Event | Sanrio characters x A3! | Chapter 8

Citron: Well then, let’s give it our ball at today’s practice again!

Guy: Give it a fall? Why would we want to fall?

Masumi: Not ball or fall, give it our all.

Citron: That! Jeez, Guy is even messing up here too.

Tasuku: There’s a lot of people leaving Puroland, huh.

Azuma: Fufu, everyone’s smiling… Oh?

Child: Waa~ah!

Mother: It’s time to go home now.

Child: No! I don’t wanna go home yet! Uuue~e!

Taichi: I feel you, little guy, I feel you…!

Kazunari: IKR. Leaving a theme park is like waking up from a dream and then being back in reality, it’s re~al sad.

Kumon: If that were me, I’d wanna stay and play more too.

Itaru: That’s def a theme park mood.

Yuki: Someday, it’ll just be a nice memory.

Mother: C’mon, let’s say bye-bye to Kitty-chan and her friends, okay?

Child: No, no, no! I don’t wanna say bye-bye!!

Sakuya: …

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Alright, let’s take a short break.

Omi: Practice is going pretty well. I think we’re getting to a really good point.

Sakyo: Agreed. But there are still areas we can improve on, like blah, blah, blah…

Azami: And it’s started… Every damn time with his stupid long-ass speeches…

Izumi: …Ahaha.

Sakuya: …

Citron: …

Citron: There is something not right with Sakuya today.

Itaru: …You think so too, Citron?

Masumi: …Well, he has been kinda quiet. And he seems kinda out of it.

Izumi: There was nothing wrong with his acting… But something is definitely up.

Chikage: I hope he’s not trying to keep something all to himself.

Tsuzuru: I’ll try and talk to him.

Izumi: Me too!

Tsuzuru: Something up, Sakuya?

Izumi: Is there something on your mind, Sakuya-kun?

Sakuya: Tsuzuru-kun… Director… I was just a little lost in thought.

Sakuya: …Can we really just have a story about having fun?

Tsuzuru: Eh?

Sakuya: …No, it’s nothing! Just pretend you didn’t hear that!

Tsuzuru: …If you need anything, you can always talk to me, okay?

Izumi: (Sakuya-kun… I hope he’s okay.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: …

*Flashback*

Child: No! I don’t wanna go home yet! Uuue~e!

*Flashback end*

Tenma: Sakuya, you coming or not?

Sakuya: !

Sakuya: Sorry! I just spaced out for a bit…

Sakuya: …

Tenma: …

Sakuya: …Tenma-kun.

Tenma: Hm?

Sakuya: Is it really okay just to do a play about having fun?

Sakuya: Just having fun, just smiling… But is that really all there is to it?

Tenma: …Depends on the situation.

Tenma: Like, Summer Troupe specializes in comedies, right? So comedy is the majority of it…

Tenma: Some of our stories are just funny ones about passionate friendship, but some are a little more sad, and make you feel nostalgic.

Tenma: But it all depends on how we want the audience to feel and what we want to put into our plays.

Tenma: And like how Autumn Troupe and Winter Troupe have lots of stories about not being able to be saved. But people still like to come and see those stories.

Sakuya: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

Tenma: People come to watch sad stories that make you cry, or thrilling stories that have you at the edge of your seat…

Tenma: And people come to see stories that are so stupid you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts.

Tenma: So there’s nothing wrong with having a story just about having fun. But it depends on whether or not that’s what you want to convey to the audience.

Sakuya: What kind of story I want to tell… What… I want to convey…

Sakuya: Got it… Thanks, Tenma-kun. I’ll try to think about it.

Tenma: No problem.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Banri: …So how’s somethin’ like that?

Izumi: Sounds good. I’ll check with the staff.

Banri: Thanks.

Banri: Hm? Sakuya?

Banri: You wanna talk to Director-chan? We just finished up our meeting.

Sakuya: I’m not really here for anything in particular…

Sakuya: …

Banri: Is it about the show?

Sakuya: …Eh.

Banri: Figured.

Izumi: Sakuya-kun, you were saying something about it before, right?

Sakuya: …

Sakuya: … I was… Wondering if the story was really good enough.

Sakuya: The show I saw at Puroland brought smiles to all of the audience’s faces.

Sakuya: I’ll never forget that sight. It made me think that I want to do a play like that.

Sakuya: But when I saw a kid crying because they didn’t want to leave, I couldn’t help but wonder.

Sakuya: The more fun you have, the harder the sadness and loneliness hit after the fact.

Sakuya: Adults can understand that, but little kids can only take that sadness and loneliness at face value.

Sakuya: Someday, it'll just be a nice memory, but it’s hard for a little kid to understand things like that now.

Sakuya: Tsuzuru-kun’s story is wonderful. It’s a gentle and fun story that’ll make everyone smile. But…

Sakuya: I really want people to take home the memories of the fun they had as souvenirs. And I just kept thinking about that��

Izumi: …I see.

Sakuya: Tenma-kun asked me what kind of story I wanted to tell. But my thoughts are kinda all over the place, so I still don't have an answer.

Sakuya: Sorry. We’re already pretty far into rehearsals, and now I’m just telling you this.

Banri: You’re really sensitive to this kinda stuff, huh, Sakuya.

Sakuya: Eh.

Banri: I ain’t as nice and good-natured as you. So I never woulda thought about somethin’ like that.

Banri: Guessin’ that’s the perspective of someone who works at a daycare, huh?

Sakuya: Ahaha… I guess so.

