[BSTS] Kasumi S6Ch5.5 Medley Reward 5* Card Story

(Note: MAD LOVE is based on Andromaque by Jean Racine and Akatsuki no Negai is based on Tenshu Monogatari by Kyouka Izumi)

Chapter 1

-break room-

hari: Oh, Saki-san. Look at Kasumi.

saki: What about him?

hari: He said that he won't raise his bangs at Starless, even though he wears his hair up whilst we're at the off-site venue.

zakuro: Everyone has their own personal reasons for doing things, but I would still like to see the guest’s reaction to your face.

hari: You should try putting your hair up whilst wearing your butler outfit. I’m sure it would suit you, Kasumi.

zakuro: I was shocked to hear about the butler service, even more so that it would still continue while we're performing off-site.

kasumi: It's something that only takes place for a month and the guests have been looking forward to it. I’ll be the best nondescript butler you’ve ever seen.

hari: I’ve heard that some of our audience members have misunderstood your part in our off-site performance as being a special guest. If you're going to show your face elsewhere isn't it fine to show it at Starless too?

kasumi: You may think so, Hari but I’ve gotten used to wearing this style here at Starless. Right, Saki-san? You like both versions of me don't you?

zakuro: My my, do you not think that the guests would like to see your face? Look, if I just lift your bangs like this–

-zakuro pushes kasumi’s bangs back-

kasumi: Uwah, w-what did you do that for~? 

zakuro: We wouldn't be able to call you a background character anymore, but don't you think this look suits Starless’ service?

hari: What do you mean by that?

kasumi: No, if the world gets too bright then background characters like me will go extinct.

hari: I see, so having your bangs up or down is like flipping a switch on your different modes?

zakuro: Right now his background character switch is off. Does this face of his make your heart flutter?

saki: Whether his hair is up or down he's still the same Kasumi-san.

zakuro: Hm hm hm, stand close to the wall here for me then.

saki: Ok?

zakuro: Now I’ll have Kasumi stand face to face with you and then when I give him a little push, bam.

-zakuro makes kasumi kabedon saki-

kasumi: Uwah!

saki: Uwah!

zakuro: What do you think? Is your heart racing now?

saki: Yes but that's got nothing to do with his hair! It's cause of the proximity!

-kasumi quickly pulls away and pushes his bangs down-

kasumi: Zakuro~ You shouldn't do that. Cornering someone against the wall like that can be considered as sexual harassment! I could even be charged for assault or criminal intimidation!

hari: Correct, penal code article 208 or article 222(1). You know your stuff, Kasumi.

kasumi: It's just common sense. Zakuro should consider brushing up on the basics of it. Sorry about that, Saki-san. I shouldn't be doing stuff like that to you.

saki: It wasn't your fault, Kasumi-san.

zakuro: My apologies, Saki-sama. I will brush up on my common sense if the opportunity arises.

-

Chapter 2

-green room-

saki: You wear your hair up when you come to this venue, huh?

kasumi: Yep, that's the rule I’m sticking to.

aogiri: Rule? What do you mean by that?

kasumi: I’ll give you a hint. The God of Revenge.

saki: What? That sounds dangerous.

qu: That's your role in ‘MAD LOVE’ isn't it?

kasumi: Yes, it's a role that doesn't exist in the original source. I had Kei add it for me. “Revenge is a grotesque venture that reveals all”.

aogiri: Why did you ask him to add the ‘God of Revenge’ to the story? Jean Racine’s ‘Andromaque’ takes place after the Trojan War. The way the Greek mythology of the original has been adapted to take place in the Japanese Sengoku period instead is quite complicated as well. In Greek mythology the God of Revenge is a Goddess and there isn't any fitting equivalent in Japanese folklore either.

qu: It was probably rearranged to be Japanese themed because we're performing it alongside ‘Akatsuki no Negai’. That show is also a Japanese style fantasy story, so they match.

kasumi: I don't know the reason that ‘Andromaque’ was adapted into a Japanese setting, but… I thought it would be more interesting if it were easily understood as being a revenge story.

qu: You say that, but the only reason it becomes a revenge story is because your character instigates it.

aogiri: And because of that, the Shogun that Qu plays loses his mind and dies.

saki: It sounds like a complex story…

kasumi: Just think of the God of Revenge as that extra bit of spice added to ‘MAD LOVE’.

qu: That's one strong spice. Come to think of it, the order of the shows was originally planned to be ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ first and then ‘MAD LOVE’ second.

aogiri: True, but both shows have been adapted so much that it shouldn't matter which is viewed first.

