Tsuzuru Minagi | [SSR] MANKAI Feature | Today’s Star: Merlin - Part 1

Tsuzuru: Haah…

Tsuzuru: (Just what am I gonna do…)

Tsuzuru: (My spin-off project…!)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

*Flashback*

Tsuzuru: Huh!? What do you mean Merlin won for the spin-off project…!?

Izumi: Actually, we didn’t even put Merlin as an option on the survey, but he was still the most requested.

Izumi: I’m inclined to go ahead with doing Merlin if we can, but because of copyrights, we can’t do it just based on our own decision…

Tsuzuru: Well, it’s just not even realistic…

Citron: Even so, I think Merlin would be good! We must respect everyone’s feelings.

Izumi: Right… I’ll see what we can do about it.

*Flashback end*

Tsuzuru: (--Tch, I spent so long just thinking about it that I’m already here.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: (Guess I ended up leaving too early for my part-time job today because it’s my first time going there.)

Tsuzuru: (I’ll just go to a nearby café to kill some time.)

Tsuzuru: (Hm…? Over there, is that…)

Tsuzuru: Hey, Mizuno.

Mizuno: T-Tsuzuru-kun!?

Tsuzuru: Same as usual, huh. Are you in the middle of work right now, Mizuno?

Mizuno: Y-Yes, I am. I have a meeting with someone I’ve never met before, so I thought I’d give myself plenty of time to get there, but I ended up arriving too early.

Tsuzuru: Haha, same here.

Tsuzuru: Why don’t we kill some time at that café over there? If you want to, of--.

Mizuno: I’d love to!

Tonooka: …

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: Anyway, what a coincidence for us to run into each other like this.

Mizuno: …

Tsuzuru: Mizuno? You good?

Mizuno: I may be… slightly not okay.

Tsuzuru: Jeez.

*Shop bell rings*

Tonooka: Mind if I sit next to you?

Tsuzuru: Ah, sure… wait, what!?

Mizuno: Is this an acquaintance of yours, Tsuzuru-kun?

Tsuzuru: No, well, I mean, we are acquainted, but…

Tonooka: My apologies. Here’s my business card.

Mizuno: Thank you so much. Tonooka-san, correct?

Mizuno: As for me… I’m Kaya Mizuno of MIZUNO Enterprises.

Tonooka: Pleased to meet you.

Tonooka: MIZUNO Enterprises… huh.

Tonooka: What kind of relationship do you two have?

Tsuzuru: I guess you could call us… childhood friends.

Mizuno: I-I’m just a fan of his…

Tsuzuru: You’re still saying that?

Tonooka: I see…

Tsuzuru: (I mean, I guess while he’s here… it couldn’t hurt to try asking him about it.)

Tsuzuru: Um… I actually have a quick question for you, Tonooka-san.

Tonooka: Oh, what kind of question?

Tsuzuru: Actually, right now, we’re talking about staging a spin-off story about Merlin for our fan-voted spin-off project.

Tsuzuru: But, we obviously can’t just do that by ourselves.

Tsuzuru: But if we got an okay from Hoshii-san, then…

Tonooka: …

Tonooka: I see… Hoshii seems to have been much more open to media mixes after the KniRoun stageplay.

Tonooka: If I talk with him, I might be able to work things out for you.

Tsuzuru: Huh, you mean…

Tonooka: However, if you’re going to do it, you have to take it seriously. And I’d be interested in seeing the spin-off as well.

Tsuzuru: Thank you…!

Tonooka: However, there is one other condition you must accept. If you have no problems with that, then I’ll begin the discussions.

Tsuzuru: That is…?

Tonooka: I’d like for the spin-off to be distributed through the cooperation of MIZUNO Enterprises. Do we have a deal?

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 13: Budding Spring - Episode 14: The New RomiJuli

Masumi: (I have to go to Building A for the next lecture…)

Masumi: ?

Masumi: (“Recruiting participants for a summer internship”... Though most people who participate in this kind of thing are third years.)

[Flashback starts]

Misaki: “Is this something you should be taking so leisurely? Students who take it seriously have their eyes set on an internship the moment they enroll.”

[Flashback ends]

Masumi: …

Masumi: (Our company’s name is in the list of companies with past success…)

Masumi: (Come to think of it, the company’s got a promotion department. If I go there, maybe I can learn things that will be of help to the Director.)

Masumi: (If I ask Father, he’ll probably let me participate, but…)

[Flashback starts]

Izumi: I appreciate the offer, but this requires a certain kind of knowledge. Right now, I’d rather you focus on yourself and the Spring Troupe, rather than me.

[Flashback ends]

Masumi: …

Mizuno: Please excuse me.

