Part 1

Izumi	Let’s end practice here today.
Tenma	Nice work.
Misumi	Nice work~!
Izumi	How was your first Summer Troupe practice, Kumon-kun?
Kumon	I found out how difficult acting is... There’s a lot to learn....
	But! I wanna do my best!
Izumi	Let’s work hard together.
Tenma	I’ll kick you into shape.
Kumon	Yeah! Please guide me!
Kazunari	But you have a lot of stamina, Kumopi! You kept up with us! That’s amazing!
Kumon	Really!? Thanks, Kazu-san!
Yuki	Well, you do have enough spirit. To the point where it’s almost annoying.
Misumi	Yup yup! You’re full of energy, perfect for Summer Troupe!
Muku	Let’s get along, Kyu-chan!
Kumon	Everyone’s etudes were amazing~! How do you come up with those responses!?
Tenma	To some extent, you just have to get used to it. You need all kinds of acting experiences.
Muku	I had so much trouble when I first started too... Everyone helped me by going out to do street acts with me.
Misumi	Street acts are fun~! Let’s do one together, Kumon~!
Kumon	A street act... I don’t know how good I’ll be, but I wanna try!
Kazunari	No worries, no worries! We’ll back you up! Let’s get used to it by having fun!
Yuki	We can do a few more etudes exercises during practice, too.
Kumon	Yup, I wanna! I’m looking forward to practice tomorrow~!
Tenma	Practice tomorrow starts in the evening, right?
Kumon	Evening....
	Aah!?
Kazunari	Woah, you surprised me! What’s wrong?
Kumon	I forgot I have extra lessons! I might be late to practice....
Misumi	Extra lessons~?
Kumon	Yeah. I did really bad on my last test....
Yuki	We have another idiot here.
Tenma	Extra lessons... Will you be okay?
Yuki	Look who’s talking. You have extra lessons all the time, Useless.
Tenma	Wha! L-look, I’m busy with work, so sometimes I miss class, that’s why—!
Muku	Well, you were never too good at school, Kyu-chan....
Kumon	And practice just started too~!
	What if I fail my next test too....
Muku	I think Tsumugi-san can help you with your studies? He’s really nice and easy to understand.
Kazunari	Yup! Tsumutsumu works as everyone’s tutor sometimes!
Tenma	Juza-san got help from him all the time.
Kumon	Really!? Nii-chan too!?
Kazunari	I can teach you stuff like tips for memorization!
Yuki	I’m always surprised that Mr. Communication is good at school....
Muku	I might be able to help out a little, so ask me anytime.
Misumi	You have lots of teachers, Kumon~!
Kumon	Thanks, everyone! Hehe, I’m really glad I joined the dorms~!
	All right! I’ll do my best at school and acting!
