Misumi | Welcome back~! |
Kazunari | Otsupico~! |
Citron | I’m home! |
Muku | Citron-sama...! Welcome back! |
Azami | Oh, congrats on the return. |
Kumon | Welcome back! |
Sakyo | Geez. You caused us so much trouble. |
Izumi | We’re home, everyone! |
Kazunari | Then we need to have a welcome back party for Ronron! |
Omi | Alright, time to put some spirit into these preparations. |
Juza | Yeah. |
Taichi | I’ll help out too! |
| |
Guy | ——. |
Tsumugi | Ah, you came to take a look too, Guy-san? |
Guy | Looks like we had the same thing in mind. |
Tsumugi | Please look. |
Guy | —A red flower, huh. |
Tsumugi | It’s a ranunculus. |
Guy | It’s beautiful. I’m sure Citronia would be happy to see it. |
| ...How strange. Before, I didn’t feel a thing when I looked at flowers like this. But now, it looks so beautiful; it feels so precious. |
Tsumugi | ...“You are full of charm.” |
Guy | Hm? |
Tsumugi | It’s what the red ranunculus means in the language of flowers. |
| Just like the charm of the flower that went unnoticed, you managed to awaken the charm of the rich emotions sleeping in your heart, Guy-san. |
| I’m sure that even more charm will blossom from now on. |
Guy | You’re right.... |
Tsumugi | ...But we ran into trouble again. |
| I don’t have any regrets about our performance, but I didn’t expect the chandelier to actually come crashing down. |
Guy | We’re going to have a rerun someday, right? We can challenge ourselves again then. |
Tsumugi | Well, yes, but... Wait, does that mean you’re staying in Winter Troupe? |
Guy | Of course. Why do you think I came back? I won’t give the Phantom role up to anyone. |
Tsumugi | I thought you returned as Citron-kun’s servant.... |
Guy | I’m no longer Citronia’s servant. I’m just his friend. |
| I want to act again. I want to experience that moment where my heart trembles, and emotions well up from the my very core, forever. |
Tsumugi | Fufu. You’re a fine member of the theater freak crew now, Guy-san. |
Guy | It’s an honor. Plus, I still have so much more to learn about you, Tsukioka. |
Tsumugi | Let’s learn even more about each other from now on. Upon the stage. |
| |
Izumi | Erm, let’s begin Citron-kun’s welcome-back and Guy-san’s official-troupe-joining party! |
| First, I’d like to ask Citron-kun and Guy-san to each give us a word! |
Guy | Then I’ll speak first. |
| When I first learned that Citronia had been acting in this troupe, I was surprised. |
| I simply could not make the connection between Citronia and acting. |
| But after spending time as a troupe member myself and standing on stage, I now understand. |
| The freedom, the feeling of unity, the sense of accomplishment. And the warmth of my troupemates.... |
| Those must have all become precious treasures to Citronia. |
| By the time I realized that, they had become irreplaceable treasures to me as well. |
| I’d like to stand on stage with everyone from now on as well. So once again, please take care of me. |
Tsumugi | The same goes for us. |
Tasuku | We need to give the Phantom of the Opera another go. |
Homare | Please take care of us! |
Izumi | Next, Citron-kun! |
Citron | Everyone, I’m really sorry for causing trouble and making you worry. I thought I could never come back. |
| Even after I returned to Zahra Kingdom, every time I thought about everyone here and the time I spent here, I felt lonely. |
| When I saw Winter Troupe’s performance, I was surprised, and then I thought, I really want to stand on stage with you all. |
| I knew I had to fulfill my role as king, but I couldn’t contain my true feelings.... |
| I want to stand on stage with everyone forever. So please take care of me from now on as well! |
Tsuzuru | The same goes for us. |
Itaru | You’re not allowed to disappear. |
Chikage | Let’s get along. |
Masumi | ...Let’s get along. |
Sakuya | Your last scroll will be in effect forever now! |
Citron | Thank you! |
Izumi | Then let’s celebrate Citron-kun’s return and Guy-san’s official troupe membership with... cheers! |
Sakuya | Cheers! |
Guy | Cheers. |
Citron | Cheers~! |
Taichi | Welcome back, Citron! |
Juza | Guy-san, congratulations on joining the troupe. |
Tenma | Let’s get along from now on as well. |
| |
Izumi | But this performance was really the roughest one yet. |
Itaru | There was too much serious stuff going on outside of the performance. |
Izumi | Tsuzuru-kun, is your older brother still in Zahra Kingdom? |
Tsuzuru | No, it looks like he’s moved on to the next country already. |
Itaru | That’s some light footwork. |
Omi | How was the food in Zahra Kingdom? |
Izumi | It was overall pretty spicy and delicious. |
Chikage | Oh, right, we were invited to the Royal Palace on the last day, and the food there was the absolute best. |
Omi | Huh. I want to figure out how to recreate it, so please teach me again. |
Chikage | I bought tons of spices, so you can use those. |
Omi | Of course you’re fully prepared. |
Tsumugi | Sakuya-kun did a really great job. You really embodied “show must go on!” |
Tasuku | Sakuma’s line was what calmed the audience, after all. |
Azuma | If everyone had rushed to the exit in that chaos, we would’ve had some injuries. |
Homare | It’s thanks to you, Sakuya-kun. |
Sakuya | No... I just remembered the actors from the troupe I admired, and.... |
Tsumugi | Ah, the troupe you told me about on the plane. |
Tasuku | Do you have any hints as to—. |
Manager | Everyone, look at the TV! |
Izumi | Hm? |
MC | “It’s finally time to announce the winner of the Fleur Award! Amadate-san from the Veludo Theater Association is our presentator!” |
Amadate | “...I will now announce the winner.” |
Yuki | I wonder which theater troupe it’s going to be. |
Kazunari | Ah, I just saw the GOD-za person. |
Guy | ...I really think I’ve seen that man named Reni before, a long time ago.... |
Izumi | When you were a child? |
Azuma | But where...? |
Amadate | “This year’s Fleur Award goes to... ‘Hyakka Theatre Company[1]!’” |
Troupe member A | “Woah!” |
MC | “...Congratulations to the members of ‘Hyakka Theatre Company!’” |
Sakuya | Ah! It’s that troupe!! |
Izumi | Eh!? |
Tsumugi | So that’s the troupe you saw during the art appreciation ceremony at school...? |
Sakuya | Yes! I’m sure of it! |
Tasuku | Hyakka Theatre Company is one of those troupes who are regularly nominated for the Fleur Award. |
Izumi | They’ve won before, right.... |
Tsumugi | If I remember correctly, that troupe’s mission is the prosperity of the theater world as a whole; they often make trips to visit schools. |
| Looks like getting tickets will be hard, but we should go watch them together. |
Sakuya | Yes! |
