[Chinatown] Kazuna Masunaga

SSR [Chinatown]

Tsubasa: (We have some times before the music program starts recording.In the meantime, I will let everyone rest in the waiting room.) 

 

Kazuna: Sumisora-san, do you have a moment to spare? 

 

Tsubasa: Masunaga-san, is there something of the matter? 

 

Kazuna: Can I consult you with something?

 

Tsubasa: I'm open.

 

Hikaru: Hey hey, what is Chinatown famous for? 

 

Tatsuhiro: It has to be Chinese food. 

 

Mikado: That's not all there is, Tatsu-dono. It is also famous for fortune-telling and sweet theme park! Also, lion dance is one of the wonders. 

 

Hikaru: Sweet theme park!? Pretty neat! 

 

Momotaro: Lion dance ...? Cool. 

 

Tsubasa: (Hikaru-kun and the others are talking excitedly about Chinatown ...)

 

Kazuna: Everyone is looking forward to the Chinatown event. 

 

Tsubasa: Hehe, looks like it! Oh right, what was it you want to consult about? 

 

Kazuna: It is about the upcoming Chinatown event. I am wondering if it possible to do a location hunting in advance? 

 

Tsubasa: Location hunting? 

 

Kazuna: Yes. At the event, we are to introduce Chinatown to everyone and make a recommendation spots on the stage. 

 

Tsubasa: Right, you will have to find time to look around Chinatown to make a recommendation before the event. 

 

Kazuna: Correct, but the deadline is short before the event which is tricky. Going up on stage and not knowing anything would be quite a shame. 

 

Tsubasa: You're right ... 

 

Look at him asking her to come along with this puppy eyes

Kazuna: So about the location hunting, I was thinking if Sumisora-san could accompany me? What do you say? 

 

Tsubasa: (It seems Masunaga-san is determined to go on a location hunting in advance. Because of this event, BPRO is selected as an ambassador and tasked to represent Chinatown and Masunaga-san was selected as the representative of the opening show. He probably feels pressured by this project.)

 

Tsubasa was overthinking it got Kazu sweating. Please give him an answer, Tsubasa!

 

Kazuna: Sumisora-san?

 

Tsubasa: I-I'm sorry! Let us check the schedule! 

 

Kazuna: It will likely be very crowded on the weekends so I think weekdays are better to visit.

 

Tsubasa: Let's see, weekdays .... how about Wednesday? 

 

Kazuna: Next Wednesday sounds good.

 

Tsubasa: Okay, it's decided. 

 

Kazuna: Thank you so much.

 

 

-Chinatown- 

 

 

Tsubasa: According to the guidebook, this has to be the Main Street.

 

Kazuna: That explains why there are many people around here. Look over there. There are children on school excursions. Hehe, they look just like us, everyone is holding a guidebook and being excited.

 

Tsubasa: Yea, they look like they are having fun. 

 

Kazuna: If we look at it in another way, was our first time in Chinatown is just as thrilled as them? 

 

Tsubasa: (Masunaga-san seems to be in a good spirit today more than usual. He has probably been looking forward to this outing.)

 

Kazuna: I smell something good from somewhere ... what is this smell? 

 

Tsubasa: Oh! They are selling meat ships here! 

 

Kazuna: So that's where the smell came from!

 

Tsubasa: This store has broiled sweet chestnut .... and here they sell Xiao Long Bao  (Chinese dumpling).

 

Kazuna: Everything looks so delicious. If I recall correctly, there should include a walking food map on the guidebook?

 

Tsubasa: There is! According to the map, the popular ones like Beijing duck, shark fin soup, egg tart, and shaved ice are included on this map. 

 

Kazuna: There certainly have a wide selections of food stores to visit. If Hikaru was here, he would be running wild. 

 

Tsubasa : Hehe, I can imagine that. 

 

Kazuna: Hey, that straps ...

 

Tsubasa: What it is?

 

Kazuna: I see they are selling these chili pepper straps here and I have noticed other stores sell them too. Do they perhaps signify something?

 

Tsubasa: Probably effective against evil beings? 

 

Kazuna: Could be. Let's ask the store owner. 

 

Tourist A: Hey, that guy, could it be ...

 

Tourist B: You are on to something. He does look like Masunaga-kun. What do we do? Try calling out?

 

Tourist A: Hmm, but it would embarrassing if it is not him ...

 

Tsubasa: (Those two looks like they recognized Masunaga-san. What to do .. if they come at us it could cause commotion ...)

 

Kazuna: Sumisora-san ...

 

Tsubasa: Ah ... (Masunaga-san grabbed my hand ...)

 

Kazuna: I don't think they have truly noticed us yet. Let us find a store and go inside. 

The teahouse over there looks nice. Let's go in. 

 

Tsubasa: Y-Yes.

 

 

- Inside a teahouse -  

 

 

 

Kazuna: This teahouse seems to have a café section. I wasn't able to see the store properly before entering but this was better than I had thought.

 

Tsubasa: You are right ... (It doesn't look like the fans followed after us. Maybe I was overthinking it all.)

 

Kazuna: ..... I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Tsubasa: Hm? 

 

Kazuna: I thought in advance I wanted to find my own recommendation spot but I couldn't decide upon which for the event. Nothing is going well and it's not working out.

 

Tsubasa: Don't think so negative! This advance location hunting is going to be a success for the event! And also, we nearly were exposed by the fans but thanks to Masunaga-san's fast thinking and calm response, we were saved! In fact, I'm grateful for your save. 

