#and citron would ask if azami would like to play with it and him getting tsun and saying ‘ok only since you asked’

[intomybubble]

ayyy

so i made pokemon teams for a3 like 2 years ago and then i suddenly stopped posting them. tbh i started making teams for ace attorney around the time the great ace attorney released (never ended up posting those) and i burnt out

anyway, i hope to get to posting again this summer and to start i just remembered an addition to chikage’s team with the introduction of gen 9

i think i would probably toss out magnezone from chikage’s team to fit scovillain. i would imagine that it would be a chance of fate for chikage to have an encounter with a pokemon to meet his preferred spice levels and flavor.

scovillian learns a move called “spicy extract” so i dont imagine chikage having to behead this pokemon to add to his meals.

A3! Homepage Lines - Citron's Birthday (2025)

graphics and proofreading by myuntachis! text version under the cut!

Spring Troupe

Sakuya: I found a picture book I think you’ll like, Citron-san! I’ll read it to you.

Masumi: I made a costume for Citron Junior. Why an alpaca? … It just kinda looks like him.

Tsuzuru: Happy b-day, Citron-san. I came up with a manzai routine themed around “birthdays” for today.

Itaru: Happy bappy, Citron~ I am always grateful for you. … This is lowkey taking me back to a certain April Fool’s.

Citron: I am very happy right now. I will sushi that with everyone as well. I’m starting the hug festival!♪

Chikage: This year’s wish is a dance, huh. I’m not sure it’ll live up to Citron’s expectations, but I’ll give it a try.

Summer Troupe

Tenma: I’d like to do a manzai themed play with Citron one day. I guess we’ll need Tsuzuru-san for it too?

Yuki: Citron, let me know when you need a new costume for your manzai. I’ll give you an even better one than what you have now.

Muku: Now, may I have this dance? One, two, three… Dancing the waltz with you is a lot of fun, Citron-sama.

Misumi: I’ll give Citron a triangle dance! I’m starting now, so keep your eyes peeled~

Kazunari: I’ve stocked up on RonRon’s fave sushi candy! I made sure there’s sweet shrimp too☆

Kumon: They’ll be making a movie adaptation of Yankee Star! Let’s go see it together, Citron-san!

Autumn Troupe

Banri: All your wishes sound like stuff high schoolers would ask for. Hahaha, well, it’s cool if that makes ya happy.

Juza: Citron-san told me he wants to do calligraphy with me. Seems he likes my handwriting.

Taichi: I’ve got a karaoke tambourine for you! I got us matching ones, so let’s use ‘em together!

Omi: You want me to record your manzai routine? Of course I don’t mind. You’re getting better and better, you know.

Sakyo: Happy birthday, Citron. You want a trip as your present? That’s fine… You’re goin’ now!? You’re rushin’ way too much.

Azami: Citron-san’s wish is written in this weird code again! It’s always a damn pain to decipher.

Winter Troupe

Tsumugi: Citron-kun, the bulbs you gave me sprouted today. Do you want to come look at them with me?

Tasuku: You wanna go for karaoke? … Citron, you’re better off asking someone who’s not me.

Hisoka: I tried dipping marshmallows in jasmine tea since it’s Citron’s birthday. … Looks yummy.

Homare: The plan for this year is for Citron-kun’s poetry to come together in harmony with my dancing. I shall dance ever so beautifully!

Azuma: I prepared this because I’d like to wear a hakama with you again, Prince. I hope you like it.

Guy: Happy birthday, Citronia. I’m late? … That is because I was waiting for the celebrations to end.

NOTES:

(1) not very obvious in the english translation, but itaru is imitating citron's speech!

A3! Outing Event Translation - You're my first and last love. (11/11 Epilogue)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

Today's Princess

*knock, knock*  

Izumi: …N-Nghh. What time is it right now…  

???: It is morning. Please wake up.  

Izumi: Morning…? (Whew, I slept like a log after the event ended. Come to think of it, I feel like I’ve heard those words somewhere before…)

*door opens*  

Troupe members: Good morning.  

Guy: Were you having a pleasant dream?  

Izumi: Huh!? Ah, yes… um, what…?  

Chikage: My, my. It still looks like you just woke up. Perhaps you should wash your face first?  

Izumi: Ah, right… wait, that’s not the point—.  

Kumon: The weather’s great today, so it’s a great day to go out and play catch! You’ll join me, right?  

Azami: Who would play catch first thing after wakin' up? Ahem… err, would you like rice or bread for breakfast this morning?  

Izumi: U-Uh… I’ll go with bread then.  

Azami: Comin’ right up.  

*leaves*

Izumi: (I’ve had this conversation before…! Which means this is—.)

*knock, knock*

*door opens*  

Summer troupe: Rise and shine.  

Izumi: G-Good morning…!  

Kazunari: Excuse me. Please allow us to help you get ready.  

Yuki: Heh, you’ve got some adorable bedhead. I’ll brush your hair for you, so come over here.  

Misumi: How about this outfit for today? I’ve prepared some trendy triangle patterns.  

Muku: I’ll hang the clothes you’re going to wear on the hanger. Is there anything else you need?  

Izumi: I-I’m good.  

Tenma: Alright, please call us once you’re finished changing.  

Izumi: O-Okay… (Yep, I remember this too…!)  

-pause-  

Sakuya: I see you’re done getting ready. Now then, we’ll guide you to the dining room.  

Itaru: You look wonderful in your outfit.  

Tsuzuru: Right… you look very beautiful.  

Izumi: Thank you? By the way, is this…  

Citron: Please come over here.  

Tsuzuru: Breakfast is ready.  

-pause-  

Sakyo: Thank you for waiting, my lady. Please give me your hand.  

Izumi: !  

Juza: Here’s your seat. …Go ahead.  

Taichi: Today’s breakfast is the chef’s special eggs benedict!  

Omi: As sides, I’ve prepared pickled bell peppers and mushroom potage.  

Izumi: Woah, it looks delicious. What a fancy breakfast…!  

Banri: And we’ve got seasonal fruits over here. I also prepared some jelly—.  

Juza: …  

Banri: Dude. This ain’t for you, got it!  

Taichi: Hold it, hold it! It’s gonna get wrecked!  

Omi: I made some for everyone. We’ll have our share later.  

Sakyo: God, guys…  

Izumi: Ahaha!  

Azuma: What kind of tea would you like? Or would you rather have coffee?  

Izumi: I’m good with tea.  

Tsumugi: Darjeeling, earl grey… we have all of them on hand. We shall prepare whichever you like.  

Homare: Would you like some lemon or milk with that as well?  

Izumi: I’ll take lemon then…  

Tasuku: How about some nilgiri tea that pairs well with lemon?  

Izumi: Err… sure.  

Hisoka: I’ll prepare some special marshmallows that go with it too.  

Homare: We shall pour our hearts into making it. Please do wait a moment.  

Izumi: Thank you very much. Um hey, is all of this…  

Masumi: Today is your very own Princess Day.  

Izumi: Masumi-kun! Yeah, I thought that was what was happening. Why are you all doing Princess Day again though?  

Sakyo: He came up with the idea. He said we couldn’t repay you enough.  

Azami: I can’t believe Masumi-san asked everyone to help out.  

Izumi: Masumi-kun did?  

Masumi: …You said you like all of us, remember? I would’ve liked it to be just the two of us. But I thought you’d be happier receiving thanks from everyone… so I asked them.  

Izumi: Oh, I see. Thank you, Masumi-kun. It was a lot of work, wasn’t it?  

Masumi: Not at all.

Hisoka: Everyone responded immediately, saying it was for Director.  

Misumi: Yeah~! Hisoka responded super quickly too!  

Azuma: And you lent a hand too, Sakyo-kun?  

Sakyo: …Well, I gave him a hard time earlier. Besides, I agree with what he said. You’re helping out for the same reason, aren’t you?  

Azuma: Mhm…? You’re being quite accommodating.  

Sakyo: Oh, shush. …I haven’t lost to that brat yet.  

Azuma: My, my. How childish of you.  

Sakuta: I’m sure everyone feels the same way. We all want to convey our gratitude towards you, Director.  

Izumi: You guys…  

Sakyo: C’mon. There’s still somethin’ Usui has to do.  

Masumi: I was going to even if you didn’t tell me. …Now then, let’s head out, princess. We will take you anywhere you wish.  

Izumi: Fufu, thank you. In that case, where should I go…  

Itaru: Btw, senpai and I will be the ones driving.  

Chikage: That’s the way it is. That’s why we can’t let you two be alone together. No hard feelings, alright?  

