A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SSR] Rosa Pura Yearning for Love (3/3)

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

---

Tsuzuru: I’m home—. Woahh!?

Masumi: …

Tsuzuru: That gave me a heart attack… What are you doing standing out here?

*ding dong*

Delivery person: Good day~. I have something addressed to Mr. Usui Masumi.

Masumi: Thanks.

Tsuzuru: (There’s a mountain of cardboard boxes… Just what did he order so much of…?) Ah… Masumi, do you need any help carrying that?

Masumi: …Can you take these in then?

Tsuzuru: (Huh? They're lighter than I expected once I lift them up.) (Just what in the world is this…?)

-pause-

Masumi: Place them down over there.

Tsuzuru: S-Sure…

Masumi: …

Tsuzuru: (He opened the boxes right away and started getting something ready…) (Is this Director’s White Day present that he mentioned the other day?) (There’s a lot of stuff here though, and I’m pretty sure he was supposed to give her cookies…)

Masumi: …

Tsuzuru: (Balloons? Is he using them for a party…?)

Masumi: *Blows*.

Tsuzuru: (He’s starting to inflate them…) (Wait, is that box full of balloons…?) (Should I help him? But…)

Masumi: …Quit staring. If you’re going to help then help already.

Tsuzuru: … (Why am I the one getting antsy here?) (But at this rate, I can’t help it… I guess I’ll lend him a hand.)

-pause-

Tsuzuru: Phew… (We’ve finished blowing up the balloons, but there’s still some boxes left.) Hey, Masumi. Are these full of balloons too? I’m gonna go ahead and open them—.

*opens*

Tsuzuru: Is this… packing material?

*knock, knock*

Tsuzuru: Come in. …Huh, Tetsuro-san?

Tetsuro: …

Tsuzuru: Um… what are those big boards for…?

Masumi: We’re going to assemble them, so you hold this over there.

Tsuzuru: Wait, what!?

-pause-

Masumi: …It’s done.

Tsuzuru: What is this… A huge box?

Tetsuro: …

Tsuzuru: D-Don’t tell me…

Masumi: Tsuzuru, help me tie the ribbon.

Tsuzuru: Hey, Masumi? Let me just ask to make sure, but what I’m wrapping is…

Masumi: Me.

-pause-

*knock, knock*

Izumi: … (Hm? No one’s there…? Masumi-kun called me over though…)

-pause-  

Izumi: Excuse me—. What the heck is that huge box!? And what’s with all these balloons… Come to think of it, Masumi-kun said he had something he wanted to give me. This isn’t it, is it…? Nobody’s around. Maybe I’ll come back…

*rustle*

Izumi: (There’s a sound coming from inside the box… I-Is someone inside…?) Noooo. There’s no way, right…)  

*opens*

Masumi: Happy White Day.  

Izumi: (I KNEW IT…!!!) Errm… let me ask real quick, but what is all this for…?  

Masumi: It's your White Day present. The very best thing I can give you is myself. I want to give you my everything.  

Izumi: (He’s even more passionate than usual). (Masumi-kun’s earnestness to go to such lengths for me sure is dangerous…)  

Masumi: …Did you feel excited when you opened it?  

Izumi: Huh?

  Masumi: Here. Untie the ribbon already.  

Izumi: Fufu. Okay, okay. (…Well, I guess that’s also a part of Masumi-kun that never changes.)  

-pause-  

Masumi: …I’ll give you a test cookie I made.  

Tsuzuru: Didn’t you give yourself to her for White Day?  

Masumi: I want to see her enjoying eating the cookies I made too, so I’m planning to give her cookies separately as well.  

Tsuzuru: You’re asking for a lot.  

Masumi: …I know. No matter how much I give, I still can’t get what I want most from Director. (…Just like those cookies.) That’s why I want everything I can get now. And I intend to get it. …Doing that much is fine, right?  

Tsuzuru:  …You really are devoted. Well, do your best.  

Masumi: You don’t need to tell me. And stop patting my head. It’s annoying.

A3! Playback Talk - Run around the field. Translation

Tsuzuru: Hello. I’m Tsuzuru Minagi, from MANKAI Company’s Spring Troupe.

Tasuku: I’m Tasuku Takato from the Winter Troupe.

Tasuku: Thank you for watching MANKAI Company’s Second Mixed Troupe performance, “Run around the field.”.

Tsuzuru: From here on is a bonus video featuring free talk between the lead and co-lead.

Tsuzuru: We’ll be happy if this special stream and free talk teaches you more about our company and this performance.

Tasuku: “Run around the field.”’s theme is soccer…

Tasuku: All 4 actors participating in this play are members of the company’s soccer club, and are teammates who play soccer and futsal together on the regular.

Tsuzuru: Both our role-building and rehearsals consisted of doing nothing but playing soccer.

Tsuzuru: After practice, we’d go to a bath-house. And after the bath, we’d drink milk and discuss how the day’s practice went.

Tasuku: Well, that’s pretty much what I usually do, but because I was also conscious of my role, the points I had to pay attention to were different.

Tsuzuru: Right. For me… I worked out as I wondered what kind of menu Kubota would follow, and for how many hours he would work out.

Tsuzuru: That reminds me. Tasuku-san, you were working out so much that Yuki had to warn you about it.

Tasuku: Ahhh... I got fired up while preparing for the role, and before I knew it, my thighs’ size had increased.

Tasuku: The costume’s design wasn’t too tight, so it worked out one way or another.

Tsuzuru: I think everyone except you was too nervous to check their sizes back then.

Tasuku: Before we knew it, we had to cut down on training.

Tsuzuru: Ah~... Talking about this performance is making me want to play soccer. 

Tasuku: Me too. Should we call Fushimi and Izumida after this?

Tsuzuru: Let’s do that. 

Tsuzuru: Everyone, if you get the chance to, please try playing soccer.

Tasuku: This was the bonus free talk footage for “Run around the field.”. Thank you for watching.

-

Tsuzuru: … Whew. Good work.

Tasuku: Good work. Okay, I’ll try reaching out to the other two on the soccer club’s LIME group chat.

Tasuku Takato: Hey. We just finished the free talk filming Azami: good work Omi Fushimi: Good work. I’m looking forward to watching it later Tsuzuru: talking about it made us feel like playing soccer. if you’d like, could we practice a little, later? Azami: i was just thinking about how i want to move my body Omi Fushimi: I’m in. I’ve just finished preparing dinner

Tsuzuru: These two are soccer enthusiasts as well, eh.

Tasuku: Right. Because we all love both acting and soccer… We were able to enjoy ourselves while acting, and it made the play even better.

