| Izumi | (Okay then, I wonder how the practice of the Autumn Troupe is coming along--) |
| *awful guitar sounds* |
| !? |
| Masumi | My ears hurt… |
| Tsuzuru | It really vibrates in my post-all-nighter head… flop. |
| Izumi | Tsuzru-kun--! |
| (Don't tell me this is…) |
| I-I'm going to check it out…! |
| |
| (As I thought it was the Autumn Troupe's practice session…) |
| Omi | Hmm… like I thought, we’re really getting out of sync as we play. |
| Juza | I don't know what part we're playing anymore. |
| Izumi | (…they look really great when they're holding the instruments like this, but the execution…) |
| Banri | Oh, Director-chan. |
| Izumi | You're practicing hard. …err, how did you decide who plays which instrument? |
| Sakyo | Lottery. |
| Izumi | Lottery… |
| Banri | I'm the main vocalist. |
| Azami | Juza-san and I are playing the guitar. |
| Omi | I'm playing the drums. |
| Taichi | Sakyo-nii is playing the bass, and I'm playing the keyboard! |
| Izumi | I-I see… by the way guys, any experience with playing instruments? |
| Banri | Nope. |
| Omi | I have none. |
| Sakyo | No way in hell I have any. |
| Juza | None. |
| Azami | Same here. My shitty pops would've never allowed something flashy like that. |
| Izumi | Thought so… |
| Taichi | I've played around with a keyboard before in order to become popular, so it's all fine! |
| Sakyo | I think that if we can get accustomed to it, we’ll sound more decent though… |
| Omi | We just have to practice. |
| Sakyo | Right. |
| |
| Banri | Alright then, let's try that part just now once more~. |
| Juza | … |
| |
| Izumi | (Hmmm, Juza-kun keeps messing up at the same part, and like a chain reaction the whole performance falls apart huh…) |
| Banri | --I'll play the guitar after all. If it's singing then even Hyodo can do it right. |
| Sakyo | This might be for the best. Hyodo, you are a good singer right. |
| Azami | Heh. That's kinda unexpected. |
| Taichi | He scored higher points than Ban-chan in karaoke! |
| Banri | Ah? That was just a problem with my song choice, it was just a fluke I'm telling you. |
| Omi | Well, it is the truth that Juza is a good singer. Isn't it better if you change roles like Banri says? |
| Juza | --No, I'll keep playing the guitar. It's something we decided with lottery. I'll see it through to the end. |
| Azami | … |
| |
| --Juza-san? |
| Juza | …Azami. On your way back from school? |
| Azami | Yeah. Where are you heading to with this guitar case. |
| Juza | …to practice a bit. The dorms don’t have soundproof rooms, so it's a nuisance to the other guys. |
| Settsu is being a pain in the ass and keeps telling me to settle for air guitar, so I thought about practicing in a karaoke place--. |
| Azami | …I'll come with you. |
| Juza | You're doing better than me right Azami. |
| Azami | I'm playing the guitar same as you. It's more efficient if we practice together right. |
| Juza | …Yeah, guess you're right. |
| |
| Azami | Let's start again from the same part. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| Azami | This part, try it again. |
| Juza | Yeah. My bad… |
| Azami | (…if we at least had someone who could teach us--) |
| *knock knock* |
| ? |
| Manager | As I thought, it was Hyodo-kun and Izumida-kun! |
| Juza | Manager… how did you know we were here. |
| Azami | Rather, don't just enter like it's nothing. |
| Manager | I came here to karaoke and then I saw you guys playing your instruments~. To think all of you were here… |
| Azami | All of you? |
| Juza | The others were here too? |
| Manager | Eh!? Ah~… F-From the shopping district! I was talking about my bowling pals from the shopping district~! |
| But what do you know, this really brings back memories~. When I was a student I also went with my band members--. |
| Azami | --! Manager, you were in a band? |
| Manager | Yes! You might not believe me but I was a music loving boy. I can play almost any musical instrument! |
| Azami | The savior has arrived… |
| Juza | True that… |
| |
| Izumi | Let's practice here today. |
| Juza | Yeah. Here we can play with no worries. |
| Taichi | Let's do this~! |
| Banri | Then we're starting. One, two… |
| |
| Izumi | Guys you're amazing! You became so much better compared to last time! |
| Sakyo | You're exaggerating. |
| Izumi | Not at all! Ah, here, have some water. |
| Sakyo | Yeah, thank y--. |
| Izumi | Are you alright!? Are you hurt… |
| Sakyo | …no. It's nothing big. |
| Omi | Haha. We should've taped that better. |
| Izumi | (…Sakyo-san's hands, they're covered with bandages. And Omi-kun's too…) |
| Taichi | Sakyo-nii and Omi-kun, you were practicing secretly right. |
| Izumi | Secretly? |
| Omi | So you noticed, Taichi. |
| Sakyo | Well, I didn't really think we could hide it. |
| Omi | The drums and bass are the support of the performance. We secretly visited a karaoke place and practiced there. |
| Juza | The same as us then. |
| Azami | And the Manager was able to hide it somehow. |
| Izumi | Fufu, seems like the revue will go smoothly too now! Let's keep this up, and do our best in the performance! |
| Banri | Let's show 'em who's the boss! |
| Autumn Troupe | Yeah! |