Citron: That’s right! All of us are going to serve as Director’s escorts all day today! We won’t let Masumi screech you away!  

Tsuzuru: It’s sneak away!  

Masumi: …I’ll bear with it just for today. I know I can’t prepare a play or surprise by myself, and they wouldn’t make you happy.  

Izumi: Masumi-kun…  

Sakuya: Alright then, let’s decide where to go while we eat breakfast.  

Izumi: Yeah, good plan!  

Masumi: Tell me whatever you’d like. I’ll make all your wishes come true.

Tsuzuru Minagi | [SSR] Dazzling Memory | A Flower Crown for You - Part 2

Citron: I am looking forward to the appreciation party for Tsuzuru’s play!

Tsuzuru: I was planning for everyone to see it, but I never thought you guys would turn it into a whole Spring Troupe watch party like this…

Citron: When I heard that Director gave the video of the play to you, I just could not hate any longer!

Tsuzuru: Wait any longer.

Citron: Exactly! I wanted Spring Troupe to all watch it together, so I gathered everyone here!

Chikage: This is what happens when Citron’s the one asking.

Sakuya: Sorry we all came uninvited.

Masumi: …I was in on it too.

Itaru: Well, since we’re all here, we might as well.

Tsuzuru: …Yeah.

Sakuya: I had heard about it from Tsuzuru-kun and Director, but this is my first time seeing the play, so I’m really excited!

Tsuzuru: Haha, I hope it lives up to your expectations. Well, I’ll play it.

*Beep*

Sakuya: Waah, it’s a story about animals!

Citron: They’re all so cute~!

Chikage: The costumes are so elaborate, and more importantly, the kids seem so lively.

Itaru: Wow, a spark of innocence from Senpai that I thought he had all but lost long ago.

Chikage: Right back at you.

Tsuzuru: I got some advice from Azami and Yuki about the makeup and costumes.

Itaru: I can practically imagine the way Yuki lit up at the mention of animal ears.

Sakuya: Azami-kun also said it was a good learning experience for him, since he doesn’t get many opportunities to do makeup for elementary schoolers!

Masumi: …It’s not too bad.

Itaru: It’s just as interesting as all the other Tsuzuru scripts.

Tsuzuru: Thank you. …I had Mizuno to help me out this time.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: (Huh, I wonder when this café opened? Seems like something Tsukioka-san and Banri would probably know about…)

*Bell rings*

Tsuzuru: …Mizuno?

Mizuno: Tsuzuru-kun…!?

Mizuno: One moment please…!

Tsuzuru: You don’t have to be in such a hurry… Huh, you really carry that around with you all the time…

Mizuno: I try to always have it with me just in case…

Mizuno: Ah…!

Tsuzuru: Hm? What is it?

Mizuno: N-No… It’s nothing.

Tsuzuru: If it’s nothing, then what did you just hide behind your back?

Mizuno! No, that’s, it’s just…

Tsuzuru: …A dandelion bouquet?

Mizuno: Uu…

Mizuno: …This café also happens to be a flower shop. So I bought it just now.

Tsuzuru: Gotcha. It’s pretty.

Mizuno: …Actually, I wanted to give it to you as thanks for the other day.

Tsuzuru: …To me?

Mizuno: I was actually going to have the Director give them to you, but…

Tsuzuru: You can always just give things to me directly. But, can I really have this?

Mizuno: Of course! It’s for you, after all!

Tsuzuru: Thanks.

Tsuzuru: …Seeing a dandelion bouquet still reminds me of the bouquet we made ages ago.

Tsuzuru: I remember practings making dandelion bouquets about a hundred times before my brother’s birthday--.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

*Flashback*

Tsuzuru: Like this…?

Mizuno: Your bouquet is pretty, Tsuzuru-kun!

Tsuzuru: Hey, your’s is nice too, Mizuno.

Tsuzuru: We’re getting better and better at making them, and with the both of us, we should be able to make a pretty bouquet for my brother’s birthday.

Mizuno: I’ll do my best to make an even better bouquet on the day.

Tsuzuru: …Yeah. Mizuno, do you still have some time?

Mizuno: Yeah, I should be okay.

Tsuzuru: Okay, then wait here for a sec.

Their little habits towards you

I was doing these to get some inspiration into my brain and ended up liking the results.

Please enjoy! 💕

🌸 Sakuya has a habit of squeezing your elbow gently to get your attention whenever you’re doing something else. He wasn’t aware until someone mentioned it, making him blush.

🌸 Masumi has a habit of sitting silently next to you while listening to music. Whenever a song he likes pops up, he’ll unconsciusly take off one of his earbuds and place it on your ear, being his way of sharing things he likes.

🌸 Tsuzuru has a habit of rambling to you about details he learns from working on his scripts. If he notices it he usually groans and stops talking altogether, only for you to nudge him affectionately so he keeps going. 

🌸 Citron has a habit of welcoming you with elaborated handshakes even though you two never plan them before-hand. He likes to see your face go from confusion to joy at the mess you make trying to follow his moves with a smile.

🌸 Itaru has a habit of naming or creating characters that resemble you as much as he can whenever he starts a new game. He uses it to test the first levels, sending pictures of said character defeating an enemy, trying garments, or just failing a path over and over to tease you.

“Lol it’s the 3rd time you died today, you okay?”

🌸 Chikage has a habit of subtly tugging you closer to his side whenever it gets too packed. Becomes hyper focused on the possibility of losing you in a crowd- not that he will show it.

-

🔆 Kazunari has a habit of calling you a different nickname almost every day: pumpkin, boo, sunshine… though at this point most of them are a bit of a stretch like art gallery, premium or goals, so you now end up responding to anything that might resemble him talking to you.

🔆 Tenma has a habit of sending a random ‘what are you doing’ or just texting complaints about how much the summer troupe messes with him whenever he misses you and wants to hang out, but is too embarrassed to say it.

🔆 Yuki has a habit of adjusting your clothes. No matter what, even if he’s talking to someone, if he sees you entering from the other side of the room he’ll eventually approach you to take care of your dishevelled shirts, jackets or rearranging your scarf.

“Good. Now you look decent”

🔆 Muku has a habit of calling for you whenever he bumps into things so you can personify them and he can properly apologize. Though it started as a joke from your part, now you can’t help but laugh at how immerse he gets into the conversations.

🔆 Kumon has a habit of playing with your fingers. If you two are sitting together he will definitely end up taking your hand in his at some point and unconsciously give you tiny massages.

🔆 Misumi has a habit of drawing tiny triangles on any paper or notebook you might leave on his sight next to a smiling face. Sometimes when you are visiting Mankai you feel something ticklish on the back of your hand, only to find Misumi drawing a cute triangle on it.

-

🍁 Juza has a habit of waiting for you when you are eating sweets together so that you both eat your last pieces at the same time. You insist he doesn’t have to, but he shrugs. They taste somewhat even sweeter this way.

🍁 Sakyo has a habit of messaging you the first part of a quote to make sure you have arrived at your place. When you reply with the end of the sentence that’s when he relaxes and knows you’re back safe and sound.

🍁 Omi has a habit of feeding you the very first bite of any meal he’s making when you are around, blowing it to cool it down. He likes to see your face light up, chuckling at your weird compliments. 

“What do I get today?”

“Sir Omi, you just established the Empress of all grilled meats”

🍁 Azami has a habit of buying different creams and oils that he finds would be good for your skin. He then will give you pop quizzes from time to time to see if you are effectively following his instructions.

🍁 Taichi has a habit of looking for you before an important performance to exchange fighting poses in silence to hype himself up. The poses tend to get bigger and more extravagant until you both end up giggling so much Sakyo has to grab him to go backstage.  

🍁 Banri has a habit of pinching your cheeks. It doesn’t matter if what you just said is the smartest thing in the world, a weird remark or asked for the weather, his hand will go directly to your cheek in seconds as he answers you.

“Ugh, can you please not?”

“Your fault for havin’ cheeks”

-

❄ Hisoka has a habit of resting his head on your shoulder. It doesn’t matter if you are standing up doing something or talking to someone, he’ll walk towards you and plop his head on it. Sometimes he even follows you when you resume walking and he’s too lazy to lift his head up. 

❄ Tsumugi has a habit of singing happy birthday songs with you to the baby flowers on the courtyard when they bloom for the first time. You proposed it once and now he gets really excited whenever you visit, truly thinking they recognize the sound of your voices.  

❄ Guy has a habit of offering his hand for you to support yourself at all times. When he opens a door and you are behind so you enter first, before sitting or when you are about to stand up. 

❄ Azuma has a habit of drawing shapes on your back. It always makes you shiver and he chuckles, finding it cute. Sometimes he also writes words to which you’ll try to guess the meaning of.

