| Reni | I take it you don't have any objections. |
| Kusumi | Yes. I'm going to completely back away from my job as a writer. I'll work backstage at GOD-za while providing financial support to both Madoka and Misumi. |
| Reni | Then, about the plagiarism… |
| Kusumi | --. |
| Reni | I heard about the fake "Spotlight" reporter incident from Tachibana's daughter... |
| It is also still unclear who sent the thugs to attack them on the day of our Showdown Act. |
| Did you really not do it? |
| Kusumi | Yes. |
| Reni | Well, given that the attack wasn't done by an amateur, I wouldn’t have believed that it's connected to you… |
| Do you really have no idea who sent MANKAI Company's script to you? |
| Kusumi | --. |
| Reni | Spill everything you know. |
| Kusumi | I, I can't. If I do, not only me, but something may also happen to Kamikizaka-san and the people around us--. |
| Reni | Who do you think I am? |
| You have no obligation to worry about that. I intend to keep anything I hear here a secret. |
| Kusumi | …--. |
| |
| Reni | What…? |
| Forget you ever told me this. Understood? |
| Kusumi | --Y-Yes. |
| Reni | (Then, the target is--) |
| (Just as I thought, I have no choice but to make my move carefully.) |
| (I plan to do whatever it takes to bring him back to the theater industry. However… we have a tough opponent, Tachibana.) |
| |
| Yuzo | A'ight, are y'all here? |
| Izumi | Yes. |
| Banri | How excessive. |
| Sakuya | I'm getting nervous, somehow. |
| Yuzo | Then, we'd like to give the new gen, the winner of the Showdown Act, their prize… |
| Y'all brought them, right? |
| Kasumi | For sure. |
| Hiro | Yep. |
| Zen | No problem here. |
| Syu | Whenever you're ready. |
| Yuzo | Okay, then each old leader will give theirs to the respective new leaders. |
| Kasumi | Congrats on your win. I'll continue to support you all. |
| Hiro | Grats. Since you won against us, you've got to win the Fleur Award too. |
| Zen | Congrats. I'm counting on you after this. |
| Syu | Fine, I'll give this to you. Don't you dare give us half-assed work. |
 |
| Sakuya | Are these the big prize? |
| Tenma | These envelopes are pretty damn old. |
| Banri | Can we open it? |
| Tsumugi | Mine is already open. |
| Yuzo | That one was kind of a mistake. |
| Izumi | … |
| Yuzo | You already heard from Yukio-san, right? |
| Izumi | ...Mankai Show. That's a concept that Yukio-san and Hakkaku-san left to us. |
| Sakuya | Mankai Show? |
| |
| Yukio | "A year before I left the troupe, we were shortlisted for the Fleur Award." |
| "We didn't win the award in the end. However, it made us seriously aim for the next year's award, so Hakkaku-san and I held a thorough meeting to discuss the script." |
| "A concept was born during that time." |
| "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter… A play in which all members of MANKAI Company are cast… The name is, 'Mankai Show'." |
| "We think that this is the only way for us to win the Fleur Award, but the burden that Hakkaku-san had to carry was big…" |
| "Hakkaku-san was already quite old at that time." |
| "Moreover, we needed to adjust the schedule while keeping our other plays in mind. In the end, we put it on hold at the conceptual stage." |
| "But that incident happened, and both Hakkaku-san and I left the troupe." |
| "Even so, the outline of the concept Hakkaku-san wrote remained." |
| |
| Yuzo | It is just as Yukio-san said. |
| Tenma | And you’re giving that to us… |
| Sakuya | Does that mean you're letting us perform this? |
| Hiro | Yep. |
| Syu | I'm sure Hakkaku-san wanted to bring this story to completion. |
| But the actors weren't there at the time, and he had no energy nor strength left. |
| I think that's why he entrusted it to the future. |
| Y'all are the only ones we can entrust this to. I want you to complete Hakkaku-san's dream story. |
| Tsuzuru | --. |
| Do you mean I can collaborate with… the first-gen scriptwriter, Hakkaku-san? |
| Izumi | What's your answer, Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | …I wanna do it. Please let me do it. |
| Syu | I see. |
| Though I don't think that the current you has the ability to put together a story where all theater troupe members are cast. |
