Izumi | You really made a dazzling mess. |
Misumi | Cleaning up was a lot of work~. |
Kumon | I’m glad the paint came off the walls and the floor, but still, if Sakyo-san finds out, we’re in trouble. |
Kazunari | He probably wouldn’t forgive us until every speck of paint was gone. |
Yuki | Or maybe we’d be gone. |
Tenma | Make sure you wash the rags—don’t leave a trace of evidence, okay!? |
Muku | I’m sorry we used up your supplies, Kazu-kun. They’re so expensive…! |
Kumon | Really!? |
Kazunari | Ahaha, it’s fine~. I’ll have Tenten go shopping to restock whatever we used. |
Tenma | Why just me!? |
Kazunari | Haha, just kidding. |
Yuki | ...Looks like you’re back to your usual self. |
Kazunari | Eh? |
Yuki | Who was the one going, “save me~”? |
Kazunari | Ah… Yeah. Thanks. |
Misumi | Kazu was saved~! |
Izumi | Fufu. |
| |
Cat | Nya~. |
Misumi | You’re right~. We can’t see it because it’s cloudy today~. |
Kazunari | ...Whew. |
Misumi | Kazu? |
Kazunari | —Woah! The view is amazing! |
Misumi | Right~? |
Cat | Nya~. |
Kazunari | Ah, the cat left. Sorry for interrupting~. |
Misumi | Kazu, what’s wrong? You usually don’t come up here. |
Kazunari | I came to say thanks for today~. |
Misumi | Ah, a triangle onigiri! |
Kazunari | It’s a special Sankaku-kun style onigiri! I used seaweed and vegetables to make the face and arms and legs~. |
Misumi | Wo~w! Thank you! |
Kazunari | Ehehe, no, thank you. |
Misumi | Kazu, I’m glad you’re smiling. |
Kazunari | Eh? |
Misumi | Because you’re my friend, Kazu. A precious and special one. |
Kazunari | …. |
Misumi | ...You know, when the weather is nice, you can see the big triangle stars from here. |
Kazunari | The Summer Triangle? |
Misumi | Yup~. |
Kazunari | We saw it together during Summer Troupe’s Third Performance~. |
Misumi | Yup. We can’t see it today, but…. |
Kazunari | It’s too bad. |
Misumi | But we might be able to see it tomorrow. Just like your paintings, Kazu. Even if you can’t paint today, you might be able to paint tomorrow. |
| That’s why it’ll be okay. |
Kazunari | ...Yeah. Thanks, Sumi~. |
Misumi | There there~. |
Muku | Achoo. |
Kumon | Woah, the onigiri’s gonna fall! |
Yuki | Hey, stop making so much noise! |
Tenma | They’re gonna notice us! Shh! |
Kazunari | Guys…? |
Kumon | Hehe, we brought some onigiri too! |
Muku | My heart feels really warm when I eat onigiri! |
Misumi | Yeah…! |
Tenma | Hey, move back and make some space. |
Yuki | There’s space over there. |
Tenma | You’re telling me to fall off! |
Kumon | Okay, itadakima~su! |
Muku | Itadakimasu! |
Misumi | Delicious~. |
| “The best part about being a ninja is getting to relax in places like this~. Right, Kii-chan?” |
Kazunari | Huh!? |
Tenma | That came out of nowhere!? |
Misumi | “Also, you can use the art of camouflage to run away when you get the walls and floor dirty.” |
Kazunari | “Oh, mood~.” |
Tenma | “You guys aren’t using your ninja skills for any good!” |
Muku | “Sigh~. That’s why you’ve been stuck as a mid-level ninja forever, Yoshimaru.” |
Yuki | “I can see why he keeps failing his missions.” |
Kumon | “Goodness! I’ll need you to carry out my missions properly!” |
Misumi | Thanks for the meal~. It was delicious~. |
Tenma | You’re done with this already!? |
Kumon | That was fast! |
Tenma | But your Kiichi just now was your best Kiichi yet. Yoshimaru, too. |
Kazunari | Hehe. |
Misumi | Ehehe~. |
Kumon | We were right, Kazu-san is perfect for Kiichi! |
Muku | Yup yup! |
Yuki | You’re better than Useless. |
Tenma | What do you mean, better than me!? |
| ...But I want Kazunari to play Kiichi too. |
Kazunari | Tenten…. |
Tenma | I want to see how your Kiichi will influence the rest of us in Summer Troupe, Kazunari. |
| There has to be a Kiichi that only you can play. |
Kazunari | …. |
Tenma | That being said, if we add up the time we spend on every performance—one hundred and some minutes per performance—it wouldn’t even amount to a few days’ worth of time. |
| If you have to choose between those few hours and studying abroad to help you in the future, of course you’d choose the latter. |
| You won’t come across this opportunity many times. I know that, and you guys all supported me when I had the chance to be in that movie. |
| I didn’t regret my choice thanks to everyone here. That’s why you should treasure your own feelings too. |
Kazunari | My own feelings…. |
| (Treasure “this very moment in time”....) |
| ...You’re right. |
| (Not for my future. What do I want to treasure most right now?) |
| (If I’m being true to my feelings so I don’t regret it later…. Then I already have my answer.) |
Misumi | Kazu…? |
Kazunari | ...You know, I just couldn’t paint lately. |
| Up till now, even if I had trouble coming up with designs, there was never a time that I couldn’t paint. |
| I couldn’t figure out why that was happening, but I think I know now. I didn’t want to paint. |
Muku | ...You didn’t want to? |
Kazunari | I thought that if I finished my painting, I couldn’t go back anymore. |
| I think something inside of me said that painting would mean choosing art over this performance. |
| That means that I’ve already made a choice, right? My feelings chose for me. |
| Everyone, I’m sorry for making you worry about me. And thank you for giving me the push I needed. |
| Can I make one selfish request? |
Tenma | What is it? |
Kazunari | ...I want to do fireworks! After the final performance is over! |
Yuki | Fireworks…? |
Tenma | After the final performance…? |
Kumon | Does that mean you’re going to act!? |
Muku | Are you sure, Kazu-kun!? |
Kazunari | Yeah! |
Misumi | Kazu…. |
Tenma | So that’s the answer you chose. |
Yuki | Sounds good to me. |
Misumi | Let’s do our best together~! |
Kazunari | Yeah! |