Tsuzuru: I think so, too.

Tasuku: Alright, let’s go back to the dorm and get ready.

Tsuzuru: Also, after soccer…

Tasuku: We’re going to the bath-house, of course.

A3! Event Translation: Pastry Chef's Specialty (2/11)

━━━━━━━━━

Juza: The parfait was delicious. Thanks for joining me, Yuki.

Yuki: You're welcome. Well, the rose-shaped strawberries on the parfait were cute too, so I had a lot of fun as well.

Juza: Yeah, I didn't know food could be presented like that. I'm also glad I could buy a souvenir for Muku.

Yuki: Yup, Muku seems like he would like these types of parfaits too, so I hope we can all go together next time.

Juza: 'S true.

Juza: .......?

Juza: This shop....was there always cake shop like this in Veludo Way?

Yuki: Huh, that's true.

Yuki: It looks new, so it may have been built recently.

Juza: ........

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

Director: I think everyone's here. Well then, let's get started.

Director: So, did anyone know that Veludo Way will be hosting a Sweets Contest soon?

Juza: !

Yuki: Isn't that the event we saw on the flyer, yesterday?

Juza: 'S right.

Tasuku: Sweets Contest?

Tenma: Heeh, so those types of events exist?

Tsuzuru: I don't know of them either.

Director: It seems to be a revitalization project to help liven up Veludo Way. The aim is to create a specialty sweet that represents Veludo Way.

Director: The contest will be held to decide which specialty sweet is the best.

Director: So, here comes the main point......

Director: Guy-san is planning to participate in the contest and is looking for people to help him.

Director: Can you explain the details please, Guy-san?

Guy: Yes, understood.

Guy: It's just like the director said just now, I am thinking of entering the Sweets Contest.

Guy: I was thinking about adding some sweets to the bar's menu when Citronia told me about the contest.

Guy: I do think I should expect to win the grand prize, but if I do, the sweet could become a hot topic around Veludo Way.

Guy: That way, perhaps a more diverse range of people will want to visit the bar. I will be giving it a try and work hard.

Chikage: I see.

Sakuya: I think it's an amazing idea!

Guy: However, I thought it might be difficult for me to do this alone since I do not know much about sweets.

Guy: So I talked to the Director about this, and she suggested we get everyone together to work as a team and enter.

Guy: It seems like up to 6 people may enter as a team. It would be much appreciated if everyone could help lend us their strengths.

Muku: Of course!

Kazunari: If everyone thinks together, we could make something even more delicious and aesthetically pleasing than any pastry chef, right!?

Taichi: Woahhh, brainstorming sweets together sounds super fun, it's getting me hyped up!

Guy: Thank you. This is very reassuring.

Tsumugi: Well then, let's all work together and think about which 5 members will enter along with Guy-san.

Director: That's right. A priority will go to members who are free on the day of the contest's grand prize announcement. Speaking of that, the schedule is as follows.

Banri: I mean, it would definitely be better if Omi participated, right?

Azuma: When it comes to sweets in our company, Omi's the one.

Omi: Of course, I can help you make the sweets.

Omi: However, I'm sorry.....I'm actually a bit busy with work right now, so it'll be tough for me to go on the day the Grand Prize is announced.

Director: I see. Then, who else......?

Juza: ...........Could I help out? I might not be of much use makin' em but.......

Guy: No, Juza has lots of knowledge on sweets. You are a valuable asset.

Director: That's also what I think! Juza-kun is definitely a candidate for the entering team.

Yuki: I thought for sure you'd go for it.

Yuki: I also felt excited when I saw a cute parfait yesterday, though.

Yuki: I think it would be fun to think about how sweets look when making them, so I'll give it a try I think.

Kumon: If Nii-chan's participating, then I want to participate too! I want to lend my strength to Guy-san too!

Homare: If Yuki-kun and Kumon-kun are also entering, is there anyone else who could participate?

Citron: How about Itaru? Lately, he has said he's been showing more fierceness in his work!

Itaru: Me? Nah, it's more like having more free-time, not fierceness.

Chikage: He has a point, you're not that busy right now.

Itaru: I guess you're right. I have been a loyal customer of Guy-san's bar......I don't know that much about sweets, but if you're okay with it I'd be glad to join you.

Misumi: Itaru also decides to enterrr~!

Tenma: Sweets huh......I've recently had the chance to try them in a drama I appeared in.

Tenma: They had all kinds of them, so maybe something there could be useful.

Taichi: Oooh, sounds nice huh!

Azami: The sweets that appear in dramas look super good. They're probably pretty famous popular and trending cakes.

Hisoka: If there's anyone who's seen something like that or even eaten it, that would be a great help.

Masumi: I'm fine with my work schedule.

Tenma: Yeah. I'll check with Igawa, but I don't think there'd be any problems with me participating either.

Director: Alright, so the 6 people entering will be Guy, Juza, Yuki, Kumon, Itaru, and Tenma.

Guy: I look forward to working with everyone.

[a3playshipbattleroyale]

WELCOME TO THE A3! PLAY SHIP BATTLE ROYALE!

"Holy shit, another Tumblr poll!?" you ask. Well. Yes. Why? Um. My friends brought up the idea and I have terrible impulse control. ANYWAY.

DO YOU LIKE A3! PLAYS!? DO YOU LIKE MAKING THE FUNNY LITTLE A3! PLAY CHARACTERS KISS!? BOY, DO I HAVE THE POLL FOR YOU!

Welcome, one and all, to the A3! Play Ship Battle Royale, where we pit our favorite a3 play ships against other people's favorite a3 play ships and hopefully spawn either a couple new ao3 fic tags, a silly crossover piece of art, a newfound appreciation for a3 plays, or...! I ran out of stuff. But you get the gist.

SUBMISSION RULES AND GUIDELINES

- The ship must be a play ship. The characters do not have to be from the same play! Extended playverse ships are allowed, provided that at least one person in the ship is a canon play character AND you can provide a visual of the extended play character/s. Ships between a play character and an actor are NOT allowed for the bracket at this time (but maybe it'll change in the future).

- The play ship in question does NOT need to be a main troupe/mixed play. Ships from other plays like Royal Blue or Inner Palace are allowed!

- Play characters must be within an appropriate age range with one another. I'll leave that to your discretion as to what counts as "appropriate", but as a general rule: no adults with anyone younger than college age. Also, please don't submit ships where the characters are related to one another.

- You do not have to ship the actors who play the characters, as long as you ship the play characters themselves. (Just as an example, you can submit Luke/S, even if you don't ship Citron/Tsuzuru.) Specifically, though, I will not accept ships played by Juza/Kumon/Muku, or Azami/Sakyo, even if the play ship is technically okay. I won't consider those submissions.