Banri: But you should really get better at conveying this stuff to the people around you.

Banri: Even if you can’t figure out the answer yourself, someone else might have the solution.

Banri: You might be able to get more ideas by listenin’ to someone else’s perspective.

Izumi: Yeah, I think so too. …Fufu, Banri-kun pretty much said it all.

Banri: My bad.

Sakuya: …I guess you’re right. Thank you so much, Banri-kun, Director.

Banri: No problem.

Banri: I mean, it ain’t easy talkin’ about something that’s supposed to make everyone in the audience smile.

Sakuya: …Ah.

Banri: Well, ya gotta have pretty high aspirations to do it.

Izumi: I think it’s a wonderful objective to have.

Sakuya: …Yeah.

[primeministerofantarctica]

Scratching under your door do you have any batmankai thoughts

"I still think this is a bad idea."

"Aw, come on, Sakyo," Izumi leaned over the armrest and poked him, grinning. "It's only a few weeks in the most crime-ridden city in the world! What could possibly go wrong?"

Banri's head popped up from the seat in front of them, holding his cell phone aloft. "It says here that Gotham's murder rate is three times the national average."

"Right," Sakyo narrowed his eyes and directed his gaze across the aisle and a few rows up, where Chikage was typing on a laptop. "Remind me why Utsuki chose this destination for our company vacation."

He'd sworn he'd muttered it, but Chikage paused, turned around, and smirked.

"Um, because this is your last chance to see that Phantom of The Opera show before it closes and vacation homes in New Jersey are dirt cheap?" Izumi offered.

Sakyo sighed.

"Hey now," Izumi leaned into his shoulder. "I'm sure nothing too bad will happen! Those murders are only 'cause of the wack-job villains running around, so as long as we play it safe we should be fine."

"I bet I could take Two-Face."

"Shut up, Settsu," Juza yawned and mumbled with his eyes closed.

"Besides," she kissed his cheek, "Gotham's supposed to have that Batman guy and other heroes too, right?"

x

"Now when reading Oedipus Rex from a modern perspective, it's easy to read Oedipus as having no free will of his own. However, it's important to analyze the actions he took that did lead to the prophecy becoming..."

Omi bit back a yawn. Go on vacation, sure. Hey, here's a free week-long lecture series about Ancient Greek theatre, sure. Why not. But would it have killed them to not host the lectures at 7 am?

Then the door slammed open, and he was immediately jolted out of his thoughts.

Six foot something. Definitive muscle. Dark curls with a dyed white streak. Omi was halfway through scanning his arms for tattoos before remembering oh, yeah, this is America, and then, more importantly, realizing that new guy had finished talking to the lecturer and was now sitting right next to him.

"Hey," he said under his breath, because it never killed anyone to be polite.

New guy glanced over at him quickly. His eyes were weirdly green, almost like acid. "Hey," he muttered back.

And that was how Omi's week went. The guy - Omi had introduced himself to him, but when asked for his name the guy had hesitated briefly before saying "Peter", so he took that answer with a grain of salt. (Not that he blamed him. He'd be paranoid as hell if he lived here too.) - always arrived a few minutes late and was quick to leave once it was over. He always came in bloody, too, like he'd just got back from a bar fight. A split lip, a black eye, a cut above his brow that matched the other scars on his face. The other students didn't make a big deal out of it. Maybe it wasn't a big deal to them.

Omi slid a bento box across the bench two days in. The guy blinked in surprise, but accepted it nonetheless.

Five minutes later, his hand shot up. The lecturer stopped. "Yes?"

"First of all, Medea was totally justified in killing Glauce, and Jason was a fucking bitch who totally deserved everything he had coming to him- ."

On Thursday, the guy put a tupperware container of snickerdoodle cookies in front of Omi and nodded, like they'd just completed a secret deal.

"You do photography?" It was more of an observation than a question, as he stared at Omi's camera bag (he was planning to go out and photograph the campus after this, just to preserve the memories).

"Yeah. Are you interested?"

He shook his head. "My..." he paused "...stepbrother's into that stuff."

"Really? That's cool. Do you think he'd mind if I asked to see some of his pictures?"

"Dunno," he shrugged. "We don't really talk much."

"Oh." Omi could read the room well enough to change the subject. "Your hair's pretty cool. How often do you have to dye it?"

"S'not dyed."

"That's...natural?"

The other guy chewed the inside of his cheek and looked away. "...No."

On Friday, he wordlessly passed a stack of photographs over to Omi. City skylines. Urban closeups. A girl with dark hair posing in a black leotard.

"Your stepbrother's pretty good."

"Don't tell him that," he huffed, but there was a small smile on his face.

Dick's feet landed on the rooftop with a thud. He didn't even have time to congratulate himself on the landing - perfectly executed backflip on four inches of steel beam fifteen stories up, thank you very much - before he was immediately off again, chasing after the guy who had just taken some super-expensive gemstone from the history museum. Like, straight out of the glass case in the middle of the night! Who even did that?

Okay, a lot of people, Dick internally corrected as he parkoured down a fire escape. But at least those people had the mind to wear ski masks.

Now the guy had stopped.

"Are we done?" Dick asked. He hated chasing criminals. Running wasn't an issue, he could do that for hours and not break a sweat, but it was so boring. He'd rather be fighting them head-on so they could at least hear his quippy (and necessary, fuck off B) commentary.

"Are you?" The other guy spun around on his heels. "Okay, then. That was fun!"