“Wait, what did you just write?”

“Mhm? Ah, I wonder…”

❄ Tasuku has a habit of carrying stuff for you. Whether it’s bags or textbooks, he’ll always grab it for you at some point, sometimes forgetting to give it back and therefore bringing it to Mankai.

❄ Homare has a habit of placing his jacket on you, whether is to keep you from the cold, the rain or just as a comfort blanket if you ever feel upset. He sometimes might not know the right words to say, but hopes his presence and the weigh of his jacket makes you feel protected.

_________________________________________________________

Wishing you all a wonderful day!  💕

[gacha-gremlin]

More Misc. HCs

(Because I’ve been holding onto these for ages and the time is nigh.)

ART TEACHER KAZUNARI. That is all.

Tsuzuru's laptop: "low battery, connect to charger"

Tsuzuru: "if I don't get to sleep, neither do you"

Muku loves when Azami does his makeup. He's shy about it at first, but after a few times he doesn't hesitate so much in offering to be his practice dummy when Azami gets new palettes he wants to try out.

The reason half of fuyugumi's songs sound like 90s boyband shit is bc they're old fucks (affectionate) and absolutely grew up on that shit.

Kazunari doodles kinda elaborate cover designs on the front of his scripts. Others take notice and sometimes ask him to draw on theirs too.

When Citron's particularly annoyed / fed up he'll insult people in Zafran, but keep up a smiling face so most people just assume he's being silly. (Itaru and Tsuzuru suspect. Chikage actually understands, but plays along.)

Citron smiling brightly, in Zafran: "Stuff your sh*t opinions up your *ss where they belong."

Chikage chokes down a laugh, only mostly managing to keep it together.

Sakuya, tilting his head curiously: "What did he say?"

Chikage: "He said that's an excellent sweater you're wearing, Tsuzuru."

Misumi knows really basic handsewing. His grandpa taught him because he believed in things still having worth and value when most people would view them as broken and useless.

Banri to Azami: "Heh, guess we both have a thing for Hyodos."

Azami: ??

Banri: "....Dude."

[thatsaweirdwaytospellundead]

The Enchanting and Beautiful Temptress 2/ 3

Summary: Azuma runs into an old acquaintance and Mankai is invited to dress up as Chinese spirits at a ryokan.

This story references some Chinese mythology and you can read more about them here!

牛頭: Niutou

辟邪: Bixie​​

狐仙: Huxian

Thank you so much to Drop for requesting and sharing this story with me! I hope you like it!

Izumi  

And that’s all the details, what do you guys say?

Kumon 

That sounds so freaking cool!

Kazunari  

A ryokan with a spirit concept sounds based as hell! I’m hyped!

Sakyo 

Yes, it does tickle my interest. The only thing left is to decide who will play the spirits.

Azuma  

Mr. Yamamoto said he wanted to have three in total. They are called Bixie, Huxian, and Niutou.

Citron  

Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice! I don’t get it at all!

Tsuzuru  

Dude, what the hell!? How did this turn into some crazy rhyming game?

Izumi  

So here are some more details about the Chinese spirit theme. First, about Bixie. She is a female Pixiu, “a creature that wards off evil.” Usually depicted with a pair of deer antlers. They say that Bixie helps out those suffering from bad feng shui.

Next is Huxian. Huxian is a fox spirit who has spent many years training in the mountains alone, and it is described as sexy and alluring in appearance. 

And at last, Niutou. Its name is made from the Chinese characters for “ox” and “head.” Just as you would expect, it is a spirit with the head of an ox. Niutou is responsible for collecting the souls of those approaching death so that they can be judged in front of the courts of hell. Sinners are punished, the righteous are rewarded.

Banri  

Okay, after hearing the descriptions, Bixie sounds the most like Azuma, yeah? 

Taichi  

I was thinking the same!

Homare  

Yes, he fits the role like a silk glove!

Tsumugi  

Since Mr. Yamamoto is Azuma’s acquaintance, it only makes sense that he would participate in the event.

Azuma  

Well, since it seems like everyone agrees, I will take the role of Bixie.

Tasuku  

That only leaves Huxian and Niutou.

Chikage  

And you mentioned Mr. Yamamoto also wanted a skilled cook, yes? I think Omi would be good for that part.

Muku 

If Omi is going to help out, I think he would fit as Niutou.

Yuki  

Isn’t that too obvious? Maybe he wants to play a role he’s never done before. It’d be pretty refreshing to see him branch out.

Azami  

Alright, then what do you think about him as Huxian?

Izumi  

Why don’t we ask the man himself? What would you like to do, Omi?

Omi  

Haha, I don’t have any objections. Creating a menu for the ryokan does sound pretty interesting though. 

Guy  

So next we have Niutou.

Tenma  

How about I take that part? 

When I heard about this whole Chinese spirits project, I thought it’d be a great chance to study and expand my horizons. I wanna give it a shot.

Izumi  

Let me think... Since you can’t be out in public, I think we’ll need to confirm the details of your involvement with Mr. Yamamoto.

Azuma 

I could talk to him about it personally.

Izumi  

Yes, please do.

Tenma 

…I knew this was going to be themed after Chinese spirits, but I didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so beautiful.

Omi 

Yeah, it’s even better seeing it in person.

Izumi  

I feel like this place would be scary if you were here alone at night.

Yamamoto

Haha, I’m flattered. I wanted to make it truly immersive.

Azuma  

You two look quite handsome in your costumes. They really suit you.

Omi  

Yeah, you too.

Izumi 

 You guys fit in perfectly!

Azuma  

Fufu, thank you.

Yamamoto  

Alright then, let’s get started right away. I’ll direct you to your posts.

Yukishiro, you’ll lead guests around the ryokan. Fushimi, you’ll be helping out in the kitchen and bringing food to guests.

And for Tenma, who can’t be seen in public, I think you would do a great job with yumomi.

You’ll be in a position where you won’t have to interact with guests too often, plus it’ll be hard to tell who you are in your Niutou costume.

Oh, and when in costume, I think it would be best to change your language a little to make it seem truly immersive.

That would be a nice touch, don’t you think?

I’ll leave it to you how you want to portray your characters.

Omi  

Change our language…

Tenma  

I gotta think about this one.

Azuma  

I look forward to seeing how you guys act out your roles.

Izumi  

Ahh, I guess I’m just tagging along? Is it really okay for me just to stay around the ryokan during all of this?

And here I was thinking you guys invited me to help…

Azuma  

Fufu, it’s fine. You already work so hard, I think it would be best if you just had a rest and enjoyed your stay.

Omi  

I was speaking with one of the waiters earlier. They said that the open air baths have great views. If you get a chance, I think you should really go check them out.

Tenma  

You know it wouldn’t hurt to take a day off once in a while.

Izumi  

Thank you. Well, I guess I should take your suggestions and destress while I’m here.

Azuma  

We’ll see you later.

Izumi  

Good luck, everyone!

To be continued... Read part 3 here!

[katpapple]

Random Autumn Troupe headcanons

Banri

This dude made a TikTok account just to fuck around and shitpost

Also might use it to bully Juza on the odd occasion

Highkey if he played Smash, he'd probably be a Dedede main for the crouch taunt alone. The worst part is he's good at the character, and he's also a gigantic meme with him

His favorite JoJo is probably part 2 Joseph because of his weird yet surprisingly effective battle strategies and witty attitude

One of his favorite things to do at night is to go to random parks with Tenma, Taichi, and Kazunari and just act like total cryptids

When he gets to about 23 or smth he'd probably rock a man bun but like,,, a really messy man bun that gives him this weird laid back disheveled look that just screams, "I may get ample amounts of sleep, but that does not mean I have more than a 12th of a functioning brain cell.

If he played an instrument it'd probably be the bass

Juza

His favorite genres of music would definitely fall under rock but like, he really loves blues rock, alternative rock, punk rock and hard rock. He also surprisingly enjoys some popular country songs like Big Iron(also take me home country roads because he'd have some wholesome songs he likes to listen to)

This man probably sings Whitney Houston at karaoke and slays.

Would definitely take motorbiking lessons from Omi

Weird romance headcanon but I feel like if he were to have a girlfriend, he'd probably have one who's soft and chubby and treats her to sweets on special occasions. He'd also be like,,, super supportive of her changing up her fashion style to boost her confidence a little 😭💖

He would definitely play the guitar. I'd say he'd favor an acoustic guitar!

Would totally look good with a hoodie and half-zip mock neck sweatshirt combo

His favorite Pokémon would be Alcremie because it's cute and it's based off desserts.

