A3! Event Story Translation “Blessed Memories” [ Epilogue: Beneath the Soap Bubbles ]

Nawww they had too much fun acting out a proposal to Izumi I don’t think any of y’all are ready (is the one that wasn’t ready)

-

Izumi

(The soap bubble surprise was a huge success! I’m glad to see them so happy.)

Jin

We better get changed out of these clothes.

Miki

That’s right.

Everyone, I really can’t thank you enough for today.

Then, please excuse us.

Azuma

Yes, thank you for today too.

Izumi

…... The wedding ceremony really was wonderful.

Hisoka

They both looked so happy.

Chikage

…... They sure did.

Kumon

Director, can I post our outfits on Inste?

Izumi

Sure, why not. It’s a special case this time around, since I don’t think we’ll ever be able to show our costumes and play again today.

Posting a lot on social media might make a lot of people happy.

Yuki

I wanna show off our costumes to other people too.

Sakyo

That’s right.

Kumon

Then let’s all line up and take a picture together! Since we’re all here, let’s put director in the shot, too!

Izumi

No, no, I’m good. I’ll just take the pic.

Yuki

…... Wait, where’s Azu-nee?

Hisoka

He was here a moment ago.

Chikage

Aaaand looks like he’s back.

Sakyo

Oi, where did you run off to?

Azuma

Sorry, sorry, I went and borrowed this for a moment.

Hisoka

A bouquet?

Yuki

Heh, cute.

Izumi

What are you gonna do with that?

Azuma

I thought since we’re taking pics, I borrowed one from the staff.

Izumi

I see, it’d make for a great photo if someone had it!

Azuma

No, this is for you, director.

Take this and we’ll take a pic.

Izumi

Eh, me? But......

Chikage

Can we do it one-on-one?

Kumon

Yeah yeah! Let’s take a pic together, director!

Azuma

Now, here’s your bouquet.

Izumi

Thank you very much, then......

Azuma

Mhm.

Azuma

Aah...... I knew it, it looks really good with you, Izumi.

Izumi

Eeh!

Azuma

I love your smile, your voice...... your everything. Izumi, you cutie, will you be my bride?

Izumi

…...!

A-Azuma-san?

Azuma

Fufuu, there’s no need to look so surprised. We’ve done this kind of etude in front of a wedding venue before. *

Kumon

That’s right, Muku mentioned that during the bride’s three-game match. Everyone did an etude like a marriage proposal.

Hey hey, the atmosphere and everything is perfect, let’s have director play the bride and we’ll follow suit!

Izumi

Eeh!?

Yuki

Haa? For what. 

Kumon

Right, the scenario’s literally laid out for us!

Azuma-san was really cool and director was so cute with her bouquet, I wanna see everyone else’s etude too!

Azuma

Fufu, I also wanna see it.

Yuki

Even Azu-nee......

Kumon

Yeah! Come on, Yuki!

Yuki

Haa...... guess I got no choice.

Yuki

…... I’ll keep on making you prettier and prettier with my own hands.

Hey, when you’re by my side, you can put on the best wedding dress I’ll ever make.

Izumi

!

Kumon

Wow! It’s cute but cool at the same time! That’s what I’m talking about~!

Chikage

Yup, nice one, Yuki.

Kumon

All right! My turn!

Kumon

Izumi-san, I’ll definitely make you happy......!

And I love you! Please marry me!!

Yuki

For real, he’s so straightforward.

Hisoka

Think it really conveys how Kumon feels.

Azuma

The proposal’s got moxie to it.

Kumon

Hehe, thanks! Next up, Hisoka-san it’s your turn!

Hisoka

Me?

Hisoka

…...You’re so pretty. It honestly feels like a dream. Thank you for being my bride.

Let’s stay together forever.

Sakyo

Guess it’s nice to be straightforward.

Azuma

Yeah, it’s pleasant and easy. There’s no need to be shy.

Yuki

You’re up next, Chikage.

Izumi

(Chikage-san, I don’t think he’s into this kind of stuff......)

Chikage

Come on, don’t look at me like that.

Chikage

…... You’re beautiful, Izumi.

You’re my someone, who fills me up with warm and loving feelings.

I vow to protect you with all that I am.

Kumon

Wow! That was so friggin’ cool!

Yuki

What a show-off.

Not bad, I guess.

Hisoka

It’s your turn, Sakyo.

Sakyo

Sigh. geez......

Sakyo

You’re very special to me. I’ll never let go of your hand...... I want to live with you.

Let’s get married.

Azuma

Fufuu, it’s nice to convey how you feel.

Hisoka

Yeah, same here.

Kumon

It makes me feel like an adult, I like it......!

Izumi

(Haa, I’m still shy about these things...... no matter how many times it’s happened......!)

     *beep*

Izumi

Eh?

Yuki

What was that sound?