It only takes him a second to recognize the last sentence as Japanese, and then another to thank his lucky stars for once that Bruce had been a paranoid bastard that insisted he learn the language "just in case".

("Just in case of what, B? You think I'm going to run into trouble in Tokyo or something?")

(He did, but that was besides the point.)

"Yeah, sure." Dick put his hand on his hip. "Look, I don't want any problems, so why don't we just head on back to the museum and I'll pretend this didn't happen. Capiche?"

"Can I keep the triangle?"

"The triangle?"

He held up the gemstone. Dick squinted - now that he was looking at it, it was vaguely triangular. He didn't see why that was important, though. Unless....

His eyes narrowed. "Don't tell me you're a new villain whose shtick is triangle-related crimes." And he thought Condiment King was bad.

The guy laughed. "I could be!" He skipped over until he was right in front of Dick. "Do you have any triangles for me~?"

Dick racked his brain. "I'll buy you a bag of Doritos if you put the gemstone back."

"Deal!" he beamed. "Race you back to the museum?"

It took ten minutes to put the gem back in it's case, and another five for Dick to hack into the security system to erase any evidence. (Oracle would still see it, but at least the employed guards would be none the wiser.) He bought the guy a bag of spicy Doritos from the 7/11 too, just as promised.

"Well, that was fun. Do me a favor and get your weird compulsions fulfilled legally next time, please." He stretched and reached for his grappling hook, ready to take off now that the situation was more or less handled.

"Wait!"

Dick froze and looked back. "Yeah?"

The guy was flipping through his backpack and mumbling. "I know I packed it I know it's in here where is it where - aha!" He pulled out a scrap of paper and pen triumphantly.

"Can you sign this for me, please? My roomie's a big fan of Nightwing and I promised him I'd get your autograph."

Dick stared at the paper for a few seconds before laughing. "Sure, sure." He signed the paper with a flourish and handed it back over. "You know, there's easier ways to get my attention, kid."

"Maybe," he grinned. "But this way was more fun."

Muku had done everything right once they were in Gotham. He didn't go out after dark. He didn't go out without a buddy. He stayed away from the windows and didn't talk to strangers, not even the person who delivered their pizzas, because any of them could be the Joker in disguise and he'd end up dead in a ditch in New Jersey of all places.

So why was he, now, in a dark alley surrounded by three towering grown men glaring and cracking their knuckles?

It didn't matter why, he just was. All alone, in the middle of the night, about to get murdered.

The first man grabbed his arm. Muku dropped his bag and screamed.

Five blocks away, Tim put his hamburger down. "That doesn't sound good."

It took less than a minute for him to grapple across the rooftops and swing down into the alley that Babs had pointed him to - three suspects from the trafficking ring Jason had been going after versus one high school kid. The odds were not good. He landed in the alley, staff at the ready. And stopped.

"Uh..."

A kid with pink curls and tear tracks down his face startled. "Oh! You...you're one of those heros, right? Um, Robin?"

"Red Robin. Close." He collapsed his staff and put it back in its receptacle. "So, what, uh..." he looked at the three very unconscious traffickers, "happened here, exactly?"

Pink kid started crying again. "I-I went to the store to get Motrin because my friend was cramping and forgot to pack any meds and I thought it would be okay to walk five minutes to the store because I'm an eggplant-brained idiot who doesn't think at all-"

He was rambling now. Tim put his hand up. "Whoa hey, it's okay! I hear enough self-depreciation at home, thank you very much." He jabbed his thumb over to the men. One of them groaned. Pink kid yelped and kicked him reflexively.

"What about those guys?"

Pink kid sniffled and wiped a hand across his nose. "I took a self-defense class."

"...Right."

Tim handed over a kleenex and picked the bottle of Motrin up from the ground. "The seal's unbroken, so it's still good. You want me to walk you home?"

"I-I don't want to be any trouble...."

"Hey, you said your place is only a few minutes away, right?"

"Um, yeah, it's two streets down."

"Then it's no trouble at all."

Muku wiped his eyes and smiled. And sure, maybe he could take out three men by himself, but something about the red and black-clad hero walking next to him just made him feel safe. Like a knight, or a prince, or-

He wondered if Veludo Way was in the market for superheroes.

[lemystical-puffle]

A3! Isekai AU Character roles

okay okay last post on this I swear (I don’t swear)

with help from the lovely @a3shitposter, We now have the main cast.

The Au consists of mainly Autumn troupe + Izumi, with some NPC’s. This may change in the future

keep in mind the characters general personalities are still the same, this is just AU background

Izumi Tachibana: The protagonist. Was just a patron at a restaurant in Vuledo Way before dying in an armed robbery. Was reborn as the Queen of the kingdom (insert some random kingdom name here) of mother of the story’s main love interest. In the original story, the parents die when the child turns 5 which becomes a big turning point in his life and helps him become the edgy protagonist all self inserts love. Currently has all memories of her past life and believes the best way for her to live is to stay without child

Sakyo Furuichi: Another protagonist, he was just going to watch a stage play where he ran into his former childhood best friend and first crush Izumi, and the two went to dinner to catch up and died trying to protect her during the previously mentioned armed robbery. Was reincarnated as Izumi’s husband, King of unnamed kingdom, and the future father of the protagonist. However, after his reincarnation he lost all memories of his previous life, and had them replaced with newly formed memories to fit his new surroundings. As far as he is concerned, he and Izumi have been married for 4 years now, and man does he want a child *See my Sakyo finds domesticity sexy* post*. 

