| Izumi | (Phew! I'm glad the phone call finally ended. Thanks to the chairman for interrupting those two. ) |
| (Let's move to Taichi-kun's filming.) |
| *door opening* |
| Taichi | Director-sensei! I've been waiting for you. |
| Izumi | Glad you're finally back from shopping. Is Omi-kun with you? |
| Taichi | I went ahead of him. He said he's gonna shop for other stuff. |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Taichi | Speaking of. Director-sensei, there's something I wanna show you. |
| Izumi | Something? |
| Taichi | Yup! Ah, but I'll show 'em to you after the filming. |
| Izumi | Got it. Let's start the filming then. |
| Let's choose the topic by rolling this dice. |
| Taichi | Yosh ! Cool topic--- come please ! |
| mumumu... There ! |
| Izumi | Your topic is.... |
| Taichi | "Story of failure"? |
| Uwaah.. It's not even cool to talk about my failures! If anything, I wanna talk more about my success ! |
| Izumi | Now, now, don't worry about it! Failure is the mother of success, you know! |
| (I hope that encouraged him even a bit) |
| Taichi | Director-sensei, that might be true ! Failure is part of Nanao Taichi's road to perfection ! |
| Izumi | That's the spirit! |
| Taichi | Failure, huh. To be honest, I've made a lot of failure on stage. I wonder which one.. |
| Hmm.. Ah! That one! |
| *Beep* |
| Izumi | (4th Day of the Performance. The part where Chan and Yun challenged Qi Long after going through intense training) |
| Chan | "Ha ! Yaah! " |
| Yun | "Kuaa! Ha! ha!" |
| *hit* |
| Qi Long | "Tch ! Insolent brats ! Don't get too big for your britches!" |
| Yun | Let's go, Chan ! |
| Chan | "Let's do it ! " |
| Chan and Yun | "Ha! Ha! Yaah!" |
| Izumi | (The three of them is fighting on a narrow stage but they're utilizing the space really well.) |
| (Somehow, Taichi-kun seems to be more enthusiastic than usual.) |
| Taichi | Then on the climax, while doing coordinated attack scene, I kinda... ran longer than usual. |
| |
| Chan | "Take this ! Soul's Strai ---Uwah !" |
| Yun | "Haa?" |
| Audience | Ahahahahah |
| Yun | "Seriously? Falling here of all places." |
| Chan | "I-I-I did that on purpose ! I just want to show you what I can do!" |
| Qi Long | "...Ngh,, this is my opportunity." |
| Yun | "Don't let him escape, Chan! " |
| Chan | "Let's finish him off, Yun! " |
| Chan | "Take this-- soul's strainer! " |
| Yun | "Soup of life!" |
| *hit* |
| Qi Long | "Guaaaahhh!" |
| Yun and Chan | "Coming right up! Here's your lamian!" |
| Izumi | Thankfully, the adlib worked well and made everyone laugh but be careful next time. The actor's safety is always our top priority. |
| Taichi | Huhu, I'm sorry ! |
| Actually, my family came to watch the performance that day so I was more enthusiastic than usual. |
| My sister was so focused on watching A-chan so I was a bit frustrated. I wanted to look cool and tried to show off but I failed in the end. |
| Izumi | So that was it. |
| Taichi | I thought it's embarrassing that I got too caught up with my enthusiasm and messed things up. |
| But after the performance, my sister came up to me and praised me. |
| I think my family will praise me regardless. |
| Izumi | I wonder if that's the case. |
| I mean, it's true that you made a mistake on stage but the way you stood up again and got back in dignified manner is also really cool. |
| Taichi | Hehe, thank you, director-sensei. |
| I'm going to be stronger and cooler. Enough to beat everyone in Autumn Troupe! |
| Izumi | Message part is also finished. |
| Taichi | Good work! |
| ahh, wait. Could you edit out this part? |
| Izumi | (Taichi-kun never changed. I think it's a good part about him too.) |
| *knock knock* |
| Izumi | I came for the filming. |
| Juza | I'll be in your care. |
| Izumi | Oh, did Banri-kun went out? |
| Juza | Didn't see him. He probably went to the stylish cafe close to game center. |
| Izumi | (I was going to ask him why is he wearing Blood's costume earlier... I can leave that for later. For the time being, let's focus on the filming.) |
| To start, let's decide the topic by rolling this dice. |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Ah. |
| Izumi | It hit the wall and stopped diagonally. |
| Juza | It's between " A scene that gave you goosebumps" and "free". |
| Izumi | I think it's leaning towards "A scene that gave you goosebumps" but... |
| (It's the same topic as Banri-kun) |
| ( They might end up fighting about it like Azami-kun and Sakyo-san earlier) |
| Let's see. How about let's choose the one that hasn't came out for Autumn Troupe yet? Let's go for "free". |
| Juza | Understood. Director will decide for the topic, right? |
| Izumi | Yup. The topic for your commentary will be... |
| "Most passionate moment". |