- In case I get a lot of submissions (like, a lot of submissions), I'll do my best to provide a mix of popularity in the poll. In case that a certain actor pairing has a lot of submitted play ships, I'll likely just choose two or three of them. If your submitted ship didn't make it, I'm really sorry! ><

- Submissions that don't follow the rules will not be considered. Also, if a certain pair makes me wildly uncomfortable, I probably won't consider it, sorry. Unless it's, like, really, really popular or something.

POLL RULES AND GUIDELINES

- Be nice to each other in the notes! If I see the shooters of any particular ship being nasty, I will give one (1) warning only. If you can't get your act together after that, I will disqualify the ship.

- Propaganda is allowed and encouraged! Silly crack fics are allowed and encouraged! Funny art is allowed and encouraged! I want everyone's brain juices to start flowing!

- This poll is run by one person, so please be patient! And please be nice, I'm fragile.

GOT THAT? YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR SHIPS HERE!

(submissions will be open until may 19, or i'll close them if i get way too many submissions that i start struggling.)

Special shoutout to some of the other tournaments that inspired this! @weirdass-shiptournament and @a3rarepairstournament in particular! Heart emojis.

(last note, i won't be submitting any ships myself, but if you're interested in hearing my personal play ships, um. i guess you can ask, but it might take a while for me to get back to you because dms scare me, lol.)

[moonlight404-translates]

Hey, same person who told you which A3! VAs can rap, again. GJ on your A3! Autumn Troupe 10th play event progress. Hope to see some translations from that event, whether it’s card or the whole event story w/ the play.

Speaking of 10th play, I still remember Summer’s 10th play where it’s based on “Journey to the West” (西遊記 in Japanese). Here’s the funny thing, BLACKSTAR is wrapping up their 1st 2023 Summer Fest event called Popping Summer Bubbles where Nekome, Yakou, Taiga, Qu, Mizuki, & Heath participated in a mixed team performance based on Mozart’s opera “Don Giovanni” called “Night xo bird” sung by Yakou’s singer & the next 2023 Summer Fest event will have 2 new mixed teams in a different performance where Akira sings 1 song & Yoshino sings another song where there’s a CD cover that has Akira holding a staff like Son Goku from “Journey to the West.”

Thank you! I've been working on the play translation in my free time. I hope to complete it soon (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to A3!’s Kazunari on 08/01! Also, the TWST JP server will have a collab w/ Disney’s Stitch (the alien from Lilo & Stitch). Also, Lilia & Floyd as the SSR cards are perfect due to Lilia’s and Floyd’s personalities.

Meanwhile in BLACKSTAR, the next summer event will have 2 mixed teams performing in a hero show where Akira, Ran, Rindou, Sinju(真珠), & Takami are in the hero team while Yoshino, Kokuyou, Sin(シン), Sotetsu, & Kongou are in the villain team. So far, all I know is that the hero team is based on the good guys in “Journey to the West” w/ Akira on the CD cover holding a staff like Son Goku. Though it’s funny that Yoshino is in a group w/ bulky body building guys having sexy muscles & Yoshino’s speaking VA also plays A3!’s Tsumugi & TWST’s Azul.

Yey, Kazunari's day! His best friend, Tsuzuru, came in my free pull instead of him (ーvー;)

That was a surprising announcement! I'm so excited for it! I won't pull because I don't have gems, so I can just hope that one day we get a rerun of it.

BSTS summer events inspirations sound so cool. Sin and Rindou look so good in their outfit for this last event. The hero and villain theme sounds interesting. Yoshino definitely shines among his teammates.

A3! Holding your hand. 🌸 Spring and Summer 🔆 Edition

Honestly this is just pure sugar and diabetes I’m throwing out here simply because I miss contact therefore I project hoho.

Enjoy! 💕

-

🌸 Sakuya always holds your hand tenderly with the utmost fascination- like a child holding onto their loved ones before walking on their own onto the world. The touch of his hand fitting in yours make his heart jump every time. It feels like a greeting after being away for a long time, even though he saw you this morning. A squeeze that says welcome home, I’ve missed you. One that makes his chest practically burst from inside. Sakuya could stay by your side forever, so long he could hold onto your hand. Because it really is his favorite place to be, and he can’t be more grateful you offered it to him.

🌸 Tsuzuru’s hand holds yours unconsciously while deep in thought, eyes lost staring at the computer screen. He hums and rubs his thumb softly over your knuckles, letting go embarrassed when he notices. Not much time passes before he usually feels an unexpected touch again, the warmth he has come to distinguish, tenderly interlocking hands with his. He sighs and looks down smiling. It feels like an undeserved reward -yet there you are, next to him. I support you. Lean on me. He proceeds to squeeze back tight. Because there's just so much comfort and strength in your hold, and who is Tsuzuru to deny that.

🌸 Citron’s fingers intertwine with yours with the greatest devotion, welcoming you to his side no matter where you two are. He likes to make you spin, face ending inches away from his while he caresses the back of your palm ever so slightly. He then grips the hold a little tighter, gaining your attention once again. His eyes soften when you look at them, a fullness of soul and serenity staring back. A silence that conveys thank you. Citron lifts your hold, lips kissing and tickling the back of your hand, mentally thanking you for bringing him such happiness and joy, wishing for it to stay as long as forever allows him to.

🌸 Masumi now understands- oh how he does- why people hold hands. He had always thought it might be due to some kind of possessiveness, a physical way to say mine, but it’s much more. It’s about approaching someone with your heart. About speaking without words. An I want you with me and don’t go. His firm yet gentle grip cups your hand everytime he can, dreading the moment he won’t be able to feel you anymore. And always, always at the last moments there’s this last squeeze, brush of lips on your knuckles before he really does let go.

🌸 Itaru’s hold is usually vague and loose- maybe two or three fingers out of all five- yet he doesn’t let go. Even when it’s late into the night and playing one-handed makes it more difficult to rank, the fear that you will ever let him go makes him squeeze from time to time. I’m thinking about you. Because there’s this strange feeling that makes him want to throw away his freedom and tie himself to you, starting with those two fingers in the darkness of the room. He jokes about it in his head, about commitment, still everything disappears when the warmth that comes from you makes him glance your way again. I’m thinking about you.

🌸 It’s not usual for Chikage to hold your hand. He stares and studies in silence your peaceful sleeping expression, sitting carefully next to you, brushing your palm with the tip of his fingertips. He doesn’t know what he’s doing if he’s honest, why something pulls him to take your hand into his. You mumble and shuffle. Chikage’s body somehow relaxes, and a corner of his mouth lifts. Trust in me. Let me be your strength. He stares again. It feels surprisingly warm and a tide familiar. And as he caresses you back with his thumb, he’s never been more sure he’s where he’s supposed to be.

