Izumi | We're supposed to be having a closing party for the anniversary performances but… nothing is ready. Did the manager skip out on his work… |
| Maybe I'll prepare something simple before everyone returns. |
??? | ~♪ |
Izumi | …? This is… the BGM that plays whenever Chris sings in Le Fantôme de l'Opér. |
| Where is it coming from…? |
| |
Chris | … |
Izumi | Ah… Tsumugi-san? |
| (When did he get back? More importantly why is he wearing his Chris costume…?) |
Chris | "Good evening, lovely lady. It is unfortunate, but I must go to the theater" |
| "—then, we shall meet again" |
Izumi | Ah, wait… |
Ivan | "—look out!" |
Izumi | Eh!? This time it's you Banri-kun!? |
Ivan | "Hanging out here so defenseless even though it's night time… you wanna be eaten by an undead!?" |
Izumi | "Eh!?" |
Ivan | "Whatever, just follow me!" |
Izumi | W-Wait just a moment--! |
| |
Ivan | "I'll go take a look outside. You hide here… that is, if you don't want to get eaten" |
Izumi | …um… am I dreaming. |
| *steps* |
| --! |
| (C-Can it be the undead…!? No, can’t be…) |
??? | "Hey" |
Izumi | Gyaa--!! An undead!! |
??? | "Who the hell is undead!?" |
Izumi | …e-eh!? Tenma-kun!? |
Inoue | "Huh? My name is Inoue" |
| "Why did you enter my home without permission. I'm going to a match right now so you get out too!" |
Izumi | Eh…? Your home you say, but here is— |
Inoue | "No questions, here we go!" |
| |
Izumi | Say Tenma-kun… I mean Inoue-kun. What am I supposed to do now--. |
| E-Eh? He isn't here… What is going on? |
??? | "Is something wrong?" |
Izumi | Sakuya-kun… or not, Rick!? |
Rick | "? Why do you know my name? C-Could it be! You are a magician--?" |
Izumi | Y-You're wrong…! Hmm, what should I do in this situation… |
Rick | "Um… are you troubled about something?" |
Izumi | Let's see… strange things keep happening one after the other like a storm… so I'm a bit confused… |
Rick | "I see now! Then, I'll take you to somewhere nice!" |
Izumi | Somewhere nice? |
Rick | "Yes! A wonderful place that is capable of creating magic" |
| |
Izumi | MANKAI Theater… |
| Eh? Speaking of which Rick you… he isn't here. |
| I don’t know what’s going on anymore… let's just get inside for now. |
| |
| (There's one seat with the spotlight on it… should I just sit there…?) |
| |
Manager | --Welcome. |
Izumi | --Manager? |
| |
Tsumugi | Fufu, it's a great success. |
Banri | Yup. I mean this much is a piece of cake. |
Tenma | It was worth preparing it all. |
Sakuya | Yeah! I'm glad we did it! |
Izumi | (They're high fiving each other… they look happy, but what exactly is…?) |
| |
Manager | --Director, thank you so much for rebuilding MANKAI Company to its current state. |
| For me, MANKAI Company is the greatest theater, capable of delivering smiles and deep emotions to all--. |
| It gave me hopes and dreams… it is a magical place. |
| Thanks to you Director, we were even able to hold an anniversary event like back in the day. |
| |
Izumi | Manager… |
Manager | Today… I wanted to thank you, so I got all the leaders to cooperate, and we prepared this stage. |
| Our feelings of gratitude, each one of us will send them to you in the form of a flower. –please accept them! |
Izumi | …Eh? |
Guy | I was just an android without emotions, but you gave me plenty of emotions, you gave me acting, and for that I'm grateful. |
| Director, please take care of me from now on as well. |
Izumi | …thank you, Guy-san. |
| I'm happy that you grew to like acting—and that you're showing all kinds of emotions! |
Azuma | Director, you worked hard in our second year too. Thank you for everything. |
| Thanks to you Director, I found a precious treasure. I'll treasure it forever, so please look after me too. |
Izumi | Thank you very much, Azuma-san. Azuma-san's treasure is a treasure for me too! |
Homare | Thank you for all you have done, Director-kun. I shall present you with a gratitude filled poem--. |
| Our dreaming, your energy… when they resonant it is destiny…! |
| The sparkling you is MANKAI'S sanctuary!! Lalala, every day merci! |
Izumi | Fufu, your feelings really got across Homare-san! Thank you for the wonderful poem. |
Hisoka | So they got across… |
| …Director, thank you for everything. Our naps together, the marshmallow cocoa you made for me--. |
