Sana: Dad’ll...

覚えっててくれてる...よね
Sana: ...remember what day it is...won’t he?

そういえばさなちゃん
Sugino: By the way,

文化祭で水城の歌歌ったんだって？
Sugino: I heard you sang one of Mizuki’s songs at the festival.

何歌ったの？
Sugino: Which one did you sing?

あ...あの一番新しいのを...
Sana: H-His latest song...

「Mazes」？
Sugino: Mazes?

へ―――すごいじゃん
Sugino: Wow! That’s amazing!

あれ難しかったでしょ
Sugino: It’s a really tough piece.

サビんとことか
Sugino(side): It’s simple yet elegant.

プロでもなかなか
Sugino(handwritten): Even pros struggle with it.

あ...いえなんとか全部歌ったことは歌ったんですが
Sana: Well, I managed to sing it the whole way through...

でも俺　皆からジャイアンって呼ばれるようになっちゃって...
Sana: ...but now everyone’s calling me “Jaian” all the time...

なんでかな...
Sana(handwritten): I wonder why...

ぎゃーッはははは
Naoki(handwritten): Bwa ha ha ha ha!

Page 3

ひーひー
SFX: Wheeze Wheeze

はー
Naoki(side): Phew!

「Mazes」程度の歌でそこまでウケとれるっつーのもすげーなお前
Naoki: It’s incredible you got that kind of reception after singing something like Mazes.

その犯罪的な音痴は狙いかよ
Naoki: You’re so tone-deaf it’s a crime!

こと
SFX: Click

げ
Sugino(handwritten): Shit!

こ...こら水城　お前はまたなんてことを！！
Sugino: D-Damn it, Mizuki! There you go again!!

音...
Sana(handwritten): Tone...

ガーン
SFX: Shoulders Drop

あー、はらいてえ
Naoki(handwritten): I busted my gut!

すぷん。
Note: Spoon.

んじゃま
Naoki: So how’s this?

聞かせてやるよ
Naoki: I’ll let you hear the real deal.

本物の麻生水城のアカペラ生「Mazes」
Naoki: The real Asou Mizuki’ll sing Mazes a cappella just for you.

しあわせもんだねーさなちゃんは
Naoki(handwritten): You’re such a lucky dog, Sana-chan.

ずーん
SFX: Gloom

ヒドイ
Sana(handwritten): You’re evil.

こ...このイジメっこ
Sugino(handwritten): He’s such a bully.

完璧
Note: Perfect

さきいか。
Note: Squid tentacle.

あれ？
Sugino: Huh?

さなちゃん20日何かあるの？
Sugino: Is something happening on the 20th?

Page 4

んーと
Sugino(handwritten): Let’s see...

水城の誕生日でもないし
Sugino: It isn’t Mizuki’s birthday.

さなちゃんのでもないよね
Sugino: And I’m pretty sure it isn’t your B’day.

あ
Sana: Oh,

それは母さ...
Sana: That’s Mom’s--

お前天下の麻生水城がせっかくライブで歌ってやってるっつーのにシカトかよ
Naoki: The one and only Asou Mizuki’s givin’ a live performance and you think you can blow it off?!

あ！？
Naoki: HUH?!

ゴス
SFX: Whack

あらららら困ったちゃんだことー
Naoki: Deary me. You’re such a troubled child.

んじゃシカトついでにビール買ってこいよ
Naoki: Go buy me some beer to make up for blowing me off.

3ケース
Noaki: Get three cases.

ハイコレ。
Naoki(handwritten): Here, take this.

さ...3ケースって...
Sana: Th-Three cases...?

で...でも冷蔵庫にもまだ入っているし買い置きもちゃんと...
Sana: B-But we’ve still got some in the ’fridge and pantry...

それはエビスパパが今飲みたいのは黒エビス
Naoki: We’ve got Ebisu and I wanna drink Black Ebisu.

ええっ！？
Sana: What?!

...ケースってアナタ...
Sugino(handwritten): Cases? Seriously now...

