Tsuzuru: (Alright, I don’t have anywhere to stop today, so I’ll just go straight home.)

Kumon: HEEEY! TSUZURU-SAAAN! 

Taichi: Just wait a second~!

Tsuzuru: Oh, are you guys heading home too?

Taichi: Nah, Kyu-chan and I were thinking of going to the mall after this today.

Tsuzuru: The mall?

Kumon: They’ve got a special corner for White Day set up there!

Tsuzuru: Ahh, so that’s why. We do have to return the favor to the Director.

Tsuzuru: Speaking of that, do you guys know what you’re gonna give her?

Taichi: I still haven’t decided on anything~.

Kumon: Me neither! That’s why we were thinking that maybe that special corner could help to give us some ideas.

Tsuzuru: Gotcha, that does make sense.

Taichi: If you haven’t decided on anything yet either, do you wanna come with us, Tsuzuru-kun?

Tsuzuru: I guess I haven’t really thought of anything yet… Sure, I’ll come with you.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Taichi: Uwhoa! They’ve got so many cute sweets here~!

Kumon: Ah, this Japanese-style one seems like something Nii-chan would like!

Tsuzuru: Hey, I thought we came here to look for things for the Director.

Tsuzuru: Anyway, they’ve got cookies, candies, marshmallows… Having all these different kinds of things actually makes it kinda harder to pick one.

Taichi: I know, right…!? But that���s why our main focus today is research!

Kumon: Yeah, yeah, we don’t have to force ourselves to decide on anything today. All we need to do is just take things easy and narrow things down!

Taichi: We wanna find something that makes Director-sensei happy, after all~.

Tsuzuru: Right. It’s best to just choose something carefully so that we can return the favor.

· ❀ —– ٠ ❀ ٠ —– ❀ ·

Tsuzuru: (Seeing all those different kinds of sweets today has made me feel like that’s all I’m hungry for…)

Tsuzuru: (But still, what to do for the Director for White Day…?)

Tsuzuru: (If it were just up to me, I’d probably make her fried rice in return.)

Tsuzuru: (But would it maybe be better to give her one of those stylish sweets for a change, too…?)

Tsuzuru: Hmm…

Tsuzuru: I can’t come up with anything on my own.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

*Knock on door*

Izumi: Come in.

*Door opens*

Izumi: What’s up, Tsuzuru-kun?

Tsuzuru: Sorry if this is coming out of nowhere. I wasn’t really sure if I should ask you this, but…

Tsuzuru: What sorta thing would you like to get in return for White Day? I wanted to hear from you what you’d like, Director.

Izumi: You don’t have to get me anything in return.

Tsuzuru: Hey, that’s not how this works.

Tsuzuru: …And you can say that all you want, but if I don’t get an answer for what you’d want, I’m just gonna end up making fried rice again…

Izumi: If that’s the case, then would you please make me fried rice again?

Tsuzuru: Huh? Are you sure that’s fine…?

Izumi: Of course. I actually always look forward to the fried rice you make for me on White Day, Tsuzuru-kun.

Tsuzuru: …Got it. Alright, I’ll do my best to make it for you again!

Izumi: Thank you. I’m looking forward to it!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: (I did a bunch of research on my phone yesterday, and I think I’ve got the perfect recipe to make some delicious fried rice.)

Tsuzuru: (And I didn’t skimp out on preparing the ingredients either. I mean, I was so excited about this whole thing that I ended up buying all this meat, shrimp, and curry powder…)

Tsuzuru: (At least I don’t have to worry about running out of anything. I can let the Director have whatever I have left over… I’m sure she’d be happy with that.)

Tsuzuru: Anyway…

Tsuzuru: (I can’t believe all it took for me to be this motivated was hearing the Director say, ‘I’m looking forward to it’—.)

Tsuzuru: …W-Whatever, I’ll just get to making it.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: Alright, just a little more, and it’ll be done.

Citron: Something smells very good~!

Sakuya: It kinda smells like curry!

Tsuzuru: Ah, Citron-san and Sakuya.

Citron: Ohh! Tsuzuru is cooking!

Sakuya: Ah, are you making curry fried rice? It looks really good.

Citron: And just when I was starting to get hungry! Tsuzuru, I would also like to eat some of that!

Tsuzuru: Ahh… Sorry, I can’t let you do that. This is for someone else to eat.

Citron: …Ohh, I see! That is why you will not let us eat it~.

Sakuya: Hehe, I guess we know why it’s curry fried rice then!

Tsuzuru: I’m sure you do.

Tsuzuru: So that’s why I can’t let you have this fried rice, but I can make you something else with the leftover ingredients if you want.

Citron: Thank you, Tsuzuru! We would very much like that~!

Sakuya: Thank you so much, Tsuzuru-kun! Ah, I’ll help out!

Tsuzuru: Don’t worry about it. I’ll get started on it soon, just wait a little bit.

Kumon: So, what’s going to be the setting for Azuma-san’s photoshoot!?

Kazunari: I’m super curious about his boyfriend material photoshoot!

Izumi: Azuma-san’s setting is decided to be “Ocean Date”!

Muku: Wow, how romantic!

Kumon: Ocean date is totally fitting!

Azuma: The scenery of the ocean is wonderful for a date, what will I be doing on the ocean I wonder?

Kazunari: How about things like talking by the shore together or strolling by with water only reaching the ankle, a classic don’t you think?

Kumon: A tag sounds fun too!

Muku: Or in shoujo mangas, they often share umbrellas or write each other's names on the sand.

Yuki: Wasn’t there something like picking up sea glasses? Kumon, you picked up sea glasses back then too, right?

Kumon: I did! Now that you say it, I feel like good things will happen if you get sea glasses Azuma-san picked up!

Kazunari: Totally! He definitely has some sort of resonation with it!

Azuma: Fufu, I don’t think I do though.

Yuki: Well, even so sea glasses are pretty, don’t you think it resonates with date activities?

Izumi: That’s right, we can pick up some sea glasses as well as deliver the setting well.

Azuma: I agree. Thank you for the idea everyone. I’ll take note of it.

(....While I’m at it, I wonder if I should ask Tasuku to accompany me to the beach.)

location: beach

Azuma: Sorry, I had to ask you to bring me here again.

Tasuku: It’s nothing much, really. It’s for the magazine project, anyway.

Azuma: Thanks. Though, even we got here. I’m not quite sure what to do.

