skipabeetIzumi: (*sigh*… My whole body is sore… I don’t know hide-and-seek will be that kind of exercise….)
(But we don’t have enough ingredients so I have to go shopping. I shall do my best and go.)
——Huh?
Misumi: …..
Izumi: (Is that Misumi-kun in the rooftop….? He’s climbing there again…)
That’s dangerous, Misumi-kun. What should we do if you get injured before our performance?
Misumi: Hm~….. Sorry~.
…..
Izumi: (Hm? He obediently climbs down…. That’s rare. He usually invites me to go there.)
(It’s not just Kazunari-kun, but Misumi-kun is also not in his usual condition for the play. I wonder what happened.)
….Want to go shopping together, Misumi-kun? Carrying the luggage by myself will be hard, so I’ll be happy if you come along.
Misumi: Okay~.
Izumi: …..
Misumi: …..
Izumi: (Just as I thought, I feel like he’s not as energetic as usual.)
Misumi-kun, what——.
???: Could you be Sumi-kun?
Izumi: ?
Misumi: Who~?
Kazunari’s Father: Ah, sorry for suddenly calling you out. I’m Kazunari Miyoshi’s father.
Izumi: Kazunari-kun’s father!?
Kazunari’s Father: Are you a member of the theater?
Izumi: I’m Tachibana, the president and general director of the theater.
Kazunari’s Father: Thank you for always taking care of Kazunari.
Izumi: It’s okay——! Likewise!
(He has a very different impression from Kazunari-kun. He looks serious.)
Misumi: Why do you know me, Kazu’s father?
Kazunari’s Father: Kazunari always shows me the photos and flyers of Summer Troupe members. He also talks about you a lot.
Misumi: I see~.
Izumi: Are you on your way to work today?
Kazunari’s Father: No, I’m going to Kazunari’s university’s exhibition.
Izumi: Eh, are they holding it around here?
Kazunari’s Father: Yes.
Izumi: Misumi-kun, should we go there as well?
Misumi: Yes!
Kazunari’s Father: I’m sure Kazunari will be happy. I’ll lead the way.
Izumi: Thank you!
Misumi: Ah, I spot Kazu’s drawing!
Izumi: Whoah….
Kazunari’s Father: It’s a nice drawing…. I’m such a doting parent.
Izumi: No, you’re not!
(I’ve already seen the finished work, but it’s impressive when it’s decorated like this.)
Misumi: Kazu’s drawings are always beautiful and cool~.
Izumi: His flyer and HP designs are always greatly praised. Our theater company wouldn’t be able to go this far without him.
Kazunari’s Father: That’s good to hear.
….Can I talk about the old times a little bit?
Kazunari was different during his elementary school days. He was an introvert who hardly had any friends.
With his excellent grades, he was called a brilliant boy by our relatives. They said they were looking forward to his future, saying that he would become a doctor or a bureaucrat.
During summer holiday, he didn’t go to play at the pool or even a park. He would stay at home studying. Even if he went out, it was always to the library. And he went there to study.
Even when he already finished his homework during the first week of holiday, he would still go towards his desk…..
I was proud at his diligence, but I worried that he would lack childlikeness. So one day I thought of inviting him for a walk.
We passed by a park and a sweets shop. I thought he would be willing to play with other children, but he didn’t even show any interest.
“*sigh*….”
“What’s wrong, father?”
“No… Today is hot as well.”
“Should we go cool down over there?”
I lied as an excuse and invited him to a small museum that happened to catch my eyes. It was a nice place to cool down, but it must be a boring place for Kazunari. As I was thinking that, Kazunari unexpectedly fixed his eyes upon the pictures inside.
His eyes were sparkling and shining. And he even got engrossed in the caption. I remember being so shocked seeing him being like that.
He didn’t even react when I bought him toys. That was the first time I see that expression of his.
Then when his birthday came after that, I gave him painting materials as a present. That was the first things that he wanted besides studying tools.
Kazunari’s Father: And that was when painting has become a part of Kazunari’s life besides studying.
After graduating from junior high school, I was surprised when Kazunari completely changed his appearance….
I was happy that he played more and told me he wanted to draw more during high school.
He finally turned his attention to something other than studying.
Well, he chose to enroll in an art college so that his studying would become worth it, though….
The relatives who know Kazunari when he was young say it’s a pity that he chooses to become an artist since it’s an unstable job. But I don’t mind it.
Izumi: I see….
Kazunari’s Father: Has Kazunari told you about the overseas study thing?
Izumi: Ah, yes.
Kazunari’s Father: When he told me he’s still having a hard time deciding on that matter, I was a bit surprised.
If it was the old Kazunari, he would happily rush to place where he can study art more.
……Just like with studying, he must have found something that he got engrossed in.
To think that I’m happy to see my son troubled, what kind of parent I am…?
Even so, besides his beloved studying and drawings, another important thing is——.
Misumi: ???
Kazunari’s Father: I’m really happy that he joined the theater company and made friends.
Misumi: ….Kazu is my very important friend.
Kazunari’s Father: Thanks.
Maybe the time when we dropped by the museum was fate rather than coincidence.
Since he was able to get to know art and eventually joined a theater company. And then, he got to meet Sumi-kun and the others.
I’m glad that Kazunari cherishes his feelings without thinking about stable future after getting attracted to art.
Izumi: I’m sure Kazunari-kun is able to move forward to the path that he desires because he has your support.
Kazunari’s Father: I’m able to have confidence in being that kid’s father if you say so.
