Masumi … (There’s no vacant seat around…) Madoka – You can sit over here. Masumi … thank you. You’re writing GOD-za’s script? Madoka Yeah. Recently I’ve been visiting GOD-za’s training hall, I need to keep studying theatre after all. Masumi Hee… Madoka After our loss in the act off, everyone in GOD-za’s been more motivated, of course Haruto-san and Shifuto included. Everyone’s practicing with all they have. Kamikizaka-san also changed towards a good direction. How’s your side doing? Masumi We decided that I’ll be the ‘lead’ for the upcoming Spring Troupe performance. Madoka Really. Congrats. Masumi I’m going to do my best for her sake. Madoka Her? Masumi It’s the director. Madoka You’re going to do your best for the director’s sake? Masumi I started acting for her sake. All the good performances I’ve done so far were to kindle our love. Madoka Ki, kindle your love…? Fukunaga That’s wonderful! So your passionate fire of love has polished your performances until now! Madoka !? Fukunaga You should promptly get that Director-san to come to this year’s school festival’s performance! Masumi I told you she won’t come. Fukunaga Ikaruga-kun! For his sake and for his director’s sake, let’s write a good script! Madoka I haven’t started writing anything. Fukunaga Not yet! Masumi Ha… Fukunaga You started acting for that person, and now you’re aiming higher to become a better actor for her, such a melodramatic scenario! Madoka Then, what if, you never met with Director-san, Masumi, would you be doing acting at all. Masumi There’s no such thing as a world where the Director and I won’t meet, our meeting was fate after all. When I manage to become her ideal actor, we would finally be connected as one… Fukunaga Fyuuu. Madoka You’re really a passionate one… Fukunaga For you to be so head over heels over her, this director-san would be a very attractive person, isn’t it. Masumi Of course. She loves curry, always working hard, pretty nice, likes curry, loves theatre, loves curry. Madoka So she likes curry that much… Fukunaga But for such a nice person, I would be worried if I was her boyfriend~ Masumi …We’re not going out yet. Fukunaga Eh!? Usui-kun that doesn’t sound like you, don’t say that she already has a boyfriend? Masumi … She doesn't. Fukunaga But, if you approach me so passionately, even I would relent sooner or later. Masumi I don’t want to approach you. Fukunaga It’s just an if! That’s why I was thinking there might be someone else on her mind. Masumi (Director has another guy on her mind…?) – (It can’t be… It’s impossible.) *Shifts to Living Room* Itaru Since Masumi-kun is the lead, I have an idea for a sequel. We can make Alice in Wonderland II. Sakuya We’ve never done a sequel before, so it sounds like a refreshing new idea! Tsuzuru But the rabbit ears… Citron Then how about puppy ears? Summer Troupe already used cat ears, so we should try something different. Itaru Is this a new animal series or something… Tsuzuru I’m not going to make such series!? Chikage Masumi’s good at sword fighting, why not we try a performance that can make use of his skill? Izumi Spring Troupe doesn’t really have a performance with battles and stuffs, maybe we can make it work! Masumi … Tsuzuru Masumi? Something bothering you? Masumi It’s nothing… Izumi ? Itaru If you want to make use of something Masumi’s good at, the other choice would be… Sakuya Ah! What about story about magicians!? He learns a lot of magic tricks from Chikage-san after all. Chikage I see. We can showcase the result of your training. Tsuzuru It sounds like it’s going to be a good theme, sounds like it can highlight the brightness of Spring Troupe too. Citron We played some live performances during the Quartet performance, maybe we can do the same with magic this time. Izumi Sounds fun, I’m looking forward to it! Itaru If it’s magic, then the co-lead would be senpai? Sakuya It’s the master-pupil combination! Tsuzuru Sounds great, why not. Citron I approve! Chikage I don’t mind. Masumi … Izumi Masumi-kun, will you be alright with this arrangement? Masumi … Yeah. Izumi (His answer’s a bit vague, I wonder if this is going to be alright…) Tsuzuru Then I’ll start thinking of a plot. Izumi Yeah, I’ll leave it to you. *Shifts to Corridor* Masumi … Chikage Masumi, is this alright? Masumi ? Chikage You were practicing to hold a magic show for Director-san, weren’t you. If we’re doing it on the stage, your performance will not be exclusive to Director-san anymore. Masumi Ah… It’s alright. Even if other people see it, I would still be able to convey