| Juza | ....Most passionate moment.. |
| Izumi | Blood didn't show much emotion in the first place... |
| At that time, you're more focused on the role than usual and didn't spoke that much. Rather, you lead the entire Autumn Troupe with your acting. |
| ...That is the image you showed as a lead actor. |
| Juza | 'Yeah. |
| Izumi | As everyone said in the interview, you have a burning passion for acting. |
| But when was your most passionate moment during performance? |
| Juza | Is it a question for me or for Blood? |
| Izumi | It's all up to you to answer. |
| Juza | ..... |
| If I have to choose, it is that scene-- |
| *Beep* |
| Izumi | (Finale Performance. The scene where Blood and Huey cornered the terrorist, Dust) |
| Blood | " Ha !!" |
| *hit* |
| Huey | "Fuah! Ha!" |
| *hit* |
| Dust | "Tch!" |
| Blood | "Don't let him escape!" |
| Dust | "Haa ! You're just a scoundrel trying to act like a hero!" |
| Dust | "I bet you can guess it already! I'm better than one or even two of you combined!" |
| Dust | "You think a scoundrels like you can catch me?" |
| Blood | "...!" |
| Izumi | (Banri-kun adlibed. It's like he's trying to provoke Blood. Like, he's trying to provoke Juza-kun himself) |
| (Huey gently placed his hand on Blood's trembling shoulder.) |
| Huey | "You know it yourself. You're not like that." |
| Blood | "... " |
| Blood | "Haa!" |
| *hit* |
| Dust | "Urgh..!!" |
| Izumi | (Blood pummeled Dust shaking off Huey's hand) |
| ( It's so powerful. Dust was able to get away but what would've happened if it wasn't Banri-kun? ) |
| Blood | "Ha !" |
| *hit* |
| Huey | "Blood, he went this way!" |
| Blood | "..!" |
| *hit* |
| Blood | "Don't move!" |
| Dust | "Kuh !" |
| |
| Juza | After hearing Settsu's adlib, I got caught up with the heat. The only thing in my mind that moment was, even if it'll cost my life, I'll definitely catch him. |
| I don't know if those thoughts are Blood's or mine... Probably both. |
| Izumi | (The relationship between those two is really interesting. I'm sure they will continue to improve along side each other.) |
| Thank you for your commentary. It's perfect. We'll film the message part next. |
| Juza | 'kay. |
| Izumi | Good work! Let's wrap up the filming here. |
| Juza | Good work too, director. |
| Izumi | Speaking of, I saw you wearing Blood's costume earlier. Where did you go? |
| Juza | ...! You saw me...? |
| Well, I... |
| *door opening* |
| Omi | Are you done with the filming? |
| Izumi | Yup. We finished just now. |
| Omi | Thank goodness. I came at the right time. |
| Juza | Omi-san.. That's.. |
| Omi | I tried making no-bake sweets. Would you like to try them? |
| Izumi | Wow, they look delicious! |
| *door opening* |
| Taichi | Director-sensei! Have you finished the filming? I brought the ones I told you a while ago. |
| Ja-Jan ! I bought the sweets we saw on Inste today. I want everyone to try it so I brought A-chan with me! |
| Azami | So you went shopping with Miyoshi-san? The colors and shape of the sweets are so elaborate. |
| Izumi | That's true ! Those sweets are so cute! |
| *door opening* |
| Sakyo | Oi, have you seen bon? The chairman told me to keep the sweets as souvenirs from my trip. We have enough to share with everyone. |
| What? You guys are here too? |
| Taichi | Sakyo-nii, did you bring sweets too? |
| Omi | Haha, what a coincidence. |
| Juza | Actually, me too. |
| Azami | A box of doughnuts? |
| Juza | Yeah, limited flavors are on sale so there's long queues in front of the store. I don't want to stand out so I thought I'd borrow Blood's parka but it's troublesome so I ended up just wearing the whole costume. |
| Izumi | So that's why you're wearing the costume earlier. |
| Azami | It's the opposite. You'll attract more unnecessary attention with that outfit. |
| Izumi | ( Banri-kun was right. Juza-kun went out to buy some sweets) |
| *door opening* |
| Banri | Haa? What's everyone doing here? The room's cramped and noisy. |
| Omi | Ah, Banri. Welcome home. |
| Sakyo | Oi, Settsu. The bag you are holding. Don't tell me... |
| Banri | Got it from the game center's crane. I thought I'd try it once in a while, but I won a large amount. |
| Taichi | Could it be, Ban-chan brought sweets too? |
| Azami | This room reeks with sweet smell already. |
| Izumi | So, you went to the game center. |
| Banri | I originally planned to go to the cafe I was interested in but they were closed today. I ended up going to the game center to kill time. |
| Izumi | (Stylish cafe near the game center... That's exactly what Juza-kun said) |
| Juza | Why are you laughing? |
| Izumi | No, it's nothing. Well then, to celebrate today's filming.. Let's dig in! |
| Taichi | Yay ! Let's start Autumn Troupe's sweets party! |
