Fantasia LOVE&KISS Special Short Story
I'm not a professional translator so take this all with a grain of salt!! If you spot any mistakes, feel free to DM me.
You can read it yourself here.
Thank you!!
Aizou and Yujiro, the two members of the high school idol unit LIPxLIP, have finally announced their first attempt at a musical, and tickets were now on sale.
It was a popular topic among fans, with the expectations rising. And while it was exciting, the pressure was also quite high. After all, it was the first time for both of them to play a role on stage.
Yujiro had been practicing since he was a child because of his family's past, and had studied acting since then, as back then, it had been his dream to stand on the stage. However, it is also the first time for Yujiro to perform on a theater stage, and a musical stage at that.
Aizou was no different, having only played the role of a prince in a certain MV but otherwise having no experience as an actor. He struggled to keep up with the rest of the cast and was clearing his assignments day by day.
Neither of them had been able to attend school very much during these days because they had been busy in the practice room from the early morning until late at night, practicing their acting, singing and dancing lessons. It was hard to find time for their studies.
However, they were still students and regardless of the fact that they had good grades and could easily catch up, they couldn't afford to miss so much school.
Aizou arrived at school for the first time in several days, and after the morning class, he left the classroom and headed for the staff room, where his homeroom teacher, Akechi, had asked him to meet him in.
Akechi, who was working on his computer, started talking to Aizou as soon as he arrived. As expected, it was about the lack of attendance.
"I've heard about the situation from the office, and I've told the other teachers about it. I know that both of you have good grades, so I'm sure you'll be fine, but make sure you only attend make-up classes." Was what he said.
When Aizou received a printout with the schedule, he noticed that most of the days off from work and practice were completely clashed with each other.
Akechi glanced over at him, turning his body to face him. "You...can't get time off, can you?" His words were concerned, even if he asked it in a casual manner, and his tone was unassuming.
He also explained the situation to the other subject teachers about this make-up class, and they bowed down to him to make time for a special make-up class.
"It's just until the end of the stage play. I honestly can't take a break," Aizou said. Even on his days off, he felt as though he was going to lose focus and still practiced reading his script and the songs and dances on his own.
It wasn't as though he didn't get tired, it was just similar to a live performance, so Aizou was already used to it.
He felt a knob poke his forehead and looked up, seeing Akechi holding out a lollipop to him.
"Make sure you're resting properly. Get a good night's sleep tonight."
(What are you, my mom?)
Aizou almost laughed out loud as he accepted the candy from him. "Yeah. Thanks." And then he remembered something. "Ah, sensei. Is Yujiro here too?"
"Hm? Wasn't he going to take up kyudo?"
"No? I haven't heard anything about that," Aizou almost rolled his eyes.
"Really? He was carrying an archery book around and asked me if the school had an kyudo club, so I assumed he was interested." Akechi turned his chair around and faced his computer.
His lunch seemed to be a sandwich placed next to his keyboard. It was a thick-sliced beef cutlet sandwich, a rare item that can only be found occasionally at the Sakuragaoka High School market. It was placed casually by his coffee.
"It's probably for his role in the play," Aizou commented. His character used a bow and arrow.
The musical they were performing in was set in a fantasy world, and was a story about two traveling heroes who slay a dragon. Aizou's weapon was a thin sword called a rapier, and Yujiro's was a bow called a longbow.
Since there are not many places to test them out, he wanted to try archery instead, no doubt for the role.
"Sensei, does our school have a Japanese archery club?" Since neither Aizou or Yujiro were in any clubs, they didn't have much knowledge on what clubs there were.
"I see...it's for the play," Akechi muttered to himself, before speaking out loud. "No. This school doesn't have an archery range. Are you two off this Saturday?"
"Yeah...I think so," Aizou recalled the schedule. It would seem they'd have to do make-up classes that day.
"Then after your lessons, you should clear your schedule. Tell Someya about it too."
"Huh? Why?"
"For a special extracurricular lesson," Akechi was smiling at him like he had something planned, while Aizou stared at him in confusion.
He left the staff room with his eyebrows furrowed, wondering what it all meant.
There were girls in the corridor, who spotted him. "Aahh! It's Aizou-kun! Kyaaaa!" They ran away quickly.
(What am I, a lion?)
Aizou sighed and peeled the wrapper off of the lollipop that Akechi gave him, pushing it into his mouth. Moments later, he gagged.
(Why the hell is it mustard flavored?!)
_
After make-up lessons on Saturday, Aizou and Yujiro headed for the parking lot behind the school, as instructed by Akechi. There weren't any students nearby, so they didn't stick out.
(And if Akechi gives me any candy, I absolutely won't eat it!!)
Aizou gripped his bag in determination. He would need to warn his partner if Akechi took any candy out.
Yujiro stared at him in confusion. "Why do you look constipated?"
"I'm taking a lot of precautions...because he's dangerous."
"Hm." Yujiro looked back at his phone with clear disinterest. Before long, a car stopped in front of both of them, with Akechi rolling his window down.
"Both of you, get in."
