| Izumi | (I’m sure it’ll be fine... That’s what I think when I look at the faces of everyone here who gave their all.) |

 |
| Tsumugi | We won...! |
| Tasuku | ...All right! |
| Homare | We actually won...!? |
| Azuma | ——Ha ha. That’s right. |
| Hisoka | ...That startled me. |
| Haruto | No way... |
| Tsumugi | Everyone, I’m so glad—— |
| Azuma | I’m surprised... I didn’t think it would make me this happy... |
| Homare | ——At times like this, just be honest with yourself and cry! |
| Azuma | —— |
| Izumi | We did it, everyone! |
| Sakuya | Congratulations! |
| Citron | You did it!! |
| Kazunari | ‘Grats!! |
| Muku | Congratulations!! |
| Yuki | Ah ah, how unbecoming of the adults to be crying their eyes out. |
| Reni | Tch... |
| Tsumugi | ——Please wait. |
| Reni | ... |
| Tsumugi | Kamikizaka-san... I once gave up on theatre because of your words. |
| Reni | Are you reproaching me? |
| Tsumugi | But because that happened, I was able to grab hold of what’s important. |
| So I’m grateful to you. |
| Reni | Hmph... |
| Tachibana’s daughter. I may admit defeat for today... but I will absolutely crush you next time. |
| Izumi | ——We won’t lose. |
| Reni | Say that now while you can. |
| Haruto | Ah, please wait, Reni-san! |
| Reni | Haruto! You’re demoted! |
| Haruto | What!? No way...! |
| Sakyo | ——Oi. Surely you’re not thinking you can go home just like that? |
| Sakoda | Hey hey, you’re gonna have to pay for having everything your way, punk. |
| Reni | ...Is that a threat? |
| Izumi | S-Sakyo-san, you can’t resort to bloodshed, you know!? |
| Sakyo | Hand over the money you promised. |
| Reni | Money? |
| Izumi | Ah! Didn’t you say that if we won, you’d give us all your earnings for this performance!? |
| Reni | Tch... |
| Here’s the check. This is enough, right? |
| Sakyo | Hand over the full detailed statement too. |
| Reni | ——I’ll send it over later! |
| Izumi | (He’s doing his job!) |
| Sakyo | Sakoda! |
| Sakoda | Aye aye sir! |
| Izumi | What are you doing on your laptop? |
| Sakyo | ... |
| *sigh*...It’s fully paid. |
| Izumi | It’s fully paid!? |
| Manager | Fully paid? You don’t mean Kansai the region or an auditor, but fully paid, right?[1] |
| Sakuya | We did it——!! We paid off the debt!! |
| Itaru | Kitakore.[2] |
| Citron | Congrats! |
| Kazunari | ‘Grats!! |
| Taichi | We did it! I’m so happy! |
| Omi | All those hours of blind stitching really paid off, huh. |
| Taichi | Yeah! |
| Izumi | Everyone, we’ve got to throw a huge party today! |
| Banri | Sweet! |
| Azuma | I feel like I can drink some good liquor today. |
| Homare | Mhm. I haven’t felt this refreshed in a long time. |
| Tasuku | We’ll have to drink until morning. |
| Hisoka | ...Marshmallows. |
| Tsumugi | We’ll need lots. |
| Azuma | Hisoka will fall asleep if we run out after all. |
| Izumi | (We can keep creating plays together. We can keep performing together...!) |
| Tsuzuru | Director! |
| Izumi | ? |
| Tsuzuru | The Winter Troupe’s performance was amazing, but I got a little depressed after watching GOD-za’s performance... |
| Izumi | Depressed? |
| Tsuzuru | It made me think that my scripts still have a long way to go. I want to write scripts that showcase everyone’s acting more. |
| Just like how everyone’s acting is improving, the scripts also need to improve... |
| I’ll show you that I can write many more amazing ones! So please let me write more from now on too! |
| Izumi | Haven’t I told you that you’re our signature playwright, Tsuzuru-kun? Let’s continue to work hard together. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah! |
| Izumi | (It’s not just our scripts. In order to aim for the top, our staging and our costumes also need improvement.) |
| (It doesn’t end here.) |
| Sakyo | You better not be satisfied with this. |
| Izumi | ——Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | Don’t feel satisfied just because we beat GOD-za by a pitifully slight margin. |
| Izumi | I was just thinking the same thing. |
| Sakyo | That’s good then. |
| Consider recruiting more people at some point once we’ve done more performances with each troupe. Minagi’s worldview will be limited with a main cast of five people. |
| We’ll have elbowroom for expenses after this anyway. |
| Izumi | That’s rare coming from the frugal demon. |
| Sakyo | Necessary expenses are a different story. ——Let’s seriously aim for the dream your father couldn’t achieve. |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Sakyo | The Fleur Award. |
| Izumi | —— |
| (The Fleur Award...) |
| (It’s the most honourable award that everyone involved in theatre dreams of... The dream that dad couldn’t achieve...) |
| (I want to make dad’s dream come true. With this theatre troupe, I know that we can do it.) |
| (Together with everyone, I want to aim for the heights that dad couldn’t reach——!) |
