[SSR] Taichi | MANKAI Feature
I really like Roy too! I'll go all out for my performance since everyone voted for him~!

Today's Star: Roy - Part 1

*Director's default name as Izumi
Taichi: Ah, Ban-chan!
Banri: Taichi?
Taichi: So you had class today. Are you heading home now?
Banri: Nah, I still got something to do.
Taichi: Huh, what’s in that bag?
Banri: Some cloth and accessories that can be used as props.
Taichi: Oh~ You’re using them for assignment?
Banri: ‘Course not, these are for you.
Taichi: For me...?
Banri: We have this spin-off project of the supporting role based on the fan survey, right?
It’s your turn next, so I bought all these to go with your outfit.
You’re not the same size as you were then now, so some adjustments are needed.
Taichi: Eh!? It’s already my turn...?
Banri: What, you didn’t know?
Taichi: I didn't~! I gotta ask Director-sensei immediately when I get home!
Banri: Oh, take these while you’re at it then.
Taichi: Woah-! What, this many?
Banri: I’m in a bit of pickle here ‘cause I’ve been tasked with lotsa stuff while I’m shopping.
Taichi: Okay, let’s go shopping together then!
I’m home~!
Izumi: Welcome home, Taichi-kun.
Taichi: D-Director-sensei!
Izumi: Y-yeah? What’s up?
Taichi: I wanna know which of my supporting role is for the spin-off project...!
Izumi: Well, what the fans chose in the survey is...
Taichi: *gulp*
Izumi: It’s Roy from “DEAD/UNDEAD”!
Taichi: ......
Izumi: Um, you okay?
Taichi: I felt both happiness and pressure simultaneously that I froze for a second!
I see, so it’s Roy~.
Izumi: You can leave the script to Tsuzuru-kun. Let him know if you have any requests.
Taichi: Understood!
(If Roy got chosen...)
―Courtyard (Night)―
Taichi: Can I come in, Tsuzuru-kun?
Tsuzuru: Taichi? Go ahead.
―Room 102―
Taichi: Umm, it’s about the spin-off project...
Tsuzuru: That’s what I thought.
Taichi: Hehe, so you expected it.
Tsuzuru: ...So, what kind of story do you want?
Taichi: Well, when I heard that it’s Roy for the spin-off, I have just one request for the script.
You see, I was re-reading the script for our fourth performance in my room just now.
It was decided to be an undead story to put Achan’s make-up skill to good use, but reading it again reminds me that it’s a heavy story with many deaths.
Tsuzuru: Yeah, it is.
Taichi: Roy himself died twice, once when he was alive, and once when he turned into the undead...
That’s why...
I wanna see Roy’s happy scenes if we’re gonna make a spin-off for him, because it was such a sad story!
Tsuzuru: ...Hm, hm.
Thanks for the request. I’ll try writing with that for now.
Taichi: Ok, I’m looking forward to it!
__________________________
Today's Star: Roy - Part 2
__________________________
―Room 105 (Day)―
Taichi: (The script’s finally done. I’m excited to see how the story turns out.)
(Roy’s life with Ivan, before he turns into an undead...)
(He had such a small happiness in his life, although he died a sad death...)
(It’s so... heartbreaking.)
(Since I get to act as Roy once again, I gotta do my best to help him live a happy life...!)
―Practice Room―
Izumi: ...That’s enough for today.
Juza: Right.
Banri: It’s been a while since I last played Ivan, so I still can’t grasp the feeling yet.
Izumi: The spin-off is set before Roy turns into an undead, so the ambience might be slightly different from the main story.
Taichi: ......
Banri: What’s wrong? Something on your mind?
Taichi: It’s true, Roy from the main story is different from the Roy in the spin-off.
There wasn’t that much depiction of his daily life in the main story either...
I thought that, maybe the role study I’ve done for Roy is still not enough...
Izumi: In that case, why not try to think about what kind of person Roy was when he was still alive?
Taichi: Okay, I’ll try it!
Banri: ...Even if that’s the case, you don’t need to cling to me around 24/7.
Taichi: I’m sure Roy loves Ivan a lot, so they must’ve been working together to hunt down the undead!
That’s why I think being with you will help my role study!
Banri: Haah... It’s good that you’re passionate about your study.
Taichi: I’m sure Roy also thinks this kind of happiness doesn’t last forever.
Banri: ......
Taichi: Just kidding- ...wait, huh?
That’s not the way to the dorm, Ban-chan!
Banri: I know, just follow me.
Taichi: ......?
So yummy~! I was just thinking about trying out the new menu here.
Banri: I knew that.
Taichi: Huh, how come?
Banri: You wouldn’t shut up about it at the dorm.
Well, I was also interested from the ads.
Taichi: Hehe...Thank you, Ban-chan.
Banri: Oh right, about the script for the spin-off. Were you the one who requested for it?
Taichi: Yup. As soon as I know that Roy was chosen, I thought that the story theme would inevitably become serious.
I wanted to see Roy being happy before he became an undead, even if just slightly.
Banri: ......
Taichi: But, when I thought about Roy’s feelings while reading the script that Tsuzuru-kun wrote for me, I felt a different emotion.
I wonder if Roy, like Bill, gradually lost his rationality and became the undead.
I think his memories of everyday life with Ivan, will also gradually fade and be forgotten.
When I thought of that, no matter how happy the scenes are, my heart ached thinking about what happened afterwards.
It’s like, a bit different than I thought.
Banri: ...Ain’t that just fine?
Taichi: Eh?
Banri: That’s the kind of position Roy’s in.
The happier Roy and Ivan are depicted, the more believable it becomes that Ivan sought revenge after losing his younger brother.
So, what you felt is possibly one answer as a spin-off of “DEAD/UNDEAD”.
All that’s left to do is for you to accept Roy’s life.
Taichi: ......
...I’ll try to consult with Tsuzuru-kun about the script again.
__________________________
Today's Star: Roy - Part 3
__________________________
Juza: ...So the conclusion’s like this.
Banri: Your lines doesn’t change much before and after the script’s revised, y’know.
Juza: Aah? It’s natural to understand the overall flow of the script.
Taichi: Haha! It’s nice to see you guys still at it today too!
Izumi: Are you ready, Taichi-kun?
Taichi: Yeah! I can start anytime!
Izumi: Okay then, everyone! Do your best!
―Performance starts―
(...This is a story that sets before Roy turns into an undead.)
(Ivan and Roy are raiding a hangout of the undead.)
(Just when he thought he’s winning, Ivan sees something that creates an opening.)
Roy: “Watch out!”
Ivan: “Ah-!”
Roy: “Phew... It’s rare to see you screw up, Nii-chan.”
Ivan: “...My bad.”
“......”
Roy: “What did you pick up?”
Ivan: “Let’s move on.”
Roy: “H-hey! Wait for me...!”
“Hear this out, Doggy~!”
Doggy: “Hm?”
Roy: “I asked Ivan what he picked up earlier, but he won’t show it to me at all.”
Doggy: “Hogging to himself? What a bad brother he is.”
Ivan: “Shut up.”
“Can’t be helped... This is what I picked up.”
Doggy: “Ohh, a tin of candy. That’s pretty rare. It’s been a while since I’ve seen this package.”
Ivan: “Right?”
Roy: “I didn’t know you like candy so much that you want it all to yourself.”
Ivan: “......”
Doggy: “Pfft-.”
Roy: “...?”
Doggy: “So you don’t remember it anymore. Y’see, this is your favorite when you were a lil’ kid.”
Roy: “Eh?”
Ivan: “...From what I see it’s still unopened, but it could be poisoned.”
“I just didn’t want to show you until I can confirm it’s safe to eat.”
Roy: “Even so, you didn’t need to hide it from me!”
Ivan: “You’d steal and eat it out of my sight otherwise.”
Doggy: “Haha, true that.”
Roy: “You guys are mean. I won’t do that, just so you know.”
Ivan: “...Alright. Seems like it’s fine inside.”
“Here, take out your hand.”
Roy: “Okay!”
Doggy: “What about me?”
Ivan: “Yeah, yeah.”
Roy: “...Mmm~ So sweet! Right, Nii-chan?”
Ivan: “Yeah, it is.”
Doggy: “Yum, I forgot this is what it tastes like.”
Ivan: “Here, take this.”
Roy: “Eh? Why...?”
Ivan: “The rest is yours. Savor them carefully.”
Roy: “You’re giving it to me? Thank you, Nii-chan!”
Doggy: “......”
Ivan: “Wipe off that creepy look on your face.”
Doggy: “Such a foul-mouth as usual.”
Izumi: (After receiving the tin of candy from Ivan, Roy eats the candies one by one with care.)
Roy: “Oh man, I ate the last one.”
Ivan: “Doggy gave me the location of the undead hideout. We can go raid there.”
“You can buy candies or gum with the reward later.”
Roy: “Yeah! And then we’ll eat together with the three of us!”
Ivan: “I don’t really... Oh well, sure.”
Izumi: (And then three years had passed... Roy, who is now an undead, is wandering around being hungry.)
(He then picks up a tin of candy rolling at his feet.)
Roy: “...?”
*sniff sniff*
“...Smells bad.”
“...Only rocks. Empty.”
"......”
“...I want to eat humans.”
―Candy shop―
Taichi: (Is there a tin of candy here?)
...There it is!
Excuse me, I want to buy this please.
―Lounge (Evening)―
Taichi: ......
......
*nom*
Izumi: Taichi-kun seems kinda down, is he okay?
Banri: Well, that guy’s always been the type to empathize with his role.
I’m sure he’s fine.
Izumi: I see...
Taichi: ...Even if Roy forgets, I won’t forget.
Story Clear!

[SR] Taichi | Reminiscence of Blooming
There were feelings of frustration, as well as regrets and repentance. Still, I was able to keep running without going off the rails because everyone acknowledged me.
Lead Skill: A friend I admire, who is my comrade and also my rival
Adlib Skill: Right side, good! Left side, good! My smile, good!

―Yosei Uni (Day)―
Taichi: Haah...
Juza: ...Still not goin' home yet?
Taichi: Oh, Juza-san! Are you planning to go back now?
Juza: Yeah. But I'll listen to you if there's anythin' you're troubled with...
Taichi: Eh?
(Is he worried for me because I let out a sigh...?)
Thanks, Juza-san!
But it's no big deal, really! I just can't decide on which place to introduce for the video, that's all.
Juza: The one for the commemorative event on Inste?
Taichi: Yup, that one! Also, since the weather's good today, I was thinking of taking a detour somewhere before heading home...
And it's been a while since I've been to the karaoke, so I thought I could try singing to my heart's content once in a while!
Juza: ...I see.
Taichi: I- I told you it's not a big deal!
Please don't think that I sighed so seriously over such a small thing!
Juza: I wasn't really thinking that...
Taichi: So yeah, Juza-san!
If you have time today, wanna go to karaoke with me?
Juza: Karaoke, huh...
Taichi: Ah, it's fine to decline if you have plans after this!
Juza: ...No, I don't mind goin'. I was just reminded of the time when we were still in O High.
Taichi: O High?
Juza: Just like today, you invited me and Tenma to karaoke on our way back from school a few times.
Taichi: We really had lots of fun back then~! I might as well invite Ten-chan today...
Tenma: You called me?
Taichi: Wah! Great timing, Ten-chan!
Tenma: What do you mean?
Taichi: Juza-san and I just talked about going to karaoke! Wanna come along, Ten-chan?
Tenma: ...Sorry, I gotta leave for work after this.
Taichi: Oh, really? Okay, do your best at work!
Juza: You seem busy these days. Don't push yourself too hard.
Tenma: Thanks, you two. Go have fun at the karaoke.
―Karaoke Box―
Taichi: ...Ha~! Like I thought, it feels refreshing after singing all out!
Huh? You didn't put any songs to sing yet, Juza-san?
Juza: I got too absorbed in listenin' to your singin' that I forgot to do it. That song just now, I remember you also sang that last time we went to karaoke.
Taichi: Yeah, I did! It's the theme song for the drama that Ten-chan starred in! We sang in duet at that time.
It was a bit hard to sing while playing a tambourine, but it was really fun!
(I already feel nostalgic about that, huh~. We make a lot of memories each time we go here.)
(Come to think of it, we often come here to do karaoke. Maybe I should introduce this place for Inste...?)
Juza: You sure can sing even while playin' a tambourine. I don't think I can do that...
Taichi: It's 'cause I was trained by Ten-chan and Ban-chan! I feel like my tambourine skills improved thanks to them...
(Ah, that's right!)
Can we take a selfie together, Juza-san? I wanna send a pic to Ten-chan...
Juza: 's fine by me.
Taichi: Okay, here's the mic for you, and a tambourine for me...
Say cheese~!
*snap*
Juza: Was that okay?
Taichi: Totally! I sent him the pic and said "Let's go together next time"!
Now then, I gotta continue to liven up your song with my tambourine skills~!
Juza: Yeah, countin' on you for that.
―Lounge (Night)―
Tenma: I'm home.
Taichi: Welcome home, Ten-chan! Did you see the pic I sent on LIME?
Yeah, sorry for the late reply. I also saw the picture of you slightly cut off.
