| Passerby A | If I had to choose, of course it has to be the Luminous Circus Troupe! |
| Passerby B | You’re right, they really perform like magic! |
| It’s definitely worth watching at least once! |
| Mogiri | Today’s same day performance ticket is sold out~! |
| Passerby C | Eh~! Even thought I want to watch it! |
| Suspicious Man | …Luminous Circus Troupe? |
| That shabby and worn-out circus troupe? |
| *Shifts to Circus’ Backstage* |
| George | Behold, there are requests for performance coming from everywhere! |
| As I thought, it’s thanks to this child! |
| Will | With this, we don’t need to be worried that we’ll have nothing to eat tomorrow. |
| Nick | The Luminous Circus Troupe is now safe! |
| Tim | It will be great if things stay this way. |
| George, have you secured the big guest? |
| George | We don’t need him anymore! |
| As long as this child is here, everything will go well! |
| Tim | Are you sure it’s fine? |
| George | Of course, Tim. |
| You would also oppose the idea of relying on a guest right. |
| Tim | That’s true, but there won’t be any change like this– |
| George | Hmm? Did you say something. |
| Tim | …Nothing. |
| Baby |
|
| George | There there. Up high! |
| Suspicious Man | … |
| *Shifts to Circus’ Stage* |
| Nick | Huh? The baby’s not here? |
| Will | That’s weird. He was sleeping over here not so long ago. |
| Lion | Growl. |
| Nick | Hmm? What is it, Leo. |
| Will | I wonder if Leader took him somewhere. |
| Lion | Growl. |
| Nick | Leo seems to be a bit unsettled. Something might have happened. |
| Will | Isn’t he just a bit hungry. |
| Nick | But, he’s growling towards that direction over there. |
| Will | Over there? |
| Nick | Ah! The window over there! |
| Suspicious Man | … |
| Will | Who is it, he– |
| Nick | He had the baby with him! |
| Will | Eh!? |
| Nick | Is it a kidnapper!? |
| What to do, we have to hurry up and chase him! |
| Will | It will be faster if I use the swing to go there! |
| *Shifts to Circus Outdoor* |
| Will | Hey, wait! |
| Suspicious Man | !? |
| Will | Return the baby! |
| Nick | Get him, Will! |
| Leo, block the exit! |
| Lion | Roar! |
| Suspicious Man | Ugh…! |
| George | What is happening over here? |
| Tim | What kind of commotion is this? |
| Nick | Ah, Leader! |
| That man over there is trying to kidnap the baby! |
| George | What!? |
| Tim | Let’s catch him! |
| Will | Just stay still! |
| Suspicious Man | Damn it! |
| George | Uhh, he ran away. |
| Nick | But, I’m glad the baby is safe. |
| Will | Regardless, why would he even try to kidnap the baby in the first place? |
| Nick | Maybe, he’s the baby’s father? |
| Tim | No, that face, I feel that I’ve seen him in a different circus troupe before. |
| Most probably, he heard about our recent successes and realized that this child is the secret behind it. |
| George | The secret, you’re referring to this child being the messenger of good luck? |
| Tim | Yeah. |
| Will | That means, he’s going to be targeted again? |
| Tim | That, if people know that he can bring in a lot of money, there're bound to be some people out there who will want to get hold of him. |
| Nick | Isn’t that bad! We have to be even more careful from now on! |
| George | … |
| Will | We have to keep an eye on the baby, Leader! |
| George | … |
| Nick | Leader? |
| George | Eh!? Ah, uh, yeah, that’s right, let’s do that. |
| Tim | … |
| *Shifts to Circus’ Backstage* |
| Baby | Zzz… |
| Nick | Leader, it’s time to change. Please get some sleep. |
| Will | We will take over from here. |
| George | Ah, yeah. |
| Will, Nick, what do you think of the recent Luminous Circus Troupe. |
| Nick | What I think… |
| Will | Isn’t it great. |
| Everyday’s full with everyone’s appreciation and the audience seems to enjoy themselves. |
| Nick | Yep yep. |
| George | Nick, about Leo, I’m sorry. |
| Nick | No… I was shocked when I heard about Leo, but there’s nothing we can do about it. |
