Sakyo Furuichi - Onto the Morning Glories, Again and Again R - Backstage: Morning Glory Observation
| Part 1 | |
| Scene: Ginsenkai house | |
| Sakoda | Over here, Aniki! |
| Senior Yakuza | Sorry for puttin' this on you when you're already busy. |
| Sakyo | It's not a problem at all... Hm? Ichika came with you, too? |
| Ichika | ... Yeah. |
| Senior Yakuza | So, I told the boss already, but my dad had an accident, y'see. |
| Sakyo | An accident...? |
| Senior Yakuza | Yeah, far as I know, he can't move around much. Because of that, I really have to go stay at his place for a while. |
| Senior Yakuza | So, I wanted you to take over some things while I'm gone. |
| Sakyo | How long do you plan to be away for? |
| Senior Yakuza | As of right now, a week or two. |
| Sakoda | Is Ichika going with you, too? |
| Senior Yakuza | Yeah. She's about to start summer break anyway, so I thought I'd take her with me. |
| Ichika | Uncle Sakyo, I wanted to ask you for something while I'm gone, too. |
| Sakyo | What is it? |
| Scene: Ginsenkai house, veranda | |
| Ichika | ... This. |
| Sakyo | Morning glories? |
| Sakyo | (The flowers don't really look to be in great shape, though...) |
| Ichika | While we're on summer break, we're supposed to watch them and keep a record of them, but I can't take mine to Grandpa's house, so... |
| Sakyo | So you want me to take care of them until you're back? |
| Ichika | Yeah. Please water them every day. |
| Sakyo | I will. |
| Ichika | Yay, thanks! |
| Sakyo | BUT, I don't know all the details about taking care of plants. If it wilts, I better not hear any complaints. |
| Ichika | It's okay. I know you'll take good care of it, Uncle Sakyo. |
| Sakyo | ... You're overestimating me. |
| Senior Yakuza | Sorry again for asking you for something so tedious. |
| Sakyo | Not at all. |
| Senior Yakuza | It seems like those morning glories weren't doing so well even when they were growing in her school. |
| Senior Yakuza | I know you're busy, too, so it's fine to just take care of ‘em enough that they don't die. |
| Sakyo | Understood. |
| Sakyo | (Though, if it's going to need watering every day, I can't just leave it here, either.) |
| Sakyo | (If I'm taking it to the dorms, maybe I'll ask Tsukioka why the flowers aren't doing well.) |
| Scene: Mankai courtyard | |
| Sakyo | ... For now, I think I'll put it here. |
| Tsumugi | Oh, Sakyo. What are you doing with those morning glories? |
| Sakyo | I'm holding onto them for a senior's daughter. |
| Sakyo | They had to go to his parents' home all of a sudden, so she asked me to take care of them while they're away. |
| Tsumugi | Oh, I see. |
| Sakyo | As you can see, though, they don't look so great. You have any idea why that might be? |
| Tsumugi | Hmm, if I had to think of something, I'd say maybe it didn't get enough fertilizer, or maybe too much sun... |
| Tsumugi | Also, the soil is dry, so it's possible it wasn't getting enough water, too. |
| Sakyo | I see. I'll keep those things in mind. |
| Tsumugi | If you're okay with it, should I take care of the morning glories while I'm caring for the flowerbeds, too? |
| Sakyo | ... No, it's okay. I'm the one they asked to do it. I want to try doing it myself first. |
| Sakyo | If the flowers stay like this or get worse, though, please do give me advice again. |
| Tsumugi | Got it. If anything comes up, you can ask me about it anytime. |
| Sakyo | Will do. Thanks. |
| Sakyo | (If getting too much sun is no good, either, I should try to put it somewhere that doesn't get too much sunlight.) |
| Sakyo | (Also, I should keep a record of the plant's state so Ichika doesn't have any trouble when she's back.) |
| Sakyo | (Let me go back to my room and get a notebook.) |
| Fade to black | |
| Sakyo | The soil is... dry. The first thing I'll do is water it. |
| Sakyo | (Let me log the date and time I'm watering it, too.) |
| Part 2 | |
| Scene: Room 106 | |
| Azami | (I can still use this lipstick. ... This one's almost out, though.) |
| Phone buzzes | |
| Azami | Hm? Ken's calling...? |
| Phone beeps | |
| Azami | Hey. |
| Sakoda | "Oh, there you are! Azami, is now good?" |