Mizuno: Oh?

Masumi: Ah…

Mizuno: Hello. So you’re a student at Fuyou University.

Masumi: Why are you at the Career Center?

Mizuno: Our company will also be accepting internships this year. I was in a meeting about that.

Masumi: Why are you doing that?

Mizuno: I want to gain as much experience as possible while I’m still young, so I poke around various departments.

Mizuno: It’d be rather troubling if I took over the company and knew next to nothing.

Masumi: … Is that something you absolutely have to do right now? Even if it takes up your free time as a university student?

Mizuno: It’s not that I absolutely have to do it. I’ve just always had an interest in this to begin with.

Mizuno: But I’m glad to be doing it, because this way I’m of help to people important to me.

Masumi: … I see.

Mizuno: It seems like it’s been difficult for theater companies, too, what with the announcement of the New Fleur Award.

Mizuno: If there is any way I can be of help, please let me know any time.

Masumi: Sure... Ah, Tsuzuru’s script writing is going smoothly. He’s more enthusiastic than usual, and he’s not pushing himself too hard.

Mizuno: Eh?

Masumi: I’m repaying you for answering my questions.

Mizuno: Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to your next play.

Masumi: (Since Tsuzuru’s progress is going well, I’m sure it’s about time…)

-

Tsuzuru: … How is it?

Izumi: … Yes, it’s good! It feels like a new RomiJuli!

Izumi: I hadn’t even considered this while thinking of how the sequel would turn out.

Izumi: What I like most is that Sakuya-kun, Masumi-kun and Chikage-san–

Sakuya: We all have two roles!?

Sakuya: This is the first time I play two leading roles, it seems very rewarding!

Masumi: We absolutely wouldn’t have been able to do this during our debut.

Izumi: Right. It’s got a very ‘we can only do this because we got this far’ feel to it.

Itaru: So the amount of characters has increased accordingly because the stage features both Verona’s present and past?

Chikage: Looks like I’m in charge of connecting the past and the present. That’s quite the responsibility.

Sakuya: It suits you very much, in a way!

Izumi: That’s certainly true.

Citron: I’m happy my lines have increased~!

Itaru: The two who ran away coming back all grown is a heartwarming classic.

Tsuzuru: This is my first time writing a sequel, so I wasn’t sure how to go about it, but I felt like it should be something that addresses the root of the problem.

Tsuzuru: I thought the most Spring Troupe-like resolution would be for the two to return from their trip and have their big happy ending.

Izumi: I agree, I think this is a very Spring Troupe-like RomiJuli, let’s hurry and bind a few copies and—

Tsuzuru: Ah, no… I’d like to adjust it while watching the practice, so could I ask you to wait?

Izumi: Then, let’s not print a full script today. Let’s make it so that Tsuzuru-kun can adjust it until he’s satisfied.

Masumi: Isn’t that a good thing. Both Sakuya and Tsuzuru can work flexibly because of who they are now.

Tsuzuru: You don’t have to emphasize the “because of who they are now”.

Sakuya: Ahaha, that’s true.

Tsuzuru: But, well, I’ll accept your praise.

Izumi: (It looks like they’ve finally gone back to normal.)

Izumi: (They were so conscious of the New Fleur Award’s ranking system that it was making them nervous, so I’m glad.)

Izumi: (I hope our preparations continue smoothly…)

[fea-therlight221]

Not that I don't get it but why are none of the Tsuzuru fans (in-game) ever normal about him. Syu's the only OG leader who doesn't have the strongest connection to the troupe he was once in because that's not where "the great Minagi-sensei" is and he wants to start a fanclub. Meguru pretty much admitted that Tsuzuru is his favorite brother while having like 10 others and even went on to specify that he doesn't care about looking cool in front of them or their parents but does when it comes to Tsuzuru. Mizuno... well. Mizuno is Mizuno, I don't think I even need to elaborate on this one.

[rentokinozaki]

since my beloved miss july still isnt back i present to you a summer troupe(?) play! a diner owner (july) notices that the "college student" (rento) who's been frequenting the diner is actually an investigator who suspects their place of being a mafia front. i mean yeah, it totally is, but mind your own business?

Fragments of Us

For the @sailormoonrarepairweek Day 6: Break Up prompt

"I've never regretted marrying him. We had some really good years, and I got Ami out of it. And though I don't miss my husband, some days I do miss my friend."

Kaya never thought she'd be so happy to have Mizuno Suoh falling across her light in the library. But there he was, all his roguish charm centered on her. And it felt good not to be lonely anymore. Picking up immediately after Setsuna is called back to The Gate, we follow Ami's parents as they meet again and renew their friendship, through their marriage and Ami's first few years, to their eventual divorce. This piece fits between "That Night Beneath the Moon" and "While You Were Gone."