-kongou appears-

kongou: Aogiri, could you help me for a moment? Some water bottles were delivered and they need to be brought in.

aogiri: Got it.

-kongou and aogiri leave-

qu: I’ll be going too, I need to confirm some things with Mokuren before the show.

-qu leaves-

kasumi: I’m falling behind as a background character. Maybe I should leave my bangs down after all?

saki: Does it matter if they're up or down?

kasumi: I can't even keep my way of speaking consistent, it's unsettling right? Actually speaking of what we were discussing before, it's true that it was originally set up to be ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ and then ‘MAD LOVE’. But then Kei decided to swap the order.

saki: Is that so? I wonder what his reasoning was.

kasumi: ‘MAD LOVE’ is a story where everyone dies due to one person's one sided wish. “If your hopes are futile, then kill them”, they're all strung along by those words from the God of Revenge.

saki: Once they realise what they've done they can't take it back anymore… It's a tragic story.

kasumi: But on the other hand, ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ is filled with struggles and the protagonist gives up hope at one point. But he still manages to get it back in the end. I feel like there is a reason for putting these two shows in this order…

Ahaha, sorry I started rambling about nonsense. I should talk about something more uplifting. I’d like for the audience to be glad that we put the shows in this order.

–end

-

Chapter 3

-theatre hall stage-

kasumi: “No matter how much you pride yourself on your loyalty, you'll never get through to your lord. Just look at how easily that man destroyed a country for the sake of a woman who isn't even interested in him.”

“The man that you once served is long gone, wouldn't you consider that a betrayal of your trust? You should do what you can before you get destroyed yourself. If your hopes are futile, then kill them.”

-stage wings-

saki: (The God of Revenge says the same words to everyone and they all decide to ‘kill their enemy’... Ah, he's coming off the stage!)

kasumi: (shocked) …….

saki: Kasumi-san, here's a water bottle. And a towel.

kasumi: T-thanks, I wasn't expecting you to be in the stage wings today.

saki: I’m handing out towels and water to help you guys out.

kasumi: Being looked after by you puts me in a strange mood.

saki: Let me know if you need anything else, I have different drinks too.

kasumi: No, I'm good. I’d just like to hear your thoughts on the show.

saki: (I wasn't expecting that.)

saki: The scene you performed just now is quiet but impactful. Especially when you say “If your hopes are futile, then kill them”.

kasumi: It's my role to incite the desire for 'revenge’ in the others. I tell them to get revenge on those who have betrayed them.

saki: If they really could kill off the very concept of that hope they can't attain then maybe this tragedy wouldn't have occurred at all.

kasumi: ……..

saki: Ah, sorry I’m chatting so much while you're in the middle of your show.

kasumi: It's fine, thanks for your thoughts. I’m gonna be on again soon, so I’ll be going.

saki: I’ll take your water and towel back.

kasumi: Saki-san, what you said just now is correct.

saki: Huh?

kasumi: What my God of Revenge told me to kill is the hope that's futile to believe in.

–end

-

Chapter 4

-theater hall stage-

kasumi: “You should do what you can before you get destroyed yourself. If your hopes are futile, then kill them.”

-stage wings-

kasumi: You're staffed in the stage wings again today, huh?

saki: Yes! Do you want some water?

kasumi: Yes please.

saki: Here you go. I’ll check if your costume looks right.

kasumi: ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ has a lot of solo parts, so if I don't perform mine properly I’ll stick out like a sore thumb. Last time we met in the wings like this we talked about the God of Revenge, remember?

saki: Ah, yes. I said something strange even though you were still in the middle of your show…

kasumi: No, you were correct. If the very concept of that hope that can't be attained could be destroyed, then this tragedy wouldn't have happened…

However, humans can't help but cling to hope, no matter how unattainable it is. For example, my wish is so strong that even if it ended up hurting the world, I still wouldn't be able to give up on it.

saki: A strong desire… Love, loyalty and faith can all fall under that description.

kasumi: ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ is the same way, I think. Even though you think that it can't be attained, the fact that you don't give up could be seen as hope in itself. My wish was never able to get through…

saki: But, you said this before, Kasumi-san. That ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ is a story where the protagonist loses hope at one point, but still manages to seize it in the end.

kasumi: A wish to be able to seize that hope that you couldn't let go of, huh… If only it were that simple.

saki: ‘Akatsuki no Negai’ is a hopeful story. I’m sure your wish will come true.

kasumi: Hearing you say so makes me believe it will. The second act is starting, I’ll be going. Watch me from here, ok?

