Tenma | "Tell me, Scheherazade! Where is this oasis located at!?" |
Yuki | "Then, I shall tell you the story. Once upon a time, in a faraway land..." |
Tenma | "The introduction is taking too long! Explain it in three words!" |
Yuki | "Aladdin, a magic lamp, the genie." |
Tenma | "I'll be back!" |
Izumi | (...Yes, this is good. Maybe the fact that they're getting close to each other during training camp played a big factor in this.) |
| (I should start thinking about next plan.) |
| (Now that I think about it, it's about time for him to show up...) |
| |
Yuzo | Yo, has the Summer Troupe's practice started already? |
Izumi | Yuzo-san! You finally came, huh. |
Yuzo | I just got my free time. |
Tenma | Yuzo...? |
Yuki | Who's that old man? |
Kazunari | Yeek, isn't he a yakuza? |
Misumi | I feel like I've met that old man before~. |
Tenma | Is he your acquaintance? |
Misumi | I think he's my triangle friend~? |
Tenma | What's that? |
Izumi | Guys, let me introduce you one of the first Spring Troupe members Yuzo Kashima-san. He's an acting trainer now. |
| He has helped Spring Troupe's practice before and now he's supposed to look after Summer Troupe. |
Tenma | Is he the person whom Sakuya talking about... |
Izumi | Well then, shall we take a look at the final rehearsal? |
Yuzo | Then, let's give it a try. |
Tenma | ...Brace yourself, guys. |
Yuki | Why? |
Tenma | Just do what I say. |
Yuki | .... |
Misumi | O~kay. |
Muku | I'm, I'm getting nervous somehow. |
Kazunari | Well, let's just go and do it! |
Izumi | Okay, let's start from the beginning! |
Yuki | "Tonight, too, I shall tell you a story. Yes, it is one of the thousand stories..." |
| |
Yuzo | .... |
Izumi | How was it? |
Yuzo | They're certainly better than Spring Troupe. |
| But they're not funny at all. It's a fatal problem to a comedy play. |
Yuki | Hah? |
Yuzo | Especially the protagonist Alibaba. You clearly don't know how to make people laugh. |
Tenma | --. |
Izumi | (Yuzo-san is as harsh as usual.... I wonder if Tenma-kun is okay.) |
Tenma | What do you mean? |
Yuzo | It's the way you speak your lines. I know that you have experience, but you're too serious. Your way of reciting leans closer to drama rather than comedy. |
Tenma | My way of speaking the lines, huh... |
Yuzo | Watch comedy shows and learn. |
Tenma | Understood. |
Izumi | (He's surprisingly honest, huh. Maybe he's the type who accepts critics humbly when it comes to acting.) |
Yuzo | Next, Scheherazade. You lack details. You have to be aware that you're the semi-protagonist. Don't be pulled by Alibaba. |
Yuki | ....He's just like crappy actor. |
Yuzo | And then, Aladdin. The way you interpret your role is lacking. Don't think that you just have to pull it out and get done with it. |
Kazunari | Yikes, he's harsher than Tenten~! |
Yuzo | Sinbad. |
Muku | Ye, yes! |
Yuzo | Your motion and voice are too small. It makes you badly stand out. |
Muku | So, sorry... As I thought, I'm nothing but a small bean and rice grain... |
Yuki | Don't bad mouth yourself. |
Misumi | Rice grains? Onigiri is delicious, you know~. |
Kazunari | Even beans are delicious, see! Cheer up, Mukkun! |
Yuzo | Last, the genie. You're not that bad, but you have to steady your role a little bit more. |
Misumi | Hmmm. |
Yuzo | And all of you, you're still far from the level of performing in front of the audience. Improve yourself or else you'd just embarrass yourself on the first day. |
Tenma | ....Let's have an evaluation meeting after this. |
Yuki | Okay, okay. |
Kazunari | Oh where? I'll bring drinks. |
Muku | Then, shall I bring donuts? |
Misumi | I'll bring onigiri~. |
Tenma | This is not a girls gathering! |
Izumi | (Yuzo-san is harsh like always, but the Summer Troupe has already used to Tenma-kun's harsh words, so I think they're not too affected by it.) |
| (Maybe this is the result of Tenma-kun's mental training...) |
Yuzo | Heck, they're not answering at all. |
| It looks like Summer Troupe has some interesting bunch. It reminds me of the first Summer Troupe. |
Yuki | Is the first Summer Troupe a bunch of weirdos too? |
Tenma | Including you? |
Yuki | Hah? I'm talking about you. |
Misumi | Everyone is weird~. |
Tenma | I don't want to be told that by you! |
Yuki | I don't want to be told that by you! |
Kazunari | Well, well, Sumi just loves triangles, that's all! |
Misumi | I like triangles because triangles are triangles~. |
Tenma | I don't understand. |
Muku | Isn't it because his name is Misumi[1] that he likes triangles? |
Misumi | You're right, Muku~! |
Muku | Ehehe. |
Yuzo | So your name is Misumi? It's a rare name. |
Misumi | My name is Misumi Ikaruga~. |
Yuzo | Ikaruga...? |
| ....Could it be? |
Izumi | What's wrong? |
Yuzo | No, nothing. |
Izumi | ? |
| |
Tenma | That's all for today's meeting. Does anyone have anything to say? |
Yuki | Me. |
Tenma | What is it? |
Yuki | The costume for crappy actor is done. |
Tenma | Stop calling me with that name! |
Yuki | I need to adjust the shirttail, so try wearing it. |
Tenma | Eh, this is... |
Muku | Did you make this, Yuki-kun!? |
Misumi | It's beautiful and sparkling~! |
Kazunari | Awesome! Cool! The quality is no joke, Yukki! |
| |
Tenma | Amazing... |
Yuki | Hmmm, it still needs some adjustment. |
Tenma | When... did you make this? |
Yuki | After practice. |
Tenma | After practice...!? |
Muku | You're awesome, Yuki-kun! |
Kazunari | I always fall asleep after we finish practice~. |
Muku | Me too. |
Misumi | Yuki is great. |
Yuki | Not really. |
Kazunari | Ah, that's right! I've already made the play's key visual! |
| Look, look! How is it!? |
Tenma | Did you... make this? |
Muku | Amazing! It's cool! |
Misumi | It's like Yuki's costumes~. Sparkling~. |
Kazunari | It's good, isn't it!? I consult with Yukki so many times for this~. |
| Say, Yuki, don't we look like some kind of awesome designer unit? |
Yuki | No. |
Kazunari | Yukki is as cold as usual....! |
Tenma | ....You did good. |
Yuki | Hah? Obviously. |
Kazunari | Yeaay! Tenten praised me~! |