______________

I was a little late for the prompt day, but I finally finished it. I had a timeline for Ami's parents bullet-pointed out, along with a lot of mental fill-in for the moments that took them from college friends to divorced parents. I hadn't planned on writing any of it out, but the break up prompt was all the encouragement I needed. Bonus points for it starting with Kaya's break up with Setsuna. 😅

[makoami]

Okay so admittedly I'm kind of stumped on what kind of design to base Ken off of for the fancomic adaptation of The Cruelty of Fairness and Fate fanfiction. I'm looking through some photos of Sailor Moon side characters and I'm thinking of basing him off of this guy's design?? But older looking since he's supposed to be around Saeko/Kaya Mizuno's age. Idk though, this design looks a lot like Haruka. I'll figure it out later. But if you guys have any ideas, I'm open to take suggestions.

Masumi: …

Mizuno: Now then, if you’ll excuse me.

Mizuno: Huh?

Masumi: Ah…

Mizuno: Hello. I didn’t know you were a Fuyou University student.

Masumi: Why are you at the Career Center?

Mizuno: Our company will be accepting interns this year. I came to do a briefing session regarding that.

Masumi: You’re the one doing that kind of thing?

Mizuno: I want to gain as much experience as I can while I’m still young, so I like to go around to all different kinds of departments.

Mizuno: It’d be rather troublesome if I didn’t know anything about the company when I eventually take over.

Masumi: …Do you really have to do that right now? Doesn’t it take up your free time as a college student?

Mizuno: It’s not necessarily a matter of having to do it. For me, it’s in part because I was interested in doing it to begin with.

Mizuno: But I’m glad I’m doing this because it lets me help the people I care about.

Masumi: …I see.

Mizuno: Seems like it’s a bit of a rough time for theater companies, with the details of the new Fleur Award having been announced.

Mizuno: If there’s anything I can do to help, please do let me know.

Masumi: Okay… Ah, the script’s been going well for Tsuzuru. He’s even more fired up than usual and he’s not overworking himself either.

Mizuno: Huh?

Masumi: It’s payment for answering my questions.

Mizuno: Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to your next performance.

Masumi: (Tsuzuru’s making good progress, so I’m sure it’s almost time to…)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tsuzuru: …What do you think?

Izumi: It’s really interesting! It definitely feels like a new RomiJuli!

Izumi: I had my ideas of what a RomiJuli sequel might be, but I never even considered something like this.

Izumi: What I like the most is that Sakuya-kun, Masumi-kun, and Chikage-san all have--.

Sakuya: We all have two roles!?

Sakuya: I’ve never had two roles as the lead before, but it seems like it’ll be a really fun challenge!

Masumi: It’s definitely something we couldn’t have done back during our first performance.

Izumi: For sure. It really feels like something we could only do now that we’ve made it this far.

Itaru: So there’s more characters this time because it’s set both in the past and the present in Verona?

Chikage: I never thought I’d be playing a role that connects the past to the present. I’ve got quite the responsibility.

Sakuya: It’s kinda fitting of you, in a way, Chikage-san!

Izumi: That’s definitely true.

Citron: I am happy that I have many more lines~!

Itaru: The two who ran away coming back all grown up is a simple approach, but definitely heartwarming.

Tsuzuru: This was my first time doing a sequel, so I wasn’t entirely sure what direction to take, but I wanted it to be something that deals with the root of the main conflict.

Tsuzuru: I thought that a happy ending after the two return home from their trip would be the most Spring Troupe-like conclusion for it.

Izumi: Yeah, I think it’s a very Spring Troupe-like RomiJuli sequel. Let’s get some copies together right aw--.

Tsuzuru: Ah, wait… I’d like to watch the rehearsals a bit more to get a better feel for things, so can we hold off on that?

Izumi: Alright, we’ll go ahead without printing the script in full. No matter how long it takes, let’s make this into something Tsuzuru-kun’s satisfied with.

Masumi: Fine. It’ll let Sakuya and Tsuzuru be more flexible with things considering how they’re “like that” now.

Tsuzuru: You don’t have to emphasize “like that” so much.

Sakuya: Ahaha, that is true.

Tsuzuru: Well, whatever, I’ll take it as a compliment.

Izumi: (I think we’re finally starting to see our usual Spring Troupe again.)

Izumi: (They were so nervous about the Fleur Award rankings, so it’s good to see them like this again.)

Izumi: (Let’s just hope all our preparations continue smoothly all the way up until the performance…)