Tasuku: Well, it had always been like that. Adults usually just look at the scenery and talk when they’re at the beach.

Azuma: Fufu, you’re right.

Ah, that kid…

Looks like that kid is looking for something with a bottle——

Azuma: Sea glasses…Hehe, I just got reminded of what Kumon said earlier.

Tasuku: What did he say?

Azuma: He said if he were to receive sea glasses that I picked up, something good will happen.

Tasuku: What does that even mean…

Well, it does sound like Hyodo Jr, alright.

Azuma: Yup, that does.

Ah, I found some sea glass here. I’ll give it to the kid over there.

Tasuku: Alright, I’ll go too.

Azuma: Thanks, let's go.

Azuma: Hey, I’ll give some sea glasses for you.

Boy: Thank you! The bottle is too big, gathering it all by myself is bothersome, I’m happy!

Azuma: What are you going to do with it?

Boy: Yeah! My little sister likes sea glasses, so I wanted to collect lots of them in this bottle for her birthday present!

Azuma: I see, so it’s a birthday present.

(...I just got reminded of the birthday present brother prepared for me)

I’m sure your little sister will be happy to get such a wonderful birthday present from her brother)

Boy: Hehe, I’m sure you’re right! I’m doing my best for her, I have to collect as many as I can!

Azuma: …Then, if you’re alright with it, can I help you out gathering the sea glasses?

Boy: Eh, is that okay?

Azuma: Yep, of course. Is that fine, Tasuku?

Tasuku: Well, I don’t really have anything to do anyways.

Boy: Really?! Yay, Thank you!

Azuma: Lastly, I think if you put this in it’ll look like there’s a lot.

Boy: You’re right, it does!

Tasuku: That’s good.

Boy: Yeah! Thank you, big bros! 

Azuma: Thank you for letting us help you prepare a precious birthday present.

Boy: Ah, I have to get back now…!

Thank you for helping me! Bye-bye!

Azuma: Mhm, see you again.

Tasuku: Not many sea glasses wash up the shore so I wasn’t really confident, but I’m glad.

Azuma: Yep, thank you for helping.

Tasuku: You're welcome.

Azuma: Anyways, we should head back too.

Tasuku: Have you come up with something for the photoshoot?

Azuma: Mhm, I suppose so.

Tasuku: That’s good.

A3! Izumida Azami | SSR - The Shining You | Translation

Quote: "I haven’t had the chance to put my hands on a traditional musical instrument until now. Learning new things to understand my role is pretty fun… I think."

-------------

A Contemporary Hikaru Genji / 1

Kumon: Good morning, director!  Azami: ‘Morning.  Izumi: Good morning, breakfast is ready. Omi-kun made it, though.  Kumon: It looks SO good~! Thanks, I’m digging in!  Azami: Thanks for the food.  Kumon: Oh, right. Today is the elective class day, isn’t it?  Azami: Ah… yeah, I guess.  Izumi: Elective lesson?  Kumon: There are several subjects and we can choose the one we’d like to receive something like a special class— Kumon: It’s different from the usual because all the grades will be combined!  Izumi: Heh, there are classes like that. What are the subjects?  Azami: There are various related to culture, art, and PE. You can do practical activities too. Izumi: I see~.  Izumi: Since all the grades are combined, does that mean you two can take the same class?  Kumon: What! You’re SO right! I didn’t think about that!  Azami: That’s true…  Kumon: Hey, so which class are you choosing, Azami?  Azami: …That’s a secret.  Kumon: Eh~! Why?!  Azami: It won’t be fun if I just tell you. …Thanks, I finished.  Kumon: What, already? You eat so fast!  Azami: That’s because you’ve been talking all the time. Besides, we’ll be late if we don’t go out soon.  Kumon: You’re right. It’s so late!  Kumon: Munch, munch… Thanks, it was all good! Then, we’re going out!  Azami: We’re leaving.  Izumi: Have a nice day. Be careful! 

Teacher: The elective class will be next. Each student has to go immediately to the designated classroom.    Student A: Where was mine?  Student B: Let’s check the paper!  Azami: (My lesson is… in the multipurpose room?) Azami: (I haven’t gone there that often… but I’m almost sure it’s under the stairs.)

Azami: (I’m here, but… there aren’t many people. That will make it easier—.)  Kumon: —HUH?! Is you, Azami?!

A Contemporary Hikaru Genji / 2

Azami: …Huh?  Kumon: Eh! No way, you’re in this class?! I’m in this class too! That’s crazy!  Azami: Hey… lower your voice. Everyone is quiet,  Kumon: Ahaha, sorry! I got too excited.  Azami: Anyways, why are you here, Kumon?  Kumon: What do you mean by why? I chose traditional musical instrument practice as my elective class!  Azami: Really…? That’s so unexpected.  Kumon: Originally, I wanted to choose another class, but they rejected me after reaching their max.  Kumon: And since there weren’t many here, I decided to come and try traditional musical instruments. I didn’t know we would be together!  Azami: Sigh…  Kumon: But, why did you choose the musical instrument practice, Azami? Azami: Ah… for nothing in particular.  Kumon: Uh-huh~? 

Kumon: …And, and, Azami and I ended up in the same elective class!  Azami: It freaked me out to see him in the classroom.  Izumi: Ahaha, I can imagine that happening.   Izumi: How was the class?  Kumon: The instructor taught us how to play the koto. Azami got praised a LOT~.  Azami: I wasn’t the only one who got praised, though.  Izumi: The koto, huh…?  Izumi: (Hm? That’s like—)  Citron: Could it be that you are interested in traditional musical instruments?!  Kumon: Woah, Citron-san?!  Azami: Where did you come from? Citron: My Citron sense was tingling, so I came!  Kumon: Your sense?! That’s so cool!  Izumi: Eeh… what happens with the traditional musical instruments?  Citron: A madam from the shopping district invited me to a traditional musical instrument lesson.  Citron: I was sad because I won’t be able to go that day when I heard you all talking about the koto.  Citron: If you’re interested, I’d like you to go in my stead!  Kumon: Eh! I want to go!  Citron: Ooh! That’s Kumon for you!  Kumon: The director and Azami will go too, right?!  Azami: …I don’t see why not.  Izumi: I’m okay with that too.  Citron: Thank you! I’ll tell the madam about it. 