-time pass, theatre hall-

saki: (A lot happened, but all of the shows ended up being performed without disruption. …Huh? Someone’s still on the stage. I thought everyone had gone and gotten changed already.)

-stage wings-

saki: Um, is someone still here…?

kasumi: You surprised me. I was just thinking about you. Ah, not in a bad way, I meant that in a good way. I think that performing the shows in this order was the correct choice after all.

saki: ‘MAD LOVE’ and then ‘Akatsuki no Negai’. The show ends on a hopeful note this way

kasumi: I had thought that the order didn't matter either way, but… Hearing you say that you believe my wish will come true made me start to believe the same thing. Some people pray in order for their wishes to come true…

saki: I’m sure it will.

kasumi: Could you say that one more time?

saki: I’m sure your wish will come true, Kasumi-san.

-bloomed cg, kasumi with tears in his eyes

kasumi: This is the first time I’ve wanted someone to say that to me. All this time, that's all that I’ve wanted to hear. Thank you, your words have saved me.

[The Secret behind the Veil] Bridal 2024 4☆ -part 1-

[On the streets, Saki walking]

Kasumi: Oh, Saki-san. What a coincidence. Are you on your way to the store?

Saki: Yes. Are you on a shopping errand, Kasumi-san?

Kasumi: Correct. Please excuse all these stuff that I'm carrying~

Saki: It's really a lot. I can help you carry some of them if you'd like.

Kasumi: I appreciate it, but your thoughtfulness is more than enough.

Letting a lady carry some stuff is an issue that goes beyond being a mob.

But oh, can I accompany you to the store?

Saki: Of course, let's go together.

[cut scene; still on the streets, Kasumi and Saki walking together]

Saki: How is everyone in C doing for the Bridal Show rehearsals?

Kasumi: It's as usual. It seems that Mokuren is very enthusiastic about it, too.

Ah, we had a rather unexpected meeting the other day.

For the sake of getting some references for our performance, we had a love talk contest.

Saki: Eh, Love talk contest… …? Was it exciting?

Kasumi: Haha, there wasn't any excitement at all~

I can't believe that we'd be talking about those kinds of things in Starless of all places, it's that kind of feeling.

Saki: I'm curious what kind of things Kasumi-san has talked about. Is it okay to hear about it?

Kasumi: Well~ I don't really have interesting stories to tell people~

Saki: Then, how about if you did have a lover, what would you do for them?

Ah, that's crossing the line, isn't it! I'm sorry.

Kasumi: No, no. Hmm—, It's a very cliché answer but—

I want to protect the person important to me from any danger.

Something like that. What do you think?

Saki: Ohh~ that sounds lovely!

Kasumi: But well, I'm not sure if I can do something like that though.

Saki: That's not true, if it's Kasumi-san—

Kasumi: Woah, pardon me.

(Music stops briefly; Kasumi pulls Saki towards him)

Saki: Wah… …?!

(Kasumi moving away)

Kasumi: The person coming from the other direction was about to bump into you, Saki-san.

Saki: Ah… … Thank you.… … I knew it. If it's Kasumi-san, you can protect the person important to you.

Kasumi: Ahaha, you're giving me too much credit~

But if Saki-san says so, I'm going to get carried away.

I'll do my best as a mob to live up to your expectations.

[Starless Bar]

Saki: Wow, delicious. This cocktail is very easy to drink.

Kasumi: That's an original cocktail.

I'm glad that it suits your taste. I can make it again so just let me know.

Saki: Thank you very much. It makes me feel like I can drink a lot.

It's rare that I get to drink with Kasumi-san like this.

Kasumi: Ahh… that might be the case, huh.

I only ever drink casually in social business gatherings.

Plus, the standard drink for a mob in drinking parties is oolong tea, isn't it?

Saki: Is that how it is?

Kasumi: For a mob, drinking parties are a battlefield.

I can't just get drunk and leave the front line.

That's why today's a bit special.

[Card CG]

Kasumi: No matter what, I really wanted to have fun with you tonight.

Because for me, you're a special person.

Sharing this glass with you is the best present that I could have.

Saki: *startled* Ah, eh…

Kasumi: I do hope that this will be a very unforgettable day for you as well.

[CG end]

Saki: It is… indeed an unforgettable day for me, too. Thank you.

Kasumi: … …

*Startled* Oh my, the pace became a little too fast!

Let me prepare the chaser.

Saki: Ah, yes. Kasumi-san, are you alright?

Kasumi: Yeah, yeah, I'm all good.

I should anticipate and act ahead. This is a butler's job.

That's why, my lady, please sit back and enjoy.

