Producer: | Geez... I just went out for a walk, I can't believe I'm sweating this much. |
Producer: | Before I return back to school, I'll go cool down for a bit. |
Producer: | Are there any vacant seats?... Huh? |
Producer: | That person sitting in the back reading a book... Lucas-kun? |
Producer: | (I wonder what he's reading. He's got a more gentler expression than normal) |
Producer: | (I've never seen him with such an expression) |
Lucas: | ... How long do you plan on watching me like that, producer? |
Producer: | Ah! You noticed...? |
Lucas: | Anyone would get ideas if you were staring at them so rudely. |
Producer: | You've mastered some really hard Japanese haven't you? |
Lucas: | Don't mock me. |
Producer: | (... He's returned back to the usual Lucas-kun. Even though he had such a great expression earlier...) |
Lucas: | How long are you going to stand there? You came here to cool off too right? The seat opposite me is vacant. |
Producer: | Eh? You're okay with having tea together? |
Lucas: | Wouldn't it be weird if you left for another seat now? ... An awkward excuse would do you little. |
Producer: | Well then, I'll kindly accept your offer... |
Producer: | By the way, I've been curious since earlier, but what book were you reading? |
Producer: | It appears quite the colorful book. |
Lucas: | ...!? This is... |
Producer: | Sorry! If you don't want to tell me you don't have to! |
Lucas: | It's no big deal, it shouldn't be a problem if I tell you... |
Lucas: | This is a book of fairy tales I used to read a lot since I was a kid. |
Producer: | (Ah... it's that gentle expression again.That must be a book he really likes?) |
Lucas: | ... It must be weird for me to read fairy tales after all. |
Producer: | I don't think it's weird. I don't think it's weird... but I just thought it was a bit surprising. |
Lucas: | I see. You're very sincere. |
Lucas: | I brought this over from France, but it was ordered from Japan. The author is a famous Japanese person |
Lucas: | You've heard of the name 'Tiger Kids' haven't you? |
Producer: | Tiger Kids? Somehow that sounds like the name of a pro wrestler. Such a person is an author? |
Lucas: | Could it be that you're unaware? Even though Tiger Kids is a fairy tale author active not only in Japan but worldwide!? |
Lucas: | The content, but even more so, this bold color usage. I've liked reading this author's fairy tales for a long time. |
Producer: | ...If you're praising it like that, it must be a wonderful book. |
Producer: | You've got me curious, what do you mean by content? |
Lucas: | There's stories about human babies being raised by wild animals. It's a good story about overcoming barriers and nurturing family love. |
Lucas: | It could be that I wanted to be loved like the children in this book |
Lucas: | ... I lost my mother at a young age. My father began to neglect me so I must have begun to long for that kind of love. |
Producer: | Lucas-kun... |
