#sakyo x izumi

[the-currian]

Wooo long time no A3! post! Saw this in my drafts while listening to a sappy playlist and decided to finish it. Based on the prompt: “I have been in love with you for years.”

This is just tooth rotting fluff and I’m actually super happy with how it came out asdfghjlajalkl I had to take a break while writing bc I could feel myself fangirling.

Anyway, here’s a short Izumi x Sakyo scenario!

- - -

It’s a late night for Izumi and Sakyo as they sit at the dining table, working hard at balancing the logistics of the troupe.

Without warning, Izumi all but flumps her upper body on top of the table.

“Oi!” Sakyo yelps, indignant. “Don’t mess up the files with your nonsense.”

Izumi languidly adjusts her position to shift a deadpan stare at her (business) partner.

“Tired.” she grouses.

Sakyo merely sighs and leaves Izumi to wallow in her own world, resuming his work.

Minutes tick by, and just like clockwork, Izumi’s soft snores start filling in the silence of the night. Simultaneously, Sakyo starts losing his focus, eyes unconsciously drifting over to the object of his affections.

Perhaps its just him being lulled in by the quiet comfort of the early morning hours, but Sakyo feels himself more drawn to his childhood friend than usual, and slowly reaches his hand out to brush Izumi’s hair out of her face.

‘Soft…’ Sakyo’s mind so helpfully supplies him, as he carefully threads his fingers through her brown locks.

As if responding to Sakyo’s gentle actions, Izumi leans further into his touch as well as she can while still fast asleep on the table.

Sakyo suddenly feels his heart seize with a great affection and closes his eyes, taking deep breaths. He inwardly allows himself a moment of weakness - a moment of vulnerability - and lets the warmth spread throughout his body.

He is all too familiar with this feeling - this mind-blowing endearment that takes over him every so often whenever he finds himself a little too introspective.

Sakyo is snapped out of his musings when Izumi suddenly opens her eyes, her gaze fixed on his, still with some traces of sleepiness present but alert nonetheless. Sakyo is helplessly pinned by her gaze as he continues to carefully comb through her hair with his fingers.

A sleepy smile takes over Izumi’s face. “That feels nice.”

Sakyo makes a noncommittal hum in response, but doesn’t stop.

Izumi’s eyes scan his face, and Sakyo can’t find it in himself to look away. They continue like this for awhile in the silence, both of them carried away by the ambience they’ve found themselves in.

“You know, Sakyo,” Izumi elects to break the quiet, using a low voice as if being careful not to scare him off. “Treat a girl like this, and she might start to get the wrong idea.”

Sakyo’s hand stills, but he doesn’t pull away. “…What kinds of ideas?”

Izumi lightly places her hand over his hand that is still entangled in her hair. “Things that aren’t always said out loud, but things you can hear in the silence,” she bites her lip before whispering, “Ideas about… love.”

Sakyo’s heart skips a beat and he feels his face warm, probably mirroring Izumi’s own reddening face. Carefully - almost reverently - he takes her hand and entwines it in his. Sakyo slowly brings Izumi’s hand to his lips, and presses a soft kiss against it.

“And what if I told you,” Sakyo mumbles, his lips still pressed to Izumi’s hand, “That I have been in love with you for years.”

Izumi’s eyes widen, then crinkle as she beams at him, pure unadulterated affection reflected in her eyes that Sakyo has no doubt is reflecting back at her just the same in his.

|☆Chapter 1| |☆Chapter 2|

Chapter 111:

Spring is...back?

You're trying to catch your breath. Both of your hands are now gripping tightly in your sling bag as you stand still beside a lamp post where your big sister holds onto for dear life. Your chest huffs and puffs and continues to seek for air to fill your deprived lungs

"Nee-san, are you sure we can find new members here?" It's the first thing you said before she looked up to you. You can see her drained face like the life inside of her has been sucked out, her grip is still on the lamp post as she motioned her other hand to wait for her answer. "I told you to slow down! I almost tripped on my feet earlier, you know!" you scolded your big sister, to which she just laughed off as her way of apologizing between her nonstop pants. The two males had just finished catching their breaths and are now looking concerned at the two of you

"Is she-"

"She's okay, Matsukawa-san, sorry for making the two of you worry" You swiftly turned your whole body to them with a reassuring smile whilst your hands are kept behind your back and bowed respectfully for causing such a ruckus, right now you're trying to distract them from your sister—who's now at the verge of dying but she can't just die yet, you still have a mission to accomplish!

A few minutes had passed, you decide to look behind your shoulder when your big sister finally replies to you, "Trust your big sister on this, (Y/n). I promise you I'll do the best that I can!" She proudly said with her hand pressing on her chest

"Ahhhh, this will save our agency!" Matsukawa cried out of happiness, the other boy couldn't hide his smile while he looked at the two of you

Now that you remember it, haven't the two of you met before arriving at the theater? You were confused as to why he acts as if you weren't there, you felt a pain in your chest as you dramatically closed your eyes while your lips formed a pout, you were lost in your own thoughts until you heard a familiar voice near you

"Hey! I'm sorry I couldn't find the perfect timing to talk to you earlier, but I'm so glad that we met again!!" You heard his cheery voice, the one that held so much passion earlier on stage, you opened your eyes and turned your head to your side, your eyes met his that matched the color of his beautiful dark-pink hair, together with his lovely smile that illuminated an exact replica of how each and every flowers bloom every time spring season arrives. He held so much joy that you can feel yourself hallucinate cherry blossoms blooming around his face, just like the first time you met

"I also couldn't find the perfect timing to talk to you, but I'm also glad to meet you again. I was also surprised to find out that we're actually going to the same location" you curved your lips into a small smile; a gentle one, he chuckled to your reply, "I was really surprised I saw you from the audience! How's my performance?" He was quick to switch the topic as he cannot wait any longer for your comment. "It was good! The talking parrot surprised me for a bit but you're good at acting, I think you just need some more experience and also members" his cheeks slightly turned pink and thanked you upon hearing your personal remark, he didn't know but just hearing it from you makes him feel like he doesn't need anyone's comments anymore; yours is the only acceptable one, but he brushed it off as he thought that's a bit too selfish to think about for someone he just met

Izumi clapped her hands to gain the other three's attention, to which she successfully did. "Come on now, everyone. There's no time for us to feel safe" she starts to walk away and motions her hands to follow her steps, "We have to find new members, we can't let him know we're just lying!"