| At that point, we also had a lot of trouble with Leo’s food. |
| Will | What happened, Leader. Why do you make such a face. |
| Luminous Circus Troupe can finally return to its previous state, aren’t you supposed to be more excited? |
| Nick | Right. You said it yourself, we were going to call the big guest in and make a comeback right. |
| We were scammed by the big guest, but the result is still the same. |
| George | Yeah, you’re right… |
| Will | You don’t need to worry anymore. Even when we don’t practice, the show will still go well, the audience members are pretty happy too. |
| Nick | Yep yep. As long as this child is here, the Luminous Circus Troupe is safe! |
| George | … |
| The two of you, I will look after this child tonight. |
| Please sleep so you can prepare for tomorrow’s show. |
| Nick | Eh, are you sure? |
| Will | Please be really careful. |
| Call us if anything happens! |
| *Shifts to Monastery* |
| Sister | …I understand the situation. I’ll take over from here. |
| George | Thank you so much. |
| Sister | May God bless you and this child. |
| Baby | Zzz… |
| George | … |
| *Shifts to Circus Outdoor* |
| Tim | George. |
| George | !! Tim, why are you here… |
| Tim | I just had a feeling you’ll be here. |
| George | It’s as you said. |
| It was wrong from the beginning to rely on something else. |
| …Tim, do you remember the time when you entered this circus troupe? |
| Tim | Yeah. We were both the clown’s apprentice, I couldn’t even perform one thing right at that time. |
| George | At that time, I couldn’t help but to think that the practices and shows were fun. Everyday was like a festival on its own. |
| I love the circus troupe that puts a smiling face on everyone, including the troupe members and the audiences. |
| But, I wonder when. |
| I started to become so fixated on money… |
| I want that child to return to his normal life and live happily. I even involved him in such a dangerous situation. This should be the best for him. |
| Tim | If that’s what Leader decides, I have nothing against it. |
| George | …Thank you, Tim. I wonder if Will and Nick will be angry. |
| Tim | Everyone knows that George is only thinking for the best of the Luminous Circus Troupe. |
| George | Yeah… |
| *Shifts to Circus’ Backstage* |
| Nick | Woah! Leader, bad news! The animals have turned into mascots–! |
| Will | The swing is in shambles! |
| Nick | Eh!? Where’s the baby!? |
| George | I’m sorry, by the time I realized it, he was gone. |
| Nick | Eh!? By gone you mean… |
| Will | I thought we told you to watch over him yesterday night! |
| George | I’m sorry. |
| Will | We have to hurry and find him! |
| Tim | It’s impossible now isn’t it. |
| Nick | No way–! |
| *Shifts to Circus’ Stage* |
| Izumi | (For the Luminous Circus Troupe who had lost its magic, they have no choice but to showcase a poor looking performance, similar to what they had before…) |
| Audience A | Get lost! |
| Audience B | Return our money! |
| Audience C | I’m not going to come again! |
| Will | … |
| Nick | … |
| George | Everyone, it’s too bad today! |
| There’s still tomorrow, if we just change our mindset– |
| Nick | Stop it. |
| George | Eh!? |
| Nick | There’s no animal here, I can’t perform. |
| Will | Me too, without the swings, I can’t fly. |
| I can’t follow you anymore, Leader. |
| Nick | Excuse me. |
| George | The two of you— |
| Uh… |
| Naturally, this is the result… |
| To think that I’ll be the last leader of the Luminous Circus troupe… |
| Past Troupe Leader | Everyone, behold! The next one will be a beautiful show in the sky! |
| George | !? |
| Th, that is…? |
| It can’t be, that senior shouldn’t be here anymore– |
 |
| Past Troupe Leader | Next will be the best tamer! |
| Lion | Roar! |
| Audience A | Woah! |
| Audience B | Amazing! |
| Past Troupe Leader | George, Tim! Hurry and bring in the props! |
| Past George | Yes! |
| George | – |
| Right, I couldn’t do anything back then. |
