Practice Conversation 1[edit]

Masumi	This time, I play a rookie novelist, so I’m thinking of writing something myself to prepare for my role.
	Also, Kunishige, who I play, is a big fan of Tsurumatsu, who Tsuzuru plays.
	So I intend to reread all the different scripts that Tsuzuru has written up until now.
	I… don’t hate the scripts that Tsuzuru has created.
	In order to build his role, Sakuya has asked me to teach him how I usually support Tsuzuru.
	I’m going to give him advice on how to care for Tsuzuru.

Practice Conversation 2[edit]

Masumi	I asked Madoka how he writes novels and scripts.
	Tsuzuru always writes on his PC, but apparently, Madoka prefers to write by hand.
	He told me about how he takes notes when ideas come to him and what he pays attention to when he writes.
	Some parts differ from how Tsuzuru does it, so I think it was good reference.
	When I told him the story was about literary masters, Madoka said he was looking forward to it too.
	I think I’ll ask him a bit about his impressions after the show.

Masumi	For the novel I’m writing as role study, I’m thinking of using love as the theme.
	So, a love story, so to speak.
	I know how it feels to be in love and to pine for the other person, after all.
	But when I actually try to write it, it’s not that easy.
	It’s not the same as writing a love letter.
	I can’t completely express the charm of how beautiful and adorable the heroine is.
	And when I try to write about the protagonist’s feelings towards the heroine, they overlap with my own, my emotions overflow, and I can’t get anything down.
	Love is hard, even in novels.
	Of course, you’re the model for the heroine, and I’m the model for the protagonist.
	Even if it’s a short story, I want to finish it…
	I hope you’ll read it once it’s complete.

Tsumugi	You’re playing a novelist in your upcoming play, is that right, Masumi?
Masumi	Yeah. I’ve been trying to write a novel myself.
Tsumugi	Oh, really! That’s impressive.
Masumi	I’ve also been taking a stab at reading pure literature.
Tsumugi	Pure literature works, hm?
	The ones that are talked about in textbooks and appear on tests, right?
Masumi	Do you explain pure literature works to the students you tutor too, Tsumugi?
Tsumugi	That’s right. We read them together sometimes. And we also discuss the expression of the sentences and share our thoughts.
Masumi	I asked Tsuzuru and the others to recommend some books to me. Do you also have any?
Tsumugi	Yes, I suppose have some personal favourites of my own.
Masumi	The character I play prefers pure literature, so let me use them as reference.
Tsumugi	Of course. I’d love for you to tell me your impressions and what you liked about the books you read.
Masumi	Sure.
Tsumugi	That being said, would you like to go together to the library tomorrow?
	Let’s discuss as we browse the books.
Masumi	Sounds good.
