Tsuzuru	Luckily, we made it to the sale.
Izumi	Yup, these supplies will last us for a while.
Tsuzuru	Hm? This flyer….
	Survival game event?
Izumi	Heh, so they’re also organizing an event like this.
Tsuzuru	It’s a survival game sponsored by a theater company. Speaking of, you participated in a survival game during our training camp, didn’t you?
Izumi	I did. I participated with Itaru-san. I even ended up becoming an MVP…How nostalgic.
	Tsuzuru-kun, are you not interested in survival games?
Tsuzuru	It’s not that I’m not interested…
	I’d say I want to try it if I am given an opportunity.
Juza	Director, Tsuzuru-san.
Tsuzuru	Juza? What a coincidence.
Juza	There’s a Japanese confectionary shop selling limited edition manju near here.
Izumi	Ahaha, you’re the same as ever.
Juza	I’ll carry that bag for you.
Izumi	Thank you, Juza-kun.
Izumi	We’re back.
Juza	We’re back.
Tsuzuru	We’re back.
Itaru	Come on, Tasuku~.
Tasuku	If it’s not WinEle, I refuse.
Itaru	It’s a shooting game. Don’t worry. It’s easy to operate.
Tasuku	You are missing the point here.
Tsuzuru	What’s happening?
Itaru	I’m currently persuading Tasuku to play a game with me.
Tasuku	Ask someone else.
Tsuzuru	If you want to play a shooting game, we saw a flyer about a survival event that’s going to be held soon.
	Why don’t you participate?
Itaru	No way, are you telling me to die?
	I got ripped to pieces the last time I participated in a survival game with the director.
Izumi	Itaru-san was in terrible shape at that time.
Tsuzuru	I can somehow imagine it.
Itaru	Not to mention the Director-san was so badass. She was powerful enough to K.O. all the enemies.
Izumi	Thinking about getting revenge on behalf of Itaru-san somewhat made me stronger…
Tasuku	……I can only imagine.
	That being said, is the survival game event you’re talking about the one that’s being organized by a theater company?
Izumi	Tasuku-san, do you know it?
Tasuku	Actually, I have an acquaintance who likes survival games in that company. They invited me so I’m planning to participate.
Tsuzuru	Is that so? What kind of event is it?
Tasuku	It seems like the participants will have to play a role during the survival game. The roles will be written on a profile card that will be distributed in advance.
Tsuzuru	Heh, that’s indeed theater-like.
Tasuku	Half of them were forced to participate. I decided to participate but I wonder if it’ll be a good activity to develop my skills.
Izumi	It’s so like you to say that.
Itaru	That’s a theater nerd for you.
Tasuku	Chigasaki, would you like to participate?
Itaru	I am deeply honored to be invited but I am afraid I must decline.
Izumi	Ahaha…

Tasuku	Well it’s fine if you don’t want to participate. If you know anyone who might be interested, just let me know.
	Anyone who wants to do it is fine—
Tsuzuru	Then how about the director?
Izumi	Me?
Tsuzuru	You’re a very experienced person as far as I know.
	You seem to be strong enough to protect Itaru-san.
Itaru	Stop calling me a weakling.
Tsuzuru	I am only telling the truth. Aren’t you weak when it comes to survival games?
Izumi	I’m sure it’ll be fun but my acting skills are so bad. I’m quite worried about the acting part this time…
Tasuku	Well, acting only makes up half of the game. You don’t have to worry about it.
Izumi	Then.. Tsuzuru-kun and Juza-kun, would you like to participate too?
Tsuzuru	Eh?
Juza	Me too?
Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun said that he’d love to try if given an opportunity and Juza-kun seems to be good at handling guns.
Tsuzuru	Well, I certainly said that…
Juza	I don’t mind. I’ll join.
Izumi	Alright, it’s decided then.
Itaru	Then how about playing a game with me as practice?
Tasuku	I told you already. I’m not playing unless it’s WinEle.
Tsuzuru	I don’t have much experience so I’m a bit nervous.
	But I’ll do my best.
Itaru	GL~.
Tsuzuru	Hmm….
Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun, what’s up?
Tsuzuru	Actually… I just received the profile sheet for the survival game event but…look.
Izumi	Hm?
“Cool Hitman	Hawk”
	Ahaha, it’s far from the usual Tsuzuru-kun.
Tsuzuru	Right….
	I was thinking of what to do.
Izumi	By the way, here’s what I got.
Tsuzuru	“A female sniper feared by humanity: Jane”
	It’s kinda amazing..
Izumi	I wonder what others got.
Tsuzuru	I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of roles Takato-san and Juza will play.
	I’m playing a hitman. I guess I’ll study by watching movies.
Izumi	That’s right, you might be able to get a grasp of your role through a movie.
Tsuzuru	Furuichi-san might know something helpful.
	I’ll ask if he has a DVD too.
Izumi	Let’s do our best.
Tsuzuru	Yeah.
Manager	Hoorayyy! That’s it for today’s cleaning!
Izumi	The baths are sparkling clean too.
Sakuya	It feels nice to have it cleaned.
Izumi	Sakuya-kun, thank you for helping us.
Manager	Really~ you saved our guts~.
	It’s so clean it makes me want to start dancing!
	Hhm hhm hhm~♪
Tsuzuru	……
Izumi	Ah, Manager-! Behind you–!
Manager	Eh?
	—!
