[Gemstone] Tomohisa Kitakado

 

Tomohisa:

Today's recording went by smoothly thanks to the veterans and co-starred guests who were with us. They made it so easy. 

 

Tsubasa:

So I take that all the talking and the showcase went well? I heard from the producer they were very pleased and wants to cooperate with you two again.

 

Tomohisa: 

That's great to hear. But it also thanks to Tsubasa's effort and support that we made it well this far. 

 

Ryuuji: 

Tsubasa's advice has been most helpful through everything so far, even up till now. 

 

Tomohisa:

Advice?

 

Ryuuji:

Remember that women's teen magazine I was featured on? I was part of the coordination team. 

 

Tomohisa:

Ah, yes. You were selected to have a part in it.

 

Ryuuji:

Because the coordination is a women's clothes, back then too I leaned on Tsubasa's advice. Tsubasa has surprisingly good sense.

 

Tsubasa:

Y-You're giving me too much credit...

 

Tomohisa:

Heh, if it's coming from Ryuuji, it must be real. In that case, I hope I can lean on Tsubasa as well. I have something I have in need of advice on, is that okay with you? 

 

Tsubasa: 

If it is something within my power, please let me know and I will do my best!

 

Tomohisa: 

Thank you. I'm counting on you then. 

 

Ryuuji:

Be careful, Tsubasa. If Tomo has some outrageous request, let me know. 

 

Tsubasa:

Eh? 

 

Tomohisa: 

You don't have look so worried. Don't worry. I don't have any strange question or ask you to do anything odd as Ryuuji indicate. The thing is I want to give a present to my sister so I'm wondering what would be a good present for her? I want opinions on what women want and I would appreciate it if you can help me choose one.

 

Ryuuji: 

Oh, that's oddly a legit request!? 

(Ryuuji probably expected Tomo to flirt with Tsubasa)

 

Tomohisa:

What do you say to it, Tsubasa? 

 

Tsubasa:

"font-size:11px""font-size:11px"If it is for that, then I am happy to be part of it!

 

Tomohisa: 

Thank you. I already have a store in mind for the gift, we can go there on our way home. Would Ryuuji like to tag along?

 

Ryuuji:

Well, I do want to join in but I already have something planned ahead. Tsubasa, you know I have to drop by this store.

 

Tsubasa:

Ah, is that the new sweet store that just opened?

 

Ryuuji:

Yup! I promised Yuta we will go there~

Ah, look at the time. I need to hurry, or I'll make Yuta wait. 

 

Tomohisa: 

Okay, let us all head out then.

 

 

-In front of a jewellery store-

 

 

Tomohisa:

Sorry for making you come along. But thanks to Tsubasa for being here with me, we found a great present.

 

Tsubasa:

You're welcome! I am glad we found something nice. But who would have thought it would be at a jewellery store...

 

Tomohisa:

Hm? I frequent here a lot so I thought this was a good place where women would like as a gift.

 

Tsubasa: 

(It was such a luxury store too... nothing out of the ordinary of Kitakado-san for sure...) Besides, I was surprised there is a VIP room in the back and the manager even came out to greet us. I felt overwhelmed.  

 

Tomohisa:

Hehe. I will make sure to let them know that when the next time Tsubasa visit this store, they will have to show you the private room. 

 

Tsubasa: 

N-No, that's fine! But was I even useful though? Kitakado-san seemed more familiar with the jewellery than I was. In fact, I felt more like I learned a lot from you than anything.

 

Tomohisa:

You did? But I just thought explaining the terms and their history would be helpful for Tsubasa to sense what would be best to get. I am thankful for your company and your opinions. By the way, are you sure you don't want anything from the store? I wanted to give you something as a thank for coming out with me...

 

Tsubasa: 

W-Well, I can't have you buy me jewellery...!

 

Tomohisa:

But--

 

Tsubasa:

Its really fine, so don't worry about it!! I hope your sister will be pleased with the present. 

 

Tomohisa:

Yes, I am sure she will like it.

 

Tsubasa: 

(It's so thoughtful of him to give a present to his older sister who has been far away. The siblings seem to get along quite well)

 

Tomohisa:

So Tsubasa, do you have more time?

 

Tsubasa:

I don't have any more urgent things to do today so I'm free.

 

Tomohisa:

Well then, I appreciate it if you can spend a little more time with me. I really want to thank you properly for going out with me so I would like to treat you to some delicious sweets. How does that sound?

 

Tsubasa:

I will take you on that offer. Thank you. 

 

 

-At the sweet store-

 

 

Tsubasa:

Waa...! This cake, it's topped with red crush jelly, and it's glittering and packed beautifully, don't you think?

 

Tomohisa:

Hehe, I agree.

 

Tsubasa: 

It kind of reminded me of the gem we saw at the store we visited earlier. 

 

Tomohisa:

Red gem ... Maybe we should have gotten that ruby after all? 

 

Tsubasa:

Now you are making me nervous thinking she might've liked that one better.

 

Tomohisa:

That is just so Tsubasa.

 

Tsubasa: 

You mentioned earlier that you frequented the jewellery store. I take it that you like jewellery and accessories?

 

Tomohisa:

Hm... rather than accessories, my interests lay in gemstones. Did you know that gemstones have existed for hundreds of millions of years? It's unbelievable how by chance they continue to be found and now they are in our hands. When I think about it, just staring at the strangeness of the jewellery piqued my curiosity.

 

Tsubasa:

I have never given it a thought before, but sometimes my encounter with jewellery did have had me wonder its mystery. It could be by chance that Kitakado-san chose the shining beauty of the jewel as a gift. 

 

Tomohisa:

Well, yes. We all get attracted to the shining gems, but they aren't something that was easily created. 

 

Tsubasa:

(It seems it wasn't a simple admiration he had for them, but he took into account how they were created and the procedure it took to get in our hands. Kitakado-san likes jewel for that background.) I had mostly been distracted by the outer beauty of the jewel, but the inside story of their creation is also another wonder. 

 

Tomohisa:

I agree that their appearances are an indispensable part of its wonder. 

... Such a beauty. A person's instinct would be to want to touch them and hold it in their hands. 

 

Tsubasa:

Hehe, I believe the kind of jewel that Kitakado-san likes must be very valuable ones.

 

Tomohisa:

You could say that. It's something you will rarely find, it's a little clumsy. However, it's the most exceptional gem of them all. Always supporting everyone from behind the scenes. A warm and gentle gem. They are the kind of gem that is very precious to me.  

 

Tsubasa:

Hm...? (Is he implying something?)

 

Tomohisa:

Ah, I have kept you occupied with my talking. Come, let's eat this cake.