His ideal date is just going to different candy stores.

Taichi

His favorite Jojo is Josuke no questions. He loves his style, his personality, everything about him.

Is a fan of punk rock the whole way through. One of his faves is The Ramones

Unironically is a really good breakdancer

Makes really meme worthy TikToks with Kazunari

Would totally be a fan of 3-gatsu no Lion

Convinces Azami to buy heelies. The results are utter chaos

He'd probably love dressing up in clothes that give him a skater punk vibe just because he can

Gets Misumi, Kazunari, Citron, and Banri to pull off a sick dance routine to Snow halation but it's Bakamitai with him

Omi

Would totally look good with an undercut

He definitely enjoys Food Wars because he's a huge fan of watching people cook

I guarantee that he finds cooking channels on YouTube like Hidamari and Chocolate Cacao or others to find cool new recipes to try

If he ever made a TikTok it'd just be dedicated to showing how good he is at cooking

I feel like he, Juza, and Tasuku would become gym buddies later down the line

He'd totally want to travel to different countries just so he can learn about the cuisine

I feel like he'd just randomly ask to get some of the Mankai members to model for some photography

He'd also love taking landscape shots of really pretty locations that have a lot of nature

You know this boy one day is gonna rock the mom jeans

Sakyo

Gets reallly heavy 5'o clock shadows and you cannot tell me otherwise

Surprisingly into yoga

Has a guilty pleasure for rom coms

Enjoys working on those puzzles of gardens and shit, I guarantee it

Views Sakoda as the little brother he never had

If anyone ever picked on Azami or bullied him, I know DAMN WELL this man will go fucking ballistic(but ballistic in the sense that he'd just be quietly seething but you know from his face he is pissed)

Azami

When Taichi made him purchase heelies, he was just completely freaking out and fell quite a lot

Highkey I feel like he'd be a good drummer

Has a soundcloud rap account where he just posts freestyle raps

Totally would apply eyeshadow and eyeliner when he wants to feel really cute(which is everyday because he knows he's a bad bitch)

Loves experimenting with fashion. Like he'd definitely go looking for shops online to find businesses that have clothing lines that are androgynous or gender neutral in general

He'd definitely be skateboard buddies with Taichi

Would be down to go to a skating rink in the winter

He learned breakdancing and hip hop dancing from Taichi and you cannot convince me otherwise

Driving with Mankai (A3! crack headcanon)

So a while back my family and I went on a road trip and while sitting in the passenger seat and listening to all the A3 character songs (EN only) I started daydreaming about what it would be like if the Mankai boys gave you a lift, assuming they could all drive. This is the result.

Spring Troupe

Sakuya: Doing his best. Scraped by with his tests and drives at grandma speeds, but you can’t get mad at him. Has a packet of half-melted party mix lollies in the glove box that he shares with you.

Masumi: Drives too fast with everyone else and too slow with Izumi. If you try and change his music he will not give you a lift again. Does not speak to you the entire time.

Tsuzuru: Drives a beat-up second hand car he got for cheap and somehow always gets stuck in traffic, but you two always have a good convo while waiting for the lights.

Itaru: A relatively normal ride, but if there’s an event on for one of his games, you will be ranking for him while he tries to give you instructions and drive at the same time.

Citron: Nobody knows how he got his license. Will probably regale you with stories about how back home he drove an elephant or something. Wants to spray-paint the sides of his car to say “The Citron-mobile.”

Chikage: he drives a bright green Volkswagen Beetle. Probably ran a red light once. He drives safely with you in the car but you can’t help but feel nervous. Very good at intimidating cops to get out of a ticket.

Summer Troupe

Tenma: He is not the one driving. You’re joining him in the backseat of his family car while Igawa drives and you sip coffee and talk about his times on set.

Yuki: Drives a pink Mini Cooper. Silent the entire ride. If you change his music, he’s kicking you out there and then. Have fun walking.

Muku: Needs lots of positive reassurance while driving. Constantly asking you if the temperature’s alright or if you want to change music. You take him out for ice cream afterwards.

Misumi: Got Kaz to help him cover his car in triangle stickers. Stops at every triangle sign he sees. Very slow trip but still fun.

Kazunari: Surprisingly conservative with his use of stickers and decals. Plays his mixtapes/playlists constantly and takes you to McDonald’s. Accidentally gets a ticket bc he was too busy vibing to notice you’d gone over the speed limit.

Kumon: Tried to deck his car out like a race car with Kaz’s help. Again, nervous driver but he’s doing his best. Has fuzzy dice that look like baseballs. Listens to baseball on the radio and if you try to change it he gets very dejected. Do not change the radio.

Autumn Troupe

Banri: Has a super tricked-out flashy new car with like a touchscreen and everything. Practically cruises along and makes small talk with you while driving. You kind of feel like a celebrity. If only he played something other than shitty club music through the speakers.

Juza: You’re riding on the back of his bike. He’s awkward bc you have to hold onto his waist and he’s touch-starved as fuck so it’s a quiet ride. You pass a sweets store and ask him to stop there to treat him to milkshakes and apologise for the weird ride.

Taichi: Saved up for years to get a cool car (it is cool, but not as over the top as Banri’s). Has a hat monster bobble head on the dashboard and sings along super loud to his favourite songs while driving. You join in- it’s carpool karaoke central there. Gets pulled up for running a red light by accident.

Omi: Also riding on the back of his bike. He’s less awkward than Juza but keeps asking if you’re ok back there. Harasses you about wearing a helmet properly and stops halfway and pulls some scones out that he baked earlier for you to share.

Sakyo: Will begrudgingly give you a lift but only when you really need it. Drives a plain white sedan. Lectures you about whatever reason you needed the lift for the whole while. Secretly hopes you need another one in the future.

Azami: His dad and Sakyo insisted on helping him pick out his car, so he got stuck with a plain black sedan. Blasts his rap music super loud from the speakers and flips off and honks anyone who cuts him off, but generally an unremarkable driver. Will punch you while driving if you change his music.

Winter Troupe

Tsumugi: Has had the same car since university. Got an Elvis CD his grandma lent him stuck in the CD slot and he can’t get it out. Makes lots of small talk to cover up the constant Elvis.

Tasuku: Got the first car he could find, so it isn’t super flashy. Silent the entire car ride since he doesn’t know how to ask you what music you want to listen to. Listens to a soccer match on the radio instead.

Hisoka: Tasuku and Tetsuro installed a marshmallow dispenser in his car. Can stay awake for 10-15 minute trips if you really need him to drive you, but will fall asleep at the wheel after that. Who let him drive.

Homare: His car has heated seats and he always uses the same air freshener brand to keep it smelling nice and the same. Will talk at you and make poems up the entire ride, but buys you a coffee or tea afterwards. Solely listens to the classical station.

Azuma: Probably picked you up late at night after you’d been drinking or partying. Drives a nondescript car and a master of the smooth turn. You end up spilling your guts to him in the passenger seat and he offers to cuddle with you when you get home.

Guy: ???? Fucker probably teleports.

Gay Panic (Juban)

note: here's another one, i think i had like a week straight of juban brainrot so i hope those juban worshippers enjoy this dump.

word count: 1.9k

"The hell're you talking about?"

The troupe leaders held a meeting to discuss a few issues regarding a new collaboration play that they were planning to hold for the director's birthday. They were all in the courtyard, since Izumi was being distracted by Taichi and Kazunari in the lounge with some new app that revolved around mixing and matching different spices to make imaginary curry. Chikage was also there in the lounge, pretending not to care, but the troupe leaders could very clearly see his emerald green eyes wide and intrigued.

"It's pretty obvious if you ask me." Tsumugi chuckled lightly, taking a sip from his cup of tea before setting it back down on the table.

"Even you, Tsumugi? I really ain't got the slightest clue about what you guys are on about." Banri huffed in his seat, puffing his cheeks and crossing his arms.

"Dude, you're so obvious it's kinda sad." Tenma laughed, mocking the blond.

"Shut up, you." Banri growled, ashamed.

"W-Well, Banri-kun, I don't think you should be bashful about it." Sakuya spoke up, fiddling with the zipper of his jacket. "No one's really going to act weird about it if you have feelings for Juza-kun."

Banri stood up, slamming his hands on the table. "I do NOT have feelings for Hyodo!"

Sakuya cowered a bit, "Sorry!"

Banri sighed, sitting back down. "No, it's fine. Sorry for raising my voice. It's just, how the hell did you guys even reach the conclusion that I liked Hyodo? I hate his guts."

"That's what they all say," Tenma teased, biting into the scone that Omi had prepared for them earlier.