Kumon

Hehe! Everyone looked so cool so I took a video! Muku’s gonna be soooo stoked to see this——

Yuki

Haa!?

Sakyo

Delete that right now.

Kumon

Eh—!! But it was so cool......!

Yuki & Sakyo

DELETE IT!

Azuma

Now, now.

Hisoka

Snore...........

Izumi

Ahahaha......

Chikage

Just don’t ever show it to Masumi by mistake.

Story clear!

Previous Chapter [ Ch 10 ]

[currywaifu]

𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: barbie movies as troupe plays part 1 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: sfw

𝐚𝐧: if you think i won’t do all 36 barbie movies, you’re wrong. regardless of whether people want this or not. i have barbie brainrot 24/7. i’m just separating it into parts so it’s not too long *this isn’t meant to be that serious y’all my reasons vary from legit to just jokes

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥: i won’t go in-depth with any plot differences from movie to play, or how the characters would work out... for now *chuckles in future ppt*

𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏: nutcracker, rapunzel, swan lake, princess and the pauper, fairytopia series, magic of pegasus, barbie diaries, island princess, three musketeers 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: coming soon 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟑: coming soon

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! spring x autumn. one of the seasonal events/scouts for A3! has a nutcracker theme, and to avoid spoilers that’s all i will say :3

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: since this is based on barbie’s take on the nutcracker, changing up the cast from what tsuzuru had in plan:

clara/sugarplum fairy: sakuya. i want to see him go through a costume & hair transformation sequence, not gonna lie. 

nutcracker/prince eric: juza. obviously he has to be the ruler of the land of sweets.

mouse king: sakyo or chikage. i want one of them to wave around a sceptre and say quotes like “i’ll reduce the Nutcracker to a pile of splinters"

pimm: taichi... pimm is a spy :O who has to do dirty work :O but the real reason is i just want taichi to follow around sakyo again or maybe even chikage this time lol

major mint & captain candy: tsuzuru and citron respectively. mint is pretty serious and awkward, candy is a lot friendlier- i just think it’ll be a good way to insert some humor in the play

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! summer x autumn.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: rapunzel in this one actually is the “servant” of gothel. also, rapunzel has a magical paint brush and also there’s dragons. who are purple. 

rapunzel: kazunari. obviously. actually, kazu has a lot of similarities with her: a good artist, patient, adventurous, quick thinking, hardly ever complains- also he’d look good with long hair i think ><

gothel: omi. there is an action fighto scene + also just the theme of omi playing villains lol... also THERE’S A SCENE WHERE GOTHEL PRETENDS TO BE RAPUNZEL BY WEARING A LONG WIG AND BOI- KAZU AND OMI’S BODY BUILDS ARE SO DIFFERENT BUT IT’D BE FUNNY IF THE PRINCE FALLS FOR THE TRAP ANYWAY

penelope: kumon. a PURPLE funny and clumsy dragon- fight me, the only answer is kumon especially once you see who’s next.

hugo: juza. a PURPLE dragon who’s penelope’s dad but he’s gonna be the older bro in this one (i wonder why...) 

hobie: a passive and worrisome rabbit... Tenma.

prince stefan: he also has a couple fight scenes... ngl bc stefan has blue eyes, light brown hair + described by the wiki as “fierce”, he’s banri. 

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: winter troupe. i will stand by this forever. 

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: this is like one of the ones i’ve had figured out for a while already...

odette & odile: tsumugi. i’m just saying, tsumugi’s duality- he can do both the white and black swan because he has power. impact.

prince daniel: not tasuku bc spare him the prince roles he’s sick of it. guy. why guy? because he obviously has a good idea of how to act like a prince :3 

rothbart: HOMARE! I WANT! THIS MAN! TO PLAY THE ANTOGONIST! GO OFF ABOUT DARK ARTS! TRANSFORM EVERYONE TO ANIMALS LIKE THE EXTRA BEING YOU ARE.

fairy queen: azuma. ugh just- imagining how ethereal he’d look.

erasmus: tasuku. he’s a troll that can act mean, but is genuinely kind and helpful... also, the VA of erasumus is also the VA for “unnamed burly villager” and i’m just saying-

kelly the cygnet: hisoka. there’s too many animal children, so hisoka is gonna be the baby swan. uwu. also, kelly has a quote, “I can't sleep.” and wOW THE IRONY

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: WE’RE GOING FOR THE COMEDIC ROUTE WHAT’S UP SUMMER. reason: i went “wait... no actor really looks super alike though.”