my desire to show it to Director, it’s no problem at all. Chikage You’re so consistent. Masumi Just consistent? Chikage Ah… Well, if you’re satisfied then it’s fine. Masumi … Chikage (Since earlier, I’ve been feeling something weird… Well, it’s Masumi after all, most probably it’s something about Director-san Such a pure love is not my specialty…) … the upcoming performance, I’m looking forward to work with you. Masumi Yeah. *Shifts to Itaru/Chikage's Room* Itaru Woah, the rug’s expensive. Chikage … Itaru Ah, how’s Masumi? Chikage Masumi? Itaru I thought you went to talk to him? Chikage So you saw. Itaru I’m his dad after all. Chikage And I’m the grandfather huh. But he seemed to be fine for now, how to say… Is it alright for me to give my grandson some pocket money. Itaru I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work on that one grandson. Maybe a bromide of Director-san will work instead. Chikage You’re right. Well, since I’ll be co-starring, I shall communicate with him carefully. Itaru Please do so. Chikage By the way, how was he during the Alice performance? You were the co-lead right. Itaru Ah… We understood that we cannot understand each other. Chikage What’s that. But, I think I will be the same. Itaru Nah, senpai’s pretty unexpected, I think you might actually understand each other normally. I don’t have any basis for saying that, but if you find nothing in common with him, you won’t even teach him magic. That dry part was somehow similar as well. Chikage Starting from the basics. Our age difference is quite big… how about that. Above everything else, it doesn’t help that Masumi’s most prominent feature, being his passionate love, it’s not similar to me at all. Itaru Well, around the time when Spring Troupe was formed, there was a time when Masumi lost his passion in love. That’s when everyone started sharing love stories to him. Chikage Love stories… huh. Itaru Why not senpai go ahead and present one to him as well. Chikage Are you serious? Itaru Well, I don’t expect any interesting story to come out from you though. Chikage I don’t want to hear that from you. Well, I was told straight to the face that he doesn’t want to share love stories with me. Itaru Haha. So Masumi understands well.

Masumi ... (There are no available seats...) Madoka ——. Feel free to sit here. Masumi ... Thanks. You're writing a script. Is it for GOD-za? Madoka Yeah. Lately, I've been able to study GOD-za's rehearsals as well, and I'm learning about acting all over again. Masumi Huh... Madoka Since GOD-za lost the Showdown ACT, while Haruto-san and Shifuto have gotten re-motivated, the rest of GOD-za has, as well. Everyone's vigorously working hard at practice. Kamikizaka-san's atmosphere has also changed in a good way. How are things going over there? Masumi I'm going to be the lead for the next Spring Troupe play. Madoka Is that so? Congratulations. Masumi I'll do my best for her... Madoka Her? Masumi The Director. Madoka You're going to do your best for her? Masumi I started acting for her sake. I'll do a way better performance than before and make her fall in love with me all over again. Madoka F-Fall in love...? Fukunaga That's great! The blazing flames of love have polished your performance, huh! Madoka !? Fukunaga You should invite that Director-san to see this year's school festival's performance, too! Masumi I already told you that I'm not performing in that thing. Fukunaga Ikaruga-kun! You have to write a great script for his and the Director's sake! Madoka No, I haven't said I'll... Fukunaga Don't say that! Masumi *sigh*... Fukunaga Aiming for an even higher stage as an actor for the sake of the person who was the reason for you getting into acting is so dramatic! Madoka ... So, if you hadn't met Director-san, you wouldn't have become an actor. Masumi There's no such thing as a world where Director and I don't meet. Us meeting each other is destiny. When I become her ideal actor, we'll get married... Fukunaga *whistles* Madoka You're quite the ardent person... Fukunaga If you're that in love with her, then this Director-san must be quite captivating. Masumi Of course. She likes curry, always works hard, is nice, likes curry, likes theater, and likes curry. Madoka So she likes curry that much... Fukunaga But if she's that great of a person, you can't help but worry a bit as her boyfriend, right~. Masumi ... We're not going out yet. Fukunaga Huh!? If she hasn't been won over by you, does that mean she has a boyfriend? Masumi ... No. Fukunaga But if I was the one being pressured