で
Sana(side): But-!

でも父さんエビスビールもよく飲んでるしこの間も好きって...
Sana: But you drink Ebisu all the time. Just the other day you said you love it...

砂名ちゃん
Naoki: Sana-chan,

Page 5

パパのお願いもちろん聞けるよね？
Naoki: of course you’ll obey your Daddy, right?

みし...
SFX: Scrunch...

...水城もうそのくらいで...
Sugino: Mizuki, that’s enough out of you...

す...
Sana: I...

すみません杉野さん
Sana: I’m sorry, Sugino-san.

杉野さんにまで迷惑かけてしまって...
Sana: I didn’t mean to get you dragged into this too...

み...水城いくらなんでもさなちゃん一人でケースはムチャ...
Sugino(handwritten): M-Mizuki, there’s no way Sana-chan could carry three cases by himself!

じゃあお前も行け！！
Naoki(handwritten): Then go help!!

はふ。
Sana(handwritten): Ugh.

はは
Sugino(side): Ha ha

気にしなくていいって
Sugino: Don’t worry about it.

それに水城とはもう17年も付き合ってるからね　このくらいは...
Sugino: I’ve been hanging out with him for 17 years now. This is nothing...

...あれ？
Sugino: Huh...?

きょろ。
SFX: Looking around.

誰だろ
Sugino: Who’s that?

まさかファンのコじゃないよな
Sugino: I hope it isn’t another fan.

こそ。
SFX: Whisper.

さなちゃんちょっと待ってて
Sugino: Sana-chan, you wait here.

あ
Sana: Oh.

はい...
Sana: Okay...

Page 6

えーっと...
Komatsu: Let’s see...

ここ♥
Map: Here.

酒
Map: Bar

大通り
Map: Avenue

この住所だと多分この辺...
Komatsu: It should be around here going by the address...

きょろ。
SFX: Looks around.

お
Komatsu(side): Ah-ha!

ここだここだ
Komatsu: This is it!

すみません
Sugino: Excuse me.

うちに何かご用ですか？
Sugino: Do you have some business at my residence?

あ　すみません
Komatsu: Oh, hello.

私　藤崎砂名くんの学校の副担任で小松と申します
Komatsu: I’m Komatsu, a back-up homeroom teacher from Fujisaki Sana-kun’s school.

ちょっと砂名くんに届けものを
Komatsu: I have something I need to give to Sana-kun.

って
Sugino(side): Hey!

あれ？　もしかして...小松さん？
Sugino: Wait! Aren’t you...Komatsu-san?

は？
Komatsu: Huh?

Page 7

あ　ほら俺覚えてない？
Sugino: C’mon, don’t you remember me?

中学ん時の
Sugino: Think back to middle school.

そっか同じクラスにはなった事なかったもんな
Sugino: Oh well. It’s not like we were in the same class.

藤崎くん。
Sign: Fujisaki-kun.

―――あ...
Komatsu: Ummm...

あーっ
Komatsu: Oh!

いたいた！！私ビジョンのスミの方に！！
Komatsu: I remember! You were on the corner of my field of vision!!

たしかえー...と
Komatsu: Aren’t you...um...

杉くん！！
Komatsu: Sugi-kun!!

うわー懐かしい！！今何してんの
Komatsu: Wow! It’s been forever! What have you been up to?

プ―――？
Komatsu: Beeeep?

い...一応
Sugino: A-Actually,

業界関係かな
Sugino: I work for the industry.

あははは
Komatsu(handwritten): Aha ha ha!

業界って芸能界のこと？！まーたまた冗談ばっかー！！
Komatsu: You mean the entertainment industry? You’re such a tease!!

...いや
Sugino: Not really...

ははは...
Sugino(handwritten): Ha ha ha...

で　杉くんこそこんな所で何してんの？
Komatsu: So what are you doing out here?

そういえばさっきうちとか言ってなかった？
Komatsu: Didn’t you say that you live here?

ぎくり。
SFX: Busted.

