Tsumugi Tsukioka/Appetizing Bouquet
From A3! Wiki
Interior of Summer
Backstage StoriesTsumugi | Alright, I guess that’ll do. |
(I started cleaning to help the Manager, but it does feels nice having things neat and tidy after all.) | |
… | |
Manager | Are you finished, Tsukioka-san~? |
Tsumugi | Manager. |
I just happened to finish just now. | |
Manager | You know, you really saved my skin by lending a hand. |
Thanks so much! | |
Tsumugi | Oh, no, if it’s simply cleaning, then I’ll help out any time. |
Manager | Anyways, it’s hot today, isn’t it? |
Let’s take a break and drink some barley tea. I’ll prepare it! | |
Tsumugi | Thank you very much. |
Manager | Then, to the lounge—. |
Tsumugi | …Um, Manager! |
Manager | Yes, what’s the matter~? |
Tsumugi | I thought this while I was cleaning just now… but doesn’t it look a little lonely around here? |
Manager | You mean..? |
Tsumugi | It's fine to keep things simple by not placing too many things out. But it's been getting hotter recently—. |
So I thought it would also be nice for this place to have some cool interior designs to give it a summery feel. | |
Manager | A summer-like interior, huh~. |
Do you have any items that would work? | |
Tsumugi | I mean, I haven’t come up with anything concrete yet… |
Manager | I see. I’ll do my part to search too, in that case. |
I bet there’ll be something or other if I go to the storage room! | |
And if you’ve got anything nice, you can place it out, Tsukioka-san. | |
Tsumugi | Right! |
I’ll search a bit as well. | |
The flowerbed care tools… I wonder if this many is enough? | |
Excuse me, I’d like these. | |
Store clerk | Thank you very much. |
Tsumugi | …Hm? |
(A small potted plant that has colourful sand instead of soil? It’s the first time I’ve seen this…!) | |
This is really beautiful! | |
Store clerk | That’s called sand art. |
I’m the one who made that pot. | |
Tsumugi | Eh, by yourself? |
That’s amazing. | |
Store clerk | Not at all. It’s relatively simple if you use a special kit. |
Actually, this is just a quick sample of a kit I made. | |
Tsumugi | Heh, a sand art kit… |
Store clerk | If it’s piqued your interest, then please give it a try as well, dear customer! |
We have good number of kits that just arrived. | |
Tsumugi | (This might be perfect for our summer interior design, right?) |
Alright, I’ll take one of these as well. | |
Store clerk | Thank you very much! |
Tsumugi | Alright, I wonder if I’ll be able to make it well. |
(I see, you can add original plants in addition to the decorations that come with the kit.) | |
First off, I’ll read the instructions—. | |
Izumi | I’m back. |
Ah, Tsumugi-san. | |
Tsumugi | Welcome home, Director! |
Izumi | (Tsumugi-san looks like he’s in a good mood. |
I wonder if something nice happened?) | |
Hm? “Homemade Kit”? | |
Are you going to make something, Tsumugi-san? | |
Tsumugi | Yes, I’m thinking of attempting this thing called sand art right now! |
Izumi | Sand art? |
Tsumugi | You place decorations or insert small plants on top of colourful sand that’s been layered… see, just like this picture here. |
Izumi | Wow, you can make something this pretty yourself? |
Tsumugi | Yes. This is the kit for that! |
Izumi | Heh, that sounds interesting… |
Tsumugi | Do you want to make one with me, Director? |
I thought one would be lonely, so I bought two. | |
Izumi | Is that ok? You’re the one who bought them wanting to make them… |
Tsumugi | Not at all, I’m sure it will be more fun making them together. |
So let’s do it together! | |
Izumi | If you insist. |
Alright, I’ll take this challenge on with you then! | |
Tsumugi | Little by little while turning the glass… |
Ahh, the colours got mixed. | |
Izumi | It’s fine, just act like you mixed the colours on purpose! |
Tsumugi | Y-yeah, right! |
I’ll do that. | |
Izumi | Huh, the colours don’t match as well as I thought. |
Maybe it would’ve been better to add another colour? | |
Tsumugi | I think it’s nice that it has originality to it this way. |
Izumi | T-thank you very much. |
Tsumugi | …Hmm, the layers aren’t coming out as pretty as I imagined. |
I guess it's better to pack it down more firmly before adding more on top. | |
Izumi | You’re right. The previous layers fall apart if you just shake it a little…! |
Tsumugi | It’s surprisingly difficult even when we use a kit… |
Izumi | Phew, it’s done…! |
Tsumugi | They’re finally finished, huh? |
Izumi | Yeah! |
Tsumugi | It was hard to get the hang of it at first, but it became quite fun once we got used to it, right? |
CHOICE 1: I want to do more [+]
|
|
CHOICE 2: They’re not like the sample [+]
|
|
*Sigh*, I wish I could do better now on the bottom part, which is what I did first~. | |
*door opens* | |
Chikage | I’m home. …Oh my? |
The two of you are holding some interesting looking things. | |
Izumi | Welcome back, Chikage-san. |
These are sand art! | |
Tsumugi | I thought they might work for the summer interior of the dorm. So we used kits to make them. |
Chikage | Heh, so they’re originals by you two. |
No wonder… | |
Izumi | W-what do you mean? |
Chikage | Ah, no. I think they’re creative designs. |
No one else could have made them but you two. | |
Tsumugi | Creative… |
Chikage | The layers of sand are blended together, and the thickness of the layers stabilize as they go up from the bottom… |
Well, they’re designs I don’t usually see around. | |
So I thought, “this is the originality of the two of you”. | |
Izumi | E-exactly! |
Right, Tsumugi-san! | |
Tsumugi | Eh? Y-yeah. |
Chikage | They’re for the interior of the dorm, right? |
I’m looking forward to seeing them displayed. | |
Izumi | Umm… If Chikage-san praised us, then does that mean we were able to hide the parts we messed up on? |
Tsumugi | Ahaha… I feel like we were probably being told we’re clumsy in a roundabout way. |
