Part 1Part 2Part 3

Itaru	(I'm off today. Should I unlock the new chapter in the main story?)
Tasuku	Ah, Chigasaki.
Itaru	Hm?
Tasuku	Great timing. I was about to go to your room.
Itaru	It's quite rare for you to need something in my room.
	Is something up?
Tasuku	Actually, I wanted to use a game controller as a prop at my guest performance.
	It doesn't matter if it's a broken one. If you have anything you're not using, can I have it?
Itaru	Got it. It's in my room.
	But the Spring Troupe is going to have a meeting shortly.
	Can I hand it to you after?
Tasuku	Yeah. I don't mind.
Itaru	Ok. I'll look for it.
Tasuku	Thanks.
	I'll go and get it at night.
Itaru	Got it.
Sakuya	I suggest our practice schedule next month to be something like this.
Chikage	I'll leave it up to you.
Sakuya	Is there anything else?
Tsuzuru	Ah, speaking of.
	There will be a plumbing inspection in the kitchen today.
	I'd like to request everyone to provide your own dinner.
Masumi	Understood.
Itaru	Guess I'll order a pizza then.
Citron	Sounds great-! I want to eat pizza too!
	Let's have a pizza party with everyone in the Spring Troupe.
Sakuya	Wah, sounds fun!
Itaru	We haven't been eating together lately, so why not?
Tsuzuru	I'm in.
	What about Masumi and Chikage-san?
Chikage	I don't mind either.
Masumi	It's a hassle to prepare other stuff. I'm fine with it.
Citron	Great!
	Then, let's gather in room 103 for dinner!
Itaru	Wait up.
Citron	What is it?
Itaru	I certainly said I want to eat pizza but I don't necessarily want my room to be the venue.
	There isn't enough space for 6 people to gather in my room now.
Tsuzuru	....In short, it's messy, right?
Itaru	Well, I guess you could say that.
Masumi	You could only say that.
Sakuya	If it'll be an inconvenience to Itaru-san, we can gather in another room...
Chikage	No, room 103 is fine.
Itaru	Eh.
Chikage	Isn't this a great opportunity to clean?
Tsuzuru	Ah, you're right.
Sakuya	Umm....
	You'll feel much better after cleaning your room!
Citron	Itaru, fighting!
Masumi	It's decided.
Itaru	Ehh~.....Then is there anyone who can help---
Citron	Oh! I promised to go to the shopping street with Misumi!
	Sakuya is coming with me. Let's go, quick!
Sakuya	Eh? Ah, yes!
Masumi	I have homework to finish.
Tsuzuru	Me too. I need to turn in a report next week.
Itaru	......And they're all gone.
Chikage	.......
Itaru	......
Chikage	I want to help you but...?
Itaru	I know right....
Chikage	Well, I can help you with vacuuming.
	The things scattered around are all your stuff. It's your job to put the trash together.
	There are things I shouldn't see, and some things that'll get you in trouble if picked up.
Itaru	Well, the things you shouldn't see won't be lying around but,
	the things that'll cause me trouble if picked up.... now that you mentioned it.
	Haa.... I need to find the controller.
	Guess it's just the right timing.

Itaru	Now then,
	Where should I start....
	Should I find the controller Tasuku is asking for first?
	Hmm, I'm pretty sure the old controller is just around here...
	Uwah!?
	*clatter*
Itaru	What a disaster.
	Did I pile it up too high....?
	But now it's all scattered gaudily...
	I'm losing motivation more and more...
	*knock*
Itaru	Yes?
Izumi	Itaru-san?
	I heard a loud sound just now...
Itaru	I summoned a goddess in exchange for my motivation.
Izumi	......I have a bad feeling about this.
	*time skip*
Izumi	I get it now....
Itaru	Staaaare--....
Izumi	....I'm not helping you.
Itaru	The reward is curry pizza though?
Izumi	Consider it a done deal.
Itaru	Hell, yeah! Thank you director-san.
Izumi	Let's get started then.
	I'll start on this side.
Itaru	Ok.
Izumi	There's a lot of clutter this time too...
	Itaru-san has a lot of stuff, to begin with.
Itaru	I know.
Izumi	Ah, this doll....
Itaru	Ohh, Rōm Raven.
Izumi	You made it for your role study during the Magician's performance, didn't you?
	Ah, there's the robot we bought together with Sakuya-kun!
	Knight of round table candy toy, this one is---
Itaru	I received this as a thank you gift during the moon-viewing party at the rabbit's shrine, it's Rabbit-sama's figure.
Izumi	How nostalgic!
	Itaru's adlib and sword fight at that time was cool.
Itaru	Really? Thanks.
Izumi	We also went to hobby shops...
Itaru	I went to buy a Kniroun candy toy.
Izumi	That's right!
Itaru	I will display this figure after the desk is tidied up so let's leave it here for now.
Izumi	Understood.
Itaru	Next is the books.
	Game magazines are going to the trash. I'm keeping the graphics collections.
Izumi	Got it. Let's put the books you want to keep here.
	Ah, the scripts are organized.
Itaru	Well of course.
	We are doing repeat performances. Sometimes, I just want to read it again. Especially Kniroun.
Izumi	Fufu, it's something you treasure.
CHOICE 1: "There are lots of memories" [+] Izumi Seeing the figure earlier made me remember lots of memories. Itaru Yup. What kind of roles we made, where everyone went, the various practices and performances we have done... Seeing these things immediately reminds me of them. Acting while thinking and consulting with everyone... As I thought, it's fun and I like it. Of course, I also like talking to the director about various things. I also like going out with just the two of us. Izumi Fufu, same here.
CHOICE 2: "I'm looking forward to the repeat performances and new performances" [+] Izumi I'm looking forward to the repeat performances and new performances. Itaru Yup. I want to do my best to do better acting for the repeat performances. I want to try new things. Thinking about what kind of story our new performances will have and what kind of roles we'll play is really exciting. As you can see from the various stuff in here, we can act by making use of our experiences, role study, and making use of things we like. Izumi Yes. For actors, all experience is food.
Itaru	When you look at it this way, memories are condensed in this room.
Izumi	Fufu, you're right.
	.....Aren't you just trying to get away by saying good things now?
Itaru	You noticed?
Izumi	Sheesh.....
	That aside, let's continue decluttering.
	Let's put out the ones that are obviously trash.
Itaru	Ye--s.
Itaru	Alright, I think everything I need to throw away is already in the garbage bags.
	We couldn't organize all the stuff scattered around but let's wrap it up for now.
	This should be enough for everyone to be able to eat together.
Izumi	That's right. Good work.
Itaru	GJ, GJ.
	Let's take out the garbage bags for now.
Itaru	Oof!
Masumi	Ah.
Itaru	Hm, Masumi?
Masumi	.....
	Tag.
Itaru	....Ha?
Masumi	You're “it”.
Itaru	I don't get what's going on here.
Citron	Oh--! Itaru is participating!
Sakuya	Ah, Itaru-san, director!
Tsuzuru	Good job on cleaning.
Itaru	He said I'm the "it" earlier.
	Is everyone playing some kind of game?
Citron	We're playing Spring Troupe tag!
Itaru	Spring Troupe tag.....?