い...いや...まぁ近所に住んでて
Sugino: W-Well, I um...live in this neighborhood.

そ...それより俺杉じゃなくて杉野　杉野ね！！
Sugino: A-Also, I’m Sugino, not “Sugi.” Got it?!

覚えてね
Sugino(side): Get it straight.

杉野...？
Komatsu: You’re Sugino...?

Page 8

ええっ！？マジ！？
Komatsu: What?! Seriously?!

皆そう呼んでたからてっきりそうだとばっか思ってた！！
Komatsu: That’s what everyone called you, so I thought it was your real name!

なんだ杉野くんだったのかーごめんね
Komatsu: Geez, so you’re really Sugino-kun? Sorry about that.

ひーやべー
Komatsu(side): God, I’m horrible!

...あ...
Komatsu: Oh...

藤崎くんげんき？
Komatsu: How’s Fujisaki-kun?

ボソ。
SFX: Mumble.

え？
Sugino: Pardon?

あはは
Komatsu(side): Aha ha

な...なんでもない
Komatsu: I-It’s nothing!

別にイミはないんだけど杉野くん　藤崎くんて人と仲良かったような気がしてさ
Komatsu: I didn’t mean anything by it. I just thought you and Fujisaki-kun were good friends, so...

あ　も...もうこんな時間じゃん　じゃ私　帰るね！！
Komatsu: Oh, l-look at the time! I’ve gotta get going!!

まっ
Komatsu(side): La-

またね！！杉野くん
Komatsu: Later, Sugino-kun!!

あ
Sugino: Um...

小松さん
Sugino: Komatsu-san.

Page 9

藤崎
Sugino: Fujisaki’s...

元気だよ
Sugino: ...doing just fine.

カション。
SFX: Clang.

―――杉野さん小松先生と知り合いだったんですか
Sana: So you know Komatsu-sensei?

うん中学の同級生でね
Sugino: Yep. We went to the same middle school.

同じクラスじゃなかったけどね
Sugino: But we weren’t in the same class.

じゃあ先生　父さんのことも...
Sana: Then she knows about Dad too...

ん―――
Sugino: Hmm....

まぁ　あいつ目立ってたからなー
Sugino: Yeah, he did stand out big time.

あの顔だから当然っちゃ当然なんだけどね
Sugino: Guess it’s only natural considering that face of his.

え？
Sugino: Hm?

もしかして水城のことで彼女に何か言われたとか
Sugino: Did she say something to you about Mizuki by any chance?

い...いえ別に...
Sana: N-No, not really...

Page 10

あ...でも杉野さんて皆からも杉って呼ばれてたんですね
Sana: I guess everyone used to call you Sugi back in the day, huh?

そんな風に呼ぶの父さんだけかと思ってたから何だか不思議な感じがしちゃって
Sana: I thought Dad was the only one who called you that, so I was kinda surprised.

直樹だけだよ
Sugino: Only Naoki did.

アレ？
Sana(handwritten): Huh?

でも　そっか　小松さん　さなちゃんの学校の先生になってたのかー
Sugino: But whatever. I see Komatsu-san became a teacher at your school.

まぁサバサバして気さくなタイプではあるから教師に向いてるのかもね
Sugino: Well, she was always friendly and open-minded, so I guess she’d make a good teacher.

は...はい
Sana: Y-Yeah...

それはもう元気な...
Sana: She’s so enthusiastic...

うおおーーー
Komatsu(handwritten): Whooooooa!

文化祭。
sign: School festival.

藤崎くんかわいすぎるぞちくしょ
Komatsu(handwritten): Damn, Fujisaki-kun’s too cute!

まぁ頼りになるお姉さんって感じで
Sugino: She’s kinda like a reliable older sister.

さなちゃんのお母さんに少し似てるかもしれないね
Sugino: She even reminds me a little of your mother.

あらま
Naoki: Lookie here.

ずいぶんとお早いお帰りで
Naoki: You’re back sooo soon.

Page 11

って
Naoki(side): Like hell!