 

Kazuna: Sumisora-san...

 

Tsubasa: In such a case, I should have been the calm one to respond. I apologize ... 

 

Kazuna: You don't have to. The fact that you are here with me on this date, I am truly grateful for that.

 

Tsubasa: But ---

 

Kazuna: It seems we have a mutual feeling in regard to this case, so how about we just cease this? 

 

Tsubasa: Hehe, you're right. Alright.

 

Tsubasa: It is amazing there are so many kinds of tea flavors display here! 

 

Store clerk: That tea has a great effect on a beautiful body.

 

Tsubasa: Beautiful body?

 

Store clerk: Yes. Its sweet scent is a popular tea choice among women but also has an effect of improving metabolism and detoxifying. As for the tea besides that, it has an effect against common cold and reduces eye strain.

 

Tsubasa: Amazing. Different types of teas have various effects depending on choices.

 

Kazuna: This tea here has an effect to prevent tooth decay. 

 

Tsubasa: Just looking at all this is quite fun.

 

Kazuna: Yes. That cold prevention tea caught my interest. I'm going to buy it. By the way, I could also get these as a souvenir for the members as well. Hmm .. Sumisora-san, what do you think I should get?

 

Tsubasa: Let's see ... How about this refreshing tea?

 

Kazuna: Good idea. This one then. Wait here, I'll go pay.

 

Tsubasa: Okay. (Tea as the souvenirs for all the members ... I can see he is very fond of everyone.)

 

Kazuna: Since we are here, why don't we enjoy our time at the café a little more before we leave? 

 

Tsubasa: Sure, why not.

 

Kazuna: What does Sumisora-san want to drink? 

 

Tsubasa: I would like to have a jasmine tea, thank you. What is Masunaga-san going to have? 

 

Kazuna: I want to try the cold preventing ones, so I will go for Pu'er tea. Excuse me, can I make an order?

 

Store clerk: Sorry for keeping you waiting, what do you wish to order? 

 

Kazuna: An iced jasmine tea and a hot Pu'er tea, please.

 

Store clerk: Understood.

 

Tsubasa: Not long until the Chinatown event begins. Today is a weekday so there are few people around but once the holiday season hit, it will surely be crowded with people visiting to attend the event. 

 

Kazuna: I also believe that. Everyone and the members are looking so much forward to this event, we are all busy preparing hard for it. 

 

Tsubasa: Yes

 

Kazuna: Mikado and Momo are going to do a performance for the event, which is lion dance. They are practicing for it because there is a lot to memorize but however difficult it was, they both had a very fulfilling face when I see them. As for Hikaru, he is extremely motivated to try out various food it got Tatsu on edge and concern for him. 

 

Tsubasa: (He really is looking out for everyone.) What about Masunaga-san?

 

Kazuna: Me? Of course, I am looking forward to it but I will admit I'm nervous about the opening ceremony. 

 

Tsubasa: Really? That's a relief. 

 

Kazuna: Relief ????  

 

Tsubasa: Masunaga-san always seems to prioritize everybody else over himself so because of that I was worried if you aren't enjoying yourself enough. It's a Chinatown event and I wish you to have fun. 

 

Kazuna: Sumisora-san ... 

 

Tsubasa: Of course, nervousness will hit before and once the greeting starts, but by all means I want Masunaga-san to relax and let loose.

 

Kazuna: You have been giving so many thoughts for me. Thank you. But that also applies to Sumisora-san too, right?

 

Tsubasa: Hm? 

 

Kazuna: I too want Sumisora-san to have fun. 

 

 

- Chinatown ceremony day -

 

 

Tsubasa: (The opening ceremony of the Chinatown event will begin in a moment ...) Masunaga-san, soon its time to go out there, are you ready? 

 

Kazuna: Yes, I will be fine. 

 

Mikado: The moments have come. I can glare at leader's majestic figure as the man he is! 

 

Hikaru: I am sooooo excited! Leader, do your best! 

 

Tatsuhiro: I leave it up to you.

 

Momotaro: If its leader, it will be alright. 

 

Kazuna: ..... yea, thanks. 

 

Tsubasa: After the opening ceremony, you will have to be relocated so by then, everyone please be prepared.

 

Hikaru: Okay! 

 

Kazuna: This costume is kind of hard to move in, I hope I don't trip when I get on the stage. 

 

Tsubasa: (Masunaga-san seems to be nervous. Just a moment ago, he kept checking on the greeting memo a lot of times ...) 

 

Mikado: Leader, it's going to be fine. 

 

Kazuna: eh? 

 

Hikaru: Indeed! You have been location hunting and prepared well for this, it will totally go well! 

 

Tatsuhiro: I get it you're nervous, your whole shoulder is in dejection so lose it up. 

 

Kazuna: You guys...

 

Momotaro: Here.

 

Kazuna: Water bottle? 

 

Momotaro: It's the souvenir leader brought back for us. Jasmine tea has a relaxing effect, doesn't it?

 

Kazuna: Momo .... thank you.

 

Kazuna: .... undoubtedly, delicious. The scent from the jasmine flowers scent flows through my nose it makes me feel refreshed. Everyone, thank you.

 

Tsubasa: Masunaga-san, its time ...

 

Kazuna: Alright, let's go have a blast out there. Come on.