| Tsuzuru | I… I won't deny that it will take a long time… But I'll certainly complete it! |
| Hiro | …I'm counting on you. |
| I'm not one to talk since I lost to you, but you guys are also still lacking in power. Improve your acting. |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| Tsumugi | I'll do my best. |
| Banri | Well, after being shown such a performance, we can only nod obediently. |
| Tenma | Yep. I'm not confident that we can win if we fight again. |
| Yuzo | Taking on this kind of play right away is difficult in many ways. You need a preparation period. |
| Deliver the usual troupe plays for a while and as you gain more skills, the script will be completed over time. |
| Izumi | …But is this really okay? |
| Just like his posthumous work, this Mankai Show was meant to have been performed by all of the OG members… |
| Yuzo | Well, yea. |
| Hiro | I'd be lying if I said I didn’t want to perform this. |
| Syu | I wanted to do it so bad I had my blood boiling. I was like, "Why not me?" |
| Yuzo | But it'd be impossible to gather all the OG members since we’ve all gone our different ways. |
| Zen | Gathering these six people alone was already a hard time. |
| Kasumi | Besides, I think this Mankai Show is something that can only be realized with the brilliance of the new-gens that have bloomed as actors right now. |
| Hiro | So… aim for that Fleur Award seriously in our stead. |
| Sakuya | Understood. |
| Tenma | We'll do our best. |
| Banri | That's been our plan right from the start. |
| Tsumugi | We'll hold on tightly to your feelings. |
| Izumi | We'll definitely win the award! |
| |
| Yuzo | See ya later, then. |
| Syu | Come watch our play next time. |
| Izumi | Thank you so much. |
| (Ah, that flag next to the door…) |
| Oh, right! Please wait a minute! |
| Yuzo | Huh? |
| Tsuzuru | A stepladder? |
| Izumi | I'm actually curious about this flag too! It has everyone's messages. |
| Tenma | Oh, this is the flag that Hiro-san wanted to take if they won, right? |
| Syu | So dirty. |
| Manager | We've never washed it, after all! |
 |
| Kasumi | "Congrats on MANKAI Company's debut show!" |
| Yuzo | "Let's do our best." |
| Reni | "Daily diligence." |
| Tsumugi | It's packed with everyone's feelings during the debut show. |
| Zen | "Zen." |
| Banri | Why did you only write your name? |
| Zen | I didn't really have anything I wanted to write. |
| Banri | You're really sloppy. |
| Hiro | "Go Go Hiro![1]" |
| Zen | You sounded like a grade schooler. |
| Tsuzuru | I actually thought the same a little bit. |
| Hiro | What did you say!? |
| Yukio | "Let's aim for the Fleur Award!" |
| Izumi | Dad… |
| (We will definitely make the Fleur Award dream that Dad and the other OG members have entrusted to us come true!) |
| |
| Tenma | For now, we have to discuss this. |
| Sakuya | It's never crossed my mind that the prize would be a posthumous work. |
| Tsumugi | I think it's better to coordinate this first before we share it with the others. |
| Banri | That aside, they really entrusted something big to us… |
| Tenma | It's heavy. |
| Sakuya | The OG members looked serious. It was really their dream. |
| Tsumugi | It's not something that we can take on if we're not fully ready. |
| Tenma | We won't succeed unless each of the troupe members devotes all their energy to growing. |
| All of us have to strive towards the same direction without leaving out a single person… |
| Banri | We've never had this kind of pressure before. |
| Sakuya | But I want to share a stage with all 24 of us. |
| There's a chance that I won't be able to continue staying with my fellow beloved theater troupe members who are like my family. |
| There is no such thing as forever. But still--. |
 |
| If all 24 of us can share the same stage, let Director help us to fully bloom and win the Fleur Award… |
| I feel like it'll surely be our unwavering "eternity." |
| Tenma | You're right. It's our bond that will remain forever. |
| Banri | The higher the wall that stands in our way, the more interesting it'll become. Let's do this. |
| Tsumugi | I'm sure we can do it--. |