Banri Settsu: Head knight, earned the title completely on accident and now flaunts it whenever he has the chance. Like everyone else, he had been reincarnated during the robbery. He had actually been right outside the building trying to pick a fight with Juza who just wanted something to eat, and ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. He usually abuses his power by using his title as an excuse to eavesdrop on whatever drama is going on with Juza, and makes a lot of comedic commentary. Doesn’t have memories.

Juza Hyodo: Juza is the straight man to the Juban comedy duo, he being another knight who usually sticks with Banri to keep him out of trouble. He blackmails Banri a lot, threatening to tell their employer, or just spill to Sakyo, what Banri has been doing but stays quiet in exchange for Banri making snack runs for him. He’s overall just done with everyones crap. Doesn’t have memories but can faintly remember the idea of having a younger brother, and will flinch whenever he hears someone call him “big brother.” Oh also Banri x Juza is heavily implied

Omi Fushimi: Omi had been working part time at the restaurant to raise money for a new camera when he ended up in the same situation as everyone else. He works as a chef in the castle and spends his time off with Taichi, just chatting and getting that hot gossip *tm* until it’s time to get working again. He is still a total mom though, after many times comforting a distressed Izumi and caring for Taichi. Just like everyone else, he has no memories of his past life.

Taichi Nanao: Taichi Nanao was, just like the others, at the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up dying and reincarnated as a butler in training. Why was he a butler? Cause he become a butler? Because of the faint memory of high school girls simping over stoic edgy dark haired butler characters (it’s me, I’m girls). That said, he isn’t very good at his job. He always barges in during awkward of emotional moments on accident and is overall just a comedic wreck, but we still love him. He loves hanging around Banri and Juza and seeing them banter, or avoiding work by hiding in the kitchen and talking to Omi.

Azami Izumida: Azami enters the story halfway through, dying in a way unrelated to everyone else. But what is he revived as? The prince that Izumi and Sakyo were meant to give birth too. Azami had first been reincarnated as just some poor homeless child, but still has all of his memories of his past life (making him and Izumi the only ones with memories). Sakyo finds Azami and seeing him sparks something in his mind and he feels compelled to take Azami in and raise him. Azami only goes with because he’s in this strange world and Sakyo is the only person he somewhat recognizes. Izumi flips out because all the work she had put in not not dying seemed to have gone down the drain, and she and Azami team up to work together and keep anyone from dying and get home (keep in mind she didn’t know Azami prior. He introduced himself to her). Azami and Sakyo’s relationship mirrors the one they currently have. He really doesn’t want to be some edgy love interest, so he spends most of his time arguing with Sakyo about he doesn’t want to be hecking adopted, while Sakyo is just “You’re going to let me hecking love you or so help me I will murder someone.”

-Thats all!!! Thank you for reading! I really really love this AU and I am so happy that you all seem to love it too! I may hold off on posting about it though because I won’t want to overkill it and have people lose interest or only expect this content from me, but we’ll just see what happens! :), again, if you have anything to add, this is a completely open AU and I absolutely love anything anyone contributes to it!-

[omirice]

in his recent backstage, omi is going on a trip together with juza and tasuku. omi asked izumi if she could go with them and she should ride on his bike but izumi had important business so omi said he'll ask her next time...

rough tl: do you want to go with me, kantoku? if its okay, behind me that is

this wouldve been the second time since they already rode together on his sunset bayside ssr

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

omi also baked muffins to make up for not bringing home souvenirs

he tried to feed izumi the muffins then said he's joking (again)

rough tl: if you want, i can feed them directly to you. here, ahhhh.

Event | Sanrio characters x A3! | EP: Letters of Promise

Izumi: There’s a lot of letters today.

Izumi: Hmm, this one's for me, this one’s for Azuma-san, this is an announcement from the shopping district. And then…

Izumi: T-These are…!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Guys! Some letters from Kitty-chan and the others just came!

Kazunari: Eh, for realsies!?

Misumi: Waah, read them, read them~!

Kitty’s Letter: “To everyone from MANKAI Company. It was a lot of fun acting with you.”

Kitty’s Letter: “I’d love to see more of your stories! Someday, I’d like to go to MANKAI Theater to see one of your performances.”

Sakuya: Kitty-chan… Fufu, I had fun too.

Chikage: Who’s the one you’re holding from, Masumi?

Masumi: …Kuromi.

Citron: Oh? What did she write?

Kuromi’s Letter: “How are you guys doing?”

Kuromi’s Letter: “Well, the story was great and the play was super~ fun, so I can get why My Melo feels like that!”

Kuromi’s Letter: “Next time, I’m gonna invite My Melo to perform too. Of course, I’ll be acting with her too ♪”

Masumi: …She’s just adding more actors on her own.

Itaru: That’s assuming we even do a second run at all.

Tsuzuru: But when you put it like that, it makes me kinda want to do another one.

Yuki: Tenma, who's yours from?

Tenma: Ah, um… Daniel.

Daniel’s Letter: “Thanks for performing with us! I was wondering if the play would turn out good with so many new people…”

Daniel’s Letter: “But everyone from Summer Troupe and the rest of MANKAI Company welcomed us so warmly, so I feel like we created something really good.”

Daniel’s Letter: “Next time you visit, we’ll make sure to introduce you to more of our friends.”

Kazunari: Ahaha, that’s so Daniel!

Kumon: Right! I thought he was so gentlemanly and cool when I first met him!

Misumi: This one’s from Cogimyun!

