| Kasumi | Here’s some tea. |
| Izumi | Thank you very much! |
| (Kasumi-san told me he had something he wanted to talk to me about, so here I am in Nadeshiko Publishing… I wonder what it is he wants to discuss though.) |
| Kasumi | Shall we move on to the main subject for today? |
| Izumi | Yes, of course. |
| Kasumi | So then, our web publications of “Spotlight” featuring MANKAI Company had quite the response in the past. |
| We received a lot of feedback requesting to do more of the special feature. |
| Thus, we hoped to put together more of the series with your troupe. |
| Izumi | No way, really!? |
| The honor would be ours. We’re thankful for the opportunity. |
| Kasumi | I’m glad to hear that then, Director. |
| However, we have a different goal in mind for this special feature series compared to the last one. |
| Izumi | What kind of goal…? |
| Kasumi | One of MANKAI Company’s secrets to building their performances is by living together to form relationships with each of the actors, isn’t it? |
| … What I’m proposing for this special feature is to hear about the stories of those very relationships. |
| In other words, we want to know about the stories of their beginnings and how they’ve been built up to the present and feature them. |
| Whether it’s relationships of members from the same troupe or those that formed even beyond them— any of them would be just fine… But what do you think? |
| Izumi | That would be interesting, you’re right! I think it’d be a good idea. |
| Kasumi | Great! Then we can talk about which groups to decide on in addition to our discussions for today, would that be fine? |
| Izumi | Of course. Thank you again for having me. |
| Kasumi | The pleasure’s mine. |
| Izumi | (Relationships that go beyond the regular troupes, huh… There are a lot of groups that could fit that description alone.) |
| (Getting to know what influence those bonds had on them too... This will be exciting!) |
