| Hisoka | ...Thank you very much. |
| Chikage | Thank you very much. |
| Kumon | Thank you! |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| |
| Izumi | Good work everyone! |
| (I’m glad we were able to put on the last mixed troupe play’s final performance without any problems!) |
| (These cross-troupe plays provided everyone with good experience and were a great success.) |
| Yuzo | Hey. |
| Izumi | Ah, Yuzo-san, you came to watch! |
| Yuzo | You got some interesting members for this one too. |
| Hyodo Jr., your role may have been written for you, but your honest and pure side was shining with a clear conscience. |
| Kumon | Really!? Yay! |
| Yuzo | As for the older brother — Moran lives in a grim world, but you clearly showed that he’s hiding light within him. |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Yuzo | It’s not just the Hyodo brothers, but the lead actor and the co-lead are basically alike at the core too. You can really tell when they act side by side. |
| Izumi | (Now that you mention it, Tsuzuru-kun also...) |
| |
| Tsuzuru | All right, I’ll try adding more to Watson and Moran’s characters. |
| Izumi | Okay. Sorry about that. |
| Tsuzuru | No, don’t be. They may have opposing roles, but Juza and Kumon are still brothers and like two peas in a pod; it’d be better to bring out that side of them. |
| Come to think of it, Chikage-san and Mikage-san too... |
| Izumi | ? |
| Tsuzuru | Mikage-san actually said he wanted to be a traveller who’s searching for the perfect marshmallow, the Ultimate Marshmallow. |
| Apparently he held back because he didn’t want to give me trouble. |
| Izumi | Ultimate Marshmallow — I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before... |
| Tsuzuru | Yup. It reminded me of Chikage-san saying something about the Ultimate Curry. |
| Those two are a sweet tooth and a spicy tooth — they’re polar opposites, but they’re still like two peas in a pod. |
| That’s why I thought that Holmes and Moriarty’s relationship suits them well. |
| |
| Izumi | (Hisoka-san and Chikage-san do resemble each other after all.) |
| Yuzo | Whether it’s on purpose or not, everybody lives while hiding something. Their real nature, their thoughts, their affection towards someone. |
| But when they act, the things they’re hiding just come out naturally. |
| It’s the most obvious with Hisoka and Chikage. |
| That aspect of yours came to life in your acting as Holmes and Moriarty; they’re both characters who have something up their sleeves after all. |
| It’s an act that only you guys can pull off. It was great. |
| Hisoka | ...Thank you. |
| Chikage | It’s not often we get praised. |
| Yuzo | Your true nature shows even though you’re playing a part — it may be ironic, but that’s what makes acting interesting. |
| Izumi | I agree. |
| Yuzo | I guess you’re done with the mixed troupe plays now. |
| Izumi | Yes! All of the troupe members have performed in one. |
| Yuzo | Once again, the reborn Mankai Company is a gathering of weirdos. |
| They looked unified and well-organized when the troupes were established, but you can really tell how weird they are when you mix them up like this. |
| Izumi | Is that so? |
| Yuzo | Well, I guess the first generation don’t have room to talk... We were mismatched, had a lot of conflict, and we fought a lot too. |
| But we treasured our companions, and more than anything, we loved acting and this troupe. No different from these guys. |
| Izumi | (Yuzo-san is looking nostalgic with a gentle expression.) |
| (The first generation members, huh... I can’t remember anything from when I met them personally, but I wonder what kind of people they are.) |