A Contemporary Hikaru Genji / 3

Izumi: This feels unexpectedly prestigious. It gives an authentic vibe.  Azami: Yeah… completely different from the high school class.  Kumon: I’m getting a bit nervous!  Instructor: Greetings, everyone! Are you Citron’s friends? Hello and welcome~!!  Azami: … Izumi: (I thought the koto instructor would be quiet and graceful, so her energy surprised me…) Kumon: Great, this will be fun~! As expected of Citron-san’s acquaintance!  Azami: Her passion is impressive…  Instructor: Now tell me, have you put your hands on a koto before?  Kumon: Azami and I have played for a little in one of our high school classes.  Instructor: Oh, is that true? I’m so happy to hear that.  Azami: We can’t play it quite well, though.  Izumi: Ah, I don’t have experience with it.  Instructor: It’s okay if you don’t have any. I’m glad you’ve come.  Instructor: The koto is a relatively easy-to-learn musical instrument for beginners. I’m sure you’ll have a great time playing it!  Izumi: I see… I feel more confident now!  Instructor: Then, let’s start right away! 

Izumi: (Eeh, is it like this…?)  Izumi: ♪~   Izumi: Ah, it made a sound!  Instructor: Indeed, my dear. You can use only your thumb for now. Be sure to pluck them from the front to the back—.  Kumon: ♪~  Instructor: What a lovely sound! I wouldn’t expect less from an experienced one!  Kumon: Hehe, thanks!  Azami: ♪~... ♪~ … Instructor: Well… Very well… That’s…! There’s an ephemeral feeling in his melody—.  Instructor: It’s like you were a contemporary Hikaru Genji!  Azami: —  Kumon: Hikaru Genji from “The Tale of Genji”? Instructor: Yes. The radiant master could play any musical instrument wonderfully.  Instructor: Since it’s a story from the Heian Period, there are traditional musical instruments in it… And the koto is one of them.  Kumon: So that’s the thing! Did you know that, Azami?!  Azami: …Yeah.  Izumi: …In the end, Azami-kun chose traditional musical instruments as his elective class because of their relationship with Hikaru Genji.  Kumon: Wait, really?!  Azami: …Is there a problem with that?  Izumi: Of course not. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about him. 

Choice 1: It suits you well. 

Izumi: Besides, the koto seems to go well with you, Azami-kun.  Kumon: Exactly! You know, it gives off… a nostalgic aura!  Azami: You just wanted to say that, didn’t you?  Kumon: Ahaha, you got me! 

Choice 2: Were you interested in the koto? 

Izumi: Did you get interested in the koto after your role as Hikaru Genji? Azami: …Something like that.  Azami: I mostly listen to hip-hop, which is completely different from traditional musical instruments. But it’s not that bad to listen to it sometimes.  Azami: I don’t think I’d have played traditional musical instruments if it wasn’t because of acting.   Azami: Things like that broaden my horizons… and make me think that acting is great.  Izumi: …Fufu, I see. 

Instructor: But seriously, his aura is quite wonderful.  Izumi: Azami-kun played Hikaru Genji until not long ago.  Instructor: So that’s the reason! How marvelous!  Instructor: The three are so good at this that I want to teach you more and more things!   Instructor: Then, let’s keep going! Follow my lead~!!  Kumon: Yes, ma’am! Please continue!  Izumi: Why does this feel like sports encouragement?!  Azami: And suddenly we get the spartan training…

-------------

I'm very sorry if I messed up the line that explains the next step to play the koto. Musical instruments are not my strong suit, so I appreciate any feedback about it.

A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SR] Indomitable Thoroughbred (1/2)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

*door opens*

Masumi: Director—.

Sakuya: Masumi-kun!

Masumi: …Sakuya’s here too?

Izumi: Thanks for coming, Masumi-kun.

Masumi: If you call me, then I’ll be there, 24 hours of the day, 365 days of the year. But… what were you doing with Sakuya?

Sakuya: Huh! What, you ask…

Izumi: Sakuya-kun had something to discuss with me. Isn’t that right, Sakuya-kun?

Sakuya: Y-Yes! Actually, I have a favour to ask you, Masumi-kun…

Masumi: No.

Sakuya: At least hear me out!

Masumi: *Sigh*… what is it?

Sakuya: So you see, they’re holding a bazaar in the neighbouring district and the daycare centre I’m working part-time at is going to participate. On that note, the organizers asked if we could host an event aimed at children. And so, I was wondering if there was anyone who could help us out with that.

Izumi: We were wondering whether you’d be available, Masumi-kun? Only if it doesn’t conflict with your school…

Masumi: I’ll go. I’ll do something about my classes.

Sakuya: Wait, really!? Awesome…! Thank you, Masumi-kun.

Masumi: It’s not for you, Sakuya.

Option 1: “Let me say thank you too.”

Izumi: Let me say thank you too.

Masumi: I’ll do anything if it’s for you. I don’t care even if it risks my life.

Izumi: That’s a bit much… please treasure yourself more, okay?

Masumi: There’s nothing more important than you.

Izumi: (How in the world did the conversation lead to this…)

Option 2: “It helps if you’ll go.”

Izumi: It helps if you’ll go.

Masumi: Attending an event is no problem.

Izumi: Will you be alright for school?

Masumi: Are you worried about me…? I’m so happy… I love you.

Izumi: A-Ahaha… anyways, don’t push yourself, alright?

Izumi: Let me know if you’d like to discuss anything. I’ll be helping out too, after all.

-pause-

Masumi: …

Sakuya: Um… Masumi-kun?

Masumi: …This isn’t what we discussed.

Sakuya: Well, that’s… sorry about that.

Misumi: What’s wrong? You’ll look cool though, Masumi?

Muku: That’s right! You’ll be a very handsome horse!

Masumi: … Why do I have to wear this horse mask…

Yuki: Stop whining. We’re going to be doing a play, so just let it go.

Masumi: Why a horse though?

Tenma: The play’s story is going to be a comedy aimed at children, so…

Masumi: That part’s fine. I don’t understand why I need to go out of my way to wear this horse mask. You guys didn’t wear this kind of headgear when you were acting as cats and dogs.

Kazunari: Hmm~… Why don’t you wear one where your face is visible then? I’m pretty sure we had one like that!

Masumi: …

*imagination starts*

Masumi: …

Izumi: Oh, Masumi-kun…?

Masumi: Director…!