🔆 The way Kumon holds your hand is like an anchor. Your touch helps him feel at ease, releasing his nerves just by knowing you are beside him. A firm message of how hope and joy are possible within one’s reach, because you prove him every day after all. He rubs affectionately his thumb on your knuckles and fingers to call for your attention as he talks, his grip surprisingly bigger and rougher than one might expect. And when you respond back, he involuntarily laughs- adoration filling the air at the closeness, cheeks flushed out of pure adoration. Perhaps it is you that performs the miracles.

🔆Tenma tends to throw a few quick glances before he tries to hold your hand, the unexpected intimacy that comes with such a trivial gesture making him an easy target for you to tease. He grumbles, but never lets go- not really. Because everything stops the moment space closes and your hands fit in his, palm against palm. This sense of belonging, an awkward I’m grateful you found me feeling of fondness that comes with a fast thud of his heart through your touch. Tenma will keep trying to hold your hand next time, and next time too- grumpy and flustered even. He’s not about to let you go.

🔆 Yuki has gotten used to it, to expect your hand always near him. And when he doesn’t find it he frowns looking for it, silently grabbing it while intertwining his fingers with yours, not before pinching your palm or knuckles slightly- a soft scolding so you don’t get used to it. He then drags you along the shop. It never seems like he’s paying much attention, but everytime you try squeezing it, it only takes a few seconds -as if he’s not sure what to do- before he squeezes back. He hides his smile from you, because he knows what that means, No matter what, I’m bringing you along with me.

🔆 Muku loves to lock and curl his pinkie around yours, hanging on it while talking about anything and everything on walks around town -your very own little adventure. It feels safe, nevertheless. You both giggle, a feeling of innocence, wide-eyed wonder, and even more affection when you both meet each other’s hands at the same time. A shared I found you! that’s warm and fuzzy, enveloping his chest. He feels peaceful and quietly wishes for the walk back home to not come too soon.

🔆 Kazunari will happily do everything with just one hand if he gets to hold you with the other. He doesn’t really go for subtle displays of affection when it comes to having you cupped inside his grasp. Your touch feels like fuel, as if the mere contact powered him up, stronger and brighter than anything he has ever felt before. And so he brings you along everywhere. Your hold allows him to be real, and he will do the same for you, I am your spark and you are mine, he says with his fingers intertwined with yours while joking and laughing together. He holds your hand and thinks how right it feels, pulling you once more to try and feel every ounce of you

🔆 Misumi cherishes the feel of your hand into his. His hold is all over the place yet his grip never loses strength, tracing small triangles shapes at the back of your palm with his thumb. Your touch makes him remember what love feels like. What belonging and feel connected to someone is like. He swings your hand along rhythmically on the streets, humming a melody while you two walk together, always securely clasped into his. Your body moves along as he stands in front of you, moving your hand in different directions excitedly, not letting go despite how much you laugh and ask him to slow down. You make me happy. He hopes you know.

___________________________________________________

Hope you all have a wonderful day! 💕

A3 - Event Story - First Day of Spring・Setsubun Festival (立春・節分祭) - Episode 9

Izumi: Hey guys, they just made an announcement at the school gym about our play.

Izumi: Looks like our audience is making their way here, now.

Ohara: O-oh, r-right.

Ogawa: It's really about to start... Ugh, I'm nervous.

Tsuzuru: Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Just do it like we practiced.

Izumi: Okay, it’s time! Is everyone ready?

Troupe Members: Yes!

Kabadoji: "Oh? What’s that lying on the ground over there... a human? Haven’t seen one of those in a long time."

Kuwadoji: "Look, two humans! They look pretty dead to me. That means we can eat them, right?"

Gentaro: "Urgh..."

Kawanosuke: "Nnn..."

Kabadoji: "They’re not dead."

Kuwadoji: "Meh. What should we do, then?"

Kabadoji: "Good question. Just leaving them there doesn’t feel right to me. Let's take them to our village for now."

---

Gentaro: "Ughh... Huh? Where am I?"

Kawanosuke: "I don’t recognize anything around here."

Kikumaru: "Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Gentaro: "Y-You’re...”

Kikumaru: "I’m Kikumaru, a doctor in this village. Kabadoji and Kuwadoji asked me to take care of you two."

Kawanosuke: "This is a village? What the hell is this place, really?"

Kikumaru: "A demon village.”

Gentaro: "D-demons?! Then, you’re...!”

Kikumaru: "Yeah, I'm a demon."

Kawanosuke: "That’s ridiculous! I’ve never heard of a place like this."

Kikumaru: "Naturally, because this village has no connection with the human world. But sometimes humans come here by mistake."

Gentaro: "And we made that mistake."

Kawanosuke: "W-what’s gonna happen to us?"

Kikumaru: "Who knows? The guys who found you work at a hot springs inn around here. Just wait for them to come back."

---

Kabadoji: "I'm back. How are the humans?"

Kuwadoji: "Oh, they’re awake! They look all right."

Gentaro: "You guys saved us, didn't you? We’re grateful for what you did."

Kawanosuke: "Uh, um... Are the two of you really demons?"

Kuwadoji: "Well, yeah. This is a demon village and everything."

Kabadoji: "Humans don’t belong in a place like this. If you can walk, you should go back to where you came from as soon as you can."

Gentaro: "That sounds great, but we don’t know how to go back."

Kabadoji: "Oh, right..."

Kikumaru: "Hey, I’m pretty sure one of your coworkers at the inn has sent humans back before.”

Kikumaru: "I think his name is Randoji."

---

Randoji: “You want to send humans back to their world...?"

Kuwadoji: "Yep, exactly. Ones who ended up here by accident."

Kabadoji: "Kikumaru said you know how to do it.”

Randoji: "Well, I do know, but... you’ll need to pay for that information."

Randoji: "I'll accept one arm from each human. Or, they can pay by working at the inn."

Gentaro: "The inn, please! We’ll work at the inn!"

Kawanosuke: "I’ll do my absolute best to be useful!"

Randoji: “Hah, very well. Then come back first thing tomorrow morning, humans."

---

Marimaru: "Randoji told me everything. I’m not gonna go easy on you today!

Gentaro: "I thought we would be working with Kabadoji and Kuwadoji..."

Higanmaru: "They’re busy. Honestly, they don’t have time to look after humans."

Marimaru: "Now get to work!"

