Hanami (2022) - Oh flower, Oh flower, Please don't scatter

Prologue Chapters (1-2) ; Common Route Chapters (1-3) Chapters 4 - 6 below the cut~ Me?? Slack off? More likely than you think-

Chapter 4

Maica Ginsei, can you bring the cord over here? Ginsei Okay. Hoo...Is this good? Maica Well, you can see it a bit better now. It feels a bit more like an actual Ohanami site, doesn't it? Ginsei I think so too. Even though it's inside, the atmosphere is quite similar. Right, Yakou? Yakou (deep sigh) ..Ah, well...what? Maica You good? A bit too tired?

Yakou ...Sorry. It's just, this time the show is a bit frustrating. I know Kei is a bit strict, but even then most of the members don't have their act together. Menou is too focused on acting, and Mokuren is too focused on dancing. I didn't think it would be this hard to focus on so many things at once. Ginsei That's right...Even during the production for "Salva Me," Rindou was having a hard time to get those two to agree on anything. Yakou I understand they want to keep it moving....But this is my first time doing something like this, so it's hard for me to follow along. Ginsei Considering how it's Mokuren and Menou we're talking about, this is different from what I expected...I think. Maica Well, it must be so hard to follow since they want to do too many different things. What's the team's top doing? Yakou About that...Since he's a singer, he doesn't really think much of the performance side of it. Ginsei Taking advantage of his privileges...That's so Akira. Maica Don't you have your day job as well? Don't overdo it; if you collapse it'll cause a big ruckus. Yakou Don't worry, I won't go that far. The fact that I was nominated for this means there's something only I can do. Yeah be responsible lmao I won't let this chance slip by. I'll give it my all. Maica Well then, you should at least take a break from the preparations. I'll handle the rest of the decorating. There's no way you can show such a face to our customers. Yakou Huh, do I really look that bad? Sorry, I'll follow your advice and rest for now. Ginsei Just do that. We'll support you in any way we can.

Chapter 5

Taiga Geez, these Hanami stages are so overdone...I can finally eat in peace. Kongou Oh, Taiga. Good job performing out there. My hands are full right now, but I'll whip something up for you. Can you wait a bit? Taiga Ye~p. ... Wait, there's something that smells really good? Kongou You could tell? I was excited to cook these dishes. An important playwright is coming, so I was ordered to make something a bit more luxurious. Taiga Ho~. So this is Hanami-special menu? The food is colorful. Even the decorations in the shop are flashy. It gives off a certain feeling, like "Oh, it's Hanami," or "This is spring." Kongou This menu's theme is all about spring, so hearing you say it has those feelings is a big relief. It's a Pea Pottage, with spring vegetables and braised white fish. The main dish is grilled lamb shoulder loin with fragrant herbs. Taiga Eh. Have no idea what'cha talking about, but it sounds awesome. Kongou The quality of the ingredients are better than normal, so the taste and aroma is a bit different. Taiga That much I can understand is amazing. Though personally, I'm not really all too picky about my food. The smell in here is dangerous. It's criminal, even. Criminal class gourmet. Kongou Thank you. If I'm able to contribute with my cooking, then that's all I could ask for. Lately, we aren't able to go up on the stage. Because of that, all I can really do is make food. Taiga If this much effort is put into the stage and the menu, then the equipment and PCs backstage should also be of high quality. But knowing the owner, no way it'll happen. Kongou Unfortunately so. And...here we go. The main dish is complete. Sorry for making you wait, Taiga. I'll make your food right now. Taiga Hura~y. (but dead inside)

