| Store Owner | Here's your croquette ramen! |
| Azami | I'm digging in. |
| Shifuto | Time to dig in. |
| *slurps* |
| Kumon | See!? See!? It's tasty, right!? |
| Shifuto | Well yeah, but croquette udon is still the best! |
| Azami | Both are tasty, but both have croquettes. |
| Kumon | It's because it has croquette that it's delish! |
| Shifuto | He's right, Azami! |
| Azami | Y'all croquette aliens are annoyin' as fuck… |
| Shifuto | Oh, right! Kumon, let's go play baseball next time! |
| Kumon | Okay! |
| Shifuto | Join us, Azami. |
| Azami | I'll join if it's futsal. |
| Shifuto | No fun. What a soccer person. |
| Kumon | Oh, yeah, can we do it after our upcoming play wraps up? I'm one of the cast members. |
| Shifuto | That means you're gonna be busy handling the hair and makeup too, Azami? |
| Azami | Since we had to shoot for the flyers yesterday, me and Yuki-san finished both makeup and costumes in no time. |
| Shifuto | Heh! I'm looking forward to it. |
| Kumon | *sighs* The shoot… |
| Shifuto | Why are you down? |
| Kumon | My shoot didn't come out quite good… because I still couldn't get into my role well… |
| Azami | My makeup should be perfect, though? |
| Kumon | I know! But you see, I looked like a kid in the photo… |
| I couldn't bring out the vibe of a noble or even a samurai-like elegance. |
| Even though I'm determined to deliver a more serious act compared to the time when I played the Lord, I can't bring out that ambiance due to my gestures and demeanor. |
| Both Tenma-san and Director told me to try acting like I'm older than my age. |
| Shifuto | Age, huh. You're really at a disadvantage here. |
| Azami | Especially since you're like that compared to your real age. |
| Shifuto | Ah, yea… |
| Kumon | Don't just casually act like you understand! |
| ...Must be nice for you two to look older than your age. |
| Shifuto | You think so? |
| Azami | It's nothing special. |
| Kumon | *sighs*...I can't afford to lose so that nii-chan won't be poached away by the Yuzo Troupe. |
| Shifuto | Huh? Poached away? |
| Azami | Nah, relax. He's just being paranoid all by himself. |
| Kumon | I need to do special training...uuuhh… but how… |
| Ah!! That's right!! Can you two give me some advice!? |
| Shifuto | Advice? |
| Kumon | I'm gonna try to act like an adult who's older than me even when we're not rehearsing! |
| And since I'll be using you two as reference, warn me whenever I act like a kid! Just say, "Out!" or something like that! |
| It's such a great idea, isn't it!? Maybe I'm a genius!? |
| Azami | Out. |
| Kumon | Huh!? Already!? |
| Shifuto | Oh, I think you're out again? |
| Azami | In the first place, ending every single one of your lines with the ! mark is so childish. |
| Shifuto | Yea, yea. |
| Kumon | Eeeeeh!? |
| Azami | Out. Your reaction is too loud. |
| Kumon | Three outs, batter change! It's too soon! |
| Azami | Well, good luck with that. |
| Shifuto | But isn't it better to ask someone else to do that for you? We're not always together, after all. |
| Azami | Oh, yeah. Won't it be better if there's someone among the cast that you can use as reference? |
| Kumon | I see. Someone who seems mature among the cast… |
| |
| Chikage-san! |
| Chikage | Hm? |
| Kumon | I have something to ask of you! |
| Chikage | Ask of me? |
| |
| I see. I don't mind doing that, of course. |
| Kumon | Yeaay! Thank you! |
| Chikage | In return, I want you to tell me whenever you notice something strange in my performance. |
| Kumon | M-Me? |
| Chikage | Compared to the members who have been here since the first shows, I'm still lacking in experience. |
| Kumon | Oh, I see… It's the same for me. There are times when I'm concerned over such a thing. |
| Chikage | I got motivated after seeing both Azami and Guy doing so well during the Showdown Act with GOD-za. |
| I can't afford to lose as fellow rookies. |
| Kumon | Yeah… Since we're gonna fight with the troupe's name on our backs, this is such a big responsibility. |
| It's all thanks to Director and everyone who helped me out that I could stand on the stage with them despite joining late. |
| It's because everyone has trust in me that they let me join such an important play like this. I need to respond to that trust. |
| Let's show them the rookies' willpower! |
| Chikage | That's right. |
| If I recall, the plays' information will be announced tomorrow, right? |
| Kumon | Oh!! You're right!! |
| Uwaaa, I'm getting nervous. What if they go, "Who's this guy?" or "He shouldn't be casted" when they look at the cast members? |
| Chikage | It's all right. Those heartless people will pay back for it later. |
| Kumon | Eeh!? I don't know why, but that was kind of terrifying! |
| Chikage | It's just your imagination. |
| Kumon | But you really look like the last boss Yoritomo! |
| Chikage | That's great to hear. |