Kawanosuke: "Working here sounded better than giving one of my arms away, but are we gonna be okay?”

Gentaro: "I have a bad feeling about this, but we don’t have a choice anymore.”

Higanmaru: "First, clean the baths. Here’s the cleaning tool. Now, there’s a trick to this. With the right amount of force--"

Kawanosuke: "This demon looks terrifying, but he’s a surprisingly thoughtful and considerate teacher. "

Gentaro: "I think we'll be able to handle this."

---

Kuwadoji: "Nice job today!"

Kabadoji: "Looks like you made it through the day in one piece."

Gentaro: "Yes, thank goodness!"

Randoji: "I hear you did well. My thanks to you, humans."

Kawanosuke: "S-so, that means..."

Randoji: "Yeah, I'll show you how to go home. It’s this way. Follow me."

---

Kuwadoji: "Huh? This is..."

Kabadoji: "Where we first found Gentaro and Kawanosuke."

Randoji: "Here is the gate that connects the demon world and the human world. It only opens for a few seconds a day."

Gentaro: "So what happened was..."

Randoji: "You went through the gate during those few seconds, and then Kabadoji and Kuwadoji must've found you just moments later.”

Kawanosuke: "I-I see."

Kuwadoji: "Wait, I know it’s just for a few seconds, but does that mean the door just opens by itself every single day?

Kabadoji: "I didn’t think it would be this easy... ”

Randoji: "That's everything I know. Ready to head back now?"

Kawanosuke: "Oh, yes! Thank you for helping us!

Gentaro: "Thank you very much!

---

Kabadoji: "It's finally happening."

Kuwadoji: "Well then, take care, you two!"

Gentaro: "You too! Ah, part of me doesn’t want to go."

Kawanosuke: "Being in the demon village was terrifying at first, but it ended up being a really nice place."

Gentaro: "Agreed. I really do want to stay for a little longer."

Kabadoji: "No, it’s better if you don’t... I’ll say it again: humans don’t belong in a place like this."

Kuwadoji: "Nothing bad happened this time, but you’ll eventually become someone’s dinner. Because we're demons!

Gentaro: "Being a demon doesn't automatically make you scary or dangerous. I understand that now, after meeting the two of you."

Kawanosuke: "I hope we’ll meet again."

Kuwadoji: "Hey, the door's about to open! Both of you, go, go!"

Gentaro: "Thank you!"

Kawanosuke: "I'm sure we'll see you again someday!"

Kamadoji: "..."

Kuwadoji: “They’re gone. 'Someday,' huh?"

Kabadoji: "I... I hope we never meet again. It's for their own good."

[the-himawari]

Hey, SandcatM here. TY for all the Masumi translations you did, especially the Masumi B-day story & White Day Event story despite your busy schedule. Remember to pace yourself so that you have enough energy to finish what you need to do.

Speaking of Masumi’s B-day, it’s a coincidence that his side chara role is his Black Bunny role from Spring’s 8th play, which I’m happy that it included the twins(& it’s OK for twins to have different personalities just like ParaLive’s Kanata & Nayuta where Masumi would have Kanata’s personality while Sakuya would have Nayuta’s), & Sakuya’s side chara role for his B-day card is his Cheshire Cat from Spring’s 2nd play, which means so much cuteness for animal themed roles(& it makes want to put Sakuya into Heartslabyul). Also, Masumi’s B-day is on the day before this year’s Easter Day compared to last year where Easter day was on Tsuzuru’s & Vil’s B-day.

Speaking of B-days, Happy Birthday to ParaLive’s Hokusaki on 3/03, to A3!’s Madoka on 3/06, to A3!’s Sakuya & BLACKSTAR’s Sotetsu on 3/09, & to TWST’s Sebek on 3/17!

Hi!! So sorry for the late reply 😭🙏 it's pretty funny that harugumi gets so many animal roles haha but then again, so does natsugumi ��

And happy birthday to all the boys in the meantime 🥳💗🎉🎉

Hisoka Mikage x male! reader

A3 Masterlist

Coming out

With his legs swung over the armrest, (Y/N) laid on the couch in the living room of the Mankai Company dorm. Bored, he scrolled through social media, disappointed when he found nothing interesting. He had hoped to find a quiet activity on his phone, but he didn't find anything he really wanted to do.

Sighing softly, (Y/N) put his cell phone on the table next to the couch and looked down at his sleeping boyfriend. A small smile crept onto his face as he carefully wrapped his arms around Hisoka. This made the silver-haired continue to snuggle into the chest of the taller one.

The (Y/HC)-haired man slowly ran his fingers through Hisoka's silver hair, occasionally leaving a little kiss on his forehead. (Y/N) loved times like this. He loved them more than anything else. But they had been laying there for a few hours now.

Everyone who went to work or school in the morning was back home by now and Omi would start making dinner soon. Even if (Y/N) was the only person who could wake up Hisoka without marshmallows, he just couldn't bring himself to drag him out of his slumber.

The silver-haired male just looked too cute...

But on the other hand, he wanted to stand up, all of his limbs were already aching and he had the feeling that he no longer knew how to move them.

A short time later, the tall, brown-haired man, who got called 'Mom' by pretty much everyone, came into the room to prepare dinner. Before he could go to the kitchen area, he stopped, astonished at the sight of the two young men on the couch.

But to be honest, he was more surprised about how long they had been on the couch rather than what position they were in.

(Y/N) and Hisoka hadn't told anyone about their relationship, or their sexuality. Hisoka wasn't afraid that they wouldn't accept them. He knew the members of Mankai Company well enough by now.

But (Y/N) had his concerns. Part of his family is still waiting for this 'phase' to finally end.

"You're still laying here...", said the 20 year old and tilted his head slightly before he began to smile, "Do you have trouble waking him up? Do you need help to carry him to his room?"

The male spoken to only replied with, "No, no...It's alright, thank you."

Omi was a little confused, but he didn't ask any further, "Alright then. Let me know if you need anything." With these words, he wrapped an apron around himself and began to prepare dinner.

(Y/N)'(s) gaze wandered once again to the Sleeping Beauty on his chest. Another sigh escaped his lips before gently shaking him. "Hisoka, wake up..."

(Y/N) started shaking the smaller one a little harder and talking louder. "Come on, Sleeping Beauty, Omi is already cooking." Hisoka opened one eye and looked up at his boyfriend before closing it again and letting out a sigh.

(Y/N)'(s) voice became quieter again, so that Omi couldn't hear him, "If we lay here any longer, the boys will find ou-"

Before the (Y/HC)haired male could finish talking, Hisoka got off of him and rubbed his eyes. "Last week you said we would tell them today..." he muttered as (Y/N) sat up.

