| Tangerine | ...He’s not here either. |
| Izumi | Prince Tangerine. |
| Tangerine | Ah, director. Do you know where Masumi is? I want to thank him for helping me with a lot of things. |
| Izumi | Perfect timing. I was just about to call you, Prince Tangerine. |
| Masumi-kun is currently there. Let’s go. |
| Tangerine | ? All right. |
| |
| Are they practicing? |
| Izumi | Nope, today is our day off. |
| Citron | ——Everyone, we shall tune the instruments. |
| Masumi | ….. |
| Tsuzuru | ….. |
| Sakuya | ….. |
| Tangerine | ——. |
| «Nii-sama, are you playing the——.» |
| Citron | «....I’m sorry for making you uneasy, Tangerine.» |
| «I’m at a lost wondering whether it’s all right for me, who pushed everything onto you, to get close to you as a big brother like I had in the past.» |
| «When I thought that you might hate me, I was scared to face you directly.» |
| «You possess wonderful attributes that I do not have. I know you’ll become the great king that I cannot be.» |
| «I believe that more than anyone else.» |
| Tangerine | «Nii-sama….» |
| Citron | «If the me right now can still give you a comforting push on the back, I want you to receive it.» |
| ….Let’s go. |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| Masumi | Whenever you’re ready. |
| Tsuzuru | Okay. |
| Citron | …. |
| Izumi | (Even in a quartet, you have to be in sync with each other. It’s the same as acting.) |
| (From the first violin Citron-kun, to second violin Masumi-kun, to viola Tsuzuru-kun and to cello Sakuya-kun, they all delivered the sound and melodies.) |
| (With the sound of four instruments blending and overlapping with each other, “spring” is born…) |
| (I now understand why Citron-kun said this song wouldn’t be complete with just one violin.) |
| Tsuzuru | …. |
| Sakuya | ….. |
| Izumi | (Tsuzuru-kun and Sakuya-kun are obviously still far behind Citron-kun in skill, but they look like they’re having fun. They’re in sync.) |
| Masumi | …. |
| Izumi | (Masumi-kun’s performance is impressive. It’s really amazing how much he has improved up till now.) |
| (It’s a gentle and warm sound of “spring” that blends well with Citron-kun’s performance.) |
| Citron | ….. |
| Izumi | (Compared to last time, Citron-kun’s performance is not only beautiful, but is also filled with a pleasant elation. His tone has changed into a happy one.) |
| Citron | ….. |
| Izumi | (The last sound was full of everyone’s feeling blending into the sky, before it disappeared…) |
| Tangerine | ——. |
| «Nii-sama, I really loved your performance, after all!» |
| Citron | «Tangerine, don’t go home just yet. You don’t need to worry about the preparation for the conferment ceremony. I’m sure you can carry it out without fail.» |
| «That’s why I want you to come watch the Spring Troupe play even if it’s just the first day.» |
| «Instead of His Majesty, it’s your job to inspect my work performance as the ministry of art, you know.» |
| Tangerine | «——Yes.» |
| Citron | «Besides, more than anything….» |
| I want my beloved little brother to see his big bro in his moment of glory. Or else, I won’t be able to die and leave things this way. |
| Tangerine | Nii-sama….! |
| Izumi | Thank goodness… It’s the usual Citron-kun. Prince Tangerine looks happy as well. |
| Itaru | Well, well, he’s finally returned to his usual self. |
| Chikage | The Japanese Onii-sans are relieved as well. |
| Tsuzuru | Well, having a quarrel like this is also a proof that they’re brothers. |
| Izumi | Since Prince Tangerine will also go see our play, let’s do our best! |
| Sakuya | That’s right! |
| Masumi | Say, how was my performance? |
| Izumi | It was really good! You were able to deliver the gentle feelings of the song, it was a beautiful performance. |
| Masumi | That’s because I put in a lot of my feelings for you—the feelings that I want to convey to you. |
| When it comes to music, we shouldn’t just follow the score. |
| I heard from Tangerine that it’s important to interpret the song ourselves and express it. |
| I thought it was similar to acting. We can’t just read what’s in the script. It’s important to learn how to express the lines…. |
| Izumi | Yup, you’re right. |
| Masumi | Since the first time I met you, you’ve become the “spring” in my life. Thus, I wanted to express that. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun…. So you thought like that, huh. |
| (So that’s why his tone of “Spring” was that gentle and warm, like it was overlapping with Citron-kun’s performance.) |
| (Masumi-kun wasn’t only performing the song through violin this time, but he also learned the important things to express his interpretation of the song.) |
| (He should be putting that into the play for sure…. I’m looking forward to tomorrow!) |
| |
| Citron-kun, how do you feel now that your first day becoming the leader has arrived? |
| Citron | I’m excited! |
| Izumi | Thank goodness. You don’t look worried at all. |
| Tangerine | «Nii-sama, I will definitely never forget this appearance of yours.» |
| Mika | «I pray for the play’s success for the bottom of my heart.» |
| Citron | Thanks to you two’s support, my motivation is building up! |
| Sakuya | How are we going to form the circle? |
| Citron | I gave it some thought all night yesterday! We’re going with the traditional formation! |
| Masumi | I have a bad feeling about this. |
| Itaru | Same here. |
| Citron | First of all, Itaru, go to the very end and do this! Then, Chikage, go to the other side and do this! |
| Tsuzuru and Masumi go here, and Sakuya, do this! |
| Sakuya | This is….. |
| Chikage | Rangers pose, huh. |
| Itaru | But why….. |
| Citron | I’ll be MANKAI Red! I will not give this position even to Masumi! |
| Masumi | I don’t want it. |
| Citron | MANKAI Rangers are here! Do the pose! |
| Tsuzuru | How sloppy…. |
| Izumi | Ahaha. |
| Citron | Everyone, I’m sorry for worrying you a lot this time. |
| Thank you so much for treating Tangerine with kindness like he’s your own brother, and for believing in me and watching over me. |
| The “spring” in my life is being able to become a family with you guys. |
| I’m grateful to you too, Masumi. |
| Masumi | …. |
| Citron | Masumi is surprisingly a busybody and a kind person, huh. I didn’t think you were this kind of person when we first met. |
| Masumi | I will not help out anymore. |
| Izumi | There, there. |
| Citron | There are still a lot of things we don’t know about each other despite staying together, huh. But I’m sure we’ll get to know each other a lot more in the future. |
| Masumi | …. |
| Citron | I’m sure I will forever cherish everyone more in the future. |
| Shukran[1]..... |
| Izumi | Citron-kun…. |
| Citron | Well then, let’s go! MANKAI Rangers are here! |
| Sakuya | We, We’re here! |
| Chikage | We’re here. |
| Itaru | We’re here. |
| Masumi | *sigh*..... |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, my. |