Chapter 6

Hari Good work today, Kasumi. Kasumi Good work~ How is university, Hari? Are you still on Spring break? Hari We just had our orientation. My preparations for the curriculum's lectures were all finished with, so I don't have any problems in particular about it. All that I need to do is simply attend my lectures and finish any assignments handed to us. Kasumi You took a break from college, didn't you? Was it any hard to connect with anyone? You enrolled at a different time as your classmates, so you might be facing a few difficulties. Hari There's no need to worry. After all, I didn't enter university to make friends. As long as I'm able to communicate with the others, everything should be alright. Kasumi Hari is such an honest person, ahaha... Mokuren Oi, if you're done with your useless conversation then hurry up and get back to work. Ironic coming from you lmao Hari Mokuren. Mokuren Oh, you were here. How was university? Hari I'm done for the day, so I came to help out at the store. More important, your solo dance part in the Hanami performance was truly a spectacle. My whole body was trembling as I watched. Mokuren It's because these buffoons[1] are doing such silly dances that I have to pick up the slack. Aside from Kei, I don't really talk to anyone else. Even you dance better than whatever they're doing. Hari (intense gay panic) Ah...! Mokuren What's with that reaction? Why are you suddenly so stiff? Kasumi Ehehe~ (like your one friend from highschool who laughs when they shove you up to your crush in the hallway) This is just my thoughts, but I think he broke down from how adorable you were being~ Mokuren The hell does that mean. Kasumi I mean, didn't you just compliment Hari on his dancing? Mokuren Compliment? Are you stupid? I didn't praise him, I just criticized the others. Don't go getting the wrong idea here. Hari ...Y-yes! Thank you so much, Mokuren! Mokuren ...I'm going back to the lesson room to rest up. Go do your chores in the meantime. Hari Yes! Kasumi Gotcha~ Hari It feels like a waste to go back to university now. I'll just need to improve even more so I can be complimented by Mokuren once again. Kasumi Ahaha...I wish you good luck and everything, but don't forget about your main job now, okay?

[1]: Mokuren just says "these guys," but buffoons was funnier. lol

[BSTS] Main Story S5CH7 ‘Wait and Hope’ - Part 1

Chapter 1

-starless office-

unei: ...There we go, the schedule for Team K's solo performance has been announced.

takami: Roger. I'll tell Taiga to update the ticket sales page.

unei: Thank you. Speaking of, what show are K going to be performing this time?

yakou: Kei is going to be deciding that shortly.

sin: Like an iron flower taking bloom.

takami: True, it's rare for Kei to leave a decision so late.

yakou: It should be made soon, so I'll let you know once I find out.

unei: In that case I'll sort out what permanent merch items need to be restocked. First I'll check our stock…

-phone rings-

yakou: Ah, don't worry, I'll take it.

unei: Thank you.

-unei leaves-

yakou (on phone): Hello, this is Theatre Starless. Thank you for your call.

yakou (on phone): Hm? About Yoshino...? Um, I'm very sorry but the appearing cast members change depending on the show... No, that doesn't necessarily mean that he's waiting for his turn.

yakou (on phone): My apologies sir, but I cannot answer questions that involve the cast member’s personal information. All public information relating to our next performance will be posted on our official website, so please check there once it's been updated. Yes, thank you, goodbye.

-yakou hangs up-

takami: Who was that call from?

yakou: It was... a man claiming to be Yoshino's father. I don't know if he really was or not, but I don't see what reason someone would have to lie about it.

sin: It is not just lotus flowers that sink in the mud.

takami: Either way, I think you handled the call in the appropriate way, Yakou. If it really was his father then it's better you didn't say anything careless.

-time pass, rehearsal room-

saki: (...Yoshino-san seems distracted today, he keeps spacing out.)

yakou: .......

yoshino: Hm? Yakou, is something the matter? You keep glancing at me...

yakou: Ah... Well you see, someone claiming to be your father called the store earlier.

yoshino: What?

yakou: He sounded middle aged and spoke with a Kyoto accent... So I don't think it was just some random prankster.

yoshino: Oh I see, is that so? Thanks for telling me. I'll check in with him, he might've really called after all.

-yoshino leaves-

saki: Do you think something happened?

yakou: Could this be the 'time limit' he was talking about?

saki: Huh?

yakou: Ah, no it's nothing, sorry. You don't need to worry about anything, Saki-san.