Izumi: Pft…

Masumi: Huh?

Izumi: AHAHAHA. MASUMI-KUN, WHAT ARE THOOOSE…!

*imagination ends*

Masumi: …

Kazunari: Ooh boy. That’s not gonna fly either, huh~?

Kumon: But hey, isn’t it better to wear this mask? Think about it. Director might not even realize it’s you if she can’t see your face!

Masumi: There’s no way around it… I guess this one’s better.

Kumon: Yeah, exactly! This is the way to go!

Tenma: Alright, let’s start our rehearsal.

Hiihiii

Can I request Italian Soda and Mocha for Azami and Kumon(if you write for them) thank uu, have a good day💖

Of course, of course!! I'll really write for anyone lolol, but it has been actual years since I wrote Kumon so I hope this turns out okay hehe<3. Have a lovely day!!

Request rules | Cafe menu

Mocha: How do they show affection?

Italian Soda: How clingy are they? 

Azami 

Mocha

💄 He definitely values quality time the most methinks.

💄 He’ll go out of his way to spend as much time with you as possible, no matter how or where.

💄 Hell, he even seems like the type that would be really happy to just parallel play, anything so long as he knows you’re there with him.

💄 “You free this afternoon? Good. There’s a new store that opened nearby, according to #cosme they’re top-notch. The troupe’s been running low on good stuff, and you’re a good model. Wh- No, I-I didn’t mean you’re cute! You’ve just got good skin to try stuff out on! Jeez, you gotta stop taking what I say in such bad faith…” 💄 That blurb was longer than I wanted wow. Anyway.

💄 He makes SO many excuses to see you.

💄 One day he might need a model, the next he needs help figuring out the schedule to help at one of Veludo Arts’ shows he offered to volunteer for. 

💄 Whatever it is, his claims are fairly easy to see through, and you can’t help but want to laugh at his childishness. 

💄 Aside from trying to spend time with you by any means possible, he also will buy small things for you as thanks for doing so. 

💄 Usually, it’s something like a drink or a snack, but on occasion, he’ll just randomly buy you something really wild, like an expensive piece of jewelry or a pricey menu item.

💄 When you ask him why, he’ll try and brush it off as nothing until you force it out of him with some affection. 

💄 “You didn’t have to kiss me to thank me, you idiot, you could’ve just said it! God, you are impossible! Fine, fine, I got it for you because… well, you’ve been really good to me. That’s it. I am NOT blushing!”

Italian Soda

💄 He can claim whatever he wants, but he’s clingy. Look at that man. 

💄 He loves you. Sorry but it’s true. He can complain and act tough all he wants, but he wants your attention and he will have it, dammit. 

💄 Like I said with the affection thing, he will constantly be coming up with ways to hang out with you, it’s very cute. 

💄 Hell, he’ll even enjoy your touch once in a while, that’s how smitten he is with you.

💄 I can see you two just sitting on the ground, with him sitting in front of you while he plays with your hands, bending each finger this way and that without saying a word. 

💄 It’s one of the rare times he lets his mind wander for a bit, not having the pressure building up in his head, and allowing himself to relax. 

💄 He doesn’t have to think about anything or anyone except you, holding him safe and close.

💄 He probably cried the first time you did this, too, and now he asks for it all the time.

💄 It’s what he deems a “safe” form of affection, he’s not going too far beyond what he’s comfortable with, and it’s soft and warm

💄 Augh I made this about affection again whoops. It’s fine, again, he asks for your attention as much as he can, even if it’s in his own silly way. 

Kumon 

Mocha

⚾ He’s very physical when it comes to affection!! ⚾ He’ll be all up in your business 24/7 to the point where you have to ask him to back off.

⚾ It’s cute tho so it’s ok<3

⚾ “Aw, but I gotta make sure you get your daily dosage! It’s really important that you know you’re loved! I wanna make sure you’re happy!”

⚾ Sweet boy… 

⚾ He’ll also be asking for affection from you often, usually hugs. Again, very cute.

⚾ He greets you every day with a big tackle into a hug, often surprising you. 

⚾ “Hehe, did I get ya? I missed you, cutie! C’mon, let’s go do something fun, okay?”

Italian Soda

⚾ YES. OH MY GOD YES HE IS SO CLINGY. 

⚾ If you thought his clinginess with his brother was annoying, boy just you wait. He is way worse with you. 

⚾ Okay, maybe not worse in the way of constantly asking for acknowledgement, but worse in the way of, again, being in your way. 

⚾ You cannot walk two steps without him trailing behind you, scooting in close. 

⚾ It’s to the point where you often have to ask him for space.

⚾ After setting some boundaries, he’s all good. Mostly.

⚾ Half of your phone’s storage is taken up by voicemails he left simply saying “I miss youuuuuuu you should come visit Mankai soon, okay! Alright, bye, love you!” And you just don’t have the heart to delete them :( 

⚾ But like. I don’t blame you :3

A3! Translation - Hyodo Kumon SSR 【MANKAI Treasure】 Treasure Hunt: KUMON (2/3)

Kumon: --Tsuzuru-san!

Tsuzuru: Oh, you came.

Tsuzuru: Good job, I guess the hint was too easy huh.

Kumon: Hehe, I thought that this hint could only come from Tsuzuru!

Kumon: I was able to instantly remember that time.

*flashback*

Kumon: Ugh... I'm definitely still nervous.

Muku: Kyuchan, it'll be okay. Let's make sure to properly eat our meal.

Tsuzuru: Good morning. Wow, you two are up early even though it's a holiday.

Muku: Good morning, Tsuzuru-san.

Kumon: I have a seminar at university today.

Tsuzuru: Ah, the one you can voluntarily participate in before enrolling.

Kumon: I wonder what the seminar will be like. As the seminar comes closer, I can feel my heart suddenly beating super fast.

Tsuzuru: It felt like more of a light information session than a seminar, so don't worry. I don't think you need to be too nervous.

Kumon: Really? I see, well if Tsuzuru-san says that's the case then.....!

Kumon: And if you think about it, this could be a chance to learn lots and lots about the university!

Tsuzuru: That's right.

Kumon: Oh, by the way, how long do the seminars last?

Tsuzuru: I remember it being around noon probably....

Tsuzuru: I'm actually also going to the university today for a seminar. If you have time, how about having lunch together in the school cafeteria?

Kumon: Eh! I wanna go!