| Now I have many warm memories with you. I want to keep making new memories with Director and with the other members. |
Izumi | Yep, you're right, Hisoka-san. In our third year too, let's perform, and do many fun things—and make new memories with everyone! |
Tasuku | Director. Thank you for introducing me to a place where I can perform… and to guys I want to perform with. |
| --performing is the greatest thing there is. I feel it strongly whenever I'm standing on top of this stage. Please let me perform here from now on too. |
Izumi | Thank you so much, Tasuku-san. I love the Tasuku-san the stands on MANKAI Theater's stage the most! |
Tsumugi | The blooming flowers in our garden, speaking about silly things with the others, performing with Winter Troupe, looking at Director's smile--. |
| Every single one of these fills me with happiness. Thank you so much for these irreplaceable days, Director. |
Izumi | Same here, thank you Tsumugi-san. Tsumugi-san's acting and flowers, they fill me with happiness. |
Azami | That woman is crazy, for accepting the runaway son of a yakuza… is what I thought but--. |
| I think that everyone and myself included were saved by this personality of yours. I'm going to do my best, as a makeup artist of course… and also as an actor. |
| So… I'm in your care from here on too. |
Izumi | Fufu, I'll make you fall in love with acting even more, just watch! Thank you for always helping with the makeup, Azami-kun. I'm expecting things from you from now on too! |
Sakyo | Including what happened with my group, so many things happened in our second year… we didn’t have the leisure to get emotional but--. |
| The second year is just the beginning. We're going way higher, Director-san. …I am not the only who thinks this way right? |
Izumi | Obviously! I believe we can climb way higher. Sakyo-san, let's do our best from here on too! |
Omi | Director, thank you for everything you did in the second year too. From now on as an actor, and as the Company's cook… |
| I'll keep devoting myself to the company, it's my happiness. Please let me take pictures of everyone's smiles in our third year too. |
Izumi | Thank you, Omi-kun. Let's not stop at smiles, and include also angry faces and crying faces, let's not miss on any opportunity to record our memories. |
Taichi | Director-sensei! Thank you so so much for making my dream of playing as a lead role come true! |
| But I'm a glutton, so I want to climb even higher! Please take care of me as I keep evolving! |
Izumi | Thank you. You can get so much bigger as you're now, Taichi-kun! Next time, I'm sure I'll see you standing proud as the lead role. |
Juza | I was able to make comrades here, and acting is fun. I'm very grateful to you Director… it's impossible to describe just how much. |
| I'm still clumsy and my acting is still inexperienced but… step by step, I'll keep slowly moving forward. So please watch me, Director. |
Izumi | Juza-kun… Thank you. Yeah, I'm watching you closely—so keep on acting with everyone. |
Banri | Thank you for everything, Director-chan. I joined a theater company, enrolled into university—so much new things to realize. |
| To be frank, I've got many things I'm frustrated about but… more than that I'm having fun, or like, I'm feeling complete? |
| I'll show my fine acting in our third year too, so please take care of me. Director-chan. |
Izumi | …Banri-kun, you're becoming more and more reliable. Please keep learning many new things, and show me lots of your acting. |
Kumon | Director! Since I've joined the Company, every day is so much fun, I… I…! |
Muku | Kyu-chan, relax…! |
Kumon | --Hyodo Kumon of the Summer Troupe! I will not lose to myself anymore! Here I swear that I'll continue to laugh with my friends and stand on the stage! |
| Director, please watch me as I keep pitching with everything I've got in the Summer Troupe! Please take care of me! |
Izumi | Kumon-kun… because Kumon-kun overcame so many things and joined the Summer Troupe, the Summer Troupe became stronger and stronger. Thank you. |
Kazunari | Director-chan, thanks for everything~! I love your cute smile, and your strength to support us! |
Masumi | --this guy! |
Tsuzuru | Masumi! You'll get your turn too! Ah~ Miyoshi-san, please continue! |
