Izumi | (Alright, another hugely successful performance. Everyone has been steadily improving since the first day.) |
| (I think Azami-kun is getting used to it—he acts natural on stage, and you can tell he’s having fun.) |
Azami | Um, today’s post-performance talk theme is... “food you hate”? |
Sakyo | I know what that is for you. Remember when you were little and you cried after taking a bite? |
Azami | Haah!? I didn’t cry. |
Sakyo | You couldn’t spit it out or gulp it down, so you made this incredible expression and started bawling. |
Azami | Shut up! Don’t tell everyone! |
Banri | Wow, what kinda food makes you react like that? |
Sakyo | Sunomono[1]. |
Omi | Sunomono.... |
Taichi | Now that you mention it, he tried to secretly leave some during dinner the other day! |
Azami | Don’t tell them! |
Audience A | You’re so cute, Azami-kun~! |
Azami | Don’t call me cute! |
Audience B | Ahahaha! |
Azami | This is your damn fault, shithead Sakyo! |
Sakyo | It’s just the truth. |
Audience A | These two are so entertaining. |
Audience B | They’re always playing around. |
Izumi | (The audience is enjoying Sakyo-san and Azami-kun’s arguments as part of their routine. It’s just like them, too—I guess this is good.) |
| |
Large High Schooler | ...Hah, I’m so fucking bored. |
Rough student A | Let’s drive somewhere again! |
Rough student B | I had a lotta fun freaking Izumida Azami out! |
Large High Schooler | Ah, yeah, that. |
Rough student A | I felt so much better! |
Large High Schooler | ...That wasn’t enough. He embarrassed me. I’m gonna beat him for good. |
Audience A | Today’s performance was also so much fun~! |
Audience B | Azami-kun was so cute during the post-performance talk! |
Audience A | I bought another bromide! |
| It came with a detailed profile. Apparently Azami-kun’s last name is Izumida~. |
Large High Schooler | Izumida...? |
| Oi, show me that picture! |
Audience A | ——. |
Large High Schooler | This guy.... |
Rough student A | This thing says MANKAI Company. |
Rough student B | That guy was in a theater troupe? That’s hilarious. |
Audience A | U-umm...? |
Large High Schooler | The son of a yakuza is an actor? I’ll make him regret putting me to shame. |
| I’m going to totally ruin his show.... |
| |
Azami | .... |
Izumi | What’s wrong, Azami-kun? |
Azami | No, I was wondering if we still have some time. |
Izumi | We only have one showing today —the final performance, so you can take it easy. |
Azami | ...Yeah. |
| Sitting still makes me antsy, so I’m gonna head to the convenience store for a bit. |
Izumi | See you later. |
| *Door closes* |
| (I thought he had gotten used to being on stage, but I guess the final performance is making him nervous.) |
| (The performances are steadily improving—maybe that’s why he wants to put on his best act for the final show....) |
| (He isn’t just trying to get by—he wants to stay responsible till the very end.) |
| (It means Azami-kun has gotten that serious about theater.) |
| (I hope everyone can put on their greatest performance for the final show....) |
Sakyo | Sakoda. Stick to bon. |
Sakoda | To the convenience store? |
Sakyo | I don’t want him to cause us trouble by almost getting run over again. |
Sakoda | Yessir! I’m off! |
Banri | You’re overprotective. |
Taichi | You must’ve always been like that. |
Sakyo | Shut the hell up. |
| |
Azami | ——. |
Sakoda | Ah, there he is. Azami—. |
Azami | Let me go! |
Large High Schooler | Shut up! |
Rough student A | Close the door! |
Sakoda | Azami!? |
Azami | Ken-san—! |
Large High Schooler | Oi, start driving! |
Sakoda | Oi! Wait up—! |
| *Car drives off* |
| —gh. |
| S-seriously? This is bad. I need to tell aniki and the chairman—but at this rate, I’m gonna lose track of them—. |
| —That’s right! |
| *Runs off* |
| Let’s go, aniki-gou! Wait for me, Azami! I’ll save you! |
