Izumi | We should split up by troupe and search the departure gates and check-in counters. Spring Troupe will check the north terminal departure gate. |
Tenma | We’ll search the south terminal departure gate. |
Banri | Autumn Troupe will look around the check-in counters. |
Tsumugi | Winter Troupe will ask for an announcement. I don’t think he’ll respond, but just in case... |
Izumi | Please do! See you later—! |
| |
Izumi | Masumi-kun! |
Sakuya | Masumi-kun, where are you!? |
Citron | This is a lost child announcement! His name is Masumi! He’s a skinny 175-cm boy! |
Tsuzuru | Dammit, there are so many people—. |
Masumi | .... |
Itaru | Found him...! |
Izumi | Masumi-kun, wait! |
Masumi | ——. |
Suga | You... |
Sakuya | Thank goodness. We made it in time! |
Izumi | Let everyone know through LIME. |
Citron | Got it! |
Suga | Masumi-kun asked me to move the departure date one day earlier, but I see it was all pointless. |
Izumi | Suga-san... Masumi-kun won’t be going to America. |
Suga | That’s just what you want. |
Izumi | Masumi-kun wants to stay here too! |
Masumi | .... |
Suga | ...Usui made a sudden change in plans and arrived in Japan yesterday to pick Masumi-kun up. He says he’ll be here soon. |
| He plans to take Masumi-kun with him to America. If you plan on causing us any more trouble, I will be calling security. |
Izumi | But... |
Masumi | .... |
Izumi | (Did Masumi-kun leave on his own without saying a word because he knew this would happen...?) |
Tenma | Masumi! |
Tsumugi | Masumi-kun, thank goodness. |
Banri | This way! |
Suga | What’s with all of you.... |
Masumi | Everyone is here...? |
Izumi | Yes. We’re all here to pick you up. |
| I met Hatsue-san yesterday. |
Masumi | You met grandma...? |
Izumi | She said she was worried about you and that she was always thinking of you, even if you live apart. |
| She was really happy when I told her that you were working hard as a member of this troupe, Masumi-kun. |
Masumi | ——. |
Izumi | Hatsue-san told me this: |
| Family isn’t a bond that is defined just by blood. It’s a much, much deeper bond. |
| She said that, for you, Masumi-kun, we’re the ones who embody that kind of bond. |
| Masumi-kun, let’s all become a family. |
| Let’s keep acting together. Let’s make even more precious memories. With everyone in MANKAI. |
| Even if we’re not related by blood, we’ll protect you with everything we have, Masumi-kun. So you can lean on us. |
Masumi | ——. |
Suga | What are you blabbering on about so selfishly—. |
Masumi | —I want to. I want to become a family! I want to become a family with you guys! |
Izumi | Yes, we’ll always be together. |
Suga | ——. |
??? | ...Masumi. |
Masumi | ——. |
Suga | President... |
Izumi | (So this is Masumi-kun’s father...) |
Citron | The boss is here! |
Itaru | His last-boss aura is overflowing.... |
Masumi | ...F-father. |
Misaki | .... |
Masumi | I... I won’t go with y—. |
Misaki | ...Seems like you’re not ready for a first-class flight yet. |
Masumi | Eh...? |
Hatsue | I will be using that ticket. |
Izumi | Hatsue-san...!? |
Masumi | Grandma.... |
Hatsue | Masumi. I’m sorry you have such a selfish father. He was lonely—he didn’t want to be completely alone after his divorce. |
| That’s why I’ll go to America. |
| He must not have known because you lived apart—Masumi, you’re no longer a child who waits alone for his parents to come home. |
| After meeting Tachibana-san, I called my child and talked to him. I told him that you found a place where you belong, Masumi; that you’re working hard towards your goal... |
| He had no clue, so he whined quite a bit, but in the end, he understood. |
Misaki | Mother, I didn’t whine... |
Hatsue | I think you did? |
Misaki | .... |
| After I divorced her and ended up alone, I understood. |
| That up till now I could put all my effort into work because I knew my family was there, even if we were apart... |
| I thought that I must’ve made you feel so lonely for all these years. I don’t have any right to act all fatherly now, but... |
| But if you’re not lonely, that’s fine. If you’ve discovered something you truly want to do, then live as you please. |
Masumi | Father.... |
Izumi | (Masumi-kun’s father was just emotionally clumsy—it’s not like he didn’t love Masumi-kun.) |
| (I’m sure he was just too absorbed in his work...) |
Misaki | Take care of yourself. Get in touch once in a while. Pick up your phone. |
Masumi | ...Got it. |
Misaki | Tachibana-san, was it? Please take care of Masumi. |
Izumi | Yes—if you happen to return to Japan, please come to watch Masumi-kun perform on stage. |
| Please watch him trying his hardest. |
Misaki | ——. I’ll be sure to. |
| Let’s go, Suga. |
Suga | Are you sure this is all right? |
Misaki | It’s fine. |
Suga | Yessir. |
| ...I see that even President does not stand a chance against his mother. Well then, excuse me. |
Hatsue | See you, Masumi. Do your best, all right? |
Masumi | Yup. |
Hatsue | Tachibana-san, please do take care of Masumi-kun. |
Izumi | Yes! |
Tsuzuru | So... he gets to stay for sure...? |
Citron | It’s congrats~! |
Sakuya | I’m so glad, Masumi-kun! |
Masumi | ——. |
Izumi | M-Masumi-kun!? |
Masumi | A proposal... I’m so happy, this feels like a dream. |
Izumi | A proposal!? |
Banri | Guess he’s talking about that exchange with granny? |
Izumi | That was as his guardian—. |
Masumi | ...An eternal oath isn’t enough. |
| I was so scared—I thought my first love had come to an end. But it began again. |
| I’ll fall in love with you over and over again. From now on, forever... |
Izumi | Masumi-kun, calm down! |
Banri | If they come back and see you like this after they said, “Please take care of him,” you’ll be headed straight for America. |
Izumi | That would be a problem. Masumi-kun! |
Masumi | I love you... I really love you. |
Izumi | Masumi-kun—! |
Masumi | I’ll never leave your side.... |
Sakyo | That’s enough!! |
| *Thwack* |
Masumi | ——. |
Tsuzuru | And Dad’s lightning strikes. |
Taichi | Amazing! |
Sakyo | Who are you calling Dad!? |
Hisoka | .... |
Chikage | “Family,” huh. And of course you’re a part of this family, right, December? |
Hisoka | ...What are you thinking. |
Chikage | How should I tear apart this so-called precious family of yours? —That’s what. |
Hisoka | ... |
Chikage | ...Listen. The Organization has you marked as dead. If I inform them of your existence and betrayal, what do you think will happen to this troupe? |
Hisoka | ——. |
Chikage | ...Remember your own crime. |
Hisoka | —hh. |