Cogimyun’s Letter: “The play… Was very fun myun…♪”

Cogimyun’s Letter: “Becoming friends with all of you became one of Cogimyun’s treasures myun…”

Cogimyun’s Letter: “Can we meet again myun…? I can’t wait to play with everyone again…♪”

Muku: My memories from the rehearsals and performance are like treasures too.

Misumi: We’ve gotta go back to play with Cogimyun some time~.

Kazunari: Then should we like… Make a plan to go back ASAP!?

Muku: Waah, yeah!

Kumon: Yeah, yeah! When should we go? Tenma-san’s next vacation?

Yuki: Quit jumping the gun.

Tenma: Well… I’ll check my schedule.

Taichi: Uwoah! This letter’s from Purin!

Purin’s Letter: “How is everyone~?”

Purin’s Letter: “I did some dessert research with my friends for when I see you all next ♪ So let’s have a pudding party next time.”

Purin’s Letter: “Oh, and I wanna know everyone’s favorite desserts. Ehehe, just imagine how fun it’ll be~♪”

Juza: …Pudding party.

Taichi: Juza-san looks like he’s about to drool just thinking about it!

Banri: Seriously. It ain’t supposed to be a personal letter.

Omi: A pudding party sounds great.

Azami: Yeah, I mean, he did mention it during rehearsals.

Sakyo: I mean… He did say he likes to eat.

Taichi: Yeah! I love to eat too! Let’s go, pudding party!

Omi: Haha, yeah. I’ll learn some new recipes for it.

Juza: Leave the taste testing to me. I’ll definitely help make somethin’ that Purin’ll like.

Banri: Like hell you’ll help make it! …You just wanna eat.

Tsumugi: This one is from Cinnamon-kun.

Cinnamon’s Letter: “The play was really fun~! I told all my friends about that day ♪”

Cinnamon’s Letter: “They all seemed really interested in everyone’s performance!”

Cinnamon’s Letter: “They wanna do a musical together someday. And I wanna try to do one too ♪”

Tsumugi: Ahaha, I’m glad.

Tasuku: Huh, so they’re interested in musicals.

Homare: Oho, I’d love to take on that challenge as well.

Hisoka: I wanna eat cinnamon rolls again.

Azuma: Fufu, of course.

Hisoka: Cinnamon told me that the terrace seats at the café are perfect for sunbathing. I wanna take a nap with him.

Guy: We still have lots to do with Cinnamon and the others.

Izumi: (…Everyone is smiling so nicely.)

Izumi: (I’m sure that what we gained from the performance that day will be a cherished memory for all of us.)

Izumi: (…I hope we can see all of the Sanrio characters again some time.)

If Only | A3! (one-sided Itaru/Izumi, Sakyo/Izumi)

This story plot suddenly just cannonballed into my head while I was listening to Shintarou Asanuma’s cover of “So Close” from Disney’s Enchanted. For those of you who don’t know, he is Itaru’s Japanese voice actor! I really do love AsaShin’s singing voice, and he seriously just knocks it out of the ballpark with this song. I’m just heartbroken forever now, and the lyrics made me cry, so here I am with an angsty story that no one asked for, hahaha!

Because of the way I envisioned this story, it felt most right if I wrote it in present tense. However, this style of writing is definitely something out of my comfort zone and I can’t remember the last time I tried writing in the present tense. So, I’ll apologize in advance if I make your eyes bleed with my terrible grammar and any unintentional switching to the past tense (especially since I don’t write with a beta)!!

IF ONLY

CHARACTERS: Itaru Chigasaki, Izumi Tachibana, Sakyo Furuichi

PAIRINGS: unrequited Itaru/Izumi, Sakyo/Izumi

My fanfic masterpost: Here

AO3: Link in my Blog Menu

Itaru finds himself in an unfamiliar situation: on the sidelines of a blaring dance floor. He has attended many weddings in his lifetime – he was at that age, after all, as his parents often remind him – but, he can count on one hand how many wedding after-parties he has bothered to join. Actually, he didn’t even need one whole hand. One experience was enough for him to have his fill of plastering on a fake face and dealing with obnoxious drunk people – especially drunk women trying to get into his bed. Not to mention, he would lose out on his precious free time.

However, there was no way he could get out of this particular after-party. After all, it is the Mankai Company-exclusive after-party for Izumi and Sakyo’s wedding. Or was it the after-after-party? Did the impromptu karaoke session thrown together by Banri and Tenma count as an after-party? Regardless, much to Itaru’s misery, skipping out on the current celebrations is not an option – according to Tsuzuru, anyway.

Nibbling half-heartedly on one of the finger sandwiches that Omi had prepared, Itaru lounges casually at one of the cocktail tables. A beautiful bouquet of flowers sits upon the pristine tablecloth – lovingly hand made by Tsumugi, of course – but his eyes spare them no glance. Instead, his gaze is glued on Izumi’s slender figure as she sways her hips on the dance floor, surrounded by a gaggle of the younger Mankai Company members. They cheer her on as she clutches the skirt of her floor-length white dress, whirling around with abandon. Her smile flashes brighter than the tacky disco ball suspended from the ceiling, and Itaru is unable to look away.

Suddenly, the dance music fades out and the mood in the ballroom completely changes as the DJ – Sakoda, because his services are free – starts playing a mellower tune.

Picking up his glass, Itaru throws back the rest of his drink, feeling the alcohol burn a hot trail down his throat. There was no way he was going to get through this evening sober. He clunks down the empty glass and vaguely registers Sakoda loudly announcing that it was about time that the boss gets his butt on the dance floor already.

