| Izumi | (We’re finally at the second last performance...) |
| (The final performance will have to take place at GOD-za’s theatre because of the showdown, so this will be the last time we’ll perform this play here at the MANKAI theatre...) |
| Today is the last day we’re doing this show at our homebase. Let’s put our all into it! |
| Tasuku | Yeah. |
| Azuma | Tomorrow is the showdown after all. This is probably the last time we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves earnestly. |
| Homare | It’s a little saddening. |
| Hisoka | ...Let’s enjoy it. |
| Tsumugi | ... |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | Director, for today, can I change up my acting a little bit? |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Tsumugi | I just want to improve my acting... |
| Izumi | That’s fine with me... But in what way are you thinking of changing it? |
| Tsumugi | ...Can you entrust it to me? |
| Izumi | ...Okay. |
| Tsumugi | ... |
| Izumi | (I don’t think there should be any problem if it’s Tsumugi-san... But I’m a bit worried about that brooding look he’s making.) |
| |
| Izumi | (I wonder how Tsumugi-san is planning to change things up...) |
| |
| Michael | “Raphael, you’re worried about me, aren’t you?” |
| Raphael | “Falling in love with a human will only bring you misfortune. I know that well.” |
| Michael | “That’s fine with me. Even if it makes me miserable, I want to make her happy.” |
| Izumi | (...Huh!?) |
| Michael | “I can descend to the human world?” |
| “Thank you, Metatron.” |
| Izumi | (Is this really Tsumugi-san...? He’s acting like how Tasuku-san did back at the beginning...) |
| (No, this is nothing but a cheap mimicry of Tasuku-san. Tsumugi-san, why this kind of acting...?) |
| (Is this what he meant when he said that he wanted to improve his acting? But rather than improving it, this is changing it for the worse——) |
| |
| Izumi | ... |
| (The audience are applauding, but compared to their other performances so far, that was superficial and low quality...) |
| Tasuku | Tsumugi, why’d you have to do something like that...! |
| Tsumugi | I don’t even know the answer to that myself...! |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san—— |
| Tasuku | Damn it... |
| Homare | Frankly speaking, I do not think we can beat GOD-za with a performance like that. |
| Azuma | I don’t think so either. |
| Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
| Izumi | ...I’m sure that Tsumugi-san knows that himself. Let’s move on and switch gears for the final performance tomorrow. |
| Tasuku | ... |
| |
| Izumi | (I wonder if the entire stage set has been carried out...) |
| (It’s tough having to bring all that to GOD-za’s theatre by tomorrow.) |
| (All that’s left is to go through a final check of tomorrow’s performance with everyone... But I wonder if Tsumugi-san is okay.) |
| Tasuku | Director. |
| Izumi | Ah, Tasuku-san. Were you able to talk to Tsumugi-san? |
| Tasuku | No... |
| Izumi | You have to talk to him... With the way he is right now, Tsumugi-san won’t be able to act suitably for the final performance tomorrow. |
| Tasuku | I can’t be the one to talk to him. I’ll definitely end up driving him to a corner again. |
| Izumi | Again? |
| Tasuku | ...It was the same back then too. |
| When we auditioned for GOD-za, I knew that Tsumugi was acting strangely. And yet I couldn’t say anything. |
| I was the only one that passed, so even if I said anything it would’ve sounded like I was bragging; so I couldn’t talk to him. |
| And just like that, Tsumugi quit theatre. I really regretted not talking to him. |
| But I turned my eyes away from that regret, and did nothing but condemn Tsumugi for quitting theatre instead... |
| Izumi | (Tasuku-san... He’s been thinking that way all this time.) |
| If you already regretted it once, then you shouldn’t repeat it again. |
| Tasuku | —— |
| Izumi | You may have not been able to talk to Tsumugi-san back then, but you can talk to him now. |
| Please do it so you won’t have any more regrets. |
| Tasuku | ——I’ll go. |
| Izumi | By all means. |
