| Misumi | Hey, just now, I saw a shooting star! |
| Muku | Oh! That's incredible! |
| Misumi | It was too fast so I couldn't say my wish. It should come again! |
| Muku | I wanna see! |
| Misumi | ...... |
| ...... |
| Muku | It's not coming, is it.... |
| Misumi | What~? Guess it'd need to be a meteor shower for that to happen. |
| Muku | Meteor shower? |
| Misumi | Soon, there's gonna be a meteor shower that only comes around once every few decades~. I wanna go see it with everyone in Summer Troupe! |
| Muku | I see, I wanna go too! |
| Misumi | But really, I just thought I'd be able to see the shooting star from before again~. |
| Muku | But even if there's no shooting stars, the stars in the clear sky are also beautiful. |
| Misumi | Yup! You can also see the Autumn Square,[1] and over there you can still see the Summer Triangle~. |
| Muku | I can. You know a lot about this, Misumi-san. |
| Misumi | I looked it up online~. |
| I didn't realize it myself, but it turns out I really like stars! |
| I like them more the more I learn about them, and watching them is even more fun. |
| Muku | Of course, the stars are beautiful just looking at them, but there are also stars associated with mythology and have different anecdotes. It's really interesting. |
| Misumi | Mhmm! |
| Looking from here like this is nice, but I wanna go stargazing in place where it looks even more beautiful~. |
| Muku | A place like on top of a small mountain where there aren't many lights around would be good. |
| Misumi | I wonder if there's a mountain like that around here~. And if I look at it from on top of a mountain, it's like I'm closer to the stars! |
| Muku | That'd be nice! When I look at the stars, I feel much better. |
| Misumi | ...Are you feeling tired, Muku~? |
| Muku | Honestly, a little bit... probably from too much studying. |
| Misumi | You're a hard worker, Muku—ah, that's right! |
| I got tickets for a Fuyou acting group's performance from Madoka! Let's go together, Muku! |
| Muku | (It's on a Saturday... even though I have cram school, if it's at this time....) |
| Since you both went to the trouble, I wanna go! |
| Misumi | That's great! Madoka also helps out with the scripts for these groups. |
| Muku | I can't wait. |
| |
| Misumi | Let's see, the how-to books are.... |
| Kazunari | It's unusual for you to want to come to a bookstore. |
| Misumi | There's a book about stars that Madoka told me about that I want~. |
| Kazunari | Is that so~? You said that you've been looking up stuff about stars recently. |
| Misumi | What are you looking for, Kazu? |
| Kazunari | Hmm, maybe I'll look at bit at the artbooks. |
| Misumi | Okay, meet up with you later then~. |
| |
| Misumi | (Gonna go check out at the register.) |
| ...Oh? |
| (Drama... performing arts... actors... there's lots of books about acting. I've never read any of these books before.) |
| (Is this the kind of stuff Banri studies at school~?) |
| Madoka | "I'm wondering, what kind of activities will you do, and what kind of actor will you become? I'm looking forward to it." |
| Misumi | (If I read these books, maybe I'll find out what kind of actor I should become~.) |
| (Also, if I look up more about acting, I'll love performing more and more!) |
| |
| Kazunari | Over here, Sumi! |
| Misumi | Sorry for keeping you waiting, Kazu~! |
| Ibuki | Hey there~.[2] |
| Misumi | Ah! It's Ibuki! |
| Kazunari | I ran into them all of a sudden~! |
| Ibuki | Nice meeting you all here. |
| Kazunari | Didn't think you were interested in books, Ibukichi. |
| Misumi | Do you like books? |
| Ibuki | I like manga more. I came today to buy this. |
| Misumi | A notebook? |
| Ibuki | For a bucket list. |
| Kazunari | Ah, everyone's been making one these days. |
| Misumi | What's that? |
| Kazunari | Put simply, it's a list of things you wanna do before you die. |
| It's the main theme of a movie, and the name comes from an English slang term for dying, which is "kick the bucket." |
| Ibuki | You can do it to your liking, and write down things you want to do as they come to mind. |
| Misumi | Could I write things like "I want to gather lots of triangles!" and "I want to be buried under triangles!"~? |
| Ibuki | Sure. Some people think seriously about their life plan and write it out, while some people make it more like a wish list. Every person is different. |
| Kazunari | What about you? |
| Ibuki | Well, I gotta start thinking about my future soon, so I thought I'd try doing this in addition. |
| Kazunari | I didn't take you to be someone who thought hard about these things. |
| Ibuki | Don't say that! |
| Misumi | But it seems fun~. |
| Ibuki | If you're interested, why not try it out? |
| Kazunari | A bucket list, huh.... |
| |
| Madoka | ...... |
| Muku | Oh... is that Madoka-kun? |
| Madoka | Ah... hi. |
| Muku | Hello. |
| Madoka | Are you heading back to the dorm? |
| Muku | No, I'm on my way to cram school. |
| Are you... heading to GODza Theater? |
| Madoka | Yeah. I have a meeting there. |
| Muku | —Oh, right. Misumi-san invited me to a Fuyou's acting group's performance. Thanks for the tickets. |
| Madoka | No problem. I'm glad he was able to find someone who wants to go. |
| Muku | You also help out with their scripts, right? |
| Madoka | Lots of things happened, and it just kinda ended up that way.... |
| It's a really historied group, but the member count has been dwindling and there aren't enough people, so I got recruited. |
| Recently there's been a few more members so it's a bit more lively, so people are looking forward to the performance. |
| Muku | I see. |
| (applause SFX) |
| Young Man A | Thank you! |
| Young Man B | Thank you very much! |
| Muku | ? |
| (...They're doing a street act over there. The applause and crowd are incredible.) |
| Madoka | Ah, those people are from the Fuyou acting group we were just talking about. |
| Muku | What?! Really? |
| Madoka | The guy standing in the middle is the next lead actor. |
| I think he's a first year. He's been doing theater since high school, so he's very good. |
| Muku | Is that so.... |
| Madoka | He kind of gives the same feeling as you, Muku. |
| Muku | R-Really? |
| Madoka | Yeah, I'm not sure how, but... when I first saw him, I had the impression that he was someone soft and gentle. |
| Muku | ...... |
| Madoka | Ah, sorry, I have to head to my meeting soon. |
| Muku | No, I'm sorry for holding you up. |
| Madoka | I hope you enjoy the performance. |
| Muku | Thank you. |
