| Tsuzuru | We’re home. |
| Kazunari | We’re hoooome! |
| Izumi | Welcome home, you two! You went to meet a teacher from high school today, didn’t you? |
| Kazunari | Yep yep! It was fun catching up~ |
| Tsuzuru | Uh, Director. Speaking of our alma mater, there’s something I wanted to discuss with you… |
| Izumi | What’s the matter? |
| Tsuzuru | Fuko High, the school Miyoshi-san and I went to, would always host a Setsubun Festival school event even back in the day. It’s the kind of event where school members can choose to participate or not. |
| Izumi | Ohh? It’s rare to see people make activities based on Setsubun. |
| Tsuzuru | Right? But apparently, there’ve been fewer and fewer people joining the event in recent years, so it hasn’t been as lively as it used to be… |
| So, the teacher we met up with today is the advisor of the theatre club there. |
| I suggested that the theatre club could make a play to help liven up the coming festival, but there’s one problem with the current theatre club right now, and that’s— |
| |
| |
| Kazunari | What sort of problem? |
| Kuraki | You see… While there were a good amount of members during your school years, now there are only two members in the club. |
| Kazunari | Eeehh!! |
| Tsuzuru | Since when… |
| Kuraki | Students these days have all their different interests and diversities, so there’s no helping the student body would split between so many choices. |
| I’m sure the two members would love to go forth with your proposal, Minagi, but… |
| As it is, getting everything ready— the script, the outfits, and even the props… It’d be too difficult to manage on their own. |
| Tsuzuru | Script, outfits, and props, huh…. |
| But with what you’re saying, if preparations can be done, then it’ll be possible for you guys to perform a show? |
| Kuraki | Well… Yes, it could be possible in that case. |
| Kazunari | Tsuzuroon, are you thinking of consulting Director-chan for this? |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
| …Kuraki-sensei. Could you please give the play proposal more of your consideration? |
| I’ll be willing to lend a hand, and if my consultation with our Director goes well, maybe I can get the rest of our troupe to help out too. |
| Kuraki | Minagi… |
| Tsuzuru | …Ah, sorry, I know this is all way too sudden, so…. |
| Kuraki | No, I’m elated. If it ends up being possible at all, then by all means. |
| |
| |
| Tsuzuru | ——And that’s the gist of it. |
| Izumi | I see… |
| Tsuzuru | I know I’m asking all of this out of my own selfish interests, but… |
| I just have a sure feeling that those two members would want to stand on stage really badly. That’s why I want to give them as much assistance as I can. |
| Please, Director. Can I ask for everyone’s help on this? |
| Izumi | (Fuko High’s theatre club…If I remember correctly, it’s the club that Tsuzuru-kun went into as only a temporary member…) |
| (I’m sure it’s also because of that, he wants to try and properly contribute something to them now…) |
| Kazunari | Director-chan. I feel the same way as Tsuzuroon. If there’s anything I could do for my alma mater and its theatre club, I want to give a hand as well. |
| It’s even possible that with the help of the Setsubun festival play, the students who have had an interest in theatre might also get motivated enough to enter the club… So, please! |
| Izumi | I understand. |
| Besides, it’s not as selfish of a request as you two might think. After all, you two just want to give back to your alma mater in the end, right? |
| Tsuzuru | So you mean… |
| Izumi | Of course! If I really can give a hand, then you guys have my full support on this! |
| Kazunari | Yippeeee! |
| Izumi | I’ll have to go over it with Sakyo-san too, but I doubt he’d have any objections to it, so please tell everyone else about the proposal. |
| Tsuzuru | Director…! Thank you very much!! |
| Kazunari | Director-chan, many thanks!! |
| Izumi | My pleasure— |
| *DOOR OPENS* |
| Citron | Directoooor~! |
