Chikage<<Yeah. Progress has been smooth on this side. We’ll carry it out two days in advance; the plan is to get it done before retrieving the list.>>
<<What? Tell them that rewriting the data will cost them extra. ——I’ll get back to you regarding the evidence for that one.>>
<<...By the way, what happened to the data I asked for? ...Yeah, that’s fine. Send it soon. ...Bye.>>
...
*knock*
IzumiYes?
*door opens*
TsuzuruDirector, I’m done with the plot, so can you look over it?
IzumiYou’re done already. That was fast.
TsuzuruI made Sherlock Holmes the theme for this one.
IzumiOhh, that’s something we haven’t done before!
TsuzuruActually...
TsuzuruYes?
*door opens*
Hisoka...
TsuzuruOh, Mikage-san.
Hisoka...I thought of a request.
TsuzuruReally!?
HisokaI want to become something I don’t want to be.
Tsuzuru...Huh?
HisokaI’m satisfied with my current self, and I want to cherish it. I want to act as “someone I don’t want to be” on stage so that I won’t forget those feelings.
TsuzuruI-I see...?
What’s that “something you don’t want to be”?
Hisoka...Having a dangerous job that works back to back with crime, or a corporate slave who doesn’t spare any time to sleep because of work, or someone doing a secret job that makes enemies.
TsuzuruR-right. Anyway, I’ll give it some thought.
HisokaOkay.
Izumi(Not sparing any time to sleep and doing a secret job — that’s like Chikage-san...)
TsuzuruI was wondering what type of character that would be, but I thought of Sherlock Holmes from the key words ‘crime’ and ‘work’.
IzumiI see.
TsuzuruIt’s catchy enough as a theme, but I’m thinking of putting a little twist.
Instead of a buddy thing with Holmes and Watson, I focused on Holmes and Moriarty being archenemies.
IzumiHmm...
TsuzuruSo, I’m a little torn on the casting.
With what I have in mind right now, Kumon and Juza will be on opposing sides, and that might disappoint Kumon.
Izumi(With the current casting, the duos will be Hisoka-kun and Kumon-kun, then Chikage-san and Juza-san.)
I don’t think we have a choice based on the script.
TsuzuruWell, there’s actually another reason why I went with this casting...
Tsuzuru...And that’s why.
IzumiI see.
TsuzuruIt’s difficult though.
Izumi...Then, how about this?
Tsuzuru?
Hisoka...A full moon.
...
(The same moon from that night...)
Chikage——Oi.
Hisoka——
ChikageIsn’t it a little too late for an afternoon nap?
Hisoka...Moon-viewing. Tsumugi and Misumi got me to tag along.
ChikageWhere are they?
Hisoka...They said they’re getting dango.
ChikageHow carefree.
Hisoka...Why are you here?
ChikageI saw you from below.
Hisoka...That’s it?
ChikageYeah.
Hisoka...
Chikage...That night, did you see anyone?
HisokaThat night——...
ChikageNo, never mind.
Hisoka...Why.
ChikageIt’s nothing.
Hisoka...
ChikageForget it.
Hisoka...Fine.
Welcome back.
ChikageYour timing’s off. ——I’m home.
Hisoka...
Chikage...
TsuzuruWhat do you think?
Mikage-san is Sherlock Holmes, and Chikage-san is his archenemy, Professor Moriarty.
Kumon is Holmes’ partner, Watson. Juza is Professor Moriarty’s subordinate, Moran.
KumonSo nii-chan is my enemy...
IzumiYes, but Watson is in a situation where he leaves a huge impact on Moran.
Juza...You don’t like it, Kumon?
KumonNah, it’s okay. Tsuzuru-san’s scripts are interesting, plus Watson and Moran’s exchanges look difficult, but I’ll do my best!
IzumiI’m glad to hear that.
HisokaIt’d be such a pain having an enemy like Chikage.
ChikageThat should be my line. But anyway, are we going to be okay with Sleepyhead here as the leader?
IzumiWell, he’s had leadership experience from the sixth Winter Troupe performance!
HisokaI’ll leave the troublesome aspects to the co-lead.
ChikageOi...
Izumi(Looks like I won’t have to worry about their combination.)
TsuzuruI made it so that Watson’s age fits Kumon, and I changed Moriarty’s character from the original novel a little; in some ways I made the roles fit you.
Holmes is the protagonist, but at the Director’s suggestion, I also depicted other relationships aside from Holmes...
I’d be happy if you keep that in mind.
Hisoka...Okay.
ChikageGot it.
IzumiOkay guys, make sure to read the script well before practice.
Juza‘Kay.
KumonOka—y!