The (Y/EC) eyed froze. He hoped Hisoka forgot about that. The silver-haired shot him a look out of the corner of his eye.

(Y/N) sighed, "I hate society..."

---

Several different conversations took place at the dining table, only a few members of the Mankai Company didn't talk. Among them were (Y/N) and Hisoka, as usual.

(Y/N) poked around in his food with a fork, the uncomfortable pressure in his stomach spoiled his appetite. But he swore he wouldn't run away this time.

After all, what would he lose in the worst case?

A bunch of idiots who won't accept love between two same-sex people because society said it's wrong.

(Y/N) took a long breath and put his fork next to his plate. A couple of gazes wandered to him, confused, concerned about the behavior of their good friend.

"You okay, (Y/N)?", Tsuzuru began, "You barely ate anything."

That silenced the entire dining table, all eyes were now on the (Y/EC) eyed male. Citron gasped in surprise, "And it is your favorite foot!"

"I think you mean 'food'.", Tasuku corrected, before turning back to (Y/N). "Is there anything you want to tell us?" He asked.

The one talked to briefly glanced over to Hisoka, who had only listened to everything with sleepy eyes. The silver-haired gave him a small smile, which meant something like 'everything will be fine'.

(Y/N) took deep breath and nodded. But before he could start talking, Taichi cut him off. "You're not leaving us, are you!?"

This triggered a chain reaction among the extroverted and rather loud actors, which, luckily, was interrupted by Sakyo. "Just listen to what (Y/LN) has to say!" Said the blonde in a stern voice.

"First of all...", (Y/N) began, "I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon..." Those words made some of them sigh in relief. "I mean... It depends on how you react..." he mumbled afterwards.

Hisoka slightly shook his head, "Just tell them..." "Huh? Do you know about it, Hiso-Hiso?" Asked Kazunari, surprised. Hisoka nodded, "It's something we both want to tell you."

The whole group was surprised by Hisoka's serious voice, they were only used to soft mumbling. Outside of plays, of course.

Homare frowned slightly in a thinking manner, but then started grinning and laughing. "I think I know what you want to tell us!", He winked at the two young men, "I knew it from the start!"

"What could it be?" "What is it?" "What?" "Is it about triangles?" Asked Citron, Muku, Sakuya and Misumi at the same time. "Maybe we'll find out when you finally shut up!", Yuki replied with an annoyed voice.

(Y/N) dropped his head on the table, he had expected something like that, but not that it would make him even more nervous. "Oh my...", Azuma began, "Let's calm down a bit. The whole thing seems to be very nerve wrecking for poor (Y/N)."

Tsumugi smiled, "Take as much time as you need." Omi nodded in agreement.

The (Y/HC)haired raised his head and rubbed his forehead, which was starting to turn red. Before he could say anything, Homare stood up and pointed at Hisoka and (Y/N). "You two are homosexual and lovers! And have been for months!"

"Yes." Was all Hisoka said while (Y/N)'(s) face landed back on the table and everybody went crazy. "WWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??" some of them shouted in perfect sync before they started congratulating the young couple and bombarding them with questions.

Citron leaned a little over the table, "Why did you keep your love a secret?" (Y/N)'(s) whole face was now bright red. "Because I was scared, my god! Now everybody be quiet, my head is about to explode!"

---

Hisoka sighed, eyebrows furrowed, "They're still so loud..." he muttered as he snuggled back into his boyfriend's chest.

"You can't tell me that you didn't expect that," replied (Y/N), much more relaxed than before.

"I did...", said the silver-haired male, "but still..."

(Y/N) sighed softly and closed his eyes.

"I'm glad they know about our relationship now," he confessed, "and that it was Homare who said it."

Hisoka pouted slightly, "That was your job, though I guess you weren't able to prevent it..." He started to smile, "As red as you were..."

"Hisoka-"

[romijuli]

guess i could always like. put it here.

above the cut: personal faves pls talk to me about these. (uh. mostly.)

sakumasu my beloveds

tsuzuru/misumi/kazunari (any permutation generally speaking)

tsuzuru/sakuya

tsuzuru/sakuya/misumi/kazunari/mizuno (any permutation generally speaking, again)

lesser but still loved a3 ships: taiten, madoka/kaoru, juza/tsuzuru

proseka-specific: minoharu, kanaena, polyjump polysho polyneed etc, ichinene(kana), minori/shiho/kohane, most minori ships tbh

a3 playverse specific: romijuli, merlmord, quartet poly (with specific mention to katsumi/yuu and yuu/youta), tomohisa/kunishige....

below the cut: the more. negative stuff.

these are primarily a3 specific, though i may note some other stuff in there just in case

do not interact if you ship:

y1 middle-schoolers w/ adults (i.e. muku/itaru, azami/chikage, etc)

incestuous ships (i.e. juza/kumon, akito/ena, etc) (includes play charas played by them in a3's case)

jade/luminary (i generally count this with the above i just wanted to make an extra note)

please do not discuss with me:

y1 minors w/ anyone 3+ years older (i.e. taichi/kazunari, banri/tsumugi, juza/yuki, etc)

chikage/hisoka/august in any permutation

citron/guy

chikage/izumi

tsuzuru misumi or kazunari w/ anyone homare age or older

toya proseka w/ saki or tsukasa

vocaloids w/ any of the proseka ocs (unless it’s funny, like “lmao ichika has a crush on miku” or something)

any teacher/student ship, including college and including a3 play characters.

picky about these, may or may not want to discuss depending on my mood: generally it depends if i've seen you handle them before and liked it. or if it's in a polycule, in certain cases. if you'd like to know why you can ask but i'll likely keep it private if possible

comes and goes i guess: omi w/ anyone homare age+, tsuzu misu kazu w/ anyone itaru age+

I like these but not always how they're written: juban, bansaku

not usually big on these but may be interested: tenyuki, azamuku, tsuzumasu

neutral but so goddamn picky: itaizu

there are more to these characters than the ship i swear to god stop centering their entire story on the ship: juban again, akitoya, ruikasa, soriku. (usually) less that i don't like the way they're written but more that the fandom's way of reacting to them drives me up the wall

special hell section: tsuzukazu. "but isn't that one of your faves" yes but so many people get them wrong. i'm generally up to talking about them but there's a solid chance i'll check out i am SO sorry

kinda debating putting a version of my ship boundaries on here instead of just relegating it to my rentry but i do NOT wanna summon problems

[iplaymatchmaker]

hello and good day! i would like a matchup for a3! and ikerev, please! she/her pronouns. you can call me juice, though! hm i think a good description of me personality wise would be im usually cheerful, friendly, childish but i tend to hide a lot of my negative feelings and overthink quite a lot. towards others i'm always curious about the littlest details of someone's hobbies or interest and sometimes i talk more than i listen. love literature and things like fashion or games (1)

Hello, thanks for requesting juice! Sorry for the long wait but I hope you enjoy it! I was pretty excited to write a match up for a3! since it’s been living rent free in my head for the last few weeks. I got a little carried away with the last prompt cause it was so fun to write, but I hope you like it! Also, the ikerev one might take some time but I’ll try to not take too long. Have fun!

