| Izumi | Okay, that's enough for today. |
| Starting tomorrow, we’re going to be practicing etudes, so each of you should memorize the lines written here. |
| Juza | Do we only need to memorize the lines for our own roles? |
| Izumi | At first, yes. We’ll be rotating roles later. |
| Sakyo | If we're going to do this, everyone should come up with multiple patterns. |
| Izumi | —Ah, that's true. |
| Omi | Multiple patterns? |
| Izumi | Even if you’re saying the same line, you’re going to express it differently depending on the feelings or the situation. |
| The character’s background also calls for different expressions, so come up with a number of patterns. |
| Omi | I see. |
| Taichi | Gotcha! |
| Sakyo | —How does that sound, Leader? |
| Banri | Ah? It's fine, I guess. |
| You don't need to ask me, y’know. |
| Sakyo | You're the damn leader. |
| Banri | It’s fine; we pretty much have two coaches. The leader doesn’t need to do anything. |
| Izumi | (Two coaches... It's true, Sakyo-san seems more like an instructor than an actor.) |
| Sakyo | That's not the issue here. |
| Banri | Yeah, yeah. |
| Izumi | Well then, see you tomorrow. |
| Omi | Nice work, everyone. |
| Taichi | Nice work, guys! |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Sakyo | Leader, are we holding a meeting after this? |
| Banri | Hah? Like hell I’d know. Don't think we need one. |
| Sakyo | Then I guess that's everything for today. |
| Banri | ....Damn, so annoying. |
| Izumi | (He still doesn’t seem to be showing any self-awareness as a leader. I wonder if we’ll be okay...) |
| Tsuzuru | Hey, nice work, everyone. |
| Izumi | Huh? Tsuzuru-kun, since when were you here? |
| Tsuzuru | I came to check in and ask about the script for the Autumn Troupe. |
| Izumi | Ah, right, you need to start writing that soon to finish on time. |
| Tsuzuru | I heard from the Manager that the First Generation Autumn Troupe had lots of athletic actors, so their selling point was exciting action scenes, but... |
| Does that sound good for this group too? |
| Izumi | Yup. I think everyone here is pretty athletic. |
| Tsuzuru | Gotcha. And Banri is the lead actor, right? |
| Izumi | Hmm, well... |
| (We did decide that he’d be the lead actor and leader, and that’s fine, but... I'm a little worried about leaving things to Banri-kun on his own.) |
| (I don't want it to be a show that’s just ‘nicely put together.’) |
| Izumi | How about we keep Banri-kun as the main lead, but give Juza-kun a significant role as well? |
| Tsuzuru | Juza? |
| Izumi | I don't know why yet, but I think Juza-kun has the strongest feelings about acting in the Autumn Troupe. |
| If Juza-kun becomes the central figure, I think the entire performance will have incredible potential for growth. |
| Tsuzuru | Banri and Juza, huh.... |
| Izumi | Does that sound difficult? |
| Tsuzuru | No, I’ve got an idea—could you leave it to me? |
| Izumi | Of course! I’m counting on you, then. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah! |
| |
| Citron | The vanguard should undo that trap. |
| Itaru | Agreed. |
| Banri | No, the rearguard should. |
| Citron | The leader's command is final. It's the ironable rule of war. |
| Banri | Ironable rule? |
| Itaru | Inviolable rule. |
| Izumi | ...What are they talking about? |
| Taichi | Looks like a smartphone game. |
| Izumi | (Those three have totally become gamer buddies.) |
| Omi | Ah, I'm in charge for dinner tomorrow. What does everyone want to eat? |
| Taichi | I wanna eat meat! |
| Juza | ...Me too. |
| Omi | What about you, Sakyo-san? |
| Sakyo | Anything is fine. |
| Omi | Then I'll prepare some spare ribs tonight and.... we’ll start with avocados and cheese wrapped in prosciutto. |
| Izumi | So domestic[1]!? |
| Taichi | I didn't expect such a fashionable menu from those requests! |
| Sakyo | Quite a departure from some curry store owner. |
| Izumi | Did you say something!? You’ll need to reserve an hour for my curry lectures!? |
| Sakyo | No. |
| Tsuzuru | Hah, hah.... |
| Izumi | Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Omi | What's wrong? You look pale. |
| Tsuzuru | Uuugh.... |
| Juza | Oi—!? |
| Itaru | It's fine. He's just sleeping. |
| Citron | The script is ready. |
| Banri | Hah? What are you saying—. |
| Taichi | This thing he's holding! It’s the script! |
| Tsuzuru | Zzzz....... |
| Sakyo | He's asleep. |
| Omi | Autumn Troupe’s First Performance: “How Wonderfully Picaresque”...? |
| Banri | He finished and passed out, huh. |
| Itaru | Guess I'll carry him to his room. |
| Citron | I'll help! |
| Itaru | TY. |
| Izumi | Well, I'll leave Tsuzuru-kun in your care. Thanks. |
| Citron | It's heave-ho! |
| Tsuzuru | Zzzzz..... |
| Izumi | Let's read the script now. |
| Banri | ....... |
| Juza | ....... |
| Izumi | (Just as Tsuzuru-kun said he would, he followed the footsteps of the First Generation Autumn Troupe and made it a gangster action play.) |
| (I wondered what he’d do with Juza-kun, but didn't expect him to make it a play about buddies.... This way, we can have them be like double leads.) |
| (It's entertaining, too.... as expected of Tsuzuru-kun!) |
| Sakyo | ....To put it briefly, it's entertaining. |
| Juza | ....Yeah. |
| Banri | It’s not bad. |
| Taichi | It'll be really flashy and action-packed! |
| Omi | The main leads are really good characters, and my role as the villain also seems interesting. |
| Izumi | Juza-kun and Taichi-kun are brothers! |
| Juza | A sickly younger brother.... hm. |
| Taichi | Let’s get along, nii-chan! |
| Izumi | (But since it's a play about buddies....) |
| Sakyo | This play will fall apart if Settsu and Hyodo can't work together. |
| Izumi | ....Yup. |
| Juza | Teamwork, huh..... |
| Banri | Might be a li~ttle difficult.... |
| Juza | ...... |
| Banri | If it's just me, I can totally handle it, but. |
| Izumi | The most important feature of this play is that it’s about buddies—there’s no point if it’s just one person. |
| Banri | Well at least let me work with anyone but this daikon. |
| Juza | You fucker—! |
| Izumi | Sighs..... |
| Izumi | (We’ve got way too many problems ahead of us....) |
| Sakyo | ...Guess we have to resort to more drastic measures. Sakoda! |
| Sakoda | Yessir! |
| Izumi | (Since when was he here...!?) |
| Sakyo | Bring me that. |
| Sakoda | Here you go! |
| Izumi | (He understood with just “that”....) |
| Eh, wait, that's....!? |
| Omi | No way.... |
| Taichi | Isn't this kinda messed up!? |
| Sakyo | Didn't I say drastic measures? Both of you, give me your hands. |
| Juza | Oi, stop that.... |
| Banri | Don’t mess with me—! |
| Sakyo | Shut up. Stand still. It'll be over in a moment. |
| Juza | ——! |
| Banri | Stop!! |