Taichi: Ahaha. I tried my best taking the pic while holding a tambourine, but my hands went a little crazy...
But then I thought, "This should be okay enough"!
Tenma: Yeah, I can really tell that you had fun from the picture.
Taichi: I did, but because I sang your drama's theme song by myself, I kinda felt lonely.
Tenma: It's the song for the drama that I was in, so of course it can't be good without me around.
Taichi: Yup, so let's duet together next time!
__________________________
Veludo Town Oshi Spot! ~Video: Taichi~ - Part 2
__________________________
―Karaoke Box (Day)―
Taichi: We came all the way here, so let's sing together today, Ten-chan!
Tenma: Don't get ahead of yourself! You need to shoot the introduction video first.
Taichi: I- I know that~! I was just joking...
Wait, why're you suddenly holding the remote control!
Tenma: Well, I saw that the theme song for the drama I starred in was in the rankings, and I got curious so...
Taichi: You're right! It's amazing that it's in 3rd place! As expected from a drama starring Ten-chan!
Tenma: Heh, I guess so.
No, wait- Just get started and film already!
Taichi: Ah, just wait, please~! I'm doing the preparations right now!
~~~~~
The person to introduce their recommended spot for this time is... Taichi Nanao, from Autumn Troupe in MANKAI Company!
Tenma: And the one in charge of filming is Tenma Sumeragi from Summer Troupe.
Taichi: Many thanks for Ten-chan! Now then, the place I'm going to introduce is here! The karaoke box!
There are times when I have the sudden urge to sing...
This happens to you guys too, right? How about you, Ten-chan?
Tenma: Quite few times.
Taichi: Thought so! At times like that, I always come here!
It's close to the station, has the latest models, it's pretty clean, and there's also the drinks station...
This is like, the best place to sing!
Tenma: I mean, it's a karaoke box after all.
Taichi: Well, yeah, that's true but~!
Oh right, the Autumn Troupe of MANKAI Company, of which I am affiliated with, once performed a band-themed play...
Tenma: Ahh, you mean "the Rad Red", where Taichi played the lead role. You guys also held a live performance of an original song during the play.
Taichi: Yup! I actually came here and wrote that original song at that time!
I've also come here with the other troupe members to sing, and many other fun things happened...
This place holds many memories for me.
*ding*
...Wait, what!?
It's the theme song of Ten-chan's drama! Why...!?
Tenma: Taichi! Your elbow's pressing the button on the remote control!
Taichi: Agh, it's true!! I should stop this, right!?
Tenma: I'll do that, so you just keep focusing on the video...!
Taichi: G-got it!
Umm, anyway, karaoke is the best! So everyone should come and hang out here too!!
―Lounge (Night)―
Tenma: ...Have you posted it yet?
Taichi: Uhh, just a second.
~~VLOG starts~~
Caption: Something unexpected happened during the introduction of karaoke box!?
Taichi: "I've also come here with the other troupe members to sing, and many other fun things happened..."
"This place holds many memories for me."
*ding*
"...Wait, what!?"
"It's the theme song of Ten-chan's drama! Why...!?"
~~VLOG ends~~
Taichi: I've successfully submitted my post!
Thanks for getting me permission to use the theme song, Ten-chan! I didn't have to do a retake thanks to that!
Tenma: I wanted everyone to see your video too. The way you panicked is amusing no matter how many times I watched it.
Taichi: Now that you said it, that was a bit embarrassing...!
Tenma: Hey, don't talk too loud or you'll hurt your throat. That awful voice is because of the karaoke you and the others went to yesterday, right?
Taichi: Uhuu, I had too much fun singing that I overused my throat...
Sorry, Ten-chan, even though you told me to be careful.
Tenma: ...Well, I did expect that this would happen.
Here, have some honey. It's the same one I gave you before. This should make your throat feel better. (1)
Taichi: Wahh! Thanks, Ten-chan! You're so kind that my heart's gonna get captivated again...!
Tenma: It'd be a problem if you can't go to karaoke for a while. Mostly worried about your tambourine skills, though...
Taichi: I can still play the tambourine even if my voice gets hoarse! Or rather, I want us to duet again some time!
Tenma: I get it already, so stop shouting!
Take care of your throat so that it'll heal quicker.
Taichi: Okay!
Story Clear!

[R] Taichi | Those Who Hide in the Snow
Every time I go to the storage room to look for props, things always appear or disappear, so it feels like treasure hunting.
__________________________
The Return of Lord Taichi!? - Part 1
__________________________
ーRoom 106 (Day)ー
*knock knock*
Azami: Who is it?
Oh, Taichi-san.
Taichi: Sorry to bother you! Can I borrow the Yaksha horns that you used during the Ayakashi Festival before?! (1)
Azami: Yaksha horns...? Oh, does this have to do with the demon role that you and Sakuya-san going to play as guest performers?
Taichi: Yeah! I was thinking of what I could do before our practice starts.
And when you think of demons, horns come to mind, right? I just thought they're what I need to look the part.
My demon role has a lot of horns on the head, and they're kinda similar to your Yaksha horns...!
I actually don't know if you have the full set costume, but I thought it won't hurt to ask you for it!
Azami: I see. But that costume was for the summer festival's salesperson to wear, so even if they still have it, it'll take a while to pull it out.
Taichi: Agh, you're right.
Azami: Have Director call them...
...Nevermind. Why don't you try looking around the storage room? You might unexpectedly find something there.
Taichi: Oh yeah! It's like a magical storage room where anything you want can come out if you dig deep enough!
Azami: I think the room's just being messy, though.
Taichi: Aight, I'll go and look for something there!
Azami: Let me know if you still don't find anything. I'll try asking the staff for the Yaksha horns then.
Taichi: That'd be a great help! Thanks, A-chan!
ーStorage Roomー
Hmm... I guess there isn't one here...
(A-chan said all that, but I'll feel bad asking Director-sensei and the townspeople for help just to lend me the horns only...)
Ah, I can just make one myself!
Oh, but I'd be better off doing something else if I have that much time... Hngh...
Aaahh~! Won't horns just sprout on my head already?! Anyone, please help me and grant my wish~!
Haha, just kidding.
...Hm? M-my head is kinda itchy. Feels like something's digging into my scalp...
Horns?: Are you the one who had summoned me?
Taichi: Huh? Who was that...?
Horns?: Were you not saying you needed my help?
Taichi: EHH!? N-no way... I've got horns now! Are they also... Hngh-! I can't get them off!!
(Noooo~! The cursed horns are back again!) (2)
Horns?: Good grief, you have been so tumultuous since earlier. That behavior is very unbecoming of you. To be more proper, you must walk like this.
Taichi: (My body is moving on its own!?)
Horns?: I haven't the slightest idea of the snow spirit you have in mind, but surely they are something similar to me.
Hmm... Not having an attendant is out of the question. Let us look for them.
Taichi: P-please wait a second! Everyone will be surprised, so anything but that~!!

The Return of Lord Taichi!? - Part 2
__________________________
ーHallwayー
Horns?: Now then, is there anyone around?
Taichi: (Not only my body, but my mouth also moves on its own!)
(Back then, it seems that I got possessed by a Jiangshi after Ban-chan stuck an unknown talisman on me...)
(But I'm currently being possessed while fully conscious right now!! I'm gonna get told off by Ban-chan and Sakyo-nii again~!!)
Eeek...! Please don't let me bump into someone here...!
Chikage: Oh, Taichi. Good morning.
...What are those horns?
Horns?: I don't like this guy.
Chikage: Eh?
Taichi: Ahhh, nope, nothing! The weather is good today as usual, huh! Now then, if you'll excuse me!
Chikage: What was that...?
ーBalconyー
Taichi: (Surely there's no one-)
Homare: A shining snow shower, a sparkling sun shower... Pouring down on us-
Taichi: (Gaaahh-!! There is~!)
Homare: Oh, hello there, Taichi-kun. Care to have some tea as well?
Hm? Why do you have horns there?
Horns?: The elegance is impeccable, but I do not believe we can get along.
Homare: ...Pardon?
Taichi: Ahaha, the tea sure smells good, huh! But my tummy kinda hurts right now, so I'll have the tea another time!
Homare: Is that so? Take care, then.
Still, I wonder what's with the horns...?
ーLoungeー
Sakyo: We need to send the year-end gift to the chairman, and then...
Banri: Ah man, it's already the time. What should we do with the end-of-year gift?
Taichi: (Oh no, no, no! What should I do?! I ran into the people I want to avoid the most!)
Banri: Oh, it's Taichi.
...Hey, I've seen that horns somewhere before.
Horns?: Hoh... This guy is not worth it, but...
The other guy here looks well-taught. He seems to be informed of civility, so he's perfect.
Banri: Hah? Why you...
Taichi: Awawa! Ban-chan, this is-.
Horns?: Hey, that four-eyes over there. I'm talking about you.
Sakyo: Ahh?
Taichi: It wasn't me just now, Sakyo-nii! It's the horns' doing!
Horns?: As you can see, he is not behaving properly. Having an attendant by his side should make things a little better. A few days should suffice, so serve him well.
Sakyo: ...This sure seems familiar, hm?
Taichi: I'm really sorry about this, Ban-chan and Sakyo-nii...! Seems like I got possessed again...
Sakyo: My god, what did you do this time.
Taichi: Well...
~~~~~
Sakyo: Now I get it. Your wish backfired on you.
Banri: Should we do the talisman again?
Horns?: Do you truly think that would work against me?
Banri: This guy's irritating as heck.
Taichi: Sorry, Ban-chan!
Um, so, what should I do to remove these horns?
Horns?: They will be gone if you are able to maintain the same dignity even without me around.
Sakyo: It might be pointless for asking, but... Is there any hope?
Horns?: From what I see, there is none.
Taichi: Eh! No way~. So you're telling me I'm gonna be stuck like this for life!?
Horns?: If you do not want that, then train yourself to develop the dignity worthy of my level. Do that and they will come out then.
Taichi: Urk, this is the most spartan role study I've ever done so far...
Horns?: Hey, 'Four-eyes', carry this through together as his attendant. He won't grow any further otherwise.
Sakyo: That's none of my business. And who are you calling 'Four-eyes'?
Horns?: This guy here had mentioned that this was for role study. For a place like this, it is not possible for it to be none of your business, no?
Sakyo: Tsk, what awfully talkative horns.
Banri: Yeah, the one before this didn't talk at all.
Horns?: ...Seems like I have no other choice. Since thou would not do it, I will train him.
~~~~~
Where is the dignity in that!
Taichi: *huff, puff* I'm getting mentally tired from switching places... When will I be free from the horns~!
Tenma: What's with the ruckus here?
Taichi: Ten-chan! I want these horns to come off already~!!
Tenma: Just take them off then.
Banri: We're sayin' that he can't. He got possessed by somethin' weird. Until he has the dignity, he can't take 'em off at all.
Tenma: ...Hah? I don't get it. You really can't do it?
Banri: Try and touch 'em.
*Tenma touches them, then the horns disappear*
Tenma: W-what the!?
Banri: Huh?
Sakyo: It disappeared...?
Taichi: Eh!? You serious!?
Horns?: I can see in him that he possesses a great dignity.
Tenma: What's this voice...?
Banri: It sure resonates directly in my head.
Horns?: He is still somewhat immature, but he has good manners.
Although he does not have as much civility as 'Four-eyes' does, he is the most akin to me. You shall ask this person for guidance from now on.
Tenma: ...What is he talking about?
Sakyo: ...He was annoying to the end, but then he appointed Sumeragi and disappear, just like that.
Banri: Guess it's 'cause he felt they were kindred spirits.
Taichi: Seems like it...
Story Clear!

🍁TAICHI'S NEW HOME SCREEN VOICE LINES🍁
Morning
"Good morning! ...Ah, you got a bed hair! I'm gonna fix it, so you better not move~!"
Noon
"...Hah-! I was looking at my phone with Hisoka-san next to me, and before I knew it, I fell asleep too!"
Evening
"I just saw this couple flirting at the train station ticket gate! Ugh, I'm so jealous of them~."
Night
"You can't fall asleep? Well then, you can stay up late with me specially for tonight!

―Taichi’s House (Day)―
Taichi: Look at these~! They’re photos of the hot springs that we went to for our training camp!
Mirai: Wow, so many pretty hot springs!
Masato: I wanna go too!
Taichi: We should visit there with the whole family next~.
Masato: Huh? You’re wearing a weird outfit here.
Taichi: Oh, we had a play while we were there, and I performed wearing that. I played a demon role so there are horns on my head!
Masato: You’re right! They look cool...!
Mirai: You look really good with them, Oniichan! Both the horns and outfit!
Taichi: Hehe, thank you!
Mirai: All the people who watched your play must be lucky~. I wanted to see this cool-looking Oniichan acting.
Masato: Me too!
Taichi: Aww, that makes me so happy...!
I’ll make sure to show you if there’s another chance then.
―Lounge―
Sakyo: Alright, I guess that’s all the work for today.
Izumi: Seems so! Thanks for the hard work, Sakyo-san! Should I brew some tea?
Sakyo: Sorry, but I have plans that I must attend to after this.
Izumi: Is that so.
...Ah, I think I’m going to reorganize the storage room. It seems like we’ve got more stuff in there before I know it.
