Washimiya | “Now that I’m here, we’re aiming for the Koshien.” |
Akiyama | “Eh!?” |
Ono | “The Koshien?” |
Inoue | “You’ve gotta be stupid. How are we gonna get there with five club members?” |
Washimiya | “Five? You only have five members?” |
Inoue | “We can’t even have a practice game.” |
Akiyama | “B-but we’ll do our best to gather more members!” |
Inoue | “You just barely managed to get five.” |
Akiyama | “Uu, w-well....” |
Washimiya | “That’s fine. I can easily get us four more members by tomorrow.” |
Inoue | “What? How?” |
Izumi | (This is good... Everyone’s performing as usual—no, they’re better than usual. The audience’s reactions are good too.) |
| |
Izumi | (Thank goodness. The first act ended without a hitch....) |
Kumon | —gh. |
Izumi | (He staggered...!?) |
| Kumon-kun, are you okay!? |
Kumon | Pant, pant, pant.... |
Muku | Kyu-chan! |
Izumi | (He’s out of breath. The fever is draining all his energy.) |
Kumon | I’m fine...! I can keep going! Let me keep going! |
Izumi | Kumon-kun.... |
Kumon | Please! |
Izumi | ...All right. |
Tenma | Go! |
Kumon | Yeah! |
| |
Washimiya | “We’re starting practice now. By the way, now that you’re here, I won’t let anyone leave the club.” |
| “Every time you get a crush on someone, I’m going to show them a photo of you admiring me like fools.” |
Akiyama | “!!” |
Washimiya | “Start with ten laps around the field!” |
Akiyama | “—Eh, but our club advisor still isn’t here.” |
Washimiya | “Run!” |
Akiyama | “Y-yes!” |
Izumi | (Kumon-kun is amazing. You can’t see how exhausted he is at all....) |
| (He’s full of spirit—you can tell he’s going to make this show a success no matter what.) |
| (It’s a huge difference from the first day, where the audience could clearly see he was exhausted. He’s improved so much during the run of this performance.) |
| |
Izumi | (All that’s left is the last scene....) |
Enomoto | “It’s over... my summer is over....” |
Washimiya | “Well then, I’m headed home with my boyfriend. Nice work~.” |
Inoue | “Hold up, Washimiya. That guy’s married.” |
Washimiya | “Wait. Seriously?” |
Akiyama | “Oh no, Washimiya-san’s gonna get chased around by the Weekly SUMMERy[1]...!” |
Enomoto | “Washimiya-san, you should choose me over an adulterer like him—!” |
Ono | “No, you should choose me!” |
Uehara | “Me too, me too~.” |
Washimiya | “Shut up! I have no time for that right now! I’m seriously gonna get him...!” |
Izumi | (His ad-lib was spot-on too. Amazing... He really pulled through...!) |
Tenma | —Thank you very much! |
Muku | Thank you very much! |
Kazunari | Thanks~! |
Yuki | Thanks. |
|
Kumon | ...—uu. |
Misumi | There, there~. |
Tenma | You’re crying too much. |
Kazunari | Kumopi, you worked so hard! You were really good! |
Muku | Kyu-chan, I’m so glad... |
Yuki | Oh dear~, you both look terrible. |
Tenma | Azami’s gonna yell at you later. |
Kazunari | That’s fine, this is the final performance! |
Misumi | A huge success~! |
| |
Izumi | Nice work! |
Banri | Good job. |
Juza | Well done. |
Kumon | Nii-chan... I.... |
Tenma | You’re gonna cry again? |
Kazunari | Kumopi, your eyes are gonna melt! |
Yuki | So the standby ended up without a role. |
Banri | Well, everything turned out fine. |
Tenma | You really helped us out this time. We’ll return the favor during Autumn Troupe’s performance. |
Banri | We don’t want a situation where we need a standby, though. |
Yuki | True. |
Yamaguchi | —Excuse me. |
Muku | Ah—. |
Kumon | ——. |
| Wh-why.... |
Yamaguchi | That guy—your cousin over there came to school every day to give me a ticket, so I had to take it. |
Kumon | Eh—. |
Muku | I’m sorry for going without asking, Kyu-chan. |
Yamaguchi | To be honest, I’m still mad. |
Kumon | ——. |
Yamaguchi | He told me about your condition. |
| But I can’t forgive you for never coming to me about it—even though we were a battery together. |
| If you’d told me anything, I could have—. |
Kumon | .... |
Yamaguchi | But when I saw you playing baseball on stage, I thought—that’s fine. |
| I remembered how your pitching blew me away when I first joined the baseball club. |
| I loved how you played baseball, and I knew you were working hard. That’s why I couldn’t believe it when you quit so suddenly. |
| I felt like I was betrayed. |
| But—even if you can’t play baseball on the mound, you can keep playing on stage, right? |
| I thought—then that’s fine. |
Kumon | Yamaguchi.... |
Yamaguchi | We’ll... definitely go to the Koshien. So come cheer us on. |
Kumon | Can I really come...? |
Yamaguchi | We can’t go back to being teammates, but... we can be friends again, right? |
Kumon | Yeah! I’ll definitely come cheer you on! |
Yamaguchi | Also, you. Don’t visit me again. From now on I’ll buy my own tickets. |
Muku | —Y-yes. Both of you, I’m sorry for butting in like that. |
Kumon | Not at all! I love you so much, Muku! Thank you! |
Muku | Wah—Ky-Kyu-chan! Ehehe, it hurts[2]. Ahaha...! |