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: tafahfuoahoaf it’s my favourite barbie movie... OKAY SO THE RUNNING GAG OF THIS IS THAT THE PRINCESS & PAUPER DON’T LOOK ALIKE, BUT EVERYONE KEEPS GOING “Wow! you two look so identical!” no they don’t

anneliese: muku. first of all please look at the sprite i used in the header. anneliese = pink = muku. she’s the sweet princess archetype... but in this version she also goes on tangents about rocks and mineraLS AND HOW THE MINING INDUSTRY SUX AND THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY OF-

erika: kumon. first of all, the sprite in the header again. erika = blue like ugh this is perfect. ALSO erika has a cat who BARKS and i just imagine kumon talking to her cat like: WOOF WOOF WOOF GRRR GRRR and the dog responding and everyone in the palace going wtf

king dominick: i had such a crush on him anyway he’s tenma. rich, young, talented king who disguises himself as a page so he can find love for realsies. im just saying. he won’t be tenma’s only role tho ><

julian: kazunari. the wiki went “he’s the only bestfriend a barbie MC ever married” really shook me like ugh friendship dynamic between muku and kazu roles??? also kazu’s genuinely smart so him as the tutor was just gucci in my eyes

preminger: misumi. FIRST OF ALL PREMINGER IS ICONIC? WHEN HE SANG HOW CAN I REFUSE I WAS LIKE UGH KING. i just wanna hear misumi play an antagonist that’s also funny and do things with his voice.

madame carp: yuki. a bossy and rich woman who owns a dress emporium. pretty much it.

nick & nack: YUKI AND TENMA. THEY WILL DOUBLE ROLE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING MISUMI’S DUMB UNDERLING DUO

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: spring troupe. i wanna see them have wings uwu.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: just gonna combine the whole fairytopia series into one 

elina: itaru. first of all, pink motif. also i just like the idea of itaru being this recurring protagonist.

bibble the puffball played by kamekichi

laverna: recurring villain citron. for no reason other than i think it’s cool when he plays power hungry villains

enchantress: i just want sakuya to play a role that’s more of a “powerful character” but still really kind uwu. another recurring good guy.

azura & glee: tsuzuru. elina is azura’s apprentice, and glee is a friend who’s generally really happy... ngl, i wanna see tsuzuru play someone more energetic for funsies

nori: masumi. nori is kind of a stubborn and jealous person at first, him and elina won’t get along right away BUT DAMMIT THE ENEMIES? TO FRIENDS IS GUCCI!!! 

merman prince nalu & linden: chikage... yeah i just gave chikage the guy roles ngl... but i wanna see chikage as a handsome merman AND handsome fairy so *shrugs*

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: cross troupe. spring x winter.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: partially based on the ice-skating cards (i have yet to read the event story, unfortunately).

annika: tsuzuru. i thought it’d be fun to cast tsuzuru as a more sheltered character due to annika’s parents’ protectiveness. the contrast y’all.

shiver: sakuya. shiver is a polar bear cub sidekick who’s friendly and likes shiny things and that’s just... really cute... put bear ears on sakuya...

brietta: guy. brietta is annika’s older sister... who got transformed into a pegasus by the villain... i wonder how they’d change the pegasus thing lol

wenlock: tasuku. NOT GONNA LIE- i want tasuku to play the villain for all these wonderful one-liners: "Oh, smile! You didn't lose a daughter; you've gained a pet!", and "I thank my lucky stars I didn't marry you!"

prince aidan: masumi bc i want more roomie interaction on stage i mean their friendship keeps getting cuter and cuter.

cloud queen: azuma... that’s all. i just remembered her bc her hair has a braided crown, and i went “azuma braided hair brainrot”

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: mixed troupe! summer x autumn.

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: i was gonna make it full autumn, but then the age casting felt awkward since they’re in high school...

barbie: taichi. barbie here is shy but wants to stop blending in the background! i just went “damn that do be resonating”. also i wanna hear taichi sing more y’all and barbie is a singer/guitarist here

courtney: azami. i like the idea of azami playing a spunky character who’s more of a tomboy, but still does like fashion and accessorising and... lip gloss?

tia: misumi? tenma? idk the intelligent and passionate archetype is very broad... especially in a high school setting

kevin: kazunari. just the whole best friend thing + kevin being a goofy person who loves to make ppl laugh ugh

racquelle: yuki. i know racquelle’s a bully here and say not to bullying... but sharp tongue.

todd: honestly? todd was so boring in the moving. we need someone like banri to give him CHARACTER!... yes that’s my reasoning ugh

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: sUMMER SUMMER SUMMER-

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CASTING? MY REASONINGS FOR THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR ARE SO SHALLOW LMAO

ro/rosella: “a 16 year old girl who can talk to animals! adventurous and brave” me: *gasps* mISUMI-

prince antonio: “prince antonio loves travelling and exploring-” okay yeah it’s kazu...

queen ariana: i just want yuki to sing to me “love is for peasants which we’re obviously not” and i’d go :O also ngl... i wanna see yuki in like darker palettes and plotting to poison all the royals

princess luciana: queen ariana’s daughter... played by muku. because i wanna hear muku counter yuki with “all the shoujo mangas books i’ve read, all the poems always said, that the heart is made to share...”

