Part 1Part 2

Yuki	Huh, isn’t it Banri?
	Coming home from uni?
Banri	Yeah. Wait, that’s a lotta bags you got there.
	You’re out shoppin’?
Yuki	They’re materials for the costumes for this time’s “Festival of the Dead”.
	There were a few missing items, so I bought some additional stuff.
Banri	That amount ain’t an "additional purchase"…
	I’ll carry that load of fabric over there, so give it here.
Yuki	They’re the costumes we’ll use at the Theatre so that’s just expected.
Banri	Geez, I’ve got no choice, eh?
Yuki	Thanks.
Banri	Are the preparations for the stage goin’ smoothly?
Yuki	As far as I’ve seen from the rehearsal hall the other day, aren't they going well?
	The useless actor, Tsumugi and the money-grubbing yakuza are there, so it looks like they’re practising seriously too.
Banri	If you think about it, it’s full of experienced guys, huh?
	The one who ended up as the lead is Masumi, so I guess there’s no need to worry.
Yuki	It also feels like I can make the main costumes and then just do some fine adjustments.
Banri	Azami’s the one doin’ hair n’ makeup?
	The dead guys’ makeup is different from our zombies from before, right?
Yuki	…Well yeah.
	If you’re curious, what if you try taking a peek at the rehearsal hall?
Banri	?
	Somehow I’ve got a bad feelin’ about what Yuki said before…
	…But it’s just hair and makeup, so it’s fine, right?
	Good wo~rk.
Izumi	Huh, Banri-kun.
Tsumugi	Welcome back.
Itaru	GJ.
Banri	!
Azuma	Fufu, surprised?
	Azami just happened to do our makeup for us.
Kazunari	It’s super fab, right!
	It’s totally legit and hyped up with just the makeup!
Sakyo	Don’t get too excited. It’ll be ruined if y'all fail to act so you don’t lose to the makeup that makes your facial expressions harder to see.
Azami	Oi, shitty Sakyo, quit yappin’.
	Your makeup'll off.
Sakyo	…
Banri	I was surprised at first, but won’t it look great when it’s paired with the costumes?
Azami	I’m still in the middle of adjusting it though.
	I gotta try doin’ it a bit more.
Itaru	Wait, really? Even though the quality is this high?
Azami	I wanna try somethin’ that has a little more impact but…
	I don’t have enough faces.
Banri	The member that’s appearing on stage later but isn’t here is… Taichi, huh.
	Won’t he be comin’ home in a bit?
Izumi	Taichi-kun said he has supplementary lessons, so it looks like he’ll be late today.
Azami	I wanna compare the face with the other guys’, so that’s why I wanna do it now…
	Someone that has a face I can use… Ah.
Banri	…The hell is it?
Azami	Banri-san, won’t you lend me your face?
Banri	HAA!? It seems ridiculously annoying to wash off so I’ll pass.
	‘Sides, I’m not a cast member so it’d be pointless.
Azami	That’s irrelevant. Well, If Banri-san doesn’t do it then I’ll have to get Director to lend her face instead.
Banri	…
Masumi	Banri, do it.
Tsumugi	Making Director do this makeup is kind of…
Izumi	Sorry, Banri-kun! As expected, I won’t be able to go shopping for dinner with the skeleton makeup on so… Is it ok if I ask you for this?
Banri	Haa… I got it. It's fine if I do it, alright?
Azami	That helps.
Banri	I knew I had a bad feeling; so it was this, huh?
	I should trust my instincts...

Azami	Alright, Banri-san, close your eyes.
	It’ll shift if you move and I’ll have to start all over again, so stay still ‘til I say it’s ok.
Banri	‘Kay, ‘kay.
Izumi	What are you trying to do this time?
Azami	Here I’ll, like this…
Kazunari	Oh—! You’re gonna do that much!?
Azami	Yeah, I wanna make it even flashier.
	So that’s why…
Azuma	Fufu, Azami, that’s a bold move.
Tenma	I’m not so sure about that…
Azami	If I do this much, it’ll also be powerful.
	‘Cept… It’s lackin’ punch, huh?
Banri	Adding punch ain’t necessary.
Azami	Stay still.
Banri	Geez…
Azami	…Should I add horns?
Banri	HAA!?
	The hell’s with horns on a skeleton!?
Tsumugi	A skeleton with horns… Isn’t that a demon?
Itaru	Sweet, a collab with a different species. That’ll def go down well.
Sakyo	This ain’t a game, got it?
Banri	Geez, what’s happening to my face…
Azami	After’s just the finishing touches so it’s ok to open your eyes now, Banri-san.
Banri	Yea.
Azami	Adjust around your eyes and…
	Alright, it’s done.
Tsumugi	This is…
Tenma	No matter how you think of it, this is overkill…
Sakyo	Isn’t it fine?
	If it’s not this powerful, it won’t look good on stage, y’know?
Itaru	This is a level that’ll make children cry.
Banri	Ha? Seriously, just how did it turn out?
Azuma	Fufu, you’ll be shocked.
	Here, a mirror.
Banri	!?
	Ain't this a monster!
Itaru	Pfff… Noo, it’s the best.
Tenma	I thought it was too creepy but…
	I-it’s surprisingly not bad, huh?
Banri	Oi, aren’t you two laughin’ your asses off!
Tsumugi	I-I think it’s great—that makeup.
	It’s really powerful.
Banri	…What do you think, Director-chan?
CHOICE 1: I think it’s really great! [+] Izumi I think it’s really scary and great! Banri Your face is twitching a little. Izumi Ahahaha… But it’s true that I think it’s nice and powerful. Banri It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it… Well, it’s true that this much might be good if it’s for the stage. —Is what I say, but why am I the one who…
CHOICE 2: It might be good it was even a little bit flashier… [+] Izumi It might be good if it was even a little bit flashier… Banri Haa!? There’s nothin’ more than this. Izumi Is that so? I think if it’s Banri-kun, then it’d suit you though. Banri Even if you tell me it’d suit me…
Kazunari	Ahh! Since we’re all dolled up, let’s take a pic with everyone!
Sakyo	Let’s upload it onto the company blog next time.
Banri	HAA!? Don’t screw with m—.
Taichi	I’m late—!
Izumi	Ah, Taichi-kun, welcome back.
Azuma	Good job at supplementary lessons.
Taichi	Huh, uwahh! W-what’s all this!?
Kazunari	Azamin did some test makeup for us ♪
	How’s it, how’s it? Does it suit us?
Taichi	Everyone’s so cool!
	How nice, I wanted to do it too~!!
Banri	…
Taichi	Huh, Ban-chan? What are you doing here?
	Err, rather, why is your face covered—.
Banri	WHOSE FRIGGIN’ FAULT DO YOU THINK THIS IS!
Taichi	GYAHH—! IT'S A MONSTER—!