	Awawawahh M-Minagi-kun! I’m sorry!
Tsuzuru	No…It’s fine.
Manager	T-that’s Minagi-kun, right?
	He doesn’t seem like his usual self.
Sakuya	Tsuzuru-kun said he’s going to play a cool hitman in the upcoming survival game event.
	That’s why he’s doing a role study for it.
Manager	Makes sense!
	He’s already giving off that vibe~.
Izumi	Yup, yup. It’s perfect.
	(I’m looking forward to what kind of role it’ll turn out to be.)

Izumi	It’s finally here!
Tasuku	Yeah.
Juza	Yeah.
Tsuzuru	I’ve seen it on video but it’s so much wider in person.
Tasuku	It’s a dedicated field of some sort.
Troupe Member	Takato-kun, thank you for joining us today.
Tasuku	Don’t mention it. This is the director of the theater company I belong to.
Izumi	Nice to meet you.
Tsuzuru	Nice to meet you.
Troupe Member	Then, please change into the equipment immediately.
Juza	‘kay.
Organizer	The rules are simple! The goal is to play against the enemy team and take their flag. Victory belongs to the team that completely obliterates the opponent team !
Participant A	Let’s do our best!
Participant B	Let’s aim for victory!
Tsuzuru	What’s with this overwhelming atmosphere?
Troupe Member	Some of these guys are hardcore players but I hope you’ll enjoy it. I’m still a beginner myself.
Tasuku	We just gotta do it.
Izumi	Let’s do our best, everyone.
Juza	Yeah.
Tsuzuru	Let’s give our all!
	—*whistle blows*
Tsuzuru	It has begun.
Tasuku	Don’t let your guard down.
	Hide behind the shadows to see how the land lies.
Izumi	Understood!
Juza	'kay.
Tsuzuru	—!
	—*pow*
Juza	That was close….
Tsuzuru	The enemies found us.
Tasuku	You’ll be mowed down if you move sloppily.
	Be careful.
Izumi	(Everyone’s already into character…Incredible)
	W-what should we do.
Juza	…I’ll lead the way.
Tsuzuru	Oi, Fox!
Tasuku	What are you talking about?
	Don’t run off without thinki—
	—*bratatata*
Juza	Hey! Hey! Hey! Crawl outta your holes!
	Let’s make the bullets rain!
	—*bratatata*
Izumi	There he goes….
	(I can see a little bit of Luciano in him…)
Tasuku	Geez…
	This is what happens when you dare to bare your fangs against your superior!
	—*pow*
Participant C	Hit!
Tsuzuru	I’ll go ahead.
	We still got some ass to kick.
	—*boom*
Izumi	Everyone went on their way.
	I have to do my best too!
	A-anyone who dares to get close w-will be mowed down in one shot!
Participant D	Uwah!
Participant E	Hit!
	—*pow* *pow* pow*
Tsuzuru	…That’s the way to go.
Izumi	P-piece of cake.
Tsuzuru	—!
	Behind you!
Izumi	Eh?
Tsuzuru	—Go to hell.
	—*pow*
Participant F	They got me…Hit!
Tsuzuru	That was close. Are you okay?
Izumi	Y-yes.
	(I involuntarily responded politely. I have to get into my character!)
CHOICE 1: Thank you for your help [+] Izumi You’re a hitman but you help people. Tsuzuru I only did the right thing. I don’t want to lose someone as capable as you. Izumi I have to work hard then.
CHOICE 2: It's no big deal [+] Izumi I-it’s no big deal. Tsuzuru How cheeky. …Rather, what I wanted to say is… You can leave it to me. I will stake my life to protect you. Izumi —! (I know it’s just acting but hearing him say it so lightly is too bad for my heart….)
Tsuzuru	You’ll be shot right away if you space out like that.
Izumi	I, I got it!
	(This is the result of Tsuzuru-kun’s role study… It only shows how hard he worked for it)
Izumi	–!
	—*pow*
Izumi	Hit!
	I got hit~….
	It’s such a shame but it can’t be helped.
Tasuku	Good work.
Juza	Good work.
Izumi	Eh? Both of you got hit too?
Tasuku	They caught me off guard.
Izumi	Same with me.
Juza	Someone who looks like Settsu got me.
Izumi	Ahahah……
	( I’m pretty sure Juza went up neck and neck against the enemy)
Tsuzuru	—!
	—*boom*
Izumi	Woah, Tsuzuru-kun is almost there…!
	(He’ll get the flag in no time….!)
Juza	’s quite amazing.
Tasuku	He’s surrounded by enemies but it’s going to be our win if he grabs that flag.
Tsuzuru	I’ll give it to you for surviving this far…
	You’re quite formidable–
	—*boom*
Tsuzuru	But I’m sorry, that flag is mine!
Juza	……Amazing.
Tasuku	We can win if he keeps going like this!
Izumi	T-that was close!
Tsuzuru	……!
	—*clack*
Tsuzuru	E-eh?
Juza	Tsuzuru-san?
Izumi	Don’t tell me….
Tasuku	Did he run out of ammo?
	—*pow*
Tsuzuru	…! Hit!
Tsuzuru	Ugh….
Juza	Good work.
Tasuku	You were almost there.
Izumi	You got fairly good results.
Tsuzuru	It’s a shame to think that I almost made it.
	I should have done better.
Tasuku	It’s so like you to say such things.