Tsuzuru: That was an immediate answer. Well then, whenever your seminar is over contact me.

Kumon: Mhm! After the seminar, I'll get to eat with Tsuzuru in the school cafeteria....! It's like I'm suddenly looking forward to it!

Muku: Fufu, that's a relief isn't it, Kyuchan.

--------------------------------

Kumon: ---.

Tsuzuru: Sorry to keep you waiting, Kumon.

Kumon: It's nothing, good job in your seminar today! I'm in an unfamiliar place, so I was a bit nervous waiting by myself....!

Tsuzuru: It's a holiday today, so there aren't that many people around. It might be the opposite next time you come, though.

Kumon: Taichi-san sent me a photo of my nii-chan eating in the cafeteria though, so in a way it feels like a familiar sight!

Tsuzuru: So that's what he was doing.....

Tsuzuru: Anyways, you're hungry right? You can order here.

Tsuzuru: Looks like today's daily special is..... "Braised Pork Meal Set"

Kumon: Braised pork!? Looks super delicious! I'll take one of those!

Tsuzuru: With this menu lineup, it's like they foresaw Kumon's arrival. I guess I'll just go with meal set A.

------------------

Tsuzuru: Well, here we go, thank you for the food.

Kumon: Thank you for the food!

Kumon: ----! This braised meat is super yummy!

Tsuzuru: Haha, well that's a relief.

Tsuzuru: Oh yeah, how was your seminar?

Kumon: It was more fun than I thought! But more than anything, it started to really dawn on me that I'm going to be attending this school soon, so I started to feel reallyyyy excited!

Kumon: I'm super duper excited to experience campus life with my nii-chan of course, but I'm also looking forward to experiencing it with Tsuzuru-san, Tenma-san, and Taichi-san too!

Tsuzuru: I'm looking forward to you joining Yosei too.

Tsuzuru: I can give you some class materials for any of the classes I've taken before you, and if you have any worries such as choosing which classes to take, you can always ask me for advice.

Kumon: Thank you! I'll be in your care!

Kumon: AH, that's right. There's something I'd like to ask you straight away.

Tsuzuru: What is it?

Kumon: What kind of writing utensils do you use?

Tsuzuru: Writing utensils? At university I just use the normal mechanical pencils..... what seems to be the problem?

Kumon: Up until now, I've just been using pens with stuff like characters or mascots on them without much thought.

Kumon: I thought that it might be a little childish even though I'm becoming a university student.

Kumon: You like simple designs right? Maybe I should get things with those types of designs too.

Tsuzuru: I see. I never really cared about it that much though.

Tsuzuru: Now that you mention it, I have a lot of friends that use pens with character or hobby-oriented designs.

Kumon: Wait really!?

Tsuzuru: Yeah. I think you should just use the pens you like, Kumon.

Tsuzuru: Surprisingly, people around you don't seem to care.

Kumon: I see.... Yeah, thank you, Tsuzuru-san!

Kumon: With that being said, this braised pork meal set is truly delicious~!

Tsuzuru: Haha, it looks like you've found your favorite menu item right away.

*end flashback*

Tsuzuru: Compared to back then, Kumon has gotten used to Yosei's dining hall.

Kumon: Of course he has! He's an admirable student now isn't he~.

Tsuzuru: ....Once again, happy birthday, Kumon.

Tsuzuru: Well, here's my present to you.

Kumon: Thank you! Can I open it?

Tsuzuru: Sure.

Kumon: Eh!? By any chance, is this a.... ballpoint pen!?

Tsuzuru: I said this back then too, but the most important factor is that Kumon uses the writing utensils that he likes himself.

Tsuzuru: It can serve to commemorate Kumon's birthday celebration and university entrance.

Tsuzuru: I wanted to give you a pen with a simple design that's also easy to write with. I also made sure it was a little fancier and something that you wouldn't buy for yourself.

Tsuzuru: If you ever feel like using it, please do.

Kumon: I'll definitely use it! I'll use it right now!

Kumon: I'm suuuper happy! Thank you, Tsuzuru-san!

Tsuzuru: Haha, it's no problem.

please feel free to let me know if anything is wrong .

A3! Seasonal Event - Anniversary Game: Episode 4

Hisoka: …

Tsuzuru: Thank you very much… Actually, Mikage-san, you’re too good at this.

Izumi: (After Tsuzuru-kun, Kumon-kun and Azami-kun received chess lessons from the others…)

Izumi: (They decided to hold a small competition, because Tsuzuru-kun easily memorized even the most detailed rules, but, well...)

Tsuzuru: I also lost to Chikage-san before this… I’m starting to think you guys aren’t just hobbyists.

Azami: Seriously. Kumon and I have just been watching, but even we can tell you’re strong players.

Chikage: I think I’ve still got a long way to go, though.

Hisoka: Azuma is even stronger than Alice.

Kumon: Really!? I heard Homare-san is really good at chess, though…

Azuma: Fufu, I wonder…

Homare: Hello, hello, everyone! I’ve heard all about it! It seems you are holding chess lessons!

Izumi: Ahaha. Speak of the devil.

Hisoka: So loud…

Homare: What do you mean by that, Hisoka-kun! I came here to offer my help.

Kumon: Homare-san, Homare-san! I want you to teach me how to play!

Azami: Me too.

Homare: Hm, feel free to ask me about anything you may not understand regarding chess!

-

Azami: You okay, Kumon?

Kumon: I’m okay, but… Chess is reeeaally difficult.

Kumon: Just listening to everyone’s chess lectures is giving me a headache!

Azami: I mean, you’re just starting out.

Kumon: True, I’ll do my best!

Kumon: Oh, yeah! There’s a place I want to go with you tomorrow after school…

-

Azami: (I didn’t see that underclassman at school today. What was their deal, anyway…?)

Kumon: Azami, look!

Azami: Hm?

Kumon: Over there, there’s a table where you can play chess! That’s a chess-themed establishment for you~

Azami: Yeah. I bet it’d feel nice to play chess over there on a day with good weather.

Kumon: Right! I’m glad we came to scout out the area beforehand. It'll get us fired up about the event and even help us learn!

Kumon: But where’s the outdoor stage we’re supposed to perform on?

Azami: It’s gotta be somewhere around here.

Azami: (Also… It might be a weekday evening, but there’s not as many people as you’d expect to be here.)