"The hell does that even mean?"

"Well, I think it's because you don't really get to see yourself the way we see you." Tsumugi answered, putting a hand on his chin. "It's like, you just have your own perspective where you think you hate Juza, but your actions and your body language really says otherwise."

Banri looked up to Tsumugi as someone who was actually intelligent, so he had to consider what he said. But that was stupid. He couldn't possibly have stupid feelings for stupid Hyodo, right?

Speaking of the devil.

"Hey, um, sorry to interrupt," The troupe leaders turned to see Juza emerging from the lounge. He had a blush on his cheeks, and Banri nearly slapped himself for thinking that it was kinda cute.

"Oh, you're definitely not interrupting." Tsumugi eyed Banri, noticing how the younger male straightened his posture. "What did you need?"

"If it's not too much trouble, could I ask for... um, some jam? Citron ate the last bit of jam that was in the kitchen and there are still a few scones left." Juza looked shy to ask for the sweets he wanted, which was oddly refreshing. Even Tenma thought that it was cute how big, burly, scary-looking Juza was actually just a softie who liked sweets; Not that he'd ever say that aloud because one, that's embarrassing, and two, Banri might beat the shit out of him.

"Here you go, Juza-kun!" Sakuya handed him the jar of strawberry jam, and Juza's face lit up.

Tenma and Tsumugi's eyes met before they simultaneously looked at Banri, who visibly gulped and shifted in his seat.

"Thanks." Juza took the jar and gave them all light nods (Except for Banri, because why would he?) before he headed back inside.

There was a brief silence before Tenma broke out laughing.

"How can he not see this?!"

"Now, now, Tenma." Tsumugi started, muffling his own laughter with the back of his hand, "We can't really force Banri to understand it yet, because I think he's pretty much completely oblivious to how he acts around Juza."

"How I act around Hyodo?" Banri repeated, confused.

"I think it's pretty cute when Banri-kun gets flustered around Juza-kun!" Sakuya piped up, and Banri wanted to break the chair he was sitting in. Him? Be flustered around Hyodo and his stupid pretty face? That was preposterous and downright- for the lack of a better word- stupid.

"I do NOT get flustered around him!" Banri rebutted, to which the rest of the troupe leaders just laughed.

"Sure you don't."

-

It was the morning after the troupe leaders' meeting, and Banri still couldn't get their words out of his head. Why would he, Banri Settsu, get flustered or embarrassed whenever Juza Hyodo was around? Sure, the first time that Hyodo beat him in a fistfight was pretty embarrassing, but other than that, he couldn't really think of any event or situation that would lead to him being mortified around his rival

"Hng," Banri's attention was snapped back to reality upon hearing the grumbling of his roommate.

"'S fuckin' hot," He heard the male mutter under his breath, and Banri was incredibly confused as to why his face went warm upon hearing Hyodo's raspy and raw morning voice.

Still pretending to be asleep, his eyes shifted to the other side of the room to see Hyodo sitting on his bed and taking off his shirt.

Banri's cerulean eyes went wide and it took him all of his willpower to not throw a fit right then. Sweat made Hyodo's well-built upper body glisten in the glare of the sun rays that peeked through their blinds. It didn't help either that Hyodo was flexing to relax his muscles; His... meaty, toned, and defined muscles.

Banri shook his head.

No fucking way was he admiring Hyodo's athletic and muscular body. No, no. He was just staring because he needed to plan his own workout routine since he'd be hitting the gym soon. Right? Right!

He took the covers off himself and rushed out the room, slamming the door behind him.

"The hell's his problem so early in the morning?" Juza was left confused and shirtless in their room.

-

Banri splashed some cold water on his face and gave himself a cold stare in the mirror.

"Get yourself together, Banri!" He spoke to his reflection.

"What are you even doing?" Banri nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Tenma's voice from the entrance of the bathroom.

"Warn me next time you sneak up on me, will 'ya?"

"Firstly, that would defeat the purpose of me sneaking up on you," Tenma spoke, putting a hand on his hip. "And second, I've been here since you splashed water on your face."

"Ah, whatever." He waved the orange-haired boy off and continued to wash his face, using the new face wash that Azami recommended to him.

"What's got you so worked up this early? On a Saturday, no less." Tenma walked over to the sink next to him and started his own routine.

"Nothing," Came Banri's snappy reply, and he cringed at how rude he sounded. "Ugh, it's just whatever."

Tenma smirked as he rubbed the foam in circles on his cheeks, "Don't tell me it has something to do with Juza."

Banri nearly slipped and fell face first into the sink.

"What the hell made you think that Hyodo's got something to do with it?!"

Tenma shrugged, staring straight at the mirror in front of him. "Lucky guess?"

"Well, today ain't your lucky day." Banri replied curtly before he rinsed his face with cold water.

"If you say so," Tenma chuckled.

"You guys are really going to be the death of me, I swear." Banri began to brush his teeth, glaring at the younger male beside him.

"Right, right."

"Oi," Juza entered the bathroom, still shirtless.

Banri's face turned bright red and he quickly finished brushing his teeth while Juza and Tenma exchanged greetings.

"Why're you shirtless?" Tenma asked, purposefully emphasizing the word 'shirtless' to make fun of Banri.

"'S hot in our room." Juza replied, using a towel to wipe some sweat from his torso.

"Hey, Banri, what do you-"

Banri didn't even wait for whatever Tenma had to say, because he gargled and rushed out of the bathroom immediately.

"What the hell is his problem?" Juza asked Tenma. "He's been like that since this morning."

Tenma had to stifle a laugh, "You're pretty clueless yourself, huh?"

Juza gave him a confused look. Since Tenma didn't seem like he'd give Juza more information, Juza decided to just do his morning routine so he could eat Omi's breakfast as soon as possible.

-

Banri was sitting at the table with his head in his hands.

There was absolutely no way that he found Hyodo attractive. It was just the heat! But still, the heat was no excuse for Hyodo to be walking around shirtless. It was unethical and disgusting, yet Banri had this irritating urge to just go back in the bathroom to gaze at the sight. It was annoying.

"Good morning, Setzer!" Kazunari came rushing in from the lounge.

"D'ya have to be so loud in the morning?" Banri whined, close to banging his head on the table.

"What's got you so bothered so early today, Banri?" Oh, great. Tsumugi just happened to be there too.

"Nothing! I'm not bothered by anything."

"Sure about that?" Tenma emerged from the bathroom with Juza behind him.

For the third time that day, Banri wanted to bury his head in an inanimate object just to inflict pain on himself.

Hyodo was wearing a plain white shirt and gym shorts. Banri didn't know why he was feeling hot at the sight of Hyodo wearing a t-shirt. Maybe because the fabric was flimsy as all hell and his muscles could easily be defined through the thin layer of- was that even a fucking shirt?

"Lookin' smokin', Hyodle! Where you off to?" Kazu greeted him

"Tasuku and I were supposed to hit the gym today. 'S way too hot to be wearing sweats." Juza answered, slicking his hair back.

For the fourth time that day, Banri wanted to smash his head in the table.

"I guess it really is a change of pace to not see you all bundled up and covered." Tsumugi stated, and Juza could only rub the back of his neck.

"It ain't gonna be like this everyday. Sorry if it bothers any of you."

"Oh, I'm sure MOST of us aren't bothered by it, Juza." Tenma chirped, shooting daggers right into Banri's soul.

"The hell're you looking at me like that for?" Banri growled, shooting a glare in their general direction.

"I ain't even looking at you, stupid fox-face." Juza's answer came immediately, and Banri wanted to facepalm because he wasn't even picking a fight with Hyodo this time. Surprising, but there's a first time for everything, right?

"I wasn't even-" Banri went to look at Juza, but soon found himself stumbling over his words.

"AH, FORGET IT!" Banri slammed his hands on the table and ran out to the courtyard so he could release some steam.

"Never know what's going on in that stupid head of his," Juza muttered. The others could only laugh at Juza's obliviousness.

"Did you guys finally let Setzer know about his gay panic?" Kazu grinned at the troupe leaders.

"Not that he'd actually accept it, anyway." Tsumugi chuckled, getting the kettle to prepare some tea.

"I made a bet with Yuki that he's gonna accept it two weeks from now so I'm gonna make sure that Banri acts on that gay panic of his." Tenma looked at Juza, determined.

"...What the hell is a gay panic?"

A3! Magazine Interview Translation - Dengeki Girl's Style April 2018 [Special Interview]

These new members will be making many new memories from now on as fellow theatre mates. We asked the members belonging to each group about their impressions of them. Thank you messages from the new troupe members to their groupmates are also included!!