Sakyo: Just let Matsukawa do that.
That guy’s always come up with excuses to get out of cleaning the storage room.
Izumi: That’s not true. I’ll have you know that he helped me out the other day.
Sakyo: Even so, it’s always you who do it every time.
Izumi: Well, I just think that those who can when they can, should do it. I have some time after this, so it should be fine...
Taichi: Ah, Director-sensei and Sakyo-nii! Oh no, did I interrupt your work!?
Sorry! I’ll leave right away after I grab a drink!
Sakyo: Hold on, Nanao. Are you free right now?
Taichi: Eh? Uhh, well, I am... Why do you ask?
Sakyo: She’s planning to reorganize the storage room. Help her out if you’re free.
It’s unfortunate that I can’t lend a hand since I have something to do later on.
Taichi: Sure, I can do that!
Izumi: Oh, you don’t need to! I’ll be fine on my own...
Taichi: But won’t it be tough if you need to carry something heavy? I’ve got some time anyway, so let me help you!
Izumi: Well, thanks, I appreciate that. I’ll count on you then, Taichi-kun!

To Remove the Demon's Horns - Part 2

―Storage Room―
Taichi: Should I put the box here?
Izumi: That’s a pretty old-looking box. What’s inside?
Taichi: Let’s see... Looks like some assorted props. They’re all stuff that I’ve never seen before.
Ah, I spotted some demon’s horns! They look like the ones I wore at the training camp!
Izumi: They really do! But I wonder when these were used...?
Taichi: Hmm... They look pretty worn out, so maybe the first generation used them?
Izumi: That’s plausible...
Taichi: Speaking of horns, I showed the photo of me as a demon during our training camp to my younger siblings.
They both said they wanted to see it with their own eyes! I was so happy at that time~.
Izumi: Fufu, I hope they can one day.
Taichi: Yeah! Ma-kun especially likes the horns.
I know! How about I send him a picture of me wearing these?
Izumi: Haha, that’d be nice! I hope he’ll be happy with that.
Taichi: I hope so! Now then...
Equipped~!
...Hm? Hmm??
Izumi: What’s wrong?
Taichi: I had a weird feeling just now... Like, it kinda feels like they penetrate into my head somehow...?
Izumi: What?? How about you try taking them off?
Taichi: Right. ...Wait, huh? HUH!?
I- I can’t get them off...!
Izumi: That can’t be...! Can I try pulling them?
Taichi: Please do!
Izumi: Here I go... Hngh-!
Taichi: Ow, ow, ow! That hurts~!
Izumi: Does this mean... they’re stuck to your head...?
Taichi: Uueeh, I think so... But normally, it’s not possible for this to happen, right...?
Izumi: Hmm...
―Lounge (Night)―
Banri: ...So, you tried putting on the horns at the storage room, and then suddenly you couldn’t get them off at all.
Taichi: Huhuu, it’s like they’re part of my head now~! I’m not gonna be stuck looking like this forever, am I?!
Omi: Hmm, there must be a way we can fix this.
Izumi: If only we could know the cause, or at least the reason...
Taichi: Me and Director-sensei have been thinking, but we couldn’t come up anything...
Sakyo: You sure about that? Maybe you did something bad, and that’s your punishment for it.
Taichi: Ehh!? That can’t be it! I’m sure that-!
......
Azami: Sounds like you know something.
Taichi: Urk-!
Uhh, you see... I accidentally dropped a bundle of receipts from the table...
I hurriedly put them back in date order before Sakyo-nii came back, but I somehow got them all wrong...!
Sakyo: I did think it was weird that the dates were all over the place when they weren’t a few moments ago... So it was your doing.
Taichi: Wahhh, I’m sorry~! I didn’t mean to~!
Juza: He tried puttin' them right again, so can’t say that’d be the cause.
Taichi: Juza-san...!
Omi: Still, this reminds me of the Jiangshi incident. (1)
Taichi: Oh, the one when I got possessed by a Jiangshi ghost...
Banri: Well, this time’s better than that.
Azami: How‘d you resolve it back then?
Izumi: If I recall correctly, Muku-kun used the amulet that he made on Taichi-kun, and then he was back to normal again.
Juza: Yeah. Try askin’ for his help again this time.
Taichi: You’re right! Okay, I’m heading to his room now!
Izumi: (Everyone is so calm and composed... I guess since bizarre occurrences happen a lot in this dorm, they’ve become immune to them...)

―Room 202 (Night)―
Muku: Your horns look really cool...!
Taichi: Hehe, you think so?
...Wait, no! That’s not what I came here for! Mucchan, can you think of any solutions for these?
Muku: Horns that won’t come off... Hmm...
Taichi: Maybe I’m cursed or something...
Muku: Ah...! If it really is a curse, then I think I figured out how to dispel it!
Though it’s just based on a manga I’ve read...
Taichi: You serious?! I don’t care if it’s from a manga, please tell me...!
Muku: Okay, so... There’s a chapter in which the main protagonist got a bit carried away and thus they were inflicted with a cursed tail that couldn’t be removed no matter how hard they tried.
Taichi: No way, that’s like how I am right now...! So what happened next?!
Muku: The protagonist did some research and found that they needed to accumulate good deeds to break the curse.
And so, they did many acts of kindness for other people. In the end, the curse was lifted, and they finally got the tail removed!
Taichi: For other people... Kindness... I get it now!
Muku: Well, it’s still just a manga after all, so I don’t know if it would have any effect on your horns or not...
Taichi: It’s more than enough! Thanks, Mucchan!
I’ve got no other clues anyway, so I’ll try out the methods that you told me just now~!
―Lounge (Evening)―
Izumi: (I messed up at work today...)
(They told me not to worry about it, but I might not be able to assist other theatre companies like this...)
Hahh...
Taichi: Oh, you’re back! Welcome home, Director-sensei!
Izumi: I’m home... Your horns are still on your head, I see.
Taichi: They are~. I tried following Mucchan’s advice and did lots of good deeds...
For the whole day, I’ve been helping other members, picking up trash, and many other things. But they don’t seem to work at all~...
Izumi: Is that so...
Taichi: ? ...Director-sensei, did something happen to you today?
Izumi: Eh...?
Taichi: I mean, it’s fine if nothing happened!
I just thought that you look less cheerful than you usually do...!
Izumi: Oh... It’s written all over my face, isn’t it. That’s a bit embarrassing.
Taichi: So I was right then. You don’t need to tell me about it if you don’t wanna.
Izumi: ...Thank you. I actually made a mistake while I was helping out with other theatre company and that made me feel a bit upset.
I mean, I did think of reflecting on it and improving myself since it’s true that I slipped up, so...
Taichi: Hm~... You’re bound to feel down if you made a mistake, be it big or small...
But! I think you’re amazing!
Izumi: Eh?
Taichi: Cuz like, you’re not just feeling upset about it, you actually tried to reflect on it and improve yourself.
That part of you makes me think you’re super cool! I respect you a lot for that!
Izumi: Thank you, Taichi-kun. I’m kinda embarrassed hearing you have that much respect for me, which I think is a bit exaggerated, but... I do feel happy.
Taichi: No, no, I’m not exaggerating-.
Izumi: ...Hm!? Oh my gosh, Taichi-kun! You don’t have the horns anymore!
Taichi: Wait, really!?
You’re right, it’s not there...! Does that mean they’ve disappeared...?
Izumi: I-I guess...? It vanished when I looked away for a second...
Taichi: Why suddenly though...?
Izumi: Hmm...
Maybe it’s because you accumulated good deeds for helping others all day today...
And what triggered it to disappear was when you encouraged me. ...I genuinely felt happy with your words earlier.
Taichi: Hehe, I’m glad I was of help to you!
🌸 Choice 1: I feel better!
Izumi: Not only that, but I’m feeling better more than I usually am!
Taichi: Really? That makes me happy too!
I’ll do all I can to cheer you up, so if you ever feel down again, just call me!
I’ll rush over to you, anytime and anywhere~!
Izumi: I think I’ll do that. I’ll be counting on you when that time comes!
🌸 Choice 2: Was I of help?
Izumi: If the horns disappear because you cheered me up, would that mean I was a bit helpful to you?
Taichi: It’s “not a bit” for me! I’m sure it’s all thanks to you that they’re gone now!
Izumi: Then maybe it was a good thing that I got upset from a mistake I did at work today.
No wait, making a mistake is really not a good thing...!
Taichi: Director-sensei...! Such a great positive thinking!
Honestly, I’ve got nothing other than respect for your thoughts and actions!
Izumi: Haha, you’re praising me too much. But still, thank you.
Taichi: Anyway, I’m glad I’m free from the horns now~!
I seriously thought I’d never get to take them off ever again... I’m gonna have the other Autumn Troupe members to take a look at me later.
Izumi: Haha, I agree. It seems like they’re gone now, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Taichi: Yeah! Well, besides that, I’ve asked them for help with the horns, so I wanna give them a status update.
Muku also helped me once again, so I gotta buy lots of chocolate as thanks for him!

[SSR] Tsuzuru | Everyone from the Minagi Family
I worked on this for quite a while and when I decided to post after it was done, I kept it in drafts because I realised a bit too late that someone already translated this :) Though, it's such a waste to discard the efforts I put in, so I'll post this as a practice.
__________________________
Midnight Crunch Time - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
―Hallway (Night)―
Izumi: Let’s see, what are the plans for today...
Hm? Did something just fell?
(This is... a photo of Minagi family? That means this belongs to Tsuzuru-kun.)
(I wonder if he’s in his room... Huh?)
―Balcony―
Tsuzuru: ......
Izumi: (Seems like he’s in the middle of doing his work. He’s so focused... Is it alright if I call him out?)
(I guess it’s fine since it’s just a photo.)
Hello, Tsuzuru-kun.
Tsuzuru: Oh, Director. What’s up?
Izumi: Sorry if I bother you. This photo is yours, right?
Tsuzuru: Hm? ...Ah! Yeah, that’s mine!
Izumi: I found it over there just now.
Tsuzuru: Argh, my bad. I didn’t even realize it fell.
Thank you, Director.
Izumi: That’s a nice photo you got there.
Tsuzuru: Kaoru came to my part-time work today. I got it from him then.
He also told me to send his regards to you.
Izumi: I’m glad to know he’s doing well.
Oh, how are Tadoru-san and Meguru-san doing?
Tsuzuru: They’ll be back from overseas at the end of this month. I’m planning on going home too.
Though, I doubt I’d be able to...
Izumi: Why’s that?
Tsuzuru: Truth is...
*flashback*
―Veludo Way (Night)―
Tsuzuru: Thanks, Kaoru.
Kaoru: Sorry for coming in out of the blue.
Tsuzuru: Well, I really didn’t expect for you to come.
Kaoru: I just happen to pass by chance, and I wanted to see you working.
Please send my regards to Director-san too.
Tsuzuru: Got it.
Kaoru: Oh right, I’ve been meaning to hand this to you.
Tsuzuru: ?
__________________________
Midnight Crunch Time - Part 2
__________________________
Kaoru: I printed out the photo that we took when you were back at home before.
Tsuzuru: Wow... We’ve been taking photos with phone lately and leaving them as they are, but it’s kinda nice to have a printed photo like this.
Kaoru: Right?
I guess the next time you come home is when Tadoru-oniichan comes home at the end of this month.
Tsuzuru: Right... I said something like that, didn’t I.
Kaoru: Meguru-oniichan said that he’ll show up at home then too.
Tsuzuru: End of the month, huh... The deadline for my assignments and my part-time work might overlap then...
Kaoru: That sounds tough. Don’t push yourself if you’re busy.
Tsuzuru: Yeah. Still, I wanna see you guys, so I’ll try to finish them as soon as I can.
Kaoru: Tadoru-oniichan and Meguru-oniichan wasn’t included in the photo from last time, so I hope we can get a photo with all of us together next time.
Tsuzuru: I hope so.
*flashback ends*
...And that’s why I might not have the time to go home.
Even so, I’ll do everything I can to show up, so I’m starting with what I can do for now.
Izumi: I see.
🌸CHOICE 1: Don’t push yourself too hard
Izumi: Don’t push yourself until you pass out like when you’re writing your script.
You’re too focused when you concentrate that you forgot to eat and sleep.
Tsuzuru: ...I’ll be fine. It’ll be all for nothing if I pass out.
Besides, writing script is something that I like to do, aside from the report.
🌸CHOICE 2: You’re very family oriented
Izumi: I see you’re very family oriented.
Tsuzuru: Hm, there were times I wanted to be alone when I’m at home, but...
I figured that living apart like this makes me miss them.
Izumi: Your house is very lively after all.
Tsuzuru: Well, the dorm isn’t that much different. They both are precious places to me.
I’ll keep writing more good stories as the playwright for MANKAI Company.
Izumi: Fufu, I’m looking forward to it.
―Dining Room (Night)―
Izumi: Our dinner tonight is Massaman Curry!
Chikage: The scent of the cardamom and coriander is nice.
Izumi: I got my hands on some good spices, so I tried using them.
Citron: Oriental aroma is wafting through the air~. It stimulates my appetite!
Masumi: Your curry is the best in the world...
