[Summer Troupe 5th Play] Shinobi - 1

[skipabeet]

Dear me in the future,

To the future me who is currently reading this, from the me who just graduated junior high school.
What are you doing now? How do you feel when spending your days now?
I spent my three years of junior high school studying hard alone so that I could achieve excellent grades.
I was satisfied that my three years were fulfilling, but I regret it a lot sometimes.
Although what I obtained was big, even If I regret it, “that time” won’t ever come back.
I can’t get a second chance.
That’s why, future me, please value your “present, past” so that you won’t regret it.

More than the junior high school me.

Kazunari: *sigh*~…
Banri: Good work.
Kazunari: …Hm? Ah, it’s you, Settssu.
Banri: Your dark circles are awful, you know. Azami will be mad if he sees this.
Kazunari: I know, right~? That’s why I try avoiding him.
Banri: So are you done with your assignment?
Kazunari: More or less.
Banri: You’re drawing it at the dorm this time.
Kazunari: Yeah, yeah~. There are a lot of people in the university’s atelier so I couldn’t focus~.
I think I can get it done at the last minute since I was able to borrow the warehouse.
Banri: That’s good, then. What’s for lunch?
Kazunari: Let’s eat this today!
Banri: The uni’s pancake…?
Kazunari: Yup. Since my assignment is nearly finished, I want to treat myself a little bit early~.
This one is really popular at campus, see. You can draw a picture on the pancake with the chocopen.
Banri: What are we? Women?
Kazunari: Use the power of an art student and become the best one on Instagram!
Banri: Heh~.
Kazunari: I wonder what I should draw~.
——ugh, whoa.
Banri: Be careful, the chocolate has come out.
Kazunari: Doesn’t it look like an art explosion?
Banri: No, that’s just a failure. Pfft, anyone won’t think this is done by an art student~.
Kazunari: “#art #explosion #physically.” and…. post.
Banri: You’ll post that?

Kazunari: 10 likes in a few seconds! Get~!
Banri: That’s fast.
Kazunari: Ah, Azu also liked it!
Banri: Heh, that’s unexpected.
Kazunari: Azu usually likes quite a lot of funny things. Settssu, like my post too! Click it~.
Banri: Okay, okay.

Kazunari: ….
——ugh.
It’s done~…..!
Izumi: Kazunari-kun, can we have a moment?
Misumi: We brought triangle onigiris~.
Kazunari: Ah, thank you, you two! I just finished my assignment!
Izumi: Really!? Good work!
Misumi: Good work, Kazu~. You worked hard~.
Kazunari: Hehehe!
Izumi: Whoa, it’s a really large-scale piece!
Kazunari: Yeah~. It’s a little bit tougher this time.
Misumi: Everyone should see this too~! I’ll call them!
Kazunari: You don’t have to bother doing it, though~.
Izumi: But you will carry this out tomorrow, right? You may as well show it to them.
Kazunari: Ah~, I see. That’s right!
The onigiris look delicious~. Itadakimasu!
Izumi: You didn’t eat dinner today as well.
Kazunari: Ah, right. I have to write this…
Izumi: What’s that?
Kazunari: a caption~.
Izumi: Caption… ah, is that the one where you write something like the title and commentary?
Kazunari: Yup. I only write the title, though~.
Izumi: Is that so?
Kazunari: Writing my own commentary is somewhat embarrassing and I don’t know what to write~.
Tenma: Have you finished it, Kazunari?
Yuki: Good work—.
Misumi: I brought everyone~.
Muku: Whoah, amazing! What a huge piece!
Kumon: Japanese painting is cool!
Kazunari: It’s cool, right~. Praise me, praise me!
Tenma: Did you really draw this…?
Yuki: The gap between the creator and the art piece is amazing.
Kazunari: Tenten, Yukki, that’s cruel…!
Izumi: Ahaha.
Tenma: But well, it looks like we can start preparing for our next play now.
Kazunari: Sorry for delaying it~.
Izumi: We still have some time in the schedule so it’s fine. Let’s start preparing the play for real tomorrow.
Misumi: Yes~!
Muku: I’m looking forward to it!
Kazunari: Me too!