And with that, you heard the manager scream as if his life was going to end now, actually, you knew this was coming so you covered your ears, you can't help but to look around after that, seeing lots of eyes looking at him weirdly for causing such a scene

"W-WHAT?! L-LIE? IT WAS ALL A LIE?!"

"It was more like a street act than a lie" your big sister pouts her lips in pure disappointment as he corrected him, I mean it shattered her heart knowing that thing wasn't considered a top-tier acting even though the first time she acted was in elementary

You averted your eyes from the two males, you know very well you're your big sister's accomplice because this feels more like a crime than a lie

"S-so our agency will actually be demolished?" You turned your head to the dark-pink haired boy-that-you-still-don't- know-the-name-until-now-because-it-kept- slipping-out-of-your-mind as his voice cracked, 'He's about to cry, nee-san! It's all your faulttt' you can see how his eyes attempted to tear up. The manager crouched down as he kept crying, not giving care about the people who came across him in this state

"We have to find new members to cancel it" Your big sister begins to look around for someone who looks interested in acting, "I don't think you can find someone who wants to act just by looking at their clothes and their aura alone, nee-san, that's called being judgemental" your sister tried to ignore your words as she kept her eyes on the lookout and her lips whistling as if to block your voice. "Nee-san!" You shouted as she began to sneak away from you and you caught her in action, "Don't act like you didn't hear me!" She tried to laugh it off but you gave her an unimpressed look

"I don't know what I can do, but please let me help too!" The boy politely interrupted as he openly rests his hand to his chest, 'Well atleast we have another help' you sighed in relief. Your sister, on the other hand, cooed at the boy's offer as she dramatically wiped a non-existent tear from her eyes, her hands clasped together and she approached the said boy

"What a sweet boy!" She unexpectedly ruffled the boys' hair, to which surprised the latter. Then she was quick to switch to pinching both of his cheeks which earned an uncomfortable groan from him, you tried to hide your laugh as the poor boy from your sister's grasp was trying his best to seek help. She stopped as she apologized to the boy who had his cheeks puffed up red and swollen

"Ah! By the way, I'm Tachibana Izumi and this is my little sister Tachibana (Y/n), what's your name?" She asked, atleast it didn't slip through your sister's mind, she saved you from it, you scooted closer to your sister as you mumbled a small, "It's nice to meet you"

"My name is Sakuya Sakuma. "Saku" as in "Bloom" Nice to meet you!" He happily bowed just like you did

Now that everything is settled, in the meantime, and now that you finally know his name, all you can worry about is how you and your big sister will find new members and bring it to Furuichi by sunset. You think that the three of you are depending on your big sister, but you don't want her to take all the responsibility, you're also here for a purpose, and you don't want your sister to take all of the problems and burdens and keep it to herself, you want to prove that she can also depend on you when it comes to situations like this. And with that, you decided that it's time for you to speak up and let them hear your own suggestion

"I think that if we need new members, we need to promote the agency. We need to start by showing them what we can provide and what makes the Mankai Company better than the others!"

"That's a great idea! What can the Mankai Company provide?" Your little sister happily agreed with your idea and turned his attention to Matsukawa, this of course boosts your pride as you can't help but smile so idiotically, you just wished someone won't catch you in the act for this kind of concerning behaviour

"The Mankai Company provides a personal dorm for members, and they get to eat my cooking, two times, day and night!!" Matsukawa proudly replied, atleast now he can show off how good of a cook he is

"Well that doesn't seem too bad now, is it? Let's proceed with that!" Izumi hummed in agreement, feeling really motivated, "Lil sis, you'll be the interviewer and we'll be managers in charge of the auditions, okay?" She added, which horrified you. "What?! Why me?!" You whined as you tried to protest, but to no avail, your big sister doesn't let this one slip out and ignores your childish cavil. You simply just moved on about it as you had no other choice but to do it, it's for the sake of your father's agency, although you're a bit too hesitant to go all the way just for it to be saved, you know your sister's true to her words when she told Furuichi just how persistent she is at cancelling the demolition, and you don't want to crush all of her hardworks. It won't be for too long, so trust your big sister on this

"The recruitment for Mankai Company starts now! And the audition for new members will start" You purposely made your voice a little bit louder than normal so you would successfully gain the attention of random passersby. Although, given this to be your first ever street act, you can't avoid the shakiness and cracks of your voice, making you more embarrassed than you were before, it cringed you honestly, but you're ready to take risks, just for the agency to be in peace

"First! My name is Sakuya Sakuma, 17 years old!" His voice came out shaky too, it seems like no matter how hard he tries to act very confidently, his actions do the opposite effect and he hates it, he wants to show everyone how exciting and how fun performing can be but he guessed maybe now's not the right time, not when he still lacks experience

The street act went smoothly, in your perspective, you know very well the passersby are in complete contrast with your view, about your own story, and even though you get strange looks from random people, you've begun to grow tired of others misjudging you at first glance

"What's that?"

"Oh my, that looks awful"

"Is that supposed to be a street act?"

"Is it a part of a punishment game?"

