TsumugiNn...
?
(Oh, I fell asleep with this plush toy beside me. I’ll ask if anybody lost it at breakfast.)
Tasuku...
TsumugiGood morning, Tasuku.
Tasuku...
Tsumugi(I knew it, he’s still angry...)
...*sigh*
(I should also get going to morning practice...)
TsumugiGood morning.
IzumiGood morning!
HomareCheer up, Tsumugi-kun. I composed a poem just for you.
Tsumugi(Huh? For today too?)
TasukuOi, not again.
HomareFor a poet, writing poems is the same as breathing. Here is a poem dedicated to Tsumugi-kun...
Ahem~ A distant montage, a repeating décantage... Youth’s fleeting memories, slowly fading theories, accumulating calories~
What do you think?
TsumugiHuh? Umm, thank you very much...
(It’s the same one from yesterday though...)
TasukuThat’s the same one from yesterday.
HomareHow rude! It’s a new one I thought up this morning.
TsumugiA new one?
AzumaHomare’s poems are creative. It’s interesting how the lines rhyme.
HomareRight?
Tsumugi(Even Azuma-san is saying the same thing...)
TasukuOi oi, don’t be going senile so soon.
HomareWhat are you talking about! My mind is in top condition 24 hours a day!
Tsumugi-kun, when you are down, I hope that remembering this poem will lift your spirits.
Tsumugi(Something’s weird. I wonder what’s wrong with Homare-san...)
Hisoka...Zzz.
IzumiHisoka-san, we’re starting morning practice! Wake up!
AzumaHe sleeps while hugging the bag of marshmallows?
HomareLately, he has been avoiding me when I try poke him. So I devised a new method to wake him up.
When you take a marshmallow and drop it on top of his head...
Hisoka...*munch*
IzumiHe ate it...!
TasukuOi, didn’t you do that yesterday too?
HomareWhat have you been talking about for a while now?
TasukuI’m telling you, you did that yesterday——
AzumaMaybe you’re having that thing called déjà vu?
IzumiAhh, that feeling when you should be seeing something for the first time but it feels like you’ve seen it before. It happens!
TasukuDéjà vu...?
Tsumugi(That can’t be it. There’s no way that Tasuku and I would be experiencing the same déjà vu...)
(It can’t be...)
Excuse me for a bit.
IzumiYour phone? Did someone call?
TsumugiNo——
(It’s the same date as yesterday...)
Tasuku, look.
TasukuWhat?
TsumugiJust look at the date.
Tasuku——
Not you too—— Are you making fun of me with everyone?
TsumugiI’m not.
TasukuYour phone’s just broken. Mine has the right——
Tsumugi...Well?
TasukuIt has the same date as yesterday.
TsumugiDirector, what’s the date today?
IzumiToday? It’s the 12th, right?
TasukuIsn’t it the 13th?
AzumaIt’s the 12th. There’s no mistaking it.
Tsumugi(It doesn’t look like they’re joking. As I thought——)
TasukuLet’s take a quick break. Oi, Tsumugi.
Tsumugi——
TsumugiTasuku, could this be...
TasukuDon’t say it. There’s no way. The whole group is obviously playing a prank on us.
We’ll know once we turn the TV on.
AnnouncerThis is the morning news for Saturday, the 12th.
Tasuku——
TsumugiThis is pretty elaborate for a prank...
Tasuku...I’m not buying it.
TsumugiI guess strange things like this really do happen.
Tasuku...
TsumugiAnyway, let’s go back to practice for now.
Tasuku...Yeah.
Tsumugi(Even what we did in practice today was the same as yesterday...)
IzumiOkay, we’ll end practice here.
Tsumugi-san, let’s discuss what we’re going to do about the showdown act in the meeting.
Tsumugi...Yes.
(My feelings aren’t any different from yesterday either...)
...In order to pay the theatre’s debt, I think that we should accept the challenge to a showdown act.
But I think it’s impossible to win with someone like me as the leader and the lead actor.
Tasuku...
I don’t want to stand on the same stage with an irresponsible person like you.
*door shuts*
Tsumugi(I guess Tasuku’s feelings aren’t any different from yesterday either...)
HomareIt may be better if we do a proper discussion again sometime later.
IzumiTsumugi-san, I’m sorry.
I’ve burdened you with too much responsibility. Let’s turn down the showdown act.
TsumugiIt’s fine...
(It’s the same cycle... Nothing has changed in the repeated events...)
Tsumugi...
Tasuku...
Tsumugi(In the end, it turned out to be the exact same day as yesterday. I wonder if tomorrow will actually be a real tomorrow...)
(Come to think of it, this plush toy... Yesterday it fell on the courtyard, but it was on my bed all day today.)
(This is the only thing different from yesterday...)
...When we wake up, things should be back to normal tomorrow, right?
Tasuku...Obviously.
TsumugiGood morning.
IzumiGood morning!
HomareCheer up, Tsumugi-kun. I composed a poem just for you.
Tsumugi——
TasukuNot again...
HomareFor a poet, writing poems is the same as breathing. Here is a poem dedicated to Tsumugi-kun...
Ahem~ A distant montage, a repeating décantage... Youth’s fleeting memories, slowly fading theories, accumulating calories~
What do you think?
Tsumugi——T-thank you very much.
TasukuCan you let us take a quick break? Let’s go, Tsumugi.
Tsumugi——Yeah.
AnnouncerThis is the morning news for Saturday, the 12th.
Tasuku...
Tsumugi...
Tasuku...Let’s get this situation straight.
TsumugiAgreed.
TasukuLooks like we’re looping the 12th over and over again.
TsumugiPlus, the only ones aware of it are the two of us.
TasukuWhat are we supposed to do to get out of the loop...
TsumugiHmm...
TasukuDid you notice anything?
TsumugiJust one thing... There’s something that was different from the first day.
TasukuSomething that was different?
TsumugiHold on. I’ll go grab it.
TsumugiThis plush toy.
TasukuWhat’s with this ugly thing.
TsumugiI don’t know, but the day before the loop started, it just suddenly dropped to where I was. I went to sleep with it on my bed that night, and from then on it never left my bed.
TasukuIn other words, that plush toy is the only thing that’s not looping.
TsumugiThat’s how it is. I wonder if there’s some kind of connection...
MisumiAh, found it~!
Tsumugi!?
TasukuIkaruga...?
TsumugiHe didn’t show up yesterday...
