| The Birth of the ??? Club! | ||
|---|---|---|
| [Main Hall: Afternoon] | ||
| (I should get started on dinner soon...) | ||
| Yo, boss lady! | ||
| How's it hangin'? | ||
| Sakoda?! When did you get here? | ||
| Just now! Pardon the intrusion, ma'am. | ||
| What are you reading? | ||
| Wait, isn't that one of Muku's shoujo manga? | ||
| Oh, y'mean this? Belongs to the boss! | ||
| He asked me to buy the new volume that came out today, but I couldn't remember where the last one ended off, so I snagged it from his room. | ||
| Wait..are you talking about Sakyo here? | ||
| 'Course I am! | ||
| The one and only! | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| You shouldn't stand front of the doorways unless you're askin' to get hit. | ||
| Oh, Sakyo. | ||
| Boss! Welcome back! Been waiting for ya! | ||
| You again? | ||
| Aw, don't look at me like that! I got that book you asked me for! | ||
| Oh...good. | ||
| I ran straight to the bookstore this morning, just for you, boss! | ||
| I see. | ||
| ...Funny, I don't recall giving you permission to take it out of the plastic and read it before I had the chance. | ||
| Eeek! Sorry, boss! Please don't put me in a headlock! | ||
| Uhh... I'm sorry! Real sorry! | ||
| You read shoujo manga, Sakyo? | ||
| More accurately, I read everything. Novels, illustration collections...even light novels, lately. | ||
| Light novels?! Doesn't really fit my image of you... | ||
| It's very informative to read a wide breadth of material. | ||
| Boss'll watch just about anything when it comes to movies and stuff too! That's how he knows so much about everythin'! | ||
| That's my boss! The bestest there ever was! | ||
| That's a pretty good strategy. I should probably take a page out of your notebook. | ||
| True. Since you're technically the director of a theater right now, it certainly couldn't hurt to expose yourself to a variety of works. | ||
| (It's still pretty weird thinking of Sakyo reading shoujo manga, though.) | ||
| [Main Hall: Evening] | ||
| U-Um! Mr. Sakyo, sir? | ||
| Oh, Sakisaka. Need something? | ||
| Oooh, what's goin' on? Muku and Sakyo, now that's a rare combo! | ||
| Yeah...I wonder what's up with Muku. | ||
| Maybe they're talkin' about triangles! | ||
| (Pretty sure that's not it...) | ||
| U-Um...s-so, um, you read shoujo manga too?! | ||
| ...What? | ||
| I heard you read all sorts of shoujo manga! Even "Bro Knows Best"! | ||
| ...Sakoda blabbed to you, didn't he. | ||
| Sakoda totally blabbed to him. | ||
| What! Sakyo reads shoujo manga?! | ||
| Whoda thunk it! | ||
| Um, so..I dunno if you're interested but- | ||
| Um, would you form a shoujo manga appreciation club with me?! | ||
| A what? | ||
| Y-You're the first other man I've met who likes shoujo manga, Sakyo! I mean, Mr. Sakyo, sir! | ||
| Stop. | ||
| I never said I liked it. | ||
| Wh-Wha?! Did...did I make a mistake? | ||
| Oh no! I didn't mean to get in your way! You probably want me to disappear like the scum I am... | ||
| I didn't say anything like that either. | ||
| I'm so sorry! I totally got carried away and totally assumed things about you without even confirming... | ||
| You listening to me? | ||
| Do what you want with me. Drop me through a manhole to the other side of the Earth where I'll be miserable and homesick in Brazil. It's what I deserve! | ||
| ...Sigh. | ||
| I'm really sorry for bothering you... | ||
| ...Fine we can do it. | ||
| What?! Does that mean you're fine with making the club?! | ||
| We won't meet regularly, but if that's fine with you, I'll do it. | ||
| Really? Oh, I'm so glad! | ||
| Thank you so much! | ||
| I'll go ahead and lend you my faves until next week then! | ||
| All right already, Ugh... | ||
| (So Sakyo does have a tender side.) | ||
| What! That's no fair! I want a club too! | ||
| Want start a triangle appreciation club with me? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Aw, man... | ||
