#a3 backstage
T/N: Thank you to @augustmishas for providing this backstage!
Hisoka: (Still can’t… think of any memories.)
Guy: Welcome.
Hisoka: … Welcome.
Customer: Good evening.
Guy: Long time no see.
Customer: Ehh, you remember me, huh.
Guy: Yes. You have visited before. I believe you said you ran a shop.
Customer: I see. Haha, thanks for remembering.
Guy: At that time, Mikage had a day off.
Hisoka: … I’m Mikage.
Customer: Furuta. It’s a pleasure.
Guy: Last time, you mentioned heading abroad for work.
Furuta: Yes. I went to purchase something the other day and I found something promising.
Guy: I hope it went well.
Furuta: It did, but apart from management, there was this problem…
Guy: Problem?
Furuta: Actually, the kid doing part time had to go home and rest.
So I haven’t gone on a business trip in a while, since I have to manage the store myself, but there is a day where I have to leave the store closed.
I’ve been trying to find someone who can work that day…
Many of our customers and those who call are foreigners. So it’s difficult if you don’t speak English.
But I haven’t found anyone yet… Well, it’s alright if it’s only one day.
Hisoka: … What kinda store?
Furuta: It’s a general store. We handle mainly imported antiques and miscellaneous goods.
It’s quite popular to enthusiasts and locals because of the rare items.
Hisoka: Imported antiques and miscellaneous goods…
(Maybe I’ll find something that’ll give me a memory.)
… I can probably do it.
Furuta: Eh? You… can work part time?
Hisoka: Yes.
Guy: Mikage can speak English. It’s alright.
Furuta: That’s good! I’m saved! Thank you.
Hisoka: … Please take care of me.
Furuta: No problem.
Ah, I forgot to mention. There is one more important thing…
~
Furuta: Here’s the apron.
Hisoka: Thanks.
Cat: Mew.
Furuta: Ah, that’s good. The cat seems to like Mikage-kun. This is Nosta.
Cat: Me~ow.
Hisoka: (There was a cat in the candy store where I worked part time too… I wonder if cats and stores just go together.)
(This store… It has a lot of things. Miscellaneous goods, accessories, and mysterious figurines…)
Furuta: For this place, people would normally check the site and choose whatever they want.
I always believed shopping can bring fateful encounters.
Hisoka: Fateful encounters?
Furuta: Yes. It’s the same as people meeting, I believe objects and people can have a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Like it’s destiny.
What you pick up from the store, can quite possibly change your life around.
It’s a fate, simply romantic, isn’t it.
Hisoka: So this is the meeting place?
Furuta: Haha, I wish that was the case.
Ah, it’s time to head out.
Nosta is fairly spoiled and capricious, so I hope you two get along. The snacks are on that shelf.
Alright then, time to go. Thank you for doing this.
Hisoka: Yeah.
Nosta: Meow.
~
Foreign Customer: <Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to shop smoothly.>
Hisoka: <No problem.>
… Fuu.
(It’s a small shop, but there’s still a lot of people. It’s already evening.)
I haven’t spoken English in a while, I’m tired.
(Before, it was normal to speak English or my native language… Now, Japanese, which I had a hard time with before, is more familiar to me.)
… I wonder.
… Ah. I’ve been so busy that I forgot to look for something for the bromide.
?
Nosta: Mew.
Hisoka: Nosta, don’t jump on the products.
Nosta: Mew mew~.
Hisoka: (I wonder if he’s playing with the accessories on purpose. Right, snacks…)
Nosta: Meow.
Hisoka: Ah…
An accessory fell off the shelf. I hope it didn’t break…
… It’s… a rosary.
Nosta: Meow.
Hisoka: Rosary… cat…
PREV || NEXT
T/N: Thank you to @augustmishas for providing this backstage!
Hisoka: Zzz…
Izumi: Ah, figured he’d be here.
(Brought a warm blanket again…)
Wake up, Hisoka-san.
Hisoka: Zzz…
Izumi: Nothing… Alright, guess I gotta take out the big guns.
Hisoka-saaan, here’s a marshmallow~.
Hisoka: … MONCH.
Izumi: Ah, good morning.
Hisoka: This marshmallow tastes like… caramel… and ginger?
Izumi: Yep. It’s limited time only.
Hisoka: … It’s good.
Izumi: (He’s silently asking for another one…)
I’ll give you the rest after I tell you something.
