IzumiHey, Masumi-kun, I have something to talk to you about, is it alright.
Masumi?
IzumiActually, my husband’s transfer has been decided. I need to move out to a faraway place.
It seems that I have to quit the theatre troupe too…
Masumi
IzumiI’m sorry.
But, even if we’re far apart, I’ll always support everyone.
About the troupe, I’ll leave it to you.
Masumi
(No, wait… If you’re not here by my side, my acting too…)

Magicians' Pure Love Episode 5-2.png
SakuyaI’ve made copies of the script!
IzumiAlright, let’s get to the reading!
(It’s a story about a pair of magician master and pupil, who visited a mansion to hold a magician show, but they ended up getting involved with a mess caused by a phantom thief…
It started with a weird atmosphere, but followed up with a bittersweet ending…)
ItaruSenpai’s role, the master of the suspicious-looking magician, Uso Petén, really suits him.
TsuzuruWe decided the role beforehand after all.
This time, I wrote it with the image of the other members in mind as the basis.
The protagonist magician, Sugu Kiel[1] will be Masumi.
Petén’s old friend, the puppeteer, Kigutsudou, will be Itaru-san.
The millionaire owner of the mansion, Ritchie Marney will be Citron-san.
The hardworking servant, Koma, will be Sakuya.
Then, I really want to add a role of a detective in the development so I will be playing as Detective Kanagi… I’ll do my best to study his role properly.
IzumiIt suits everyone perfectly!
SakuyaKoma’s character sounds a bit complicated but, I’ll do my best!
CitronIt seems that I’m going to play another NG celeb!
Even the name sounds like a nasty high-up celeb!
ItaruWell, you’re the most millionaire like here.
ChikageYep, there’s no other choice.
CitronOh, I won’t be play the role because I’m a noble overflowing with dignity!
TsuzuruAre you bragging.
CitronMasumi, change role with me!
TsuzuruWait, he’s the lead!
Masumi
Citron…I guess I have no choice, I’ll surrender~
Izumi(Masumi-kun, as I thought, he looks a bit weird…)
Then, let’s get into the script reading, make sure to build the image of the role you will be playing as.
From tomorrow onwards, we will start reading together.
SakuyaYes.
TsuzuruAlright.

Masumi
Citron
*approaching slowly*
On the wall, I’m Minnie, but actually I’m Mary.
Masumi…It’s Citron behind me right.
CitronOn the floor, I’m Morris, on the ceiling, I’m a flying squirrel…
MasumiWhy does it suddenly become a flying squirrel.
What business do you have with me?
CitronI’m curious about how you read the script just now.
Maybe, were you empty sizing with the ending of Kiel’s first love?
Masumi… Empathize?
CitronThat’s it!
I thought you became nervous because of that.
Masumi… That’s actually, something that I requested from Tsuzuru.
CitronIt’s your request?
Why though?
Masumi
What is love for you, Citron?
Citron… Love, huh?
<<… The thing about love is, it always involves both good and evil>>
Masumi…What?
CitronIt’s a saying from an old philosopher.
Love is the strongest force, one that will pull you forward, further than any other.
I’ve seen you, Masumi, always for Director’s love, trying your best to move forward.
I’ll say it to you now but…
I’m actually quite jealous of you.
When I was in Zahra, I couldn’t even tell Guy or Tangerine that I loved them directly.
I had to choose the safest option, considering my position.
That’s why, Masumi who always acts by following your heart looks so bright to me.
Of course, it’s possible that other members think the same too.
Masumi
CitronBut, I’m sure everyone thinks that Masumi’s one directional thinking leads you to a good place.
Masumi…By the way, why did you call out to me during the flagship performance.
From now on, I’ll try to know more about everyone else…
CitronMasumi is a man who will move for the sake of someone you love regardless of any percussion, I think it will be good if you can direct that love to everyone else.
MasumiPercussion… repercussion?
CitronYou’re right. Masumi’s love, if you direct it to everyone else, I’m sure you will be able to get along with everyone.
MasumiMy love, since now and before will only belong to the Director.
CitronDo you really think so?
Nowadays, there are times that I can feel Masumi’s love.
MasumiThat’s just your excessive self-awareness.
CitronDuring the Quartet performance, it’s because of Masumi that I was able to express my love for Tangerine directly.
I’m really grateful for that.
To repay the favor from that time, I will support Masumi with all I have this time!
I’ll shower Masumi with my love!
MasumiYou’re annoying.
CitronLove is the strongest force.
For the sake of love, you can break your common sense and do crazy stuffs.
MasumiLove is, strongest force…

Notes

  1. I have difficulties translating the name so please bear with it. It’s whatever I can make out from the Kanji/Kana of the character’s name.

