| Water Me! | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Sakisaka Muku (1/3) | |||
| Muku: | Oh, Director. I was just reading the original version of 1001 nights. remembered the story roughly, but this is the first time I read it properly. It was very interesting so I went through it in no time! My acting was so ragged, I'm below a withered radish but Tenma-kun praised me in the kitchen, so I want to grow. I will do my best so that the people will laugh at my Sindbad. | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (2/3) | |||
| Muku: | I'm going shopping with Ju-chan! I want to eat cake while we 're out. This is the first time we're out together, just the two of us. I'll go get something for you too Director-san! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (3/3) | |||
| Muku: | Ah, Director-san! If it's okay, would you like to try this cookie I made in cooking class. Ehh, this is a rabbit and this a bear. And that is, correct, it tried making Kamekichi!<brI'll get embarrassed if you praise me that much. This is just for you Director-san... Ah, if this get's exposed everyone will call me unfair later! Later~~!!! | ||
| Muku & Omi Talk | |||
| Muku: | ... | ||
| Omi: | What happened, Muku. | ||
| Muku: | Um! Ehhm... in fact there is something I want to ask you Omi-san... | ||
| Omi: | Hm? What is it? | ||
| Muku: | In this Shoujo Manga I read at the moment, there is an apple and cherry pie and it looked really delicious. | ||
| Muku: | I thought perhaps Omi-san, could make one... | ||
| Omi: | I never made one with apples and cherries but it looks very good. Okay, I'll try making one. | ||
| Muku: | Is, is that really okay!? | ||
| Omi: | Of course. Can I read the Manga as a reference? | ||
| Muku: | Yes! Thank you so much Omi-san! | ||
| Conquering Misoshiosa Island! | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Sakisaka Muku (1/3) | |||
| Muku: | I just finished reading a manga about humans battling mysterious beings on a deserted island before we came here. There were a ton of zombies and monsters in the story, and once the characters stepped foot on the island, they never managed to return home... Agh...! What if there are zombies and monsters on this island, too?! My efforts to fight them off would be futile... They'd make mincemeat of me real quick and eat me for dinner! O-oh, no...! Please don't eat me, monsters! I promise I don't taste good at all!. | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (2/3) | |||
| Muku: | You like this bug spray? We made it with natural herbs we got in the mountains, so it smells super nice! I had no idea Azami knows how to make something like bug spray from scratch. He really is amazing! I tried my best to make it just like he did... I hope you'll find it useful while we're here! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (3/3) | |||
| Muku: | Watch your step, Izumi. The ground's a little muddy over there... Ah! Wow, that was a close one. I'm glad I grabbed your hand in time... U-um... we can walk together while holding hands if you'd like. I'd hate for you to slip again. Ehehe. Getting to hold hands with you while exploring the forest is making my heart beat a little fast. You have nothing to worry about, Izumi. I'll protect you no matter what, so please don't let go of my hand! | ||
| Muku & Omi Talk | |||
| Muku: | Hmm... It's kind of funny how people like asking each other what they'd bring to a deserted island if they could only take one thing. | ||
| Omi: | Yeah. And now we actually get to live out that hypothetical question. | ||
| Muku: | I don't think I could pick just one item, though... What would you choose, Omi? | ||
| Omi: | Well, I never really thought about it before, but I think I've finally come to a solid conclusion thanks to this training camp. | ||
| Muku: | Really? Is it a knife? Or some kind of pot...? | ||
| Omi: | Nope. I'd bring seasoning. I realize now more than ever how important it is to be able to flavor your dishes properly. | ||
| Muku: | O-oh. I wouldn't have guessed that...! But you're right! Our meals here would've been so bland if you weren't here to rescue us! | ||
| Omi: | Haha. Hearing that makes my hard work all the more worthwhile. | ||
| Muku: | I've made up my mind! I finally know what I'd bring to a deserted island, too! | ||
| Omi: | Oh? What did you decide on? | ||
| Muku: | You, Omi! I'd be able to survive anywhere as long as I have you! Taking on a bunch of zombies or aliens would a piece of cake as long as I got to eat your delicious food! | ||
| Omi: | Hahaha. I'm honored that you think so. | ||
| Shinobi Adventures! | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Sakisaka Muku (1/3) | |||
| Muku: | We're going to have a lot more action scenes since we're doing a play about ninjas. We had a few fight sequences when we did Captain Sky's Pirates too, but this time, they're going to be much more intense! I'm a bit nervous about the scenes... I felt better having Kyuchan around to teach me all I needed to know about baseball for our fourth play, and I know Misumi can help out just as much this time! And I'm really excited to see Kazu in a lead role! This play's going to be so lively and fun! He helped me out a lot when I played a lead in Captain Sky's Pirates, giving me tips and doing read-throughs with me... That's why I want to help him out as much as I can for this play! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (2/3) | |||
| Muku: | During our last play, Kyuchan recommended a bunch of baseball manga to me so I could learn more about the sport. That's why I decided to be proactive this time and read up on manga and novels that include ninjas in their stories. Itaru lent me some manga, so Sir Citron and I read through them together. They were all so, so good! I didn't expect them to be so entertaining, but after finishing them, I really wanted to read even more manga about ninjas! But there are just so many stories out there, I had no clue where to start... When I mentioned my troubles to Chikage, he went straight to his computer and found a bunch of good manga recommendations for me! He even wrote me a list! He said he's good at researching things since he's always looking up spices and restaurants for spicy foods. Isn't that so cool? And guess what? There were even a couple of shojo manga on the list! I'm taking the list to the bookstore tomorrow to buy them. I can't wait to see what the stories are like! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (3/3) | |||
