| Tsumugi | Your high school life really was just like a school drama, Banri-kun. Azumi-sensei was the sort of teacher who'd appear in a drama too...... |
| Banri | Well, I'm glad I caught the eye of a person like that. |
| Tsumugi | Besides, he resembles Shinbashi from the play this time a bit too. |
| The reason Shinbashi was reformed in his high school days was the student teacher Futami......That's how the story goes. |
| Itaru | That's true. |
| Banri | Right. |
| Tsumugi | In Tsuzuru-kun's way, maybe he was tailoring the roles to us a bit. |
| Banri | I haven't spoken to Tsuzuru about my high school period in detail, though. |
| Itaru | No, that guy's people-watching power as a writer is incredible. He gives me chills sometimes. |
| Tsumugi | Even if you don't say anything, there are times when he sees through you completely, aren't there. |
| Itaru | And he's good at turning that into a script, too. |
| Shinbashi didn't recognise Futami by looking at him either, but Futami remembered him well ―― That links a bit to what Azumi-san was saying too. |
| Banri | He was saying that sort of thing, but is it really something you don't forget. |
| Itaru | That depends on the person......Or well, it depends on the teacher. |
| Banri | Well, that's true. |
| Tsumugi | Ah, Itaru-kun, could you stop the car. |
| Itaru | 'K. |
| Misumi | Tsumugi and I were asked to do an errand for the Director so we'll get off here~. |
| Tsumugi | Then, see you back at the dorms. |
| Banri | Sure~. |
| Itaru | Well then, shall we head straight back. |
| Banri | Speaking of, there's still time until dinner. |
| Itaru | ―― Shall we go to the arcade? |
| Banri | Bring it on. |
| |
| Game | Fight! |
| Itaru | Come at me. |
| Banri | You don't have to tell me. |
| |
| Itaru | Ahh, this is fun. I don't have to hold back with you. |
| Banri | Do you ever hold back anyway? |
| Itaru | Just at first. I'll let them feel good for a bit, then beat 'em up completely. |
| Banri | You're seriously childish......Say. |
| About teachers. |
| Itaru | Hmm? |
| Banri | Taichi calls the Director "Director-sensei", right? I poked into that once. |
| |
| Banri | Hey, Taichi. |
| Taichi | What is it? |
| Banri | Why do you call the Director 'Director-sensei'? |
| Taichi | Why, you ask......I mean, people who teach you things are 'teachers', right? |
| |
| Banri | And he's the one who looked at me, confused. |
| Itaru | Huh. Then the Director's a teacher to me, too. |
| Banri | According to Taichi's logic. |
| ......Now that you mention it, when I did my portrait as the task set after joining the company, you told me you didn't think the Director would be fooled. |
| That kind of left an impression, so I haven't been able to forget it. |
| Itaru | Ahh......You remember that sort of thing, too? |
| Banri | I hadn't really expected you to say that sort of thing back then. So I remembered it. |
| Itaru | ......It was because to me, the Director is a forthright person who tries to see through to what's in my heart. |
| It's a mystery even to me, but......In front of the Director, I get the feeling that pretences won't work. |
| There's never been someone like the Director with me in my life until now. I might have had the hunch it'd be the same for you too. |
| Banri | ......I see. |
| Itaru | Thinking of it like that, maybe the Director really is a teacher. |
| After entering the company, I think I've been taught a lot by the people around me as well as the Director, like Sakuya or everyone in the Spring Troupe, for instance. |
| In some sense, maybe I should be calling everyone my teacher. |
| Banri | Oh, then from me too? |
| Itaru | I haven't learned anything in particular from you...... |
| Banri | Oi! |
| Game | YOU WIN! |
| Itaru | All right, that's one win. |
| Banri | One more. |
| Then I'm a student like you, huh...... |
| Itaru | We just talked about how we definitely wouldn't get along if we were together in the same class. |
| Banri | Haha, so we did. |
| Thinking of it like that, the troupe has elements that are kind of like a school. In terms of numbers there's about enough for a class, too. |
| Itaru | ...... |
| ......I might go to my old school after all. |
| Banri | Sounds good. See you. |
| Game | YOU WIN! |
| Banri | All right! |
| Itaru | Ah, damn it, I lost. |
| Banri | It's because you were spacing out. |
| Itaru | One more. |
| Banri | Come at me. |
