| Izumi | (It’s finally the day of the party.) |
| *knock* |
| *door opens* |
| Takao | Excuse me. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Hello. |
| Homare | Ohh, grandmother! |
| Everyone, let me introduce her. This is my grandmother. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | It’s nice to meet you. Thank you for always looking after Homare. |
| Izumi | It’s nice to meet you. I’m Tachibana Izumi, the president and general director of Mankai Company. |
| Please excuse me for bringing such a big group over... |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I’ve heard all about it. I’m looking forward to today; I shall be in your care. |
| Izumi | Likewise, we’ll be in your care as well. |
| Homare | Ariel...! You came as well![1] |
| Ariel | ...*humph* |
| Hisoka | ...Didn’t you say you’ve gotten closer? |
| Homare | She is just shy, as she hasn’t seen me for a while. |
| Tenma | I have a feeling that’s definitely not it... |
| Takao | Now then everyone, it’s about time we begin the preparations. |
| Tsumugi | Yes...! |
| |
| Azuma | Even though it’s a party, it’s not too formal at all. The atmosphere is really friendly. |
| Yuki | It still feels posh though. |
| Hisoka | I think it was like this in our training camp last year too. |
| Muku | Now that you mention it, the Winter Troupe put on a performance for celebrity guests in a cottage last year, right? |
| Tenma | Anyway, let’s show them the fruits of our training camp. |
| Kazunari | Right on! |
| Kumon | I’ll do my best...! |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Everyone, Mankai Company have especially come here for today. |
| Now then Mankai Company, please take the stage. |
| *applause* |
| |
| Tsumugi | “We from the Andre family are the genuine nobles. You’re of no match to us.” |
| Tenma | “How foolish; you know nothing of the Barrett family’s history. The Barrett household is a family of high class nobility.” |
| Tasuku | “This is why I cannot deal with people of low birth. The Klauser family shall clearly be the one to gain all power.” |
| Audience A | My, what lovely costumes! |
| Audience B | Oh, how beautiful...! |
| Izumi | (Yup, they all look so glamorous and like real aristocrats when they wear the costumes. It’s just what you’d expect from Yuki-kun!) |
| Hisoka | “It doesn’t seem like a discussion would settle this...” |
| “Why don’t we have a match to determine which household is the most superior?” |
| Muku | “Fine! But of course, we shall have not a vulgar match that uses weapons, but a match with elegant and stylish methods.” |
| “Don’t misunderstand. It’s absolutely not because a match with weapons scares me, not in the least.” |
| Kumon | “That goes without saying; a match using weapons is uncivilized. It’s not because I’m afraid! I’m not afraid at all!” |
| Homare | “An elegant, magnificent, and refined match... In that case, let’s hold a tea-tasting contest!” |
| Kazunari | “How foolish... I start my morning with a cup of tea, and then it’s teatime at 10.” |
| “I drink tea before lunch as a break from work, and then the tea of the day along with my dessert for lunch——” |
| “And then of course, it’s teatime at 3. Then I drink tea as I enjoy the sunset, then before supper, after supper, with my late-night snack, before bed...” |
| “I enjoy 50 cups of tea a day, you see?” |
| Misumi | “That’s way too much...” |
| Izumi | (The Winter Troupe’s graceful acting matches the tempo of the Summer Troupe’s comedy well. Choosing to do an aristocrat comedy was the right thing to do.) |
| Yuki | “Why don’t we have a piano competition today? I shall show you my excellent technique, my rose beauty elegant touch.” |
| Guy | “Then let’s have a match on coordinating beautiful dresses tomorrow! All of you shall be moved to tears by my excellent fashion sense!” |
| Tsumugi | “...No, wait. We have this type of competitions all the time, and frankly they’re too boring. We’re nobles, you know?” |
| “Oh, I know, there’s going to be a nationwide dance competition! Let’s settle this there!” |
| Tenma | “A dance competition?” |
| Hisoka | “Heh, I see. That doesn’t sound bad. I shall accept that proposal!” |
| |
| Homare | “Un, deux, trois!” |
| Azuma | “A graceful turn.” |
| Izumi | (Just like what you’d expect from Homare-san and Azuma-san. Their dance steps are really beautiful!) |
| Misumi | “Not good enough... You must adopt new ideas from time to time. Take a good look at my passionate dance!” |
| Audience A | Huh!? Amazing...! |
| Audience B | Hahaha, I wasn’t expecting a breakdance! |
| Tsumugi | “I won’t lose! I’ll captivate you with my dance steps!” |
| Audience C | Ohh, now it’s tap dance! This is splendid! |
| Izumi | (The audience are highly receptive to the dances they practiced for the revue as well. Dancing with aristocrat costumes produces a great gap.) |
| Tasuku | “*pant, pant*... W-well? Our dance was the most superior, was it not?” |
| Kumon | “No, the Andre family’s dance must have been the best!” |
| Guy | “What do the nationwide results say...!?” |
| All | “A- A draw!?” |
| Tenma | “A draw, you say!? I won’t accept this!” |
| Kazunari | “That’s our line! We are the genuine nobles!” |
| Tsumugi | “...In that case...” |
| All | “We’ll have another match tomorrow!!!” |
| Audience A | Ahaha! |
| Audience B | Bravo! |
| Izumi | (Yup, the guests love it! Our special stage in this party was a great success!) |
