| Manager | Yes, yes. If you're hoping for news coverage, I'll contact you again later--! |
| I'll send you the details of our public dress rehearsal through fax--! |
| Yuki | It seems things have gotten big, huh. |
| Izumi | We are basically besieged with coverage requests. It looks like a lot of reporters wanted to be invited to our dress rehearsal. |
| Kazunari | Awesome! There will be a lot of cameras, then, right! |
| Muku | We just look like actors..! |
| Tenma | What are you saying? We're actors. |
| |
| Manager | Yes! This is MANKAI Company theatre! |
| Izumi | The commotion is not the same as Spring Troupe's TV coverage... |
| Misumi | Manager is rushing~. |
| Muku | The phone keeps ringing, huh. |
| Izumi | Anyway, we shall do our best for the dress rehearsal! |
| Tenma | That's right. |
| Muku | Yes! |
| |
| Izumi | Then, we will continue from what we left off yesterday--. |
| Yuzo | Yo, working hard, I see. |
| Tetsuro | .... |
| Izumi | Yuzo-san! Tetsuro-san! |
| Yuzo | I bumped into Tetsuro on my way here, so I might as well bring him too. |
| Tetsuro | .... |
| Yuzo | You're right. It's really been a while. |
| Izumi | You understand what Tetsuro-san is saying, Yuzo-san!? |
| Yuzo | Hah? Obviously. |
| Izumi | As expected of you... |
| Yuki | Does he even say anything? |
| Kazunari | I can't tell at all. |
| Izumi | Well, now that we have two new guests, shall we perform from the very beginning? |
| Get at your position, guys. |
| |
| Yuki | "I've already done my best to delay it, but there's nothing I can do now. At this rate, I have no choice but to join the king's harem." |
| Tenma | "And you're fine with that!?" |
| Yuki | "Obviously not, but what can I do?" |
| Tenma | "Why didn't you say it sooner!? If only you didn't lie about the oasis and just discuss this matter with me--." |
| Yuzo | ...Heh, you're doing well. |
| Tetsuro | ..... |
| Yuzo | I know, right. |
| Izumi | What did he say? |
| Yuzo | It reminds him of the first generation of Summer Troupe. |
| Well, it's not like all of them have improved beyond recorgnition. |
| Izumi | Thank you! |
| Yuzo | Especially that Misumi. At some points, he's quick to get into character. |
| He's truly Ikaruga-san's grandchild.... |
| Izumi | Ikaruga-san? |
| Yuzo | He's the legendary playwright who wrote all the script for the first generation's plays, Hakkaku Ikaruga. That person's playscript was famous for being perfect. |
| But it's really hard to please that man. If Yukio-san was not here, we wouldn't be able to perform that person's script. |
| Izumi | I see... |
| Yuzo | I haven't heard anything from him lately. I wonder what he's up to now. |
| Izumi | (I think Misumi-kun may know a thing or two...) |
| |
| (It looks like those guys are having a meeting again. I shall make onigiri and bring it to them.) |
| Misumi | It smells good~. |
| Izumi | Ah, Misumi-kun. I'm thinking to make onigiri for late night snack. |
| Misumi | Triangle~? I'll make it too~! |
| Izumi | Can you help me, then? |
| Misumi | Okay~! |
| Triangle~, triangle~. Make one and two corners and then we have triangle-sa~n. |
| Izumi | Oh, right, is Misumi-kun's grandfather perhaps Hakkaku Ikaruga-san? |
| Misumi | That's right~. Is Director-san friends with grandpa~? |
| Izumi | No. Yuzo-san told me today. |
| Misumi | Yuzo is grandpa's triangle friend~. They were doing theatre together~. |
| Izumi | You know it? |
| Misumi | I used to watch videos for grandpa's plays a lot in the past! |
| Grandpa was the one who taught me acting. He was the only one who didn't abandon me. |
| Izumi | I see.... Do you invite your grandpa to our play too? |
| Misumi | No. He's dead. |
| Izumi | Eh... |
| Misumi | This is grandpa's memento! It's my good luck charm! |
| Izumi | Is this... triangle ruler? |
| Misumi | Yes~. This one is the most important triangle! |
| Izumi | (Now that I think about it, I saw this ruler in the Summer Troupe's video...) |
| Misumi | Grandpa was a meticulous person, see, so he always used this ruler to write scripts~. |
| Izumi | I see... |
| Misumi | ....Director-san is similar to grandpa. |
| And you're also similar to triangle! |
| Izumi | (I have mixed feelings about that...) |
| Do you think your grandpa will be happy to know that you join this theatre? |
| Misumi | Yes! Grandpa always told me~, "Theatre is fun, so you should do it too someday." |
| Izumi | I see.... |
| (I'm glad... I'm really glad that Misumi-kun could act and become a member of Summer Troupe.) |
| (I guess it's all thanks to Misumi-kun's grandpa. Thank you, grandpa.) |