It’s about your bromide for your birthday shoot.
Hisoka: Ahh… Forgot about that.
Izumi: You see… uum…
Hisoka: … I have to include a memory from before joining the company.
Izumi: … Yeah.
As an added bonus to the picture, everyone would give a memory too.
Hisoka-san spent a lot of time with memory loss while he was in the company, but it seems that he’s regained a lot of memories—.
But I still feel like you might struggle with it.
Hisoka: … Thanks for the thought.
I don’t think I’ll be able to give anything detailed, but maybe something similar is fine.
Izumi: Really? That’s a relief…
Then, I’ll let you know when the photoshoot is.
Hisoka: Wait.
Izumi: ?
Hisoka: … Marshmallows.
Izumi: That’s right! Sorry sorry. Here ya go.
Hisoka: Thanks.
Izumi: Alright, I’ll take my leave now.
Hisoka: Okay.
… Munch munch.
(I know what I said… but do I have something?)
…
(Can’t think of anything… Maybe ‘cause it’s all bad.)
Munch munch…
(Welp, it can’t be helped so I have to ask him.)
~
Hisoka: (… It’s cloudy, I can’t see the moon well…)
Ah, he’s back.
~
Chikage: Hm?
Hisoka: …
Chikage: This guy…
~
Hisoka: Welcome home.
Chikage: I’m home. Let’s keep it short now.
Hisoka: … It’s my turn for the birthday bromide photoshoot.
For the shoot, I need to choose a memory from before joining Mankai.
Chikage: Yeah.
Hisoka: Do you have any ideas, Chikage?
Chikage: You want me to help you choose one of your memories? Absolutely not.
You have most of your memories back, don’t you?
Hisoka: …Yeah. But I don’t exactly trust it completely.
But… before joining Mankai, there’s a lot of memories I don’t wanna remember.
I have my memories, but they hold no emotions for me.
Chikage: … I suppose that makes sense.
Hisoka: You don’t understand emotions.
Chikage: Shut up.
Anyway, you’ll have to find one yourself. And I’ll do something on my own as well.
Hisoka: … Useless.
Chikage: I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’ll head down first.
Hisoka: Haa…
(If it’s at the marketplace, then I can probably find some at this time of year.)
Hello~ Short update that I started doing short translation in Twitter because I feel that it’s a better platform for one-liner translation compared to Tumblr. If anyone interested, you can find my twitter @chiakitrs
Summary:Tasuku and his role study for Twin Kingdoms

As the People of Fire Nation
Tasuku:
…
Tsumugi:
Tasuku, I understand that you want to keep reading the script, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to push yourself too much, don’t you think it’s a good idea to go for a bit of change of pace?
Tasuku:
Even if you say that, there’s nothing that I really need to do…
Tsumugi:
You might notice a lot of different things if you go outside, you might even find something that you can use for your role study.
Tasuku:
Well, there’s that reason I guess.
Alright, I’ll go play soccer for a bit.
Tsumugi:
P, play soccer?
Tasuku:
? Yeah, that’s the plan… What about it?
Tsumugi:
No, it’s nothing. Have a safe trip.
Tasuku:
Yeah.
Tsumugi:
I thought it would be a good idea if he can rest his body a bit…
Soccer’s pretty meaningful for Tasuku too, I guess it’s one thing that he can take a break on.
<Shifts to Courtyard>
Tasuku:
Hmm?
Are you going out somewhere, Izumida?
Azami:
I’m not doing anything in particular.
That damned Sakyo kept pestering me if I stay in the room, so I was thinking of going somewhere.
Tasuku-san, you’re holding a soccer ball with you, are you going to plan soccer?
Tasuku:
Yeah. I kept reading the script and Tsumugi told me to go for a change of pace.
If you don’t have anything to do, do you want to come along, Izumida?
Azami:
Right… Then, I’ll tag along for a bit.
<Shifts to Field>
Tasuku:
Right… there.
Anyway, it would be perfect if we have called Minagi and Fushimi to tag along.
Azami:
We’ll already be playing a game if they’re here.
Tasuku:
You’re right.
???:
Takato-san. Azami-
Tasuku:
Hmm?
Tsuzuru:
Good work. Are you working on your pass?
Omi:
We were on our way back from shopping.
We just happened to see the two of you kicking the balls while walking.
