| Madoka | Yes, yes… For the specific… |
| Kusumi | “Just fix them as I say!” |
| Madoka | I’m sorry… Understood. |
| Kusumi | “I will correct your work again before I send it to them, so don’t worry about trivial things.” |
| Madoka | ...Yes. |
| …*sighs* |
| Masumi | … |
| Madoka | (He’s looking at the manuscript…?) |
| —Don’t look at others’ belongings without asking. |
| Masumi | Do you have any siblings? |
| Madoka | Huh? |
| Masumi | Siblings. |
| Madoka | It’s none of your business. |
| Masumi | Just answer my question. |
| Madoka | ...I don’t have any. |
| Masumi | … |
| Madoka | Do you—. |
| ??? | Found him! The rumored freshman! You’re Masumi Usui, right? |
| Masumi | ? |
| ??? | Huh, Ikaruga-kun? |
| Masumi | Ikaruga? |
| Madoka | Fukunaga-senpai… |
| Fukunaga | Good timing! Can you two come with me? |
| Madoka | Eh, hold—. |
| Masumi | What—. |
| |
| Fukunaga | Sorry it’s so messy here! I’ve been thinking of cleaning it up but I don’t have anyone to help. |
| Madoka | So you still haven’t found any new club members? |
| Fukunaga | Man, the only thing increasing here is the number of ghost members. Back in the day we used to be so active, though. A lot of our alumni also joined popular theater troupes. |
| One of them even became the top actor of GOD-za—. |
| Masumi | So, what do you want? |
| Fukunaga | Oops, sorry sorry. Say, can you join our play at the upcoming campus festival? |
| The only thing we do now is prepare for the play at the campus festival. I want to deliver a complete play since our alumni will come to watch! |
| I’m one hundred percent sure the play will be a success if you Masumi Usui, our handsome freshman who belongs to a troupe in Veludo Way, join! |
| Masumi | ...I refuse. |
| Fukunaga | Eeeh! |
| Madoka | Can I go as well? |
| Fukunaga | Hold on, hold on! Madoka-kun, I want to ask you to write a script for us just like last year! |
| Madoka | But the script from last year was merely a practice piece that I didn’t plan to turn in anywhere… |
| I have to write a script for another matter right now so I can’t write one for the club. |
| Fukunaga | Maaan, your script was so interesting it was heavily praised by our alumni! I look forward to what you’re gonna write this year~! |
| Madoka | As I said… |
| Masumi | I knew it. You’re writing a script. |
| Madoka | So what? |
| Masumi | Nothing. I just thought you looked really bored while writing. |
| Madoka | ...Eh? |
| Masumi | The guy I know seems to be having so much fun writing. |
| Madoka | —. |
| Even I—. |
| Masumi | What? |
| Madoka | … |
| Fukunaga | Anyway, I’m asking you a favor! Please? |
| Madoka | ...I will consider it. |
| Masumi | Not interested. |
| Fukunaga | Pleeeeease~! |
| Masumi | What a pain… |
| |
| … |
| Misumi | I wonder if a triangular moon is gonna come out today~. |
| Masumi | ...Hey. |
| Misumi | ? Did you call me? |
| Masumi | Do you have any siblings? |
| Misumi | Yeap. |
| Masumi | I saw a guy named Ikaruga writing a script at campus. |
| Misumi | Eh!? How does he look? |
| Masumi | His hair is like this… He’s calmer than you and speaks politely… |
| Misumi | That’s Madoka! He’s my lil brother! |
| Masumi | But that guy said he doesn’t have any siblings. |
| Misumi | ...I see. |
| You know, I’ve been told not to come near home and my father treats me like I’m invisible... |
| So it can’t be helped that Madoka has to lie about not having any siblings. |
| Masumi | ...But he seemed uneasy when lying. Maybe your brother actually cares about you. |
| Misumi | ...Is that so? I hope it’s true. |
| Masumi is so kind! I’ll give you the triangle I found just now! |
| Masumi | ...Don’t need it. |
| Misumi | Eeeh~! |
| |
| Shifuto | Reni-san, I’m here—huh? Reni-san! |
| Reni | I’m here. Walk slowly to the left part of the stage from there. |
| Shifuto | Huh? |
| Reni | Stop there. |
| Shifuto | ? |
| Reni | —Just as I expected, my judgement isn’t wrong. |
| That place will be yours from now on. |
| Shifuto | You mean, the center? |
| Reni | Not only is your acting impressive, but there’s also a flower in it. You’re worthy of becoming the center of GOD-za. |
| Shifuto | Oh, yeah, thank you. |
| Reni | There’s only one person who can be the top actor of GOD-za, and that person should be able to make all the audience fascinated by their beauty simply by standing on an empty stage. |
| Someone whose line deliveries, gestures, and everything are harmonious and beautiful is worthy to be the center. |
| However, it’s impossible for you to do it all by yourself. Follow my instructions. Be a doll on the stage. |
| Shifuto | So who was the previous—ah, no. Got it. |
| … |
| |
| … |
| Haruto | Hey. |
| Shifuto | Huh? Oh hey, Haruto-san. Good work today. |
| Haruto | When are you going to withdraw from the top actor position? |
| Shifuto | Huh? Ahaha, what do you mean? You’re joking, right? |
| Haruto | I’m not joking! You’ve realized it, haven’t you? Someone like you isn’t fit to be—. |
| Shifuto | You sure are funny, Haruto-san. Wanna grab croquette udon with me? |
| Haruto | Listen carefully to what people say! |
| Shifuto | I took someone there the other day and he praised—. |
| Madoka | Uhh, are you from GOD-za? |
| Shifuto | ? |
| Haruto | Who are you? |
| Madoka | I want to meet Kamikizaka-san. |
| Haruto | You should contact the secretariat first. |
| Shifuto | Reni-san? He’s still inside the theater. |
| Haruto | Hey! Don’t let a stranger pass! |
| Shifuto | But he may be an acquaintance. Why don’t we ask Reni-san first for now? |
| Haruto | Don’t even try it. He’s in a bad mood now; you’ll only get scolded. |
| Shifuto | Eh, is that so? |
| Haruto | You seriously don’t realize it? You’re too dense. Didn’t you notice the atmosphere during rehearsal was the worst? The script is late, the quality is bad, even the support—. |
| Madoka | —. |
| Haruto | Oh, dang—anyway! Just go home. |
| Madoka | I apologize—! |
| Haruto | Hah? |
| Madoka | You’re right… Even though the actors have to rehearse and go on with the production, the script isn't finished yet... |
| Shifuto | Do you perhaps have some--. |
| Madoka | Ah! I-It’s nothing! Please excuse me! |
| Shifuto | Hey, wait! You want to meet Reni-san, don’t you? I’m all ears. Maybe I can help you with that. |
| Madoka | Eh—. |
| Shifuto | Shall we go to my home for now? |
| Haruto | What are you saying so lightly like that!? Stop it! |
| Shifuto | Please come with us if you’re worried, Haruto-san. |
| Haruto | You—! |