I match you with

Tsuzuru!

The two of you first meet after you watch one of their plays, “A Clockwork Heart.” When you realize that the lead and writer is a classmate of yours from college you can’t help but approach him a few days later to discuss the play further.

He seems self conscious at first but quickly opens up as the two of you discuss his script and before you know it one conversation has turned into an in-depth discussion over lunch.

After that first encounter, both of you start talking more often, quickly growing closer. Tsuzuru appreciates your cheerful attitude, making it easy for him to be comfortable around you.

Considering your love for literature, you often help him brainstorm for new ideas, always looking forward to seeing how he brings it to life on stage.

It is easy for you to fit in with the rest of the boys from Mankai, despite their constant prying on your relationship with Tsuzuru. After all the time the two of you spend together, it is no surprise when none of the boys (except Azami) bat an eyelash when you make it official, after a lot of back and forth between friendship and romance.

Prompt: Bonding

“The reason S was created in the first place was because Luke needed a companion. It’s tragic that he was the one who left him in the end.”

“Well, yes, but he also taught him to open up to people, insuring that he wouldn’t be alone when he was gone.”

You and Tsuzuru had been discussing the end of his latest play “A Clockwork Heart” for a while, arguing over whether or not the ending was tragic. When you approached him to offer your praise for his work earlier that day you hadn’t been expecting him to engage in your opinions on a play he wrote, but he was actually deeply invested in the conversation, despite the matter at hand being trivial to the actual substance of the story.

“He couldn’t have known though. He also put his own wishes aside to protect him. That alone makes the ending tragic.” You vividly remembered the tears you had shed when the show reached its climax, a result of both his script and his acting.

“It depends on your idea of what the ending was. S was a machine, so as long as Luke was alive they could meet again, when it was safe for the both of them. That makes the ending-“

Ring Ring

You almost chucked at the generic sound his phone made as it vibrated.

“Give me a sec.” he moved away from the bench before answering. It wasn’t long before he returned, a flush expression on his face.

“Sorry, I didn’t realize I had kept you for so long. I actually need to get going.” He ran a hand through his hair, smiling shyly. It was only then that you noticed what time it was.

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bother you for that long!” Now you were both flushed, the realization dawning on you that you had spent two hours talking.

“I-it’s fine. Um, we can continue this tomorrow, if you’d like?” you were surprised he actually wanted to talk again, a smile spreading over your face.

“Definitely. “

“Okay. See you then!” he waved as he ran off while simultaneously trying to dial someone, resulting in him almost falling on his face. You looked forward to tomorrow.

After that first encounter, you continued to meet during lunch to talk about other works, quickly realizing you had a similar taste in books and movies. It was an easy transition, going from acquaintances to friends.

“How’s the summer troupe’s play coming along?” It was easy to tell that he had been losing sleep again from the – almost – comical black circle under his eyes, but you asked anyway, hoping that you could offer some help.

“I know what I want to write, the words are just refusing to form and settle themselves on the page.” The frustration was evident on his face as he tried to put the pieces flying around his head in order. You tried to think of a way to help him but you knew that he needed to figure this out on his own.

“Come on.” You forcefully pulled him out of his chair, carefully shutting his laptop.

“W-wait. Where are we going?” you pushed him along, despite his protesting.

“Trust me.” You flashed him your biggest smile before setting of, only mildly aware that your hand was still around his wrist.

“The movies?” he seemed confused over what your objective was but you were confident it would help him out of his slump.

“Yes. Come on, I’ll even get us popcorn!” you were beaming as you led him inside.

“What are we watching?” Tsuzuru, finally resigned to his fate, flipped through the leaflet, looking at the moves currently playing.

“Your choice, I’m fine with whatever.” You hurried to the bar to pick up snacks, leaving him at the ticket booth.

“Look at those effects.”

“The acting is top notch.”

Tsuzuru had been so immersed in the movie he seemed to have forgotten all about his tiredness. When you exited the theatre you could practically see the gears turning in his head.”

“It’s a very different take on pirates than the summer troupe’s play, but if I exaggerate the characters even more then there would be great opportunity for comedy.” You couldn’t help the laugh that escaped you as you observed him, completely lost in his own mind.

“So I take it the creative juices are flowing again?” he looked back at you, as if seeing you clearly for the first time in days.

“Yes! Thank you!” He put his arms around you, too far lost in his excitement to feel any awkwardness.

“I-I have to go write! I’ll see you tomorrow.” He continued shouting thank you over his shoulder as he run off with newfound energy. You expected you wouldn’t see him the next day, considering he’d probably be passed out by then, but you smiled anyway.

“See you later!”

Prompt : Cinderella:

“So, you’re thinking of doing Cinderella for the next play?” You and Tsuzuru were hanging out in his room, taking full advantage of Masumi’s absence that weekend.

“Yeah… I’m not sure how to go about it though. Everyone in the Spring Troupe agreed that I should be lead this time around but I just don’t see myself in the shoes of a prince… Itaru would probably be a better fit for the role.” You couldn’t help throwing a pillow his way.

“Hey! What was that for?” You sat up a little straighter, tempted to glare at him until he picked up on your annoyance.

“I can definitely picture you in the role of the prince.” You cleared your throat before switching to your best narrator voice.

A long, long time ago there lived a boy and a girl. They were the best of friends when they were children. The boy would often sneak out to meet with her and they would play for hours. But their happiness would not last long.

You see, the girl grew up to be the maid of one of the less-fortunate royal families in the kingdom. She had been forced into that position by her father’s latest wedding. It would also turn out to be his last, for he died a few years later, leaving her in the care of a wicked stepmother.

One the other hand, the boy grew up to be the most charming prince in the land. The women fawned over him and he always had everything his heart could desire.”

“I’m literally none of those things.”

“Fine then.”

The prince was an idiot who didn’t know how to take care of himself and never asked for help. He constantly worried his friends over his health but they loved him anyway.

“That’s not any better…”

“Shh, let me continue the story.”