| |
| Izumi | Once again, good work with the sixth mixed troupe play! |
| Hisoka | Good work. |
| Chikage | Good work. |
| Kumon | Good work! |
| Juza | Good work. |
| Kumon | I’m sitting next to nii-chan! |
| Sakyo | So you’re done with avoiding him. |
| Kumon | Hehe~! |
| Omi | Juza, I made muffins, tarts, and pudding. |
| Juza | ‘Kay. |
| Banri | You’re piling way too much on your plate. |
| Sakyo | It’s the result of his abstinence from sweets. |
| Izumi | The two of them worked hard after all. |
| Hisoka | ...Zzz. |
| Azuma | I guess Hisoka is exhausted too. |
| Chikage | This is just the usual for Sleepyhead. |
| Kazunari | Is Hisohiso withdrawing from the darts tournament? |
| Sakuya | He can always participate when he wakes up, can’t he? |
| Kazunari | Okay, then we’re starting the troupe versus troupe darts tournament! Each person gets three throws, then the troupe with the highest number of total points wins! |
| Sakuya | The team in last place will have to help the manager for a week! |
| Manager | We’ll be pulling as many weeds around the the dorm as we can~! |
| Yuki | I’d really rather not. |
| Tenma | Let’s win this. |
| Taichi | I’ll do my best! |
| Kazunari | First round: Spring Troupe versus Summer Troupe~! |
| Tsuzuru | Who’s going first? |
| Sakuya | I’ll go! |
| ... |
| Chikage | It’s better if you don’t put too much strength into it. |
| Sakuya | Okay! |
| Citron | Good luck! |
| Sakuya | —— |
| Kazunari | 7, 15, and 13. 35 points! |
| Sakuya | I’m sorry, all I got were singles... |
| Tsuzuru | Nah, that’s good enough. |
| Masumi | Not bad for Sakuya. |
| Itaru | Our team has a trump card, so don’t worry about it. |
| Yuki | For Summer Troupe, our leader can go first too. |
| Tenma | Right. |
| Muku | Good luck Tenma-kun! |
| Misumi | You can do it~! |
| Tenma | —— |
| Sakuya | 18, double 1 which is 2 points, and triple 1 which is 3 points. 23 points! |
| Tenma | 1...! |
| Yuki | That actually takes skill. |
| Kazunari | Tenten, nice control! Next time you should aim for the high numbers! |
| Itaru | For Spring Troupe, I guess Masumi will go next. |
| Masumi | Fine by me. |
| —— |
| Sakuya | Wow! Bullseye three times in a row! |
| Kazunari | 50 points x3.150 points! |
| Masumi | This much is easy enough. |
| Tsuzuru | He really is skilled. |
| Kazunari | Next up from Summer Troupe is Yukki! |
| Yuki | —— |
| Sakuya | 14, 12, and 13. 39 points! |
| Yuki | Well, that wasn’t so bad. |
| Muku | It’s a high score! |
| Kumon | Yuki, you’re good! |
| |
| Sakuya | The last one to go from Spring Troupe is Chikage-san. |
| Citron | Introducing our trump card! |
| Itaru | Here comes a guaranteed win. |
| Chikage | Can you not get your hopes up too much? |
| —— |
| Kazunari | Triple 20 x3. 180 points! |
| Izumi | Amazing! |
| Tsuzuru | He got the highest possible score so easily; it’s just what you’d expect. |
| Itaru | Amazing. |
| Chikage | Thanks. |
| Tenma | Last one from Summer Troupe is Misumi. |
| Muku | Please do your best! |
| Kumon | Sumi-san’s athletic too, so he won’t lose to Chikage-san! |
| Yuki | As long as it doesn’t involve triangles. |
| Tenma | The target is a circle so it should be okay. |
| Misumi | Here I go~ |
| A triangle and~ Another triangle and~ Triangle! Yay! I got them all in the triangles! |
| Tenma | Oi! |
| Kumon | Those are singles so the scores aren’t high at all! |
| Misumi | They’re triangles though~? |
| Yuki | This is hopeless; we were guaranteed to lose as of the rules. |
| Sakuya | 3 points x3. 9 points! |
| Kazunari | Spring Troupe got a total of 456 points, and Summer Troupe got 285 points! Spring Troupe wins~! |
