| Muku | …. |
| Teammate | Sakisaka, the teacher is calling for you. |
| Muku | …. |
| Teammate | Sakisaka? |
| Muku | Ah, uh, yeah. Okay. |
| Teammate | What’s wrong? You don’t look well these days… |
| Muku | No, I’m fine. No need to worry. |
| Teammate | Is that so? |
| Muku | The teacher is calling for me, right? I’ll go over. |
| …. |
| *sigh*.... |
| (My legs feel heavier than usual… But we have an important competition the day after tomorrow.) |
| (I’m sure this is just my imagination.) |
| (Once practice is over, I’ll jog to that one bookstore that’s a little bit far from here and buy the new issue.) |
| Adviser | Gather here! |
| Muku | (Ah, I need to hurry.) |
| --!! |
| Ugh, ugh…. |
| Advisor | Sakisaka!? |
| Teammate | Are you okay!? |
| |
| Muku | ….huh. |
| *pants*, *pants*.... |
| (It’s… a dream.) |
| …. |
| (I never have that dream anymore these days.) |
| (I’ve got theater with me now, so I should have moved on from track and field by this point, but…) |
| (....I hate that, for some reason.) |
| |
| Izumi | Thank you for the food. |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Azuma | By the way, Muku will play the lead role, The Prince, in Summer Troupe’s upcoming play, right? |
| Juza | Is that so? |
| Muku | Y-yes! |
| Juza | Good for you. |
| Tasuku | So you’re finally playing a prince, huh. Your wish has come true. |
| Azuma | I’m looking forward to it. |
| Muku | I’ll, I’ll do my best! |
| Izumi | (I’m not the only one who is happy to know that Muku-kun will play a prince.) |
| (Everyone knows how much Muku-kun works hard; I’m sure they are as happy as I am.) |
| Tasuku | What kind of prince do you want to play, Sakisaka? |
| Muku | Huh? |
| Itaru | You can make a request--your role was decided before Tsuzuru had started writing the script, after all. You can ask for things like a harem, a harem or being an OP character. |
| Tsuzuru | Please don’t lump him with you, Itaru-san. But well, I’d like to hear it too. It could be a good reference. |
| Muku | Uh, umm… A prince who is cool, strong, kind, loved by everyone and then…. |
| Izumi | (I feel like his voice is getting lower and lower…) |
| And then? |
| Muku | --. |
| No, nothing! I just haven’t thought it out, so I’ll leave it to Tsuzuru-san! |
| Tsuzuru | ….You sure? |
| |
| Muku | …. |
| Yuki | You’re kind of quiet today. |
| Muku | Huh? Am, Am I? |
| Kumon | Are you all right, Muku? Do you not feel well or something? |
| Muku | I’m fine--just in the middle of thinking something. |
| Yuki | Anyway, what do you think will be good for the costumes of the play? |
| Muku | Costumes? Hmm… |
| Kumon | I think you can make it flashy! It’s a prince costume, after all. |
| Yuki | I know right. As I thought, should we make it look cool? It depends on the story, though. I think it’d be nice if it’s an easy-to-understand fairytale. |
| Muku | You look like you’re having fun, Yuki-kun. |
| Yuki | Not really. It’s just because I’ll make the costumes based on my own preference. |
| ….Besides, I can finally make a prince costume. |
| Muku | Yuki-kun…. |
| Yuki | Do your very best so that our play will be as good as it looks, okay? |
| Muku | Ye, yes. |
| *LIME notification sounds* |
| Yuki | ….It’s from Kazunari. |
| Kumon | What’s wrong? |
| Yuki | He has found some materials that may be useful for the visual image of the upcoming play. |
| I’ll go meet Kazunari first and go home. You can go ahead. |
| Muku | Ah, okay. Good luck on that. |
| Yuki | Bye. |
| Muku | …. |
| The play, huh…. |
| Kumon | It’s good to know that everyone is looking forward to see Muku play the prince. |
| Muku | …. |
| Kumon | Muku? |
| Muku | …..Can I really be a prince? |
| Kumon | Of course you can! |
| Muku | …. |
| Kumon | ? |
| Muku | --You’re right. Everyone is even cheering me on, so I have to do my best! |
| Kumon | Yes, I’ll do my best too! |
| Muku | Hehe, I’m hungry. |
| Kumon | I wonder what’s for dinner. |
| Muku | I think Director-san is in charge of today’s dinner. |
| Kumon | So it’s curry, huh. I want beef curry-. |
