| Muku | Please come see the MANKAI Company Winter Troupe’s debut performance, “Sympathy for the Angel”! |
| Itaru | We are MANKAI Company. |
| Juza | ... |
| Passerby A | Eek...!? |
| Juza | ...We’re MANKAI Company. |
| Passerby A | R-right... |
| Juza | Did you see that? |
| Banri | What’re you looking so smug for? He probably mistook you for some loan shark. |
| Taichi | But it’s major progress from just handing out flyers without saying anything! |
| Yuki | Come watch the Winter Troupe’s debut performance, okay? |
| Passerby B | Y-yes! |
| Banri | See that? Watch and learn. |
| Juza | Playing a female role, huh... Interesting. I’m gonna go for it. |
| Banri | That’s not what I meant! |
| Kazunari | Come see “Sympathy for the Angel”! |
| Passerby C | The way they’re calling out to people is pretty incredible! |
| Passerby D | I think I’ve heard of MANKAI Company before. |
| Passerby C | Weren’t they featured in a theatre website? |
| |
| Omi | Advance tickets for the Winter Troupe’s debut performance are now on sale. Please come see it. |
| Tsuzuru | The flyers this time look nice and simple. |
| Masumi | It fits the contents of the play. |
| Omi | How are the sales so far? |
| Sakyo | Looking good. The popularity we’ve earned so far really paid off. |
| Tsuzuru | We’re advertising with all the troupe members this time too. Looks like we’ll sell out in no time. |
| Masumi | We’re MANKAI Company. Please treat us favorably. |
| |
| Azuma | Please come see the Winter Troupe’s debut performance, “Sympathy for the Angel.” |
| Man With Sunglasses | ... |
| Azuma | ...Can I help you? |
| Man With Sunglasses | You’re Yukishiro Azuma-san of the Winter Troupe, correct? Is it true that you work in the nightlife industry?[2] |
| Azuma | What? |
| Man With Sunglasses | There are bad rumors all over the internet. |
| Azuma | ...What do you mean? |
| Man With Sunglasses | Isn’t that unsuitable for MANKAI Company’s image? Fans are making a fuss about it. |
| Azuma | ... |
| |
| Hisoka | ...Please treat us favorably. |
| Man With Sunglasses | ...Are you an illegal immigrant, Mikage Hisoka-san? There are rumors that you used to do dangerous work. |
| Hisoka | ... |
| Man With Sunglasses | It’s all over the internet. |
| |
| Tsumugi | We are MANKAI Company. Please treat us favorably. |
| Man With Sunglasses | Can I have a flyer? |
| Tsumugi | By all means. |
| Man With Sunglasses | Tsukioka Tsumugi-san, there are rumors that you’re bearing a grudge due to failing GOD-za’s enrolment exam, so you made the proposal for a showdown act. Is that true? |
| Tsumugi | Huh? How did you know that I failed to get into GOD-za... |
| Man With Sunglasses | I saw it on the internet. |
| Tsumugi | Internet...? |
| Haruto | ... |
| |
| Tasuku | ... |
| Azuma | I’m done with my share of flyers, so if there are any left over I can help—— |
| Tasuku | —— |
| Haruto | —— |
| Azuma | Isn’t that... |
| ... |
| |
| Izumi | Everyone! Thanks to all the troupe members working hard to advertise the performance, the tickets will be sold out soon! |
| Tsumugi | ... |
| Azuma | ... |
| Izumi | H-huh? |
| (W-what happened? This is an awkward mood...) |
| Is something wrong? |
| Tsumugi | Well... There was just something concerning that happened when I was handing out flyers ... |
| Izumi | Something concerning? |
| Tsumugi | Someone told me that my failing GOD-za’s enrolment exam has become a source of rumors on the internet. |
| Izumi | What? |
| Tsumugi | That happened years ago, and I’m pretty sure no one besides my acquaintances at the time know about it... |
| Azuma | I was told that there are rumors of me being in the nightlife industry. |
| Hisoka | ...Someone told me that there are rumors of me being an illegal immigrant and that I used to do dangerous work. |
| Izumi | Even Azuma-san and Hisoka-san!? |
| Homare | Three people out of five. That is quite a high probability. |
| Tasuku | That’s weird. Tsumugi and Azuma-san aside, no one should know about Mikage’s circumstances besides the troupe members. |
| Homare | Is there not a possibility of him being famous before he lost his memories? |
| Tasuku | If that was the case, then more detailed information about him would’ve come up by now. |
| Izumi | Then, how... |
| Hisoka | ...A spy. |
| Izumi | Again!? |
| Tsumugi | Come to think of it, the Autumn Troupe had issues regarding a spy from GOD-za. |
| Izumi | I don’t think there’s one mixed in among the people here though... |
| Homare | Well, we do not know each other very well. We do not even know Hisoka-kun’s age. |
| Izumi | Please don’t be so direct about it! |
| Azuma | ...Say, Tasuku. I saw you talking with someone from GOD-za. |
| Tasuku | I was just talking with an old acquaintance though... Azuma-san, are you doubting me? |
| Azuma | It’s not like that. But I was just wondering if you might have let something slip while you two were chatting. |
| Tasuku | Then you’re really doubting me, aren’t you? Unlike some people, I don’t get intimate with just about anybody regardless of who they are. |
| Azuma | ...Is that meant to be a jab at me, who keeps a variety of clients company? |
| Tsumugi | Please stop that, you two. |
| Tasuku | ... |
| Azuma | ... |
| Izumi | (What should I do? This has turned into a strange mood...) |