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

SPRING

Chikage: “The atmosphere in Spring troupe is calm and laid-back. When I’m with you guys, I feel a little drained… Well, maybe this is what you call ‘family’, huh? …By the way, did Citron perhaps mean ‘I’m going to expose you, so prepare yourself’?“

Sakuya: Chikage-san is always so calm… and he really feels like a mature man! We hold a coin toss match every day, and the way he tosses the coin is really cool and stylish too!

Masumi: Chikage is… a spice-aholic. He always adds a huge amount of spicy-looking sauce to his food and just looking at it makes my mouth hurt… I think his tongue is weird. …Well, I’ll only acknowledge his magic trick skills.

Tsuzuru: Chikage-san is a mysterious person, isn’t he? He always has so many different stories to tell, and he speaks really well so I can’t help but listen… But at that point, I’m already being toyed with… I seriously can’t see through his lies at all…

Itaru: Chikage-san after entering the Theatre company is a little different from the impression I got at the office. Well, I can’t speak for others either, and frankly, I have a better impression of the way he is now. That’s because I never thought that that person would… Well, I guess I should keep this a secret just in case.

Citron: Chikage’s so interesting~! He has many different faces, just like Itaru! Which one is the real Chikage… I’m so curious! From here on, with Spring troupe, I’m going to enclose the real Chikage, so repair your shelf!*

SUMMER

Kumon: “Everyone… Thank you…! I can smile so happily when I’m with you guys! I still suck at acting, but I’ll practice super hard! Please take care of me from now on as well!”

Tenma: Kumon really loves Juza-san, huh? I don’t have any siblings, so I don’t understand this whole sibling affection thing… But I’m going to make him come to love acting just as much someday.

Yuki: Kumon’s like a combination of the Classic Delinquent and Muku, with a dash of happy-go-luckiness. At any rate, he’s noisy. But, well, I guess I can praise him for trying his hardest.

Muku: Kyu-chan is a hard worker and he’s really kind. He’s played with me a lot since we were little, and he’s my cousin who I love! From now on, I hope Director-san and everyone from the Company will be able to get along with Kyu-chan even more!

Misumi: Kumon’s a hard worker with an earnest heart! But sometimes he works a little too hard, so I worry~. As his triangle friend, I have to keep a close eye on him!

Kazunari: Kumopi is~ Summer troupe's resident hype man! His smiling face is super duper~ cute, and it makes me feel so much better when we're together~. Kumopi, thanks for joining Summer troupe ♪ let's keep getting along piko ✰

AUTUMN

Azami: “I think the whole gang from Autumn troupe are good guys. …’Cept shitty Sakyo. Ah, but I’ll just say this. Wash your faces more thoroughly and carefully. This is the basics of skin care. I won’t go easy on anyone who skips out.”

Banri: Azami’s a real cheeky guy. Well, it’s kinda fun seein’ Sakyo-san being made fun of though. He’s gotta have a lot of guts if he’s gonna join Autumn troupe, so he might just be the right member for us.

Juza: It looks like he’s gettin’ along well with his fellow rookie Kumon. Azami is close to Kumon in age, and he has his act together, so I’m grateful to him as an older bro too.

Taichi: Until now, I was the youngest one in Autumn troupe, but I’m happy A-chan joined us and it’s like I have another little brother! …Ban-chan told me I look puny and like the younger brother when Azami and I stand together though…

Omi: For some reason… I can’t leave Azami alone and I tend to look after him. Maybe it’s just his rebellious phase, but I think there’s a part of him that’s not very upfront about his feelings. I hope he doesn’t think I’m bothering him…

Sakyo: I’ve known Bon since he was a kid. …He used to be cute, clinging onto me… but how the hell did he grow up to be such a brat? I’m going to re-educate him properly at this Theatre company.

WINTER

Guy: “Objective evaluations are very enlightening. Thank you. My acting is still extremely unrefined… but I hope I can grow with you all, little by little. I will be counting on you all from now on as well.”

Tsumugi: Guy-san has been helping me care for the flower garden. His expression doesn’t change, but his hands that handle the flowers are very gentle and careful. That is also Guy-san’s personality. Let’s start with cultivating the foundation, and continue working carefully in both our acting and gardening.

Tasuku: Guy-san will play the tsukkomi role for Arisugawa and the others in Winter troupe… That’s what I was thinking, but… Well, his attitude towards theatre looks sincere to me. Let’s do our best together from here on out.

Hisoka: Guy is an adult. He’s serious and kind. He doesn’t get mad when I sleep, and he transports me quietly and perfectly. And also… he smells good. That’s why I can sleep peacefully by his side. Thanks for joining Winter troupe.

Homare: I feel a sense of affinity with Guy-san. I, too, understand the difficulty of emotions all too well. It was fate that we would meet this way as members of the Winter troupe… I intend to shoulder his troubles as well.

Azuma: I think Guy is a man really overflowing with adult charm. ...Which reminds me, just how old is Guy? He doesn't feel that different from Sakyo-kun and I... Fufu, where and how do androids check their age?

*Citron originally says "サバいていくからおかき食うネ" (sabaite ikukara okaki kuu ne), which Chikage corrects as "暴いていくからお覚悟ね" (abaite ikukara o kakugo ne)

4th Anniversary The Key To Daydreaming: Opening The Future Door with You - Event Translation

Last part of the 4th anniversary event~

Link to the recording is here: 4th Anniversary OTFDwY

4th Anniversary The Key to Daydreaming: Secret Key / / Spring’s Door / / Autumn’s Door / / Winter’s Door / / Opening the Future Door with You

Disclaimer:

A3! is owned by Liber’s Entertainment

Director:

Phew…

(For some reason, everyone is playing a performance from their roles in the Mixed Performance… What’s actually happening over here?

A new way to practice?

But, I didn’t hear anything about it, they didn’t tell me anything either…)

Manager:

Director~

About the key, have you figured anything about it?

Director:

About that, I still have no idea…

Manager:

There’s still one thing that you haven’t confirmed right?

Director:

Eh? But, I have asked all the rooms--

Manager:

Look, look, it’s over there!

Director:

Over there…?

Manager:

Mankai Theatre!

<Shifts to Mankai Theatre>

Director:

(Hmm, it’s true that I’m not sure whether the key belongs to the theatre or not…

The manager told me to go and check it out anyway, for the time being, I’m going to check around)

Hmm?

It’s written “Unlocked” here as well…

(I thought someone might be careless to  leave the theatre door open, but…)

<Shifts to Theatre>

Director:

…

(Eh? Someone’s inside?)

Excuse me, it’s currently off limit to any non-related personnel--

Hiro:

Speaking of related personnel, I’m one of them.

Zen:

A former one, it is.

Syu:

If you ask which one you are right now, definitely an intruder.

Kasumi:

Sorry!

It’s supposed to be a surprise--

Director:

--

I see, it’s just you guys… I’m glad.

But, what are the 4 of you doing over here?

Zen:

Isuke contacted me, asking me to retrieve a lost item he had found from my place.

I thought I could ask him send it, but he insisted for the 4 of us to come over.

Kasumi:

We settled on Hiro’s off day and we all came here together.

Syu:

A best-selling actor sure is busy.

Hiro:

Syu-san too, it’s just nice that there’s no performance going on right.

Director:

I see.

(I didn’t hear anything about it though…)

Then, that lost item—

!?

(A projector…?

There isn’t supposed to be such thing in the theatre though…)

<End of Chapter 6>

Yukio:

It’s supposed to be the courtyard next--

Hiro:

Good work.

Kasumi:

Congratulations!

Yuzo:

Geez, you’re finally here.

Syu:

You’re here faster than I thought.

Zen:

I thought you wouldn’t be here by today.

Troupe Member A:

Good work!

Troupe Member B:

We’ve been waiting for you!

Yukio:

Perhaps, this is finally the goal?

Hiro:

Yep, that’s it.

Zen:

Come, this is your award.

Yukio:

Woah, what is this?

An all-you-can-eat stew ticket? Alright! I’m so happy.

Hiro:

Oi oi… Are you serious?

Zen:

To be really happy over something that’s supposed to be a joke is…

Syu:

That’s why, I told you.

He’s not worth making fun of.

Yuzo:

Well, I thought this might happen.

Yukio:

Anyway, I didn’t expect to be able to see performances inside the dorm rooms after just picking up a key.

Director:

(It’s the same with my experience today…)

Syu:

Your face when you were opening the doors today was so interesting.

Hiro:

It was so hard for me not to laugh.

Yukio:

I can’t help it.

I was so surprised you know.

Kasumi:

We decided to surprise you to show our gratitude, and for Yukio-san, of course it has to be a performance right.

