IzumiWait, Banri-kun!
Banri...Director-chan.
IzumiAre you really leaving?
BanriAh, yup. I'm quitting both the Autumn Troupe and MANKAI Company.
IzumiWait, wait a second. At least tell me why.
BanriCuz I joined to beat Hyodo. Now that I know I'm a better actor by a mile, there's no point, you know?
IzumiI see.....
BanriSee ya—.
IzumiThen why don't you confirm that you’re better than Juza-kun with your own eyes?
BanriAll of our practices have been enough to tell.
IzumiBut you've never seen Juza-kun's portrait.
Banri......
IzumiIf you really think that you've beaten Juza-kun, watch his portrait, and confirm your victory.
BanriI don't need to see it to—.
IzumiIf you disappear now, it'll seem like you're running away because you're afraid of the results.
Banri——.
Fine, I get it. I'll check it out.
Banri.....Watching isn’t gonna change the results, you know.
IzumiJust watch.
Banri.....
Izumi.....
Banri......
Izumi(Everyone changed their portraits after Yuzo-san's advice. They've all gotten way better.)
(Especially Juza-kun....)
Juza"I want to change, just like him. I want to become someone else."
Izumi(He worked on his acting skills for these past two weeks, so his portrait is more convincing. It draws me in even more than last time.)
Banri——.
Audience AThey said it was an opening act, but it was pretty interesting!
Audience BAnd they’re holding a vote for the best one!
Audience AReally? I’ll vote later, then!
Banri.....
Banri......
IzumiI had them tally up the votes for the opening act. Do you want to hear the results?
Banri...I don't need to hear them. It’s Hyodo, right.
Director-chan, please tell me. How can I beat Hyodo?
IzumiBanri-kun.....
BanriHey, what do I need to do?
Izumi...First, you need to face acting head-on. And you need to think, "I don't want to lose"—you already have that much.
Banri.....
I don't get why, but seeing Hyodo's portrait fired me up. I got just as excited as I did when I fought him and lost.
I can't end it like this. I won't let it end.
Izumi(Banri-kun's eyes look different from before.)
...Let's go back to the dorm together
Banri...After all that?
IzumiI’m sure everyone will understand if you explain.
(....Everyone but Sakyo-san, that is.)