Aizou and Yujiro glanced at each other, but climbed into the back seat of his car, and saw another student sitting in the passenger seat of the car. It was Yamamoto Koudai, a student who was one year their senior.
"Hey. Nice to see you today." He said.
"Eh? Yamamoto-senpai? What are you doing here?"
Koudai held his camera up. "I was hoping to get your permission to do an interview for the school paper. I'm going to be including it in a special issue in the near future."
This also meant that the special lessons had been approved by the office.
"Are you guys hungry? I brought lunch," Akechi reached back, holding out a paper bag to them.
"Thank you very much." Both boys said. They peeked inside the bag and saw various buns and drinks from a nearby bakery, though they all looked sweet.
Koudai, up front, already secured a croquette bun.
"Let's get going then," Akechi began to drive.
Yujiro didn't hesitate to pick up a chocolate cornet and some cocoa. He saw Aizou glance at him, and held them closer to himself.
"What? I'm not sharing with you." He said while holding them tightly, as if he were protecting them.
(I don't want them...)
Aizou reached into the bag at random, pulling out a cream bun, he was about to open it, but then stopped himself.
(No, wait...Akechi-sensei bought this for me...)
It looked like a cream bun, but the filling might be made of mustard.
As Aizou cautiously checked, Yujiro sipped at his cocoa.
"Sensei, where are we going today?"
(Yeah, I'd like to know too!)
Neither of them were told where they were going. Akechi rested his elbow on the edge of the window, with his other hand on the steering wheel. He was driving slowly, as if he was practicing driving safely. That, or maybe Aizou was just used to being in Manager Uchida's car while she drove a bit recklessly.
"I know where an archery range is located. It's a little far though."
Yujiro looked at him in surprise. He had expressed his interest in it and likely hadn't expected that the teacher would take him there.
_
When they arrived at their destination, they got out of the car. He saw a martial arts building with black roof tiles and white exterior walls standing at the end of the parking lot. Akechi entered through the entrance and told the receptionist in the lobby what he wanted.
An elderly man in a brown cardigan soon emerged from the back office. He was wearing a black sleeveless vest, so Aizou guessed he was an office clerk. As he stared, Akechi bowed deeply to the man.
"Yatake-sensei. It's been a while."
"Akechi-kun, you're looking well," The man, Yatake, smiled and raised a hand. From his casual tone, Aizou supposed that the two knew each other well. "I'm looking forward to working with you two today."
Aizou quickly bowed his head as Akechi held firm. Yujiro also immediately bowed his head.
"We look forward to working with you!"
"Yes, now, who was it who wanted to learn kyudo?"
"It's me," Yujiro said, raising his hand.
"Then come on and go change your clothes."
Yatake looked into the office. "Tsujima-san, you have a kyudo uniform, right? Will you go get it for him?"
A woman's voice resonated from the office. "Yes sir!"
_
When Yujiro came out wearing his kyudo uniform, Yatake lead him down the hallway, with Aizou, Akechi and Koudai following.
After explaining how to handle the equipment and precautions, Yujiro began to start learning some basic movements. Aizou and Akechi watched from a distance while Koudai snapped some pictures. He'll probably take a lot and sort them out later.
Yatake then helps correct Yujiro's elbow height as he readies his bow. Afterwards, he walked towards Aizou and Akechi.
"How's he doing?" Akechi asked.
"His posture is very good. Has he done any other forms of martial arts before?" Yatake asked with a smile.
"No, but I've heard he's practiced dance."
"Ah, I see. That makes sense."
While listening to them, Aizou stared at Yujiro, who was practicing. He had the same serious look on his face that he always had when practicing.
(I mean, did I really have to come? Just Yujiro would have been fine...)
If all he was going to be doing was watching him, then there was no point in being there. Just as he thought so, the doors slammed open.
"Where are the people who want to learn kendo?!" A man in a kendo uniform asked loudly. Yujiro, who had been practicing, got startled and froze, his eyes widening.
"Ah, right here," Akechi grabbed Aizou's wrist and made him raise his hand.
(.......Eh?)
While Aizou stood in shock, Koudai aimed his camera at Aizou, and he heard the sound of him taking a photo.
(I didn't hear about this at all!!!)
Aizou was soon given a kendo uniform, protective gear, and shoved into a locker room. Though, unlike Yujiro, he had no idea how to put his uniform on.
As he struggled, the kendo instructor told him that he was "late", and hurried him along, before dragging him to the kendo hall.
"Now strike from anywhere!" The instructor shouted, holding out his shinai.
(That's what he says..!)
Aizou, with the spirit of a bear in the mountains, didn't dare take another step forward, knowing the shinai would swing and hit his head.
"What's wrong with you? You wouldn't even beat your weaker self!"
Aizou quickly blocked the instructor's shinai with his own, but was then easily pushed aside and landed on his back.
"Ouch!"
"Look at your slumped back! Is that all you got?!"
Aizou clenched his teeth, grabbing his shinai that was on the ground.
(I'm not going to let this get me down..!!)
