MiyasakiNow, I shall give my feedback for our first day.
First pair--.
Izumi(It's our team…)
MiyasakiI don't know whether I can call your plan a stage production plan or not.
I have absolutely no idea what this scene implies, nor what you want to present during this scene.
Izumi--.
MiyasakiSettsu-kun, what do you think when you hear this?
BanriHonestly, I don't have any problems with it. I can imagine what kind of things I wanna do in this scene.
MiyasakiIf I'm not mistaken, you two are from the same troupe, yes? In that case, you may already be way too familiar with each other.
Settsu-kun, you have to be more serious. You have to treat this stage production plan as your own problem.
Banri--.
Izumi(He totally ate us up…)
MiyasakiSecond pair. Yanagi-kun and Asuka-kun.
YanagiY-Yes.
HarutoYes.
MiyasakiTo think you managed to come up with this on your first day, great work. You did well in hammering out all the details.
I have no doubt the staff and the actors will understand what they have to do, and what they have to show.
Izumi
(I'm shocked, but I get what Miyasaki-san said.)
(Haruto-kun and his partner have a well-written plan. They can express how they are going to produce the scene.)
(Compared to them, my production plan is so rough and incomplete…)
(I always ask for everyone's opinions while refining my production plan. I guess that habit’s backfired on me now.)
(I don't think I've been doing it wrong, but if I keep this up, I can't express what I want to present to either Miyasaki-san or the other staff.)

…Sorry, Banri-kun. Even you got scolded because of me…
BanriIt's fine. I still believe in your production, Director-chan. I know you can make it a great show.
I do think Miyasaki-san has a point, though. I've gotta admit I didn't voice my opinion at all.
It ain't like I'm not taking this seriously, but it's just, I ended up thinking we'll be fine even if we make one or two mistakes.
I guess I've gotta agree with him when he said I put way too much trust in you 'cause we’ve always made it until now.
I don't know a thing about stage production, so honestly, there may be a part of me that held back from sayin' anything.
Izumi(I had no idea that Banri-kun thought that way…)
(I do think I can take my time to refine the production plan all by myself…)
(But in the end, I want to put it together with everyone.)
(Because I only have Banri-kun with me now as the assistant director, I have to ask for his help…)
Banri-kun, you’re participating in the workshop as an assistant director, not as an actor, so just say what you want to say from tomorrow onwards.
I don't mind if it's from your point of view as an actor, or something you personally feel. I want to grow as a director. That's why, I want to learn everything.
BanriGot it.
IzumiIt's not like I have an outstanding sense of theater, and I don't have much experience. The same goes for my directing.
Despite that, the fact that we’ve been able to deliver a lot of great plays up until now is all because I always ask for Yuzo-san's and everyone's opinions. It's because we produce them together.
That is why I want both of us to create the plan together. I want you to help me.
I'm sure it'll be 100% better than this. Besides, you can learn something from it, Banri-kun.
BanriYou're right. I'm gonna try to help you, even if I end up losing face somewhere along the way.
IzumiThank you! I'll take any criticism that comes my way! I'm already used to it, anyway. I have the mentality of a gorilla[1]!
BanriHaha, you're strong.

IzumiLet's do our best today, Banri-kun!
BanriDirector-chan, I tried coming up with a way to improve your production plan last night…
IzumiFor real!? Thanks a lot!
(Since Banri-kun is helping me now, I can't afford to fail during today's workshop!)