The young salaryman absentmindedly shoves another sandwich into his mouth as he watches Sakyo being pulled from his seat at a nearby table and shoved into the centre of the rented hall by Taichi and Misumi. The bespectacled man stumbles as he nearly trips on one of the table legs, and Izumi catches him in her arms as the two young men laugh rather than help.

After Sakyo regains his footing, the newlywed couple wrap their arms around each other to the cheers of the audience and they begin swaying to the tune of a slow, romantic song. The usual hard expression on Sakyo’s face softens as he looks down lovingly at his bride, and the smile that Izumi returns is blinding.

Itaru tears his eyes away. He doesn’t know why he still feels bothered. Did he not literally witness those lovey-dovey faces all day as they had been exchanging vows, giving their speeches at the reception, and cutting the wedding cake? Maybe the alcohol was exacerbating it, but the remaining sandwich in his mouth suddenly tastes like sand and he feels sick to his stomach. He wants to run away, wants to get away from the awful feelings wrapping their fingers around his chest and squeezing his heart painfully.

But, as usual, he doesn’t do anything. Just like the countless other instances in the past years. How many times had the voice in his head shut him down when he wanted to reach out to her, only to freeze and pull away?

‘Why bother – you’re not good enough, anyway,’ the voice lamented.

‘You’re just useless gamer trash – you’ll never be able to give her what she deserves,’ the voice sneered.

‘Why compete with him – he’s better than you in every way,’ the voice demanded.

He has long lost count.

Itaru is drawn out of his thoughts by loud whooping and wolf whistles. Turning his head to the source of the attention, he sees Azuma confidently step onto the dance floor while flicking his ponytail over his shoulder. Moments later, the long-haired man gracefully steals Izumi away from her groom with a wink. Even though the lighting in the room is dim, Itaru can just make out Sakyo rolling his eyes as he steps aside, but not without a good-natured smirk on his lips.

Izumi giggles with delight as Azuma leads her across the dance floor. Before long, the professional cuddler’s actions start a chain reaction. Kazunari swoops in shortly after with a cheeky grin to enjoy his turn with Izumi before he twirls her away to – a very drunk, Itaru notes – Tasuku. The director is nearly crushed by his burly body when he fails to keep his feet under him, but Citron rescues her and begins spinning her around the dance floor. Izumi’s laughter rings in Itaru’s ears as she continues to waltz through a succession of more Mankai Company men.

And, then, suddenly, Izumi is standing in front of him, and her hand is on his wrist.

“Dance with me, Itaru,” she requests – no, commands – and tugs lightly on his arm with a big, innocent smile and flushed cheeks.

In any other situation, his rejection would be instantaneous. He doesn’t dance – can’t dance. Izumi knows this, too, considering the countless number of times he has trampled on her toes during practices.He knows he should turn her down, because nothing good can come of this.

Maybe, he could use Masumi as an excuse – the young man was slumped over on one of the tables, dead to the world. He could say that he was taking Masumi home to rest (and mope) in his bed instead. But, something about Izumi always makes his brain short-circuit and he can’t bring himself to say ‘no’.

Still in a daze, he lets her pull him onto the dance floor. It’s not until he feels one of her hands settle on his shoulder and her other hand clasp around his own, that it really hits him.

An intense surge of emotions wrenches through his gut and he wants to throw up. His mind is a tornado of competing, conflicting thoughts, threatening to rip him apart from the inside. He feels a telltale prickling behind his eyes and he bites down so hard on the inside of his cheek that he can taste blood.

Hide it, he screams at himself. SMILE, damn it.

So, he does. Except, it’s not the smile he means to give – the princely, aloof smile that deflects everything. Instead, he gives Izumi a smile he has hidden for years. The one that he only permits himself to give her in his dreams.

Itaru wants to kick himself – wants to stab his own traitorous heart – because, in his moment of weakness, he is succumbing to the escapist habit he has depended on since childhood. However, this time, instead of imagining himself as Lancelot, as he often did in his youth, he imagines that he is… hers. Imagines that this is their dance. Imagines that he is the one that said ‘I do’ at the altar. Imagines that he can make this beautiful woman, in her pure white dress, happy – for it was this woman that gave him a place to belong and he can’t imagine being anywhere else but by her side.

And, in that moment, Itaru is the happiest he has ever been and he wishes he could keep holding her hand forever. Maybe, this moment could have been real–

If only he didn’t always just decide to give up, then maybe he could have said ‘I’m serious’ instead of ‘I’m just joking.’

If only he was brave enough, then maybe he could have returned her embrace, instead of wrenching himself away.

If only he could hate himself less, then maybe he could have told her: ‘Choose me.’

If only this dream would never end.

If only–

But, he hears the melody beginning to slow down…

Not yet.

… and the last notes of the song fade away.

Please.

Then, their feet come to a halt, and Itaru wakes up.

“Thanks, Itaru! You’ve made me so happy!” she exclaims with a smile that burns its image into his eyes.

And, despite the irrational part of his mind screaming at him to keep hold of her hand, he just gives her a smile – a real one, because he loves her – and gently plants a kiss to the back of her hand before he lets her go.

It took me a long time and many late nights of fiddling around before I was satisfied with this, so hopefully my words got through and you were all able to the fruits of my labour!

