Tsuzuru | For me? |
Izumi | It's a fanletter. |
Citron | Ohh! From a girl, right? Tsuzuru, nice! |
Tsuzuru | ...... |
Izumi | Please read it. |
Tsuzuru | Ah, sure...... |
| ...... |
| ――. |
Izumi | (I wonder if Tsuzuru-kun knows who the sender is.) |
Citron | Tsuzuru, your face is busy being both smiley and teary! There must be a beautiful girl's photo and contact details written there. |
Tsuzuru | You're wrong! |
Izumi | Also, there was this with the letter ――. |
Tsuzuru | A bouquet of dandelions......? |
Citron | Ohh! A young girl, hm! Flan and withers of no edges![1] |
Izumi | Could you mean, men and women of all ages? |
Tsuzuru | I told you you're wrong. |
| Director, did you meet with the sender? |
Izumi | Yes. I suggested they meet with you directly, but they said they couldn't because they were ashamed. |
| I suggested they at least send a letter. |
Tsuzuru | I see...... |
Izumi | Did their feelings reach you? |
Tsuzuru | ......They did. |
| Even if you're apart......huh. |
| After receiving a letter with such heart in it, I'll have to answer with the script. |
Izumi | Yeah. |
Citron | Work hard, Tsuzuru! |
Tsuzuru | Sorry for being late. I can finally feel something take shape. |
Izumi | It's okay. The troupe I was in often still wouldn't have the script ready three days before the opening performance. |
Tsuzuru | Ehh? |
Izumi | You're always a model worker, so it's fine to have this happen once in a while. Don't worry about not being in good condition. |
Citron | Tsuzuru, we're all waiting patiently! |
Tsuzuru | Thanks. |
Izumi | With that said, it's important to keep to deadlines as professional. Write an ending that both you and everyone else accept as worth the delay. |
Tsuzuru | Yes! |
Izumi | (Tsuzuru-kun's eyes are flooded with motivation. It kind of reminds me of when he was writing Romeo and Julius......) |
| ......I'm really glad that I decided to believe in you right back at the start, when I asked you to write the script for Romeo and Julius without any prior experience. |
| Now, so many fans are keenly awaiting Tsuzuru-kun's scripts like this. |
| It's a great privilege that we're able to read your new scripts first. |
Tsuzuru | I'll definitely respond to their expectations. And I'll work hard as the leader this time. |
Izumi | Yes! If it's you, you'll definitely be able to make something great. |
Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
| |
Masumi | It's a full house. |
Sakuya | Exciting, isn't it! |
Itaru | This makes the Spring Troupe's third play. I might feel a bit more comfortable than usual. |
Citron | I'm looking forwards to it! |
Tsuzuru | ......I'm as nervous as I was during the first play. |
Sakuya | Ehh!? Are you alright!? |
Citron | At times like these, take cheap breads! |
Tsuzuru | Eh? |
Itaru | Deep breaths, I think...... |
Tsuzuru | I see!? |
Sakuya | It'll be fine, Tsuzuru-kun! Your script is awesome to the very end! |
| I'm getting impatient wanting to hurry up and show the audience! |
Tsuzuru | Sakuya......thanks for the direct praise. |
Itaru | You can do things as you like. |
Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
Masumi | You think too much. |
Tsuzuru | ......Maybe. |
| ......Alright. Let's go, everyone! |
| |
Izumi | ...... |
| (Thick smoke rises from a small workshop in a back alley. Coughing violently, the alchemist Luke mutters, It's ready......) |
| (The moment he calls the name 'S', the young man before him opens his eyes......) |
Luke | "I've finally done it......You're my first friend, S." |
S | "Friend? Master? You're my friend, Master?" |
Luke | "That's right, S. Let's shake hands. This is a human greeting." |
| "We put our hands together like this." |
S | "Hands, together......" |
Luke | "Are you left-handed, S?" |
S | "Right......" |
Luke | "Well, if it's your left hand, the left is fine." |
S | "Left." |
Luke | "No, if you don't put out the same hand you won't make a handshake." |
S | "......" |
Luke | "You don't have to put out both hands." |
Audience A | Pfft. |
Audience B | Hehe. |
Izumi | (The dialogue between Luke and S, who can't put out his hand properly for a handshake. Thanks to their manzai practice, the tempo's improved a lot from when they first started.) |
Luke | "Let's both put out just our right hands." |
S | "Right." |
Luke | "Yes, this is a handshake." |
Izumi | (S is stronger than a human and breaks everything he touches. Luke patiently teaches him how to live.) |
Colt | "Hello, Sir! Huh? Did you get a new student?" |
Luke | "Hey, Colt. This is S. He's my friend." |
Colt | "Ehh!? You've got friends when it's normal for you to hole yourself up and not talk to anyone for a month!?" |
Luke | "How rude. Even I have at least one friend." |
S | "Friend." |
Colt | "Hello, S. I'm Colt! Nice to meet you!" |
S | "Yes." |
Colt | "Owowowow! My hand's going to break!!" |
S | "Handshake." |
Luke | "That's too much power, S." |