You can see how your sister's face gloomed, which worsened the supposedly lively and cheerful mood you all had, "Oh...no one even gathered around us" It was like you both could read each other's minds and decided to drop the act right after she saw how ashamed you must have felt while looking around, seeing no one took any interest in your performance (except for one). You risked your dignity and sanity for this and yet no one was there to even watch it longer? Not fair, not fair at all

The streets were back to normal, almost as if nothing had happened. You silently walked out from the rest, looking around to examine the structures of different shops, you noticed a sidewalk, a bit higher than the street you were into so it's clearly above. It was right in front of you in a small alleyway, just between two tall shops. There, you noticed a single person leaning their arms on the sidewalk's pavement fence, is he looking at you? Maybe? But if he's focused on you then, maybe he's interested, it feels like he's been there for a while, but oh well! It won't hurt to try and ask so you let your feet lead your way to the strange guy

'Let's just hope he likes acting'

"Excuse me, are you perhaps interested in acting?" You went in the alleyway on the other side of the road as you raised your head to look up to him, he was startled for a bit when you started talking to him—his cheeks slowly burning and a dust of pink can be seen if you pay close attention

"E-ehh? Uhmmm.." his lips moved a little but his voice can't be heard, it seems like he was mumbling something to himself but you can't really hear it because of the distance between you and him

"Maybe you saw our performance, or maybe not, but right now we're in desperate need of new members-"

"(Y/n)! What are you doing over there?" You were quick to turn your head when you heard your sister call you out, they crossed the road to get to you and were curious to know who you were talking to just now, you are about to explain when Sakuya spoke

"Eh? Masumi-kun? Aren't you Usui Masumi-kun?" He was the first to initiate a conversation with the mysterious guy

"Do you guys know each other?" It was your big sister's turn to ask, and Sakuya was quick to nod in response, also humming with it

"We never talked to each other before, but he is my underclassmen" Sakuya gave out a cheerful smile, while the guy who's named Masumi was much more doing the opposite: he was frowning as he holds the headphones dangling from his neck, attempting to put it back on as he observed us from above

"Who?"

"Masumiiii!" He fake cried, expecting to get Masumi to feel guilty but he felt no remorse at all

"Uhmm..Masumi-kun, if you're interested, why don't you try to join?" Izumi offered, clasping both her hands on the side of her face as she tilted her head to the side, willingly waiting for either his refusal or approval. It went silent for like five seconds before he could muster up the energy for an answer, or rather another question

But before that, he held onto the fence really tight and hopped over it and did a stunt you all didn't expect, you had a mini heart attack from what he did because it was kinda high and it's scary but you're left amazed and impressed at the same time

"Is she also a member?" He was surprisingly calm right after he did that scary stunt. He averted his gaze from everyone else but he kept stealing glances at you every second. Surely, he doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable by his eyes slowly burning a hole through you from all of that gazing and glancing. You don't know but your sister can smell something fishy going around, and she's certain that she can't just let it slide

"Eh?? Oh kids these days..." She sighed at herself while clicking her tongue in disapproval, but the only thing that didn't match her overall behaviour was her smile creeping up, you weren't too happy about it, I mean your big sister is back to being that typical aunt that likes to ship you with almost every boy he met, not to mention her being too similar to that one aunt you both have in your hometown

"Nee-san, you're acting way too similar to auntie Rina" you joked, while giving her the 'I'm tired of this stuff, Nee-san' look, she only replied to you with a knowing smile, thinking that you're just acting too shy about it

"I don't know about that Mas-"

"What are you talking about?! She's one of our boss! Both of them are our directors!" Matsukawa interrupted, which was unexpected and it surprised the two of you because he had been real quiet after that horrible street act

'I haven't even agreed to join yet' Izumi thought but she realized it was too late to back out now, she hopes this won't be too hard of a job

"I will join if she's there" He finalized his words with a quick glance at you, which you didn't quite catch but your big sister was quick enough to nudge your shoulder and tease you

"Really? You'll join?!" Sakuya was too happy to care about how harsh Masumi is to him, he was quick on his feet to run towards him

"I don't care about you"

"That's true, but I'm happy!" He tried to hug him but he was quick to dodge and grabbed Sakuya's hair, pushing him down as Sakuya tried to fight back by grasping his arms

"You hear that (Y/n)? He's so sweet, that boy is sweet"

"Nee-san, pleaseee" you whined, not really in the mood for things such as this

Izumi was having fun teasing you about it, Masumi can't stop looking at you, Sakuya and Matsukawa are way too busy celebrating and here you are, trying your best to stay calm and composed

'What should we do? I didn't even decide to join yet' You bit your lip as you felt your anxiety rising up, can you really handle such a big responsibility?

'But he's our newest member, it feels bad deceiving him, but I guess I should keep it in me for now'

"Entry no.2: Masumi Usui, sixteen years old, my hobby is listening to music, and my reason to join Mankai Company is to support the director"

And right after that, girls swooned around him, completely blocking him from the others, you can see how he's trying his best to break free, which he successfully did, but the girls were still busy sticking to him like some leech, squealing and screaming then and there

"Masumi-kun is so cool!!" Sakuya exclaimed in awe, too stunned with how much effect Masumi has on the girls

"He's well composed, and he's incredibly good" you mumbled as Matsukawa hummed in agreement

It was obvious how irritated he is, with the way his eyebrows furrowed as he looked behind him where the girls were, and it was obvious how his mood quickly changed from irritated to head-over-heels. I swear you're starting to think if this was some sort of prank or act

"Really?"

"EEKKK!" You swear you felt your life was sucked out of you when he suddenly popped out in front, he mumbled out a worried "Sorry" before patiently waiting for your reply

"How's my performance?"

"It was good!"