Tsuzuru	Citron-san suggested we exercise to empty our stomachs before the pizza party...
Sakuya	So everyone started playing Spring Troupe tag.
Itaru	But why tag?
Citron	I saw Misumi playing tag with the cats. It looked fun!
Itaru	What are you, elementary school kids?
Masumi	Anyways, I tagged you earlier, you're "it" now.
Itaru	I'm taking out the trash though?
Masumi	I'll take the trash out with director.
Itaru	I was robbed of my garbage bag.
Tsuzuru	Speaking of, the game ends when everyone becomes "it" once. Except for Itaru-san, everyone has already become "it".
Itaru	Am I the last one? It'll end in one round then.
	I'm not good at exercising but I think I can at least catch one person.
	....Alright, then....
Chikage	I'm back.
Izumi	Ah, Chikage-san, welcome back.
Sakuya	Welcome back!
Chikage	Everyone's gathered up. What's going on?
Masumi	We're playing Spring Troupe tag to empty our stomachs.
Chikage	.....Everyone is sure lively.
Citron	Chikage, play with us!
Tsuzuru	Itaru is playing “it” now. The game ends when all members become "it" once.
Sakuya	It's fun! play with us too, Chikage-san!
Itaru	No, wait.... That's...
Chikage	I see. Fine.
Itaru	Nononono.... You mean, I have to catch senpai for the game to finish....
	I'm screwed... It's an impossible game. RIP me.
Izumi	I-Itaru-san, good luck....
Citron	I'll start counting from 1 to 10--!
	*Time Skip*
Itaru	Haa~~~~.....
Citron	Oh-, Itaru's soul is seeping out of his body.
Tsuzuru	That's only understandable....
	*Flashback*
Itaru	Pant...pant...pant...pant...
Masumi	The game won't end at this rate.
Itaru	I told you. Catching senpai is an impossible game for me, pant, pant...
Sakuya	Itaru-san, are you okay...?
Tsuzuru	Now I'm hungry...
Citron	I'm starving...
Chikage	We've completed the goal of making everyone hungry before the pizza party.
	Let's end this soon.
	Here.
Itaru	Ugh.... Having a hand reached out for me to tag, how humiliating...
	But, I have no other choice.
	Tag.
Tsuzuru	He ran around so much his soul is starting to come out.
Sakuya	Itaru-san devised various things to catch Chikage-san.
	The game is so much fun. Thanks to it we were able to empty our stomachs!
Chikage	Sorry for the wait. The pizza is here.
Citron	Yay-!
Sakuya	Wah, it smells good.
Tsuzuru	We have XL-size pizza of various flavors. It's luxurious.
Izumi	How about a drink? Itaru-san, yours is cola, right?
Itaru	Thanks.
	Pizza and cola taste even better after work and exercise.
Citron	Itaru came back to life!
Chikage	You'll turn into an overweight middle-aged man in no time.
Itaru	Shut up. I'm exercising properly during practice, you know.
	I'm digging i---
	*knock*
Itaru	Hm?
Tasuku	I'm coming in.
Izumi	Oh, it's Tasuku-san.
Tasuku	The Spring Troupe is gathered up.
Citron	We're having a pizza party!
	Tasuku, join us!
Tasuku	I'll pass. Winter Troupe is planning to have a hot pot party at Arisugawa's request.
Sakuya	I see.
Itaru	Come to think of it, I feel like I've forgotten something...
Tasuku	Chigasaki, do you have the controller?
Itaru	.....Ah.
Masumi	Controller?
Itaru	He wanted to use it as a prop. I was asked to look for it.
Tsuzuru	So that was it.
Chikage	Looks like the pizza and cola will have to wait.
Itaru	Ugh...