Zen:

Other than that, something that can make you happy is more or less just stew.

Yuzo:

That’s exactly the case.

Yukio:

Yeah. I was surprised, but everyone made a good performance, I had fun.

I think I cannot be happier as a director, to be able to be surrounded by all these wonderful actors.

Hiro:

That kind of thing, so you finally get it?

Syu:

You’re so slow.

Yukio:

It’s an improvement.

Next year, let’s get the Fleur Award.

I will definitely get everyone to a full bloom.

<Back to Theatre>

Director:

…

Zen:

That’s so nostalgic.

Hiro:

If I’m not wrong, we missed the nomination for the Fleur award, and we decided to encourage him because he was depressed.

Syu:

Kasumi gave a ridiculous name to it right.

Kasumi:

I don’t think it was embarrassing you know…

Hiro:

What was it again?

Kasumi:

It’s “Daydream Party”!

Zen:

… That was so embarrassing.

Hiro:

Daydre… Ugh.

Syu:

I couldn’t say it then, even now I still can’t get it out of my mouth.

Hiro:

A gathering of old men and party, really, you…

Kasumi:

Don’t say such thing…!

Zen:

Well, the plan itself was not a bad idea though.

Hiro:

It was a lot of work somehow.

Syu:

But, I didn’t expect to be shown that again in this kind of place.

Kasumi:

Furthermore, we are the recipient of the surprise this time.

Director:

Actually, it seems like they’re doing the same surprise to me--

Kasumi:

That key…

Syu:

Hmm, it seems that it’s getting carried over from the parent to the child.

Hiro:

Geez, don’t make it a tradition in this troupe.

Kasumi:

Haha, sounds like them all right.

Hiro:

Speaking of which, that means they’re all waiting over there aren’t they.

They’re waiting for Director to come.

Director:

Right.

Zen:

You better go quickly.

Hiro:

They will complain if you’re late.

Director:

Since you’re all here, why don’t we go together?

Syu:

We’ll just be the wet blanket if we come.

Hiro:

Yuzo and Reni also said that they will come over at night, once again, then, everyone will barge in uninvited.

Kasumi:

See, hurry up.

Director:

--Alright!

Kasumi:

…

Manager:

Everyone.

Hiro:

Oh, you’re here. The perpetrator.

Syu:

Anyway, I’m sure you’re the one who taught them about it.

Manager:

No, that’s not the case! It’s just by chance that the newborn leaders found the treasure chest with the tape.

It was locked, but I properly unlocked it--

Syu:

Ah, you were embarrassed because you laughed like an idiot and you sealed it away right.

Zen:

Speaking of which, the lost item that Isuke talked about, is it about this projector?

Hiro:

This, it’s the one we gathered our money for to buy right.

Kasumi:

We did it so all the troupe can use it fairly, it’s that one.

Manager:

Yes. A message from the newborn leaders, “We borrowed it for a little bit. Thank you so much.”

Syu:

Whether it’s by a strange law or just to be admirable…

They could have just use it without our permission.

Zen:

Surely, it was quite expensive, but it’s already old, I have nowhere to use it anymore.

Kasumi:

It’s fine for them to use it right.

Hiro:

But, this is also one of our memories…  For their sake, maybe it’s better for them to try their best and buy a new one of their own…

Zen:

Don’t be stingy.

Syu:

It’s immature.

Hiro:

I, it’s not like I’m being stingy--

Kasumi:

Well, well, I understand.

It’s full of different kind of memories.

Hiro:

… There’s no other choice.

Let’s give it to them because they’re poor.

Manager:

Umm, there’s a continuation of that message…

“We’re grateful to take over it”…

Hiro:

So they’re ready to take it from the beginning!

Geez, what a cheeky bunch.

Syu:

It’s not admirable at all.

Zen:

Well, young people should be like that after all.

Kasumi:

I have to tell everyone to put that much into their performance as well.

Hiro:

You’re right. I’ll charge them the full amount if they don’t get the Fleur award.

Zen:

As I thought, you’re just being stingy.

Hiro:

I’m not stingy! I’m just trying to set off the flames inside them!

Kasumi:

Ahaha.

<End of Chapter 7>

Director:

(I wonder if everyone’s really waiting for me in the courtyard…

I’m a bit nervous, but… I’m excited as well.

I wonder if Dad was feeling like this too back then)

<Shifts to Courtyard>

Director:

…

(There’s no one here…)

--!

Sakuya:

Welcome back, Director!

Tsumugi:

Welcome back.

Banri:

Good work.

Tenma:

You’re faster than I thought.

Taichi:

Good work!

Itaru:

Otsu otsu.

Citron:

Congratulations dayo~!

Chikage:

Welcome back.

Misumi:

Welcome ba~ck!

Banri:

Anyway.

Sakuya:

To “Daydream Party”--

Troupe Members:

Welcome!

Director:

Everyone… When did you prepare all of this?

Kazunari:

We tried our best so we don’t get found out.

Muku:

I thought we wouldn’t be able to make it in time, it was so nerve wracking!

Yuki:

In the end we barely made it though.

Kumon:

I’m glad we made it in time~!

Homare:

Then behold, it’s the long-awaited prize.

Azuma:

To Director who managed to reach the goal safely, we prepared a small gift for you.

Tasuku:

I think you can already make a guess if you watch that video.

Director:

Thank you.

Is it okay to open it now?

Omi:

Of course.

Director:

(Dad got an all-you-can-eat stew ticket, maybe it’s an all-you-can-eat curry ticket…)

…?

This is… spices?

Tsumugi:

Eh, umm, they’re flower seeds…

Sakyo:

I’m sure you were thinking about an all-you-can-eat curry ticket right.

Director:

I mean, well, I thought it’s a continuation from the all-you-can-eat stew ticket.

Omi:

It’s supposed to be that at the beginning.

Azami:

But it’s going to be boring if it’s the same right.

Tsumugi:

We were actually quite lost.

Banri:

The opportunity immediately widens when we try not to stick with curry.

Masumi:

I thought I would be able to put a stamped marriage certificate and a ring inside.

Tsuzuru:

That’s too much!

Itaru:

A game assortment maybe.

Citron:

Itaru’s hard FPS selection~

Tsuzuru:

Director’s definitely not going to be happy you know.

Juza:

I recommended a dessert platter.

Banri:

I told you that we don’t know when Director-chan will come, so they might go bad.

Hisoka:

I wished it was a marshmallow tower.

Tasuku:

That’s just something that you want to eat isn’t it.

Misumi:

I wanted to add triangles inside as well~

Tenma:

Everyone’s saying their own preferences too much.

Chikage:

I also recommended spicy spices.

Tsuzuru:

I thought that would be something that you enjoy as well.

Guy:

In the end, we came to the conclusion that it would be more fun if the content of the treasure box is unpredictable.

Tsumugi:

This seed, we don’t know what kind of flower will bloom from it.

Director:

I see.

In that case, it will be exciting to see it growing before it blooms.

Sakuya:

We watched the video from the first generation, and the adults were laughing as if they’re high school students, it looks like so much fun…

Even when they’re adults, they were able to find companions that they can spend times like that with, I’m sure it was an amazing thing to have.

We were having fun watching them as well, but…

Even though they were aiming for the Fleur award, when I remember that they got separated before it being granted, it became a bit lonely…

Tsumugi:

One day, we might end up walking towards different paths just like that.

Banri:

The possibility is not zero certainly.

Tenma:

That’s why, we will inherit the thoughts and wishes of the first generation, and decided once again, to win the Fleur award one day.

Tsumugi:

The reason that we’re all here today, is all thanks to Director.

Banri:

It’s thanks to Director-chan who broke the door to our heart.

Director:

I, I wonder if I was too forceful…

Tenma:

From now on, towards our future, we need you to stay with us, Director.

Sakuya:

One day, when the seeds finally bloom, I want Director to watch over it.

Director:

Yeah. I will definitely get everyone to a full bloom.

That’s why, let’s aim for the Fleur award together!

<End of Chapter 9>

[sweetsforhikari]

Happy Birthday, Sakuya 🌸

Without you, there won’t be Mankai Company and our story together wouldn’t have begun. In honor of your birthday and the release of your second solo song, please read the letters that I wrote for you about how the troupe members think about you.

a.n. 

I know the format might be weird, but I wrote this addressing Sakuya, so the ‘you’ here refers to Sakuya. I just thought of writing something for him to read so yes, do take note that you need to read everything below as if you’re Sakuya!