IzumiHey, Masumi-kun. There's something I'd like to talk to you about, but do you have time right now?
Masumi?
IzumiThe truth is, my husband's transfer has been decided. We have to move pretty far away.
I have no choice but to step down from this theater, too...
Masumi——.
IzumiI'm sorry. But even if I move far away, I'll still be supporting everyone.
Please take care of this theater.
Masumi——h.
(No, wait... If you're not going to be by my side. Then, I'll stop...) [1]
SakuyaI finished making copies of the script!
IzumiGreat, let's hurry and read it!
...
(The story is about two magicians who are teacher and student that visit a mansion in order to get ready to perform a magic show, and they're caught up in a commotion about a phantom thief...)
(It has a mysterious atmosphere, but the ending is a bit painful and bittersweet...)
ItaruSenpai's shady magician-teacher character, Uso Peten, is perfect for him. [2]
TsuzuruIt's because I wrote the role based on him.
This time, I was specifically thinking of the other members' images when I was writing, so all the roles are basically written based on everyone.
The protaganist magician, Sugu Kiel, is Masumi. [3]
Peten's old friend who's a dollmaker, Kugutsudo, is played by Itaru-san, and the rich man who owns the mansion, Richie Money, is played by Citron-san. [4]
The role of the hard-working servant, Koma, is played by Sakuya. [5]
Also, because I absolutely wanted a detective due to the happenings inside the story, I'll be playing the detective, Kaneshiro... I'll do my best to develop my role. [6]
IzumiAll the roles are perfect for everyone!
SakuyaKoma's other side seems a little complicated, but I'll do my best!
CitronIt's another role that stinks of celeb vibes that's NG for me! Just from the name it's so stuffy and celeb!
ItaruWell, you're the one who seems the most "rich man" out of all of us.
ChikageThere's nothing you can do about that.
CitronOhh~, everyone, my overflowingly refined, noble appearance is at fault, huh!
TsuzuruAre you bragging?
CitronMasumi, let's swap roles!
TsuzuruNo way, he's the lead actor!
Masumi...
Citron... I guess it's hopeless. I'll give up~.
Izumi(I knew it, Masumi-kun's acting a bit weird...)
Okay, everyone read your scripts and create the images of how you'll play your roles.
Starting tomorrow, we'll be doing readings.
SakuyaOkay.
TsuzuruSure.
Masumi...
Citron...
Walls have Niers, doors have Mais...
Masumi... And behind your back is Citron, right.
CitronUnder the floor is Swirls, in the attic is momonga...
MasumiWhy is only the last one momonga. [7]
What do you want?
CitronI was wondering about how you seemed when we were reading the script earlier.
Maybe, did you read how Kiel's first love ended and felt eckpathy with him?
Masumi... Empathy?
CitronYes, that! I thought you might be nervous.
Masumi... I'm the one who requested that of Tsuzuru.
CitronMasumi did? Why?
Masumi...
... To you, what is love?
Citron... Love, hm?
...
≪... Things done in love are always beyond good and evil.≫
Masumi... What?
CitronA philosopher once said that a long time ago. Love is the strongest and gives you an edge. [8]
I've watched as you've always done your honest best for the sake of the love you have for the Director.
Because it's now, I can say this, but... I was a little jealous of you.
When I was in Zahra, I wasn't able to convey my love for Guy and Tangerine in the straightforward way like you do.
I kept it to myself, thinking of my own standing.
That's why, the Masumi who always does whatever he wants was blinding for me.
Of course, because of that, you've clashed with the other members, too.
Masumi...
CitronBut I'm sure everyone thinks of that single-mindedness as a good part of you.
Masumi... Speaking of, why did you reach out to me during our debut performance? Saying, "Starting from now, you'll learn more and more about everyone else"...
CitronMasumi, you're the type of person that would do anything for the sake of your love for someone, even if there's no bane or sauce for you. I thought it would be nice if that love was directed to the others, too.
MasumiBane or sauce... Gain or loss?
CitronYes. If you aimed your love at the others, I was sure, you'd be able to be get along well with everyone.
MasumiMy love belongs to the Director and only her, now and back then, too.
CitronAre you sure? These days, there are moments where I can feel Masumi's love.
MasumiWay too self-conscious.
CitronDuring Quartet, because of Masumi, I was able to express my love to Tangerine straightforwardly.
I'm very grateful.
To return the favor for that time, too, I'll support Masumi with all my might this time!
I'll throw all my love at Masumi~!
MasumiAnnoying.
CitronLove is the strongest. If it's for the sake of love, you can destroy your own common sense and push yourself over your limits.
MasumiLove is, the strongest...

Notes

  1. This sentence is cut off, but he mentions acting, so I assume he's about to say he's going to quit acting
  2. Chikage's role's name is a pun (as is a lot of the others). His name, sound-only, means "lying trickster"
  3. His name is キエル or "Kieru," which would translate to "Kiel" in English. However, his name is also a pun, and taken by sound-only, his name means "soon disappears"
  4. Itaru's role, "Kugutsudo" is yet another pun, where the "kugutsu" in his name means "marionette" in sound, while the "do" in his name can be interpreted to be a couple different things. Citron's role's name's pun probably doesn't need any explanation
  5. Sakuya's role's name can be read a few different ways, but I think it's probably "Koma." I assume there's a pun here as well, but I can't think of anything particularly good except for "komakai" as a pun, which I would assume means "detailed" for him
  6. Tsuzuru's role's name can be read A LOT of different ways, but I chose "Kaneshiro" because I thought it was the most likely out of the readings. His name would mean "impregnable castle" as a noun, but you can read the two kanji for his name literally as "golden castle." I don't know which one is the pun, or if there's something else I'm missing
  7. This is a long-running joke between Masumi and Citron, but Citron often messes up a phrase that's supposed to mean "the walls have ears and the doors have eyes" when he approaches Masumi. He messes them up by calling them "Mimi" and "Mary" like they're names, so I... tried to make it similar by using some names that sounds similar to "ears" and "eyes." The "Swirls" part, Citron is trying to say "squirrels," but he does get the last one right in "Momonga," which are flying squirrels... I tried.
  8. Citron says "仏恥義理," or "bucchigiri" which is generally used to display a huge gap in power/stance when it comes to the quality of a matter or some sort of match/comparance of skill. Here, I decided to translate it as "gives you an edge" because I think that makes the most sense in this context, as he's trying to say it makes you stronger. Also, fun fact, he's actually using a delinquent slang form of "bucchigiri" by writing it in four kanji
  9. Masumi's note says: "Love is the strongest, gives you an edge." by Citron
