| Kazunari | Thank god we came to have a first look at the venue! |
| Banri | Looks like they’ve also started decorating, so we got a better image of the place now. |
| Since this is a high-class hotel, I had imagined the clientele’s general age range is also pretty high up, but… |
| Looking around, though, looks like there’s some students within the crowd too. |
| Kazunari | Tea-time activities have become pretty trendy lately after all~ |
| Banri | It’s trendy enough within our group too. |
| Kazunari | That is just role study, pinky swear~ |
| Banri | If it’s like this, then I could discuss with Director-chan to make the play be a bit more casual and comedic… |
| All while keeping the serious tempo in there to help with contrast. That’d be sound. |
| Kazunari | True! If we do it like that, then I think even the younger audience will be able to enjoy it. |
| Banri | ‘Kay, since that’s decided on, we can head back and get to practice. |
| Kazunari | Ah! Hang on hang on! |
| There’s also something that I want to check out! |
| |
| Banri | Heeh, this is the hotel’s garden? The flowers are all in bloom, even though it’s the middle of winter. |
| Kazunari | It’s sooo adorbs! It’s just as the hotel reviews said! |

 |
| Banri | Tsumugi-san would love this. |
| Kazunari | You’re not wrong there ♪ |
| *camera click* |
| Okay! Got enough pics I could upload to Inste now. |
| Best to make the most out of the official hashtag, so I’m collecting as much as I can. |
| Banri | As expectedly thorough of you. |
| Kazunari | Settsuar, you should really update more often~! Your Inste numbers could really grow! |
| Banri | Fine, fine. Might as well if they’re releasing the announcement post tonight. |
| Kazunari | Exactly! They’ll post it right after the end of our rehearsals, so it’ll be just the right timing! |
| |
| |
| Izumi | Alright! Thanks to Banri-kun’s suggestion, I think this turned out better than before. |
| Misumi | It’s a lot more fun doing it like this~! |
| Sakuya | Same here! I think having a bit more comedy in it makes it more interesting! |
| Azuma | Good job surveying at the venue. Thanks, you two. |
| Kazunari | Ah! Did the play information get announced yet? We could check out everyone’s reactions on the hashtag now. |
| Tsumugi | You’re right. Let’s hurry and take a look. |
| Kazunari | Searching it up now… |
| Izumi | Ah. “Female roles for Azuma-san and Masumi-kun will be too powerful!”, says one of them. |
| Misumi | “Sakuya-kun in a dress will surely be adorable~!!”, they said! |
| Masumi | “Misumi-kun seems like he’d act really great in a female role.” “I absolutely want to see Kazunari-kun’s Marie Antoinette!” |
| Izumi | There are a lot of positive reactions! I’m thankful to see all this excitement. |
| Sakuya | It’s kinda relieving to see. It’s getting me even more motivated! |
| Banri | Uhm, that’s real fine and all, but…… |
| Tsumugi | This is…….. |
| Izumi | ?? |
| “That means Banri-kun’s gonna do a female role, right?” “That’s really surprising! I can’t even imagine~” |
| Sakuya | “I kinda wanna see Banri-kun acting as Marie Antoinette’s double!”; “I did want to see Tsumugi-san in a female role, but I’m excited to see his Fersen too!!” |
| Kazunari | Somehow the reactions for Settsuar and Tsumu-Tsumu makes it sound like their roles got reversed. How did that happen? |
| Azuma | Let’s confirm at the hotel’s announcement. |
| Sakuya | …The advertisement they uploaded listed the casting with Banri as the servant, and Tsumugi-san as Fersen instead! |
| Tsumugi | You’re right… |
| Izumi | A-Anyway, I’ll go contact the organizer! |
| *door closes* |
| Banri | Me as the servant, and Tsumugi-san as Fersen……. |
| Azuma | I wonder if this was a mistake. But if they can make the correction as soon as possible, it should turn out fine. |
| Masumi | She already went to contact them after all. |
| Sakuya | Yeah, it’ll be fine. |
| Kazunari | But y’know, the reactions are good and all, but there’s lots of speculations coming up too— |
| Masumi | Well, any publicity is good publicity. |
| Misumi | "MANKAI COMPANY tackling a doomed love story? Eh, that's different from what I imagine!" |
| Tsumugi | “I hear Banri-kun will play the role of a servant who seduces Marie Antoinette.” |
| Sakuya | “Somehow this story sounds too heavy… You’d have to be brave to watch it.” |
| Tsumugi | They’re posting reactions about the story too, but they’re mentioning things that aren’t even written in the synopsis. |
| Kazunari | Mhm, I did some digging up… |
| Seems like they’re basing it on predictions from Marie Antoinette’s references, and the rumors are spreading on their own. |
| Misumi | Really….. |
| Sakuya | I know that everyone is only running wild with their imaginations, but… |
| Azuma | I suppose this just one of the cause-and-effects of publicity. Though this is proof enough there are people looking forward to it. |
| Sakuya | I see… You’re right! |
| Misumi | Then we better practice some more~ |
| Banri | …… |
| Tsumugi | (Banri-kun….?) |