I would also highly recommend you all to take a listen to AsaShin’s cover of “So Close” if you can (it’s from the Disney Koe no Ouji-sama Voice Stars Dream Selection II album). There is also the original Japanese version on YouTube with subtitles last I checked as well. Ultimately, this story was a culmination of my feelings and thoughts as I listened to that song.

Anyway, thank you again for reading and feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts or any constructive criticism!! If you enjoyed, please reblog~

Day 5- Outside Work

Kazunari was dragging an excited Misumi and a scowling Masumi to a public bath.

“Come on! The others are already waiting!”

“Will there be triangles, Kazu-kun?”

“Yes there is! The bathtub in this bath was extraordinary! They are in triangle shapes!”

“Triangles~triangles~”

“I don’t want to go there..unless Izumi is inside too”

“You can’t take a bath with a girl too!”

“I can...I’m her-”

He cut his own words.

Kazunari sighed.

He has no problem being Misumi’s courrier. Masumi on the other hand was much much more a problem. Ever since the day Izumi actually introduced Tetsuro, the backstage staff, as her boyfriend, Masumi was in a depressed state.

Unexpectedly, Sakyo the residence yakuza was also heart broken. In fact, he was more depressed than Masumi. But he was better now in his new relationship with Omi. The college student had confessed to having fallen in love with the older since the first time they met.

After Tsuzuru brought Masumi’s problem in surface, Taichi have the idea of bathing together. He talked about the Autumn Troupe’s day of bathing together and how it deepen their relationship.

Since the dorm’s bath was not enough to contain 20 males, they decided to rent a public bath for two hours, courtesy of Summer Troupe biggest funder.

Although Masumi was a pain in the arse, Kazunari couldn’t help but be happy. A long time ago he was still an insecure child, afraid of being left by his friends. Now here he was, being his extra self and still considered as part of the Mankai Family.

Outside their work, nobody could guess the bond between actors. They could pretend to be friend, family, lovers on stage. Not many could have real family inside and outside the stage, unlike them in Mankai Family.

“Oi, blondie..what are you stopping for?”

Kazunari bursted out of his bubble to face Masumi.

“Kazu okay? Here, have a triangle”

Misumi asked, his teal orbs full of worry, and handed him an onigiri.

“You will be happier with triangle~”

“Who would be happy, you idiot”

Kazunari smiled. Definitely noticable by his friends.

“See? Kazu loves triangle~”

Masumi clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“Whatever..let’s just get this over with. Are you coming?”

Kazunari ran to follow them.

“Hai hai!!”

A3! Event Story Translation “SSR Family” [ Chapter 1 ]

Everyone talks about what they plan to do next.

*flashback*

Itaru

Is my voice on stream?

Let’s see, today I’ll be playing “KniRoun”

(0 viewers...... well, alright. I’ll do a dry run for today)

——.

(The views increased to 1...... this means someone is watching, right?)

(A-anyway, let’s get started)

Nomin

“GG on streaming~”

Itaru

“GG...... what’s that?”

Nomin

“You must be a noob. It means ‘Good job on broadcasting.’”

Itaru

Ah, got it. Thanks......

(Seems like some scary guy’s here.)

*flashback over*

Izumi

Akashi-kun, Rento-san,

Thank you as always!

Thanks to the two of you, our sound and lighting drastically improved and was well received by the audience.

Banri

It really broadened the scope of our production, it’s been an eye opener for me in a lotta ways.

Akashi

I should be the thankful one... This troupe is full of colorful people... s’been a lot of fun.

Taichi

Our music were bangers too!

Omi

It feels good that everything’s in place as they should be.

Kumon

Yeah yeah. The timing and all’s perfect!

Rento

The actors in this troupe already know what they want to do. I just match up the energy with how they feel and put the magic right in.

Masumi

I liked the BGM for the space police.

Rento

Yeah, ya musta loved that part!

Masumi

Mhm.

Matsukawa

The BGM guitar for ANIMS was also cool~

Rento

Hh, a word from the lord...... I'm seriously shaking right now.

Kumon

Rento-san's dynamic with the manager is amusing.

Kazunari

He really respects you, Sukechi~

Juza

The lighting changed for each group, it was great.

Akashi

Hhh, I, ah, I’m sorry!

Rento

Apologizing and for what. You’re too scared!

Izumi

He’s still not used to Juza-kun.

Juza

Something wrong......

Akashi

I-I'm sorry......

Tsumugi

Akashi-kun's lighting sure is impressive.

Tasuku

It’s effective for the more sober scenes.

Homare

I feel your great attention to detail from deep within.

Akashi

T-thank you so much......

Tsumugi

You’ll continue working with us, right?

Rento

Yup, that’s the plan.

Akashi

I-I look forward to working with you.

Rento You’ve got the Special Fleur Award and gained public traction now, what’s your next move?

Izumi

Now that we’re in the spotlight, we plan to put out performances by each troupe to show the unique charm of MANKAI Company.

Tsuzuru

It’s hard to keep performing with a full cast all the time.

Sakyo

The most distinctive feature MANKAI Company holds is the spring, summer, autumn and winter performances of each troupe. It’d be best for us to go back to our roots.

Izumi

So, we’ll do the usual thing and put out the 8th Spring performance.

Sakyo

Also steadily set on paying off the theater repair debt.

Matsukawa

Aah~ We’re living in the laps of debt again~…...

Rento

Spring troupe. Have you guys decided on a lead yet?

Sakuya

In terms of order, we were wondering if it should be Itaru-san or Tsuzuru-kun...

