Hirato | Once again, thank you so very much for your work today!! |
| And once more, I’d like to apologize for all the trouble that I’ve caused to your company. |
Izumi | Please. It turned out to be a good experience for us, actually. |
Banri | Plus, even with the sudden change in roles, you guys were able to adjust the costumes and scripts all accordingly down to the finest details. We should be the ones grateful. |
Hirato | …I was a little worried about the script at the start. |
| But when I saw the actual performance, I was most grateful to find how different the impressions were from just reading the writing itself. |
| It was greatly received by the guests and hotel staff as well. |
Tsumugi | I’m glad to hear everyone enjoyed it. |
Hirato | So in an addendum to that, I have but one more favor to ask of you…. |
Izumi | ? |
Hirato | How would you like to be part of the fashion show on the fair’s final day? |
Sakuya | A fashion show…!! |
Azuma | Apparently it was arranged with the fashion that Marie Antoinette loved in mind. |
Hirato | You will be asked to dress up again, but this will be more of a costume showcase than it is a performance. |
Banri | In that case, would it be alright to appear with each of our roles in mind? |
Hirato | Of course. |
Kazunari | Let’s do it! Let’s do it!! I’ve always wanted to walk on the runway~!! |
Misumi | Me too!! I could find triangles while on top of the runway! |
Masumi | I have to wear that dress again…… So troublesome. |
Sakuya | But Director praised and called you pretty for it, didn’t she!? |
Izumi | Yeah, I was practically captivated by your beauty. |
Masumi | I’ll do it. |
Azuma | Since Banri and Tsumugi’s roles are men, it’d be good to see you guys as escorts too. |
Tsumugi | I should practice towards becoming a stylish escort then. |
Izumi | Fufu, as you can see, everyone’s pretty into the idea, so please let us do the show. |
Hirato | Thank you so much! |
| |
| |
Tsumugi | Sorry to make you wait, Banri-kun. |
Banri | All good. |
Tsumugi | You’ve got a serious face on. What are you reading there? |
Banri | It’s a table about the designated workshops in uni. |
Tsumugi | Oh right, you did mention before how you had trouble choosing which one to join, right? |
Banri | Ah, that I did… At the time, I thought that none of the workshops were really clicking with me. |
| But thinking about it, it’s just the same as the time I chose to do Fersen’s role— the unconscious decision to do something that didn’t fit the “me within my own self.” |
| I was under the impression that I couldn’t choose, but really, it’s that I didn’t choose to. |
| When you mentioned I should think about “things I’m lacking in”, the truth is, there are a lot of things on that list… |
| But for now, I think it’s just a matter of letting go of my own preconceptions about myself. |
Tsumugi | I see. In that case, which ones did you end up choosing? |
Banri | Actually, it’s amazing that I overlooked this before but… Look at this. |
| |
| |
Homare | I’m truly excited to see Tsumugi and the others in the fashion show. |
Tsuzuru | I didn’t think they would go as far as to invite us to this. |
Juza | (chewing) (chewing).... |
Taichi | Juza-san, I know the sweets here are delicious and all, but you can’t just ignore the show while you’re here! |
| Look, it’s about to start! |
Azuma | …… |
Muku | Uwaah, Azu-nee is really dazzling…! |
Tsuzuru | Woah….. That’s Yukishiro-san for you. |
Guy | It suits him even more than I thought it would. A refined beauty. |
Sakuya | …… |
Citron | Ooh, Sakuya is absolutely adorable! |
Azami | I was thinking about it while putting on his make-up earlier, but Sakuya-san’s vibes here are really good. |
Masumi | ….. |
Chikage | Heeh, it’s a good fit on Masumi too. |
Itaru | It might be good to have those two do female roles in a Spring Troupe performance sometime. |
Tenma | Actually, Masumi is being very obvious about his fanservice towards the Director….. |
Izumi | Ahahaha…. |
Misumi | ~~♪ |
Omi | Misumi looks cute as well. I better take some good shots. |
Kumon | Ah, he’s doing a triangle pose so casually! |
Kazunari | …… |
Sakyo | Hoh, Miyoshi’s is also quite flamboyant. It looks pretty good on him. |
Yuki | Well look at that. Maybe I should get them to wear outfits like this more. |
Tsumugi | ….. |
Hisoka | Tsumugi-kun also suits the dignified look. It’s cool. |
Tasuku | I was surprised to hear that they changed roles midway, but he pulls off the count’s role pretty well actually. |
Sakyo | ….Settsu has yet to appear, hasn’t he. |
Taichi | He should be right after this, right? |
Banri | Bonsoir? |
Juza | !? |
Kumon | Eh, he’s not in the servant’s outfit!? |
Tsuzuru | Seeing the real thing, he’s pretty muscular…. But….. |
Taichi | It’s almost bewitching that my heart’s racing…!! |
Tenma | Is it the way he’s using his gaze? No wait, his delicate movements are pretty good too. |
Izumi | Banri-kun has really perfected his way toward his female role…! |
Sakyo | …That damn Settsu. Good on him. |
Juza | Since when did he… |
Sakuya | Looks like everyone's really surprised. |
Azuma | We thought we'd be seeing the servant too, from what we heard at the start. |
Tsumugi | …….. |
| —— —— —— —— FLASHBACK —— —— —— —— |
| A workshop on taishu theatre…? [1] |
Banri | More than that, look at the mentor’s troupe. |
Tsumugi | Ah, that’s Syu-san’s troupe. |
Banri | The mentor doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be Syu-san himself, but if it’s his troupe, then there’s no doubt about it. |
| And under its program here…. |
Tsumugi | “3. Adapting to the Female Role”, huh… That would be part of taishu theatre, yeah. Is this what you’ll be aiming for, then? |
Banri | Since the fashion show coming up will allow me to put the female role acting into practice, I want to show just how much I can improve. |
| —— —— —— —— FLASHBACK END —— —— —— —— |
Tsumugi | …….Fufu. |
Misumi | Welcome back, Banri~! Good work out there! |
Banri | Nice going everyone— Hey, what's that grinning for, Tsumugi-san? |
Tsumugi | Nothing— You’ve really grown to become such a splendid theatre junkie, that’s all. |