いつまで待たせやがんだコレ！！
Naoki: How long do you think you’ve kept me waiting?!!

お前らビール捜し求めて海渡ってたのかよ
Naoki: Did you cross oceans in search for beer?!

ああ！？
Naoki: HUH?!

お
Sugino(side): Jerk!

おまえ...っケースだぞケース！！いっぺん持ってみろ！！
Sugino: You jerk! We had to get freakin’ cases! You try carryin’ one sometime!!

重てぇんだよ！！
Sugino(handwritten): They’re damn heavy!!

はふ。
SFX: Ugh.

大体お前はいつもいつも
Sugino(handwritten): Besides, you’re always, and I mean always--

ああ！？
Naoki: WHAT?!

あれ？
Sana: Oh yeah.

そいえば　先生何しに来たんだろ
Sana: I wonder what my teacher was doing out here.

ジャ―――。
SFX: Sizzle.

今　外で小松さんに会ったぞ
Sugino: We just ran into Komatsu-san outside.

誰だよそれ
Naoki: Who’s that?

あーやっぱなー
Sugino(handwritten): Figures...

ほら　俺らが中学ん時の...
Sugino: You know, back from middle school?

たしか隣のクラスだったと思うけど
Sugino: I’m pretty sure she was in the class next to ours.

彼女　今さなちゃんの学校の先生になってんだってさ
Sugino: She’s working as a teacher out at Sana-chan’s school now.

さなちゃんに用があって来てたみたいだったけど
Sugino: She came to see Sana-chan for some reason or other.

ふうん
Naoki: Hmm.

Page 12

とにかくお前が「麻生水城」だとバレねぇようにしないと
Sugino: Anyway, we need to be careful she doesn’t figure out you’re “Asou Mizuki.”
これがバレると「麻生水城」のアイドル生命に関わると同時に
Sugino: The second that gets out, your life as the star “Asou Mizuki” will be over.

...人間としてかなり恥ずかしいからな...
Sugino: Plus it’d just plain be horrendously embarrassing.

衝撃！！30オヤジが
News: Shocking news! A 30-yeard old man...

エヘ
Naoki(handwritten): Teehee

ピチピチの16歳になります！？
News: ...turns into a young 16-year old boy!

ふ...
Sugino(handwritten): Heh....

お前セーラーまで着たもんな...
Sugino(handwritten): You’ve even worn a sailor uniform...

悪かったな！！
Naoki: Well excuse me!!

なるべくならさなちゃんとお前の関係も知られない方がいいけど
Sugino: Really, it’d be best is she never found out about your relationship with Sana-chan.

ま　これは時間の問題だろうな
Sugino: But I guess that’ll come out eventually.

充分に気をつけとけよ
Sugino: Just try to be extra careful.

あ？んなこた砂名に言えよ
Naoki: Yeah? Go tell that to Sana.

...お前ホントに彼女知らない？
Sugino: Are you sure you don’t know her?

はあ！？
Naoki: Geez!

知らねぇよ
Naoki: Of course I don’t!
あっそ
Sugino: Whatever.

まーヒドイ男だコト
Sugino(handwritten): You’re such a cruel guy.

Page 13

でもな
Sugino: But ya know,

彼女は学生ん頃お前のことずっと見てたぞ
Sugino: she was always watching you back when we were students.

お前が呼んだ俺の名前を覚えるほどな
Sugino: She even remembered your nick-name for me.

つーかあの学校で俺のこと見てなかった女いねぇじゃん
Naoki: Yeah, but there wasn’t a single woman who didn’t drool over me at that school.

ついでに野郎もね
Naoki(side): Some guys did too.

どーん。
SFX: Da-doon.

そ...そうでした...
Sugino(handwritten): T-True enough...

「藤崎くんの　お父さんて歳いくつくらいなの？」
Komatsu: “How old is your father, Fujisaki-kun?”

「藤崎くんの親戚に
Komatsu: “Do you have any relatives

直樹っていう20代後半の人いない？」
Komatsu: in their late 20’s named Naoki?”

あ...
Sana: Ah...