Azami:
We were just talking about Tsuzuru-san and Omi-san just now, I didn’t think that you will really appear though.
Omi:
Haha, what a good timing.
Tasuku:
Since you’re here, won’t the two of you join us for a bit?
Tsuzuru:
I’ll take that offer.
Omi:
Yeah. We don’t have anything that we need to put in the fridge right away anyway.
Tasuku:
Then, should we do a 2 vs 2 mini game.
Omi:
Alright.
The team will be, Tasuku-san and Azami, me and Tsuzuru, will it be alright.
Tsuzuru:
Alright.
Azami:
Understood.
Tasuku:
Good, let’s start.
<End of Part 1>
Azami:
Phew…
Tsuzuru:
As if I’ll let you…!
Tasuku:
Izumida, over here!
Azami:
Tasuku-san!
Omi:
Oops!
Tasuku:
Nice pass! Let’s go!
<Time Skip>
Tsuzuru:
Huff… huff…
We’re supposed to take it easy, but it ended up being a serious match…
Omi:
Tasuku-san and Azami make a good combination.
It feels like you’re working together pretty smoothly.
Azami:
That’s true, it’s easy to play with him.
Tasuku:
We’ve been practicing together recently, there’s the master attendant relationship that we have for the play as well, it might be related to that feeling.
Tsuzuru:
Then, I guess it’s working well as a role study for Gilbert and Sasha too.
Omi:
Alright, then, we sweat a lot, once we put back our stuffs back at the dorm, should we go to the usual public bath together?
Tasuku:
Yeah, let’s do that.
<Shifts to Public Bath>
Tsuzuru:
Phew~ This feels great.
Omi:
As I thought, a warm bath after exercising is the best.
Tasuku:
Yeah, nothing beats the feeling of washing off your sweat in a bath.
…
Tsuzuru:
? Takato-san, something bothering you?
Azami:
Why don’t you go in the sauna if you want to?
Tasuku:
Right… Izumida, you should go in as well.
Azami:
? I’m fine though… Anyway, why me?
Tasuku:
As people from fire nation, it might be a good role study to go to a slightly hotter place right.
Azami:
Not really, how does it work like that.
Omi:
Haha, if you say so, why don’t the 2 of you try it?
Tsuzuru:
Gilbert can use fire magic as well, you never know what you can learn with a role study as a motive, so why not.
Tasuku:
Yeah.
Azami:
There’s no other choice…
<Shifts to Sauna>
Tasuku:
…
Azami:
Phew…
Tasuku-san, it’s getting hot here, I’ll be going back first.
Tasuku:
…
Azami:
Tasuku-san?
Tasuku:
Tasuku? What are you talking about, Sasha.
Azami:
Seriously… He’s in his role.
I feel like he just got into the role while thinking about it…
Tasuku:
Hmm, it’s rare to see Sasha in trouble like that.
Also, your atmosphere’s a bit different from usual.
Azami:
The one different from usual is you isn’t it.
Tasuku:
Sasha, what kind of way of speaking is that.
Azami:
I have no choice but to call Omi-san and Tsuzuru-san.
Sigh, stop doing that in this kind of place, Tasuku-san…
<End of Part 2>
Btw, I created a Twitter account that’s purely for translation cause I just realized that I can link post with Tumblr… I’m really bad at Social Media, my bad haha~

To Pisces: Tasuku
Tasuku:
… I’m home.
Tsumugi:
Tasuku, welcome back.
Azuma:
You’re quite late today.
Director:
Would you like to eat something?
It’s more or less the leftover Omi-kun made just now though…
Tasuku:
Nah… It’s alright.
Tsumugi:
…Tasuku, are you feeling tired?
Tasuku:
No, that’s not the case…
Tsumugi:
But, your face deosn’t look so good.
Tasuku:
…
Actually, the guest performance that I’m doing right now has quite an exhausting content.
Today has both afternoon and evening shows, that’s why I look tired more than usual maybe.
Azuma:
It sounds reasonable if Tasuku said that.
Homare:
As expected of Tsumugi-kun, to be able to see it through!
Tsumugi:
I’ve known Tasuku for a very long time after all.
Tasuku:
Well, tomorrow’s the final day, so just one more step to go.
Director:
Please do your best!
Tasuku:
Yeah.
Hisoka:
Tasuku, I’ll give you a marshmallow so get well.
