| Sakuya | Sorry for intruding! |
| Citron | It's finally the opening day! |
 |
| Guy | Welcome. |
| Hisoka | Welcome. |
| Izumi | Whoa, you two look good! |
| Azuma | Since I've heard a lot about this bar ever since the preparation stages, I'm filled with emotions now that it's finally open for business. |
| Homare | This is such perfect timing since we're also holding an after-party for the Showdown Act. |
| Reni | The atmosphere here is nice. |
| Yuzo | Let's use this place for our next gathering. |
| Hisoka | Please sit wherever you like. |
| |
| Here's your Onii-chan's Handmade Salad. |
| Tasuku | Onii-chan…? |
| Tsumugi | I think this is like that "grandma's handmade" thingy. |
| Taichi | But it still sounds kind of dubious! |
| Hisoka | Here's your Zahton Appetizer Combo. |
| Taichi | Zahton… Do you mean Zabuton!? |
| Omi | So this is Zahran food. |
| Azami | That's why the name is Zahton… |
| Banri | The names of the menu don't match with this place's vibes at all. |
| Izumi | Don't tell me the one coming up with the names is… |
| Citron | It's me! |
| Tasuku | Guy-san, it's better to change the names. |
| Zen | I'd also suggest changing them. However, it tastes pretty good. |
| Guy | Glad to hear that. |
| Tetsuro | … |
| Syu | Hey, Tetsuro. I didn't know you came too. |
| Tetsuro | … |
| Syu | Heh, s'that so? Haven't you grown softer than back when you were still young? |
| Izumi | (So the OG members do understand what Tetsuro-san is saying…) |
| *door opens, door chime rings* |
| Hiro | Sorry! I'm late. |
| Kasumi | It's alright. We've only just started. |
| Zen | As a punishment, pay for everyone's portions. |
| Hiro | Why should I!? That's too much! |
| Yuzo | It's cheap, Mr. Influential Actor. |
| Reni | But well, we're the ones picking up the tab. |
| Syu | We can't make the winners pay, after all. |
| Kasumi | Ugh… I hope I have enough money on hand… |
| Tenma | Hiro-san seems different when he's with his friends. |
| Kazunari | He's the type who gets bullied~. |
| Yuki | I think it's a Summer Troupe leaders' thing? |
| Tenma | What do you mean by that!? |
| Muku | Even Zen-san's image changes a little bit. |
| |
| Itaru | Hey, can I get another pizza? |
| Chikage | I'd like to have another glass of wine too. |
| Citron | Gimme more Zahton! |
| Tsuzuru | That name is so ambiguous…! |
| Masumi | I want another serving of this too. |
| Yuzo | Hey, think about the ones paying the bills… |
| Syu | Nah, it's fine. The youngins gotta eat more. |
| Zen | I feel good watching you eat. |
| Reni | It's not like it'll break the bank. |
| Izumi | (Just as I thought, they're all rich…) |
| Sakyo | Hey, y'all, stuff yourself so much you can’t even eat tomorrow. |
| Taichi | Roger that! |
| Juza | Got it. |
| Yuzo | Hey! |
| Kasumi | Just so you know, I barely make a living! |
| |
| Kazunari | Oh, right. I've been curious about this for a while, but has the mahjong table been there since the OGs’ era? |
| Hiro | Yea. Zen, Yuzo, Syu-san, and I often played it. |
| Syu | Well, Hiro used to come out last a lot. His moves were so easy to predict. |
| Zen | It surely makes one wonder why he would play when he knows he's gonna lose. |
| Hiro | Shut up! I won sometimes! |
| Tsumugi | Speaking of curiosity…When were the troupe's urban legends born? |
| Syu | Urban legends? Oh, yeah, there's such a thing too. |
| Yuzo | I think Yukio-san experienced it first-hand or something… Didn't you know about this too, Reni-san? |
| Reni | ...I don't remember. But I can tell you that it's not a groundless rumor. |
| Tasuku | Oh… I see. |
| Tsumugi | Well, there are a lot of strange things in the world. |
| Homare | And that's what makes life interesting. |
| Reni | You're right. |
| Tsuzuru | Speaking of, RomiJuli was the old Spring Troupe's play that we first watched, but when did you guys hold it? |
| Yuzo | It was during our early days. |
| Sakuya | Is that so! |
| Yuzo | We had a hard time back then, especially Kasumi. |
| Kasumi | ...We-Well, I won't deny it. |
| Yuzo | But I have strong feelings about that time. |
| That's why I ended up being harsh on y'all back during your debut play. |
| Kasumi | Yuzo, that means you brought your personal feelings in too much. |
| Itaru | So childish… |
| Yuzo | Oh, shaddap. I'll do my best to be nice to you in your next play as much as I can. |
| Masumi | Gross. |
| Citron | It's not good to be OOC~. |
| Yuzo | Y'all…! |
| Sakuya | Kasumi-san's performance as Juliet was so beautiful! |
| Kasumi | Ehehe, I was still young at the time, after all. |
| Syu | But if you can look good as Shizuka Gozen, won't it be the same even if you dress as Juliet now? |
| Yuzo | Shall we hold a repeat performance? |
