Hanayui no Shou 27-3H

Tsukkomi-class Heroes - 3

[Food court]

Suz: So... Uh, what is the tsukkomi group!?

Sek: Simply put, the tsukkomi from various groups that have to react to all sorts of boke we have in the club.

Suz: Eh? All sorts of boke? Are there many or what?

Kar: Yeah. First of all we have the artificial boke like Fuu, our president. She's doing it on purpose, so it's easy to find the right timing.

Its: Though sometimes she says things where it's hard to understand the reference, like stuff related to old TV shows and news stories...

Kar: Yeah, if you get sloppy there, you might end up just yelling out a half-baked reaction like "Heeeey!", so be careful.

Gin: That type can also do a delayed tsukkomi too, so it takes getting used to.

Sek: The easier ones are simple and clear boke like Tama-chan or Utano.

Mit: Rather than boke, sometimes they just say things wrong or simply misunderstand something...

Suz: Huuh. I see.

Kar: Tsukkomi who sigh meaningfully, like Itsuki and Mito, thrive on pure boke like Wakaba or Natsume.

Its: I wouldn't call that a tsukkomi... I just end up muttering out some remark...

Sek: For example, if they say something like "understood" or "that might be right"...

Kar: Itsuki would idly say "s-she understood..." or "...might!?" as a form of tsukkomi.

Gin: Ah, watch out for rampaging boke like Tougou, Sumi, and sometimes unexpectedly even Anzu-san.

Sek: They have a lot of drive, so a single remark will be a drop in a bucket. When they get real rowdy, we have to work together.

Suz: T-That sounds kind of scary...

Kar: What are you talking about? The scariest ones aren't the rampaging boke. It's the natural airheads.

Sek: Sonokos' and Yuunas' lines always come out of the left field and make no sense.

Gin: The natural airheads are a handful...

Sek: Even a power-type like Gin-chan with her bold remarks has issues with them...

Mit: I still have a way to go. I don't even really see myself as a tsukkomi member yet...

Suz: ...Say. Can I ask a question?

Kar: What?

Suz: What are you people even doing!? Tsukkomi-class Heroes!? Tsukkomi group!?

Suz: There's no tsukkomi left in that! You're all boke! Boke, the lot of you!

Sek: Ooooh! Nice tsukkomi!

Gin: Suzume-san, that was wonderful!

Kar: Yeah! I knew it, you're the shining star of tsukkomi!

Its: Our load is finally going to get a little easier.

Suz: T-They're celebrating...

Mit: She can even do the sighing tsukkomi... Such amazing talent.