| Nothing at all… It doesn’t change now. |
| I guess, it’s a good time to start over from the beginning. |
| Izumi | (In the end, George is filled with such humanity, his regrets and longing, the feelings are properly conveyed. |
| Homare-san said that he cannot understand people’s feelings properly, but that’s not the case at all. Otherwise, he won’t able to play George with such emotion, it’s so fascinating and we’re all pulled towards his performance.) |
| Tim | George? So you’re here? |
| George | Tim! Look, the seniors from the past are over there–! |
| Tim | Seniors from the past? What are you talking about? |
| George | – |
| Just now, the Luminous Circus Troupe from the past was just there— |
| Nevermind, it’s nothing. |
| Tim | ? |
| George | Can you help me call Nick and Will over. |
| I want to try talking to them again. |
| Izumi | (George called Will and Nick over to talk and settle the situation, he has decided to start over from the beginning.) |
| *Shifts to Monastery* |
| (And then, time passed–) |
| Grown Baby | Hey hey, there’s a circus troupe coming to this town! |
| Sister | Oh, it’s been a while. It’s been around 10 years I guess. |
| Grown Baby | I hadn’t been born at that time. |
| Sister | You’re right, maybe it’s when you were just a little baby. |
| Grown Baby | I’m looking forward to it. I heard it’s a circus troupe that shows a magic like illusion. |
| Children | Hey, the circus car is here! |
| Grown Baby | Really!? I want to see! |
| Izumi | (In the midst of the children’s laughter, the Luminous Circus Troupe once again set up their circus tent…) |
| *Shifts to Mankai Stage* |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Izumi | (Homare-san’s feelings, I’m pretty sure it’s conveyed properly to his grandmother.) |
| Kazunari | Thank you! |
| Sakuya | Thank you so much! |
| Muku | Thank you so much! |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Thank you. |
| Homare | – |
| Thank you so much. |
| *Shifts to Lobby* |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Izumi | Arisugawa-san! |
| Homare’s Grandmother | – |
| Izumi | Do you want to meet Homare-san? |
| I’m sure he wants to hear your impression. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …I’ll tell him when he comes home. |
| Otherwise, he won’t come home at all. |
| My daughter is always lonely. |
| Even though he used to come home often. |
| That’s all, I had fun here. |
| Izumi | I’ll tell Homare-san just that. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | Please do so. |
| Then, I’ll take my leave– |
| Homare | Grandmother! |
| Homare’s Grandmother | –If you want my impression, I’ll tell you at home. |
| Homare | Please wait a minute. |
| This– |
| Homare’s Grandmother | A watch? |
| Homare | I haven’t thanked you for the pocket watch yet. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Homare | Thank you for giving me your memorable item from grandfather. |
| Since then, it won’t move no matter how much I tried to fix it. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | I see. |
| Are you going to dispose of it? |
| Homare | No. Even though it has stopped moving, this watch is full of a lot of important memories. |
| Grandfather’s feelings, grandmother’s feelings, and after that, the feelings of my comrades from this theatre troupe… |
| Even if it’s just junk who can’t fulfill its role as a watch, it’s not something that I don’t need anymore. |
| That’s what I learned from this theatre troupe. |
| In the end what I received is a place that I love, just like this watch. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | …Treasure it properly. |
| Homare | Yes. |
| Thank you so much for today. |
| Homare’s Grandmother | … |
| Homare | Eh… |
| Grandmother just now… you smiled! |
| It’s an important moment, one that I haven’t seen in ten years! |
| Izumi | That’s more important than any impression right. |
| Homare | Yes! |
