| (Today's the last day we get to see this set. It happens every time, but it still feels like a waste... putting it away makes me feel lonely.) |
| Sakyo | ....The wrap-up party is starting soon. |
| Izumi | —Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | What are you spacing out for? |
| Izumi | ....This reminds me of the end of the Spring Troupe’s show. |
| Sakyo | Right, back then, you were the same—you’d only finished one show, but you looked like everything was over. |
| Izumi | It's funny how you're one of us now; back then, you were nothing but a debt collector making impossible and ridiculous demands. |
| Sakyo | You invited me. What are you saying. |
| Izumi | That's true, but.... |
| Sakyo | ....You were the one who forced the hands of my clock forward. You’re going to take responsibility for that. |
| Izumi | Of course. I won't make you regret it. |
| Sakyo | ...You're insolent. |
| Izumi | My hair! Don't mess it up like that! |
| Sakyo | You used to like it when I did this, you know? |
| Izumi | How long ago was that. You must still think of me as a tiny kid, Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | ...Would you laugh if I said that tiny kid was my first crush? |
| Izumi | Eh!? |
| B-but back then, I was still..... |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| Izumi | Wa...h! Not the hair again!! |
| Sakyo | ....Don't take every act of mine seriously. You third-rate producer. |
| Izumi | Wha... That last act of yours would’ve won you an award for best leading actor. |
| Sakyo | Well, that's an honor. |
| So next is the Winter Troupe. The Autumn performance generated a pretty good profit. |
| If we keep this up for Winter and work out our travelling performances early in the new year, we really might be able to pay off all the debt. |
| Izumi | Really....!? |
| Sakyo | However. That's only if we really keep costs down for the Winter Troupe. |
| Izumi | Eh.... |
| Sakyo | Do you know how much this set cost? |
| You need to cut costs where you can, or else you'll never pay off this debt. |
| First, in order to cut down production costs—et cetera, et cetera... |
| Furthermore, you’ll have minimize unnecessary spending by—et cetera, et cetera... |
| Izumi | (Here he goes again.....) |
| Uu....... |
| Sakyo | Got it? |
| Izumi | .....Yes. |
| (My head hurts....) |
| Sakyo | Well, the point is—work harder than ever, Director. |
| Izumi | Ye—s........ |
| Sakyo | Good girl. |
| Izumi | Treating me like a kid again? |
| Sakyo | I can't help it. |
| ...But back then, I wanted you to grow up fast. |
| Izumi | ...Eh? |
| (Um... he's acting again, right?) |
| |
| Reni | ..... |
| Haruto | Tasuku sure is an idiot~. Does he even realize Reni-san is the one who made him the top actor in GOD-za? |
| Reni | Haruto. Now that Tasuku is gone, you are our next top actor. |
| Haruto | It's an honor. |
| Reni | —GOD-za will challenge MANKAI company to a duel ACT. |
| We'll utterly destroy that troupe publicly, so they can never stand on stage again. |
| It all depends on you. I have high expectations for you, Haruto. |
| Haruto | I’ll definitely live up to them. |
| |
| Tasuku | .... |
| ??? | ....Tasuku? |
| Tasuku | You—. |
| ??? | ....It's been a while. |
| Tasuku | ....Why did you come back to this town? |
| ??? | ....... |