—end

Chapter 1 extra

-starless backrooms-

-yoshino calls his dad-

yoshino (on phone): Don’t ask me why I’m calling, what are you doing? Why did you call the store directly?

yoshino (on phone): It hasn't been decided that I won't perform yet... What? You're coming here? But, your condition...

yoshino (on phone): Please wait a moment. Father!

-call hangs up-

yoshino: What am I supposed to do…

-time pass, rehearsal room-

kei: Practice today ends here.

ginsei: Kei, could I talk to you for a moment?

kei: What is it?

ginsei: Have you decided what show we'll be performing yet?

kei: I have a candidate, yes. It's a show based on 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. However, is is merely a candidate.

gui: You haven't made a decision yet?

kei: Indeed. I have yet to choose the lineup as well. So make sure you're all prepared.

-kei leaves-

ginsei: ...That's kind of unexpected.

gui: Unexpected?

ginsei: Usually Kei has no troubles making a decision.

sotetsu: He probably just has something he has to think about right? By the way, what are you looking so forlorn about? The lineup hasn't been decided yet meaning there's still a chance that you'll be chosen.

yoshino: ...I know.

sotetsu: What a mundane reaction. Compared to before you're acting a lot more mature about this, no?

yoshino: I don't intend to stay the same forever.

-yoshino leaves-

sotetsu: ...Then you should just make your move already.

yakou: ......

—end

Chapter 1 SideA

-starless restaurant area-

takami: I'm done setting the tables so should we open up the entrance?

yoshino: Yeah, go ahead.

takami: Could it be you're thinking about that phone call?

yoshino: Huh?

takami: I was also in the office when Yakou took that phone call.

yoshino: Oh... So that's why. It wasn't a big deal, don't worry.

takami: I thought it might have been about your time limit working here.

yoshino: ...!

takami: You've talked about it in the past after all.

yoshino: Did I? I don't quite recall.

takami: You said something like "It would be easier if I could just give up".

yoshino: You remember it well huh.

takami: Seems like the part about it not being easy hasn't changed.

yoshino: ..... (frustrated noise)

takami: Sorry, I said something unnecessary, didn't I?

yoshino: No, if I put off making my decision then it'll cause trouble for the temp management team, right?

takami: I'm not trying to rush you. I don't want to interfere with your decision either. As a member of the temp management team though, my actual motive is to keep you around so we don’t lose a worker. Anyways, I'll go and open up the entrance.

-takami leaves-

-yoshino looks deep in thought-

—end

Chapter 1 SideA extra

-behind starless, evening-

yoshino: Zakuro, do you have a moment? I'd like to ask you something...

zakuro: Oh my, whatever could you need to ask me?

yoshino: Recently, you were unsure about your singing, remember? After you asked me about it, what made your mentality change? In your closing show, your singing was so clear, as if you'd moved past whatever was bothering you.

zakuro: Ooh, I see I see, so it's about that. I wouldn't say my mentality changed or that I did anything in particular, I simply remembered what it is that I must do. And then, my uneasiness vanished.

yoshino: What it is you must do...?

zakuro: I do not sing for the sake of expressing myself.

yoshino: What?

zakuro: A cog that rotates and allows Team C's shows to unfold. That is my intended form. In other words, it is essential that I stay here in this store.

yoshino: So, singing is just a means to an end for you? But then, that's...

zakuro: Every person has their own individual goals. I have mine and you have yours.

yoshino: That's... Yeah, that's true.

zakuro: I shall be going then.

-zakuro leaves-

yoshino: The goal of my singing…

—end

Chapter 1 SideB

-starless hallway-

sotetsu: Yo.

kei: What do you want? You look as though you're scheming something foolish yet again.

sotetsu: Just doing a little bit of reconnaissance. I'm curious as to why you're being uncharacteristically indecisive.

kei: ......

sotetsu: It's cause of Yoshino, right? Then you should just let him get on stage.

kei: You're supporting him then?

sotetsu: It's just cause I know things get interesting when he's backed into a corner.

kei: Hah... I see.

