| Banri | A private room… Are we going to talk about some dangerous things or what? |
| Sakyo | Stop questioning every single thing. The chairman often brings us here after work or when we have celebrations. |
| …I heard you went drinking with Tsukioka the other day? |
| Banri | Huh? Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask him something so we had some drinks at Guy-san's bar. |
| Sakyo | I actually wanted to be the first one to take y'all for a drink once you became adults, though. |
| Omi | Someone’s already beat you to it. |
| Sakyo | Hmph. |
| In any case, I wanted to use this opportunity to bring Fushimi as well, since he always takes care of our meals. |
| Banri | You sure it's not because you just want to drink? |
| Omi | Now that you mention it, I remember you said the after-party for Mantou Fist was not fun, and that you wished we’d grow up quickly. |
| Sakyo | Forget that. Let's have a toast for now. |
| Omi | Cheers. |
| Banri | Cheers. |
| Sakyo | I actually wanted to bring Hyodo too, but the cousins are eating dinner at home now. |
| Banri | Yikes. I feel sick just imagining Hyodo taking his time to drink at this kind of place. |
| Sakyo | How long are you goin' to continue being like that? God. You sure don't get tired of it. |
| Banri | How long, you ask? Heck, nothing will ever change. |
| Sakyo | Who knows? Considering how many times y'all have shared the stage, he may end up as your best drinking buddy when you get old. |
| Banri | I wonder 'bout that… Hey, this sake is quite nice. |
| Sakyo | Look at you, saying cheeky things like that. |
| Banri | I'd never have thought you'd let me drink such expensive sake like this, when you're the type who will totes bring us to drink beer at some standing bar[1] in a run-down district. |
| Sakyo | Even someone like me can sometimes be generous enough to treat y'all. |
| Well. Some of these are also from the chairman, so I can't possibly just make you drink some cheap ones. |
| Banri | Heh. |
| Omi | Is the chairman also aware of the situation now? |
| Sakyo | He told me not to hesitate to depend on him if something ever happens. |
| Banri | No, wait, having a yakuza group backing us is a bit… |
| Omi | But I can't deny there's a chance that both the uploader and the people who attacked us during the Showdown Act aren't amateurs. |
| At least this means we have a trustworthy ally on our side. |
| Sakyo | Suspicion is still suspicion. I'm sure both the chairman and the other Ginsenkai members are worried. |
| Banri | I'm thankful, but it's just… I was also at fault for getting into the fight… and some of the things they mentioned did happen, so I also have myself to blame… |
| Omi | You can't change your past. |
| Even after leaving "Wolf", people who knew about my past were still afraid of me. They avoided me. |
| Life is something you build with your own choices. No matter what kind of opinions people have of you, you can't do anything but accept them. |
| Because there are people who had gotten hurt because of me, I'm determined to be kind to more and more people in the future. |
| Sakyo | That's right. Fushimi and I carried similar regrets. |
| Before I joined Ginsekai--before the chairman taught me how to live an honest life, my life wasn't something to be proud of. |
| I only had regrets. I bet Hyodo and Nanao are no different from us. |
| To think we had to perform a portrait based on our "greatest regret in life" before our debut show… It was too much to be a coincidence. |
| I don't know how much Yuzo-san knows… |
| But I realized something thanks to that portrait and the failure we faced during our debut show. |
| In life, the present is only the beginning. Depending on your feelings and actions, you can always recover as much as you want. There is no such thing as "not making it in time." |
| I've come to realize that… Even if you can't change your past, the choices and actions you make in the present will determine your future. |
| Omi | I agree. It's exactly because we can't undo our past, that the only thing we can do is to change the future. |
| It's also because there are people who haven’t given up on me that I can change my life for the better. |
| That's why, don't forget that we're your friends and that we’ll always be there for you. |
| Banri | …I appreciate what you said just now. |
| Man, we're really talking a lot about life right now, huh. |
| Sakyo | That means you're just one step away from entering the old man's life. |
| Banri | Don't lump me with you. |
| Omi | Drinking alcohol does help you talk about things you don't usually talk about, like life. |
 |
| Sakoda | Good night, Aniki! Sweet dreams! |
| Sakyo | Yeah. Thanks for driving us. |
| Sakoda | Settsu-san, I'll give you some Aniki bromides that I've personally picked, so please cheer up! |
| Banri | W-What? |
| Sakyo | Idiot… Do you really think that can cheer him up? |
| *LIME notification sound* |
| Omi | Hm? |
| …Pfft. |
| Banri | What's wrong? |
| Omi | Zen-san told me to bring you to his restaurant. |
| Sakyo | The old men are doing some kind of relay to take care of you. |
 |
| Hyodo's Mom | Do you want seconds? |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Kumon | Me too! |
| Muku | Sorry for making you prepare my portion too. |
| Hyodo's Mom | Muku-chan is always welcome here. I still have a lot of karaages. Feel free to eat up. |
| Muku | Yes! |
| Hyodo's Mom | Speaking of which, is Settsu-kun doing alright? |
| Juza | --. |
| Hyodo's Mom | You two always talk about him when you come home, but you're not doing it at all today. Is it because of the news? |
| Muku | Err, that is… |
| Kumon | It's all a lie! Don't believe it! |
| It's true that he's an annoying guy who always picks a fight with Nii-chan, but he did help me when I was having a hard time during my first show. |
| He always does his best in acting. He even helped lead rehearsals when Director was away… |
| Muku | Please don't be fooled by that post, Auntie! Banri-san is a nice person, just like the hero in shoujo mangas! |
| Hyodo's Mom | I know. He guided me to the dressing room when I went there to meet Juza. |
| Besides, you’ve already denied it on your troupe's official website. I'm just worried that he may get hurt more than necessary. |
| His parents must be worried too… |
| Muku | You have a point… |
| Juza | (Settsu's parents…) |
 |
| Izumi | (Guess I've gotta head to bed soon.) |
| *sounds of glass shattering* |
| !? |
| Azuma | What was that sound just now? |
| Manager | This is bad! Someone threw this at the window…! |
| Sakyo | Throwing a stone in this day and age…? |
| Manager | I also found a note! |
| Tasuku | "Brute theater troupe. Cancel the show." |
| Homare | Isn't it better to file a police report now? |
| Chikage | I've already done it. Since we can see who did it through the security camera, they should be caught soon. |
| Izumi | Security camera!? When did you install such a thing!? |
| Chikage | I did it just in case? |
| Izumi | (His smile is so scary…) |
| Chikage | But as far as I can see, it seems like the culprit is pretty much the same type of people as the ones who attacked us before the Showdown Act. It may be pointless even if we catch them. |
| Sakyo | So you mean they're hired by the uploader? |
| Chikage | Most likely. |
| Izumi | Why are they going this far… |
| |
| Yukio | "I hope I’m just worrying for nothing…In any case, tell me whenever you think something is weird." |
| |
| Izumi | (Come to think of it, Dad told me to contact him immediately if anything strange happened…) |
| (I'll talk to him if this goes on.) |
| Sakyo | In any case, it's now clear that they're targeting our theater troupe using all possible means until things are settled. |
| They're trying to ruin our troupe’s image so badly that it even made the news. |
| Especially for those who know nothing about our troupe. It'll be their first impression of us. |
| Azuma | Basically, they won't have a good impression of us at all. |
| Sakyo | Settsu. Don't walk around by yourself for a while. If you want to go out, bring someone with you, or take a taxi. |
| Banri | …Got it. |
