| Izumi | (I’ll be filming Summer Troupe today. First is the leading actor in Summer Troupe’s debut show, Tenma-kun.) |
| I’m coming in. |
| Tenma | Hey. |
| Yuki | Welcome. You’re here for the commemoration video, right? |
| Izumi | Yup. Yuki-kun is here too, huh, perfect timing. |
| Since Yuki-kun’s turn will be right after Tenma-kun’s, I’ll explain how the filming will be handled to both of you at once. |
| Yuki | I had actually planned on figuring out on my own, but I'll give it a listen for the crappy actor's sake. |
| Tenma | What did you say!? |
| Izumi | Okay, so… Basically, you’ll create commentary while watching video footage of the shows that you led. |
| Roll this dice, then choose a scene based on the topic that comes out. |
| After that, we’ll be filming the video message part. |
| Tenma | I see. |
| Yuki | Tenma will be filming first, right? Should I get out of the room then? |
| Tenma | You can stay as long as you keep quiet. I’ve already gotten used to being watched during filming, after all. |
| Yuki | Hmmm, fine. |
| Tenma | All right, I’ll roll the dice. |
| Izumi | The topic is… |
| Tenma | “Free”? |
| Izumi | That means... The topic will be chosen by the cameraman, a.k.a. me. |
| Tenma | Ugh… are you for real… |
| Yuki | Now that’s interesting. What topic will you choose? |
| Izumi | Let’s see… |
| Tenma | Hey, don’t choose anything weird, ‘kay?! |
| Izumi | Then I’ll choose… “High Praise”! |
| Tenma | Huh? High praise? |
| Izumi | Back during Summer Troupe’s debut show, you guys were all beginners in theater. There were a lot of times when your lack of experience showed. |
| Furthermore, Tenma-kun, at the time you still couldn’t be honest with them, right? |
| But right now you can praise them more, can’t you? |
| Tenma | Wha... |
| Yuki | I expected no less from director. You chose a good topic. |
| Tenma | Stop grinning! *sighs*, I should have made you get out of the room… |
| Yuki | It’s too late now. So? Which scene will you choose? |
| Tenma | I-I’m thinking it right now! |
| High praise, huh… Come to think of it, at that timeーー. |
| |
| Izumi | (This is the fourth day of our day showingーー.) |
| (In this scene, Sinbad and Alibaba summoned the Genie after snatching away the stolen treasure.) |
| Sinbad | “Let’s escape before those bandits noticed.” |
| “Cast a spell and open the rock door!” |
| Alibaba | “Yes! Open~... Sesame!” |
| Sinbad | “Those bandits can’t chase us all the way here. We’ve successfully escaped, Alibaba!” |
| Alibaba | “Yeah, and we got both the magic lamp and the bandits’ treasure!” |
| “All right then, let’s summon the genie right away. Come out, genie..!” |
| Genie | “Did you call me, my lord? ...Hmm? You look familiar. Where did we meet?” |
| “Hmmm, hold on, I’m trying to recall…” |
| “Oh, yeah, I remember. You were the guy who was attacked by the witch and the serpent. Your butt was on fire, and you got so panicked you almost cried.” |
| Sinbad | “Eh, seriously? ...Whoah…” |
| Alibaba | “I wasn’t on the verge of tears. Don’t exaggerate! Besides, it doesn’t matter now!” |
| Tenma | To tell you the truth, with my theater and drama jobs piling up, I wasn’t feeling good at that time. |
| Of course, I planned to act as usual so that the audience wouldn’t notice, but… |
| Muku and Misumi purposely made big movements on the stage in order to cover me up. |
| Seeing them like that, without realizing it, I put in an adlibーー. |
| Alibaba | “...You two sure are energetic, huh.” |
| Sinbad | “Well, I’ve been doing heavy labor and carrying stuff every day. This much is nothing~.” |
| Genie | “I’m a genie. I have immerse… oops, wrong word. I mean, I have immense power.” |
| Izumi | Those two could even come up with adlibs to respond to Tenma-kun’s mumble. Thanks to that, this scene didn’t look awkward at all. |
| Tenma | That follow-upーthe flashy movement and actionーcould only be done because Misumi and Muku are strong in the first place. |
| But that wasn’t all. Even Yuki and Kazunari covered me up by throwing in trivial adlibs and making changes in their movement. |
| Once the show was over, I learned that they apparently noticed I wasn’t feeling good and had a secret meeting to help me out onstage. |
