A3 - Event Story - Nomadic Bartender (1/11)
Customer A: A gimlet, please.
Guy: Coming right up.
Customer B: The way you make drinks is rather beautiful.
Customer A: Yes, I agree. Every movement is so smooth.
Customer B: When you mix a cocktail, it looks like you're casting a magic spell.
Customer A: It's a real joy to watch.
Guy: Thank you very much. Here is your order.
Syu: ...
Guy: Welcome.
Syu: I think I'll have a Gibson today.
Guy: All right.
Syu: The winter troupe's next show is coming up, isn't it?
Guy: Yes. Preparations are beginning soon. Please come see our performance if you can.
Syu: As I recall, the spring, summer, and autumn troupe rookies each got to play the leads again in their most recent performances. Which means you're next.
Syu: I'll definitely come see the bartender who always makes such delicious drinks take center stage.
Guy: ... I look forward to it.
Syu: You know, even though this bar has a lot of customers, it still manages to have a calm atmosphere.
Syu: I'm thinking about stopping by with an old acquaintance of mine next time. He used to be my father's assistant.
Syu: He left the troupe after my father died and we fell out of touch, but we happened to reconnect recently.
Guy: I see. Then, please feel free to come here together any time.

Tsuzuru: Okay, we know that Guy will be the lead in our next play. Now we need the theme...
Tsuzuru: Is there anything in particular you want to do, Guy?
Homare: I'm sure he has something in mind. After all, Guy has become a wonderful theater junkie since our fourth performance.
Guy: I have been thinking about it for a while, since I knew I would be the lead for this play ahead of time.
Guy: If possible, I'd like the play to be about a bartender.
Izumi: A bartender?
Guy: I opened Journey because, like Citronia, I wanted to share Zafra's culture with everyone. But now I also feel like it's an important part of who I am.
Guy: It's something I would like to bring to the stage, as well.
Tsumugi: A bar setting suits the winter troupe's mature atmosphere.
Tasuku: I can easily picture Guy in a role like that as he is now.
Izumi: Since our last winter troupe play also focused on a specific job, we should be clear about what sets this one apart.
Tsuzuru: What if we add another element to it?
Izumi: Like bartending plus a food stand? Wait, that sounds like a manga or something...
Tasuku: What about bartending and battles?
Hisoka: Recently, there was a customer who said that Guy's cocktails were like magic.
Tsuzuru: Bartending and magic... a magical bartender sounds pretty interesting, doesn't it?
Homare: Indeed. The winter troupe doesn't usually dabble in fantasy.
Azuma: I think Guy has a mysterious, almost mystical air about him that suits a magician or wizard.
Tasuku: Sounds good to me.
Tsumugi: I agree. It's definitely a different approach than Blanc the Florist.
Tsuzuru: Great. Let's move forward with this, then.
Izumi: We're counting on you!
Guy: I'm looking forward to the script.
Izumi: It's been a while since Guy has played the lead role. He seems pretty excited! I wonder what kind of performance this will be?

Guy: ...
Azuma: I haven't seen that charm in a while.
Guy: I wanted to let my father know that I'll be playing the lead role in our next performance.
Azuma: I see...
Guy: It may be impossible right now, but I hope I can tell him directly some day.
Azuma: I'm sure your feelings are reaching him.
Guy: ... You're right.
