| Guy | “I’ve already told you the other day. I’m evicting you from this shop.” |
| Tsumugi | “No way! This is our precious shop...” |
| Guy | “A handmade senbei shop doesn’t make numbers and is inefficient. You barely get any customers recently. I will have you leave this shop, and I will build a new convenience store.” |
| Masumi | “Don’t be so selfish!” |
| Guy | “It’s already been decided. Be prepared to leave this place.” |
| Tsumugi | “...” |
| Izumi | (Guy-san plays the role of the owner, who informs them coldly of their eviction. The role of a cool, commanding man fits him perfectly.) |
| (He’s like a different person from when he was part of the Comedy Monster Trio.) |
| Masumi | “Dammit——! What do we do? This is our precious shop that we inherited from grandfather...” |
| Muku | “Onii-chan... Are we gonna lose this shop? I love the senbei that you two make...” |
| Tsumugi | “It will be all right; we definitely won’t lose this shop. We will protect it.” |
| Izumi | (On the other hand, the senbei shop brothers all have different personalities and are supporting each other nicely.) |
| (Because the scriptwriter Tsuzuru-kun usually comes up with skits, he’s really good at creating characters and coming up with stories.) |
| Masumi | “Nii-san... But, how do we...” |
| Tsumugi | “Soon there’s going to be a gourmet contest as a way to revitalize this town. We’ll show off our senbei there!” |
| Muku | “I see... If we win that contest, then we’ll surely get lots of customers.” |
| Masumi | “But it’s not that simple. We’ve got to think of ways to show off our senbei.” |
| Tsumugi | “Yeah, let’s hurry and prepare for it!” |
| “And then... We’ll also ask if they can help us.” |
| Masumi | “By ‘they,’ do you mean... But nii-san...” |
| |
| Omi | “...Sorry, but I refuse.” |
| Kumon | “...” |
| Tsumugi | “Fushiki, Hyogo! Please don’t say that. Can you lend us a hand? We need your help.” |
| Omi | “I already quit your shop. Besides, I’m sure you haven’t forgotten that our opinions clashed when I quit.” |
| Tsumugi | “That’s...” |
| Omi | “I wanted to create something that has never been done before, but you guys didn’t want that.” |
| Masumi | “That’s because your methods make light of tradition——!” |
| Omi | “Tradition may be important, but you’ll be left behind the times if you stick to it!” |
| Muku | “N-no fighting...!” |
| Omi | “Actually, it’s because of that that your shop doesn’t present anything new and you’re getting evicted. I won’t help you.” |
| Tsumugi | “...What about you, Hyogo...” |
| Kumon | “I’m also... I’m working at a new shop now, and it’s busy there...” |
| Izumi | (Omi-kun plays the role of Fushiki, who refuses to help, while Kumon-kun plays the role of Hyogo, who looks conflicted but won’t say yes.) |
| (The mood has become tense between them... I can also tell that the audience are watching in anticipation.) |
| Masumi | “...Whatever. We shouldn’t have asked you guys for help. You really are cold-hearted.” |
| “Let’s go, nii-san.” |
| Omi | “...” |
| Kumon | “...” |
| |
| Muku | “*munch munch*...” |
| “Yup! This senbei is really good!” |
| Tsumugi | “True, it’s delicious... But it’s lacking something that will win the contest...” |
| Masumi | “I want to change the packaging’s seal, but there’s so many things I want to present that I can’t organize it well.” |
| Muku | “...This is difficult...” |
| Masumi | “There isn’t even a day left before the contest...!” |
| Tsumugi | “——Huh? Customers are...” |
| “Wait, why do we have so many customers all of a sudden...!?” |
| Muku | “W-welcome! Yes! This is the traditional senbei shop!” |
| Masumi | “...You got flyer advertisements in front of the station? But we didn’t make any flyers...” |
| Tsumugi | “Could it be——!” |
| |
| Kumon | “We’re a traditional senbei shop! Our senbei have a nostalgic flavour and are really delicious. How about getting some as a gift or a souvenir?” |
| Muku | “Hyogo-san!” |
| Masumi | “How come!? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t help...” |
| Kumon | “...I’ve been thinking about it since then. After all, I love that senbei shop that taught me so many things.” |
| “I don’t want that shop to disappear. This is the only thing I can do, but... Please let me help.” |
| Tsumugi | “Hyogo...” |
| Omi | “...So? Have you perfected your senbei?” |
| Masumi | “Fushiki!” |
| Omi | “You haven’t, huh. Geez... It’ll be a bad dream if you lose the shop at this rate.” |