Azami: (Reminds me that Director said the owner has been worried about the lack of visitors lately.)

Visitor: Excuse me, I’d like to see the giant chess…

???: Ah, y-yes. If you go straight ahead from here…

Azami: (Hm? That voice just now…)

???: From there, the giant chess should be on your right hand…

Azami: (That’s them…! Are they a staff member here?)

Azami: (I wanna hear what they have to say, but I don’t wanna interrupt them while they’re working…)

Kumon: Excuuuse me! How do we get to the outdoor stage?

Azami: Ah, hey…!

???: The outdoor stage…? That’s…

???: Oh, Izumida-senpai!?

Kumon: Hm? Azami, you know ‘em?

Azami: Not really. They’re probably a first year.

Azami: But this is good timing. There’s something I gotta ask…  Can I talk to you for a sec?

???: Y-Yes! Um, my part-time job here will be done in a while, so if you could wait till then…

Azami: Got it. I’ll see you later, then.

-

???: I-I’m sorry for keeping you waiting…

Azami: It’s fine, good work.

Kumon: Good work on your part-time job!

Kumon: Azami said you’re a first year at Tsuku High? I’m Kumon Hyodo. I was a student there till last year.

Iwakami: Y-Yes. I’m Iwakami. I work part-time at Chess Garden…

Azami: That’s the first time you tell me your name.

Kumon: Really!? How do you two know each other, anyways?

Azami: He approached me at school the other day, wished me good luck at Chess Garden.

Iwakami: I-I’m really sorry about that!

Iwakami: I’d heard that MANKAI Company might be helping with the anniversary event, so…

Iwakami: I really wanted MANKAI Company to accept, and a classmate told me you’re in the same school.

Iwakami: So, I mustered up my courage to talk to you…

Azami: That so… Well, we’ve decided to accept the proposal.

Iwakami: Y-Yes. So I’ve heard…! I’m really glad!

Iwakami: Now… Chess Garden might not disappear

Azami: Huh?

Event Translation - Spotlight ~Tsukushi High Side~ (Part 5)

Azami: …Go on.

Kumon: Huh?

Azami: Help out. Don't mind me.

Kumon: …Sorry! I'll message you when I'm done!

I'll help out until the next guy's here, let's go!

Classmate A: For real!? Thanks, that's a huge help…! Right, let's hurry.

*running*

Sakoda: ���Azami, do you wanna go round with us?

Azami: …We'll stand out, so no. Plus, shitty Sakyo's here.

Sakyo: What was that?

Azami: …

*LIME notification*

Kumon: Azami, where r u rn? Azami: Roof Kumon: Got it!

Azami: (…Seems pretty lively in the schoolyard.)

*door opens*

Kumon: Azamiii!

I thought for sure you'd be going around with someone, but here you are!

Azami: Too many people, didn't feel like it.

Kumon: But that's the best part of a school festival.

Azami: Anyway, that was quick.

Kumon: The guy in charge later got the message and hurried over to swap out with me.

Thanks for coming earlier too, Azami!

Azami: …It was nothing.

Kumon: When I heard that guy fell ill, it didn't really feel like someone else's problem. It may be for my own satisfaction, but… I wanted to do what I could to help out.

Azami: I figured as much.

Kumon: It sounds like they recovered after some rest though, so that's good.

Looks like we can go around together, Azami!

Azami: …You really need to be so fixated on that?

Kumon: 'Cause this is the first and last time we'll both be able to do it as students of Tsuku High!

Since it's the school festival, don't you wanna make some memories? There'll be no other opportunity for us to enjoy ourselves together like this!

Azami: --.

You're saying embarrassing stuff as usual, huh.

Kumon: Huh!? I'm embarrassing!?

Azami: Not what I said.

Kumon: Anyway, we've gotta hurry! The festival's gonna end at this rate!

Azami: Yeah yeah.

Kumon: Ah, by the way, did you see Muku and the others?

Azami: Yeah. Got to talk to Shift too.

Kumon: What! I would've come if you'd messaged meee!

Presenter: At long last, it's time for the post-festival party! Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest to celebrate this year's successes!

*applause*

Presenter: Now then, let's open with the first years!

Please welcome Team Hostile Beats! Heating up the floor with a stylish rap performance!

Azami: "Listen up, see if you can keep up with our voice and hard dance."

Student A: Ooh~!

Kumon: Go, Azami!

*applause*

Yamaguchi: Kumon, we've gotta go on standby now.

Kumon: Okaaay!

Azami: …

Kumon: Ah, Azami!

I saw you on stage, you were SO cool! I got all pumped up, it was mesmerising~!

Azami: Thanks.

…You're up next, right?

Good luck on your comeback. I'll be watching.

Kumon: …Yeah!

Presenter: As sad as it is to end, next up is our final performance! Let's give a hand for a Tsuku High tradition, the third year's dance performance!

*applause*

Kumon: ♪~

Student A: Whoo~!

Student B: So cool!

Student C: Lookin' good!

*cheering*

Kumon: Haa, haa…

Student A: That was awesome!

Spring 2024: It was a time of activity, it was a time of illness… but ultimately, a time of achievements.

So now, we find ourselves in early 2024. Vev’s 11th bday was more or less a non-event (at his own request) — except for us getting goofy and decorating our house with some salvaged decorations that he shamelessly stole after a work event. They were too perfect for Vev—- Pan Am theme!

(It occurs to me that I didn’t post anything about Dey’s 9th birthday, which was in December 2023. Oops, sorry Dey. Here, let me find a picture. We did celebrate it…somehow 😂)

Ok look - we DID do something. The reason I don’t remember is bc he pretty much tore into those Lego sets and was engrossed in building the entire day. Anyway.

Back to Feb 2024 and onward. The kids had a random half-day of school, and so happened that Dr. Spouse was asked by a local news affiliate to film a news segment on brain health - so I decided to take the kids down to the hospital and get a hands-on lesson on both healthcare and journalism. It was a fun and exciting little field trip!

Somewhere around this time, the kids had their respective Field Days at school. I was room parent for Vev’s room last year along with another friend, so I was heavily involved in organizing his class’ Field Day stuff - but I was on site and cheering for both kids, as was daddice for as much as he could manage.