"Did I do well just now?" You can hear how desperate he is for your answer just by his tone

"Your performance was outstanding-" Matsukawa decided to join in, but was quickly cut off by Masumi himself

"I'm not talking to you" He shot a glare to Matsukawa before taking all of his attention back to you

"Yes! Yes! Just continue doing that!" You replied back, feeling too bad about the manager's cries of sorrows. But honestly, you don't know anymore, you exhaled right after he blushed at your comments and left the scene. Right now you're trying to regain who you are the seconds before the incident. Izumi tried to cover her mouth and keep herself from laughing way too loud, you glared at her as you tried to cover your blush from the close proximity with him minutes ago. You're having a hard time differentiating what's true and what's not

"That was a good performance, Masumi-kun" Your big sister clapped her hands to gain the attention of the two boys across the street, Masumi politely thanked your sister, completely ignoring Sakuya who kept complimenting his performance

You were too relaxed knowing that you found another member that the deadline had slipped out of your mind, you reminded everyone as they came to realization except for Masumi who was a bit confused, but you'll explain the rest later and right now, all of you should run right now because time's running as well. You can see the station where you and your sister came from (Ch.1) and you caught a glimpse of a familiar person who just turned

"Nee-san! I know just the right person to find" you ran off, completely ignoring their calls because you might be too late to stop him

"Hey, (Y/n)!" Izumi groaned when you were nowhere to be seen, she began to panic about the thought of you getting lost because both of you are unfamiliar with this place

"Don't worry, I'll follow her" Masumi dashed away which left Izumi fumbling to find the right words to stop him

"Masumi-kun!" Sakuya was next to run. Izumi and Matsukawa— who were both being tagged into this mess had no other choice but to follow and run too

"PLEASE WAIT!" You don't care anymore, you don't care about attracting the attention of everyone who was there, he's the only last hope you have

"E-eh? Oh! It's you!" You were relieved he already recognized you, as you held onto your legs and pant uncontrollably, earning a worried look from the said male. It took you minutes for your breathing to be back to normal, maybe it'd be best if you never ran from the start

"You said you were looking for a dorm, right?!" He was confused at first but nods to your question

As you were about to introduce your agency, you were left astounded when you heard a familiar voice shouting not too far in front of the station

"PLEASE JOIN MANKAI COMPANY!!! WE PROVIDE DORM AND MEALS TWICE A DAY!!"

"Meals twice a day?!" It was more than enough for him to turn his head to find the source of this generous offer

'It seems like everyone managed to catch up' you sighed in relief as the blue-ish sky had started to slowly turn orange

Event | Sanrio characters x A3! | Chapter 8

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

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

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

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

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

Azuma: Fufu, everyone’s smiling… Oh?

Child: Waa~ah!

Mother: It’s time to go home now.

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

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

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

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

Itaru: That’s def a theme park mood.

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

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

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

Sakuya: …

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

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

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

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

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

Izumi: …Ahaha.

Sakuya: …

Citron: …

Citron: There is something not right with Sakuya today.

Itaru: …You think so too, Citron?

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

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

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

Tsuzuru: I’ll try and talk to him.

Izumi: Me too!

Tsuzuru: Something up, Sakuya?

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

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

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

Tsuzuru: Eh?

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

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

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

Sakuya: …

*Flashback*

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

*Flashback end*

Tenma: Sakuya, you coming or not?

Sakuya: !

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

Sakuya: …

Tenma: …

Sakuya: …Tenma-kun.

Tenma: Hm?

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

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

Tenma: …Depends on the situation.

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

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

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

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

Sakuya: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

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

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

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

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

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

Tenma: No problem.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Banri: …So how’s somethin’ like that?

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

Banri: Thanks.

Banri: Hm? Sakuya?

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

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

Sakuya: …

Banri: Is it about the show?

Sakuya: …Eh.

Banri: Figured.

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

Sakuya: …

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Izumi: …I see.

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

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

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

Sakuya: Eh.

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

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

Sakuya: Ahaha… I guess so.

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

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

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

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

Banri: My bad.

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

Banri: No problem.

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

Sakuya: …Ah.

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

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

Sakuya: …Yeah.

[shiemori-writes]

I'm having some more thoughts, btw if i bother you do let me know okay? :)

BRO I CAN SEE YUKI ABSOLUTELY DRAG VIL.

(there's lots of Vil slander in this ask, i don't fucking like that guy JSHSISGAKAVLMAOO)

Like, if he tries turning him into a second Epel he kinda lets him to a degree, cuz yk he's interested in fashion and stuff but i can see him getting tired at some point, especially if Vil starts forcing etiquette lessons on him. Then things would go south (is that how you say it?? English is not my first lenguage im sorry 😭😭) and they would straight up fight at the dinner table in Pomefiore.

Pomefiore students watching the whole thing unfold:

I can also see him talk shit about Vil with Epel, those two probably bond over that.

I can see Epel being kind of uncomfortable around him at first, cuz yk his insecurities and shit, but after that they could get along kinda ok, i can also see him asking Yuki to make him outfits that make him look more manly at some point. Idk if Yuki would agree tho, Epel would probably shows him the most stereotypical country boy outfit ever only for Yuki to look at it and phisically cringe, if he does agree tho he says he'll do it only if he can put his personal touch into it.

Yuki would probably make him and Deuce his errand boys for when hes working on costumes, which i can see happening because of Crowley's cheap ass💀

I can also see Yuki drag anyone who insults Muku, Izumi and Yuu.

LAST THOUGHT FOR MY SON.

Him making costumes for VDC wheter it's full on stage costumes or just accessories.

Also, Floyd and Masumi??? I CAN KINDA SEE IT?? idk why tho.

Jamil, Kalim, Izumi, Citron and Chikage going crazy over curry. Mainly the last three but yea, Mankai is begging for help, they'll have to eat curry for the 628363926963926 night in a row now.

Oh, and the music club totally organized a serenade for Yuu/Izumi (i put Yuu there too cuz i'm a shameless Masumi simp i'm sorry-).

Sakyo is the one in charge of the dorm btw, like Crowley randomly made Yuu the "dorm leader" in ch.1 maybe going on a speech about "making the students more responsible" but Sakyo saw through his BS and just told Yuu to let him handle it. They still help out ofc but he's the one that manages the finances of the dorm and stuff.

I can also see the adults finding jobs inside outside of campus too for some reason?? Idk what jobs they'd pick tho. Probably the same as the ones in their og world. The ones in hs and uni attend classes and the ones who work just find a job there.