| Kasumi | Oh! Then, I want Sakuya-kun to be Romeo! |
| Yuzo | Think about your age difference! |
| Tsuzuru | Having Romeo and Juliet as a parent-child combi sounds interesting, though~. |
| Chikage | Looking at their age gap, that kind of relationship indeed won’t be strange. |
| Kasumi | J-Just as I thought, I'm an old Juliet now. |
| Yuzo | You really are a pain in the ass. |
| Sakuya | That's not true! Your Shizuka Gozen was so beautiful! |
| Kasumi | Uuu…Sakuya-kun is such a good kid. I want you to be the brother to my three daughters. Will you be my child? |
| Sakuya | Huuh!? |
| Itaru | I won't hand over my second son. |
| Citron | Mama will break down if you get taken away! |
| Chikage | I'm sorry but this grandpa will not hand him over either. |
| Tsuzuru | I'll be troubled if my brother gets taken away. |
| Masumi | I don't really mind. |
| Sakuya | Eeeh…! |
| Syu | I see, so Spring Troupe is a family as a whole. |
| Chikage | Syu-san is also our great grandpa. |
| Syu | Don't treat me like a boomer. |
| Kasumi | But I'm the leader of Spring Troupe. You won't include me!? |
| Itaru | If you're alright with the vacant grandma position… |
| Kasumi | Well, it's okay... |
| Hiro | Is it, really? |
| Citron | I'm afraid he'll be mean to his daughter-in-wow! |
| Masumi | You mean "daughter-in-law," right? |
| |
| Omi | … |
| Zen | What are you making? |
| Omi | Since the food is about to run out soon, I'm thinking of adding something. |
| Zen | I'll make a dish too, then. |
| ...You're skillful. |
| Omi | The same goes for you, Zen-san. I heard from Banri your food is delicious. |
| Zen | Come and eat at my restaurant too next time. |
| Omi | I will. |
| Zen | Incidentally, I want you to help out at my kitchen too when we're short on people. |
| Omi | Haha, you can call me anytime if I'm not pressed with work. |
| Zen | Do you always cook at the dorm? |
| Omi | Yep. Since it'd be hard on Tsuzuru and Director if they're the only ones taking care of the meals, I've also been helping out ever since I joined the troupe. |
| Zen | I often took care of the meals during the OGs’ era. I'll tell you the dorm's very own recipe next time. |
| Omi | Looking forward to that. |
| --Oh, right. Speaking of... |
| Azuma | Do you take any requests? |
| Zen | As long as it's something that I can make. |
| Azuma | I kind of want to eat something light. |
| Zen | How about a Caprese Salad? |
| Azuma | Fufu, sounds good. I can't wait to eat it. |
| Taichi | Me too, me too! I wanna eat a lot! |
| Omi | The pasta will be done boiling soon. |
| Juza | I wanna eat something sweet… |
| Zen | Shall I make a mascarpone? |
| Omi | Looks like we've gotten busy in one go. |
| Zen | It reminds me of the old times. |
| --Speaking of, did you want to say something to me just now? |
| Omi | Oh--No, it's alright. We can save it for later. |
| |
| Manager | The sales for our Showdown Act this time was awesome! |
| Sakyo | Right. We gained quite a lot of profit since MIZUNO Corporations helped us to expand the event to a larger scale. |
| Manager | I'm exhilarated! Does this mean we're going to seize the opportunity to expand the company~!? |
| Sakyo | We're gonna end up in debt if we use the money recklessly like that. |
| Manager | Uuh… and here I was planning to make an investment to boost MANKAI Company… |
| Sakyo | You really think Kamekichi buns and goods can help boost the troupe? |
| Manager | It won't just because Kamekichi is a parrot…! If only he's a panda, I'm sure the merch will be more popular…! |
| Sakyo | Don't put the blame on the fact that he's a parrot! 'Sides, you think we can keep a panda as a pet!? |
| Zen | But still, it's thanks to Isuke holding on that we're here today. Good job, Isuke. |
| Manager | Oh no, I just simply believe that Yukio-san will return one day… And the fact the first-gen members have gathered together again like this… *sobs*! |
| Izumi | Manager… |
| Sakyo | I do acknowledge his effort… |
| Manager | That's right! It's all thanks to me, Isuke Masukawa, that the company is still here! You're more than welcome to build a statue of me! |
| Izumi | (He makes it hard for us to openly thank him...) |
| Sakyo | Don't get carried away. |
| Izumi | That aside, the fact that we won against the old members today means that we're one more step closer to the Fleur Award nomination! |
| Sakyo | Even though we're still far from being popular, I can see how big the people's reactions this time are. |
| If this was only us, we couldn’t have attracted that big of an audience. |
| Manager | You have a point… Even when we compare ourselves to GOD-za, we're still far behind. |