...そっか
Komatsu: I see...

藤崎くん元気なのか
Komatsu: So Fujisaki-kun’s doing well...

砂名くん
Komatsu: Sana-kun!

...え...？
Sana: Yeah?

よかった
Komatsu: Perfect timing.

ちょうど呼びに行こうとおもってたんだ
Komatsu: I was just about to have someone go get you.

今ちょっといい？
Komatsu: Do you have a minute?

Page 15

先生の呼び方が「藤崎くん」から「砂名くん」に変わっているのに気付いた
Sana: I noticed that she stopped calling me “Fujisaki-kun” and started calling me “Sana-kun.”

は...
Sana: S-

はい
Sana: Sure...

藤崎直
Paper: Fujisaki Naoki

えっとここなんだけど
Komatsu: It’s about this right here.

いいにくい事だったらごめんね
Komatsu: Sorry if it’s something you don’t like to talk about, but...

お母さんの所が何も書かれてないんだけど
Komatsu: ...it doesn’t say anything about your mother.

お母さんは...えっとー
Komatsu: So...um...is your mother...?

あ...
Sana: Uh...

今...入院してて
Sana: She’s...in the hospital...

...あ
Komatsu: Oh...

ごめんね変なこと聞いて
Komatsu: Sorry I brought up something uncomfortable.

そーだ！！じゃあ今度先生がゴハン作りに行ったげようか？
Komatsu(handwritten): I know! How about I can make dinner at your place to make up to you?

びく。
SFX: Twitch.

だ大丈夫です！！
Sana(handwritten): Th-That’s okay!!

でもね文化祭が終わって砂名くん前より少し明るくなったって皆言ってるよ
Komatsu: Everyone’s talking about how much more cheerful you’ve been since the festival.

なんか私も安心したっていうかすっごく嬉しくてね
Komatsu: I’m not so worried about you anymore. I’m really happy for you.

Page 16

だってステージに立って歌ったんだもんねー！！
Komatsu: I can’t believe you stood on stage and sang!!

歌はともかく
Komatsu(side): Quality aside.

やっぱすっごいよ！！
Komatsu: It’s still amazing!!

そ。
SFX: Fluff.

それに髪型が変わるだけで本物の麻生水城――
Komatsu: All you had to do was change your hairstyle to look just like Asou Mizuki.

びく。
SFX: Jumps.

ガタ。
SFX: Rattle.

す...
Sana: S-

すみません...
Sana: Sorry...

―――なんだか
Sana: It felt...

へんな感じがする...
Sana: ...kind of strange...

ええ？
Shiho: Eeh?!

「Mazes」ですか！？
Shiho: You sang Mazes?!

すごいです！！砂名さん
Shiho: That’s amazing, Sana-san!

あの曲すごく難しいのに
Shiho: That song’s really hard.

ハ...ハイ
Sana(handwritten): I know...

Page 17

で...
Sana(side): But...

でも良かったですやっと泉さんにつながって...
Sana: But I’m glad I finally got a hold of you...

え...ごっごめんなさい収録がたてこんじゃってて！！
Shiho: Huh? S-Sorry, I’ve been really busy with recordings!!

ひゃー
Shiho(side): Yikes!

でも良かった...
Shiho: But it’s really great...

...え...
Sana: Huh...?

砂名さん歌えないって言ってたから
Shiho: I was worried about you since you said...

心配だったんです
Shiho: ...you couldn’t sing.

い...いえ
Sana: S-Sorry...

泉さんのおかげです
Sana: I did it thanks to you.

本当にありがとうございました
Sana: Thank you so much.

そんな私は何も
Shiho: But I didn’t do anything.

だって決めたのは砂名さんですもの
Shiho: After all, you’re the one who decided to go through with it.

えっと
Shiho(side): I guess...

こんな時ってやっぱりおめでとうございます...
Shiho: I should probably be congratulating you...

なのかな
Shiho(side): Maybe?

ちがうかな
Shiho(side): Maybe not?
...ありがとうございます
Sana: Thank you so much.