Saki: I-If you say so.

Kasumi: I got a little too excited about celebrating my birthday with just the two of us.

So the alcohol hit me faster than I thought it would

*Blushes* .… … Let's just say that it's that.

Note: In the *Startled* parts, their dialogues went shakey ww two dummies 😭

[A Mob Butler's True Feelings] Birthday 2025 4☆ -part 1-

[Starless Floor]

Saki: (Oh… did they forget the spoon? I'll have to ask someone—)

*Kasumi appears*

Kasumi: Sorry to keep you waiting, my lady.

Here you go, a spoon for you to use.

I'll take your empty plates away as well~

Saki: Thank you very much! I was just about to call for you.

Kasumi: No problem~

After all, it's a butler's duty to rush to my lady's side as soon as possible.

If there's anything that you need, you can rely on this mob butler.

Well then, please do enjoy yourself.

*Kasumi walks away*

Saki: (As expected of Kasumi-san … … a butler that is always ready at your service… …)

Saki: … Hmm? What's this, a piece of paper.

[Scene cuts to Starless Bar]

Kasumi: Welcome back, my lady.

Thank you for coming.

Saki: Likewise. Thank you for inviting me.

Kasumi: As expected from my lady, you noticed the little note.

Well then, have a seat. Now we just need the nuts and the drinks.

Saki: Wow, what a pretty cocktail.

Kasumi: That's a service from myself. Please do accept it.

I wasn't able to spend time with you at all during business hours, my lady. I'd like to express my gratitude once more.

… Ah. But inviting you after the closing time isn't the most mob-like thing to do, isn't it?

Saki: No, I'm glad. I also wanted to join your celebration, Kasumi-san.

Kasumi: If that's the case, I'm glad. It's worth the courage.

I believed that my lady would come, so I also prepared a drink for myself.

Would it be okay to share a toast with me?

Saki: Yes.

Kasumi: Then, to this wonderful moment— cheers.

*glass clinking sfx*

Saki: Fufu, cheers. Kasumi-san, Happy birthday.

Kasumi: … To be able to spend my birthday with you like this—

I'm such a lucky person.

Past and Present- Kasumi W Dual Skill (ft. Akira) 4☆ -part 2-

(Starless Stage, Kasumi walks towards Akira)

Kasumi: Good work today~ Is the stage rehearsals about to begin?

Akira: Oh—

What the, your costume fits perfectly after all.

It would've been so funny if the size actually didn't fit though.

(Card CG)

Kasumi: Well, that's a mob’s duty thoroughly fulfilled.

Since it's been a while, I was unsure if I actually wore it correctly.

Akira: Ahaha, where could you possibly go wrong in that outfit.

Kasumi: It's been four years after all. Of course I want to make sure everything is in place.

(CG end)

Akira: You're all fired up, aren't you.

Kasumi: Of course I am.

I'm more like a guest performer right now. It's not the same as when I was in Team W.

Akira: It doesn't feel like that though? You fit in just right for this time, too.

Kasumi: Of course that's because I did my best. It's just natural, but both W and myself have changed.

I have to make sure to be on point with other teams’ choreography. Otherwise, this mob's duty will not be fulfilled.

Akira: Ah—, you mean being able to perform for all the teams?

So you still do that, huh.

Kasumi: We have five teams now, so I can't do it as well as before.

I still try to do it as much as I can, though.

Akira: You're really doing a good job. I wouldn't want to learn other people's dance parts.

Kasumi: That's fine for Akira. In a mob’s case, I should be able to fill in any gaps.

But this time, I'm standing in for a big role of a No. 2, so I can't afford to give a lackluster performance.

Akira: Well, there's no need to worry about that.

After all, I am the center. And my singing is also flawless.

Kasumi: Haha, that's very much like you, Akira.

Akira: Alright, it's about time we start our stage rehearsals.

Kasumi: Roger that~

Past and Present- Kasumi W Dual Skill (ft. Akira) 4☆ -part 1-

(reha room)

Kasumi: Hahh, It's been a while since I've done a W lesson, and it's tough~

Akira: The heck do you mean, you're not out of breath at all.

Kasumi: No, no, I'm totally exhausted. After this, it's time for a big and difficult search inside the costume room.

Akira: A search?

Kasumi: Well you see, since it's a W stage, isn't it just right to wear a W costume?

I should've done it before the lessons.

Akira: Ah— ‘s that so? How diligent of you.

Kasumi: This is perfect, Akira, could you lend me a helping hand?

It would be difficult for just one person.

Akira: No way, it's a hassle.

