| Manager | Everyone, we still have some leftovers if you want a second helping~. |
| Tenma | .... |
| Yuki | ..... |
| Kazunari | I'm full~. |
| Muku | Thank you for the food. |
| Misumi | Thanks for the food~. |
| Izumi | (Everyone is completely gloomy...!) |
| Guys, we'll be fine as long as we do it like usual. I'm sure we'll do well tomorrow! |
| Tenma | ..... |
| Yuki | ..... |
| Kazunari | I know, right~. |
| Muku | You're right... |
| Misumi | Let's do our best~. |
| Yuki | Is it fine to not hold a meeting, Tenma? |
| Tenma | ...Yeah. |
| Izumi | Ah, Tenma-kun--. |
| Yuki | What's with him? |
| Muku | Tenma-kun isn't giving up, is he... |
| Kazunari | Tenten wouldn't do something like that! |
| Yuki | But look at him now. |
| Kazunari | Could, could it be... |
| Izumi | (Is he all right...? I'm going to talk with him for a bit.) |
| |
| Izumi | (Eh? His room is pitch dark... Tenma-kun hasn't come back to his room, huh. I wonder where he's gone.) |
| |
| Tenma | "And you're fine with that!?" |
| Izumi | (I heard a voice here...?) |
| Tenma | "Why didn't you say it sooner!? If only you didn't lie about the oasis and just discussed this matter with me--." |
| Izumi | (These are the lines that he forgot during our dress rehearsal.... He practised it himself.) |
| (Tenma-kun hasn't given up.) |
| Tenma | --. |
| Izumi | Sorry, I'm bothering you, right? |
| Tenma | No--. |
| Izumi | Can I watch? |
| Tenma | Yeah. |
| |
| Izumi | You don't have to worry about what happened during our dress rehearsal. |
| Tenma | I've never experienced... such a terrible failure like that. |
| I always thought that the school play at my grade school was the worst moment of my life, but it seems there's more. |
| Izumi | What are you saying? It wasn't that bad. |
| You see, it's natural for me to forget my lines. There was even a time when I accidentally recited the wrong lines from start to finish. |
| Tenma | Hah? |
| Izumi | I came out at a totally unrelated scene, fell and ripped off the protagonist's costume. |
| Tenma | Is that... for real? |
| Izumi | Yup, yup. That's why Tenma-kun's failure is nothing! |
| Tenma | But you still stood on stage once more, huh. |
| I'm scared. I finally stood on stage again yesterday, but I just repeated the same mistake and tasted humiliation once again. |
| Izumi | But Tenma-kun, you see, I have made a horrible mistake back then, but I also managed to bring laughter to the stage. |
| Tenma | Eh? |
| Izumi | I'm not saying that I was glad that I made that mistake, of course. But I was able to make the audience laugh wholeheartedly. |
| There's no rule that says you mustn't show the audience your mistakes or hesitation onstage, see. |
| You don't have to show perfection. All you have to do is make the audience happy. |
| Bringing laughter to the audience during a performance is what makes the best performance. |
| Tenma | Even if I don't show perfection, I still can bring the best performance... |
| Izumi | Though I'm only a radish actor, my heart pounds whenever I'm about to go on stage. |
| Tenma-kun said it before, right? A play is different from movies and dramas, you only have one chance to perform in a play. |
| Even the audience comes to the play to see things that can only be seen on stage once. Be it the play, the actor's performance or the time--. |
| That's why you don't have to perform perfectly. If you think you still can do it, you'll grow more and more on stage. |
| Your strength will keep improving with time. As long as you keep standing on the stage, you can deliver the best performance as many times you like. |
| Tenma | --Director's words are indeed amazing. |
| Izumi | --. |
| Tenma | You didn't laugh when I told you the incident during my school play before. |
| You knew that I wanted to bring perfection to the audience on stage, and you understood my weakness. |
| Director was... the first person who accepted my weakness like that. |
| Izumi | Eh, Tenma-kun--. |
| Tenma | Director... |
| Yuki | What are you doing, flirting with Director? |
| Kazunari | It's not fair, Tenten. You stole a march on us~! |
| Muku | Are Tenma-kun and Director-san in that kind of relationship...!? |
| F-for me, an unexpected love interest is a little bit...! Ah, but it may also be nice....! |
| Yuki | What are you talking about? |
| Misumi | I want to mingle too~! |
| Tenma | --Bweh. |
| Izumi | He's suffering, Misumi-kun--! |
| Yuki | It's not the time to be having fun. We have to practice. |
| Kazunari | Let's practice with everyone, Tenten! |
| Muku | That's right. You don't have to think of anything until the performance! |
| Tenma | You guys... |
| Misumi | Practice, practice~. |
| Tenma | You're right. We have to work hard until the first day of performance. |
| Yuki | Obviously. |
| Kazunari | Let's do it! |
| Muku | Let's do our best! |
| Misumi | Ei ei, ou~! |
| Izumi | (Nobody is giving up... I'm sure they will recover.) |