Azuma:
Speaking of which, it will be Tasuku’s birthday soon right.
Guy:
When everything calms down, let’s celebrate it together.
Homare:
Do you have anywhere you want to go?
Tasuku:
…No.
Homare:
Anything’s fine, so just think of something!
Tasuku:
If you say so… I want to eat something delicious.
Azuma:
Something delicious huh… That sounds good.
Tsumugi:
This is Tasuku we’re talking about after all, I thought you’re going to say that you want to watch Soccer or something.
Tasuku:
We won’t end up watching the match together even if we went with these members, I’ll invite Soccer Club for that.
Guy:
You’re right.
Hisoka:
… You know that well.
Tsumugi:
Since we’re going out to eat then, maybe we can consider going somewhere further this time.
Azuma:
If that’s the case, let me check out the stores.
Tasuku:
… Thank you so much.
<Time Skip>
Tasuku:
In the end, I’m still the driver…
Tsumugi:
Would you like me to drive instead?
Director:
Then, as someone who just tagged along with Winter Troupe, let me do it instead!
Tasuku:
Nevermind… I will drive.
Guy:
… You want to change?
Tasuku:
Be that as it may, I will get restless if I don’t drive at all.
It’s alright.
Azuma:
Fufu, so it’s like this in the end.
<End of Part 1>
Azuma:
This is the place.
Tsumugi:
Woah, there are so many people lining up.
Tasuku:
That’s quite a long line.
Director:
It’s a popular store huh.
Azuma:
Don’t worry, I already made a reservation.
Tsumugi:
As expected of Azuma-san, you don’t miss anything.
Azuma:
Fufu, it’s not my nature to keep the guests waiting.
<Shifts to Shop>
Director:
Alright, let’s see… What should I order.
Guy:
There are abundant choices in the menu.
Homare:
With this much choice, I won’t be able to decide what to order!
Tasuku:
The most popular menu here is Tonkatsu huh…
Director:
That looks delicious!
Azuma:
Other than the set meal, the assorted sashimi seems to have a good reputation as well.
Homare:
Since we’re here, let’s order that as well!
Hisoka:
Marshmallow…
Tasuku:
There’s no such thing obviously.
Tsumugi:
No matter where we go, Hisoka-san doesn’t change huh.
Director:
Ahaha…
<Short Time Skip>
Director:
This is so delicious!
Tsumugi:
Just by this, I already understand why there can be a long line outside.
Azuma:
I made a reservation because it’s a popular restaurant, but I guess we hit a jackpot on this store.
Tasuku:
The sashimi is delicious too.
You can see the freshness in every one of them.
Hisoka:
The squid is so juicy.
Homare:
Sounds like it will go well with Japanese Sake.
Azuma:
But, Tasuku’s driving so he can’t drink.
Let’s try to enjoy ourselves without sake today.
Tasuku:
You don’t need to mind me, it’s fine if you want to drink you know.
Director:
Eh? We know you’ll say that but…
Guy:
Then, let me drive on the way back.
That way, Takato can enjoy drinking sake with everyone.
Tasuku:
But, Guy-san won’t be able to drink.
Guy:
Today is Takato’s birthday celebration, so don’t mind it.
Anyway, I feel like driving as well.
Azuma:
Fufu, since Guy already said that, should we order some Japanese Sake.
Tasuku:
…Thank you so much.
<Time Skip>
Homare:
I’m so full.
Director:
The dishes there were really delicious~
Guy:
Yeah. I would like to go again if there’s another chance.
Tasuku:
Even so… I ate too much.
Tasuku:
Tasuku’s still the same.
Homare:
It’s a celebration, I don’t think you need to mind it!
Hisoka:
…Ah.
Director:
Hisoka-san, what happened?
Hisoka:
…This, I forgot about it.
<End of Part 2>
Hisoka:
…This, I forgot about it.
Director:
That is, ‘Hello Celestial Sphere’?
Homare:
You brought it with you before you realized huh.
Azuma:
As expected of Hisoka, you’re thoughtful.
Tsumugi:
This Celestial Sphere, it’s the item that will grant your wish if you make a wish during your birthday…
Hisoka:
Yeah. That’s why, Tasuku… Wish for something.
Tasuku:
With this timing?
Hisoka:
Whatever’s fine.
Tasuku:
Even if you say whatever, it’s not that easy.
