| Tenma | “It’s a tiny, weak baseball club that loses every game anyway.” |
| “I hear you even lost a called game the other day. Isn’t it better if it disappears?” |
| Yuki | ...staaaare. |
| Tenma | “...Fine, I get it.” |
| “Just to be clear, it’s only till you find someone to take my place. I don’t intend to form a battery with you ever again.” |
| Yuki | ...staaaare. |
| Tenma | ——. |
| Wh-what is it. I can’t focus with you staring at me like that. |
| Yuki | You’re not losing focus because I’m staring at you. |
| Tenma | What? |
| Yuki | I can totally tell that you’re trying to forget about the movie offer by running away to your Summer Troupe practice. |
| Tenma | Wh—That’s not it, I just want to prioritize Summer Troupe’s performance! |
| Yuki | You’re going to give up your chance to make your dream come true for that? You’re going to use us as a reason to give up? |
| Tenma | That’s not it! |
| |
| Yuki | You’re just not confident, huh? Even if you do go, you might be no good, just like during the audition. |
| Tenma | What was that!? |
| Yuki | If that’s not it, then just be honest and say you want to go. |
| Tenma | I don’t want to go! |
| Yuki | You’re lying. |
| Tenma | I’m not lying! |
| Yuki | Then why are you throwing away the perfect opportunity? |
| Tenma | That’s—. |
| Yuki | So you’re just intimidated. |
| Tenma | No! |
| Yuki | You said you could handle audition practice on top of our usual practice, but in the end, you’re useless when it really counts! |
| Tenma | Who are you calling useless!? |
| *Door opens* |
| Izumi | H-hey, you two!? |
| Muku | Tenma-kun, Yuki-kun, both of you need to calm down! |
| Misumi | No fighting~! |
| Kumon | What’s wrong!? |
| Yuki | I’m saying that’s why you’re useless! |
| Tenma | What!? |
| Kazunari | Aah, Yukki, calm down.... |
| Yuki | Everyone in Summer Troupe wants to support you, Tenma. It’s simple; why don’t you get it? |
| Tenma | ——. |
| Izumi | Oh, so that’s why you were fighting about. |
| Yuki | Geez, what a pain.... |
| Kazunari | Tenten, go to the movie filming~. You don’t have to worry about us. We’ll be fine. |
| Muku | That’s right. It makes us happy when you’re working hard towards your dream, Tenma-kun. |
| Kumon | Tenma-san! I’ll work on my acting until you come back! |
| Misumi | Tenma, everyone is rooting for you~. |
| Tenma | Guys.... |
| Izumi | Tenma-kun. Don’t worry about practice. |
| Whatever you gain by taking a role in this movie, it’ll be an asset to Summer Troupe’s performance, so—you should go. |
| Tenma | ——. |
| |
| Tenma | .... |
| Izumi | Tenma-kun, are you finished packing? |
| Tenma | Yeah. I don’t need to bring much anyway. |
| Izumi | You’re going to sweep every single lead actor award in existence, right? This is the first step. |
| Tenma | I’m still far from my goal, but yeah. |
| Right now, I’m still yearning for a distant goal that I can only turn my eyes up to. |
| This movie offer is just one step towards that. Summer Troupe’s performance, too—. |
| Acting with them is a necessary step towards a future that lies far ahead. |
| That’s why I definitely won’t do a half-hearted job. |
| Izumi | Yes. I’m sure you’ll make both the movie and the performance a success, Tenma-kun. |
| Tenma | —Of course. |
| |
| Muku | You’re leaving tomorrow, huh~. |
| Kazunari | Tenten, make sure you get us gifts, kk~? |
| Tenma | I’m not going on vacation, okay? |
| Izumi | Let’s pray that Tenma-kun’s filming is a success—cheers! |
| Yuki | Cheers. |
| Misumi | Chee~rs! |
| Kazunari | Here, Tenten. |
| Tenma | What’s this? |
| Kazunari | Okayu and udon for good luck. Eat them when you miss Japanese food over there~. |
| Tenma | That’s a surprisingly practical gift. |
| Yuki | This is from me. |
| Tenma | What is this.... |
| Yuki | Check out all these old clothes and fabrics while you’re there. |
| Tenma | So it’s a shopping list...! |
| Muku | From me and Kyu-chan... here! |
| Kumon | Do your best, Tenma-san! |
| Tenma | ...A passport case, huh. Thanks. |
| Misumi | Tenma gets lonely easily, so... here, a special Sankaku-kun so that Tenma won’t get lonely~. |
| Tenma | I don’t get lonely! And what’s with this giant plushie! It’s not gonna fit in my suitcase! |
| Misumi | You should hug it when you’re on the plane~. |
| Tenma | What am I, a toddler!? |
| Yuki | Oh, I forgot. Take this too. |
| Tenma | What, another shopping list? Will you stop with—. |
| Yuki | Here. |
| Tenma | This is.... |
| Yuki | A keyholder. I made it from the scraps of our costumes for this performance. |
| Tenma | ...A baseball. Well, since you went through the trouble, I guess I’ll take it. |
| Yuki | Show us your not-useless side once in a while. |
| Tenma | Hmph. |
| Yuki | We’ll deepen our ties as Summer Troupe while Tenma is away, so. |
| Tenma | Wh-what!? |
| Kazunari | Tenten, you’re panicking~. |
| Misumi | Tenma really does get lonely easily~. |
| Tenma | Sh-shut up! |
| Yuki | Don’t worry. In the week you’re gone, we’ll make sure we grow, too. We’ll be completely different when you come back. |
| Tenma | ...I’m looking forward to it. |