sotetsu: You've known that since you first got here too, haven't you? Yoshino, who was once hesitant in front of an audience had his place stolen and became a monster. It shouldn't be strange that I'm curious what'll happen next.

kei: What matters most is whether or not he's capable of capturing his role properly and showing it off on stage.

sotetsu: If you want to assess him, why not leave it to the guests to do so? That's how Starless works after all.

kei: I shall not deny that.

sotetsu: Well, it's tasteless to make a free bet. Let's see, if I end up being misguided and he doesn't live up to your expectations then, hm... I'll apologise and pay you a little visit with a special souvenir of mine.

kei: I don't see how you'd benefit from that.

sotetsu: I just hate when things are dull. Plus, getting on his good side would end up being an investment for me.

kei: Either way, I do not plan to take any personal interest into account. As always, I shall simply select those that will make for the greatest possible show. That is all there is to it.

—end

Chapter 1 SideB extra

-starless hallway-

ginsei: Oh, Yakou.

yakou: You're here early. Did you need something?

ginsei: I want to talk to Kei. I'm worried about our next show. So I want to ask him who's going to be singing...

yakou: ...I see. Yoshino seems to be dealing with a lot too.

ginsei: Is he?

yakou: Hm...? You haven't heard?

ginsei: I'm just concerned over who will be chosen to sing. Ah, wait, I guess that does involve Yoshino. If we perform 'Blooming in the Darkness' then I think Yoshino's voice would suit the atmosphere of the setting.

yakou: Ah, oh~ So that's what you meant…

ginsei: That's just my personal opinion though, Kei doesn't have to agree with it. I have some ideas for the direction too, so I'd like to hear what Kei's thinking.

yakou: Makes sense.

ginsei: Ah, wait. By saying that I don't mean to imply that your voice would be a bad fit...!

yakou: I know that, don't worry.

-time pass, starless office-

kei: ...In short, you're telling me to make Yoshino a standard member for this show?

ginsei: I'm not trying to interfere with the casting. And I know full well that the decision is up to you, our leader. I just think that 'Blooming in the Darkness' would suit Yoshino well. I guess I just wanted to let you know my opinion…

kei: Is that why you are also present, Yakou?

yakou: No, it's not like I want to lose the chance to sing it. However, when we performed 'GRAVITATE', Ginsei also chose me to sing for the same reason. So, I think for this show the most fitting members should be chosen for its lineup.

kei: Understood.

ginsei: I'll be going now then, excuse me.

-ginsei leaves-

yakou: ...So just 'suiting the song' isn't enough to be the most fitting choice?

kei: Indeed. However, there are also aspects that can only be evaluated once on the stage.

—end

Chapter 2

-rehearsal room-

saki: (I heard that K are going to be discussing their next show today. I wonder which play they'll choose...)

kei: Without further delay, I shall announce what our next performance will be. I have decided on the script 'Blooming in the Darkness'. The lineup will be—

yoshino: Please wait a moment.

kei: I have not finished speaking.

yoshino: I know, but please let me say this. In our next show, please allow me to be the singer!

kei: I had already been planning to do just that.

yoshino: Huh?

kei: The lead role shall be Yoshino. Sotetsu and I will be the supporting roles. Additionally, Sotetsu and Yakou will be double casted. The antagonists are Ginsei and Gui.

sotetsu: Oh? So it's happening huh.

yakou: ......

yoshino: Why....?

sotetsu: You just asked him to sing yet that's your reaction?

yoshino: That's because... I mean...

kei: I simply selected the most adequate members for the content of the performance.

yoshino: (shocked) ...Thank you very much.

kei: There is no reason to thank me. All it is that I desire from you is a flawless performance. However, it is true that I did receive a certain recommendation for you. I shall reveal that much.

yoshino: What do you mean?

sotetsu: Well, either way it's been decided. Whether you can pull it off or not is now all up to you.

yoshino: I know.

ginsei: I look forward to seeing what kind of show 'Blooming in the Darkness' will become.

gui: I will do my best as well.

kei: Do you agree with my decision, Saki?

saki: Yes, of course. I look forward to hearing Yoshino-san's singing.

yoshino: Thank you, Saki-san. I'll make sure I live up to your expectations.

kei: Allow me to give you a word of advice. What it is that you need to learn more about, is yourself. Knowing yourself and being able to channel that into your singing, will become the key to your success.

yoshino: ...Understood.

saki: (I wonder what kind of show it will be...)

