Tasuku Takato/HOTEL COMPASS

Role Study: Minami

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Azuma	The idea to rebuild the hotel, why don’t Tasuku go next?
Tasuku	Me?
	But I’m not a hotel staff, my role is a novelist…
Tsumugi	Isn’t it fine to think about it from the customer’s point of view?
Tasuku	You’re right, there’s that too…
	Well, I saw a lot of writers getting their inspiration to write at the hot spring, so don’t you think it’s important to have hot spring.
Hisoka	Hot spring… I think I’ve seen that in television too.
Guy	You’re right, it seems that many writers are spending a lot of time writing in hot springs.
Azuma	So it’s the answer that you came up with after thinking about your role properly.
Tasuku	It’s a role study, so it’s supposed to be like that isn’t it.
	Azuma-san’s still fine, but Mikage just said whatever he wants.
Homare	But I want to try listening to Tasuku-kun’s own opinion, not from your role as the novelist.
	If you meet a hotel staff who was thinking about rebuilding the hotel’s management, what would you say to him?
Tasuku	Is that scenario really necessary…?
Homare	Why not, since Tsumugi-kun participated in Hisoka-kun’s suggestion, I also want to try participating as the hotelman!
Tasuku	So it’s that kind of reason.
	Sigh, I guess it’s fine.
	If it’s me–
	<Shifts to Imagination>
Homare	Uhh, I’m lost…
Tasuku	What’s the matter?
Homare	Oh, customer sir. Sorry to disturb you.
Tasuku	You seem to be worried about something.
	If you’re alright with me, I don’t mind listening.
Homare	But… I don’t think I can tell this to a customer…
Tasuku	I don’t mind.
	I won’t tell anyone, so just tell me.
Homare	Actually… This hotel has not been doing very well in terms of the management.
	I’ve been thinking about how to fix this.
Tasuku	I see.
	…Ah, if that’s the case I have a suggestion.
Homare	Really…!?
Tasuku	I have always thought that if you want to make it better…
	Isn’t it fine just to build a training room?
Homare	Training room?
Tasuku	Yeah. It seems that recently, the number of hotels with that kind of facility has increased.
	It feels good to soak in the hot spring after exercising too right.
	No doubt that it will make a difference.
	<Back to Reality>
Homare	I know it somehow…
Tsumugi	It’s going to be like this huh.
Tasuku	Arisugawa, you said you’re going to listen to my own’s opinion…
Guy	But it sounds like something Takato would suggest.
Azuma	Fufu, you’re right.
Hisoka	You can’t say anything about me then.
	Tasuku too, you’re just saying whatever you like.
Tasuku	No, I was telling them of what they can actually do.
