Practice Conversation 1[edit]

Hisoka	Fukumaru, who I play, is a role who’s good at tumbling, doing backflips, and what’s called “turning a tombo”^[1] in Kabuki.
	I think I’m relatively good at things like that, but there’s a scene this time where I help Citron do them too.
	I can do them myself, but I haven’t really assisted others much, so I’ll practise properly together with Citron.
	Also, Fukumaru treats Sahul harshly at first, but starts helping him out in the middle.
	Citron was saying that kind of tsundere side might resemble Tenma, so I think I’ll try using him as reference.

Practice Conversation 2[edit]

Hisoka	During the day, Tsumugi and Tasuku were holding a study session in the courtyard.
	It was preparation for the story of the Kabuki performance that’s going to be broadcast.
	They said it was because we would enjoy it more if we knew about the synopsis, characters and setting of the play.
	I was listening in for a bit too, and Tsumugi’s explanations were really easy to understand.
	It sounds like Tsumugi’s going to interpret the difficult lines for us as we watch it as well.
	Since it’s a good chance, I guess I’ll watch it together with them…

Hisoka	They’re selling fruits and sweets around here.
	It looks like they also let you sample them.
	…This candy is sweet and tasty.
	Do you like this one too, Director?
	…So do I. I’ll buy a few.
	I bought some marshmallows and sweets when I went out with everyone in Winter troupe, and those tasted really great too.
	I’m sure you’ll like them, Director.
	I’ll share them later.
	Will you share the sweets you bought as souvenirs with me too, Director?
	Thanks. Then let’s exchange them and eat them together.
	Guy got advice from Mika, and he said he’s considering adding more items to the dessert menu at his bar.
	I’ll do my best so I can dish them up nicely too.

Hisoka	This napping spot that Citron told us about…
	It’s really great.
Masumi	I like it too.
	It’s quiet and the breeze feels nice.
Hisoka	There’s also the nice scent of incense.
	This blanket Citron lent us feels great and I like it too.
Masumi	Speaking of which, he said we can bring this blanket back as a souvenir.
Hisoka	Even back at the dorm, if we light some incense in the courtyard and use this blanket to sleep, it can feel like we’re taking a nap in Zafra.
	Something like that might be nice from time to time.
Masumi	True, that’s not bad.
	Then I’ll ask Citron about these incense later too.
Hisoka	Thanks.
	Yawn… Let’s nap already.
Masumi	Yeah…
Hisoka	Good night…
	Zzz, zzz…
Masumi	Zzz, zzz...