—end

Chapter 2 extra

-locker room-

yoshino: About what Kei said earlier...

sotetsu: Hm?

yoshino: It was you right? The one who recommended me. Why did you do something like that?

sotetsu: Do what?

yoshino: Kei said someone recommended me to be in this show.

sotetsu: Ooh, that. I thought it'd be interesting, do you think I have any other reason than that?

yoshino: Interesting, you say...

sotetsu: People show their true colours when they're backed into a corner.

yoshino: What are you talking about?

sotetsu: Your 'time limit' is nearly upon you right?

yoshino: ......

sotetsu: Looks like I hit the mark.

yoshino: Even if you got me drunk, my private life isn't something that I can talk about.

sotetsu: Hahaha, you got that right. So, where are you aiming for then?

yoshino: What do you mean by that?

sotetsu: In the past, you didn't have anywhere to go but here. That's not the case anymore though, right? If all you want to do is sing, then you can do it anywhere. Do you want success here as a singer at Starless? Or would you rather sing elsewhere?

yoshino: Either way I still need to make a name for myself first and get recognised at the very least.

sotetsu: ......

sotetsu: You said you were jealous of Menou once, remember?

yoshino: Huh?

sotetsu: "If only I could be naturally assertive like him" I think it was? Do you still feel the same way now?

yoshino: About what?

sotetsu: I'm wondering where it is that your heart lies.

yoshino: (looks serious)

yoshino: Well, whatever you decide to do, you're the one that I placed my bets on. Make sure you make it an entertaining show.

-sotetsu leaves-

yoshino: I'm already well aware of my own weaknesses...

—end

Chapter 2 SideA

-starless backrooms-

yakou: Good work today. Are you heading home already?

yoshino: Uh... yeah. I wonder why it is that Kei chose me this time.

yakou: Kei said the reason himself, didn’t he? That he simply chose the best members for the show's content. It's not like I had intentions to give up the singer spot, but Kei doesn't take individual feelings like that into account. You're the one that must know that best.

yoshino: ......

yakou: I'm just thinking out loud here but... I'm not satisfied until I’ve repaid a debt fully. The fact I'm accepting that I wasn't chosen... is probably due to that. I don't know what you're going through... But I understand that it's something you need to fight for.

yoshino: ......

yakou: I'm not planning to lend you a hand or anything though.

yoshino: I know that already. I'm already planning to end this without anyone going easy on me.

yakou: If you're not up to scratch I'll steal the spot from you right away. So make it a success.

yoshino: Of course. That's why I need to get even stronger, because in the end, what I'm fighting against is myself.

yakou: To a more or lesser extent, I think everyone is the same on that front. So that we can all move on to the next stage in our lives.

yoshino: Regardless of the result, there's always the possibility that the future can't be changed.

yakou: .......

yoshino: However, even if this is the end for me, I want to go out on my own terms. So, I'll give it my all.

yakou: Yeah, me too.

—end

Chapter 2 SideA extra

-break room-

gui: So Dantès isn't a bad person... but he still gets imprisoned?

ginsei: Yeah, that's what happens. The person jealous of Dantès’ carefree lifestyle lured him into a trap.

gui: Villefort was also jealous of Dantès?

ginsei: No, the one who was jealous is Fernand. Villefort had completely different motivations... His feelings are very complex.

