Aya [Look Up to the Sky] Part 1

Kirika: Your assignment for today will be to perform a manzai comedy routine.

Aya: Huh?

Kirika: You’ll work in pairs: Kamuro-san with Hinakura-san, and Yomine-san with Miyaji-san. Please come up with your own original skits.

Riko: May I ask why we’re doing this?

Kirika: The reason will become all too clear. You see, the goal of comedy is simple: Making people laugh.

Aya: (I’m going to be so bad at this…)

Kirika: And yet it is quite a difficult task. Comedians need to be imaginative in creating their own material, which they then also have to perform competently in front of a live audience.

Kirika: All essential skills for entertainers like yourselves.

Riko: You be the boke, Aya, the silly one.

Aya: Huh?

Riko: I promise I’ll be the best tsukkomi! I’ll jump in with those quips like you’d never believe.

Aya: Really?

Riko: Really. So, with that settled, see if you can come up with anything for now, yeah?

Aya: Wait, by myself? Where are you going?

Riko: Sorry! I’ve got to go for my part-time job. Maybe Manager or someone can help you out. Toodles!

Aya: Why is this happening to me…

---

Manager: You…want me…to help you think of material for a comedy routine?

Aya: If you can…

Manager: Like…what are we aiming for, exactly?

Aya: Something surreal, stylish, and original.

Manager: That’s, uh, a taller order than I was expecting.

Aya: But it should still be simple and easy to grasp. Something that’s relatable. Like…hm, maybe a hospital setting?

Manager: A hospital?

Aya: One person will be the doctor, and the other can be an assistant. What do you think?

Manager: Sounds good to me.

Aya: “Okay, let’s begin the operation.”

Manager: (Wait, are we starting already?)

Aya: “The operation we are performing is quite a complicated one. Prepare yourself.”

Manager: R-right.

Aya: “Okay, let’s begin. Kissers.”

Manager: What?

Aya: Y-you’re supposed to say, “You mean scissors?” Yeah. “You mean scissors, right?!”

Manager: Y-you mean scissors, right?!

Aya: It’s my first time, please be gentle.

Manager: Well…that’s one joke down.

Aya: …This won’t do.

Manager: Huh?

Aya: This isn’t good enough. I’ll go back to my room and give it some more thought.

Aya: Thanks for your time.

Manager: (Aya…it’s hard to picture her laughing, never mind performing a comedy skit…)
