From A3! Wiki
One Day Leader Exchange! Winter --> Autumn
Backstage Stories
| Tenma | Haah. My troupe really has to do something about our lack of calmness. |
| Banri | Us too. Geez, it’d be nice if Winter Troupe could share some of their calmness with us. |
| Tsumugi | Rather than calm, it would probably be more accurate to say that we move at our own pace… |
| Sakuya | All of us in Spring Troupe are slow starters, so I’d like for us to watch and learn from Summer and Autumn Troupes, who have lots of energy and power! |
| Izumi | The grass is always greener on the other side, huh. |
| Banri | Seriously, that's it. |
| Izumi | I know! How about we try exchanging troupe leaders for a day? |
| Sakuya | Exchanging leaders for a day? |
| Izumi | Yup. You’ll learn from other troupes as you discover more about them, and you can correct what your troupe has been doing, so I think it’s a good opportunity. |
| Tsumugi | I see. You’ll also be able to understand the other troupes’ characteristics and strengths. |
| Tenma | Mm… Sounds interesting. You came up with a good idea, huh. |
| Sakuya | I agree too! |
| Banri | Yup, me too. |
| Izumi | So it’s decided. Well then, let’s hurry and decide on the exchanges. |
| Do any of you have any requests as to which troupe’s leader you want to try being? | |
| Banri | I don’t have any in particular. How ‘bout Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | Hmm, well. It seems like it’ll be fun no matter which troupe I go to so I’m troubled, but… |
| If I have to choose, I’d say Autumn Troupe, I think. | |
| Tenma | Hmm, how unexpected. |
| Tsumugi | I’ve actually always kind of admired action scenes. |
| Banri | Seriously? |
| Sakuya | Waah, I want to see Tsumugi-san’s action scenes! |
| Izumi | I want to see that too. I’m interested to see what kind of feeling they’d give off. |
| Banri | Our action scenes are pretty showy so the movements are pretty intense. |
| Tsumugi-san, you’re slim, so wouldn’t it be better if you did this after becoming muscular like Tasuku-san? | |
| Tsumugi | I don’t know when I’ll become like that, though. |
| Tenma | Well the exchange will only last one day, so why not? |
| Izumi | So Tsumugi-san will take over Autumn Troupe, okay? |
| Banri | Just be careful not to injure yourself. |
| Tsumugi | Thank you, I’ll be careful. But aren’t you exaggerating? |
| Banri | I wonder. Those guys don’t know how to hold back, after all… |
| Tsumugi | I’ll be here for one day. Please take care of me. |
| Taichi | Tsumugi-san, please take care of us too—! |
| Juza | 'Kay. |
| Omi | Same here, please take care of us. |
| Sakyo | The circumstances here are different from that in Winter Troupe, but I’m sure you understand that. Speak up if there’s anything you’re curious about. |
| Tsumugi | Yes. |
| Well then, shall we start? What kind of practices do you guys in Autumn Troupe usually do? | |
| Sakyo | We usually do etudes with action scenes incorporated into them, but today——. |
| Tsumugi | That’s fine! Can you give me examples of the kinds of situations you act out? |
| Omi | Things like escaping from a building just before an explosion. |
| Juza | Yesterday I was surrounded by 100 zombies and defeated them with my bare hands. |
| Taichi | I threw a 200-kilogram wrestler who was several times my size over my shoulder! |
| Sakyo | … I think you already know, but they’re talking about our plays. |
| Tsumugi | That’s amazing! I’ve never done etudes with action scenes incorporated into them, so I’m looking forward to it. |
| Taichi | Eh? |
| Omi | Are we proceeding with the usual practices then? I was sure that we were going to do today’s practice in Winter Troupe’s style… |
| Juza | That’s what I thought too. |
| Tsumugi | This is Autumn Troupe, so I’d like you to let me practice in Autumn Troupe’s style. I want to learn lots of things too. |
| Sakyo | … |
| Taichi | Ah… Autumn Troupe, assemble!! |
