Seiya:
|
Tsubaki-san, thank you very much for teaching me how to be a Japanese man today!
|
Tsubaki:
|
I'm sorry for falling asleep midway, though. Next time I'll teach you better.
|
Seiya:
|
EH?! Really?! When is next time? When will you teach me?!
|
Tsubaki:
|
H- Hey, hey!... Good grief, did I talk too much?
|
Seiya:
|
Hehe! I respect the phrase "A warrior uses a toothpick even when he has not eaten" like you do!
|
Tsubaki:
|
"Like a lord"!
|
Seiya:
|
Eh?
|
Tsubaki:
|
Listen. The "Like a lord" part holds the meaning of "vanity".
|
Tsubaki:
|
Vanity can have both a good and bad meaning. The meaning to that depends on how you view vanity.
|
Tsubaki:
|
Seiya! Show your charm to everyone just like this cherry tree blooming beautifully! Honorable men have to show off at all costs!
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
Yumeyume wasureruna[1]
|
Seiya:
|
Y- Yumeyume? If you say so then I'll work hard! When I go home I'll look up the meaning of yumeyume!
|
Tsubaki:
|
Haha! Maybe it was still too early for you.
|
Tsubaki:
|
See you next time, Seiya. Did you have fun today?
|
Kanna:
|
Bye bye, Seiya!
|
Seiya:
|
I had! Bye bye!
|
Tsubaki:
|
Ah, right. Are you free tomorrow night?
|
Seiya:
|
I'm always free at night.
|
Tsubaki:
|
I see. I'll tell Toya to contact you later. You have to go to the place he tells you.
|
Seiya:
|
Eeeh?! I want to talk to you via LIME!
|
Tsubaki:
|
Raimu? Y- Yeah, Raimu... Yes.
|
Tsubaki:
|
(... I'll ask Toya about it later.)
|
Tsubaki:
|
Next time I'll show you how an adult Japanese man is.
|
Seiya:
|
An adult Japanese man?
|
|
*******
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
How is it? This is an adult Japanese man.
|
Seiya:
|
Tsu- Tsu- Tsu- Tsu- Tsubaki-san!! You look so cool!!
|
Tsubaki:
|
Yeah! Compliment me more!
|
Seiya:
|
You look very young with your hair down!
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
Are you making fun of me?
|
Seiya:
|
N- No, I'm not! You look younger than usual, which should make you happy!
|
Tsubaki:
|
.... Are you implying that I look old?
|
Seiya:
|
No no no no~!!
|
|
Yoshitsugu:
|
Tsk. I was glad to get a new job but I have to make Tsubaki look better. This pisses me off...
|
Seiya:
|
What are you saying, Yoshitsugu?! I'm so envious that you're able to do a job with Tsubaki-san!
|
Yoshitsugu:
|
Hmph. Let's change places then.
|
Toya:
|
There, there, that's not good, Yoshitsugu-kun.
|
Yoshitsugu:
|
Tsk... This is annoying so I'll end it here...
|
|
Toya:
|
Good grief... I should brew him some warm tea later.
|
Seiya:
|
Don't you have a photoshoot too?
|
Toya:
|
No, today's photoshoot is only for Tsubaki. I am just escorting him as his attendant.
|
Toya:
|
Leaving that aside.... Fufu.
|
Seiya:
|
Why are you smiling?
|
Toya:
|
No, just... Maybe it's because you came to look. He seems more motivated than usual today.
|
Seiya:
|
Are you talking about Tsubaki-san?
|
Toya:
|
Yes. See, Tsubaki is looking here.
|
Tsubaki:
|
Seiya, come here!
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
Come on. Sit by my side and drink.
|
Seiya:
|
Hey, Tsubaki-san! Are you still drinking sake?! And in the first place I'm underage so--
|
Tsubaki:
|
Idiot. Do I look like I would drink in the middle of a photoshoot?! This is just water.
|
Seiya:
|
Eh? Is that so... Then I'll drink!
|
Tsubaki:
|
Well, we're just acting as if we're drinking sake, but doesn't drinking while looking at the cherry tree lightened by the moonlight feel different from the scenery that we saw at noon?
|
Seiya:
|
Yes... It's a different scenery.
|
Tsubaki:
|
... Somehow, drinking under the moonlight feels like we're doing something forbidden.
|
Seiya:
|
Is this what an adult Japanese man is?
|
Tsubaki:
|
.... In my opinion.
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
The moon is mysterious, isn't it? It has this charm that makes you feel as if you'll get absorbed when looking.
|
Tsubaki:
|
When you look at the moon's reflection in this plate of water it feels like you have the whole world in your hand.
|
Seiya:
|
Even though it's just water?
|
Tsubaki:
|
Kuku! This is just water for now, but in three years it will turn into real sake for you.
|
Tsubaki:
|
Until then you'll have to fight to conquer the world!
|
Seiya:
|
! Tsubaki-san! I'll definitely become a real idol and conquer the world! I won't lose to you!
|
Seiya:
|
Ehmm... That!
|
Seiya:
|
Yumeyume wasureruna!
|
|
Tsubaki:
|
! Yes. That's my junior.
|
Tsubaki:
|
(Is it a sin to want these days to continue forever?)
|
Tsubaki:
|
(However, if you're not able to keep up with changes, nothing you do will be good...)
|
Tsubaki:
|
(I will continue to walk the path that I believe in. And then, fulfill the promise.)
|
Tsubaki:
|
(I have juniors following after me.)
|
Tsubaki:
|
Aah... The moon is beautiful.