Kasumi: Now, now, don't be like that. By courtesy of us being on the same team, I'm counting on you.

(Cut scene. Costume Room, Akira opens the door)

Akira: Uwaah, it's so dusty … Hahh—

Achoo!

Kasumi: This room sure is as dusty as ever.

Akira: It's way too much trouble to search around here. Ain't your C costume good enough?

Kasumi: Eehh~ I'm going to be in a W Stage after all, so it has to be the W costume.

Besides, they're organized by team, so I think we'll easily spot them.

I'll go look for the costume per se, so please look for the shoes, Akira.

Akira: … … I have no other choice, huh.

With this, I don't owe you anymore for substituting for this show.

(Cut scene. After some time in the costume room)

Kasumi: Ah, here it is.

Akira: Hm? This cardboard box… (Akira opens the box)

Bingo! Shoes, obtained!

Kasumi: Thanks, Akira.

I've also found these. I guess we've completed the set.

Akira: Ahh, Kasumi's outfit was like this. That brings me back~

Kasumi: It's been four years since Team C's debut, huh~

... I've never thought that I'd get to wear this again.

Akira: But, it doesn't look damaged, right? Well, that's good news.

Kasumi: That's thanks to Unei-kun keeping it in good condition.

Akira: Hmm. He's surprisingly useful, isn't he?

Kasumi: I'll go and wear this for the stage rehearsals.

Though I'm a little concerned whether I could wear this or not.

Akira: Eh, why?

Kasumi: Well~ around the stomach. I'm already in my thirties, after all.

Akira: … … Hahh?

Those abs are saying otherwise.

A Shadow Standing in Prayer- Kasumi Easter 2024 4☆ -part 2-

(Starless Break Area)

Kasumi: Saki-san, welcome.

Saki: Ah, Kasumi-san.

Kasumi: By the way, many thanks for last time~ It was really helpful that you listened to my woes.

Saki: But I didn't really do anything significant… How is your stage coming along?

Kasumi: It's already going great. Probably.

Saki: “Probably”, you say, but I think it's going to go well. But if you need me, I'm always here to listen.

Kasumi: …I see, I think I can put it all together a bit better if you could lend me a listening ear.

Then for this time, please do hear me out for a little while. Sorry about this, Saki-san.

Saki: It's okay. Talking about it would let you organize your thoughts better.

(Short pause, Kasumi's expression becomes serious)

Kasumi: … For Sei, Mei is family. His little sister.

He was the Chief Mourner in the funeral, and was more grief-stricken than anybody else.

I'm sure that Sei asked this to himself over and over again.

Was she really seeking her death, Was there really no other option.

Why couldn't I protect her…

Saki: … ..

Kasumi: But no matter how much regret Sei has, Mei will never come back.

That inevitable ending is something that I realized.

Saki: That is, Sei's sorrow and regret…

Kasumi: But… I don't want to have those feelings anymore, I won't allow it.

I want to cherish being with someone important to me until the very end. If it were up to me, that's what I would do.

Because someone precious to me is right within my reach.

Saki: (Kasumi-san…)

Kasumi: … … —are the thoughts that I've grasped from this.

Oh my~ I'm really grateful that you've put up with such a long talk!

Saki: … … Kasumi-san's Sei is something to look forward to for today's stage.

Kasumi: If you say it like that, then I have no choice to do my best, please do watch out for it~

(Stage)

Kasumi: “…”

Saki: (Next is, the scene that Kasumi-san talked about…)

(Card CG)

Kasumi: “If only I could turn back the hands of the clock and start all over. Then, I could—”

“… …”

“ … the truth is, I wanted you to keep on living. I wanted you to always stay by my side.”

“That's why, this pain inside my heart is proof of you. A proof that you were here…”

(Church bell ringing sfx)

“—Ahh, the church bells have rung. It's time.”

Masterlist

Note: Lost in translation but Kasumi refers to Mei as "kanojo" in the italicized she/her above. This is a common way to refer to a female subject, but is uncharacteristic of Kasumi in general who, when speaking of heroine roles, says the name or "the heroine". The 2nd sentence being "Why couldn't [I] protect [that girl]" when he refers to [Sei] in the first sentence shows how he slipped into mixing it with possibly personal experience.

This vagueness of whether Kasumi is talking about his role or he's overlapping his personal experiences is also shown in the first part, where he doesn't use any pronouns/other indicators that he is talking about his character, Sei's thoughts or whether it's already his personal thoughts. I think overall, it's a sneaky way of hinting his lore, which heavily involves his little sister and parallels his role in this Easter show