sagi the red panda & azul the peacock: honestly, just basing it off of colour matching but tenma is sagi and kumon is azul lol

𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞: AUTUMN x SPRING

𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭: AHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CASTING? pt 2 

corrine: i keep wanting to put sakuya in these roles oops. i just... let him sword fight on stage again :>

viveca: purple musketeer, artistic, designs clothes... fights with ribbons... you know, for the sake of banri being a fAshIoNisTa... it has to be banri y’all "Don't mess with the animal print dress!"

aramina: green musketeer, fights with fans, romantic and loves ballet... pfft, for the sake of “wouldn’t it be funny-” it has to be azami. poor bby, having to swoon over romance on stage- he can’t relate

renee: chikage. purely because of that scene where she threw a feather duster (?) at a flying shard of glass and perfectly hit it. yeah.

helene: the old and strict instructor that teaches them how to be musketeers... sakyo.. duh.

philippe: the main antagonist... it has to be omi again. and since philippe has a goatee, we’re bringing back facial hair omi~

prince louis: itaru, lol. he’s like the one significant non-action oriented character in the film. he has just enough moments where itaru still looks princely, but mostly? he just wants humans to fly y’all.

want to order again?

[thatsaweirdwaytospellundead]

The Royal Family’s Beloved Royal Blue 9/11

Summary: Mankai Company agrees to do a performance at a gem exhibition upon request from Tsuzuru’s brother, Tadoru. Citron wants to show a precious gem from Zahra at the exhibition so he entrusts Mika to bring it to Japan. The only problem is there is also a gem thief who follows Mika to Japan….

Note: Please make sure you have read the main story up until Act 8 and Harugaoka Quartet event!

This is a 10 part story with an epilogue.

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [Part 6] [Part 7] [Part 8] [Part 9] [Part 10]

Epilogue “A present for my cute little brother”

Izumi

(Thankfully the performance finished up smoothly. The guests and staff all responded positively.

However I haven’t seen Guy or Mika. I wonder where those two went...)

Citron

Director, you do not have to worry about those two.

Izumi

Oh, Citron.

Citron

In a rare occurrence, Guy did something that wasn’t useless.

Izumi

Huh? What do you-- Do you mean...

Citron

The Zahran thief was gloriously captured!!!

Izumi

....! That’s great!

Chikage

Actually, before the performance, the members had staged a plan alongside Guy and Mika.

Izumi

Is that so?

Azuma

Our main priority is to ensure none of the guests got insured.

So we decided the best thing to do was to capture the guy whilst everyone was gathered around the stage.

Citron

And for the thief, we thought, in order not to raise suspicion, he would follow everyone else into the performance area at the very beginning. We were spot on!

Juza

Yea, and after some time after watching the performance, he left the venue to go steal the gem.

Citron

So during the performance, when I saw him leave the venue, I signaled to the others by saying a line that was not in the script!

Izumi

Ahh, that was that adlib from before!

Muku

Yea, that was it.

Sakyo

And then once the thief reached his hand out to take the gem, Guy and Mika immediately stepped in to capture him.

Also we had to take care not to let the gem get stolen as well as not let the guests notice what was happening.

With Tsuzuru’s brother’s permission, the criminal was quietly handed over to someone from the Zahran royal palace who had come to Japan.

Chikage

I had looked up how the thief had acted in Zahra beforehand and his methods were surprisingly simple. The pattern was easy to read.

Sakyo

You are really not the type of person anyone wants to double-cross.

Chikage

I am quite honoured to receive praise like that from you, Sakyo.

Sakyo

Don’t push it.

Chikage

Haha. Anyway, since the security is also pretty strict, even if we hadn’t interfered, I think the heist would have been equally difficult to pull off.

Izumi

Oh, I see.... I had no idea you all had thought so much about this.

Citron

Director, we also wanted you to focus on our performance.

We also wanted to protect you, that is why we didn’t say a single word about it.

Izumi

Citron..... Yes, thank you.

Azuma

Moreover, the thief left quickly and since you didn’t know you just stayed for the wonderful finale.

Juza

When watching the performance, there are scenes that I saw made you cry.

Citron

Oh! Our performance really pulled at your heartstrings! 

Muku

As expected, our performance moved the hearts of our audience!

Citron

YES!

Guest A

Ah, it’s the cast! Your performance earlier was really lovely!

Guest B

I was also quite moved!

Guest C

But also there were some funny moments that made me laugh!

Guest D

Yeah yeah! I really enjoyed the funny parts and the scenes of warm friendship!

Muku

Wow, thank you so much!!!

Azuma

Fufu, I am happy you all enjoyed it.

Citron

Thank you everyone!

I have something I would like to tell everyone!

To be continued... Read part 10 here!
