Fairy Puck's Important Duty

 **Futaba:**...This is good! Yep, it's fine even when I pull on it.

 **Junna:**Oh? It's unusual for you to be sewing, Isurugi-san.

 **Futaba:**Oh, the costume for the next assignment was frayed, so I was fixing it.

 **Junna:**...Wow, it came out really well.

 **Futaba:**Hehe, this much is really simple.

 **Futaba:**It is something that's been on my mind... So I've been learning from Mahiru and Banana for a little while.

 **Futaba:**It's just like working on a motorcycle — once you get started it's actually pretty fun.

 **Junna:**...Been on your mind?

 **Futaba:**...Yeah. It's from when I was a freshman and we performed "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

 **Junna:**That brings back memories. Isurugi-san's version of Fairy Puck was full of energy and really fun.

 **Futaba:**Heh heh, thank you.

 **Futaba:**...I wasn't able to get any roles around that time.

 **Futaba:**Then the first big role I got was Fairy Puck.

 **Futaba:**That's why this is such a memorable role for me.

 **Junna:**Hehe... You looked the happiest I had ever seen you that day.

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"Puck, come here."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"You called, King Oberon?"

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"Yes, I have called you here because I have an important duty for you!"

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"An important duty! Wow! What kind of duty?!"

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"F-Firstly, calm down."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Oh... My apologies. I've never been assigned an important duty before, so I got overexcited..."

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"That's fine. The thing is, I had a fight with my wife, Titania."

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"So I want you to put this medicine on her eyelids while she slumbers."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"What is this...?"

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"It's a medicine imbued with Cupid's magic. When the person wakes up, they will fall in love with the first person they see."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Oh, I understand. You had a fight with your wife, Queen Titania, and you want to make up."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"You don't have to do all this — you could just apologize."

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"Silence! Just do as I say and put this medicine on her eyelids while she slumbers! Understood?"

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Leave it to me, King Oberon! This will be an easy task for me!"

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"Right. Make sure you're careful, though."

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"I'm sorry for having to say this, but..."

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"You're motivated, but you're also scatterbrained sometimes."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Leave it me to to get the job done. I won't disappoint!"

 **Junna:****(As King Oberon)**
"I sure hope you won't..."

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Leave it to Puck! I'll fix your relationship with Queen Titania!"

 **Futaba:**At that time, I felt just like Puck when he was given an important mission by Oberon, the Fairy King.

 **Futaba:**I was ecstatic that I was chosen for such a big role.

 **Junna:**That's true... Then again, I think that you were perfect for the role because you had the exact same feelings as him.

 **Futaba:**...Thanks. I'm really happy to hear this from you, King Oberon.

 **Futaba:**Although...I didn't want everything to be similar.

 **Futaba:**It would have been good if the failure and loss of motivation was only while in character.

 **Junna:**Failure... You mean what happened during the performance?

 **Futaba:**...I'm still sorry about that. I caused so much trouble that time.

Fairy Puck's Tact

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Oh no, I really did it now! I got the person mixed up and used the medicine on a human who got lost in the forest!"

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"On top of that, Queen Titania fell in love with this man-donkey that I created!"

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"What do I do? What do I do!? It's all a mess!"

 **Junna:**Isurugi-san really seems to be enjoy playing Fairy Puck.

 **Junna:**She was so happy when she was picked, so she might feel a special attachment to this role.

 **Junna:**Besides, it's the actual performance so she's putting more energy into her acting than usual.

 **Futaba:**(Puck panics and does a lap around the stage, eventually leaving...!)

 **Junna:**Ah, her pant leg is caught on a prop...!

***\*rip\****

 **Futaba:**(W-what should I do...?!)

 **Futaba:**(The audience hasn't noticed it yet but... For now, I can only make it so that they can't see the ripped part and return to backstage...!)

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"It's all a mess! What do I do?!"

 **Junna:**Isurugi-san, your pant leg...just now...

 **Futaba:**Yeah...

 **Futaba:**...What should we do about this?

 **Junna:**Quick, call someone from the costume team...

 **Junna:**We can't... Everyone is elsewhere getting ready for the next costume change.

 **Junna:**That's right...! What about Nana or Tsuyuzaki-san?!

 **Futaba:**No, that won't work either. Mahiru and Banana are up right after this.

 **Junna:**T-Then, what about you? Can you sew it yourself?

 **Futaba:**Sorry, I'm no good at that sort of sewing... What about you, Hoshimi?

 **Junna:**I might be able to do a little, but probably not before you have to go on...

 **Futaba:**I-I see...

 **Futaba:**Yeah, at the time, I felt completely numb.

 **Junna:**Yeah, I'm sorry I brought it up.

 **Junna:**Heh heh... But thanks to your quick-thinking, we somehow managed to get through it.

 **Futaba:**Nah, that was all thanks to you.

 **Junna:**What are we going to do? It's almost your turn.

 **Futaba:**Think... There has to be a way...

 **Junna:**But it's almost time... We have no other choice, the show must go on...!

 **Futaba:**...The show must go on?

 **Futaba:**...That's right, we just have to continue like this!

 **Junna:**What!?

 **Futaba:**Hoshimi, I have something that I want you to help me find quickly...

 **Junna:**I-I-Isurugi-san... Are you really just going to go out like this?

 **Futaba:**Yeah! I'll try to do something about it..!

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Wow, I really did it... I was too eager and caught my leg on a tree branch!"

 **Junna:**...!

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"But something like that won't discourage me!"

 **Junna:**Isurugi-san is being so bold...! But it matches Puck's klutzy character!

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"That said, it is difficult to move like this...That's it! I'll just do this!"

***\*riiip\****

 **Junna:**...Whaaat?! You tore off the other side that wasn't torn! W-What is your plan?

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Yeah! Now it's much easier to move! All I need to do now is tie up the pant leg with this ribbon and... There we go! Yeah, this works great!"

 **Junna:**Now I see, you tore off the other pant leg to balance out the length.

 **Junna:**I was surprised when you told me to find a ribbon all of a sudden but... So this is what that was about.

 **Junna:**...Amazing. It's hard to believe that you came up with this in such a short time.

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Okay, no time to dwell on it! I have an important mission to help King Oberon!"

 **Junna:**Honestly, I was really surprised by that improv.

 **Junna:**Careless but motivated — it was the perfect character development for Fairy Puck.

 **Futaba:**It's all thanks to you for saying that the show must go on. Thanks to that, I felt unrestricted.

 **Futaba:**And from that point on, I started to challenge many different things so that I'll be able to handle any future accidents that come my way.

 **Futaba:**For example, sewing and such!

 **Junna:**Right, that's why...

 **Futaba:**Yes, I can't always cause trouble.

 **Junna:**...Isurugi-san.

 **Junna:**Heh heh, you're so reliable. Just like Fairy Puck, you can overcome any kind of difficult situation now!

 **Futaba:****(As Fairy Puck)**
"Heh heh, exactly! Any trouble? Leave it to me — Fairy Puck!"

 **Futaba:**Fairy Puck is an important role to me, filled with special memories. That's why I want everyone to enjoy it!

 **Futaba:**Thinking about the accident during the performance of Fairy Puck still gives me the chills to this day.

 **Futaba:**And yet... It was thanks to that experience that I became relatively skilled at improvising, so all in all I'm glad it happened.

 **Futaba:**I am who I am today because of that role — that is something I cannot deny.
