The Memories of Jin-Gi-Oh Cards
Backstage Stories
| Ichiro | Happy birthday. Here’s our present for ya. |
| Azami | Ah… thank you. |
| Yakuza A | Bou! Happy birthday! |
| Yakuza B | Happy birthday! |
| Azami | Thanks. |
| Ichiro | Boucchan’s gotten big now, huh. You were just below my knees when you were small. |
| Azami | Ain’t that an exaggeration? |
| Ichiro | Even the president’s in high spirits celebrating Boucchan’s birthday. |
| Azami | Not really… There ain’t much to celebrate. |
| Ichiro | He looked quite pleased when he received the bouquet from before[1]. |
| Ichiro | Did you know he displayed them on a vase for some time? |
| Azami | ...Oh, really. |
| Ichiro | ... |
| Azami | ...Do you have something to do? |
| Ichiro | Huh? |
| Azami | It’s because you’ve been concerned at the time. |
| Ichiro | Ah… no, it’s nothing. |
| Azami | Oh yeah, where’s Ken-san today? |
| Ichiro | Ah… Today he said he’s out doing a very important errand. |
| Azami | Oh... |
| Azami | Well then, it’s about time I go back. |
| Ichiro | Already? |
| Azami | Shitty Sakyo told me to go home as early as I can. |
| Ichiro | Ah… Wait, hold on for a bit. |
| Ichiro | ... |
| Azami | ? |
| Ichiro | ...Well, I guess it should be fine now. |
| Azami | Ichiro-san? |
| Ichiro | Oh nevermind. Take care. |
| Azami | Yeah. See ya. |
| Azami | ...I’m home. |
| Sakoda | Azami, we’ve been waitin’~! |
| Azami | ...Ken-san? Why are you here-- |
| Taichi | Hehe, the surprise is a success~! This year, Sakoda-san’s celebrating your birthday with us! |
| Azami | ...So, you actually didn’t have plans? |
| Sakoda | Sorry! I wanted to surprise ya, so I got Makita-san’s cooperation. |
| Omi | For now, since the food’s ready, let’s sit down. |
| Azami | -- |
| Shishito no kushi[2]… | |
| Sakoda | These skewers were made by me and Fushimi-san! |
|
CHOICE 1: Last year, Sakyo-san... [+]
|
|
|
CHOICE 2: We went shopping together [+]
|
|
| Banri | Well, Sakoda-san’s skills were so bad that it took a long time for it to be over with. |
| Juza | We got Makita-san to buy us some time for that. |
| Azami | So that’s why... |
| Thanks, Ken-san. I’m very happy. | |
| Sakoda | Of course I’d do this much, it is my precious Azami’s birthday! |
| Banri | Man, he’s really honest in front of Sakoda-san. |
| Taichi | It’s different from Sakyo-nii’s situation! |
| Omi | He’s in his rebellious phase so he can’t be honest with his parents. |
| Azami | Huh? It ain’t like that. |
| Sakyo | He’s still a kid, huh. |
| Banri | Whatcha grinning for, Ossan? |
| Sakyo | Huh? |
| Izumi | Hey now, the specially made food’s gonna get cold. |
| Azami | ...Itadakimasu. |
| ... | |
| Sakoda | It’s a bit burnt but… how is it? |
| Azami | This tastes amazing, Ken-san. |
| Sakoda | I’m glad~! I put a lotta effort in making this for you! |
| But the number one secret ingredient is my love! Make sure to eat a lot, alright? | |
| Azami | Thank you very much. |
| Juza | ... |
| Banri | What’s with this exchange? |
| Taichi | They’re like newlyweds! |
| Omi | Speaking of handmade stuff, has Sakyo-san gotten something Sakoda-san made as well? |
| Sakyo | ...Yeah, I guess. |
| Sakoda | It’s nothing big but even my meals are overflowing with love and even the reaction…! |
| Azami | Heh. I think I’ve gotten much more stuff from you though, right, Ken-san? |
| Sakoda | That might be true! |
| Sakyo | Oi. |
| Sakoda | !! |
| Izumi | (Somehow, this feels like deja vu…!) |
| Sakoda | A-Aniki! Please don’t get mad! Don’t worry ‘cause Aniki’s my number one! |
| Sakyo | Don’t say such gross things. Just go away. |
| Sakoda | Of course, Azami’s important, too! |
| Banri | The hell’s happening? |
| Taichi | It’s just like a harem! |
| Sakoda | Ah, right! Today, I brought these! |
| Izumi | Huh? Could those cards be... |
| Sakyo | Geez, why’d you have to bring those? |
| Taichi | What are these? |
| Sakoda | They’re Jin-Gi-Oh cards! |
| Izumi | Those are Sakyo-san and Azami-kun’s handmade trading cards from a long time ago, right? |
| Sakoda | Yup! I wanna see you two have a Jin-Gi-Oh card showdown! |
| Izumi | You haven’t seen them yet? |
| Sakoda | That’s right! But, that time around Azami’s rebellious phase-- |
| Azami | Sigh... |
| Hmm? | |
 |
|
| Azami | ... |
| ! | |
| Sakoda | Azami, did you only come back now? It’s awfully late. |
| Azami | ...Yeah but, have you come to scold me, too? |
| Sakoda | That’s not it. Have you eaten yet? |
| Azami | I ate at Shifuto’s place. |
| *stomach growling* | |
| ... | |
| Sakoda | Thought so, which is why I made rice balls. |
| Azami | ...Did Ken-san handmake these? |
| Sakoda | The shape’s pretty bad though. |
| Azami | ...Thanks. Itadakimasu. |
| Sakoda | Hey, Azami. The president and aniki are both worried, you know? |
| Azami | ...It has nothing to do with them. |
| Sakoda | Even if you say that-- hmm? |
| What are these bundle of papers? | |
| Azami | ...I-It’s nothing. |
| Sakoda | Now that I think about it, those bundle of papers that he hid that time were the Jin-Gi-Oh cards~ |
| Azami | W-Why do you remember somethin’ like that? |
| Sakyo | ... |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san’s happy, too, huh~ |
| Banri | I didn’t think you’d take good care of those cards during your rebellious phase. |
| Omi | It's like familial love. |
| Azami | I-It ain’t like that! |
| Taichi | But hey, Aa-chan’s pretty good at drawing~ |
| Juza | Looks like somethin’ Kumon would like. |
| Omi | It’s pretty well made. |
| Banri | Is this Sakyo-san’s handwriting, too? |
| Sakoda | That handwriting belongs to Aniki’s mother! |
| Sakyo | You don’t have to tell them every single detail. |
| Taichi | I wanna see Sakyo-nii and Azami’s showdown, too! |
| Azami | ...I’m not a kid anymore so I’m not doing it. |
| Sakoda | I’m beggin’ ya, Azami! |
| Azami | ...If Ken-san says so then fine. |
| Banri | That was too easy. |
| Azami | Of course, it is Ken-san who asked me. |
| Juza | How kind. |
| Azami | ...Hmph. |
| I’m not gonna lose to you a bastard like you, shitty Sakyo. I’m gonna beat you to a pulp! | |
| Sakyo | Bring it on! |

Notes
- ↑ I’m guessing this was when he gave a bouquet of flowers as a birthday gift for his father in this card’s backstage story.
- ↑ Sweet green pepper skewer, one of Azami’s favorite foods.