in such an ardent way, I feel like I'd end up being moved by you~. Masumi I wouldn't do that with you. Fukunaga It's just an analogy! That's why I was wondering if she might have someone else. Masumi (The Director is going to be with someone else...?) ——. (It's not possible... No way.) Itaru If Masumi's the lead, then there's the option of continuing the Alice performance. "Boy Alice in Wonderland II." Sakuya We've never done a continuation before, so in that sense, it's fresh! Tsuzuru I'd rather not with the rabbit ears... Citron Then how about dog ears? The Summer Troupe has taken the cat ears, so we can't back down here. Itaru A new entry in the animal series... Tsuzuru I'm not making that kind of series, okay!? Chikage Masumi's good at fighting scenes, too, so how about putting that to work? Izumi The Spring Troupe doesn't really do battle-centric performances, so that might be interesting! Masumi ... Tsuzuru Masumi? Is something wrong? Masumi No... Izumi ? Itaru If it's putting Masumi's specialties to work, then the others are... Sakuya Ah! How about a magician!? Chikage-san often teaches him about magic. Chikage I see. We'd be able to see the results of his practice, too. Tsuzuru It's a theme we haven't done before, and it has a bright atmosphere that suits the Spring Troupe, so it might be a good idea. Citron During Quartet, we performed live during the performance, but this time, the audience will be able to see magic. Izumi That sounds like fun! Itaru If it's about magic, then I guess the second lead would be Senpai? Sakuya It would be the duo of teacher and student! Tsuzuru That sounds good to me. Citron Agree! Chikage I wouldn't really mind, either. Masumi ... Izumi Would you be okay with that Masumi-kun? Masumi ——Yeah. Izumi (He seems kind of out of it. I wonder if he's okay...) Tsuzuru Okay, then, I'll think of a plot. Izumi Mm, I'm counting on you. Masumi ... Chikage Masumi, do you have a second? Masumi ? Chikage You practiced to do a show that was exclusively for Director-san. If it's performed onstage, it's going to be seen by more than just her. Masumi Oh... It's whatever. Even if other people see it, I'll be performing it with the feelings of wanting her to see it the most. There's no problem. Chikage Same as usual. Masumi Is that it? Chikage Ah... Well, if you're satisfied with that, then it's fine. Masumi ... Chikage (Ever since a while ago, it's been clear that he's not himself, but... Since it's Masumi, it's probably about Director-san.) (Love is outside my area of expertise, so...) ... Looking forward to working with you for the next performance. Masumi Right. Itaru ... Yikes, this lag is an F. Chikage ... Itaru Oh, how was Masumi? Chikage Masumi? Itaru You went to go talk to him, right? Chikage You're watching pretty closely. Itaru I'm his dad, after all. Chikage And I'm his grandpa, huh. For now, he seems okay, but who knows for sure... Maybe it'd be better if I gave my grandson some pocket money. Itaru There's no way that'll have any effect on that grandson. It would have to be like a bromide of Director-san or something. Chikage True. Well, I'm the second lead, so I'll try to be as careful as possible and communicate with him. Itaru Please do. Chikage Speaking of, what about during Alice? You were his second lead, weren't you? Itaru Ahhh... We understood that we can't understand each other. Chikage What's with that. But, it seems like that's what's going to happen with me, too. Itaru No... Senpai, you might unexpectedly be able to normally understand him. I don't have any basis for this, but I think you might be able to find a surprising point in common with him. You already teach him magic regularly. Your guys' dry foundation is also kinda alike. Chikage Foundation, huh. Our ages are pretty far apart... I wonder. More than anything, the thing that Masumi seems worried about the most, which is relationships about love, is something we don't have in common at all. I doubt I'd be able to help him. Itaru Now that you mention it, around the time the Spring Troupe was established, Masumi got depressed over a broken heart. Back then, we gossiped about love together. Chikage Love gossip... huh. Itaru You should try talking to him about that, too, Senpai. Chikage Are you saying that for real? Itaru Well, it doesn't seem like you'd have any interesting stories to tell, though. Chikage I don't want to hear that from you. Besides, not too long ago, he already told me that he has no intention of gossiping about love with me. Itaru Haha. Masumi totally gets it~.