Sakuya: What kind of curry is it?
Izumi: It’s a curry of chicken, potatoes, onions, and peanuts simmered in spices and coconut milk.
Sakuya: It's quite unique to have peanuts included! I’m excited to know what it tastes like.
Izumi: I made a lot, so you can have seconds!
Masumi: I’ll eat the whole pot until there’s nothing left...
Izumi: You don’t need to eat the pot too.
Chikage: The spices work well, and the ingredients are simmered soft and tender.
Itaru: You sound like a nagging food critic.
Chikage: The "nagging" part was unneeded.
Sakuya: It’s very delicious, Director!
Citron: It feels like I’m traveling in a foreign country~!
Izumi: Fufu, I’m glad you like it.
Tsuzuru: *yawns*
Citron: What a big yawn!
Izumi: Not enough sleep?
Itaru: Were you grinding for a game event all-night too?
Tsuzuru: I’m not the same as you. I’ve told you before that I’m trying to finish my report.
Chikage: College report?
Tsuzuru: Yes. Though, it’s not going smoothly because there’s a lot that I need to research...
Masumi: He stayed up late last night too.
Izumi: Really?
Sakuya: Are you okay, Tsuzuru-kun?
Tsuzuru: Well, I’ve got a lot of part-time work, so there’s not that much progress...
I need to concentrate on finishing it soon, or else I won’t be able to go home... I’ll get it done somehow.
Thank you for the food. I’m gonna head back to my room.
Izumi: I hope he’s not working too hard...
Sakuya: He looked really tired too.
Chikage: He’s a workaholic after all.
Citron: We’ll ‘curse’ him if he passes out! [1]
Izumi: ‘Nurse’, you mean.
Itaru: He’d get instant death if you do that with the way he is right now.
Sakuya: I hope his assignment goes well...
Izumi: I hope so too...
Masumi: ......

―Room 102 (Night)―
Masumi: *zzz...*
Tsuzuru: *yawns*
...It’s never-ending.
(My shoulders are stiff, and my eyes hurt too...)
I’m so tired... Oh, it’s already that late?
*yawns*
(...Guess I’ll take a nap.)
*snores*
Masumi: ......
Tsuzuru: Mm...
(Shoot, I overslept...)
Hm? A blanket...?
(There’s even a jelly drink...)
(I doubt anyone would come into the room in the middle of the night like this.)
(So that means...)
Masumi: *zzz...*
Tsuzuru: ...Thanks, Masumi.
Alright, let’s wrap this up with one final push.
ーHallway (Day)ー
Izumi: Oh, Tsuzuru-kun. Good morning.
Tsuzuru: Good morning.
Izumi: How’s your assignment going?
Tsuzuru: I think I’ll make it in time.
Izumi: That’s great. Sounds like you can finally go home now.
Tsuzuru: Yeah, I’m also glad that I can adjust my part-time shifts.
And here, look... I got this from Masumi.
Izumi: A jelly drink...? He brought you a refreshment?
Tsuzuru: Seems like it. It was on my desk while I was napping.
Izumi: The way he didn’t give it to you in person is very Masumi-like.
Tsuzuru: Right?
I never thought that Masumi, who used to argue with me a lot when I first joined the troupe, would come to support me like this.
Izumi: ...You’re right. Both of you have such a great relationship.
Tsuzuru: Well, he's like a cute little brother now, just like Sakuya.
Masumi: ...You’re too close with Director, Tsuzuru.
Tsuzuru: Oh, Masumi.
Izumi: Good morning, Masumi-kun.
Masumi: Good morning. You’re very cute today too.
Izumi: Ahaha... You sure are lively too.
Tsuzuru: Hey, Masumi.
Masumi: ...What?
Tsuzuru: You’re the one who left this for me, right?
I finished my report without a hitch thanks to it.
Masumi: ...Director was worried, so.
Tsuzuru: Thanks.
Masumi: So annoying. I want headpats from Director herself, not you.
Tsuzuru: Yeah, yeah.
Masumi: ...I told you to stop it. I’m not a dog.
Tsuzuru: Come on, isn’t it fine?
Masumi: No, it’s not.
Izumi: (It’s so heart-warming to see that both of them are like real brothers.)

[SSR] Taichi | What's Wrong with Being a Ghost
__________________________
The Arrival of Lord Jiangshi Taichi!? - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
ーStorage Room (Day)ー
Taichi: Director-sensei! Should I put the boards here?
Izumi: Yes, it’s better if you lean them against the wall! Omi-kun and Banri-kun, please place the desk over there!
Omi: Got it.
Let’s place this down on the count of three, Banri.
Banri: Roger that. 1, 2, 3-.
Sakyo: Are you done tidying up?
Izumi: Yes, that was the last item!
Everyone, thanks for helping me carry all the stage equipment! It really helps a lot.
Juza: No need for thanks.
Omi: He’s right. They’re all stuff that we used, so it’s a given that we do the clean-up.
Taichi: Besides, there’s no way we can let you hold something heavy and go back and forth so many times!
Banri: Second that. You can always count on us if you need help.
Izumi: You guys...! Thank you so much!
Sakyo: Hurry and get out if you have nothing else to do here. I’m going to close the storage room.
Taichi: Oka-y!
...Huh?
Izumi: What’s wrong, Taichi-kun?
Taichi: There’s something like a talisman stuck on the wall over there.
Izumi: What? Oh, you’re right.
Omi: Was it there before...?
Banri: Who knows? I didn’t notice it until now.
Juza: First time seein’ it. What about you, Sakyo-san?
Sakyo: No clue, I don’t recognize it either.
Taichi: Eh... Even Sakyo-nii doesn’t know? T-that’s a bit creepy...
Banri: Come on, it’s nothing to be scared of.
Izumi: Ah!
(He tore off the talisman...!)
Taichi: EHH!? B-Ban-chan! You’re gonna get divine retribution, you know!
Izumi: Yeah! I also think you should just leave it be...
Banri: Both of you are scaredy-cats. Everything’s fine~. I’ll show you proof right now.
Taichi: ...B-Ban-chan, why’re you coming closer towards me...?
Banri: Here ya go!
Taichi: --!
Izumi: What the-! What are you doing, Banri-kun?!
Banri: I’m just demonstrating that you won’t be punished merely by one talisman. Look, nothing’s happening to Taichi when I put it on him.
Izumi: Y-you’re right, but...
Juza: You coulda put it on yourself, not him.
Banri: Hah? What’re you sayin? It’d be easier to understand if I tried it on someone who’s scared.
Sakyo: Hey, stop fighting. Come on and get out of the room already.
Izumi: Y-yes, sir. Sorry.
Taichi: ......
Banri: Taichi? What’s gotten into you?
Taichi: ......
Izumi: (I feel like something’s off about him...)
Are you okay, Taichi-kun? Do you feel unwell...?
Taichi?: Cease making a fuss, human woman.
Izumi: Eh?
Taichi?: I have just awoken, so refrain from yapping in my ear.
Banri: ...!?
Izumi: EHH!? T-Taichi-kun?!

The Arrival of Lord Jiangshi Taichi!? - Part 2

―Lounge―
Taichi?: ...Hm, quite plain-looking this couch is.
Izumi: (Something’s wrong with him...)
Sakyo: Why’s Nanao acting like that...
Omi: It’s not like the usual Taichi at all.
Taichi?: Nanao? Taichi? Whom are you speaking of?
Banri: It’s you! That’s your name!
Taichi: Hm, so it was I whom you meant. Hear me, you insolent lot. I forbid you to call me that hereafter.
I am a noble being; therefore, you shall now call me ‘Lord Taichi’.
Banri: Wow, what a pain...
Juza: It’s your fault to begin with.
Banri: No one ever thought this would happen, dammit!
Sakyo: Shut up, you brats! Or else we can’t get to the main topic!
Juza & Banri: ...Sorry.
Izumi: Umm, Taichi-kun.
Taichi?: ‘Lord’ Taichi.
Izumi: ...Lord Taichi, we removed the talisman that was on you. So, um... Are you not returning...to your usual self...?
Taichi?: Usual self? You say the strangest things. I have always been like this, am I not?
Izumi: I-I suppose so...
Taichi?: More importantly, my throat is parched.
Omi: Would you like some tea?
Taichi?: Does the tea you brew taste exquisite?
Omi: Hm... Well, I’d say it’s pretty normal.
Taichi?: In that case, you are permitted. You should feel honored to serve me tea.
Sakyo: ...Damn bothersome. He’s being unnecessarily pompous.
Taichi?: That four-eyes over there. Did you say something about me?
Sakyo: Hah? What’d you just call me?
Izumi: S-Sakyo-san! You need to hold back!
Sakyo: ...Tch. I didn’t say anything.
Taichi?: If that is so, then good. You must always pay respect to me.
Sakyo: ...I’ll give him a punch if he ever goes back to normal.
Izumi: Please don’t! The original Taichi-kun didn’t do anything wrong!
―Lounge (Evening)―
(Hmm, I can’t think of any good idea...)
...Oh, it’s already this late. I gotta go buy some groceries...
Taichi?: Hm? Human woman, are you planning to head out?
Izumi: Ah, yes. I need to buy some ingredients for our dinner.
Taichi?: Hm... Very well, I shall accompany you.
Izumi: Oh, you want to come along too?
Taichi?: It seems like exactly what I need to relieve my boredom. Or do you feel dissatisfied with me?
Izumi: N-no, I don’t! Uh, well, let’s go together then.
Omi: Should I tag along as well?
Juza: It’d be tough to deal with him alone.
Izumi: Thank you. I appreciate the thought, but it’s okay.
I rather want everyone else to think of ways to bring back the usual Taichi-kun while we’re out shopping.
Sakyo: ...You’re right, it’s better we do that.
Banri: Take care, Director-chan.
Taichi?: Hey, what are you whispering about? Make haste and guide me to the outside.
Izumi: Right, sorry for the wait. Alright guys, I’ll be going now! Bye!
__________________________
The Arrival of Lord Jiangshi Taichi!? - Part 3

Taichi?: ...I wonder how long it has been since I walked down the streets.
Izumi: Do you know this street, Lord Taichi?
Taichi?: No, it is very different from the one I know of.
Izumi: (So he’s not a resident of Veludo Town...)
High school girl A: Hey, hey! Doesn’t that guy look cool!?
High school girl B: I get you! The way he acts is like, so manly and dreamy!
Taichi?: Hoh, I see those human children are smart enough to understand my greatness. Good, good. I shall let them praise me all they want.
Izumi: (He sure looks very happy...)
Taichi?: Hey, human woman. Why have you been staring at me for a while now?
If you have something to say, let it out. I am currently in a good mood, so I will listen to what you have to say at the very least.
Izumi: Oh, um, well...
🌸 Choice 1: Ask him about the street he knows
Izumi: What kind of place is the street that you know of?
Taichi?: Let me think... It was beautiful and solemn, befitting the noble me.
🌸 Choice 2: Ask him who he really is
Izumi: Who exactly are you?
Taichi?: That is quite a nonsense question. I am none other than me, nothing else.
Izumi: (Hmm, I still don’t get him after all..)
Taichi?: Are you done questioning? Then let us move along and be done with the ��shopping’.
―Supermarket―
Housewife: Oh my, what a dashing boy. Are you helping the girl with the groceries?
Auntie: Fufu, you’re quite a charming man. I wouldn’t have taken my eyes off you had I been 20 years younger.
Izumi: (Wow, he’s surrounded by women in no time at all. It’s almost the same as Tenma-kun...)
Taichi?: What is the matter, human woman? Are you feeling jealous? Fret not, as you are the number one for me.
Izumi: Um, I’m sorry, but I will have to say no to that.
―Lounge (Night)―
Izumi: We’re home~!
Banri: Thank god, you’re back!
Omi: Are you alright?
Izumi: Yup, thanks for worrying about me.
Taichi?: You are supposed to greet me first, you fools. Quite rude servants, I say.
Sakuya: Woah, they’re right! He’s acting very different, just like what I heard!
Yuki: True, it’s not the usual dumb dog.
Taichi?: ...? I see new faces here.
Muku: Finally you're here, Taichi-kun! Well then, it’s time I use this amulet!
Izumi: Amulet...?
Sakyo: Sakisaka wanted to try using the amulet that he made to break the curse. Though I doubt it’ll work.
Kazunari: Well, you’ll never know unless you try!
Muku: Here I go-! O wandering soul, free yourself from the body of the living...
Izumi: (He started chanting a mysterious incantation...)
Muku: ...And may you take the path to Heaven at once!
-Yah!
Taichi?: Urk-!
Izumi: Taichi-kun! Are you okay?!
Taichi: ...Mm... Huh? What happened, guys?
Sakyo: !?
Kazunari: That’s crazy! His amulet really works!
Taichi: W-what’re you guys talking about...?
Izumi: Well, it’s kind of a long story... Anyway, I’m so glad you’re back to normal!
Taichi: ???
Sakyo: Brace yourself, Nanao.
Taichi: HUH!? W-why!?
Izumi: Hey, Muku-kun. What kind of amulet did you make?
Muku: One that will chase off Jiangshi!
If the amulet made him turn back to normal, then that means a Jiangshi possessed his body!
