Sakyo Furuichi SR 【Blooming Trail】/Backstage Story

Growing Up Part 1
[Auditorium]
Izumi	(Kind of hard to believe it's been a year...)
Izumi	(One whole year since I recieved that unexpected letter and came to the theater...)
Sakyo	There you are, Izumi.
Izumi	Oh? What's up, Sakyo?
Sakyo	What do you mean, 'What's up'? It's time for our meeting!
Izumi	It is?!
Izumi	Oh geez, I didn't even notice how late it is! Sorry, let's go!
[Mankai Theater Entrance: Morning]
Izumi	Yikes... It's freezing out here...
Sakyo	It wouldn't be if you'd used your brain and came to the theater with a coat.
Izumi	...Urgh. You don't have to be so mean about it.
Sakyo	Sigh. You're hopeless...
Sakyo	Here, put this on.
Izumi	What? Your scarf...? But if I take this, won't you be col-?
Sakyo	You'll be no use to anyone if you get sick. Just put it on.
Izumi	Sorry, thanks.
Sakyo	What were you doing in the theater that made you lose track of time?
Izumi	Ahaha... Actually, I was thinking about how it's almost been a year since we started up the new Mankai Company.
Izumi	I must've gotten lost in my thoughts.
Sakyo	Sounds like you're getting old.
Izumi	Wow. Excuse you!
Sakyo	...Well, I understand how you feel about that theater.
Izumi	Hmph. Who's the old one now?
Sakyo	...
Izumi	Oops. Guess I can't tease you too much, since I was the one who got stuck in my daydreams in there.
Sakyo	Glad you're aware.
[Time Skip: Main Hall]
Izumi	Okay, I'll make a list of all the props we'll need for the performance, then.
Sakyo	Good. We'll also have to think about the budget for the costumes and set pieces, Minagi, let me know if you need anything for the script.
Tsuzuru	Will do.
Manager	Okay, I'll contact Yuzo and Tetsuro.
Izumi	Thank you. All right, I think that's a wrap for today's meeting.
Manager	Good work today!
Tsuzuru	Thanks, Izumi.
Izumi	Good meeting, Sakyo.
Sakyo	Same to you. Hey, by the way...
Izumi	Hm?
Sakyo	An acquaintance of mine gave me two tickets to this show. Have you heard of it?
Izumi	Oh! I was thinking about seeing this one!
Sakyo	Perfect. Would you like to go with me?
Izumi	I'd love to! Thanks so much!
Sakyo	If that's all it took to get you so happy, I'm glad I asked. I'll see you on the day of the play, then. Look forward to it.

Growing Up Part 2
[Main Hallway Entrance: Morning]
Izumi	(Ack, I lost track of time again! I'd better hurry!)
Izumi	Sorry for the hold up!
Sakyo	Calm down, I wasn't waiting that long. Geez, for someone who always complains about the cold, you certainly don't bundle up.
Izumi	What? I thought I had dressed pretty warmly, though...?
Sakyo	Tch... I didn't plan on giving this to you so soon, but...
Izumi	(Oh? Why does he have such a large stole?)
Sakyo	Here. Just sit still.
Izumi	(Whoa! It's big enough to wrap around my entire body!)
Izumi	Oh, it's so nice and toasty.
Sakyo	Obviously. I chose it because it seemed warm.
Izumi	Huh? Wait, what's this for?
Sakyo	Don't ask silly questions. It's for you, obviously. Come on, we're going to be late if we don't get going.
Izumi	W-wait for me, Sakyo!
[Veludo Way: Afternoon]
Izumi	Wow, that was a great show...!
Sakyo	Yeah, both the script and performances were top-notch.
Izumi	(The air out here is chilly, but I don't feel cold at all, thanks to the stole I got from sakyo.)
Izumi	Hey, Sakyo? This stole looks brand new, and it's gorgeous but... is it really okay for me to have it?
Sakyo	I was going to give that to you eventually. Just not as early as I had. Keep it.
Sakyo	Also, I should hope it's new. I picked it out for you at the store, after all.
Izumi	What?! I know I get cold easily, but you didn't have to go through so much trouble!
Sakyo	Sigh... That's not the only reason I got that for you.
Sakyo	...You've done a good job this past year. Take that as a reward for your hard work.
Izumi	Oh...!
Izumi	(Sakyo must have gotten this for me in preparation for the Mankai Company's first anniversary...)
Izumi	(I'm happy to get this wonderful gift, but getting to hear Sakyo's words of praise really means the world to me...)
Izumi	I knew that if I didn't give everything I had, a certain yakuza member here would have demolished the theater.
Sakyo	...Heh, you've got quite a mouth on you.
Izumi	I'm joking, of course. Thank you, Sakyo. I'm really glad we've been able to come so far.
Izumi	This stole is keeping both my body and heart so warm. I feel really toasty. Hehe.
Sakyo	...I'm glad.
Izumi	You know, Sakyo, for how cold and scary you look, you're actually really kind and passionate.
Sakyo	Quiet.
Izumi	I know everyone appreciates you for who you are, too.
Izumi	Of course, I have nothing but respect for you, and I'm always counting on you, as well.
Sakyo	Well, no matter how much I get on their cases, I don't hate the rest of the company, and I always find myself fussing over them despite myself.
Sakyo	...And you're part of that equation too, Izumi.
Izumi	Hehe. Thanks. I'll make good use out if this scarf.
Sakyo	Good.
Sakyo	But it's only been a year. You'd better get ready to be in this for the long haul.
Izumi	...Yes, sir!