| Tsumugi-san, hold on a moment, okay! | |
| Tsumugi | ??? |
| Juza | Hey, what’re we gonna do. |
| Taichi | If we do our usual practices, Tsumugi-san’s gonna get injured! |
| Omi | It would be good if he were able to get away with light scratches… |
| Sakyo | We’re in the same company but nonetheless, if anything happens to the heads of the other troupes, there’ll surely be infighting. |
| Taichi | It sounds like Sakyo-nii’s talking about something totally different! |
| Omi | At any rate, it’s true that Tsumugi-san isn’t used to doing action scenes. We can’t let him do anything unreasonable. |
| Juza | Should we hold back as much as possible? |
| Sakyo | Yeah. But don’t cut corners when practicing the actual plays themselves. |
| Taichi | Roger that! |
| Taichi | Sorry for making you wait~! |
| Omi | Then, let’s start. |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, please. |
| Tsumugi | Mmph...! |
| Sakyo | Wow… He ain’t bad. |
| Omi | Tsumugi-san has unexpectedly reached this level. He’s rather skilled at this kind of thing. |
| Juza | Tsk.. |
| Take this! | |
| Tsumugi | Uwah!! |
| Juza | ! Damn, I accidentally…! |
| Taichi | Hey-, Juuza-san, what’re you doing~! |
| Omi | Tsumugi-san, are you hurt——. |
| Homare | Hey, our leader is here, right? |
| Autumn Troupe | !!!! |
| Winter Troupe | ... |
| Azuma | It seems that we’ve arrived at an amazing time yet again. |
| Juza | Th-This is bad, if we let them see this scene…! |
| Taichi | Awawawawa!! There’ll be the danger of in-fighting within the company?! |
| Omi | Please don’t misunderstand, this was an accident! It was an accident. |
| Juza | Yeah, we weren’t pickin’ a fight with the head of Winter Troupe! |
| Taichi | Th-Th-That’s right! We aren’t trying to take over Winter Troupe! |
| Of course, we want to get along with Winter Troupe from here on, so——. | |
| Tasuku | …Geez, what’re you doing. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha, you’ve seen me doing something uncool. |
| Taichi | H-Huh? …You aren’t angry? |
| Hisoka | Why would we be angry? |
| Homare | We were a little surprised, it’s pretty refreshing to see Tsumugi-kun doing action scenes. |
| Juza | Ah, sorry. You aren’t hurt, are you. |
| Tsumugi | I’m fine. I’m sorry too, because I wasn’t able to do a proper defense. |
| Taichi | Haah… what a relief~ . I thought it was going to become the scene of a massacre~. |
| Sakyo | The same goes to you guys, do you need anything? |
| Azuma | We don’t exactly need anything, though. |
| Once we heard that Tsumugi would be taking part in Autumn Troupe’s practice… a certain someone was so worried about whether he’d get injured that he couldn’t stay calm. | |
| Tasuku | … |
| Tsumugi | He’s a worrywart, huh. I learnt many things, you know. |
| Omi | We learnt many things from Tsumugi-san too. |
| Sakyo | The guys from Winter Troupe just arrived, and it’s just about time to end practice. |
| Taichi | It ended in the blink of an eye! |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Taichi | I hope you can come again! Ah, but next time make sure you have muscles like Tasuku-san’s! |
| Juza | That’s right. That way, we won’t have to hold back. |
| Tsumugi | All of you are saying the same thing as Banri-kun. |
| Omi | Oh? Banri said the same thing, huh. |
| Tsumugi | In order to perform action scenes like Autumn Troupe, I’ll start some muscle training from today onwards. |
| Hisoka | Was Autumn Troupe’s practice fun? |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, very. |
| Azuma | That’s the most important thing. |
| Homare | But action scenes do indeed seem interesting. Why don’t we try incorporating simple action scenes as Winter Troupe too! |
| Tasuku | You say decent things from time to time, huh. Then shall we hurry and start practicing now? |
| Tsumugi | Eh, right now? I just finished a practice, though… |
| Tasuku | Are you not doing it? |
| Tsumugi | …Of course I am. |