Izumi: A Jiangshi!? But why is such a thing in the storage room...?
Taichi: Nevermind that, Director-sensei! Please save me! Sakyo-nii’s being super scary~!!
Sakyo: Think of this as your punishment for the trouble you’ve caused!
Taichi: Ueeehh! Anyone~! Save me~!!!
Story Clear!

[SSR] Citron | Affection and Respect
Everyone from the shopping district is a truly wonderful friend of mine! One must eat the taiyaki that you get as you bump into someone!♪
If I ever missed Juliano from my homeland, I’ll hug this cushion rea~lly tightly♪

Citron's Channel~ (Tentative) - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
―Courtyard (Night)―
Tsuzuru: Excuse me-.
Citron: State the password!
Tsuzuru: Huh!?
Citron: “Man”...?
Tsuzuru: ...”kai”?
Citron: Wrong, try again!
Tsuzuru: Wha- You’re the one who called me over!
Citron: I thought for sure you’d know the answer. Ueehh, I’m so disappointed...
Tsuzuru: Ngh... Fine, let me redo this one more time.
Citron: “Man”?
Tsuzuru: “Zai”!
Citron: Okay, you can come in~!
―Room 101―
Sakuya: Welcome, Tsuzuru-kun!
Tsuzuru: Can’t believe I had to go through that to enter here...
Izumi: Citron-kun must’ve really liked passwords, huh.
Itaru: That reminds me, he made us say them when we had a strategy meeting before.
Masumi: I couldn’t get in the room right away that it was a hassle at that time...
Chikage: In a way, you could say it’s the strongest security.
Sakuya: Anyway, what are we gathered here for tonight, Citron-san?
Itaru: Eh, even you don’t know?
Sakuya: Yes, he said that he’ll tell us only when everyone is here...
Masumi: What's the big deal.
Chikage: Maybe it’s about a classified information or something.
Citron: Exactly! It’s a serious matter that could shake the whole nation...!
Sakuya: EH!?
Tsuzuru: W-what do you mean by that?
Izumi: Uh, you see...
*flashback*
―Hallway (Night)―
Izumi: (Huh, there’s someone talking in the practice room... I wonder if he’s having self-training?)
Citron: Oh, Director!
Izumi: Citron-kun! Oh, you were in the middle of video call. Sorry about that!
Citron: It’s ok, it’s just Tangerine~.
Tangerine: “Good evening! Long time no see, Director-san.”
Izumi: Good evening, Tangerine-kun. Seems like your Japanese has improved again.
Citron: Director, you’re such a “light fowl” for staying up this late at night~.
Izumi: “Light fowl”? You mean “night owl”, right?
Citron: Yes, that!
Izumi: Well, why did you bother to take the video call here? You could’ve done it in your room or the lounge.
Citron: As for that... It’s because this transmission is a consultation of a crucial classified information...
Izumi: Classified information!?
Tangerine: “We were talking about ‘Citron’s Channel~ (Tentative)!’”
Izumi: ...It sounds so laid-back that it’s not like classified at all.
Citron: Geez, you have no sense of comedy, Tangerine.
Tangerine: “?”
Izumi: Um... Sorry if it’s really a classified information, but what’s “Citron’s Channel~ (Tentative)”?
Citron: It seems that the number of Zahran citizens who are interested in Japan has been increasing ever since that Kabuki performance.
Tangerine: “Many of them, especially the young ones have great interest in it, so we were discussing about opening a video channel.”
“If Onii-sama introduces the culture and lifestyle of Japan using the channel, all the Zahrans will love Japan even more!”
Izumi: Wow, it’s definitely a great idea!
Citron: There's a problem though. We’ve agreed to make one video as a trial, but still can’t decide on the main content...
Izumi: In that case, why not try asking everyone else about it? They might have some good input.
Citron: I see, they do say “thousand heads are better than one”, after all!
Izumi: Haha, that’s a bit too much. You’re supposed to say “two heads” there.
Citron: Alright, I will call everyone in Spring troupe along with Director and have 7 of us brainstorm ideas together!
Tangerine: “I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of video you’ll make with your friends, Onii-sama~!”
__________________________
Citron's Channel (Tentative) - Part 2
__________________________
Citron: ...And that’s about it!
Tsuzuru: Geez, don’t surprise us like that. That wasn’t even a classified information at all.
Itaru: Well, he’s not wrong about it being a national project.
Masumi: “Citron’s Channel~ (Tentative)” sounds too laid-back as the name for the official channel.
Sakuya: It’s memorable and very Citron-like, so I think it’s good though!
Chikage: For starters, I guess we should do our best to make some content for the video.
Citron: Me and Tangerine have tried to think of several ideas. Here’s one of them.
Sakuya: “Grand Plan: The One who Lies is the Golf”...? ( 1 )
Tsuzuru: You’re supposed to write “the Wolf” instead of “the Golf”...
Citron: Oh~, that’s our Tsuzuru! Never miss a beat to retort!
Masumi: To begin with, that plan itself doesn’t make any sense.
Chikage: Like I thought, for stuff like this, isn’t Chigasaki the expert?
Itaru: Hmm, let’s see. First off-.
―Kitchen (Day)―
Izumi: Okay, the camera’s ready~.
Citron: Today, I will introduce you to okonomiyaki! A fun and delicious Japanese dish that the whole family can make and eat together~.
Itaru: Well, we can try going for the classic, which is a cooking video.
Sakuya: The attraction to delicious food is universal after all!
Citron: The main ingredient is the cabbage! We will now chop it into bite-sized slices...
Masumi: He said that, but he’s cutting them big though?
Itaru: Bite-sized has lost its meaning.
Citron: Next, we add the flour and the eggs! Bam! Into the frying pan they go!
Tsuzuru: He’s putting everything in one motion...!
Chikage: You can’t really call that an okonomiyaki.
Izumi: At this rate, false information about Japan will spread around the world...!
Itaru: Hmm, so cooking’s a no-go. In that case-.
―Dining Room―
Citron: Now then, let’s eat Citron’s handmade okonomiyaki! Itadakimasu~!
Itaru: We’ll try doing an eating video. It’s another popular genre.
Citron: Oh-! This is...!
The crunchy cabbage and the mushy batter create a completely new texture!
Masumi: So you’re saying it’s undercooked.
Tsuzuru: Of course it is! From the way you cooked just a while ago...
Chikage: If this makes people think that Japanese food is not delicious, our image will get damaged for sure.
Izumi: Hngg, I guess this video is a flop, even though we recorded all that...
Omi: I’m home. ...What an amazing sight I’m seeing here.
Sakuya: Ah, Omi-san! Welcome home!
Tsuzuru: My bad for making a mess here. We were shooting a cooking video just now...
Izumi: Sorry, we’ll clean it up soon.
Omi: No, I don’t mind that you used the kitchen. Just that, what were you making?
Citron: Okonomiyaki!
Omi: Okonomiyaki, you say... Did you use up all the cabbages?
Citron: Not all, there are still some of them here.
Omi: Ah... They’ve all been cut already. What to do...
Izumi: What’s wrong?
Omi: I was thinking of making stuffed cabbage rolls for tonight’s dinner.
Izumi: EHH-!
Chikage: That’d be impossible to make with all these shredded cabbages.
Citron: Sorry, Omi~.
Omi: It’s alright. I’ll think of a different menu using the ingredients that we have now-.
Itaru: No, my mind and tongue are dying to eat cabbage rolls already.
Tsuzuru: Your rolls are really good after all.
Omi: But we’re out of cabbages...
Citron: I just remembered! The greengrocer old man said he got some good cabbages yesterday!
Sakuya: Then we might be able to make very tasty rolls if we use those!
Citron: Alright, let’s go to the grocery store and buy those cabbages~!
=====NOTES=====
[1] I ransacked my brain to do this one. I really like the original joke here but alas, it’s hard to keep it. Hopefully you can understand what I’m trying to explain here.
Citron originally wrote “ダジャレを言うのはダジャレ大作戦” or “dajare wo iu no wa dajare dai sakusen”, which translates to “Grand plan: Pun’s the one saying a pun”. What it should’ve been written is “ダジャレを言うのは誰じゃ大作戦” or “dajare wo iu no wa dare ja dai sakusen” which translates to “Grand plan: Who’s the one saying a pun?”.

Citron's Channel (Tentative) - Part 3
__________________________
―Shopping District―
Itaru: ...It’s not like we need EVERYONE to go, do we?
Chikage: Walking around the shopping district should help you get some exercise.
Masumi: I’ll be the one to carry all your luggage.
Izumi: A lot of cabbages will be too heavy for one person to carry.
Elementary school kid A: Hey, it’s Citron!
Citron: Oh~, are you all back from school? Welcome back~!
Elementary school kid B: We’re back~!
Elementary school kid C: Let’s play games, Citron!
Citron: Sorry, we’ll do it next time because I’m going to the grocery store right now~.
Japanese sweets shop granny: Oh my, Citron-chan!
Citron: Hello~.
Japanese sweets shop granny: Good thing you came, I have some freshly made dangos here. Please take them with you.
Citron: Thank you!
Izumi: As always, you’re very popular.
🌸CHOICE 1: What’s the secret?
Izumi: You must have some kind of secret to being popular.
Citron: I don’t have that! I just chat with everyone like normal.
Madam A: Citron-chan always compliments me so I feel happy whenever we talked~.
Citron: I’m just being honest~.
Madam B: Of course we’ll be happy if a gentleman like you compliments us~.
Citron: If I’m a gentleman, then both madams here are gentlewomen! Oh, was that the right word?
Madams: Ahaha, you’re the best~!
Izumi: (I think I saw a glimpse of the secret behind how he naturally attracts people...)
🌸CHOICE 2: You like everyone
Izumi: You really like everyone here, don’t you?
Citron: I do! Everyone is very kind, so every day is fun~.
Izumi: That’s great! It’s nice to have many people you like.
Citron: Yeah! I like the madams, and the people from the neighbourhood association-.
And especially everyone in the MANKAI Company.
Izumi: Fufu, I see.
Citron: ...And of course, I like you very much as well.
Izumi: Thanks, I really like you too.
Fishmonger madam: Citron-chan, why don’t you come by our place today? I saved the best sweet shrimp for you.
Citron: As always, you’re so good at inviting people, madam~!
Itaru: He’s constantly being greeted by a lot of people as soon as we entered this place.
Sakuya: As expected from the prince of the shopping district!
Izumi: ...That’s it!
Sakuya: Eh?
Izumi: We should just take a video of him interacting with the people in town!
Chikage: I see. It’s a familiar sight to us, but it might look fresh to the people of Zahra.
Tsuzuru: A Japanese shopping district itself are rare, but it’s also rarer to see the sight of their prince blending in with the common people.
Sakuya: On top of that, they might be very happy to see him being loved even in another country as well!
Taiyaki shop owner: How about some taiyaki, Citron-kun?
Citron: I was craving something sweet earlier! Nice timing~!
Granny: I made a cushion of a pet that I saw from your photos before, Citron-chan. Do you like it?
Citron: Oh, Juliano...! It’s a spitting image!
Granny: I’m glad to hear that! I’ll give this one for you then!
Citron: Thank you~!
Izumi: (We finally arrived at the grocery store...!)
(But seems like we got enough footage to be used for the video.)
Citron: Old man~! I’ve come here to buy some cabbages!
Greengrocer old man: Welcome, Citron! Ya remembered that I got a lot of good ones, didn’t ya?
Citron: Of course!
Greengrocer old man: That makes me happy. A’ight, I’ll give ya the best one for free!
Citron: Thank you! As thanks, I’ll do a belly dance for you!
Izumi: W-wait a second, Citron-kun! I’m still recording, you know?!
Citron: I don’t mind! I want everyone in Zahra to see my belly dance too~!
Sakuya: Ah, Citron-san! Your shirt...!
Masumi: Is that good as thanks?
Greengrocer old man: Yer such a funny guy, Citron. Ah-ha-ha!
Itaru: ...He really likes it.
Chikage: Even so, a half-naked prince doing the belly dance would be an international issue.
Izumi: You’re right... We’ll cut this part out.
Citron: Oisa, oisa~!

[SR] Sakyo | Courier Rabbit
Those brats... I’ve told them to do it seriously, but this is some crazy instruction. I’ll give them a lecture after this.
__________________________
All-out Easter Etude! - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
―Entrance (Night)―
Izumi: I’m home~.
Sakyo: Oh, you just came home too, huh.
Izumi: Yeah! Good work for today, Sakyo-san.
―(Lounge)―
Sakyo: We’re back.
Kazunari: Welcome home~.
Izumi: What’re you all doing here?
Sakuya: We’re doing preparations for Easter event!
Sakyo: Oh, the one that Miyoshi proposed?
Kazunari: Yeah, that one! It’s kinda tiring to prep for it tho, cuz there’ll be tons of different games~.
Izumi: Are you guys making easter eggs?
Azami: Kinda, but not really. The egg inside has a piece of paper with instruction written on it.
Izumi: Instruction?
Kazunari: I call this game, “Simon Says Easter Eggs Hunt”!
Sakyo: What kind of game is that?
Sakuya: It’s like a scavenger hunt. The contestants must pick up an egg and follow the instruction written on the paper inside.