| “...I guess I don’t have a choice. I’m indebted to your grandfather for taking good care of me...” |
| Tsumugi | “Then——!” |
| Omi | “But like I said the other day, you guys lack novelty.” |
| “The tradition you want to protect, and my novel ideas –– a new original senbei that combines those two might be able to win the contest.” |
| Muku | “Yeah! We can definitely win!” |
| Tsumugi | “Fushiki... Thank you...!” |
| Masumi | “Geez, you just can’t be honest!” |
| Omi | “You’re telling me?” |
| Audience A | Fushiki-san is so cool...! |
| Audience B | I love the tsundere-ness of the little brother! |
| Izumi | (Working together to aim for victory, the members give each other a firm handshake.) |
| (It’s a scene that makes you feel the friendship between men; how emotionally touching. Everyone’s acting is great.) |
| |
| Kumon | “It’s our new original senbei that won the gourmet contest! Would you like a sample~?” |
| Muku | “This one is our basic traditional senbei. It’s very delicious! Please give it a try!” |
| Guy | “...I didn’t expect this shop to win the gourmet contest and to prosper again like this...” |
| Tsumugi | “Our new original senbei is also going to be featured in a gourmet magazine soon.” |
| Omi | “The new packaging is also popular among our young customers.” |
| Guy | “...I guess I can’t get rid of such a popular shop like this.” |
| Masumi | “So then...” |
| Guy | “I’ll reconsider the eviction.” |
| Muku | “Yay!” |
| Tsumugi | “...It’s thanks to everyone. I truly thank you!” |
| *applause* |
| |
| Omi | The roasted sweet potatoes are done. |
| Muku | Wah, it smells good! They look so delicious! |
| Guy | They’re also cooked well into a perfect golden colour. |
| Azuma | Having roasted sweet potato in the courtyard to celebrate... It has a charm of its own. |
| Itaru | You don’t see this type of view very often lately. I’ll take a vid. |
| Tasuku | Why roasted sweet potato...? |
| Hisoka | Apparently Citron got them. |
| Tenma | Wait, isn’t there a bunch of other things here besides sweet potatoes? |
| Citron | I tossed in all the vegetables I received! |
| Izumi | You really did... There are potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, and bell peppers. |
| Homare | Hmm, what a fragrant smell. Now I want to sing a roasted sweet potato song. |
| Misumi | Here! I’ll give you this sweet potato shaped like an egg, Tsumugi! Mine is a triangle! |
| Tsumugi | Thank you, Misumi-kun. Fufu, it’s fluffy. |
| Kumon | So good! Right, nii-chan! |
| Juza | It’s sweet and delicious. |
| Izumi | But still, I’m glad President Izumida was an understanding person. |
| Taichi | I didn’t expect him to actually cancel the eviction. That was a shocker! |
| Sakyo | Despite how he looks, that man loves plays after all. Credit also goes to Tsukioka for reviving the apartment shows. |
| Sakuya | The audience was so fired up! |
| Izumi | Everyone’s acting was truly wonderful! I was so moved that I almost started crying. |
| Tsuzuru | I want to do more performances from now on. |
| Kumon | Nii-chan, how was my acting!? |
| Juza | Yeah... It was great. |
| Azuma | Speaking of surprises, Azami being President Izumida’s son was also a shock. |
| Banri | Why didn’t you say anything? |
| Azami | No real reason. I didn’t think the eviction issue would be resolved even if I said anything. We don’t really talk much lately anyway. |
| Izumi | I think it would be nice if you talk more to your father about various things because of this. |
| Azami | ...I’ll think about it. |
| Tsumugi | ... |
| Tasuku | Tsumugi. |
| Tsumugi | ? |
| Tasuku | ...Your performance today was great. |
| Tsumugi | Tasuku... |
| ...Thank you. I hope I get to stand on stage with you next time. |
| Tasuku | Yeah, I hope so too. |
| Homare | Oh, this is not good. Tasuku-kun! The flame is about to go out! |
| Tasuku | Geez... I’m coming. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha, you’re so dependable. See you later. |
| Kumon | Tsumugi-san! |
| Tsumugi | Kumon-kun, good work. |
| Kumon | You too, good work on being the lead! You were super duper cool! |
| I’m so glad the performance today was a huge success! Plus it seems like you and Tasuku-san have made up. |
| Tsumugi | It’s thanks to you, Kumon-kun... and everyone. |
 |
| Kumon | We can finally act together with everyone in this apartment! |
| Tsumugi | Yeah. Let’s make this an even livelier and more enjoyable place where we can put on many different plays. |
| ...I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. |