Itaru

I decided to give it a go.

Yuki

Aren’t you usually the unmotivated one?

Itaru

Actually, the long-awaited KniRoun X is gonna be released soon.

I’m gonna use a lot of my paid leave for play streams, so I won’t be able to attend rehearsals for a while, so I thought it’d be better to play the lead while I still can.

Yuki

So you weren’t even motivated in the first place.

Tsuzuru

The motive screams Itaru-san alright.

Chikage

Come to think of it, did you tell the others about it?

Itaru

Aah, right.

Izumi

?

Itaru

I’m gonna do some long-endurance streaming soon, room 103’s gonna be off-limits by then.

I’m about to celebrate the 7th anniversary, every year I do a long-endurance streaming sesh to commemorate it.

Tsuzuru

How long will it take?

Itaru

I’m planning on skipping a bunch of sub-events and stuff, but it’s gonna be pretty hard this time. I’m planning to speedrun it, so it might take up 20 hours more or less normally.

Taichi

20 hours!? You’re gonna play it for 20 hours straight!?

Izumi

What are you gonna do in the meantime, Chikage-san?

Itaru

I’m planning to adjust it to senpai’s business trip schedule.

Tenma

Who goes through all that trouble......

Itaru

I’m also celebrating the soon-to-be release of KniRoun X, I’m really hyped for it.

Sakuya

Which version of KniRoun will you play?

Itaru

I haven’t decided yet, it’s the 7th anniversary, so it’s either KniRoun VII or the most recent one, KniRoun IX......

Izumi

A lot of fans are gonna look forward to the stream of «Taruchi»

Akashi

Eh!?

T-Taruchi....... You mean the game streamer Taruchi......?

I-Itaru-san is Taruchi......? Well, now that you mention it, his voice is......

Izumi

You know him?

Akashi

Oh, um, I enjoy watching vids from the internet, I often watch video game livestreams......

I’ve been following V-tubers* recently, and Taruchi is famous for his KniRoun speedruns......

No way...... I never thought I’d see the real thing in such a place.......

Tsuzuru

Sounds like worship.

Sakuya

By the way, what’s a V-tuber?

Citron

A V-tuber is a streamer who uses a virtual avatar to perform a variety of activities on streaming sites!

There are many popular V-tubers who play games, sing, and even appear on TV nowadays!

Sakuya

Heh, really?

Tsuzuru

Citron-san sure knows his stuff.

Akashi

The latest technology is so amazing and advanced that it can track musical instrument performances in real time and linking it to images in virtual space......

With the avatar projected on the actual live venue, they can also do augmented reality lives......

Rento

Heh! Sounds interesting. I wanna watch it.

Akashi

I’ll dm you the URL of the video on LIME later.

Rento

As you should.

Izumi

(At first, I was worried if Akashi-kun and Rento-san would clash personality-wise...... but I’m glad to see they’re getting along just fine.)

Citron

My favorite V-tuber these days is Mochi Otoko!

Akashi

Oh, I like them too. I also like YO-KAN.

Itaru

Oh, they’re good. Their game commentary is interesting.

Citron

I also want to make my debut as a V-tuber! I can sing and dance just fine!

Itaru

Citron you’re already funny talking normally, so you’ll be popular in no time.

Izumi

(V-tubers huh. There’re so many different worlds now.)

*bell rings*

Guy

Welcome.

Yukio

Sorry I’m late

Izumi

D-dad!

Itaru

Did you just arrive?

Yukio

Yup, I came straight from the airport.

Masumi

Would you like a drink?

Yukio

Hmm, I think I’ll have a beer, then.

Sakuya

How long are you going to stay this time around?

Yukio

My work over there’s already taken care of, so I’ll be here for a while.

Masumi

Here’s a hand towel.

Tsuzuru

He’s been moving briskly for a while now.

Citron

Masumi, you are crying too hard!

Chikage

Trying?

Yukio

Ahaha, thanks.

Masumi

No, can I call you father-in-law?

Sakyo

Too soon!

Rento

Yukio-san, from the first gen MANKAI Company?

Akashi

Oh, um...... I’m grateful to you for having grandpa under your care.

Yukio

I’ve been indebted to Serizawa-san for a long time. I loved his delicate work.

How is Serizawa-san?

Akashi

He retired from actively working...... he still likes the stage and often goes to see performances.

Yukio

I see. I’ll go say hi to him next time.

Sakyo

That’s right, Serizawa-san's lighting was a sight to see.

Yukio

Oh, Sakyo-kun, what’re you drinking?

Sakyo

It’s sake.

Yukio

You sure are an adult now.

Sakyo

You’re calling someone over 30 an adult...... I’m already a legit old man here.

Yukio

Eh, Sakyo-kun so you’re an old man now?

But not long ago you were so small, and now we can drink together like this, it’s kind of emotional.

Sakyo

Well, I’m also glad that Yukio-san was able to come over like this.

Izumi

He’ll be going back and forth between America for a while.

Yukio

That’s right. I’ll definitely go see the performances of the newborn MANKAI Company in the future. Have you made a decision on what to do next?

Sakuya

We’ll be doing a performance for Spring troupe!

Yukio

Is that so. I’m looking forward to it.

Izumi

(I’ve been through a lot up to this point, but I’m glad I can see dad casually like this now.)

Itaru

Hmm...... it’s the 7th anniversary, I wanna do something different than usual for this one.

*phone rings*

Itaru Hm?

(Incoming call: Great Demon King)

Itaru