Their difference in class ripped the two friends apart, putting an end to their relationship. While they weren’t allowed to meet again, they promised to never forget about each other. To keep that promise, the made matching bracelets and agreed to never take them off until they could meet again.

“Friendship bracelets? Who does that?”

“They were kids! Would you have preferred rings?”

“Wouldn’t those basically be promise rings?”

“I’m coming up with this on the spot, give me a break!”

That bracelet was what gave the girl the strength to continue living, despite her struggles.

When news of a ball arrived at the estate, her step-sisters were quick to start preparations, eager to have a chance at the prince’s hand in marriage. The girl was simply happy at the prospect of seeing her friend again.

When her family found out she was planning to attend the ball, they locked her in the cellar, not willing to risk any competition. The girl wept and wept, until suddenly a kind seeming lady appeared in front of her.

“Isn’t this just the movie?”

“Give it a second!”

The lady promised she would help her get to the ball if that was what she wished. Despite her suspicions, the girl earnestly declared that all she wanted was to see her friend again. And so the kind woman flicked her wrist and the rags the girl had been wearing were replace by a rich ball gown, paired with a glass slippers. The girl thanked her again and again before heading off in search of her lost friend.

“She doesn’t warn her about the time limit?”

“There’s no curfew here, it’s a stupid conflict anyway.”

You couldn’t contain the excitement and adrenaline that flowed through you as you went up the steps of the grand palace. You hadn’t been here since you were a child, when the king’s father still allowed you to visit, and childhood memories flooded your mind. It was difficult to keep your nerves at a reasonable level as you approached the guards at the front gate. By the time you had arrived at the palace, most of the guests were already inside, so you were completely alone when you handed the invitation, hoping the witch had done her work well.

“Enjoy your evening.” They smiled before urging you to step inside. A sense of awe filled you as you walked through the somewhat familiar halls, remembering all the places you and Tsuzuru would hide from the servants, before his title meant anything to you.

You weren’t sure you remembered the way to the main hall, so you followed the noise, hoping you could make your way there.

When you finally stood outside what seemed to be the entrance, you took a few deep breaths before walking forward, determined to see your friend again. When you stepped though the door you quickly realized that the door wasn’t the room’s main entrance, but the top of the grand staircase. Dread filled you as everyone’s eyes fell on you. If it wasn’t for the railing you thought you have fainted right then and there. You breathed in, allowing you hand to wrap around the bracelet the two of you had made so long ago, letting the warm feelings it carried spread through you.

You bowed once before making your way down the stairs, hoping you wouldn’t trip on your dress and make a fool of yourself before the night even started.

The moment you were off the last step, your eyes fell on your step-mother, eyeing you with absolute envy and disgust. You hoped the mask would be enough to conceal your identity.

You walked around the room for a bit, keeping to the less populated areas, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tsuzuru, disappointed to find that he was nowhere to be found.

“Please let this not be for nothing…”

You were about to make your way to the balcony, but a swarm of guests was suddenly in your path, dancing to the waltz the band had just started playing. You frantically looked around, searching for a way out when two arms wrapped around you, pulling you along with the rest of the dancers.

“I guess you’re my partner?” the face of the man that stood before you made your jaw drop. You had thought of so many things to say, but now that Tsuzuru was standing before you, the words seemed to catch in your throat.

“So, uh, are you having fun?” he was as awkward as you remembered. Something about the familiarity filled you with a sense of calm. I found him.

“I am now.” It was hard to contain the smile quickly spreading around your face.

“Actually I was-“that was when it was time to switch partners. When you felt his hand slip from yours, panic flooded through you. No… I didn’t have the chance to tell him.

As he pulled his hand away, his fingers brushed the bracelet on your wrist, eyes widening as he was whisked away by another partygoer, realization evident in his features. You tried to get closer, but were quickly taken away by another guest. Your eyes landed on Tsuzuru a few times but the hall was too crowded. It was almost suffocating. You took the first chance to slip out on the balcony, eager to get away from the crowds.

You stood at the railing, letting the air cool down your heated face. He had seen you, but you weren’t sure he would care enough to search. Negative thoughts occupied your mind as you gazed at the land beyond. Maybe this was foolish… He probably barely remembers me… He’s a prince after all. He was more important matter to attend to than a peasant he used to spend his free time with. You felt tears gathering at the corners of your eyes, your own loneliness catching up with you.

“Please don’t cry!” You were shocked to find Tsuzuru standing a few feet away from you, his face flushed and his knees bent. He must’ve been running.

“You’re the girl from back then, aren’t you?” he glanced down at your wrist, pulling up his own sleeve to reveal a bracelet identical to yours.

“Y-you kept it.” Your voice cracked, barely audible in the midst of the ongoing celebrations.

“Of course I did! It meant a lot to me.” The words seemed to call to something inside you and so you let the tears fall.

“W-what did I do? Please don’t cry!” he took a step closer, still unsure of what boundaries existed between you.

“I-I can’t help it. I’m just so happy!” you wrapped your arms around him, not caring who saw you. All that mattered in that moment was that the two of you were reunited at last.

“I missed you.” You couldn’t see his face, but you could tell he was crying too, by the way his heart beat against your, the way his hands shook, still wrapped around you in a tight embrace. Year’s worth of loneliness and regret spilled out of the both of you in a single moment.

You stayed like that for quite some time, allowing the relief to wash over you. When you looked at each other again, you couldn’t help but laugh at your state. You knew the scene must look ridiculous to any outside spectators, but none of them mattered. It felt like you were alone in the world, no barriers between you. Your class didn’t matter. You were just a boy and a girl who had been reunited.

“ The king was skeptical at first, knowing a commoner queen wouldn’t create any new alliances, but he could see the love his son had for the girl. And so they married. It’s said that the pair practically run down the stairs of the palace after their wedding, eager to get to their honeymoon, their laughter echoing through the streets.”

“That’s an ending befitting a prince Muku reads about in manga… I still don’t see where I fit into this… ”

“Fine. As they descended the staircase, the prince fell on his ass, causing even more laughter from the girl. A moment she would never let him forget.” You couldn’t help but laugh at the earnest look on Tsuzuru’s face. He may be clumsy, but he has always been kind.

“It will need a lot modifications, especially considering the fact that none of us can exactly pull off female roles, but it could work.” At some point through the story Tsuzuru seemed to have pulled out a notebook, in which he was now scribbling away.

“Are you seriously taking notes?” he was still focused on the story, not letting the inspiration go to waste.

“Of course I am. You’re brilliant!” he pulled you in for a kiss, taking you completely by surprise.

“You’re the best.” He turned back to his note taking, leaving you with flushed cheeks and a bright smile.

“You too.”

And they lived happily ever after.
