Izumi | Ah, they're here! |
Taichi | We made it in time! |
Tsumugi | Sorry for being late. |
Tasuku | You took quite a long time to get here. Did something happen? |
Tsumugi | The truth is—. |
Reni | You're not running away, I see. |
Taichi | Re-Reni-san… |
Tsumugi | To think that you even tried to sabotage us… That is absolutely unforgivable. |
Reni | What are you talking about? |
Izumi | Sabotage? |
Tsumugi | We were surrounded by suspicious men. Banri-kun and Juza-kun helped us… |
Omi | How about those two? |
Taichi | They got away unwounded. They just told me on LIME. |
Azami | I expected no less from them. |
Izumi | Thank goodness… |
Guy | You were fortunate those two were with you. |
Reni | An interruption…? Don't tell me, that man… |
Izumi | Kamikizaka-san, can you explain this to us? Including the plagiarism. |
Reni | It was our blunder. I'm sorry for that. |
Izumi | ...Eh? |
Tsumugi | Blunder…? |
Izumi | (I've never thought he'd sincerely apologize like that… It was really different from last time.) |
Reni | I'll deal with the person who copied your work without permission and issue a formal apology at a later date. Would that be fine with you? |
Izumi | (He doesn't look like he's lying… Not to mention, they apparently changed the script too…) |
| ...Tsumugi-san, Taichi-kun, what do you think? |
Tsumugi | That—well, I wasn't hurt… |
Taichi | Me, me too… |
Izumi | Do you really have nothing to do with that? |
Reni | Yeah. Our upcoming Showdown Act will be a head-on battle. |
| I will show you… a truly beautiful devil. ...Like your father. |
Izumi | Eh? |
| (I didn't catch what he said at the end.) |
Azami | I'm not sure whether I should trust him completely, but we have no time now. Let's do the makeup right away. |
Tasuku | You're right. Let's hurry. |
Tsumugi | Yeap. |
Taichi | … |
Omi | Are you alright, Taichi? |
Taichi | Eh, ah… what is it? |
| I was anxious whether we could make it in time, but no sweat! |
Omi | … |
| |
Announcer | We're about to begin the show. For those who are still in the lobby, please take your seats. |
Banri | ...Maaan, I'm beat. |
Itaru | Why are you sweating so much? |
Sakuya | Come to think of it, you said you went to do a Street Act, right? |
Juza | Nah, some strange hooligans picked a fight with us when we were on our way to the theater with Tsumugi-san and Taichi. |
Sakuya | Eeeh!? |
Sakyo | Which group are they from!? I'll report it to the boss right away… |
Juza | I don't know, though I have no doubt they were working under someone. |
Chikage | How about the opponents? |
Banri | They passed out. |
Chikage | That's good then… |
Yuki | So it's another one of GOD-za's doing. |
Audience A | Group? Boss? |
Audience B | Who are those bunch…? |
Itaru | ...We stand out. |
Tsuzuru | I think we better stay quiet for now. |
Sakyo | Tch… |
| |
Yuki | The toilet is over here. |
Muku | Yes. |
Madoka | … |
Muku | Huh, that person…! |
Yuki | ? |
Muku | I felt like I just saw Madoka-kun. |
Yuki | By Madoka, you mean Triangle Alien's lil bro? |
Muku | Yup! Let's tell him later. |
| |
Kazunari | Mukkun! Yukki! The official guest seats are over here. |
Misumi | Here, here! |
Muku | Misumi-san, I felt like Madoka-kun was in the lobby just now… |
Misumi | Eh, really!? I'm going to find him! |
Tenma | Hey, the show is about to start, alright. |
| |
Misumi | I didn't find him… |
Muku | Did I see it wrong… |
Tenma | Well, there are also VIP seats here. |
Misumi | So it's like a seat that can't be seen by other audiences? |
Tenma | Yeah, others won't be able to see their movements easily too. |
Yuki | But why is Triangle Alien's lil bro in GOD-za Theater anyway? |
Kazunari | Maybe he's interested in the Showdown Act!? |
Tenma | But Misumi isn't among the cast. |
Muku | Yeah, right… |
Misumi | Maybe it's because Father wrote the script. |
Muku | Eh!? |
Kazunari | Does your father write scripts for GOD-za!? |
Misumi | Yup. They've been asking him ever since I was still living at home. |
Tenma | That's such an important piece of info, you know!? You should’ve told us that sooner! |
Misumi | But I don't know the details since Father doesn't talk to me~. |
Kazunari | I see… |
Muku | If Madoka-kun is really here, I hope we can meet him after the show. |
Misumi | Yup. |
| |
Shifuto | … |
Haruto | … |
Madoka | ...It's finally show time. |
Shifuto | I wonder if Reni-san will get angry and stop us. |
Haruto | There's no way he will do such an unsightly act like stopping the play halfway at this sacred theater. |
| I think he'll be livid after the show, though. |
Shifuto | If so, let's just say that Haruto-san was forced to go along with my own selfish request. |
Haruto | Are you stupid? There's no way I'd listen to you. |
| I'm sure Reni-san realizes that much. |
| In the first place, everyone knew I was the one who had taken charge of the sudden changes in our play since yesterday. We couldn't keep it a secret. |
Shifuto | But you may be fired, at worst... |
Haruto | —Shaddap! |
| To tell you the truth, Madoka's script is totally different from the plays that we've been doing up until now. But I honestly think it's good. |
| Everyone, even the behind-the-scenes staff, is supporting us. Though we barely had any time to prepare for the play, we've done everything I could. |
| Even though we barely finished it in time, I'm sure this will be a good play. No one can tell me otherwise even if this play will be our last play. |
| But well, it's a little bit lacking in gorgeousness to be my retirement play. |
Shifuto | ...Haruto-san, you're hella cool. |
Haruto | Did you just realize that? |
| Therefore, make sure to watch it, scriptwriter Madoka Ikaruga's first play. |
Madoka | —Yes! I will never forget your performance. |
Shifuto | BTW, Madoka, just speak casually. We're 15, 19 and 25, right? Thinking about our age gap is such a pain in the butt, so let's just talk casually with each other. |
Haruto | Are ya an idiot!? You should be using honorifics with all of us! |
Madoka | Fufu. Got it. Thanks. |
| It's about time, huh… |
Haruto | Hold on. I feel like throwing up if I have to create a huddle with this guy alone. |
Shifuto | And it's not like we can make a huddle with two people. |
Madoka | Hud...dle…? |
Haruto | Let's do a triangle one since there's only three people here. |
Shifuto | How about the chant? |
Haruto | You do it, you're the temporary top actor, right? |
Shifuto | —Alright, Newborn GOD-za, go! |
Madoka | G-Go! |
Haruto | Don't go putting newborn as you please! |
| |
Reni | How far are you planning to lay this unsightliness open? |
Kusumi | I… I-I… |
Reni | Don’t think I never knew what you did. I already gave you a chance and sympathy, but you wasted them all. |
| I’m going to punish you once this Showdown Act is over. |
Kusumi | —uh. |
Reni | Watch your last play with your own eyes. |
| |
Shifuto | … |
Haruto | … |
Reni | —. |
| (The costumes, the production… everything is different. What are they doing…!?) |
Shifuto | “I wonder if I’m the devil’s child.” |
Reni | —. |