Taichi: Sakyo-nii will be the rep of Autumn Troupe for this contest!
Sakyo: What? Since when did you decide on that?
Azami: You weren’t there for the event selection ‘cause you had some errands to do. You even said it yourself, “Go ahead and decide for me”.
Sakyo: Oh, that time... It’s my bad for not listening but you should’ve told me if you’ve decided already.
Taichi: Sorry, Sakyo-nii!
Izumi: It doesn’t seem like there’s that much progress though...
Sakuya: Actually, we all had trouble coming up with challenges to write on the paper.
Kazunari: We need some decent amount of them~.
Azami: And it won’t be good to have many identical ones too.
Sakyo: Perhaps it’d be better to go for a different direction that’s not too biased and easy to think about.
Izumi: Oh, how about writing a theme for an etude? It might be a bit different from an instruction though.
Sakuya: That’s a good idea!
Taichi: It’s fitting for us actors!
Azami: Etude themes... Anyone got any idea?
Kazunari: Here, here! I just thought of one!
“A person who frantically waves his hand for a taxi in a heavy rain at midnight, but the taxi is actually a police car”!
Sakyo: What the hell...
Sakuya: That’s very sad...!
Azami: How surreal.
Taichi: But thanks to Kazu-kun, we’ve got some idea of the direction! We just gotta think of themes like that!
Kazunari: Alrighty~, I’m gonna come up with lots of ideas~!
Sakyo: You better not just think of weird stuff.
__________________________
All-out Easter Etude! - Part 2
__________________________
Taichi: What about this one!
“A rabbit who is wary of the surroundings to monopolize its favourite carrot”!
Izumi: Nice, you included an Easter element!
Sakuya: Mine is... “An Easter egg who is sad for not getting any paint”. How is it?
Kazunari: Super interesting, Saku-saku!
Oh! I got one more idea... “A frog who wants to be reborn as a boba”!
Azami: Are we having a surreal story fest now?
Sakyo: ...Cut that out, you brats. Take this more seriously, will you!
Taichi: Eek! I’m sorry~!
Sakuya: We didn’t mean to play around...!
Kazunari: I guess it’d be a problem if we put any strange themes in this game since Frooch-san’s gonna be in it~.
Sakyo: That’s not what I meant. If it’s etude, we’ll do it seriously. I’m just telling you to think more properly.
Azami: Properly, you say... In that case, an interesting theme that we don’t usually see might be better.
Sakyo: Hey, what’re you up to now?
Azami: Nothing.
Izumi: Now, now. You don’t have to be that angry.
🌸CHOICE 1: Make the event more exciting
They just wanna make the event more exciting, that’s all.
Sakyo: I know that.
But what if the game stops because the contestants have difficulty with a theme like the one just now?
They’d be sluggish and everything will be a mess from that point onwards.
Izumi: Sakyo-san...! I thought you weren’t that interested in the Easter event but you’re very serious about it!
Sakyo: What? Well, I gotta do it properly since I’m going to participate in it.
Izumi: Fufu, I’m kinda happy to know that you’re also enthusiastic about this.
Sakyo: Hmph, I’m not so keen on it though.
🌸CHOICE 2: Sounds interesting, count me in!
Izumi: It sounds interesting, so I’ll try coming up with a theme too. Let’s see...
How about, “A person who’s happy after they open an Easter egg and find a curry rice in it”?
Sakyo: You’re the only person who’d be that happy about it.
Izumi: EHH?! I don’t think that’s true though...
Sakyo: Heh, yours are probably the most surreal out of all.
―The day of Easter eventー
Manager: The next game is “Simon Says Easter Egg Hunt”! Which is also an “Etude Game”!
Masumi: I’ll show her my good part.
Tenma: I’m gonna win this.
Homare: I’m very looking forward to seeing what kind of etude themes will pop out!
Manager: We’ve got quite a unique group of members here!
Sakyo: Guess it’s time for me to play now.
Omi: Do your best, Sakyo-san.
Juza: We’re rooting for you.
Taichi: Go, go, Sakyo-nii~!
Manager: Well then! On your marks, get set... Go!
Sakyo: Guess I’ll go with the egg that’s closest first. Let’s see what’s inside-.
......
Manager: Oh? Looks like Furuichi-san is frozen in place after seeing his paper. Sir, please read out loud your theme~!
Sakyo: ...“Sakoda Ken, who’s eating a fried shrimp set meal”.
Taichi: Whaaat! He’s gonna act as Sakoda-san?!
Banri: Pfft, the heck? That’s more of an imitation rather than an etude.
Juza: Who put that theme in...?
Azami: I wrote it thinking it’d be funny if Shitty Sakyo pulled it, but I didn’t expect for him to actually get it. I should film this.
Sakyo: ...So that’s what this is.
Manager: Quite a difficult theme there! What will you do, Furuichi-san?!
Sakyo: I’m an actor, so I’ll give my all to act it out.
Azami: Wow~.
Sakyo: You better watch me closely, you brats...
―After the etudeー
Banri: Oh, man~. If there’s MVP for this game, it’d be Sakyo-san for sure.
Azami: Yeah, that acting of his was the best. Bet Ken-san would cry if he saw it himself.
Right, I should send him the video that I took.
Sakyo: Stop it, don’t let the guys from Ginsenkai see that.
Azami: I’m the one who took the video, so it’s up to me how I want to use it. Anyways, gotta send it to Ken-san first.
Sakyo: Dammit...
Izumi: Great work, Sakyo-san! You were really impressive as an actor!
You were just like Sakoda-san!
Sakyo: ......
Izumi: Um, Sakyo-san? What’s wrong?
Banri: I’m sure that was meant to be compliment but that ain’t it for him, Director-chan.
Izumi: Huh?
Sakyo: ...Not happy at all.
Story Clear!

7th Anniversary Mini Convo - Nanao Taichi Talk
Mini Convo A
Prompt: Please turn around 3 times and shout "Woof!"
Taichi: ...I gotta turn around for three times and say "Woof"!? That sounds like a punishment game!
It can't be helped~. Turn around three times and...
Woof!
One more extra~ Woof! Wo-woof!
Mini Convo B
Question: What is your ideal height difference between you and your girlfriend?
Taichi: My ideal height difference with my girlfriend!? I sure got a lovey-dovey question here!
Let me think... I don't mind the height difference if I really like her!
Even if she's the taller one, I'll do my best to make myself taller than her!
How do I grow taller? Hmm... For now, I'll just try drinking 2 liters of milk a day!

[R] Yuki | The 1001st Story
The hack actor from back then caused us a lot of trouble, but... If we didn’t get pulled by that guy, this current Summer Troupe probably wouldn’t exist.
__________________________
The Return of Fear, A Hundred Midnight Stories - Part 1
__________________________
―Lounge (Night)―
Muku: Eek...!
Yuki: You don’t need to read if you’re that scared.
Muku: B-but, the illustrations are so cute...!
Misumi: Ah, Yuki and Muku~. They’re reading a book together~.
Kazunari: Hey there, fellas~. Whatcha reading?
Yuki: Here.
Kumon: “100 Ghost Stories”...?
Kazunari: Ghost stories?! The cover book looks pretty cute tho...
Yuki: Yup. I found it in the reference room.
I remembered reading it before, so I brought it with me.
Kumon: So you’ve already read about it!
Misumi: This oni has a triangle horn~! Ah! There’s a cat here!
Kazunari: I know this story! It seems scary, but it’s actually quite a good one~.
Yuki: Ohh, the one where a bakeneko saves its master.
Misumi: What a good cat~.
Muku: It’s such a wonderful story!
Kazunari: Let’s look at other stories!
Misumi: Oh, this person’s hood is a triangle~!
Kumon: Tengu’s here too! Hella cool~!
Tenma: I’m home~.
Muku: Welcome home, Tenma-kun.
Tenma: What’re you guys gathering here for?
Yuki: We were reading this.
Tenma: You-! That’s...!
Kumon: What’s wrong, Tenma-san?
Yuki: Truth is, before our first stage play-.
*Flashback*
―Room 201 (Night)―
Tenma: Aren’t you gonna do any role study for Scheherazade?
Yuki: Role study?
Tenma: There must be something you can do, like what Sakisaka did by reading the original book. It’s important to know about your role in depth.
Yuki: ...Acting like a leader.
Tenma: I’m not acting! I really AM one!
Yuki: Yeah, yeah.
Tenma: Don’t give me that “Yeah, yeah”! That’s no way to behave towards your leader-.
Yuki: *sighs* ...So noisy. I’ll turn off the lights.
*click*
Tenma: H-hey! ...Geez.
Yuki: (Role study, huh...)
(...Ah, I know.)
*click*
Yuki: Hey.
Tenma: What. I’m going to bed-.
Yuki: Help me with the role study.
Tenma: ...Role study?
Yuki: You told me to do it a while ago, remember?
Tenma: Hmph, so you’re finally up for it. What’re you gonna do?
Yuki: I was thinking of doing a storytelling.
Tenma: Storytelling?
Yuki: Scheherazade used to tell Ali Baba bedtime stories, right? Thought I should try doing the same thing to deepen the understanding of my role.
Tenma: Ahh, I see. Sure, I’ll help you out.
Yuki: Okay, we’ll start with “100 Ghost Stories”-.
Tenma: G-ghost stories?!
__________________________
The Return of Fear, A Hundred Midnight Stories - Part 2
__________________________
Tenma: I-I won’t listen to ghost stories!
Yuki: Huh? You said you will just now.
Tenma: Only because I didn’t know what story you’d read!
Yuki: ...Are you scared?
Tenma: I-It’s not like I’m scared or anything. Besides, ghost stories aren’t exactly for a bedtime story, you know?
Yuki: There weren’t any books other than this in the reference room. It’s not that scary, so you should be fine. (1)
Tenma: Hngh...
Yuki: Once upon a time-.
Tenma: ...S-stop it!
Yuki: There lived...
Tenma: Ugh-!
(I got no choice but to listen...)
Yuki: ...That’s all for tonight.
Tenma: Finally, it’s over...
Yuki: Huh, you’re still awake? You wrapped yourself in blanket and didn’t move an inch at all, so I thought you slept already.
Tenma: I-I just couldn’t fall sleep because of your bad reciting-.
Yuki: Is that so. Good night, then.
Tenma: H-hey...!
Tenma: .....
Yuki: *sleep soundly*
Tenma: .....
...I can’t sleep.
―Practice Room―
Kazunari: G’morning~!
Yuki: Morning.
Tenma: ...Good morning.
Kazunari: OMG! What happened, Tenten?! You look like a panda!
Tenma: ...Nothing.
Yuki: Were you so scared of the ghost story last night that you couldn’t fall sleep?
Tenma: ...!
Yuki: Was it a spot-on?
Tenma: Sh-shut up!
*Flashback ends*
Yuki: -and that’s what happened.
Kumon: Ahaha, I see~!
Kazunari: So nostalgic~! That did happen, huh!
Misumi: You were no good with scary things since then~.
Tenma: That’s not true!
Muku: So you were referring to this book when you mentioned a ghost story back then.
Tenma: Oh, right. I don’t think you guys know, but there’s a history behind that book.
Kazunari: History?
Tenma: Yeah... Soon after that, a lot of bad things happened...
Like, I felt a person’s gaze on me while I was washing my hair, or when I hear some noise in the kitchen and dropped a cup...
Yuki: That’s just you being freaked out.
Muku: But still, the Scheherazade during the play was very wonderful. Maybe it was a good thing that he did the storytelling for his role study!
Tenma: Well... I do admit that.
Yuki: Hm~. It’s been a while, so should I read you a story tonight?
Tenma: NOOO---!!!
=====NOTES=====
[1] In this backstage, they used this word "Kaidan" (怪談). Generally, it means "ghost/horror story", but it's more of a "strange/mysterious tales". The kaidan stories can be funny, or strange, or a retelling of an odd thing that happened before. They can be scary most of the times, but they are not intended to be scary at all. ( Ref 1 / Ref 2 )
Story Clear!

[R] Sakyo | Acclaimed Accuracy Rate
Seems like a lot of card game’s been popular nowadays. They sure can come up lots of things, from interesting to weird ones.
__________________________
Long-legged Mr. Sakyo! - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
―Lounge (Night)―
Sakyo: I’m home.
Itaru: Welcome home, Sakyo-san.
Citron: You came back at such a good timing!
Sakyo: Hm? Are you all going to have a drinking party?
Azuma: I invited everyone here to drink since I got a hold of a good ‘sake’, you see. Care to join us?
Sakyo: Sure, let me have some too.
Izumi: I’ll go and get a glass for you then.
Tsumugi: Ah, let me do it instead.
Sakyo: Sorry for the trouble.
Kazunari: Otsupiko~. Oh, a drinking party?
Citron: That’s right! Wanna join?
Kazunari: Hngg, I’m gonna pass on drinking~. But I still wanna join in!
Sakyo: Oh, you’re not gonna drink?
Kazunari: You know what happens when I get drunk, right~?
Azuma: Fufu, I think drunk Kazu-kun is cute though.
Kazunari: You always say that, but I feel super embarrassed~. Sorry, but that’s why I’m not gonna drink this time!
