YukiUnderstood.
IzumiYe―s.
ItaruGood work―.
CitronGood work dayo.
IzumiAh, everyone came to support us.
YukiTha―nks.
TsuzuruHeh, so those are the costumes for this play, huh. It's really different from your usual design.
CitronIt looks a little bit like a horned owl[1] costume.
ItaruTribal costume.
SakuyaThe pattern is really impressive. I think it'll also shine on stage!
YukiObviously. I'm――we're the one who made it, after all.
TsuzuruWe?
KazunariYukki....!
IzumiYuki-kun made this design together with Kazunari-kun, see!
KazunariWe made an amazing design unit, didn't we!
Yuki――.
KazunariYou avoided my hug...!
YukiYou'll erase my make up.
KazunariYukki~...!
ManagerEveryo―ne! It's about time for the performance!
KazunariOkay, let's form a circle!
Yuki.....
TenmaWhat are you staring at? The leader this time is you, see.
KazunariYukki, let's do that!
YukiShould we really do that?
KazunariOf course!
TenmaHurry up.
YukiI'll proceed, then?
――Nyummer Troupe, fight―! Nya―!
TenmaNya!?
KazunariNya―!
MukuNya, nya―!
MisumiNya~!
TenmaWhy do we have to shout something so embarrassing....
YukiI've told you that I would proceed, right?
Izumi.....
(In the corner of a world where cats live, there is a small town―― The story begins from here, huh.)
Nora"Somewhere in this world, it seems there's a treasure that will make any cat melts in just one bite."
"It is called.... "Sardines"."
Shiro""Shardines"..."
Kuro"It's "sardines"."
Shiro""Shardines"."
Kuro"Shiro, try saying naninuneno."
Shiro"Nyanyinyunyenyo."
Nora"Shiro is weak at Na sets as usual, huh."
Izumi(Muku-kun said that he used Juza-kun as a reference, but his aura has drastically changed, really.)
(He looks fluffy, so the mismatch suits the world's view. It gives off a nice athmosphere.)
Shiro"I'm nyot nya! Don't say that nya!"
Nora"See?"
Shiro"Unyanya...."
Izumi(On the contrary, I can't imagine Yuki-kun acting like that in reality. He's stupidly cute...)
(But If I tell him that, he would get angry and tell me to shut up...)
Kuro"So where is this treasure at?"
Nora"I don't know. But it seems there's a place called "Human World"."
Kuro"Wait, What is "sardines" anyway? Is it meat? Fish? Or fruit?"
Nora"Or it could be a cat of matchless beauty who will make any cat melts down."
Shiro"A beautiful cat!? I want a bride nya!"
Kuro"It's still too early for you. You can't even get your own food."
Shiro"But I want to meet Shardines-chan nya! I'll get her sign nya!"
Nora"Well, to be honest, I think it's a food."
Kuro"A treasure that will make any cat melts in just one bite, huh.... I wonder how delicious it is. Well, it doesn't matter to us――"
Shiro"I'm getting tired of eating small fish everyday nya! I'll go find the "shardines" nya!"
Kuro"Oi, oi, are you for real..."
Shiro"If Kuro won't come, Shiro will find it alone nya!"
Nora"Don't do that. If Shiro goes alone, you'll starve to death in the next day."
Kuro"You couldn't get out of town before. You got your head stuck in the town's sake cask and couldn't get out the other day!"
Shiro"Don't expose me nya!"
Nora"Let's head for the "Fish Valley" first. It is said that the "sardines" is there."
Shiro"I knew where "Fish Valley" is nya!"
Kuro"Huft.... "Fish Valley" it is."
Izumi(Kuro and Nora can't help but being worried of Shiro, so they decided to go on an adventure with him.)
(In the middle of their journey, the cats arrive at a world paradise, a cat mansion...)
Kuro"Hey, we're looking for "sardines". Do you happen to know it?"
Mike""Sardines"? Tama, do you know it?"
Tama"I don't know nya~"
Nora"We heard that it's located at the "Fish Valley"."
Mike"We've been living here since birth. We don't know a thing about the outside world."
Kuro"You've been living here all this time!? Then, you never go hunting?"
Tama"The senior cat here always gives us food whenever we're hungry, so there's no need to go hunting."
Izumi(Mike and Tama are steady. Their breathing matches perfectly. They give off the feeling of relax and carefree house cats.)
(As I thought, the costumes are shining on stage. Their mantles are flapping when they move around, it gives a light impression of cats.)
Mike"The senior cat? Well, we've never seen the place where he usually hunts. I wonder how he gets the food."
Kuro"It's strange, you know. You can't get food if you don't hunt."
Nora"I think he has an ulterior motive."
Mike"But you don't have to do anything if you stay here. You get food if you're hungry, and you can sleep if you're sleepy."
"Do you have any complaint about this paradise-like place?"
Kuro"That is...."
Shiro"This place doesn't have shardines nor venture nya!"
Izumi(After listening to what Shiro says, Mike and Tama start thinking about their comfortable life and feel uncomfortable with the cat mansion...)
Tama"I envy you. I want to go on an adventure too."
Mike"But we've never gone outside, you know."
Shiro"You can go out, nya! Let's go find "shardines" together nya!"
Mike"But nya...."
Tama"Okay! I'll go search the "sardines" with you guys too!"
Mike"Are you sure, Tama?"
Tama"Mike should go as well."
Mike"It can't be helped nya..."
Izumi(Determine to go on an journey, Shiro and the others leave the cat mansion secretly.)
(The owner of the cat mansion is actually an evil cat who likes to collect cats. It turns out that he creates a prison in order to collect cats.)
(The five of them managed to safely escape from the pursuer cats....)
Tama"Huft... Huft..."
Shiro"Huft, huft... I'm also at my limit nya... I'm a shelter cat, so it can't be helped nya..."
Kuro"You're not a shelter cat! That's why I always tell you to practice hunting more seriously, right?"
Shiro"Kuro is as noisy as usual nya."
Izumi(Since Shiro is a carefree cat, Kuro feels like his big brother. Those two made a nice combi.)
Shiro"Because Kuro keeps scolding me, I've become stressed and my fur turned pure white nya..."
Tama"Eh!? Is that so?"
Mike"So that's why your fur colors are different..."
Kuro""His fur is naturally white!"
Audience APft.
Audience BPfft.
Izumi(Yes, this is good. The audience gives a nice reaction. If this goes on until the end, they'll be fine――)

Notes

  1. the Japanese word for "tribal" is "minzoku", and Citron mispronounces it as "mimizuku/horned owl".