I also saw a comic where they all went at cotsco so now that's canon cause YOU BET Sakyo wouldn't find a supermarket that sells stuff much more cheaper than Sam's.

ACK AORRY FOR NOT REPLYING! just got my report card today hehe (also club training sobs; ive been elected as an officer so im gonna be rlly busy </3) BUT THIS IS SO FUNNYLIKE IMAGINE THE TWO MOST PRETTIEST BOYS TAKKING SHIT ABT TH E VIL SCHOENHEIT and then rook just joining in randomly while vil just scoffs lmaooo (i swear i dont hate vil) AND YUKI MAKING THE VDC COSTUMES?!?! YES PLEASE ID LOVE THAT A3! x TWST WHEN?! CMON DISNEY!!!

The four seasons of Mankai Company

Synopsis: Tachibana (Y/n) and her older sister Tachibana Izumi received a letter that came all the way from a theater company called Mankai company. One day, you both decided to go to the designated destination written at the letter and to meet the mysterious sender, in hopes of finding answers about your father's whereabouts after 8 years of disappearance, only to find the said theater to be in debt from someone!

⚠️Reminders⚠️:

May contain incorrect grammars (English is not my first language)

Will follow the manga, but there will be a lot of changes.

Different flow of story due to two protagonists (you and Izumi)

Reader is 16 while Izumi is 24 (not canon but is considered)

Long ass series so I won't blame you if you get bored the first time you look at it.

P.s: A3! Characters are legally and respectfully owned by Liber Entertainment Inc. and I do not claim them. I only own the changes in the plot of the story.

Chapter 1:

Theater Town

"Wake up (y/n), we're here" you were awoken by a soft pat on your head, you soon realized you were leaning on your big sister's shoulder and fell asleep. You raised your head, stealing a few more seconds to doze off as you yawned and told Izumi just about how good your sleep was as she chuckled at you. A voice can be heard from a large speaker as it announces the train's destination, finally reaching your stop—Veludo station.

Izumi got up first, signalling for you to follow her behind so both of you won't get separated from each other. You began looking around as your sister took out the letter together with the company's exact location.

"So this town really is full of theaters!" You exclaimed in excitement, admiring the colorful triangle banners surrounding the town, together with different theater companies on sight.

"Now that you said it, it really is. The map says the Mankai company is in the corner of Veludo street, I wonder if this is really alright.."

Your sister mumbled the last words, clear enough so that you're the only one hearing it. It seems like she's taking your mother's words seriously about the letter. I mean it's suspicious to find that after all these years, your father's company would still be searching for him.

"I don't even know where that man went! We've already cut ties and it's been 8 years since he left" you can still hear the words your mom said, sounds like she still holds a grudge against your father.

Lost in your own thoughts, you were snapped back into reality when someone accidentally bumped into you, the impact left you both sitting on the floor, hissing at the pain in unison. He was quick to process anything and immediately apologized, offering a hand as soon as he got up—which you thankfully accepted, earning a relieved sigh from the poor boy. He was a cute boy, you guessed he was a little bit older than you or maybe younger than you but who are you to judge, he was very lively-looking, you kinda envy him for it, and not to mention how he looked similar to a ball of sunshine.

He looked like he ran away from someone, or rather finished a whole marathon, some of the strands of his dark-pink hair are sticking to his forehead which concerns you more.

"I'm sorry! I wasn't looking at my way!" He bowed at exactly 90° making you flinch. He stayed like that for almost a minute.

You're going to have to thank him for his politeness (even though he looks way younger than you) but this is too much!

"Ahhhhhhhh! Please raise your head now, it's okay it's okay! You don't have to apologize"

you panicked, continuously looking around as people are starting to stare at the two of you. He raised his head, showing his apologetic expression. He's thankful that you accepted his apology—lips forming into a charming smile as he giggled.

You swear you can see cherry blossoms blooming just around his face, and it made your cheeks surprisingly burn.

Everything went well after that, not until you heard him meek and saw how his eyes widened looking at his wristwatch, it seems like he was late for something and it must've been super important based on his facial expressions. You feel more guilty than you were before.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were going some-"

"Ah no! It was my fault! Sorry, I have to go!" He cut you off as he ran away hurriedly—leaving you processing all the things that happened just a while ago, 'Ah...I forgot to ask for his name' you smacked yourself.

'I forgot to ask for her name!' he thought as he starts to blame himself for not asking such an important thing, 'I just hope we can meet again' he looked through his watch again as he starts to run faster.

You start to look around your surroundings. You didn't even realize your older sister was gone, and she probably didn't even realize you weren't with her anymore.

'what a perfect sibling dynamic' you jokingly thought.

But as soon as you walk through a corner, there she is! Talking to a guy who's crouching on the floor, together with another guy who looks just as concerned as your sister does. I mean who wouldn't be concerned about a guy crouching down on the side of the streets that looks like he's in pain?

You're curious to know what happened, who knows? Maybe it might be best if you judge the situation first based on your understanding and let it live up to your imaginations—maybe it's two guys falling head over heels to your big sister and are fighting for her love the first time they met her exactly on the streets of Veludo way. Yeah, that's probably it!

'I mean I'm not going to blame nee-san if boys fight over for her' you thought, trying to sneak in behind your sister.

"What's happening? Is he okay?" You said, clinging onto your sister's arm, making her see the Gods from above for a second but sooner thank the Gods upon realizing it was just you.

"(Y/n)!" She glared at you, apologizing to her by clinging more tightly. She does nothing but to let it slide for now since she can't do anything about your behaviour sometimes.

"Do adults really like to argue outside the streets?" You asked in curiosity, eyes glued to the scene infront of you—the crouching man before was standing now together with another man. It looks like they were having a complicated conversation.

"That's not it, (y/n)-"

"Hey look, a street act!" The three of you stole a quick glance from the source of voice behind, and realized there were a lot of people watching.

"I saw that guy on the stage before!" A passerby said. "They're so handsome!" Schoolgirls began squealing from the side. Yup, they're definitely popular.