Azuma:
Tasuku’s normally very stoic after all, it’s fine to think of a wish from that perspective isn’t it.
Tasuku:
…
You’re right… Then…
Hello, the star of Pisces, I want every food to have zero calory.
[
[
Choice 1: That sounds like Tasuku-san’s wish alright
Director:
That sounds like Tasuku-san’s wish alright.
Azuma:
As expected of Tasuku, you are still worried about the calories even when you’re making your wish.
Tasuku:
I ate too much on the store just now.
Anyway, if all the food becomes zero calory, I can eat without worrying about the intake right.
Hisoka:
Will you eat a lot of marshmallow as well?
Homare:
Hisoka-kun, even if it’s not zero calory, you always eat the marshmallow as much as you want.
Director:
Surely, it sounds good to be able to eat as much as you want without worrying about the calories!
]
]
[
[
Choice 2: Zero calory is dangerous you know!
Director:
But, if all the food becomes zero calory, you won’t be able to get any nutrition!
Azuma:
Fufu, that’s true, Director certainly has a point there.
Tasuku:
In that case, it’s not just calories, I should wish so that I can still get the necessary nutrients as well.
Guy:
I see… If that’s the case, then there should be no problem.
Tsumugi:
Even for Tasuku, that’s such a cute wish to make.
Tasuku:
… I was told to make a wish, so I just said mine honestly.
]
]
Azuma:
Your wish, it will be great if it’s granted.
Director:
Fufu, it will be great if that wish is granted.
Tasuku:
… You’re right.
<Time Skip>
Tasuku:
…Phew.
(I ended up eating a lot yesterday. I tried making the running distance a bit longer, but…
I have to reset the protein balance with food I guess)
<Shifts to Lounge>
Tsumugi:
Tasuku, good morning.
Tasuku:
Yeah, morning.
Tsumugi:
Omi-kun has prepared some hot sandwiches.
Tasuku:
Hot sandwiches?
Tsumugi:
Yeah. He managed to get hold of a hot sandwich maker, and he ended up making a lot of hot sandwich with different ingredients.
Like Ham and Cheese, Teriyaki Chicken and Mayo, Ebi Shrimp and Avocado, there are a lot of them.
Tasuku:
I see, but, I’m thinking of getting rid of protein this morning. I really ate too much yesterday.
Homare:
If that’s the case, then there’s no problem!
The hot sandwich is just putting things together and baking, they are zero calory!
Tasuku:
… What are you talking about?
Homare:
The calories disappear when you put them together and bake them, that’s why it’s 0 calory!
Tsumugi:
Yup yup. Don’t mind it too much, why don’t you try eating it first?
Tasuku:
…
<Shifts to Corridor>
Tasuku:
(I was able to avoid the hot sandwich in the end, but there’s something wrong with Arisugawa. Tsumugi too…)
Hisoka:
Ah, it’s Tasuku.
Would you like to eat this?
Tasuku:
…This marshmallow, why is it crushed?
Hisoka:
Once the marshmallow is crushed, it’s 0 calory.
Tasuku:
What kind of reasoning is that.
Azuma:
Tasuku, how about this donut?
It’s shaped like a zero, same with the calory…
Guy:
If that’s the case, this Baumkuchen with the same shape has 0 calory too.
Tasuku:
!?
Homare:
Don’t you like Baumkuchen!?
If not, I have this bagel as well!
Tsumugi:
These snacks have holes in the middle, so they’re 0 calory too.
Hisoka:
Tasuku, you want marshmallow right?
Tasuku:
No—
(What’s happening here…!?)
<Time Skip, Shifts to Room 204>
Tasuku:
Yawn…
(I saw a terrible dream last night.
When I thought about it, that might be the work of the Celestial Sphere…
… Nah, that’s impossible)
<Shifts to Lounge>
Omi:
Good morning.
Breakfast is ready.
Tasuku:
Yeah, thank you.
Omi:
Alright, I have to prepare the dough…
Tasuku:
What happened?
Omi:
I got a request from Muku, so I’m preparing some donuts for snacks.
Tasuku:
Donuts…?
Omi:
When it’s done, I’ll bring one for you as well.
Tasuku:
… By the way, that donut, it’s not zero calory right?
Omi:
Eh? What are you talking about?
Tasuku:
Nah… It’s nothing.
Forget about it.
<End of Part 3>
