Drama part 1 ~Shinsoku Ikkon~

Character	Commu
	Oi, Genbu, it’s win or lose from here on out! How d'ya feel?
	Readily prepared in complete harmony. No matter who the opponent is, I won't go soft.
	Eheheh, that's just like you to say that! Anyway, the intro’s the key! Don’t let ‘em look down on us and lose our grip!
(Door opens)
	Oiiihey! I’m bargin’ in! We're Shinsoku Ikkon, they call me the ‘exploding flame Suzaku’!
	Uh... and I'm also Shinsoku Ikkon's Genbu Kurono. After that—
	—Today! We're here to take care of this childcare! Nice to meet you!
	...Sorry for scarin' everyone. As soon as this guy’s nervous, his voice'll be loud.
	That's my momentum, ain’t nothin' I can do ‘bout it!
	This guy's been clamouring ever since yesterday to come to this childcare to help the teachers and the kids. Ain't that right, Suzaku?
	Eh? O-Oh! Um, this time's plans are, the idols and the kids... fightin'...
	The plan is for the idols and the kids to play together for a magazine publication.
	YEAH, yeah...! It's Shinsoku Ikkon and kids play plan! This time the two of us as Shinsoku Ikkon have GOTTA work hard!
	We’ll try not to give the teachers any additional troubles. We look forward to working with you for today.
	So then, thanks very much!
(Door closes)
	Haaah...! I was a wreck...!
	Did you see the childcare's teachers? 'Cos of your intense glarin', their fright froze up their faces.
	Ehehe, sorry sorry! I brought back my old habits without thinkin', can't act like this in front of lil kids!
	That's right, don't make them cry.
	If they cry, Nyako'll work hard too!
	Nya!
	You don't need to show me. Oi, even if I've agreed to letting Nyako come along, don't just let it run out casually.
	It'll be fine! Nyako's smart! So, what're we doin' next?
	Didn't we both look over it yesterday? Lookie here, confirm the plan we’ve printed.
	Oh right, thank you!
(Suzaku picks up the plan)
	First we gotta meet the childcare's kids...
	Alright! First I gotta say a hello with great spirit!
	Then, we have to introduce ourselves to the kid's parents.
	Got it!
	The parents all leave their beloved children here, so they're placin’ their trust in us.
	Annnd then, after that... In noon before lunch, talkin' with those brats!
	They’re not brats, they’re kids.
	O-Oh, that's right! Kids... kids...!
	The weather’s fine today, so let's just go play on the rooftop as according to the plan.
	Eheheh, when you're talkin' bout playin' outside, it's gotta be wrestlin'! If anyone quarrels, we still gotta stop them, though.
	Wait up. Are you planning to wrestle with the girls as well?
	AH!? That's right... there's girls as well... What do girls usually play? Tag!?
	Idiot, they're both small and girls, so it won’t be fun to play against a man’s strength.
	Gahhhhh, I didn't think 'bout that part!
	Nya!
	Uhurureaugh! What can we do, Nyako!?
	How about reading a picture book. We can just ask the teachers for the books that the girls like.
	Picture books that girls like... Do I hafta be surrounded by girls... I gotta mentally prepare myself!
	So that's how the morning'll go, then it's nearly lunchtime.
	Ohohoh! I was waiting for this!
	You're full of life. Suddenly you've got the spirit.
	The part of school I look forward to the most is eatin'! Today's menu is braised udon noodles with plenty of veggies, kinpira burdock, and fruit yogurt salad!
	It’s nutritiously balanced. Heh, it reminds me of the meals I had back in the old days.
	Ehhh? You’ve always been eating this sort of dish? I don’t get it exactly, but from the sounds of it it seems pretty tasty!
	But kids still probably have foods that they like and dislike, more picky eaters.
	AHHH!? They’ll even let go of such a delicious meal!?
	Yeah. Though, you have to be careful to not tell ‘em off, else they’ll want to eat it even less.
	I see… Then why don’t us older guys try pretending it tastes real nice!?
	Sounds good. There should be a lot of kids who just eat what others eat.
	Then that’s that! After lunch… it’ll be time for a nap.
	Ah. And then after the nap, it’s time.
	Showing off a special live performance to those brats! That’s the plan!
	I already told you not to call them brats.
	Oh, that’s right, perform a live to the... kids, and then it’s over.
	That’s today’s plan.
	Alright! Then let’s go ahead to the room that we’re takin’ care of!!
(Footsteps, door opens)
	Uwooah…! This is the childcare…! I feel like it’s decorated with a ton of cute things!
	And there ain’t too few picture books. This is a fine environment.
	Oh! You can see the kids comin’ in from this window!
	It’s still pretty early, but I’m startin’ to get lost.
	Hey, Nyako, look, look!
	Nya!
	Incredible~ there’s a ton of kids!
	Not only are there mothers, a couple of dads are sendin’ off their kids too.
	Everyone’s holdin’ hands with their parents~! Ahh, they’re so small!
	Did you do that when you were young too?
	My family? My parents are both pro wrestlers. Even though they both work, I didn’t go to a childcare.
	If it was like that, there should’ve been someone to take care of you, right?
	Yeah, there was always an adult with me. Thanks to that, I was never scared of strangers.
	Heh, it’s funny to imagine a Suzaku that’d be scared of strangers.
	Ehahah, I couldn’t imagine it! How about you, Genbu? Oh, uh...
	Hm?
	Ah, nevermind. Sorry, it’s nothing...
	...A place like this where kids can be seen smiling happily, ain’t that nice.
	Ah? O-Oh...
	Somehow, just seeing them makes me feel happy.
	.........Hey, Genbu. Is the work this time alright?
	Ahh? What’s up? You worried I’m gonna remember my past at the orphanage?
	Oh… I’m bringing it up again. Sorry.
	Idiot. If I couldn’t handle it, I would’ve refused from the start. Besides, my life wasn’t as hard as you thought.
	‘s that right?
	Maybe I don’t even remember my own parents’ faces, but it was still fun to be with the kids in the orphanage.
	Huh~
	'Cause grade schoolers can't use much power when they fight. Once a brawl started, I’d just knock into them with my full strength.
	Was livin’ there like havin’ lots of siblings?
	Yeah. The memories of the days I spent with them are still irreplaceable.
	I kinda get it. Sometimes I think about when I was a kid too.
	It’s become my roots, I guess. Of course, bad things have happened, but everyone's the same. If you understand that, then don’t worry ‘bout it no more.
	Oh! Thanks, Genbu!
	It’s all good.
	Ehehe, but I wish I’d met you when I was as young as these kids as well!
	? What’re you sayin’?
	I’m sayin’ that I wanted to become friends with ya sooner! But if you were that smart as a kid, you probably wouldn’t play with a snotty-nosed brat like me.
	No way. No matter when we met, we’re sure to become buddies.
	Right! You’re my only partner!
	Hey, looks like it’s almost time for the kids and parents to see us.
	Eheheh, let’s wave our hands.
	Don’t call them brats in front of their parents.
	I know! ...Alright! It’s finally the real deal! Let’s go all out!
	In the name of Shinsoku Ikkon, let’s give the kids unforgettable memories today.
(Knocking on door)
	Oh! The kids are here!
	Let’s go, Suzaku! One, two...
	GOOD MORNING!