-rindou walks up-

rindou: Good work today. Your performance this time appears to have a high level of difficulty.

ginsei: Hey, Rindou. It's because the story is full of complicated character relationships. There's merit to doing shows like this though.

rindou: I heard that Yoshino will be the singer.

ginsei: Yeah, I think our lineup suits the show perfectly. It's just...

rindou: Is something worrying you?

ginsei: No, I wouldn't say I'm worried about the show... It’s just the atmosphere during practice has felt so tense.

rindou: True, recently it's as if an uneasy mood has enveloped the store.

ginsei: Yeah, that's what I mean.

gui: Is Yoshino also searching for something?

ginsei: I'm not sure... If he is, I think it's something that only he himself can find.

rindou: He's hiding his true feelings.

ginsei: Maybe. No matter what those around him say, if he doesn't find the answer for himself then he won't be able to swallow it.

gui: Swallow? Once you find an answer, do you drink it?

ginsei: No, it's just an expression. I mean that only you yourself can find the answer that you’ll accept.

gui: Can only find it yourself...

ginsei: In the end, all we can do for now is create the best show that we can.

rindou: You're Team K, so I'm sure that'll be an easy feat. I hope that it doesn't place any extra pressure on Yoshino, though.

Chapter 2 SideB

-starless balcony, evening-

sotetsu: ....... (smoking)

kokuyou: (also smoking) ...Yoshino seems to be pushing himself.

sotetsu: That's Mr. Starless for you, word gets to you quick.

kokuyou: What do you expect in a store this small? You seem to be backing Yoshino an awful lot. Are you that worried about your fellow colleague*?

sotetsu: That connection may have something to do with it.

kokuyou: It's not like joining around the same time means much.

sotetsu: That's what makes it interesting though. Back then he was clumsy at anything he tried, I never got bored of watching what he'd do next. It's something he wouldn't have been able to do anywhere but here.

kokuyou: Yeah...

sotetsu: If he could just sing more comfortably, he wouldn't have had any difficulties.

kokuyou: You sure value him highly huh?

sotetsu: The ones that assign us value are the customers. I take the stage because that's what the customers want. That's all there is to it.

kokuyou: And despite that you say you're bored.

sotetsu: I'm just always hungry for some entertainment.

kokuyou: You've got bad taste as always. Well, whatever personal things you've got going on, it's not this store's style to ask about it. You can ramble all you want but in the end you're the only one who can choose the path you want to take.

sotetsu: You've got that right.

—end

*tl note: I’ve just put colleague so it reads better in english, but the word Kokuyou used is more like ‘a colleague who joined the company at the same time as you’.

Chapter 2 SideB extra

-rehearsal room-

mokuren: That's all for today's training. Continue to learn by repetition, all of you.

kasumi: Haa~~ As always you show us no mercy~

aogiri: Indeed. And I had just started thinking I'd gotten used to it... Oh right, Team K's show will be starting soon won't it? I've heard that they're a team that's also very strict about quality.

zakuro: Indeed Indeed, that goes without saying. It's the team managed by the Proud Polaris after all.

aogiri: ...Could you be talking about Kei? That's an oddly fitting way of referring to him. I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of show they produce.

zakuro: I feel that their upcoming show is shrouded in turmoil however.

hari: Really?

zakuro: It has reached my ears that Yoshino will be singing.

qu: Nothing about that sounds unusual to me?

hari: Same. Whilst it's true Yoshino is their understudy at the moment, he is still officially a singer.

zakuro: But then but then, why-ever is this show not a versus with their team placements at stake then?

mokuren: Who cares.

zakuro: My oh my, does what I said truly merit being dismissed so coldly?

mokuren: Whether you're an understudy or a standard member, the stage is the stage. If your position is getting in the way then just create your own team where you can sing. Or find some other place where you can sing.

kasumi: That may be true but...

hari: It's not exactly something you can pull off at the drop of a hat. We can't just do what Mokuren and Mizuki did so easily.

qu: If the solution was that simple none of us would have any troubles.

mokuren: Hmph. There's no need to prioritise anything over being able to stand on the stage. If you've decided to stand on it, then it's much more beneficial to just face yourself and the stage.

-mokuren leaves-

kasumi: Mokuren really never wavers on his beliefs huh~

aogiri: That's what makes them dependable.

qu: ...I can understand how Yoshino must feel though.