| Citron | We did it! |
| Sakuya | We won! |
| Kumon | We lost~! |
| Yuki | We’ll be fine as long as we’re not in last place. |
| Kazunari | Yup yup, let’s do our best in the next round! |
| Next up, Autumn Troupe VS Winter Troupe! |
| Banri | You’re all okay with me going first, right? |
| Taichi | Good luck, Ban-chan! |
| Banri | Piece of cake. |
| ——Hup. |
| Kazunari | 50 points x3. 150 points! |
| Azami | They’re right in the middle. |
| Taichi | A high score, just what you’d expect! |
| Sakyo | He’s skilled as always. |
| Tsumugi | I guess I’ll go first too, as the Winter Troupe leader. |
| Guy | Agreed. |
| Azuma | You can do it. |
| Tsumugi | —— |
| Kazunari | 20, 9, and 11. 40 points! |
| Tasuku | That’s not bad. |
| Homare | It’s plenty. |
| Juza | I’m going next. |
| Banri | That’s not something you should say with muffins in your hands! Do it after you eat! |
| Taichi | Ah, then I’ll do it first! |
| Aim, and—— |
| Ahh! |
| Kazunari | 0, 20, and triple 5. 35 points! |
| Omi | You had good aim. |
| Banri | Not bad. |
| Taichi | Uu... I missed one~ |
| Azuma | Tasuku, why don’t you go next? |
| Tasuku | Fine by me. |
| —— |
| Kazunari | 15, 11, and 18. 44 points! |
| Tasuku | Well, it’s good enough that I didn’t miss. |
| Tsumugi | I think it’s a good score. |
| |
| Taichi | Last one from Autumn Troupe is A-chan! |
| Azami | But wait, aren’t we gonna lose for sure? Hisoka-san’s next. |
| Sakyo | You don’t know that yet. It’s possible that he wouldn’t wake up and would have to withdraw. |
| Hisoka | ...Zzz. |
| Azami | I’d hope so—— |
| Kazunari | Double 13, 15, and 12. 53 points! |
| Guy | Mikage is the last one from Winter Troupe, but is he waking up? |
| Tsumugi | Hmm, I don’t think it’s going to happen. |
| Hisoka | Zzz... |
| Homare | I anticipated this would happen, so I prepared some special marshmallows! |
| They’re limited-edition rich milk honey marshmallows. Now, open your eyes, Hisoka-kun! |
| Taichi | Ahh! If you use marshmallows that smell that good, then...! |
| Hisoka | ...*munch* |
| Tasuku | There was no way he wouldn’t wake up. |
| Homare | Now, throw your darts! |
| Hisoka | —— |
| Kazunari | Triple 20 x3. 180 points! |
| Juza | He still has that accuracy while he’s eating marshmallows. |
| Omi | He’s fearsome. |
| Azami | There’s no way we can win against that. |
| Kazunari | The totals are~ Autumn Troupe got 312 points, and Winter Troupe got 443 points. Winter Troupe wins! |
| Homare | All right, we won! |
| Tasuku | We’re strong with Mikage on our side. |
| Sakyo | I guess we’ll be betting on third place playoff. |
| Banri | Right. |
| Kazunari | Okay, I’ll leave the announcing to you, MC Sakusaku! |
| Sakuya | Yes! Next up, we’ll start the third place playoff with Summer Troupe VS Autumn Troupe! |
| Tenma | Muku, we’re counting on you. |
| Muku | O-okay! |
| U-uuumm, first is the stance, awawawa... |
| Kumon | He’s super nervous! |
| Yuki | Calm down. |
| Muku | E-ei! |
| Sakuya | 0, 18, and 20. 38 points! |
| Muku | Uwah! I’m sorry!! |
| Misumi | No worries, no worries~ |
| Kazunari | We’ll turn the tables in the second half! |
| Omi | I guess I’ll go next. |
| Taichi | Omi-kun, good luck! |
| Sakyo | Let’s rack up points steadily. |
| Omi | I’m not very good at things like this. |
| —— |
| Sakuya | 12, double 15, and 18. 60 points! |
| Taichi | Amazing! |
| Omi | It was a fluke. |
| Kazunari | I’m going next! |
| Misumi | You can do it~ Kazu! |
| Yuki | We just have to avoid last place. |
| Kazunari | Ok~! Let’s take it ea~sy! |
| I think I’m in peak condition~! |
