| Yuki | We’re home. |
| Taichi | We’re back~! |
| Izumi | Ah, perfect timing, Yuki-kun! |
| Yuki | What is it? |
| Izumi | It’s about time to decide on the content for our next mixed play, so I was looking at Tsuzuru-kun’s plot… |
| Tsuzuru | To tell you the truth, I have a story with Yuki as the lead in mind. |
| The theme is about fashion designer, but I haven’t got the chance to show it off. Thus, I was suggesting whether we could use this for the mixed play. |
| Izumi | Because of the topic that will be used as the theme, I think it will be interesting. You’d have more freedom in creating the costumes than before, and you can make something different. |
| But it may be tough on you since you’ll be in charge of the lead role and costumes again… |
| Tsuzuru | By the way, I’m thinking to give you the role of a genius designer, Yuki. |
| Yuki | ...I want to do it. Let me do it. |
| You don’t need to worry about costumes and lead role. I’ll pull it off just fine. |
| Izumi | That’s good to hear, then! |
| Taichi | A genius designer suits Yuki-chan to a tee! |
| Yuki | Besides, I recently went to a place that could serve as role-building reference. I feel like I can already imagine what it’s like. |
| Tsuzuru | I’ll try working out the details in this direction, then. |
| Izumi | OK, I’m counting on you! |
| |
| Yuki | “I haven’t.” |
| Tenma | “Why don’t you pair up with me, then? I can meet your high demands, Kikukawa.” |
| Yuki | “...I’ll think about it.” |
| Masumi | “Hmm, so you haven’t even decided on your pair. You sure are calm.” |
| Yuki | “It’s not that I have time for that.” |
| Izumi | (Since they’ve performed so many times before, they’re already performing good even during rehearsal.) |
| (Even when they’re performing with members outside of their troupe, they are able to communicate well and are in sync...) |
| Tenma | Taichi, don’t wiggle while you walk! |
| Taichi | Sorry~! |
| Izumi | (I’m a little bit worried about the co-lead though, Taichi-kun…) |
| |
| Taichi | I’m playing a model!? |
| Tsuzuru | Because this is a school play where the students take center stage, the actors will all be students. |
| Yuki will take on the lead, the genius designer Kikukawa, while Taichi will play the co-lead, the hopeless model Mikami. |
| Kikukawa’s designer rival, Hayama, will be played by Masumi. Then, Tenma is cast as Koga, a popular model who becomes Mikami’s rival. |
| Taichi | I’m not that tall and not even attractive. Playing a model is out of the question! |
| Besides, Ten-chan will play the other model…! |
| If I were to compete with Ten-chan in costumes that Yuki-chan makes, I’d certainly lose! |
| Tsuzuru | That is exactly why in the story Mikami will change after meeting Kikukawa. |
| Taichi | I’m not confident I’ll change…! |
| Tenma | Aren’t you planning to surpass me? |
| Taichi | Uhhh…. |
| Masumi | Just quit if you can’t do it. The play won’t be convincing if you can’t change on stage. |
| Taichi | Uhhhh. |
| Izumi | Well, this is not a troupe play, after all. We still have time to change the actor… |
| Yuki | What will you do? |
| Taichi | ...I-I’ll do it! I’ll do my best! |
| |
| Yuki | “I get it that you’re short, but it turns out your walking is also bad, huh.” |
| Taichi | “So-sorry…” |
| Yuki | “Do something about it until the D-day.” |
| Taichi | “Say, why did you choose me, Kikukawa? There are other models that you can choose, and yet…” |
| Izumi | (Taichi-kun is doing really well in the first half, when Mikami still doesn’t have any confidence. But the problem is in the part where he has changed; the fashion show in the climax.) |
| (He has to be equal to Tenma-kun’s Koga on the runway.) |
| (Taichi-kun aside, competing with Tenma-kun, who is tall and has modeling experience, is generally hard.) |
| (That is why if he manages to do as good as Tenma-kun, the play will surely become more perfect than this...) |
| All right. Let’s stop here for today. |
| Yuki | Good work. |
| Taichi | Good work… |
| Tenma | We should do some intense training on walking. |
| Taichi | Uhh…. all right. |
| Masumi | How was my performance today? |
| Izumi | You did good. You were able to show the delicate features of a designer. |
| Yuki | All right. I’m going to make the costume design draft. I’ll be going ahead. |
| Izumi | Thanks for your hard work. Don’t push yourself too hard. |
| Yuki | Don’t worry. I already have a lot of ideas in mind. |
| Izumi | I’m looking forward to it. |
| (Unlike the time when he was first cast as the lead role, it looks like Yuki-kun has room to breathe now. He’s full of motivation, too. I don’t think I have to worry this time.) |
