Izumi | I’ll turn off the lighting for a moment. |
Tsumugi | Sakuya-kun, could you try checking from the middle? |
Sakuya | Yes! |
Hisoka | ...It might be better if we keep the lighting. |
Tasuku | I want to change our movements here a little. |
Homare | The stage is big, so our gestures end up looking smaller. |
Tasuku | The directions we had were best for MANKAI Theater, but. |
Tsumugi | We talked for a long time before deciding on them. This brings back memories. |
Azuma | Our debut performance was pretty long ago, after all. |
Izumi | Let’s adjust till the last moment. |
Tsumugi | Yes. |
Guy | .... |
| |
Izumi | Here’s hoping tomorrow’s performance is a success—cheers! |
Homare | Cheers! |
Tasuku | Cheers. |
Waitress | Thank you for waiting~. Cochin kara-age, miso katsu, miso paste udon, curry kishimen, dote-ni, tenpura rice ball[1]. |
Tsumugi | Will that all fit on the table...? |
Tsuzuru | Who ordered this much? |
Citron | It’s me! This is Itaru’s toast, so don’t be shy and eat up! |
Itaru | You mean treat. |
Masumi | You only got the “T”s right. |
Citron | Oh, that’s because I mixed it up with Ogura toast[2]. Excuse me, please add some Ogura toast with a heaping of red bean paste to our order for dessert. |
Guy | Citronia, if you eat that, you’ll be consuming 1.5 times the recommended calorie intake for adult males. |
Izumi | Th-that much...!? |
Citron | It’s fine once in a while. Don’t be so inflexible. |
Masumi | Please add some raw spring rolls, too. |
Chikage | Taiwan ramen, too. |
Waitress | Understood~. |
Izumi | You’re ordering more!? |
Itaru | Well, it’s Citron’s wish, so it’s fine. |
Azuma | Then I guess I’ll order some local sake and wine. |
Itaru | Please don’t go overboard.... |
Hisoka | ...Omnom. |
Chikage | Hisoka, you came all the way here. You should have some local specialties too. |
Homare | No worries. Hisoka-kun has these. |
Chikage | Miso katsu flavored marshmallows...? |
Homare | It’s a limited regional product. |
Azuma | As expected of Hisoka’s marshmallow supplier. You’re always ready. |
Hisoka | ...They’re gross. Marshmallows don’t go with miso katsu. |
Chikage | That’s not surprising. |
Homare | What are you saying! I went out and bought these. |
Hisoka | ...Then you should eat them, Alice. |
Homare | Muh. |
Izumi | Once we’re done with these local performances, we need to start preparing for Winter Troupe’s fourth performance, too. |
Tsuzuru | You’re right~. Some of it depends on who our new troupe member is, but I need to come up with a couple of ideas.... |
Tsumugi | A performance that could make use of Azami-kun’s makeup would be nice. |
Itaru | A Winter Troupe Visual kei band? That’s new. |
Tsuzuru | Why do we always come back to Visual kei. |
Tasuku | If we’re going to make use of makeup, it’s probably better if it doesn’t take place in modern-day. |
Izumi | If the costumes are showy, we’ll need a fair amount of makeup, after all. |
Azuma | A historical play, then? |
Citron | A period drama would be good! |
Chikage | Everyone in a chonmage[3], huh... |
Tsuzuru | No, I don’t think samurai need much makeup. |
Itaru | Then... how about an oiran? |
Sakuya | I think that would suit Azuma-san. |
Azuma | Really? |
Homare | We could attempt a European style, too. |
Tsumugi | That would make the costumes more showy. |
Masumi | Like the Phantom of the Opera? |
Azuma | Ah, that would be perfect for the stage. |
Tasuku | We performed that at GOD-za. |
Tsuzuru | I guess it’d be boring if you’ve done it before? |
Tasuku | No, Kamikizaka-san and I disagreed on how to interpret the role, so I didn’t get to perform to my full satisfaction. That’s why I want to try again. |
Tsuzuru | Then I’ll do some research when I get back and come up with some ideas. |
Izumi | We need to start accepting applications for our new member, too. |
Tsumugi | I hope we find someone good. |
| |
Izumi | Then let’s meet tomorrow at 8AM in the lobby. Be careful not to oversleep. |
Tsuzuru | Ah, Director. Should we put in a reservation for dinner tomorrow? |
Izumi | Ah, that’s right—. |
Azuma | Sorry, I’ll be busy tomorrow night. |
| I need to buy all sorts of gifts for an old favorite customer who took good care of me. |
Tsumugi | Will you be eating dinner on your own? |
Azuma | Yes. I’ll get something to eat alone. |
Sakuya | Ah, I can help you carry your things? |
Homare | I’d like to go gift-shopping too. |
Azuma | I won’t have much luggage, and it’s a bit of special store, so I’ll have to decline. |
Sakuya | S-special? |
Citron | It’s a shady store! |
Azuma | Fufu, I’ll keep the details a secret. |
Tasuku | .... |
| |
|
Azuma | .... |
Guy | I went ahead and showered first. |
Azuma | Ah, yes. |
| .... |
Guy | ...What is it? |
Azuma | You’re waterproof, Android-san? |
Guy | I use plastic to protect areas that need to stay dry. |
Azuma | Huh, is that a shampoo hat? Fufu, I see. |
| I guess I’ll go shower too. |
Guy | ...Those keys. Are they bothering you? |
Azuma | No, I was just thinking about how old they’ve gotten. |
Guy | .... |
