Sakuya Sakuma | [SR] Festival of Blooming | Sakuya as Citron

Sakuya: …

Tsuzuru: (Sakuya’s watching that TV show so intensely. Wonder what it’s about.)

Tsuzuru: …Eeh!?

Sakuya: Ah, Tsuzuru-kun. What wrong?

Tsuzuru: “What’s wrong” is what I should be asking you… I figured you were watching something serious with how intently you were staring at the TV, but you’re here watching manzai performances…

Sakuya: Oh! This is a special program I recorded the other day. Do you wanna watch it with me?

Tsuzuru: No, I’m good. But the bigger question is why are YOU watching it?

Sakuya: Actually, I’m using this to role study for when I act as Citron-san.

Sakuya: So… For my performance as Citron-san, I figured I’d try out some of the many things he likes to do. And manzai was one of those things.

Tsuzuru: Many things? You’re trying out more than one?

Sakuya: Yeah! I also learned how to do a strange dance from Hisoka-san that he and Citron-san do together, and I played mahjong with the mahjong club members…

Tsuzuru: You did all that too!? So diligent…

Tsuzuru: That said, that is the Sakuya thing to do.

Sakuya: But even with all that, there’s still a side of Citron-san that’s hard to grasp.

Tsuzuru: Like what?

Sakuya: It’s just Citron-san’s natural personality. That’s why it’s difficult to play him…

Tsuzuru: Ah… That’s true. Citron-san’s originally from a royal family, the way he grew up is completely different from the way we did.

Tsuzuru: Although, the whole purpose of this project is to just “strengthen our understandings of each other”, so you shouldn’t be too worried about it.

Sakuya: But… I still want to do this as best I can, and if I’m going to act as Citron-san, I can’t leave that part out…!

Tsuzuru: There’s that strange Sakuya-like stubbornness… Well, I guess that’s still a pretty important thing regardless.

Tsuzuru: Ah, I’ve got it. How about you ask someone who knows Citron-san well as part of a royal family?

Sakuya: Someone who knows him well…

Tsuzuru: C’mon, you know one person who was watching him the closest.

Sakuya: …! Right, I’ll go ask!

Sakuya: …So, that’s why I want to know more about Citron-san when he was a prince in Zahra.

Guy: Understood, I’ll do my best to help.

Sakuya: Thank you so much!

Guy: If I remember correctly… Citronia used to study Japan a lot.

Guy: I believe he was always very lively when he was researching various things about Japanese culture in secret.

Guy: I used to often see him learning about other countries and wondering what they were like.

Sakuya: I see…

Guy: Citronia was beloved by many of the citizens of Zahra.

Guy: But now… He is loved as “Citron of MANKAI Company”.

Sakuya: …!

Guy: I liked his demeanor as the would-be-king, but now Citronia is an actor. He can be anything he would like and go anywhere he would like.

Guy: I’ve watched Citronia as royalty for a long time, but I’m sure that you know the Citronia living as an actor better than anyone, Sakuma.

Sakuya: Citron-san as an actor…

Guy: You should not play him based on what you have heard from others, but from what you have seen of him yourself, Sakuma.

Sakuya: …Got it, I’ll do that! Thank you so much!

*Door closes*

Guy: This is what you would want, correct? …Citronia.

Citron: The time has finally come…!

Citron: Hmmhnmh… How will Sakuya play me… I can’t wait to see the spectacle!

Sakuya: Now I’m a little nervous with your expectations being so high…!

Citron: Don’t worry. Relax, Sakuya! Just act the way you’d like to act, like you always do~.

Citron: I won’t get mad no matter what!

Sakuya: Citron-san…

Citron: …Probably.

Sakuya: Eeh!?

Citron: Fufu, just kidding!

Sakuya: Y-You scared me…!

Citron: Now for you to put on my clothes. You can borrow these!

Sakuya: Thank you so much!

Sakuya: They should be something like this…

Citron: Oh, they were too big for you, Sakuya? Even though you’re an adult, you look like a child!

Sakuya: Ahaha… I wish I were as tall as you, Citron-san.

Citron: No, no, you are the best like this!

Sakuya: Wah! Ahaha, you’re squishing me when you hug me like that, Citron-san!

Citron: It’s like I gain a new little brother when you dress like that~.

Sakuya: Alright, I guess it’s time for me to start! And…

Sakuya: “How are you doing today, Madam!”

Sakuya: “Oh, may I have this many extra today? Thank you as always~!”

Citron: (This must be an exchange with the madams in the shopping district. Sakuya really does pay attention.)

Sakuya: “Are you lost? Follow me!”

Citron: (A scene of me helping a lost child… He’s playing all of my good moments.)

Sakuya: “Let me do a street act now. This is my partner, Tsuzuru! …It doesn’t matter if it’s manzai, as long as the audience has fun~!”

Citron: (Sakuya even did research on Citorun manzai acts… He must have studied a lot to play me.)

Sakuya: “...That is all! Yes, thank you very much~!”

Sakuya: And, scene!

Sakuya: U-Um… How was that?

Citron: …How do you think you did, Sakuya?

Sakuya: Well… I put a lot of thought into playing you, and…

Sakuya: The Citron-san I know is kind and never overlooks someone in need.

Sakuya: And he loves to make people laugh, in fact, he makes me laugh until my stomach hurts almost every time I talk to him.

Citron: Sakuya…

Sakuya: But at first, I had a hard time getting your royal-feel down.

Sakuya: But then Guy-san told me how you were adored by all the people of Zahra--.

Sakuya: So I realized the real Citron-san lies in your everyday behavior, not your royalty.

Citron: …You’re such a kind boy, Sakuya.

Sakuya: Eh?

Citron: Alright, finally we have to take the picture! Then it is mission complete!

Sakuya: Hey, Citron-san. Could I possibly borrow Citron Junior for this?

Citron: Yes, of horse! Here you go~.

Sakuya: Thank you so much!

Citron: Okay. 3, 2, 1… Say cheese!

Citron: You have a wonderful smile.

Sakuya: Because I’m imitating you, Citron-san!

Citron: By the way, Sakuya. Why did you decide to take the picture with Citron Junior?

Sakuya: Umm, well… Because you have gone on many travels, and you and Citron Junior have gone to so many places together.

Sakuya: When I thought of that, it felt like it was something that the actor Citron-san would do, not the royal Citron-san… Maybe.

Citron: The actor me…

Sakuya: So since this Citron Junior goes to so many places, he’s like a symbol of how much free you are now…

Sakuya: So that’s why I wanted to take a picture with this little guy!

Citron: …!

Sakuya: So now you can go anywhere, Citron-san. Not just Zahra.

Sakuya: And I believe that you can bring smiles to people beyond MANKAI and to all over Japan… No, all over the world.

Sakuya: And through my acting, I was able to see just how much of a loving person the Citron-san I know is!

Citron: …

Sakuya: Wahwah! It kinda hurts when you hug me that tightly…!

Citron: …I’m glad. I really am glad.

Citron: I promise I will continue to make everyone smile like I always have.

Sakuya: Citron-san…

Citron: But you have to do it with me! Okay, Sakuya?

Sakuya: Yeah!