It seems like everyone enjoyed the performance, you won't even deny that both of them are very good at portraying their characters' actions and emotions. Not too long after, both of them bowed in unison, as they thanked all of the people watching them, a full-round of applause was heard as people began tossing lots of coins on a box infront of them, both you and your sister decided to toss coins too to show appreciation as they continuously thanked everyone who showed generosity.

"I didn't even realize that was an act just now" Izumi clapped her hand once as she chuckled to herself, making the guy beside her ask in shock.

"Eh? That was a play?" The light brown-haired guy must've been way more surprised than your sister does.

"Mhm! Actors from theaters usually do these street acts in order to advertise or serve as a fundraising project for their upcoming plays, the scripts are most likely coming only from their ad-libs so it's really impressive once you knew about it" Izumi babbled. Both you and the guy were happy to know about this new discovery. Your nee-san is knowledgeable about things such as this which left you very impressed as she acted not only as an older sister, but also as your second guardian and your teacher.

"As expected from a theater town...I think I need to study more" the guy mumbled something under his breath that you cannot hear quite clearly, but you just shrugged it off even though you are curious to know what it is.

The crouching guy from before apologized to both of them, then the latter began scolding his friend that he came out so slow earlier when they performed.

"Excuse me! Are you now recruiting members for God?" The light brown-haired guy suddenly asked out to the two actors, which both you and your older sister curiously watched from behind.

'Maybe he wants to be an actor too!' you assumed.

You examined the conversation they exchanged—upon discovering, he was looking for a dorm to stay on. You were sad for the guy after hearing that the God troupe doesn't have a dorm. He thanked both of them and parted ways, leaving both of you proceeding to your main objective.

"Now i'm really looking forward to this play after seeing a street act" your sister's eyes beamed in excitement, and you nod to yourself as your eyes beamed as well.

"Romeo Gakuen Heaven.." you mumbled, remembering the play's title when you saw it on the company's map as Izumi—who cannot wait any longer, led the way.

"Mankai theater is supposed to be here, right?"

That was the first thing your older sister questioned, looking up to see a theater infront of you with a huge signboard that says 'Mankai Theater'.

"I mean it's in the signboard up there, so this must be it. We can't be seeing lots of Mankai theaters here when I'm sure father only owns a single one"

"But this one is...honestly crumbling" although you're hesitant whether it's right to comment about the appearance, she's got a point. It looks like it holds a LOT of history.

"There's no sign of people even though there is a play today, is this really fine?" Izumi added, slowly pacing back and forth while lost in her own thoughts, unable to comprehend the things happening today. Was it a prank? Or probably the wrong map? But it can't be, the signboard literally says the theater and the company both of you are looking for.

Because of this, your conversation with your mom suddenly came into mind, again.

"The letter said it's from the Mankai company" you said, handing it out for your older sister to see.

"Mom! Mankai company is dad's theater, right? The sender might know something about where dad is!" Izumi said as she called out for your mom, waving the letter for her to see.

"Maybe if we meet, we'll definitely know something!" She added, insisting to know your mother's response.

"Then do it by yourself because mom doesn't know and-"

"Can I go with you, nee-san?"

"You're not allowed to go with your big sister, (Y/n). You still have classes to attend tomorrow!" Your mother stated, too busy to look behind her to see your disappointed expression—arms crossed, pouted lips, and furrowed eyebrows.

"Can't she just transfer to another school? One that's near enough to the company? In that way we won't have to go back here and go back there" Izumi suggested, even though it sounds too much trouble to handle all of it, your mother only replied with an annoyed sigh, one that secretly makes you celebrate early.

"I'll take care of her, trust me on this mom" she added, smiling at your mother as she looked over through her shoulder to look at both of you, rethinking whether she will choose the right decision on this.

"I hope you won't give too much trouble to your nee-san, (Y/n). I'll let this slide but if I ever receive a letter that you skip classes without my watch, I'll be forcing you to go back home here, got it?" Mother warned you, glancing at the two of you back-to-back as you both nod in unison. You thanked your mother—hugging her as Izumi joined too.

You were back to the Earth as you looked down at the letter in your hand and turned it around to examine it.

"I didn't notice the sender's name was here. Nee-san, do you know who's Matsukawa Isuke?" You questioned, to which she replied back instantly.

"I don't know who that person is but I'm curious to know what kind of relationship they have with dad"

You were about to reply back to your sister when a voice suddenly spoke out, it made you flinch, while Izumi looked behind in a flash.

"Hey, do the two of you need something from this theater?" Now it's your turn to looked behind. It's an adult man with blonde hair and glasses, and if you tend to look closely and carefully, he has an attractive mole under his right eye. 'He's good looking yet he's intimidating' you thought.

"Matsukawa-san?" Izumi said in a low and hesitant tone. Wait! He must be the sender of the letter, and with that you stand next to your sister which made the blonde-haired man slightly raise his one eyebrow.

"You must be that person we're looking for, right mr.?" You asked, patiently waiting for his reply as you felt a ray of hope was there and you can almost reach it, but unexpectedly, it made him react the opposite of what you imagined.

"HAHH?!" He reacted. You can clearly tell by the looks of his face that it's the wrong person, you squeaked and your body felt frozen because of fear.

But his face suddenly changed when he glanced over at your sister's face and looks like he found something, which weirded you out.

"Wait aren't you.."

"Okay wrong person, nee-san! I repeat, wrong person!" You carefully but hurriedly grab both your sister's shoulders to back her up from the mysterious person who kept looking at her like he's going to devour her, your big sister only stood there as she nervously laughs, sweat slowly forming on her forehead.

"Sorry, we got the wrong person. It's not like we received any letter! We're just passersby letter A-B!"

You began panicking, not having any choice but to agree with your sister's choice of words. It was obvious but there's no backing away now. Whoever this man really is, you know he's got something to do with this theater!

"If you don't want to encounter a dangerous sight, it's best for the two of you to leave quickly. People who don't have any businesses here are not needed".