文化祭...泉さんにも見に来てもらいたかったです
Sana: I wish you could have come to the festival and seen me.

Page 18

え...
Shiho: What...?

とても聞かせられた歌じゃなかったですけど
Sana: It really wasn’t good enough for you to come listen to, but still.

そ...
Shiho: Oh...

そうですね次はお休みもらって絶対行きますね
Shiho: Yeah. I promise I’ll take some time off and go next time!

楽しみです
Shiho: I’ll be looking forward to it.

あ...泉さん...
Sana: Um, Izumi-san...

は　はい
Shiho: Y-Yes?

...泉さんと話してると元気になれます...
Sana: It always makes me feel better whenever I talk to you.

ありがとうございます
Sana: Thanks again.

あーあきっつー
Girl1: God, this sucks!

誰かさんがこないだ遅れて入ってくれたおかげでこっちまでいいメーワクだっつーの
Girl1: A certain someone was late the other day and seriously put all of us out.

はー
SFX: Sighs.


たいして売れてもないくせに麻生と付き合ってるって噂だけでスタッフもぺこぺこしなきゃいけないしねー
Girl2: She isn’t even selling all that well. But the staff’s bending backwards for her ’cause of some rumors that she’s dating Asou.

あーあやってらんねーよ
Girl2(side): I can’t stand the bitch.

Page 19

大体あんなブス麻生がマジなワケないじゃにょねー
Girl1: There’s no way Asou’s serious about a homely brat like her anyway.

いい気になるなっつーの
Girl1: And now she’s on her high horse!

ったくカンチガイ女が痛えんだよ
Girl1(side): I can’t stand girls who get the wrong idea!

ガ...ガマンしなきゃ！！
Shiho(handwritten): H-Hold it in!!

ぐ。
SFX: Squinch.

え...
Shiho: Huh...?

...使えば？
Boy: Use it.

Page 20

あ...
Shiho: Oh...

ありがとうございます
Shiho: Thank you.

...別に...
Boy: It’s nothing....

俺もう覚えてるから
Boy: I’ve already memorized my lines.

ほら水城早くしろよ
Sugino: C’mon, Mizuki! Hurry up!

今日の撮影はお前を花ん中に沈めなくちゃいけねぇから時間かかるっつってただろが
Sugino: I warned you it’s gonna take a while since they have to bury you in flowers for the shot!

...つぇぇなー
Naoki: Shut up!

じゃあてめぇが代わりに沈め
Naoki: Why don’t you go do it for me?!

できるか！！
Sugino: Like I could!!

とにかく20日の北海道入りまでに間に合わせなきゃなんねんだよ！
Sugino: We have to get this done in time for your shoot up in Hokkaido on the 20th!!

ほらもう出るぞ
Sugino: C’mon! We’re going now!

え...
Sana: Wait...

Page 21

と...父さん
Sana: D-Dad!

ちょ...ちょっと待ってよ
Sana: J-Just a sec.

20日って...
Sana: The 20th is...

20日って何の日だか知ってるの！？
Sana: Don’t you know what day the 20th is?!

知るか
Naoki: Like I know.

し...
Komatsu: Shi-...

しまった
Komatsu: Shit.

砂名くんに返すの忘れてた...
Komatsu: I forgot to give this back to Sana-kun.

ガーン。
SFX: Shoulders drop.

ピラ。
SFX: Flip.

Page 22

あらら　やっぱ友だちアドレスはなしかー
Komatsu(handwritten): Oh, my. He doesn’t have any friends’ addresses in here...

父さんの事務所
Note: Dad’s Office

...事務所―？
Komatsu: His office?

って建築業とか？弁護士とか探偵とか...
Komatsu: Is he an architect? Or a lawyer or a detective...?

あとは...
Komatsu: Or perhaps...

い...一応業界関係かな
Sugino: A-Actually, I work for the industry.

はははまさかねー
Komatsu: Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, right...

ぱふ。
SFX: Flap.

ピ。
SFX: Dial.