| Muku: | This is so good... Oh, hey Izumi! I was just reading one of the manga Chikage looked up for me. The main character is a ninja who's really cool and has this rare but incredibly gentle smile. I'm super invested in his love story with the princess! The love between a revered princess and a lowly ninja... They live in worlds that may never intertwine! What a heartbreaking but enthralling tale! I wonder what it'd be like if I was the ninja and you were the princess? Maybe something like, um... I am but a denizen of the shadows. I know I should not admit to this aloud, but please forgive me for telling you what ought to stay locked inside my heart. ...I love you, Princess, with all my heart. My life and soul are yours till death wrenches us apart. Tell me whatever you wish for me to do and I shall do it! ...Ah! Sorry! I got carried away! Hehe! I'll do my very best to be just as cool of a ninja in our play, Izumi! | ||
| Muku & Azuma Talk | |||
| Muku: | ...Oh, Azu. | ||
| Azuma: | Is something wrong, Muku? You're not normally up this late. | ||
| Muku: | I woke up from a scary dream, and I haven't been able to fall back asleep since... Kazu wasn't in the room eiher, so he must still be finishing up some art piece... And I'm not really in the mood to read manga right now. I figured I should at least get a drink of water, which is why I'm out here. | ||
| Azuma: | That doesn't sound pleasant. Would you mind if I went to your room and bothered you for a little while, then? | ||
| Muku: | Huh? What for, though? | ||
| Azuma: | I thought we could chat a bit until you relaxed enough to fall back asleep. I can even light some incense that will help soothe your nerves. | ||
| Muku: | Really? Thanks so much, Azu! | ||
| Azuma: | It's my pleasure. Give me a moment to prepare the incense, okay? | ||
| Muku: | Okay! I'll get some drinks ready for us, then! I can't believe I get to drink tea with you so late at night, Azu! I feel so grown-up right now. Hehe. | ||
| mAnkai ApArtment! | |||

| Side Sakisaka Muku (1/3) | |||
| Muku: | A lot of different people live in this apartment, but there are a few I haven't really talked to. Everybody has jobs outside of acting, so our schedules are all over the place... But I'm sure that'll change once we manage to clean up this courtyard and make it ready for hosting performances! I bet that'll make it easier for us to talk to each other! I want to put on all kinds of shows with everyone and get to know them better. Besides. working together and restoring a sad, rundown place to its former glory is like something out of a manga! It's so exciting to think about. We can do this! I'll do my best to help out, too! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (2/3) | |||
| Muku: | Oh, Izumi! Perfect timing! Do you want to share some of these macarons with me? Juchan brought some back with him. Apparently, they're the bestseller for this sweets shop that opened recently. Since Juchan is a sweets reviewer, he knows all there is about them! His knowledge ranges from specialty store desserts to convenience store treats. It all started as a hobby. He'd just visit different patisseries and cafes and try out whatever new sweets the convenience stores had in stock... But his reviews were super well-received! Eventually, pastry chefs started reaching out to him to get his opinion. You know how Omi is a chef? Well, he and Juchan are planning to collaborate and develop their own sweets together! They're definitely going to need some taste testers when the time comes, so would you like to volunteer for the job together with me? I'll vouch for the tastiness right now! Those two couldn't make anything less than delicious if they tried! | ||
| Side Sakisaka Muku (3/3) | |||
| Muku: | I had heard we'd be getting a new landlord before you came. But I never would've imagined that you'd be so kind, lovely, and easy to talk to! I'm a shojo manga artist, so I'm always thinking of interesting, new heroines, you see... But you're so nice, it's almost as if you're sparkling all the time! It's like you jumped straight out of a manga yourself. Um, I was wondering, but... can I base one of my future heroines on you, please? I'm sure everyone would love a character like you! After all, your smile makes my heart race and feel all fluttery, so I'm sure my readers would also- O-oh my gosh! I didn't mean to say that out loud! Please just pretend I didn't say anything! | ||
| Muku & Guy Talk | |||
| Guy: | Hello? Yes, I wanted to speak to you about our next event...Yes. Okay. Please do that. Thank you. Okay, then. I will talk to you later. | ||
| Muku: | Wow, that was so amazing and cool! Guy, you're the best! You're cool, handsome, perfect at your job, and in great shape! You would fit right in a shoujo manga! | ||
| Guy: | A shojo manga? Do you really think so? | ||
| Muku: | Definitely! For example, um... You could be the suave manager to a newbie idol! The always reliable manager who helps our heroine chase her dreams. Two people, one dream! And yet, they both believe they are harboring an unrequited love... | ||
| Guy: | Hm, I see. Depending on her contract and company, she may be forbidden from pursuing romantic interests. | ||
| Muku: | Exactly! They have to stay professional too, so they can't confess their true feelings, either... They must suffer a heart-wrenching forbidden love...! Then, a handsome actor who's interested in our heroine enters the scene! To thicken the plot, the two actually knew each other as kids and grew up together! He tells her that he's never stopped thinking about her. That she's always been on his mind! Gosh, I can already see how everything pans out! | ||
| Guy: | I am amazed at how quickly you developed that entire story... So this is what goes on in the mind of a professional shojo manga artist. I could learn a thing or two from your creativity and planning. Perhaps you would be a good fit for the Citrun brand. I shall present a formal proposal for a potential collaboration with you the next time I am at the office. | ||