March rolled in, and alas - minor disaster struck. Vev came down with what we thought was a cold… then he got a fever…and then, he was just very, very sick with flu-like symptoms including HIGH 104+ fevers, severe coughing and respiratory congestion, loss of appetite, and overall misery… for TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT. He missed 10 consecutive days of school and was just miserable for weeks - and we were too. Poor kiddo. I was juggling taking care of Dey, keeping him healthy and getting him off to/from school, along with nursing Vev, escorting him to (nightmarish and fury-inducing) pediatrician appointments (long story), sleeping in his room at night to help him get comfortable, overseeing round the clock meds and nebulizer treatments, and being a go-between for him, his teacher, and the school principal to keep him up to date on work. It was a LOT.

Thankfully, spring break immediately followed his two-week confinement, which gave him more time to recuperate - and even gave us a short getaway to Clearwater Beach for a few days once he was really feeling better.

Soon, it was April, then May. We were busy with lots of activities, including numerous Speech and Debate tournaments, and some medals won! I enjoyed volunteering as a judge for these tournaments. We also took a drive down to Ft. Lauderdale to see one of Vev’s drawings from Art class at school that was featured in a local art show for public school kids.

We had some other ups and downs in this time. Both cars were due for vet checkups….. always a time of hijinks and nerves (more for me than the cats). Pixel in particular had some adventures this year - due to her outstanding behavior 🤪 the vet prescribed her some gabapentin to “help her relax” during her physical exam. She was high as a kite.

An era came to an end. On May 5th, Dr. Spouse’s trusty 2014 Tesla Model S died a sudden and very peaceful (almost suspiciously peaceful) death, parked at the front of the kids’ Kumon center. Though the reality was hard to accept, we soon came to terms that we’d have to trade it in and lease a new car. So we all went to bid a final adieu to Red Flyer, aka “Lightning McQueen,” and welcome home Red Flyer 2.

Then, it was JUNE! And the end of the school year.was upon us. We were VERY proud of Dey for an awesome year at school, and of Vev for completing 5th grade, which in our community is a mini-graduation, as the kids head off to a whole new middle school in the fall!

So! This takes us to June 2024, and the end of the school year. Up next will be a synopsis of Summer 2024, which entailed some exciting travel, a bevy of summer camp adventures, and more. One final thought here - maybe it’s my paranoid mom brain, but I feel like this was a Vev-focused post, and I am concerned it looks like I don’t pay as much attention to Dey. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! Dey is everything, everywhere, all over at once - and even if one wanted to ignore him (which I don’t!) it would be impossible, bc he is a total cartoon, and keeps us laughing nonstop 😜 So I’ll make sure to bump up the Dey content in the next post!

Misumi: …

Kazunari: Huh, where’s Madochin~?

Muku: “After an impartial selection, you have been chosen as the winner. Please accept this prize.”...

Izumi: So this means you won? That’s amazing, Misumi-kun!

Yuki: Of course, a trianglian would enter a campaign like that.

Misumi: Did I really enter~?

Tenma: Anyway, what’d you win? The box looks pretty big.

*Digging through box*

Misumi: I can put this with my other onigiri plushie!

Muku: Are they identical?

Tenma: Oh yeah, I remember seeing one like that back during the bromide photoshoots.

Kazunari: Must’ve been your special bond with onigiri that won you the exact same thing again~.

Misumi: Yeah!

Misumi: …

*Flashback start*

Misumi: Umm, do this here and…

Misumi: It’s done, a paper airplane!

Misumi: I wonder if it’ll fly. Okay… go.

*Paper airplane hits the floor*

Misumi: Ah…

Misumi: (It flew into the room over there. I have to go get it…)

Misumi: Umm, maybe this…

Madoka: Daa… ah~...?

Misumi: (Ah, Madoka…)

Madoka: Ah~, uue~...

Misumi: (Is he trying to pick it up?)

Misumi: …Do you like paper airplanes too, Madoka?

Madoka: Uuu!

Misumi: Ehehe… I thought so.

Misumi’s Mother: --Madoka, don’t pick that up.

Misumi: --!

Misumi: (It’s Mother… I have to hide.)

Misumi’s Mother: I can’t believe he was flying this thing indoors… I’ll have to throw it away later.

“why is the moon following us home?”

I hear my own voice echoed in her’s

Do not let your inner child cry for what you have become

I’m sorry Sarah I still remember

You writing skool is cool in your pink room

Because you wanted to be smart to be good

And learning as fast as you can

You didn’t want to feel that way again, like me now

In high school you should’ve seen, school was

very uncool because you thought

If I’m not smart then what’s the point darling

The point is to show up anyways and learn and

To live life because your sister is going to college

And Naomi and you don’t even argue anymore

How many times will I learn this lesson that

Other people are the reason we have to keep going

But maybe I need to be selfish this once

I’m so sorry I gave up on us, smart or not who

Cares you were enough then without the kumon

Without the AP scores because I was you

So even if I make bad grades, I’m sure you’d cry for

I will keep pushing through to learn for knowledges sake

Not for a teacher or a mothers love because

You are enough now I’m sorry I didn’t take us to college

Or major in something useful or make that song

The one that perfectly described how you felt

I can still make it though

We can play guitar now and piano and we game

Oh and we got glasses funnily enough like you wanted

I don’t know why you wanted to look so smart but it’s okay

It doesn’t matter because you are Sarah

Therefore you are loved

And when I look into these children’s eyes I see you and I give you the biggest hug

I’m sorry I ever stopped aiming high

And I’m sorry you feel like I have to aim high

The truth is I will regret every decision and I will make every decision work

And I don’t even know what choice is right anymore

And the boys are still stupid but Lydia is still your best friend and

That maple tree is still growing and that tree grew just like you

I love you

A3! Hyodo Kumon - Translation [SSR] Afterschool Time for Two (2/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

Kumon: Azaaamiii! Let’s go home!

Azami: ‘Kay, kay.

-pause-

Kumon: Hm, hm~ ♪

Azami: What’s up? You’re in a good mood.

Kumon: Hehe. I was just thinking how you don’t make an annoyed face anymore when I come to your classroom to pick you up!

Azami: You’re bringing that up now?

Kumon: Huh? I mean, back when you first started here…

*flashback starts*

Azami: (*Sigh*. Another day done… It’s sure hard gettin’ used to a new environment.) …Let’s head home.

Classmate A: Huh? Isn’t that an upperclassman?

Classmate B: It looks like he’s waiting for someone?

Classmate C: It’s amazing having an upperclassman pick you up, isn’t it?