| Izumi | I see, so that’s what happened. |
| Tenma | It was also because they had gradually gotten used to acting that they managed to do it. Their roles had been ingrained into their heads. |
| Moreover, during the final show, they threw in a lot of adlibs. |
| ...Their acting was far from good, but during this play, those guys were more composed than me. They were dependable. |
| Izumi | Tenma-kun… |
| Yuki | To think that crappy actor would be honest and praise us like this, gross. |
| Tenma | Hey, we’re still filming!! |
| |
| Izumi | That’s enough for the commentary part. Your high praise was perfect. |
| Yuki | The topic aside, that was gross. |
| Tenma | You…!! That’s the second time you said it!! |
| Izumi | Ahaha. |
| Well then, next is the video message. Can we continue filming like this? |
| Tenma | No. Get out, Yuki. You’re noisy. |
| Yuki | Haaah? But you said you didn’t mind just now. |
| Tenma | You distracted me with all that fuss! |
| Yuki | What a troublesome guy. Fine, fine, I’ll go outside. |
| Tenma | God… Well, let’s start filming. |
| Izumi | Okay. |
| |
| I’ve finished filming Tenma-kun’s part. You’re next, Yuki-kun. |
| Yuki | ‘Kay. |
| Tenma | You don’t have any problems with me being here, right? You stayed in the room when I was filming my commentary, after all. |
| Yuki | Are you planning to take revenge or what? ...But well, I don’t mind. |
| Izumi | Okay then, Yuki-kun, roll the dice. |
| Yuki | ‘Kay. |
| Izumi | The topic is, “Best Performance.” |
| Tenma | HAAH!? That’s unfair, you got a good topic! |
| Yuki | How childish, complaining to the dice. |
| Izumi | There, there. |
| Yuki | Best Performance, huh… Hm… |
| ...I think it’s that scene. |
| |
| Izumi | (This was from the fourth day of night showing, when Shiro’s group escaped the cat mansionーー.) |
| Mike | “So this is how the outside world looks like…” |
| Tama | “I’m nervous, but so excited at the same time!” |
| Shiro | “Okaay, let’s find the pawdines togewther~! Let’s go right meow~!” |
| Kuro | “Goodness, look at you. You were complaining about not being able to run anymore a while ago.” |
| Nora | “Haha, that’s just so Shiro to be like that.” |
| Shiro | “Meow, meow~, pawdines~♪ Going on an advenpurr with efurryone~♪.” |
| Tama | “Sar-di-nes~♪ The most valuable sardines~♪” |
| Shiro | “Hey, hey, mew’all, sing nyalong with us!” |
| Kuro | “I’ve got nyo choice, then…” |
| “Let’s go~ Find the~sardines~♪.” |
| Mike | “Our goal~is the fish~furrey~♪” |
| Nora | “I’ll find~the pawdines~and show mew~♪” |
| Izumi | No matter how many times I watched it, this adlib dance was so cute. |
| Yuki | That dance was actually inspired by Tama and Mike's dance during the curtain call. Kazunari came up with this so that it wouldn't be boring. |
| Tenma | Back then, you said something like, "How silly. I'm not doing it," right? |
| Yuki | The camera is still rolling, you know? |
| Tenma | Tch… |
| Yuki | But well, he's right. It was silly and embarrassing to do that, butーー. |
| By performing the dance, I could show the tails that I worked carefully on, as well as the back side of the costume. That way, the costumes shone even more. |
| That's why I chose this as our best performance. ...Besides, the audience was laughing. |
| Izumi | Yup. This scene was very well-received by the audience when I read the survey. |
| For me, it was a nice scene. Using your natural bright energy and adorable costumes, you guys were able to make use of Summer Troupe's weapon to the max. |
| Yuki | Well, I think that's all for the commentary. |
| Izumi | Okay! We're gonna film the video message next. |
| Yuki | Message, huh… Umm… |
| By the way, what did you talk about, crappy actor? |
| Tenma | Hmph, I'm not telling. |
| Yuki | What's with that smug face? I'm sure you didn't say something noteworthy. |
| Tenma | What did you say!? |
| Izumi | Uhh, let's start the filming now. |
| Yuki | Okay. But first… get out, crappy actor. |
| Tenma | Why? |
| Yuki | You're annoying. |
| Tenma | But I didn't say anything. |
| Yuki | Your presence alone is annoying. |
| Tenma | HAAAH!? |
| Izumi | Ahaha... |
| (This part of them hasn't changed since the beginning… But Summer Troupe isn't Summer Troupe without them bickering like this.) |
