once again asking people to please read! also … new chapter coming soon…

NEW CHAPTER

hi sorry for the late update! just a quick chapter for everyone to read and its got more characters in it this time so yeah…. if u have any questions PLEASEEEEEEE ASK ME!!!!! in the comments or here on this blog! thank u all for reading ❤️

[catboymasumi]

ever thought about how masumi and tenma were both always alone but, while masumi felt his parents' total absence, tenma felt their overwhelming presence.

masumi, for better or worse, was allowed to do whatever he pleased. only as long as his parents didnt change their minds, of course, but he could still do whatever he wanted.

meanwhile, tenma's parents were also always busy with work and/or overseas, but tenma could not do anything that would worsen his (and his parents) public image. tenma has been on the screen since he was a child. everyone knows him. he is not allowed to be "rebellious" or forget about what others will think like masumi did.

just. you know. its interesting to think about how two characters with very similar family situations end up having completely opposite experiences, though theyre still alike in some ways. i hope a3 properly explores this in an event someday. it would be nice.

A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SSR] Gaze of Absolute Zero (1/3)

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

---

Izumi: Hmmm… (…Considering these contents, I guess we should get guys from Spring troupe or Autumn troupe.) (Maybe I’ll try reaching out first. I hope someone’s in their room right now.)

-pause-

Izumi: (No one from room 101 came… I guess they’re out.) (Next up is room 102…)

*knock, knock*

Masumi: Who's there?

Izumi: Ah, Masumi-kun? I have something I need…

*door slams open*

Izumi: !?

Masumi: Ask me anything.

Izumi: T-Thanks. Is Tsuzuru-kun not in?

Masumi: He left for his part-time job… Did you need him?

Izumi: Well, it’s not just Tsuzuru-kun. I have something to discuss with everyone in Spring troupe and Autumn troupe. In any case, is it alright if I ask you then?

Masumi: Of course. Come in.

Izumi: Thanks. Don’t mind if I do.

-pause-

Izumi: So you see, we received this proposal.

Masumi: …

Izumi: We got a request from the Edo Park for a sword fight show. The theme is “exorcists” who eradicate evil spirits. I heard the actors and staff members who were part of the “Shinsengumi” themed play during the Spring-Autumn training camp are also going to be appear in the show. They mentioned they’d love to act together again.

Masumi: So that’s why you need guys from Spring troupe and Autumn troupe?

Izumi: Exactly. By the way, it seems they’re looking to fill these roles…

Masumi: If that's the case—.

-pause-

Citron: I’m home! The tea party with the Madame was lots of fun~.

Omi: Oh, you’re back. Welcome home, Citron.

Izumi: Citron-kun, glad you’re back.

Masumi: You’re late.

Citron: Oh. This mood seems like you were waiting for me?

Izumi: I just had a chat with Omi-kun. I’ll explain what's going on to you too.

-pause-

Izumi: …So that’s the situation. What do you think?

Citron: I'm delighted I get to act at the Edo Park again!

Izumi: Yay, I’m glad to hear that.

Citron: Are Masumi and Omi doing it too?

Masumi: I decided to join the moment Director talked to me about it. I’m playing the role of a ruthless swordsman. It’s in the setting materials.

Izumi: And after discussing with Masumi-kun, we wanted to have Omi-kun play the large, friendly swordsman… It looks like his schedule also works out, so we’ve entrusted that role to him.

Citron: In that case, the only one left is the mobile swordsman!

Omi: It’s noble, not mobile.

Izumi: This role has a similar vibe to Ennis, so we figured you’d be perfect for the job.

Citron: In the last show, I played the role of an evil governor and I didn't even get the chance to hold a sword! This time, I will get to yell you’re under arrest! You’re under arrest!

Izumi: There’s no character going around arresting people… But I think Citron-kun will be able to handle it. How do you feel?

Citron: Of course I’m in!

Izumi: Alright. I’ll ask them for the script, so let’s hold another meeting later.

-pause-

Kondo: Thank you very much once again for accepting our request!

Izumi: The pleasure is ours. Thank you for reaching out to us.

Kusama: I’m Kusama, part of the staff. Nice to meet you.

Izumi: We look forward to working together.

Kondo: We don’t have much time between our swordfight rehearsals and the real show, so we’ll really be counting on you guys.

Omi: Happy to be working together.

Citron: Thank you~!

Masumi: Let's do this.

Kondo: I heard you’ve already read the script thoroughly, so let’s get started with the swordfight rehearsal right away. We’ll split you into pairs to practice. Usui-kun who plays Himuro will be with the soldier playing Okita, Citron-kun who plays Otozaka will be with the soldier playing Yamanami… And Fushimi-kun who plays Amesawa will be with the solider playing Harada.

Masumi: Got it.

Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 1 Group 3

Propaganda and further pictures under the cut

Faraway Friends: Sunny, Aubrey, Basil, Hero, Kel, Mari

Spring Troupe: Sakuya Sakuma, Masumi Usui, Tsuzuru Minagi, Itaru Chigasaki, Citron, Chikage Utsuki

Submissions are still open!

Faraway Friends:

They are a close friend group Mari and Hero act as older siblings to the younger kids

Spring Troupe:

okay okay listen to me LISTEN TO ME. they start doing this whole family skit thing as an acting exercise (Itaru as the dad, Citron as the mom, Tsuzuru Sakuya and Masumi as the kids (in age order), Chikage as the grampa when he shows up) and yes okay it's a silly bit but they ARE a family, okay, they take it very seriously, they all have some level of issue surrounding family but they have EACH OTHER now, i BELIEVE they and everyone around them describe themselves as a family unit but i don't have the energy to fact check that. hell tsuzuru wrote a play for them all that was specifically ABOUT making a little found family unit. they're so good. fuck.

THEYRE SO GREAT ALSJNSNSNDJ. I can’t find the right words for it rn but. They are my favorite characters of ever and I love their dynamic<3

[sankaku-translations]

Today is Summer Troupe, Ikaruga Misumi-kun’s birthday! A word from today’s main character: Misumi “Masumi told me about an upcoming festival that I should invite Madoka to go to! I want to have lots of fun with Madoka again, just like the last summer festival we went to! Ehehe, I'll try to LIME Madoka later!”

Izumida Azami: What’s Masumi-san looking at……a packed festival schedule? Did he love festivals that much?……No, maybe he wanted to go with Director

Usui Masumi: Madoka spoke happily about the summer festival that he went to with Misumi at college (university), so I remembered this memo. This festival is coming up, I can tell him about it.