Classmate D: Maybe their little brother is here or something?

Azami: Don’t tell me—.

Kumon: Heeey, Azamiiii!

Azami: …

Kumon: Ah, hey there. Homeroom is over, right? I need Azami for a second. Can you call him for me?

Classmate A: Huh? E-errm…

Azami: You dumbass! Don’t stand out so much!

Kumon: Ah! Azami, you finally noticed~.

Azami: *Sigh*… So, what do you want?

Kumon: Ooh yeah! You just started school, so you don’t know the ins and outs around here, right?

Azami: Yeah, I guess.

Kumon: Sooo, I figured I’d guide you around all the different spots here!

Azami: I mean, we don’t have to do that right now…

Kumon: ‘Kay, follow me! Let’s go!

Azami: Are you even listening… geez.

*leaves*

Classmate A: So that upperclassman was Izumida’s friend, huh?

Classmate B: Also, he called his upperclassman by his first name? I guess they’re close. Maybe they’re childhood friends?

Classmate C: That’s the first time I’ve seen Izumida-kun look flustered~.

Classmate D: I thought he looked a little scary at first. But maybe he’s a surprisingly normal guy.

*flashback ends*

Kumon: …And that’s how it went, right?

Azami: I wasn’t against it or anything back then—. How do I put it? I didn’t want to give you a weird image too…

Kumon: Eh, what do you mean?

Azami: No, it’s nothing.

Kumon: Actually, Azami, I was worried whether you’d fit in with your classmates. But seeing that you’re surrounded by friends now, I feel a little relieved.

Azami: Seriously, when did you see that…

Kumon: Like when you’re on your way to your classroom!

Azami: —.

Kumon: *Siiigh*. Anyways, I’m hungry…

Azami: Ahh. That’s because you shared your lunch with me. Sorry ‘bout that.

Kumon: Alright, let’s hop to a restaurant right now!

Azami: Huh? Right now?

Kumon: Yeah, I said I was hungry. I might pass out before we even get to the dorm at this rate~!

Azami: You won’t have room for dinner, y’know?

Kumon: There’s still time until then! It’s fine! Come on! Hurry, hurry!

Azami: *Sigh*… fine.

A3! Translation - Sumeragi Tenma SR 【Piercing Awe】 「Interesting prank item」 (2/2)

━━━━━━━━━

Misumi: Arriveeed~!

Director: Thank you for driving us, Misumi-kun.

Kumon: Going shopping at this time sorta gets your heart beating super fast!

Muku: Yeah, I get that!

Director: I'll go look for some Karekochan* goods, so it'll be okay if everyone else does their own shopping.

Yuki: Then, I'll be checking out the makeup supplies.

Misumi: Let's go find a triangular hat in the party goods section~!

Kumon: Muku, let's go see the fireworks!

Muku: Yeah, let's go!

Kazunari: I'll go see if there are any interesting items too ☆

Tenma: They're as free spirited as ever.....

Director: You can go look at whatever things you like too, Tenma-kun.

Tenma: Nah, I don't have anything in particular, so I'll just follow you around.

Tenma: Looks like the character goods are....on the next floor up.

Tenma: Well, anyways, let's go give it a look.

Director: Yeah!

-------------------------------

Director: It should be around here somewhere......probably.

Director: -----Right there! I'm glad there's still a lot left~!

Tenma: How many are you planning to buy?

Director: Eh? Well this whole box......

Tenma: The whole thing......you're getting all 9 of them!?

Director: Of course! You can never have too many Karekochan goods.

Tenma: You love it that much huh........

Director: If you ever want one too, let me know!

Tenma: I'll pass.

---------------------------

Option 1:

Director: Don't say that!

Tenma: If you can never have too many, then why not make all of them into your own collection?

Director: Well, that's true, but I want to share Karekochan's charm with Tenma-kun.

Tenma: I guess I'll just have to accept the sentiment.

Option 2:

Director: Really? I thought it was a way I could thank you for helping me search for it.....

Tenma: No....it's not like I did anything big, so don't worry about it.

Tenma: I guess now, if I see any of this thing's goods I'll buy them too.

Director: Hehehe, thank you.

--------------------------

Director: Sorry to keep everyone waiting.

Kazunari: Oooh, there they are! Did you find any Karekochan goods?

Director: Yup. Thanks to Tenma-kun who helped me look for them, we were able to get some.

Director: It looks like everyone got what they were looking for too.

Kumon: I got some interesting looking items, so I can't wait to use them~!

Tenma: Interesting looking items?

Misumi: You'll get it soon~.

Director: ?

-----------------------

Igawa: Thank you for your hard work on today's shoot.

Tenma: It's nothing. Thank goodness it was over in a flash.

>> Hyodo Kumon: Tenma-san, what time are you getting back?

>> Sumeragi Tenma: I think we'll be there soon. (Read 5 minutes ago)

Tenma: (It says the message was read but I didn't get a reply. What's that about.......?)

-----------------------------------

Tenma: (In the end, there wasn't any reply from Kumon.....)

Tenma: Huh.......?

Tenma: (Something just fell in front of my eyes----)

Tenma: .......Gyaaa!!

Tenma: Wh-what the hell is a snake doing in a place like this!?

Yuki: .....As expected, your reaction.

Kazunari: Tenten is the best!

Misumi: That snake is a prank toy~!

Tenma: A toy.....?

Muku: I'm sorry, Tenma-kun. I scared you......

Kazunari: We found this snake when we went shopping together the other day.

Tenma: The interesting looking item.....was this snake!?

Misumi: Correct answer~!

Kazunari: I've seen this toy in animal prank videos, and kinda thought it would be fun to try it out on Tenten.

Tenma: I'm a human!

Yuki: I'll make the title something like "We pranked the Sumeragi Tenma!" so it can go viral.

Tenma: No way.... you guys were filming it?

Kazunari: OFC!

Tenma: Hey.....don't EVER post this!

Kazunari: What's the harm~?

Tenma: Oi, Kazunari---

Sakyo: You damn brats....don't make this much noise at this hour!

Kazunari: Uwaa-!?

Misumi: Sooo~oory!

Yuki: ......Sakyo's angry voice ends up the better prank.

prev I

*karekochan is spelled カレ子 which is a play on the word "kare" for "curry" in the first 2 characters and the 2nd character means "child".... so basically like a curry child !