Itaru: Right, I actually bought an interesting card game the other day.
Tsumugi: Interesting card game?
Izumi: What is it?
Itaru: Here.
Sakyo: Animals... Even so, those are strange-looking creatures.
Azuma: I’m guessing they’re some kind of characters?
Kazunari: Ah! This looks like the one that’s been going viral in social media recently!
Citron: I’ve also seen it in videos too!
Itaru: This game wouldn’t work without a certain number of players, so I thought now is a good time to play it.
Sakyo: Even if that’s the case, doesn’t mean we have to play it with this group.
Itaru: Isn’t it nice to do something like this once in a while? Don’t gripe and let's try it.
Kazunari: Maybe I should take a vid of you guys playing since I’m not drinking~.
Sakyo: Don’t film us.
Kazunari: Now, now, it might be useful for something, you know!
Sakyo: How can a video of good adults being drunk and playing a card game be helpful?
Itaru: Alright, I’ll explain the rules now.
__________________________
Long-legged Mr. Sakyo! - Part 2
__________________________
Itaru: The rules are very simple.
Remove one card from the deck. If the character on the card is your first time seeing, give it a suitable name and memorise it.
Sakyo: Do we name these strange creatures ourselves?
Itaru: Yes, whatever name’s OK.
Azuma: What do we do with the removed card?
Itaru: Place it beside the deck and stack.
Next, take turns to remove cards. When a named character appears, one should say the name of the character, no matter who the player is.
The first person who can say the name correctly gets the stack of cards that have been stacked up to that point.
Tsumugi: So it’s first come, first served.
Itaru: Yup, that’s how it is.
The winner of the game will be the player who collects the most cards when the deck runs out at the end.
Azuma: I see.
Izumi: The rules really are simple.
Itaru: It’s a game that anyone can play as long as they have imagination and memory. (1)
Citron: It will be more interesting if we have some kind of limitation rather than just naming the characters randomly!
Itaru: Yeah, I guess we could.
Kazunari: How about we use everyone in the company as our inspiration for the names?
Citron: Oh! That sounds really fun!
Azuma: Fufu, I think that’s good.
Itaru: Ok, so how the characters are named will be based on the members of the company.
We’ll start by going clockwise, starting from me. Everyone okay with that?
Citron: ‘No oblation’ here! (2)
Itaru: You mean ‘no objection’, yeah? Alright, I’ll pull one card now...
This is... “Long-legged Sakyo-san”.
Sakyo: Huh?
Izumi: Fufu... I can kinda see what you mean...
Sakyo: What did you just say?
Itaru: It’s just a game, don’t sweat the details. Let’s continue, alright?
Citron: My turn!
Oh, what a cute child! This one shall be... “Sakuya who Dances in the Cherry Blossoms”!
Tsumugi: Ahaha, it really does look like him, with the soft vibe around the character.
Sakyo: I don’t think I can remember that...
Kazunari: It’s your turn next, Frooch-san.
Sakyo: ......
Itaru: “Long-legged Sakyo-san”!
Tsumugi: That was fast, Itaru-kun.
Itaru: That’s a given since I’m the one who named it.
Sakyo: It’s frustrating that I didn’t get it...
Azuma: Seems like it’s my turn now.
“Long-legged Sakyo-kun”.
Sakyo: Urk-!
Kazunari: Haha, that character appears way too much!
Citron: 3 times in a row! It’s the curse of Sakyo! (3)
Sakyo: Don’t call other people a curse.
Damn it, I’ll get it this time...
Itaru: I’m glad he seems to be enjoying it somehow.
Izumi: Ahaha, I think so too.
―Next day―
Kumon: Woah, what’s that! It looks fun!
Kazunari: I thought that I wanna play it next time too!
Sakyo: ...Hm?
Kumon: Ahaha! That’s a lot of “Long-legged Sakyo-san”!
Kazunari: Right~?
Sakyo: ...Hey.
Kazunari: WAWA! You surprised me, Frooch-san!
Kumon: Ah, it’s the real “Long-legged Sakyo-san”!
Sakyo: What’re you saying... Anyway, delete that video this instant.
Kazunari: Eh~! I was thinking of uploading it to Inste tho!
Sakyo: There’s no way I can let the public see that sight of the drunk members.
Story Clear!
=====NOTES=====
[1] If you can already tell by the rules, the card game they’re referencing is “Nanja Monja”. Personal recommendation to watch playthrough is this funny video with a twist featuring 3 voice actors (one of them voices Tenma).
[2] ❌ 意味なし / imi nashi - No meaning ✅ 異議なし / igi nashi - No objection
[3] Citron uses a mahjong term 三連チャン (san renchan).

Training Camp Backstage: Boys' Night Again!
Related event: Hell's Hot Spring Village
*Director's default name as Izumi
Izumi: The staff here has prepared meals for us!
Itaru: Ooh, what a feast.
Homare: There's even a variety of sakes as well.
Izumi: We finished our performance, so you can eat and drink to your heart's content!
Sakyo: We're still not done organizing the props and costumes though... Oh well, we'll gratefully eat the dinner provided through the courtesy of the staff.
Kazunari: Now you're talking!
Taichi: We'll continue the work once we're done eating!
Yuki: We could also get up early tomorrow and do it.
Banri: Aight, great work for today, everyone. Cheers!
Everyone: Cheers~!
Taichi: Sneak, sneak, stealthily... Is everything all-set?
Banri: Yeah.
Taichi: We will now commence the wake-up prank for Sakyo-nii that we failed to do during the adult school trip! (1)
Kazunari: I've already obtained a copy of keycard for his room last night.
Itaru: Nice work, Kazunari.
Homare: Hopefully the prank will succeed today.
Yuki: Maybe it'll work this time. After the dinner last night, only he and Director alone did the clean-up.
Banri: Yeah, he'd definitely sleep like a log after that.
Itaru: Okay, the camera's ready to film.
Taichi: Thank you, Itaru-san! Now then, let's go to Sakyo-nii's room!
Good morning~. It is now 5 o' clock in the morning...
We are about to do a wake-up prank on Sakyo-nii.
Homare: It seems like he is sleeping soundly.
Yuki: Fufu, thought so.
Banri: Ain't waking up even when we're coming closer to him.
Kazunari: Itarun, his sleeping face.
Itaru: Got it.
Kazunari: I'll flip over the futon!
Yuki: It's amazing how he sleeps straight on his back without making a mess of his futon like that.
Homare: He looks like he will stand upright if we stand him up as he is now.
Sakyo: ...Mm...
Banri: Crap, he's waking up.
Taichi: Alright, here we go! *takes deep breath*
Wake up, Sakyo-nii! It's already the time for our train-!!
Sakyo: What?!
Everyone: ......
Sakyo: ...Hm? What're you all doing...
Kazunari: Surprise! You've just been pranked~!
Taichi: W-we finally did it-!
Banri: Bahahaha! Got you real good, huh!
Yuki: Ahaha, he woke up in such a hurry.
Itaru: We obtained the SSR of his surprised face.
Sakyo: Tch... I usually would've felt their presence...
I guess it's because I slept late...
Homare: Things like this happen sometimes, Sakyo-san.
And so, I shall recite a refreshing morning poem of mine for you who woke up just now!
Sakyo: No need!
Story Clear!

[SR] Taichi | Contrast Twins: Younger Brother
I wanna cherish the character setting for my role even if I don't show it in my acting! That said, I'm gonna take photos like a camera lover.
Lead Skill: Unrevealed Backstory
Adlib Skill: Bright, Kind and Popular Person

Aim for a Smile! - Part 1
__________________________
*Director's default name as Izumi
―Lounge―
Izumi: (...Hm? It's Taichi.)
Taichi: ......
Izumi: What are you reading there, Taichi-kun?
Taichi: Ah, Director-sensei! I'm reading a manga that I borrowed from Mucchan! The story takes place in a Gymnasium.
Izumi: Ohh, are you studying for your role?
Taichi: Yup! I heard that Kyu-chan borrowed these as his reference when he helped with the Gymnasium doll exhibition before! [1]
I'm studying like this since I don't really know much about Gymnasium~.
Izumi: Fufu, it's remarkable to see you studying hard.
Taichi: Yay~! I got praised by Director-sensei!
🌸CHOICE 1: How's the manga?
Izumi: Seems like you're still in the middle of reading it, but how was the manga?
Taichi: Not only it's informative, but it's also really interesting! As expected from Mucchan's recommendation!
Izumi: I see. Maybe I should borrow it too, since I'm kinda interested now.
Taichi: In that case, I'll tell Mucchan that I'll lend you these after I'm done reading them!
My commentary will be included as well, so it's a great deal~! Look forward to it!
Izumi: Hahaha, thanks. I'll be waiting for it then!
🌸CHOICE 2: Got a feel for it yet?
Izumi: Have you got the feel of the Gymnasium yet?
Taichi: Can't say it's perfect yet, but I think I got a bit of it!
Oh! If you don't mind, can you tell me what your image of a Gymnasium is?
Izumi: Hmm, based on the theme of Gymnasium that I've been exposed so far, it's like the life of beautiful young boys who attend an all-boys boarding school.
Taichi: Mm-hm! It does feel like that!
Alright! I'm gonna do my best on my role-making to match your image perfectly!
Izumi: ...Ah, right. You should try asking Hisoka-san.
He heard about the Gymnasium from Takao-san when he helped with the doll exhibition previously. [2]
Taichi: Takao-san... You mean Homare's butler?
Izumi: Yeah. He had been to Europe before and visited the real Gymnasium.
Taichi: Woahh, that's cool!
Izumi: I also listened to his story with Hisoka-san and Homare-san, so I remember a lot of things as well...
But I think it'll be more helpful to hear directly from Hisoka-san, who actually served as a guide for the doll exhibition.
Taichi: Got it! I'll try asking him then!
Thanks, Director-sensei!
―Room 206―
...And so, I was wondering if you could tell me what Takao-san told you about Gymnasium!
Hisoka: What Takao said about Gymnasium...
Homare: Hisoka-kun, don't tell me you already forgot?
Hisoka: That's not it... Takao was scary at that time.
Taichi: S-scary!?
Homare: Indeed, he was very intense at any time back then.
Hisoka: He would hit the table with a pointing stick when I was about to fall asleep, and he warned us to refrain from having private talk after just a few words.
Taichi: Seriously!?
Hisoka: Yeah, he said it's because Gymnasium is a solemn and disciplined place...
Taichi: S-sounds like a lot of work...!
Hisoka: But it was helpful. In fact, I created my role by overlapping what I heard from Takao and the setting of the role I was given.
...What is your role, Taichi?
Taichi: The younger brother of a twin, who's bright and kind popular type! So, after listening to your story...
I think my character would probably be a kid who can do anything flawlessly even in a Gymnasium environment!
Hisoka: I'm sure there are a child like that.
Homare: What a dexterous young boy.
Taichi: Also, they say it's okay to not show it when guiding visitors at the doll exhibition, but it seems that my role is a camera lover.
And that my twin older brother who is a complete opposite of me, smiles only when in front of camera... That's their setting!
Homare: Hoh, the character settings are quite deep.
Taichi: Even if they say I don't need to show it, the fact that he has a fixed setting surely means it's an important point I need to keep in mind.
Hisoka: I think so too.
Taichi: In that case, I should play with a camera for my role.
And when you think of cameras...

―Room 105―
Taichi: Please teach me how to use camera, Omi-kun!
Omi: I don't mind, but why the sudden?
Taichi: The role I'm going to play in the upcoming Gymnasium doll exhibition is a camera lover...
Omi: I see, so that's why.
If that's the case, should we go and take some photos together while we're at it? I'll lend my camera to you.
Taichi: EH! You'd lend me your precious camera...!? I-is it really okay!?
Omi: Yeah. I know you'll treat it with care so it's fine.
Taichi: Omi-kun...! Thank you!
Omi: That said, what should we take a photo of? Do we go to the park, or to the riverbed?
Taichi: I've already decided on what to take!
Omi: Really?
Taichi: Yep! I wanna take a photo of Kazu-kun who'll play the role of the twin older brother!
―Courtyard―
Taichi: Oh! Kazu-kun spotted!
Kazunari: Hey~ It's Taicchan and Omimi~!
Y'all gonna go somewhere to take photos right now?
Taichi: Hehe, yup! I'm actually thinking of taking a photo of your smile, Kazu-kun!
Kazunari: EH! Me!?
Oh right, your role this time is a camera lover!
Taichi: Yeah! For that, I want you to let me take it!
Kazunari: Ofc, it's A-OK! Take lots of it~!
Taichi: Is this the right way to hold it, Omi-kun?
Omi: It might be better if you keep your arms close to your body a bit more.
Taichi: Got it!
*snap*
Kazunari: Next is... this pose!
Taichi: Looking good~!
Taichi: Let's see...
Kazunari: Wow, looks great!
Omi: Yeah, it's all taken beautifully.
Taichi: Hmm, they look good but...
I feel like Kazu-kun is too skilled at being photographed...!
Kazunari: Ahaha! I like both taking pics and having my pics taken, that's why.
Taichi: *stares*
Omi: ...Hm? What is it?