| Azami | Now's okay, but... what's up? |
| Sakoda | "I had a li'l favor to ask..." |
| Azami | A favor...? |
| Scene: Mankai courtyard | |
| Sakyo | (I should water this before I head out for work.) |
| Camera shutter sound | |
| Sakyo | (... Hm? Was that the sound of a shutter?) |
| Sakyo | There's no one around... |
| Sakyo | (... I must have imagined it. Let me write down the specifics of the watering just now.) |
| Sakyo | (That reminds me, Tsukioka also said he thought a lack of fertilizer might be at fault here.) |
| Sakyo | (Maybe I'll try heading to the garden centre when I have free time at work.) |
| Fade to black, scene: Mankai courtyard, nighttime | |
| Sakyo | (... It really got late before I could get back.) |
| Sakyo | (The morning glories' soil is... still a bit damp. I can probably go without watering it tonight.) |
| Sakyo | (Instead, let me add some of the fertilizer I bought today to the pot.) |
| Sakyo | ... Is this how you do it? |
| Camera shutter sound | |
| Sakyo | That shutter sound again? ... But there's no one here. |
| Sakyo | (Oh, well, must be Miyoshi or someone taking pictures somewhere. Let me record the date and time that I added this fertilizer.) |
| Scene: Mankai courtyard, daytime | |
| Sakyo | (Water the plant, record the date and time...) |
| Camera shutter sound | |
| Sakyo | ... Hm? It's that shutter sound again. |
| Tsumugi | Sounds like someone's taking pictures, doesn't it? |
| Sakyo | It's probably the Summer Troupe again. |
| Tsumugi | Hehe, it could be. Anyway, the morning glories look so much brighter now. |
| Sakyo | Now that you mention it, the petals do have more color than when I first brought them here. |
| Sakyo | (The stems seem sturdier, too, so it looks like it's blooming more elegantly than before.) |
| Sakyo | Must be because of the fertilizer. |
| Tsumugi | I don't think that's all there is to it. |
| Tsumugi | You've been watering it diligently every single day... |
| Tsumugi | And you've been making sure it doesn't dry up, gets just the right amount of sunlight, and been extremely careful about every last detail when taking care of it. |
| Tsumugi | I think that's why the flowers have perked up so much. |
| Sakyo | ... All I'm doing is what was asked of me. |
| Phone buzzes | |
| Sakyo | ... Hm? A call? |
| Sakyo | Yes? |
| Senior Yakuza | "Furuichi, sorry for calling you so early in the morning." |
| Sakyo | No need to apologize. Did something happen? |
| Senior Yakuza | "We'll be coming back the day after tomorrow, so could you bring the morning glories we left with you over?" |
| Sakyo | I will. |
| Sakyo | (Has it been two weeks already? I'd better return these to Ichika.) |
| Scene: Mankai courtyard, nighttime | |
| Sakyo | ... |
| Sakyo | (These morning glories started out looking so poorly...) |
| Sakyo | You've grown so elegant... |
| Camera shutter sound, fade to black, scene: Ginsenkai house | |
| Sakoda | Aniki took care o' the morning glories like this every single day! |
| Ichika | Whoa...! Look at Uncle Sakyo watering them! |
| Senior Yakuza | Huh. So he was bein' that careful takin' care of ‘em. |
| Sakoda | Here's him adding fertilizer to it! And here he's recordin' everything in a notebook! |
| Sakyo | ... |
| Sakyo | (Wait, were those shutter sounds...?) |
| Sakyo | ... Sakoda. Wanna tell me about those pictures? |
| Sakoda | A-aniki?! |
| Sakoda | S-s-sorry! Truth is, I asked Azami to send me pics of you taking care of the morning glories, so he did! |
| Sakyo | Jeez, so then that shutter sound I kept hearing was Bon. |
| Ichika | Ah, my morning glories! Huh? They look so healthy! |
| Ichika | So if I take care of them like in the pictures, they'll stay healthy like this? |
| Sakyo | Yeah. If you follow what I wrote in this notebook, you can take care of them properly. I also wrote down a few things to be careful with. |
| Ichika | Is it okay for me to have this? |
| Sakyo | I only put it together in the first place because I thought you'd need it for your observation journal. |
| Ichika | Thank you! |
| Sakyo | Take care of them properly until the end. |
| Ichika | I will! |
