| Misumi | Case closed~ ! Everything’s settled triangly~ ! |
| Chikage | You mean “roundly”. |
| Misumi | Yup, that~ ! |
| Chikage | I don’t give credit to you for acting this recklessly though. |
| Misumi | I’m really sorry… |
| Chikage | Did you have any reason wanting to help that person? |
| Misumi | … |
| … I have a little brother. |
| That’s why, when I heard the bag was a present from his little brother, I couldn’t leave him alone… |
| Chikage | … I see. |
| Misumi | I can’t meet him directly due to my family’s situation… but to me he’s an irreplaceable existence. |
| Just like those two you thought as “partners”, what Kei is to Arata… that kind of existence. |
| Chikage | ---- |
| Yeah. Must be the case. |
| Misumi | Hehe… thanks for watching over me, Chikage. |
| Chikage | … well, I’m the only one who can follow up with your recklessness. |
| Misumi | Somehow it looks just like Arata and Kei~ ! |
| Chikage | True you’re reckless just like Arata… |
| … it can’t be helped so I’ll be the one holding your rope, Misumi. |
| Misumi | Hehe, thanks! |
| Here you go! Proof we became partners! |
| Chikage | That wooden triangle… ? But isn’t that your precious belonging? |
| Misumi | You’re my partner so it’s a special case! |
| Chikage | … then I’ll gladly accept it. |
| |
| Izumi | That’s surprising! So something like that happened huh? |
| Itaru | I’m worried whether that thief is safe or not after that… |
| Chikage | I made sure he was safe and sound, all his two legs and two arms are still on. |
| … but really, Misumi’s so reckless I can’t leave him alone. |
| Izumi | (Hum? I feel like Chikage’s point of view on Misumi-kun has changed somehow… ?) |
| Itaru | Senpai, did you trigger some kind of event? |
| Chikage | Who knows? |
| However… I feel like I grasped the feeling a bit. |
| |
| Izumi | Alright, here we go for the first day performance! |
| Itaru | This feeling, it has been ever since KniRound… |
| Azami | Itaru-san, aren’t you being too stiff? |
| Yuki | You’re too nervous. You’ll forget your lines y’know? |
| Itaru | When I think about the kind of reaction it might trigger on the fans of the series, I can’t help but feel nervous… |
| Izumi | The production staff was impressed by your practice last time, it’ll be fine! |
| Sakyo | Ikaruga’s and Utsuki’s acting since then has improved. |
| Guy | Yeah, I also think so. |
| Misumi | Hehehe~ |
| Izumi | (That’s right, ever since that incident with the bag, I feel like the atmosphere between Misumi-kun and Chikage-san changed) |
| (It had a great influence of their acting as Arata and Kei) |
| Let’s do our best so the audience can enjoy it to the fullest! |
| Chikage | You’re right… Misumi, I’m trusting you with my back. |
| Misumi | Yeah! Let’s go, Chikage! |