Taichi: I've decided! I wanna take a photo of Omi-kun too!
Remember the time we went to the hot springs? I took a really good photo of you back then! [1]
I think I'll be more confident in my camera skills if I can get a best shot of your smiling face again like I did then.
Kazunari: I agree~! That's a good idea!
Omi: No, but... you sure you want me?
Taichi: Yeah, absolutely!
Ah, if you don't mind, of course...!
Omi: Don't worry, I don't really mind. ...Well, I do feel a bit embarrassed.
Taichi: So, you'll let me take it?
Omi: Sure, it's okay.
Taichi: Yayyy! I'll definitely get the best shot of your smile!
Kazunari: Show it to me when you're done!
Taichi: Of course! Thanks for hanging out with us, Kazu-kun!
I know! Let's take your photo outside the dorm, Omi-kun!
―Veludo Way―
Taichi: ......
Omi: ...It's a bit nerve-wracking when you're holding that camera so firmly.
Taichi: Ah! Of course, you're conscious of the camera since I keep holding it looking super obvious...
Man, I wish I could take photos as casually as you do, Omi-kun~.
You're so good at capturing people's natural expression.
Omi: Well, I like taking pictures of casual expressions in everyday life, so I think I've learned some things after doing it over and over again.
Taichi: I always look back at all the photos you took since I can recall what happened in all of them. That's why I really love your photos!
Omi: Haha, is that so? I'm happy to hear you say that you like my photos.
Taichi: ――!
*snap*
Omi: Eh?
Taichi: You had a reaaally good smile just now! Look, look!
Omi: ...You're right. I look very happy.
Taichi: Omi's smile: Captured!
Omi: It's because you did well in bringing out my expression that I was able to make this kind of face.
Taichi: ....Hehe! Hearing you say that makes me happy too!
...I think I can understand how my character feels when taking photos like this.
It's not just that he likes cameras, but he must've started liking them because his brother would smile at him through the lens.
Omi: When you take a photo of someone's smile, it makes us happy in return as well.
Taichi: Yeah! Omi-kun, thank you so much for being with me for today~!

BIRTHDAY VLOG: Taichi - Part 1
—Hallway (Evening)—
Taichi: Thanks for filming me today, Kazu-kun!
Kazunari: No probs! I just hope that I took a good vlog~.
Taichi: I'm sure it's all perfect! I think you filmed the insanely cool me just fine thanks to you!
Kazunari: Alrighty, all that's left is editing! Should we go with the momentum and do it now?
Taichi: Good idea!
—Room 202—
Kazunari: Now then, let's start this right away!
Taichi: Let's go~!
Kazunari: Got any request for the editing? Like, any concept you want?
Taichi: Let's see... We're gonna show this to my fans at my birthday event later, so I want it to be stylish!
Kazunari: Okay~!
I'm gonna play the recording, so tell me any parts that you wanna use or cut, okay?
Taichi: Got it!
"Here's the handicraft store that I often go to as part of being the costume-making assistant!"
"My job is to predict the amount of fabrics we'll need while looking at Yuki-chan's design drawings, and to look for some threads of the right colors..."
"Ah! It's the thread that I bought for stitching before! At the time, I thought about the balance of the color with the costume, so I went with the number three~."
Taichi: .....
"Next is the Kung-fu dojo that I always go to! I'm gonna start my practice now, so I want you guys to see this~!"
"Here's my special skill! ...Hah! Yah!"
Taichi: .....
Kazunari: How's it?
Taichi: .....
Do I look cool in that recording, Kazu-kun...?
Kazunari: Ofc! I think you're plenty cool!
Though... something must've been on your mind if you say that, huh?
Taichi: Yeah... It's just that, I felt cool when we were filming earlier, but looking at this again... It's not that it's embarrassing...
I don't know, it just doesn't feel like that's ME.
Kazunari: Ahh, I guess it kinda does?
How do I say this... It's like, you were trying too hard than you usually do.
Taichi: "Trying too hard"...?
You're right! So that's why it felt so strange...
Kazunari: ...Speaking of, the theme for the vlog you need to present is "A sight you want to show your fans".
Why do you wanna make your vlog like this, Taicchan?
Taichi: That's... I was wondering what I should film, then Mucchan's vlog came into mind, which was about "showing his cool self".
Then I thought "I wanna show my fans the cool side of me too".
Kazunari: I see~. So that's why the vlog and your comments had that cool vibe when we filmed earlier.
Taichi: I even asked you to do both filming and editing since I thought you'd make my vlog look even more cooler.
I was too fixated on showing my cool self that I could only think of making myself look cool the entire time.
But I guess I'm still far from being cool, huh...
Kazunari: That's not true. The feeling of wanting to look cool relates to growth and hard work, so I think that's really important.
Still, you don't need to force yourself to do that...
Because I'm sure all your fans already know just how cool you are.
Taichi: Kazu-kun...
Kazunari: Now then! What should we do about the recording?
If you wanna do a retake, then I'll gladly be the cameraman again!
Taichi: Kazu-kun...! I'm so moved into tears~!
I'll take up on your words then... Let's start our vlog from the beginning again!
__________________________
BIRTHDAY VLOG: Taichi - Part 2
—Handicraft Store—
Taichi: We'll begin our vlog at this handicraft store for today too!
Kazunari: Oui! I'm super glad we got the permission to film for the second time.
Taichi: I thought we wouldn't get it, but the store manager kindly permitted us since I always come to the store!
Also, I'm really sorry that you had to film me again.
Kazunari: Nah bro, I totes don't mind at all! More importantly, let's make it a vlog that you really wanna show to your fans this time, Taicchan!
Taichi: Yeah! We gotta make it show the true-to-life of me!
Let's do our best once again, Kazu-kun!
Kazunari: OK! The camera's ready now~.
3, 2 , 1.. and start!
Taichi: Hey there, is everyone watching~? It's me, Taichi Nanao!
I hope you'll have fun watching this vlog of mine!
Let's introduce our cameraman first. The one in charge of filming me is Kazu-kun from Summer Troupe!
Kazunari: Sup guys, it's Kazunari Miyoshi~! I'm gonna be his personal cameraman for today!
Taichi: I'll count on you!
Now then, the first thing I chose to show is this! The handicraft store~!
Kazunari: Yay~!
Taichi: This place is where I, who's also a costume-making assistant, feel indebted to!
Kazunari: Why'd you choose this store?
Because it holds a lot of memories of me being the assistant.
I can still remember why I started helping with costume-making too...
Besides, it's really hard to make costumes every time. But the joy of completing each of them is incredibly awesome!
Now then, let's go shopping right away! I need to buy some of the things that Yuki-chan asked me to for today!
Uhh, double tracing wheel, and more of those braid trims that we usually use... wait, what's a tracing wheel again!?
...Hehe, this actually happens quite a lot while I'm shopping.
Kazunari: What do you do at times like this?
Taichi: I either search on my phone or ask Yuki-chan!
First, I'll look up what a tracing wheel is... Ah, found it! Ohhh, so that's what it looks like!
Next is braid trim... Huh? Which one did he say he's lacking again? For this, we'll send a LIME to ask Yuki-chan!
Phew, we somehow managed to complete our errand safely!
It's kinda embarrassing that I couldn't remember the name of a tool I don't use much...
But yeah, this is what I usually do as costume-making assistant!
Well then, let's move on to the next place now~.
I've actually never shown this place to my fans not even once, but I want you guys to see it this time, so come follow me!
—Kung-fu Dojo (Evening)—
Kazunari: What's this place, Taicchan?
Taichi: This is the Kung-fu dojo that I always visit ever since the play "Fire up! Mantou Fist" that we performed long time ago!
I've been practising recently to learn this new technique, but its pretty difficult...
That's why I'm sure I'll fail many times for today as well.
But I want all the fans to know the genuine me, so I'll show you guys as it is!
Please take care of me today, Lee-san!
Lee: Will do.
Kazunari: GJ, Taicchan~! I think the vlog's coming out just perfect!
Taichi: Thanks! By the way, you kept cheering for me while I was practising, right?
Kazunari: Ahaha! You were doing your best so hard that I couldn't help and let out my voice!
Taichi: Your cheers made me feel really encouraged!
...Would the fans be happy with this vlog of mine?
Kazunari: I'm sure it'll be totes okay, since it's the best video ever with full of your charms!
Taichi: That's good to know! I wanna hurry up and show it to my fans~!

Kazunari: It's full of Taicchan's charms, so please enjoy it~!
Muku: I'm really excited since I haven't seen it yet.
Homare: I'm filled with expectations to see what kind of charm is packed in this vlog.
Taichi: Without further ado, let's start the video!
Taichi: "Hey there, is everyone watching~? It's me, Taichi Nanao!"
Muku: Is that... a handicraft store?
Taichi: Correctamundo!
Homare: Hm, it is interesting that Taichi-kun chooses this place as "the sight he wants to show his fans".
Taichi: "Uhh, double tracing wheel, and more of those braid trims that we usually use... wait, what's a tracing wheel again!?"
Fan D: Seeing him being flustered is so cute!
Fan A: Do your best~!
Taichi: "Phew, we somehow managed to complete our errand safely!"
"Well then, let's move on to the next place now~."
"I've actually never shown this place to my fans not even once, but I want you guys to see it this time, so come follow me!"
Fan B: Eh! Not even once!?
Fan C: Where is it~?
Homare: Oh my, this place is...
Taichi: "This is the Kung-fu dojo that I always visit ever since the play "Fire up! Mantou Fist" that we performed long time ago!"
Fan D: Eh, we can see Taichi-kun do Kung-fu!?
Fan E: I'm so happy!
Taichi: "Ahh, I failed again~!"
Kazunari: "You almost got it just now~."
Lee: "Would you like to end here for today?"
Taichi: "No, let me do it one more time please!"
Fan A: He's really working hard!
Muku: I didn't know he challenged this so many times...
Lee: "Well then, let us start from the beginning once more."
Taichi: "Yes, sir! ......HOH! YAH!"
Kazunari: "That's good, keep it up!"
Homare: You were almost there, Taichi-kun!
Fan B: Do your best~!
Fan C: So close!
Taichi: "Hahh, I almost got it though~. Like I thought, it's really hard..."
Lee: "It's already this late, so the next one will the last for today."
Taichi: "I understand. I'll do my best til I can learn it!"
Lee: "Now then, BEGIN!"
Taichi: "Hah! Yah!"
Kazunari: "Goooo~!"
Taichi: "Ora! Fuh! ...YAHH!!"
"......I-, I-, I did it~!"
Kazunari: "Oohh~! Grats, Taicchan!"
Fan D: Congrats!
Fan E: Yay~!
Muku: Woah, that's amazing!
Lee: "You've done really well for practising this technique."
Taichi: "It's all thanks to you, Lee-san! Thank you very much for today!"
"I-I did it~..."
Kazunari: "GJ, Taicchan! How do you feel right now?"
Taichi: "Suuuper happy!"
*clap clap*
That's all from my vlog. Thanks for watching, everyone!
...Actually, I had to re-film everything 'cause I didn't like the first take.
Homare: Is that so?
Taichi: I planned to only show the cool parts of me at first, but then it didn't feel like myself at all. It felt so out of place...
It was Kazu-kun who noticed why the vlog seemed like that.
That's why I decided to let you all see the current genuine me that doesn't try to look cool!
I felt a bit embarrassed that I looked bad at some parts, but I want those who always support me know this side of me too.
Muku: Taichi-kun...
Taichi: From now on, to make you guys think that even the genuine Taichi Nanao seem cool...
And to make you all feel glad for supporting me, I'm going to learn even more of all sorts of things and master everything!
That's why, I'd be happy if you guys continue to support me!
*clap clap*
Fan C: I'll always support you~!
Fan D: I love you~!
Kazunari: Taicchan who did his best is so cool! Y'all think the same thing, right?
Fans: We do~!
Taichi: Eh?
Homare: Hm, it was quite admirable to see the sight of you that keeps challenging without giving up for the sake of learning the technique just now.
Muku: That's right. You were really cool, Taichi-kun!
Fan D: So cool~!
Taichi: Everyone~! Thank you~!
Muku: Oh, seems like it's almost time to end...
Taichi: Already!? So quick~!
Homare: Time sure flies very quickly when you're having fun.
Kazunari: Oh yeah, we gotta take a pic at the end! Who's gonna be the cameraman?
Taichi: I want Kazu-kun, the one who did all the vlogging to take it!
Kazunari: Okie~!
Here we go~. Make a heart, please!
Taichi: S-sure!
Kazunari: Say 'cheese'~!
*snap*
Homare: Hm, is it alright to not say 'cheese', Taichi-kun?
Taichi: AH!
Homare: I recommend you say 'Gorgonzola' instead...
Taichi: I-I'm fine even without all that!
Muku: Fufu, he's really flustered.
Kazunari: I'll take a pic of this Taicchan too!
Taichi: EHH!?
*snap*
Story Clear!
__________________________
FINALLY. Sorry that I've been keeping this card for quite a while. I couldn't really work on any stories while I was on school break, cuz I wanted to spend my time binge-watch/read all the animes and mangas I've missed out the last few months. I've missed doing this so I hope I'll get the next one done sooner or later :D
