite the others and make it with everyone next time. |