Aizou slowly stood up with the strength in his knees and readied his shinai. "Ha!" But before he could do anything, the instructor's shinai smacked his head with a smash.
"Ouch!"
"You weren't ready!"
(This is why I don't want to get involved with Akechi-sensei! I'm sure to be in trouble!)
Aizou silently vowed never to take candy from Akechi or get in a car with him ever again.
"Come and get me, brat!"
"B-brat?!" While Aizou was startled, the shinai swung forward and smacked his face again. He was an amateur, but the instructor didn't seem willing to pull his punches. His relentless attacks were enough to bring tears to his eyes.
(How is this supposed to help my performance?!)
"You're getting pummeled! Come on, hit me, brat! Be bold!"
(I have no choice but to show him the true spirit of an idol..!)
Aizou readied his shinai, glaring harshly at the instructor. He did a side step, then quickly lunged forward...only to immediately get smacked in the torso with the shinai.
"Ouch!"
"What was that weird crab move? What kind of crab are you?!"
(I'm not a crab!)
After a long, torturous session, Aizou returned to the archery range. His entire body was sore.
Aizou thought Yujiro would be finished with his practice by now, but it seemed that his practice was still going on. Yujiro stood at the archery range, aiming straight at the target. He had been practicing for about two hours now, but he was looking good with the bow in his hands.
"You're doing good...you should hit the target," Yatake was muttering, looking satisfied.
Yujiro shot the arrow with a look of concentration. He kept his posture as the arrow flew through the air. Koudai continued to take pictures.
The arrow hit the target, just as Yatake said. The corners of Yujiro's lips lifted up into a small smile.
It was after five o clock when they both finished training, cleaned up and changed their clothes, and left the martial arts hall. Yatake came to see them off.
"Thank you for teaching them today."
Following Akechi's lead, Aizou, Yujiro, and Koudai all bowed their heads. "Thank you very much!"
Yatake smiled and patted Akechi on the shoulder. "Take care of yourself, Akechi-kun, and come see me again."
"Yes...you take care of yourself too, sensei."
After bowing once more, the four headed to the parking lot.
"...So how was it over there?" Yujiro asked, looking over at Aizou.
"Don't ask." Aizou said flatly as Koudai stood to the side, listening to their conversation.
"I got some pretty good pictures."
"Yamamoto-senpai, did you watch me too?"
"It's an interview for the both of you," Koudai replied happily...which meant he saw and photographed that unattractive mess.
Aizou slapped his hand over his face and sighed.
"Was it really so hard? Kendo practice, I mean."
"I mean, it wasn't really hard, but it was the first time I was called a brat," Aizou frowned as he recalled the training. Yujiro's eyes widened, and he covered his mouth with a laugh.
"A brat..?!"
"It was a mess there, unlike your practice."
"Normal people don't usually say that so quickly. What did you do?"
"I don't know."
"Pfft...ahahahahahaha!" Yujiro started laughing, unable to hold back anymore. His hands flew to his stomach as he doubled over.
"You don't have to laugh so hard!" Aizou's face turned red, only to hear the sound of a photo being taken.
Both Aizou and Yujiro turned towards Koudai at the same time, only to see Koudai smiling at them.
"This is a good shot."
"Th-th-that isn't a good shot, Yamamoto-senpai!"
"...You just caught me off guard."
"Okay, you three. Just get in the car so that we can all go home," Akechi said as he opened the driver's door.
The three of them glanced back at each other, then quickly got into the car.
_
Yujiro, apparently wiped out, fell asleep in the backseat of the car. Aizou, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Akechi.
"Hey, Akechi-sensei? Did Yatake-sensei teach you archery?"
"No. That was my high school literature teacher," Akechi answered. Koudai, who was in the passenger's seat, also looked at Akechi in interest. "I heard that he'd already retired and was teaching kyudo there, so I got in touch with him. If it wasn't for something like this, I wouldn't have gotten in touch with him."
"So he's the former teacher of our teacher, Akechi-sensei." Koudai said.
"Well, yeah," Akechi chuckled.
Outside, the sun had set and raindrops started to hit the window.
"If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be a literature teacher as I am now...back then, I didn't understand the point of doing literature..." Akechi seemed to be mumbling to himself.
"So why did you decide to become a literature teacher?" Aizou leaned forward and asked. There was a slight pause before Akechi responded, staring at the raindrops with a nostalgic expression.
"...Yatake-sensei once told us in class that literature is the thoughts of people who were alive at that time and place, and that they are proof that they existed. Hearing that, I thought that leaving something behind and passing it on to the next person must be meaningful, and could be my role."
Both Aizou and Koudai listened to him, as if reliving his memory.
"...That's why," Akechi's tone returned to it's usual aloof tone, and said no more.
Yujiro, who should have been sleeping, was awake before Aizou knew it and stared ahead stoically.
(Proof of our existence...)
He was sure the stage play they were going to be on was going to be like that too.
They didn't want anyone to forget they were there.
They wanted to remain in peoples hearts deeply, forever.
They will put everything they have and do their best to engrave proof that they were alive and that they existed there.
That was the way of life that he and Yujiro chose.