Kazunari | Because everyone likes you, loves you, and believes in you we can give our best shot. |
| So Director-chan, you can be selfish sometimes too. |
Izumi | Kazunari-kun… thank you. Then, can we have a curry week starting tomorrow? |
Tenma | Huh!? |
Izumi | Fufu, I'm just joking. |
Yuki | You were totally serious. |
Kazunari | Ahaha! I like how you never weaver too! |
Misumi | Next is my turn~! Along with this flower, I'll give you this big Triangle-kun! |
Izumi | Woah! Such a huge stuffed doll…! |
Misumi | You see, I was able to find sooo many precious triangles here. Thanks to Director-san. Thank you. |
Izumi | Misumi-kun, thank you! Let's continue looking for wonderful triangles together! |
Muku | This year has passed by so fast… It was very fun. Thank you so much, Director-san. |
| I don't know if I got any closer to the ideal prince… I'll believe in myself and do my best with the Summer Troupe! |
Izumi | Muku-kun, thank you. I certainly think that you're getting closer. Let's do our best from now on too. |
Yuki | Making costumes, acting… the second year was also very fulfilling. …thanks, Director. |
| My costumes and acting still have much more room for growth. I'm not satisfied with the current state, so keep your expectations up for the third year too. |
Izumi | Thank you! Of course I believe that you'll show me even more wonderful things. |
| I want you to keep showing me your costumes and acting. |
Tenma | The second year flew by so fast… With Kumon joining, I think both our liveliness and power have increased. |
| As an actor, I'm still aiming for even greater heights. I'll polish my skills, and keep striving. |
| Summer Troupe will fire things up in our third year too, so keep up with us. |
Izumi | Thank you. From now on, show me more sides of Tenma-kun and the Summer Troupe. Let's continue to aim for the highest of places together. |
Chikage | I have a seed here. I'm going to cover it with this handkerchief… Director-san, try removing it. |
Izumi | --Woah, it's changed into a flower! Amazing! |
Chikage | Until just a while ago, I never thought I would possibly perform such a snobby magic in order to make someone happy. |
| …I'm happy I've returned to this "home" with you. Thank you, Director-san. |
Izumi | Chikage-san… thank you so much. I'm also happy I was able to come back here "together with Chikage-san". |
Citron | Director, now that I've started walking on a new road, I'll work even harder. Take care of me. |
Banri | Oh, it was normal surprisingly? |
Citron | I own a debt of seafood! |
Tasuku | It's the usual Citron. |
Tsumugi | Umm, I owe you a debt of gratitude, I believe…? |
Izumi | Ahaha, Citron-kun, thank you! I'm happy to be able to walk together with you on your new road! |
Itaru | I've had some hard times, but I also had many good experiences. …I was able to see lots of Director-san's smiles too. |
| I can't believe it's the second anniversary… thank you, Director-san. Let's play thrilling new games together again. |
Izumi | Thank you very much, Itaru-san. I want to go on adventures with you again and again. |
Tsuzuru | In our second year I wrote so many plays, acted, it was so much fun. In this one year, even more precious stories grew inside me… |
| And the only one who can make them reach others, is without doubt you, Director. I'll keep doing my best, so take care of me . |
Izumi | Thank you. I'm looking forward to see the worlds you create with your stories every performance more than anyone! |
Masumi | …Director. It's just one flower, but I put so, so many of my love in it. |
| I want to be together with you forever. So marry--. |
Tsuzuru | It's not the time to be proposing here! |
Izumi | T-Thank you, Masumi-kun. |
| Many things have happened but… thank you for treasuring acting and your family. |
Sakuya | …Director! |
Izumi | Sakuya-kun--. |
Sakuya | Thank you so, so much for the past two years! |
| Because you're here Director, I am able to make smiles bloom when I'm on stage. |
| Because Director watches over us closer than anyone, and waits for us at the wing of the stage… |
| …from now on, make us bloom to the fullest! |
Izumi | --. |
| --of course! Guys, take care of me from now on too! |
