Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Alright, shall we start the Winter troupe’s fourth play’s talk show meeting?
Tsumugi	Let’s think up things we want to talk about while remembering those days.
Homare	Umu… Then if we’re remembering those days,
	How about we do a daily musical here right now!
Azuma	A daily musical, huh?
	Come to think of it, we did those as role-making.
Tasuku	Or rather, Arisugawa just wants to do one, doesn’t he?
Guy	But didn’t Rurikawa enact a ban against daily musicals?
Hisoka	…If he finds out, he’ll definitely get angry.
Homare	Mumumu…
Izumi	Umm, is there anything really memorable that Guy-san wants to talk about?
Guy	Let’s see, I remember well that we did those daily musicals...
	After that, I remember we went to karaoke as well.
Tsumugi	Right, we went to karaoke. How nostalgic.
Homare	Ohh! Well in that case, Guy-san should sing that song he sung for us at karaoke on the stage of the talk show—.
Tasuku	We're saying it's a talk show though.
Hisoka	…If they listen to that, everyone will sleep.
Azuma	I think it would be interesting if Guy sings for us,
	But it’s true it seems we’ll fall asleep.
Guy	I don’t particularly mind singing either.
Homare	Guy-san says so too, so isn’t it alright?
Izumi	No, since it’s a talk show!
	Haa, at that rate this was about to turn into a karaoke contest…
Tsumugi	Ahaha… When I recall back to that day, it inadvertently drifted off that way, huh?
Guy	Sorry about that, Director.
Azuma	Fufu, a karaoke contest in front of the audience also seems like it’d be interesting though.
Homare	I’m fine with even a karaoke contest though?
Izumi	No, no…!
	Anyways it’s about time, so please get ready!
Azuma	Speaking of memorable aspects of this show,
	It has to be that we performed the show in Zahra, right?
Guy	Right, that’s true.
Homare	Umu…
	Is there anyone here that came to the show in Zahra?
Audience member A	Yes.
Audience member B	Yes—.
Tsumugi	Ehh, really!?
Homare	Oh my…!
	Thank you, we’re very delighted.
Azuma	Then maybe I’ll try asking the other way around.
	Is there anyone from Zahra that came here today?
Audience member C	Ye…Yes.
Tsumugi	Wow! Welcome, to that one person…!
	Excuse me, is it alright if we hear from you for a bit?
Guy	I will interpret.
Audience member C	《I watched Winter troupe’s show in Zahra and became Winter troupe’s fan.
	Now I’m currently studying Japanese!》
Guy	—is what they said.
	I’m happy that our show has triggered your interest in Japan.
Azuma	Yes, that’s right.
	Thank you, we’ll work hard from now on as well so we’ll be glad if you support us.
Homare	That reminds me, when Spring troupe and Winter troupe went together to Zahra, we couldn’t do very much sightseeing but…
	Guy-san, here, do you have any recommended places for sightseeing?
Guy	Yes. The restaurant everyone in Spring troupe and Winter troupe had a meal at is a good shop, and I also recommend the Zahran jasmine fields.
	As well, there are many specialty spice shops.
Azuma	There’s something for everyone to enjoy, huh?
Tsumugi	It’d be nice if we could hold a show in Zahra again one day.
Guy	Yes, that's true.

Izumi	Good job on the talk show. It was surprising that there really was someone who came from Zahra, right!
Tsumugi	I was really surprised.
	But I’m really happy.
Homare	They wanted to watch Winter troupe’s show again so they came to Japan.
Guy	I understood there were people in my home country who supported us as well,
	So from now on, I must work even harder.
Azuma	Fufu, right.
Izumi	Alright Guy-san, please let me take a polaroid photo.
Guy	Yes, it’s for the planned present that Sakyo was talking about, right?
	Please go ahead.
Izumi	So I took a few, but which one would be good?
Guy	As for myself, I don’t really know…
Tsumugi	Ah, I think this one is nice.
Homare	Ohh, I think that one is great as well.
Azuma	Yes, me too.
	Fufu, everyone thinks so, hm?
Izumi	Yeah, his natural smiling face is nice, right?
Guy	Thank you.
	If everyone says so, then let’s go with this.
???	♪~♪~…
Izumi	(I can hear a singing voice from far away…)
	…? Here is…
	(Where in the world is this?
	Somehow I also feel like I recognize this place…)
	That singing voice I heard just a moment ago…
???	♪~♪~
Izumi	(Guy-san is sitting on the stairs and singing.
	No, but the costume is the Phantom’s.)
	(Lately, I often dream about everyone’s lead roles…
	This person singing, it’s definitely not Guy-san, but the Phantom.)
Phantom	♪~♪~
Izumi	(It’s a lovely singing voice…)
Phantom	…
	…How long are you planning on lying around in a place like that?
Izumi	! S-sorry…
	But it was a lovely song.
Phantom	…No need for flattery.
Izumi	(Ahaha… He told Chris the same thing too.)
	Why were you singing here?
Phantom	…
Izumi	(…Hm? Just now, his gaze turned for a moment?)
Phantom	There’s no special reason.
Izumi	(His glance just now, it looked meaningful though…
	“How long will you be lying around,” he said—)
	Could it be you were waiting for me to wake up, or something…
Phantom	…
	It's time for me to go.
Izumi	Eh, wait a minute…!
	(He left.
	Could it be that I hit the mark…?)
	…!
	(It was a dream after all, huh…)
	It looks like I fell asleep before I realized when I was organizing these documents.
Guy	Director, you woke up?
Izumi	Ah, Guy-san.
	That blanket is…
Guy	I found Director asleep here, so I brought it over.
Izumi	So that’s what happened…!
	Thank you very much.
	Sorry, it looks like I took a nap while I was organizing documents.
Guy	I see.
	Have you finished organizing them? If not yet, I will help.
Izumi	Ehh, is it alright…!
Guy	Yes, no problem.
Izumi	Thank you very much!
	That’s a huge help.
CHOICE 1: If Guy-san is here, we've got the strength of 100 men! [+] Izumi If Guy-san is here, we’ve got the strength of 100 men! Guy Spending 100 yen? Do you mean we'll go to the 100-yen shop? Izumi No no, it’s strength of 100 men. Guy-san is both quick and fast at organizing documents, And is very reassuring and reliable too. Guy Is that so. If I am useful to Director, then that’s better than anything. Speaking of shops, I remembered the other day you were also saying you will go buy some equipment, right? If you’re alright with me, I will accompany you. Izumi Sorry, you’re helping with everything from top to bottom. But I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ah, then on the way home, how about we stop by the dango shop? Their new products seem tasty, and I was curious about them! Guy Sure, of course I don’t mind. A detour with Director… That’s a perk. I’m really looking forward to it.
CHOICE 2: I'll do something as a thank you next time. [+] Izumi For bringing a blanket and even going all the way to help me… Really, thank you very much. I’ll do something as a thank you next time. Guy No, it’s not a big deal, and I’m just doing as I like. No need for thanks. …is what I thought but… I have a favour I want to ask of Director. Izumi What is it? Guy I was thinking that I want to go to the fishing pond again with Director. If it’s alright, won’t you accompany me as well when you have time? Izumi Something like that, I’ll accompany you any time even if it's not as a thank you. Since fishing with Guy-san is really fun for me too. Guy I see. I’m glad if you say so. The time I spend with Director is comfortable for me too.
Izumi	(Maybe it’s because I experienced the Phantom’s coolness, and his hard-to-understand kindness in my dream just now…)
	(I feel relieved at the usual Guy-san’s kindness.)
Guy	? Director, what’s wrong?
Izumi	Fufu, it's nothing.