| Sakuya | 50, 13, and 11. 74 points! |
| Kumon | Right in the middle. Wow! |
| Tenma | Now we’ve racked up a lot. |
| Taichi | We gotta do our best too! |
| Juza | We can’t lose. |
| Sakyo | I guess I’m next. |
| Banri | Sakyo-san’s usually throwing sharp things around anyway. We got this. |
| Sakyo | Like hell I am. |
| ... |
| Sakuya | 0, double 15, and 0. 30 points! |
| Taichi | What!? He missed!? |
| Banri | Are you not feeling well? |
| Sakyo | My glasses aren’t in the best condition. |
| Banri | Please say that sooner! |
| Tenma | This is our chance. |
| |
| Kumon | Last one from Summer Troupe is me! |
| Muku | Good luck, Kyu-chan! |
| Azami | The brothers are against each other. |
| Kazunari | Same as their roles in the mixed troupe play. |
| Kumon | I won’t lose, nii-chan. |
| Banri | The little brother’s being unusually competitive. |
| Sakyo | They contended against each other on stage as equals too, after all. The big brother can’t let his guard down. |
| Juza | Kumon, I’ll also give it all I’ve got. |
| Kumon | Yeah! |
| —— |
| Sakuya | 20, 20, and 18. 58 points! |
| Kumon | Uu, I couldn’t get a double! |
| Kazunari | That’s all good! |
| Misumi | Kumon, you did your best~! |
| Juza | ...All right. |
| Banri | You better not lose. |
| Juza | Of course I won’t. |
| —— |
| Sakuya | 0, 0, and double 14. 28 points! |
| Taichi | Huh!? What’s wrong!? |
| Omi | Juza isn’t doing so well either. |
| Banri | Talk about no control!? |
| Juza | My stomach feels kinda tight and that threw me off. |
| Banri | You ate too much sweets! |
| Sakyo | I didn’t think his abstinence from sweets would backfire this much. |
| Azami | So the little brother won their match. |
| Juza | You’ve grown, Kumon. |
| Kumon | Hehe. |
| Banri | Play it off all you want, but you really just ate too much. |
| Sakuya | Announcing the results! Autumn Troupe has a total of 305 points, and Summer Troupe has 309 points. Summer Troupe wins! |
| Kumon | Yay! We won! |
| Sakyo | It was a close fight. |
| Tenma | That was close. |
| Azami | We’re gonna be pulling weeds, huh... |
| Omi | We’ve got no choice. |
| Kazunari | Okay, at last, it’s time to start the final round between Spring Troupe and Winter Troupe! |
| Citron | I’m going first! |
| Hoi, swish swish! |
| Kazunari | 50, 50, and 20. 120 points! |
| Tsuzuru | Getting such a high score while yelling that is just not right. |
| Itaru | He’s high-spec as usual. |
| Tsumugi | Guy-san, we’ll be counting on you next. |
| Guy | Got it. |
| ... |
| Kazunari | Double 10, 50, and 50. 120 points! |
| Citron | So the useless one challenges me. |
| Guy | It was a coincidence. |
| Itaru | I guess I’m up next. |
| Tsuzuru | You just have to hit the target! |
| Chikage | Even just one point is a score. |
| Itaru | Are you making fun of me? |
| Doesn’t matter though—— |
| Kazunari | 0, 0, and 15. 15 points! |
| Itaru | Well it’s in the double digits, which is amazing. |
| Citron | It’s not 0. You did your best! |
| Masumi | Such a low goal. |
| Chikage | Didn’t you practice darts? |
| Tsuzuru | You said you couldn’t come because of work, so he quit. |
| Chikage | Really? |
| Itaru | Yup, yup. It’s senpai’s fault that I still suck. Nothing I can do about it. |
| Masumi | Unbelievable. |
| Azuma | I’ll throw next. |
| Tsumugi | Please do your best. |
| Azuma | Well, I’ll just wing it. |
| —— |
| Kazunari | 18, 15, and 20. 53 points! |
| Azuma | That wasn’t so bad. |
| Homare | A great score! |
| Tsuzuru | Okay, I’ll throw next. |
| Sakuya | Please do your best! |
| Itaru | Go make up for what I lost. |
| Tsuzuru | Please don’t pressure me! |
| ——Hup. |
