Things they would like to do together from now on
M: Oh yeah, I had something I wanted to confirm with Ori.
O: What is it?
M: Why have you stopped sending me selfies recently? I’ve been waiting impatiently for them, you know? (laughs)
O: Hmmmm. (laughs) It’s been quite some time since I last sent any to you though.
M: Was it that long ago?
O: Yep.
M: Hrmmmm. (laughs) I wonder if something changed that caused you to stop sending them to me. Who do you send your selfies to these days? I’d like to question you closely about this.
O: Ah, it’s just that I haven’t been taking any selfies lately, that’s all.
M: Ah, you’ve reached that phase! Well then, when you start taking selfies again, please send them to me!
O: Eh? Why did I start sending them to you in the first place?
M: Only you know the truth behind that question, Ori.
O: Well, rather, our interactions came to a halt when the ball was in your court, Masakado-kun.
M: (checks phone) You’re right. 2 weeks ago Ori sent me an Anpanman stamp, and I replied “It’s cute that you used that”, but somehow my reply got deleted. And for some reason, I got sent really creepy stamps. (laughs) Ah, looking back, you started sending me your selfies last year.
O: Well, I felt like it, I suppose.
M: I’m at the mercy of your whims~ (laughs)
O: There was a time when we’d have incredibly long phone calls, wasn’t there.
M: There was! There were days when we’d talk on the phone from the morning all the way into the night. I don’t remember what we talked about, but I remember that Ori started eating curry when night fell. You must have been starving, I guess. (laughs)
O: We’ve also called each other while out on nighttime strolls.
M: It’s almost like we’re a couple. (laughs)
O: There was a month where we contacted each other every day, but now…well.
M: Don’t say that in the tone of voice you’d use to say “never again”! (laughs) Also, can I ask you a question?
O: What is it?
M: Which hairstyle of mine do you like?
O: Huh?! (laughs)
M: I’ve been torn about what hairstyle to get next, you see.
O: I liked the visuals from the poster for “Sen, Shoku” (2021). I also like the wavy permed look.
M: Eh… I wonder what I should do, then. I can’t decide what to do with my hair.
O: Ah, the way it is now suits you too.
M: Brown hair?
O: Yeah!
M: Would this current hairstyle be Ori’s Favourite Masakado?
O: Hmmmm, maybe if you grew it a little longer.
M: Ok! So about Yasshi’s length? (Yashiro Rintarou, Masakado’s character from “Yarougumi”)
O: But at that time, you’d parted your bangs…
M: Is it better with bangs?
O: It’s better when you leave the bangs down!
M: Alright, it’s decided!
O: (laughs) Ah, I’ve got a request for you.
M: Sure, what is it?
O: Masakado-kun, please stay in Osaka forever. (laughs)
M: Hn?!
O: Masakado-kun, if you came to stay in Tokyo, it seems like things would get really wild. (laughs)
M: So you’re saying it’s okay to charge me once in a while? (laughs)
O: Yeah. (laughs) I think humans can’t be too close to each other. So if Masakado-kun came to live in Tokyo in the future, I might end up moving to Osaka. (laughs)
M: What’s with that~! (laughs) Speaking of which, we’ve never gone anywhere just by ourselves, right?
O: We’ve met up with (Iwasaki) Taisho-kun to eat ramen, and we’ve gone for Chinese food with Reia-kun before.
M: Yeah, that’s right. If it was just the two of us, where would you want to go?
O: I don’t really have a particular place in mind. If I was to go somewhere with just one other person, I’d rather go with Reia-kun. (laughs)
M: I keep hearing Reia-kun’s name from you. (stares intently at Oriyama) Will Reia-kun appear in this cross-talk that the two of us are doing?
O: (looks like he’s about to spit out the tea he’s drinking)
M: Woah, you looked so cute! (laughs)
O: …Reia-kun’s better at pulling back; he’s got a good balance, you could say.
M: Is that so. I’m the type who’ll just keep pushing and pushing and pushing, so pulling back isn’t something I’m capable of!
O: I can’t deal with that kinda person, you know. Ah… well it’s not very nice to say that I “can’t deal”, though.
M: It truly is not that nice, you know. (laughs)
O: (laughs)