| Reni | It's only natural since we've been active longer than you. |
| Kasumi | Leave it to me to raise your popularity! I'll use my power as the editor-in-chief vigorously! |
| Yuzo | Hey, you can't bring your personal feelings into your work. |
| Kasumi | It's all right. Our readers are always seeking a fresh, promising theater troupe. |
| Would you be willing to have MANKAI Company as the special issue of "Spotlight"’s next edition? |
| Izumi | Huh!? Is that really okay!? |
| Yuzo | Says someone who didn't even show his face when I was featured in the magazine. Mr. Editor-in-Chief. |
| Kasumi | I'll call a professional stylist and have you all take reaaaally cool gravure shots! |
| The issue will be full of interviews too! I'll let all my love for MANKAI Company and Sakuya-kun out! |
| Tsuzuru | A special issue of "Spotlight"... |
| Chikage | It already caused a stir just by bringing up the topic of theater troupe. |
| Sakyo | We're in. |
| Reni | But wasn't that supposed to be your request if we won the Showdown Act? |
| Kasumi | Those are two different stories! |
| Reni | What's with you? |
| Syu | But well, now that y'all beat us, you've gotta win the Fleur Award in our stead. |
| Hiro | Or else we won't be able to rest in peace even if we die. |
| Yuzo | I'm sure that's also what Yukio-san wants. Find out a lot of information about production. |
| Izumi | Yes! |
| Hiro | If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it. |
| It's also my dream to see MANKAI Company winning the Fleur Award. |
| Tenma | I'm reassured after hearing that, Hiro-san. |
| Zen | I've already quitted acting, but tell me if you have any troubles. |
| Reni | Both Yuzo and I have our own troupes so we're basically rivals, but I'll cooperate with you. |
| Izumi | Thank you! |
| Speaking of the winning prizes, what's the big treasure you mentioned before, Yuzo-san? |
| Yuzo | Oh, about that, I can't give it to you today since we're drinking now. I want to set up another time and place to hand it over when we're all free. |
| Bring Tsuzuru and all the troupe leaders with you. |
| Izumi | Got it. |
| Yuzo | As for details about the gift I'm gonna give you, go ask this person beforehand. |
| Izumi | Huh? Don't tell me this number is… |
| Yuzo | Don't ever let anyone other than the theater troupe members hear your call. |
| Izumi | Okay! |
| |
| *phone ringing* |
| … |
| Yukio | "--Hello." |
| Izumi | (It went through.) |
| He-Hello, is this Dad? |
| Yukio | "Yep. I heard from Yuzo already. Is it nighttime over there?" |
| Izumi | I have a feeling there's a time difference… Is it noon over there? Is the time alright with you? |
| Yukio | "It's fine." |
| Izumi | (I ended up talking with fury before, but now I feel a little bit nervous when I get so formal like this…) |
| We just had an after-party. The first-gen members also attended the bash… |
| Yukio | "I see. How nice." |
| Izumi | Let's hang out with everyone again once you come back, Dad. |
| Yukio | "Yep, okay." |
| "Even though I'm far away from you, I could compete with you with the play that I produced with all my might. It's frustrating that I lost to my daughter, but I was so happy." |
| "You're surrounded by great troupe members." |
| Izumi | Yep. They're all eager beavers who love acting. |
| Even the ones who were not cast in this play are super good at acting. I want to show it to you. |
| Yukio | "I see. I also want to watch." |
| "I heard from Yuzo you recruited the troupe members down to the very first one?" |
| Izumi | Yep. Back then, Sakuya-kun, the Spring Troupe's leader, was the only member here. We gradually recruited more members after that. |
| We were even in debt. It was tough. |
| Yukio | "It did seem tough. You're amazing." |
| Izumi | How about you, Dad? |
| Yukio | "Right now I'm spending my days teaching theater to people in the town. There's still the language barrier, but it's fun." |
| Izumi | I see… Glad to hear that. |
| I want to see you act too, Dad. |
| Yukio | "I'll let you watch it one day." |
| "But someone might have noticed me during this Showdown Act, so I don't think it's possible for the time being." |
| "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." |
| Izumi | It's okay. It's not your fault. |
| Yukio | "To be able to talk with my daughter like this, it feels like a dream." |
| Izumi | I'll also try coming up with something to help you come home, Dad. |
| Yukio | "--I'm happy about your feelings, but don't push yourself too hard, okay? Discuss it with Yuzo." |
| Izumi | Understood. |
| Oh, right. Yuzo-san told me to ask you about our prize for this Showdown Act… |
| Yukio | "Aah." |
| "It is… a 'seed' that we were not able to bloom." |