| Kazunari | 18, 20, and double 10. 58 points! |
| Sakuya | It’s amazing that you hit a double! |
| Tsuzuru | It would’ve been better if I doubled a higher number though. |
| Itaru | Not bad, I guess? |
| Chikage | You’ve got no room to talk. |
| Homare | I shall throw next. |
| I came up with a magnificent pose. Here I go—— |
| Tsumugi | Er, it might be better if you throw normally—— |
| Homare | Hah! |
| Kazunari | 0, 0, and 20. 20 points! |
| Homare | I suppose it needs improvement. |
| Tasuku | You definitely should’ve just thrown it the normal way. |
| Hisoka | ...That was terrible. |
| Homare | You are awake only during times like this! |
| Itaru | Don’t we have a shot here? |
| Tsuzuru | True, we can probably recover from Itaru-san’s score. |
| |
| Sakuya | The last one is Chikage-san! |
| Itaru | Our safe tile. I’ve set it up, so I’m leaving the rest to you. |
| Chikage | Well, I’ll just do it like usual. |
| —— |
| Kazunari | Triple 20 x3. 180 points! |
| Tsuzuru | You really don’t miss. |
| Citron | A cheat! |
| Itaru | Just what you’d expect from senpai. So reliable. |
| Chikage | Geez, you’re in good shape. |
| Azuma | The last one from Winter Troupe is Hisoka. |
| Tasuku | We’re counting on you to make up for Arisugawa’s score. |
| Hisoka | What a pain. |
| ... |
| Kazunari | Triple 20 x3. 180 points~! |
| Tsumugi | Hisoka-kun never misses either. |
| Kazunari | Time to announce the results~! Spring Troupe got a total of 452 points, and Winter Troupe got a total of 452 points! |
| Tsuzuru | An unexpected tie? |
| Azuma | What do we do in case of a tie? |
| Itaru | Sudden death? |
| Kazunari | Hm~ How ‘bout a sudden death between two representatives? |
| Citron | The Spring Troupe representative will be Chikage, of course! |
| Guy | For Winter Troupe, it’s going to be Mikage. |
| Chikage | We can finally finish our game from the other day. |
| Hisoka | ...I won’t lose. |
| Chikage | ... |
| Hisoka | ... |
| Izumi | Neither of them are missing though... |
| Sakuya | This went on for five hours last time, if I remember correctly. |
| Kazunari | I wonder how long this one’ll take? |
| |
| Chikage | Shouldn’t you be running out of marshmallows by now? |
| Hisoka | ...I can eat while throwing. |
| Omi | This is never-ending. |
| Sakyo | Are you planning to do this all night? |
| Yuki | We should probably put in some kind of irregular component. |
| Tenma | True. At this rate they wouldn’t mess up for their whole life. |
| Banri | Which reminds me, if last place gets a punishment game then do the winners get something? |
| Sakuya | Nothing has really been decided for that. |
| Kazunari | Let’s give them some kinda prize! It might motivate them more. |
| Muku | A prize? |
| Kazunari | Well, since the ones in last place gotta help the manager, then for the winners... |
| Izumi | Huh? Me? I wonder if I’ve got anything that would be considered a prize... |
| Itaru | A date, maybe. |
| Masumi | I’m gonna participate too. |
| Tsuzuru | You’re on the same team as Chikage-san! |
| Izumi | What if I make super spicy curry? |
| Tasuku | That would be a punishment game for Mikage. |
| Tsumugi | No matter what food you choose as the prize, it’ll be a punishment game for one of them. |
| Izumi | Hmm, what if we meet in the middle of their favourite things... |
| Citron | I know! Marshmallow-flavoured curry! |
| Chikage | ...Strongly rejected. |
| Hisoka | ...I don’t feel like doing it anymore. |
| Juza | They both missed. |
| Taichi | What happens to the sudden death round if they tie with zero points? |
| Kazunari | They keep going? |
| Izumi | So they’ll keep going after all!? |
