| *yawn*... ouch ouch… Sleeping in front of the PC sure makes you ache all over… |
| Hm? |
| "To our creator"? |
| I suppose this map leads to… MANKAI Theater. |
| ...Guess I'll go there. |
| |
| … |
Sakuya | "We've been waiting for you!" |
Tsuzuru | ...Huh? |
Sakuya | "Thank you for coming!" |
Masumi | "You're ten minutes late. Keep in mind that you're wasting your companion's time by being late." |
Chikage | "Now, now, don't be so stiff. He's our great creator, you know." |
Itaru | "Nice to meet you." |
Citron | "Let me play a song to welcome you. Listen." |
Tsuzuru | You all… |
Sakuya | "Thank you for bringing us to life. Because of you, I could find an important partner and fulfill my dream to leave the town." |
Masumi | "I've learned a way to spend my leisure time. Appreciate it. The tea is also delish." |
| "It can be an asset in my life." |
Chikage | "I was also given the chance to have a fresh start in life." |
| "If you didn't bring me to life, I might have been dead by the roadside as a criminal." |
Itaru | "Let me also express my gratitude once more." |
| "Thanks to the story you wrote, I found a path I can walk on as a knight. I was also able to protect the lord of my life." |
Citron | "Ever since I joined that quartet, my music has become richer than before. It was all thanks to you." |
Tsuzuru | --. |
Sakuya | "Then, thank you for supporting me as Mercutio!" |
Masumi | "I'm glad the white rabbit's shorts didn't look good on you. Because of that, even college students didn't come to worry about wearing shorts." |
Tsuzuru | Hey. |
Chikage | "I was also saved by the Wizard of the East." |
| "I could deceive the Wizard of the West because you were so bewildered." |
Tsuzuru | Is that supposed to be a compliment…? |
Itaru | "Marlin, you looked like a completely harmless, ordinary young man on the outside, but I was deceived by that look of yours. For God's sake, you were such a great actor." |
Tsuzuru | That's a compliment… right? |
Citron | "Hino, you should practice more seriously. What would you do if you're only good at games?" |
| "However, I was also saved by your easygoing attitude. I suppose that surprisingly caring side of yours is also in your nature." |
Tsuzuru | I thought I was daydreaming. |
Sakuya | We thought it'd be good to have the characters you created and brought to life come out one by one, just like sending letters. |
Tsuzuru | Letters… It's the complete opposite from the usual. |
| I've always considered the scripts I write as love letters for the actors. I never would have thought I'd be receiving the answer this way. |
| But it made me super happy. |
Citron | That's great to know! |
Tsuzuru | Director. |
Izumi | ? |
Tsuzuru | I've made up my mind. |
| I don't think I'll be able to use the same profound style as Hakkaku-san's, but I want to write each character in the Genpei period with great care. |
| Still, at the end of the day, I want to write them using my own style. |
| Even when it's naive and self-serving, I love every character in the scripts I’ve written. |
| I want to bring light, even if it's just a ray, into their future and close the chapter. |
Izumi | Yep, and that's why you are the newborn MANKAI Company's star scriptwriter. |
Tsuzuru | You really are praising me too much. |
Izumi | (Tsuzuru-kun looks refreshed. I suppose he's gotten over his hesitation.) |
| |
Yuki | So what happened with the script in the end? |
Tenma | It depends on whether Tsuzuru-san has gotten over his writer's block… |
Misumi | I'm worried~. |
Izumi | He's already fine. |
Sakuya | He keeps writing at blazing speed. |
Itaru | Reminds me of the RomiJuli days. |
Sakuya | We really didn't have time back then. |
Citron | He lit a dire under himself. |
Chikage | It's fire. |
Sakuya | Masumi-kun has apparently been feeding him. |
Masumi | He can even eat udon now. |
Tenma | Must be hard… |
| *door opens* |
Tsuzuru | It's… do...ne… |
Izumi | Really!? |
Misumi | Yeaaay!! |
Tsuzuru | Arrgh… |
Tenma | Hey, we've gotta catc… |
| *collapses* |
Sakuya | --zzz. |
Masumi | ...zzz. |
Citron | ...zzz. |
Tenma | Why have all the Spring Troupe members collapsed!? |
Izumi | Ahaha, they have all been supporting Tsuzuru-kun, after all. I suppose they're now relieved and their tension went away. |
| Sleep tight, Tsuzuru-kun, you guys. |