Masumi Usui

Your days of taking care of him as a leader, as a friend, as a brother really made an impact to him. Although Masumi never explicitly reciprocated your love, he has grown to listen and respect you. Allowing you to be involved in his business, hugging him, choosing to depend on you, and taking the time to listen to your words are mere proofs of him considering you as part of his family.

Both you and Masumi never really knew what true family should be like, but I’m sure your time together made both of you understand what it meant to have a brother who would stick by your side no matter what.

Tsuzuru Minagi

He has immense faith in you, Sakuya. All the scripts he had written for your role have definitely been adjusted to suit you and you alone. He would have never written a role where he knew you couldn’t perform in.

Without you as the leader, he would also have gone mad dealing with the antiques of the other members. As much as he acts as the mediator, the middle ground of the chaos ensuing in Spring Troupe from time to time, he appreciates your presence as the leader who has grown so much more dependable throughout the years. 

Dare I say, sometimes, he glances at you and smiles softly, proud you as one of his little brothers that he cherishes deeply.

Itaru Chigasaki

Sure, he might view you as a token of gacha luck to bring that SSR home, but you’re definitely more than that. Him accepting his role as the father of Spring Troupe was his way of committing to the found family that he has now. The family that you have established.

Deep down, he’s eternally grateful for your ceaseless attempts to convince him to stay and perform with the troupe during Romeo and Julius. Without you, he wouldn’t have met this group of people with whom he could drop his mask and completely be his true self.

Citron

He enjoys seeing your face light up with wonder and excitement not because he takes pleasure in teasing you, but I believe he wants to preserve that childlike innocence in you as much as possible.

Despite what others might think, I genuinely believe Citron only wants you to feel happy and ignore the negativity and evil that lie in this world. The greatest pleasure in his days has always been to see you smile right after you wake up and before you fall asleep at night. Don’t you think that’s why he enjoys telling you those magical, bombastic, wonderous stories?

Chikage Utsuki

Admittedly, he still enjoys tricking you during your daily coin toss, but he will stop at nothing to ensure you do not need to worry about a thing in life.

After all, you were the first to not give up on him and still saw him favorably (or should I say objectively without any judgment) despite his actions towards Izumi and Mankai in general.

Putting all the other troupe members under the cut so this won’t get too long! 

Tenma Sumeragi

You do know this child actor genius took the audition for Mankai because of you, right? You, who thought your acting was sub-par, turned out to inspire a veteran to face his fears and took that step.

How could Tenma ever thank you properly for that? That’s why as a fellow troupe leader, he would make sure to practice often with you, giving you acting pointers whenever he could. Not to demean you, but to lift you up so both of you can bloom together on stage as equals.

Yuki Rurikawa

He comments about your naivety, but I dare say he actually envies you for it. Being part of the minority and adopting a cynical approach to life proves to be tiring at times. The positive outlook in life despite your background is definitely something that he has considered to adopt at some point in time.

To him, you’re a reminder that being positive is an option. As much as he seems baffled by your innocence, he is part of the crew that does his best to preserve that side of you.

Muku Sakisaka

You two are angels! I can only imagine both of you continue being the precious babies that you are. Muku adores you and definitely considers you one of his precious older brothers.

His enthusiasm is reciprocated with you around and your presence lifts up his spirit as well. You are each other’s healing spirit in a way. Always be there for each other, and just by being together, both of you remind all of us that staying pure is a choice and such sight heals us on a daily basis.

Misumi Ikaruga

He’s off on scavenging triangles for your birthday! Apparently, he heard the cats sang praises about you the other day. As thanks for being his friend and for being kind to the kitties, he’s going to find a special triangle just for you.

Thank you for being so kind and understanding to him, and for becoming his faithful friend, one of his precious treasures in life.

Kazunari Miyoshi

How many times have you appeared in Kazu’s Inste feed, I wonder. He always seem to find joy in sharing what he found that might be of interest to you.

Both of you are expressive so it’s no surprise either when Kazu wants to hear your opinion on anything. Hope you find those times to be exciting. It is after all, quite rare, to find someone to be candid with these days.

Kumon Hyodo

Both of you are quite literally sunshine in human form. At times too bright for some, but that’s why both of you should continue being you.

Even Kumon admits watching you lifts his spirits, can you imagine the influence you have in improving the mood of those around you? Sakuya, as Kumon said, please stay true to yourself and keep being you. Your smile and positivity radiate and I honestly think we all need someone like you in our lives.

Banri Settsu

Don’t feel bad if he lets you borrow his clothes, or if he buys you stuff! It’s his way of letting you know he cares deeply for you. Please don’t think that you’re not worthy of receiving such gifts or even having his company.

If anything, all he wants is to see you all happy with that beaming smile. Keep being the sunshine that you are because I’m sure that’s what Banri wants for you!

Juza Hyodo

The passionate duo; both of you talk about acting a lot and I’m glad you have someone to share your thoughts and passion with.

Juza considers you as a companion of some sort, he seems to always asking you to practice or do etudes together. Just knowing that both of you can support one another in your endeavours is heartwarming. But, please don’t eat too much sweets if you can’t take it. I’m sure Juza would understand.

Taichi Nanao

He likes to try out new things and he’s grateful that you are always open to his idea and agrees to accompany him whenever he tries them out.

Thank you for being a great friend for Taichi, but please make sure that you guys don’t go overboard and hurt yourselves. Wouldn’t want that to happen when you’re having fun, right?

Omi Fushimi

How’s the Neapolitan that he cooked for you today? It must be delicious! All the love and affection he has for you has always been included in his cooking.

Thank you for being the best at helping him out in the kitchen and actually doing the chores. He appreciates it a lot, especially since the dishes don’t clean themselves and with more hands on deck, he is eternally grateful.

Sakyo Furuichi

Both of you really have come along way, from him being doubtful about your potential until today. You did it, Sakuya! You proved him wrong, alright.

I believe you are his reminder to stay true to what your dreams are. In both of your cases, you both want to be an acknowledged actor. What a long way you two have come. Remember that you have the power to prove people wrong with your earnest determination and always remember that you manage to get Sakyo’s approval on your leadership and acting skills! 

Azami Izumida

This kid needs to learn a lot from you and he knows that even though he doesn’t readily admit to it. Being a leader isn’t a walk in the park, he realises that as soon as he meets the other troupe members.

Although both of you come from an entirely different background, with him being rebellious and all, he is bound to understand that being earnest as Sakyo has said, will benefit him in the long run. You are a great example for him to follow, and don’t need to feel the pressure! You’re fine the way you are, and this kid will soon learn so both of you can bloom together!

Tsumugi Tsukioka

I’m pretty sure the cherry blossoms in the courtyard are well taken care of by Tsumugi because it also reminds him of you.

He looks out for you in the smallest ways which you might not have noticed. I’m pretty sure you realise by now that you can talk to him whenever you’re troubled, right? He will listen and he will be grateful he could be an emotional support for you.

Tasuku Takato

Have you been working out a lot with him? I could start seeing those muscle lines on your arms and legs. Keep up the good work!

He cheers you on by always thinking of training menus for you, knowing that your motivation to be stronger is to build your stamina for better endurance while acting. Tasuku might not say anything, but deep down he appreciates you depending on him for such matters. (Don’t tell him I said this, please. He’ll deny it anyway)

Hisoka Mikage

Being in the Christmas play together must have made you guys closer. Hisoka even mentioned how he looks forward to acting with you again.

Your caring nature did not go unnoticed. I believe he even gave you some marshmallows to try? And if that’s not him accepting you as one of his own, I don’t know what is.

Thank you for always looking out for him. He has you to thank for all the times he slept and was protected by the cold weather. 

Homare Arisugawa

I’m curious whether you actually understand Homare when he’s gushing about an inspiration for his poems. But, you always seem to listen intently and take the time to attempt at digesting the verses. 

Homare adores you for that; not everyone can appreciate his poems, he knows that very well, but those who put in the effort to understand his world will always be remembered. And you, Sakuya, are one of them.

Azuma Yukishiro

Being one of the oldest members of the company also meant that witnessing youth in action is always something that he looks out for everyday. This might explain why he’s a bit sad you’re one year older and more mature now.

His wish for you is simply to let you have no worries in life as you experience youth and the splendour it brings. You’re still young, so many doors of opportunities left to open. With that in mind, feel free to embrace your passion and continue pushing forward to reach your dream, Sakuya. He has your back and nothing will ever get in your way anymore.

Guy

Honestly, please convince him that you enjoy Citron’s company. I’m confident that you never once considered Citron to be a nuisance or burden of any sort.

Just know that Guy is at your service for all the trouble that Citron has caused you. And in times of need, he will always be ready to assist you.