It was the last thing you heard before the ground began shaking, and a loud noise could be heard going nearer as you felt scared and decided to cling onto your sister. The latter gripped your hand tighter in a way that will assure you that everything's fine. And there goes a huge excavator that was coming towards the theater! Where did that even come from?! And why is it going forward?! And who is this man trying to destroy the theater?!

Your eyes widened, both you and your sister are surprised that this would take an unexpected turn of events.

"Wait wait wait!! Please stop!! STOP!!!" A pleading-crying voice can be heard as another mysteriously looking guy with a rather ragged outfit came running very fast in an attempt to stop the excavator, but the scary blonde guy ignored the other as he instructed something to the one driving the excavator, the latter even called him 'Aniki!' so they were accomplices after all!

"Do it, Sakoda. Make sure you completely destroy the signboard, this will be fully demolished after and reconstructed into a bar-"

"H-hey! What are you doing!?" Izumi suddenly blurted out, there's no other way but to talk it out and that's the only help she can think of.

"I just told you it'd be dangerous, didn't I?" He replied back, looking behind to steal a glance at the two of you, you can't do anything as your feet felt numb, almost as if you're stuck and unable to speak, but your hand kept a firm grip on your big sister's arms as she argued with the blonde man.

"I beg you Furuichi-san! Please stop it!!!" The poor guy wasted no time and bowed, he stayed like that for minutes and completely began to sink lower and lower until his forehead became in contact with the floor, 'the theater must be super important to this guy' you looked down on him in pity, surely there must be some way we can help him, he might be the person we are looking for.

"You're the one who said that if you can't pay all of your debts by the end of the show, I'll have to use force here!"

"Today is our main show!" He cried out, looking up at the blonde guy, who looks down on him in dissapointment.

"I could pay at least the interest if I can get money from this performance! Just please think this over and let's talk!" He continuously cried out, being really vulnerable infront of him. It looks like there's no way of getting into him until he sighs in annoyance and gives another instruction from his accomplice.

"Sakoda, stop"

"Yessir!"

As soon as the blonde haired guy named Furuichi-san stopped talking, the pitiful guy sighed in relief and stood up but soon got tense again when Furuichi wrapped his arms around his shoulder, making the pitiful guy petrified.

"How many tickets have been sold?"

"Zero!"

"How about the full-house tickets?"

"Also zero!"

"What time is the performance?"

"3 minutes by now!"

The pitiful guy ended his sentence in a nervous laugh as Furuichi doesn't look a little bit amused by his answers.

"Sakoda, do it"

"Yessir!!"

"WAIT!! WAIT! THE AUDIENCE ARE ABOUT TO COME!!" He said as he begged again, lots of crying noises can be heard as he purposely tried his best to leave the theater untouched for any damage, although it looks like it's gonna break by itself.

'This is too much to handle!! God please help this poor guy!' you cried out in your mind, the cries of the pleading guy and the cruelty of a guy who doesn't look like he'll show mercy at any time is too much for your heart to handle, this is pure torture!

"Where are they?"

"Errr...uhmm..ahhh"

"Why do I feel like we're being stared at..." Your older sister muttered, her body stood still like a mannequin as her face made a weird expression.

Your hand made its way to fidget on the hem of your skirt, looking down as you slowly backed away, hiding behind your sister.

Izumi might have seen your movements as a sign of telling her to help him, you might look tough at first but sometimes you're at a loss of words. That's why she took up all the courage and decided to speak up.

"The audiences are right here" She defended, pressing her hand on her chest in a way she can present herself, while you remained hiding.

"SEE?! T-THEY'RE HERE!!" The ragged-looking guy's face switched into pure excitement, too loud in your opinion but you understand his situation if you were in his shoes, you'd definitely be too hype.

"Didn't you just say that you're just a passersby A and B?" He clicked his tongue.

"We have the flyer as proof!" You showed him the flyer. It was the theater's exact performance for today which you're really looking forward to.

It seems like it's enough proof to present, he sighed in defeat. "A few more audiences might still be on their way here, it'd be a total waste if we didn't get to watch the performance" you added, hoping it could warm this cold-hearted man.

"Did you even watch this theater's recent performance?" He asked, his purple eyes piercing a hole through you. It's truly agonizing to feel little sometimes.

"No..I don't?"

"That's what I thought"

"But this place. It feels familiar.." Izumi joined in the conversation, clutching her hands in her sling bag. She looked at the large banner right above the signboard—Deja vu coming through her, "It's like I've been here when I was little" She added.

"I see.." he pondered as his eyes landed on your older sister. You're really really sure for yourself that he LOVES to pierce a hole through anyone with how sharp his gazes are. It's scary.

"PLEASE WATCH OUR SHOW! WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER AND IT'S GOING TO BE HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE!" The ragged-looking man begged, desperately crying out as you swore you felt you ear ring just now.

"So you got a new recruit?"

"THAT'S RIGHT!!" he yelled, obediently answering to Furuichi's questions.

"HAVING THE THEATER DEMOLISHED RIGHT BEFORE HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE IS TOO CRUEL" His hands clasped as he still wouldn't stop crying.

It's a huge relief that people rarely walk by here and witness a chaotic scene infront of the theater, where a large excavator is going to demolish a crumbling theater and the ragged-looking guy who you don't know the name of starts sacrificing his sanity just to keep the building untouched, and two audience who just wanted to know their father's whereabouts are now being forced to witness everything that's happening.

"Sakoda, stay here"

"Yessir!"

Furuichi stood still infront of the theater, his back facing the three of you. You felt shivers down your spine, making the air feel colder than it was before.

"Start the show now" the three of you suddenly feel like you've been free from the suffocating silence, especially the ragged-looking guy, who happily obliged and replied back with a "YES!" Quickly assisting the three of you inside the theater.

You looked around the interior—eyes wandering at every corner. You followed your older sister as she sat on the front row, sitting beside her as your lips can't stop itself from smiling. You're excited and I'm sure you and your big sister are in the same boat.

