Little Muku | Look at this, Kyu-chan! |
Little Kumon | Amazing! Did you make this, Muku? |
Little Muku | Yes! I still have to make things like an observation tower or a garden, though… |
Little Kumon | Let me help you! |
Little Muku | Shall we make an observation tower, then? |
Little Kumon | Yeah! I’ll add a cannon. |
Little Muku | I’ll make an arbour in the garden. |
Little Kumon | It looks like a real castle a lot. |
Little Muku | I want to be a prince-like man in the future. |
Little Kumon | Prince-like, you say…. What kind of prince-like guy? |
Little Muku | Someone who is really cool and sparkling, and then--really kind. A beautiful man who is loved by many. |
Little Kumon | ….Huh? That is--. |
Little Muku | Ah! It’s mom! |
| Mom, look at this! |
| |
Coach | “I’m counting on you for the short-distance one. You’re our ace, after all.” |
Manager | “Good luck, Kisaragi-kun!” |
Kisaragi | “Yes!” |
Izumi | Ah~. Today’s episode was interesting, too. |
Tsuzuru | This drama has a good plot. |
Kumon | I wonder what will happen next? |
Manager | “Is Kanzaki-kun really coming back?” |
Kazunari | It’s here, it’s here! Will the rival make their appearance!? |
Izumi | So the rival is coming out in this part, huh~! |
Kanzaki | “Ace? You must be kidding me. You can’t even break my record.” |
Misumi | Ah~! It’s Tenma~! |
Izumi | You’re playing the rival, Tenma-kun!? |
Tenma | Well, yeah. |
Muku | Amazing! Tenma-kun really fits the role of Kanzaki! There’s this scene that I really like--. |
Yuki | Do you know what will happen after this? |
Kazunari | Mukkun is a big fan of the original work, see~. |
Muku | Yes. The original manga was what made me join the track and field club. |
Yuki | Huh, I see~. |
Izumi | (Now that I think about it, I did hear about this back when he just joined the company...) |
| |
Muku | “I wanted to be a sprinter because the hero in my favorite shoujo manga is the ace of the track and field club.” |
| “I practiced really hard everyday in order to be as cool as him…” |
Izumi | “You fulfilled your dream in the end.” |
Muku | “Yes. But at some point, that dream was replaced by my desire to win a race with everyone in the team.” |
Izumi | “You had good teammates.” |
Muku | “Yes. My team was really nice.” |
| “I couldn’t see the dream that I chased with everyone anymore.” |
| “Instead, I’m trying to be a shoujo manga prince on the stage now. Everyone would laugh at me if they knew this.” |
| |
Izumi | (A prince on the stage…) |
| (Yeah, the theme for the next play has been decided.) |
| --Hey guys, shall we make Muku-kun our lead actor for Summer Troupe’s next play and have him play a prince? |
Muku | Huh!? |
Tenma | Yeah, I agree. That idea is reasonable if we’re going to have Muku lead the play. |
Kumon | I think it’s a good idea! |
Kazunari | I agree, of course! He’ll become a cool prince! |
Misumi | I agree~! I’m looking forward to Muku’s prince~. |
Yuki | Well, why not? |
Muku | C-Can I really be the lead actor? |
Kazunari | Of course! |
Tenma | You’re the only one who has never played the lead actor, after all. |
Yuki | That’s right. |
Izumi | What do you say? |
Muku | I, I’m happy, but… I don’t think I can deliver a prince-themed play if I’m cast as the lead role… |
| I’m sure I’ll be a good-for-nothing prince who looks like withered and tattered boiled spinach, or a piece of chicken meat that is so burned it becomes charcoal…! |
Tsuzuru | Calm down. |
Yuki | You always say you want to be a prince--what are you doing now? |
Muku | I can’t help but be anxious now that it's becoming a reality… If someone like me becomes a prince, I’m sure, I’m sure… |
Kazunari | All right, stop. |
Tsuzuru | Coming up with a plot is my job, you know. |
Kazunari | That’s right! Tsuzurun will complete it excellently. |
Izumi | He’s our star scriptwriter, after all. |
Tsuzuru | Please stop unnecessarily raising the bar so high. But well, I’ll work hard as usual, so no need to worry. |
Muku | I’m, I’m not really good at anything, but please take care of me! |
Tenma | What are you doing? |
Misumi | Are you a bride, Muku~? |
Izumi | Haha. |
| (The play where Muku-kun becomes the lead actor has finally come.) |
| (Compared to our debut performance, his acting skill has improved. Having had various experiences, he has also gained confidence. It's only right to make him star in the lead role.) |
| (It feels like we have been waiting for this opportunity to come. I’m looking forward to see Muku-kun’s appearance as a prince.) |
