Tasuku Takato/Risky Game

Acting Junkie's Role Study

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Yuki	...Yeah, it's done.
Azuma	Thank you, Yuki.
Hisoka	......
Homare	Oh, Hisoka-kun's sunglasses are quite fresh looking!
Tsumugi	Homare-san's hat also looks great.
Homare	Indeed! I have taken a liking to it as well. I also quite like the pattern on Guy-san's jacket.
Yuki	I looked for fabrics that would fit well.
Guy	As you would expect from Rurikawa.
Izumi	It looks luxurious and fits the image of a casino manager.
Hisoka	Tasuku's costume has quite the presence.
Tsumugi	Right...
Tasuku	It's a shade of color you don't really see in plain clothing.
Yuki	Since I was already going out of my way, I decided to go with a bright color you wouldn't normally wear.
Azuma	Fufu, you look great that way, Tasuku.
Guy	The character Takato is playing, Oliver, is a debt collector. It would be good to have an impact.
Izumi	That's true!
Tsumugi	It definitely would be scary for your debt to be collected by such a rugged looking person.
Homare	Even the normal Tasuku has such an intimidating presence already!
Tasuku	Leave me alone.
Hisoka	Zzz...
Tasuku	Mikage's sleeping in a place like this again.
Tsumugi	Well, let's just let him sleep for the time being.
	I'm really looking forward to our next play, the costume fitting yesterday gave me a better idea of my role.
Tasuku	That's right. I feel like I can get into the character more when I wear the costume.
Tsumugi	Especially for you, Tasuku.
Muku	Where did it go...
Kazunari	When was the last time you saw it?
Tsumugi	What's wrong, you two?
Kazunari	Mukkun can't find one of his shoujo manga~
Muku	Volume 7 just came out yesterday, so I thought I'd read it along with the new issue...
Hisoka	...Did you lend it to someone?
Kazunari	Whoa, Hisohiso?!
Tasuku	You decide to wake up now, huh.
Muku	I think so...
	So many people read it that I lost track of who I lent it to.
Tasuku	I see.
Muku	Should I just buy it again...
Tsumugi	...Ah, I know. Why don't we have Tasuku look for it for you?
Tasuku	Huh?
Tsumugi	You're playing a debt collector this time, aren't you? If you think of it in the sense of collecting something you've lent, it also serves as a kind of role study...I guess.
Kazunari	If Tsumutsumu's the one who says it~, Tax will definitely look for it no matter how much--
Tasuku	I see...that's one way to do it.
Kazunari	Wait, he's full of motivation?!
Hisoka	...As expected of the acting junkie.

Tsumugi	It's going to take a lot of time to find everyone here to ask them about it.
Kazunari	That's no longer a search!
Tasuku	Sakisaka, do you remember anything that could help?
Muku	Um...I think I lent it to Arisu-san at the time of our 2nd anniversary performance, and after that...
	Ah, speaking of...I might have lent Runrun☆Walk to Citron-sama when it got adapted into a live-action.
	Sorry it's a bit ambiguous...
Tsumugi	I see.
Kazunari	In that case, Mukkun should go ask Ron-Ron about--
Tasuku	No...I'll go. If Sakisaka, the lender, is looking for it, you can assume that the deadline for repayment has already passed.
Kazunari	Tax, you're really into this, after all?!
Hisoka	...He's already absorbed in his role.
	(Knock knock)
Citron	Yes, yes, I will open it now~
Tasuku	......
Citron	Oh, Tasuku! What is the matter?
Tasuku	...Do you remember this manga?
Citron	--! Tasuku...why do you...!
Tsumugi	The etude has suddenly started.
Kazunari	Ron-ron is also in high spirits!
Hisoka	...Tasuku's pressure is amazing.
Muku	It's intense...! As expected of Tasuku-san!
Tasuku	I'm here to collect it on someone's behalf.
	I know it's in your room. If you don't get it out of there soon...you know what happens, don't you?
Citron	Urgh... Please wait a moment.
	Here.
Tasuku	Runrun☆Walk volume 6...no doubt about it. I have received it.
Citron	I did not mean to keep it...I just lost the timing to return it. Apologies, Muku.
Muku	Don't worry! It's also my bad that I forgot about it. Thank you so much!
Tasuku	Good grief...you should return what you borrowed immediately.
Tsumugi	I'm glad we managed to find it.
Citron	Tasuku is terrifying~
Muku	Thanks for your help, Tasuku-san!
Tasuku	Yeah.
Itaru	Hey, Tasuku, I heard you're a debt collector now?
Tasuku	Huh?
Itaru	Misumi stole my controller again, so I'd like you to get it back.
Tasuku	Rejected. Isn't this a good opportunity for you to refrain from playing games?
Itaru	Please don't say that! I can't move on without it! Just think of it as a role study!
Tasuku	Role study...
	Can't be helped, then.
Yuki	Tasuku is seriously way too easy, isn't he?
Tsumugi	Ahahaha...