Furuichi sat right beside you, and now you're in between, you feel the awkward air flowing inside the room. 'This is not good' you sighed to yourself.

"Don't regret that you stopped us earlier"

"Eh?" You looked at him, only to witness his eyes closed and face in a much more relaxed expression. His index finger softly taps on the sleeves of his coat several times, it's probably the best not to bother him at this time or you'll regret it, the thought of it already makes your anxiety rose up.

When the buzz stopped, the curtain lifts up, the lights from the stage started to warm up the atmosphere in the pitch black room. Your (e/c) eyes lit up as its only focus is on the stage, and to the familiar dark-pink haired boy.

'W-what? Isn't that-'

Sakuya: Eh? W-What’s wrong? What happened, Director?

Izumi: We got an invitation to do a collab play from Puroland!

Sakuya: Eh…EEH!?

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakyo: Looks like everyone’s here. Well then, Director-san, take it away.

Izumi: Okay. So, as I said before…

Izumi: I’m happy to announce that MANKAI Company will be doing a collab performance at Sanrio Puroland!

Azami: Seriously? Weren’t we literally just there?

Kazunari: Oh man, I am SO hyped! I bet it’s gonna be supes fun!

Misumi: Waa~ah, yay! It’s gonna be so fun~!

Guy: All the shows at Puroland were quite fascinating and informative. I’m honored that they chose us as a collaboration partner.

Izumi: As per usual, the script will be done by Tsuzuru-kun, Yuki-kun will be in charge of the costumes, and Azami-kun will handle the makeup.

Azami: Got it. Makeup to match the vibes of Puroland… Seems interesting enough to come up with something.

Yuki: That said… I’ll be making costumes for Kitty and her friends too, right? If so, I’ll need to know their measurements.

Izumi: That’s a good point. I’ll be going to Puroland for a meeting, so I can check with them then.

Tsuzuru: Is it cool for me to get started on the script?

Izumi: Go ahead. You can get started on it here and then we can bring it with us when we go and Kitty-chan and the others what they think.

Tsuzuru: Gotcha. I’ll try to come up with a few different plots then.

Sakuya: Collabing with Puroland… It feels like I’m still dreaming…

Citron: Looks like Sakuya’s dream came true ♪

Sakuya: Yeah…!

Masumi: We haven’t even done anything. Can’t really consider that to be coming true yet.

Sakuya: I-I guess that’s true!

Chikage: That was Masumi’s own type of encouragement, I assume?

Itaru: Couldn’t just be honest with your feelings, huh?

Tsuzuru: If there’s anything you want added to the script, feel free to tell me. This whole thing is all happening because of you, after all.

Sakuya: Thank you so much!

Sakuya: I wonder what doing a play with Kitty-chan and her friends will be like. I’m so excited, I can’t wait…

Tsumugi: Looks like everyone is here. Let’s start the Leaders' meeting then.

Sakuya: Alright.

Tenma: Tsuzuru-san is joining us today too?

Tsuzuru: Yeah. I’ve got some plots outlined for the Puroland collab and I wanted to get your opinions on them.

Banri: Gotcha, aight, let’s start reading through ‘em.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Wow! I think all these stories are really good.

Tenma: A comedy story would be pretty lively and exciting.

Banri: I think a fantasy sorta story would fit Puroland’s vibe the most, plus it’s the sorta thing that we’d only be able to do for a collab like this.

Sakuya: …I like this one.

Izumi: The story about the fairies?

Sakuya: Yeah. It’s the kinda story that’ll make everyone happy, and I’m sure if we do it in a place like Puroland, everyone will be smiling… I think…

Tsumugi: It’s something easy to understand but still has a lot of meaning. I’m sure that not only the kids, but the parents they came with will adore it too.

Tenma: There are a lot of families that go there. I think we should go with it.

Banri: If you add in all the lights they’ve got there, it’d make a pretty nice production.

Izumi: I agree. Alright then, let’s pick this one as our first choice!

Sakuya: Thank you so much…!

Tsuzuru: Well then, I’ll make this one my top priority and get a few others ready just in case!

Sakuya: Yeah!

Sakuya: …What am I gonna do? I’m really looking forward to this, but now it’s becoming more of a reality, I’m getting a little nervous.

Izumi: (That’s fair, it’s an entirely different stage and it’s not just our troupe this time around.)

Izumi: (Some of them have a hard time doing this sort of thing with others. If that’s the case…)

Izumi: Alright then. How about we all go visit Kitty-chan and her friends once we’ve got the script all sorted out?

Izumi: I think it’d be a good idea if we could talk with everyone about what we want for the script and costumes and so on.

Tsuzuru: Ah, that’s a good point. It would be pretty helpful to get feedback in person.

Banri: Agreed. I think talkin’ more would help us with the overall concept and help with team buildin’ for the performers too.

Tenma: Yeah. If we’re going to be acting with the Sanrio characters, we should all get to know each other better.

Tsumugi: It would be nice if we could get that sort of thing started sooner rather than later. What do you think, Sakuya-kun?

Sakuya: I’d love to go again!

Izumi: With that decided, I’ll get in contact with them as soon as I can.

Tsumugi: Thank you so much.

Banri: Seems like Sakuya might not be the only one gettin’ pretty excited for this performance.

Tenma: I mean, we’ve all been talking nonstop ever since the performance was actually confirmed.

Tenma: Yuki said he needed to get measurements first, but he’s already started making prototypes.

Tenma: The sewing machine has been driving me crazy, he’s got that thing running almost 24/7.

Tsumugi: Fufu, Yuki-chan is really looking forward to this it seems.

Sakuya: What Kitty-chan said… It’s really happening…

Sakuya: I’m really looking forward to it too! Let’s make this an amazing play!

Tenma: Yeah.

Banri: Damn right.

Tsumugi: Yeah. Since everyone is looking forward to this, let’s all do our best.
