Izumi | I’m back~. |
Rento | Damn, dude! Just a lil’ bit! You only need to go, “Chirp chirp!” |
Kamekichi | You’re one hundred years too early to record this great Kamekichi’s chirping! I’ll require 100,000 grains of rice as a guarantee! |
Rento | It’ll take forever to even count ‘em! C'mon, dude, just a sec! Please! |
Izumi | What's… going on here? |
Yuki | Welcome home. |
Muku | Rento-san was asked by his acquaintance to gather animals’ sound effects. |
Kazunari | He’s apparently having a hard time collecting birds’ sounds. |
Rento | Kamekichi is the only bird I know! |
Kamekichi | Don’t think you can ask me a favor just because we know each other! |
Rento | Pleeeeeze! |
| *door opens* |
Manager | Hm? Kamekichi, what’s going on? |
Kamekichi | Goddamnit, you’re so persistent! Are you a stalker or what?! Hey, say something to this insolent fellow! |
Manager | What?! You’re stalking Kamekichi?! |
Rento | N-No, there’s no way I’d do that…! |
Kamekichi | Hmph! Farewell! Never come here again! |
| *Kamekichi leaves* |
Rento | Ah! |
| Y-You’ve got it all wrong! It’s a misunderstanding! I was only asked to record sound effects! |
Manager | Hoho, I see now. How about 500,000 yen for a day? |
Rento | So pricey…! I expected no less from a bird that the God is taking care of… Can I pay by installments… |
Tenma | Dude, don’t just casually accept it! |
Yuki | You worship the worst person ever. |
| *door opens* |
Tsuzuru | Hm? Manager, Furuichi-san is looking for you… |
Manager | Gulps! Err, err…I just remembered I’ve gotta take care of a lot of things! I’ll be taking my leave now! Phew… so busy…so busy… |
| *door closes* |
Rento | Oh! Can you tell me more details–. |
Izumi | It’s better to let him go! |
Yuki | Kamekichi has escaped, anyway. |
Rento | Sighs… My plan has failed. What should I do now? |
Muku | You’re looking for birds’ sound, right… I believe you can find them in the park… |
Rento | Say, can y'all help me gather sounds? |
Misumi | Gather sounds~? Is it like gathering triangles~? |
Tenma | Why us… |
Rento | Dude, this is when you’ve gotta learn how to give and take. Who knows? Maybe you’ll use it in one of your shows in the future. |
| By the way, I’ve recorded a lot of dogs’ sounds recently. |
| This one is golden retriever, this one is dachshund… |
Kumon | Heh. Big dogs do sound very different from small ones! |
Rento | This one is chihuahua, this one is spaniel… |
Tenma | I feel like they’re going to appear in my dream at this rate… |
| *phone rings* |
Rento | Crap! I forgot I had an appointment after this. Bye! |
| *door closes* |
Misumi | Bye bye~! |
Kumon | He really left just like that… |
Tenma | I wonder what kind of play that requires us to use dogs’ sound effects. |
Kazunari | Sounds like a great idea to me, like a dog-filled play! |
Izumi | Now that you mention it, it’s about time to prepare for Summer Troupe’s eighth play. |
Tsuzuru | Dogs, huh… Isn’t it better to have Yuki as the lead actor, then? |
Muku | You have a point. Yuki-kun was the lead actor in our cats-themed play, “The Adventure for Sardines.” |
Yuki | Dogs, huh… If we’re gonna do it, I want to make costumes with a lot of lace fabric. |
Tenma | Lace…? |
Tsuzuru | I guess, once in a while, it’ll be a good idea to write a script based on your costumes. |
Izumi | I do agree it will be an interesting challenge for us, given that the costumes are always decided after the script is done. |
Kazunari | Same. Sounds great to me. |
Kumon | Agreed! |
Misumi | I’m looking forward to the frilly costumes~! |
Muku | I do think it’s a great idea! |
Tsuzuru | It’s decided, then. Tell me if you have any requests. |
Yuki | For the time being, I’ll not accept any objection no matter what kind of costumes I’ll make. |
Tenma | Just what kind of costumes are you going to make… |
| |
|
Muku | I can’t wait for your leading play, Yuki-kun. |
Yuki | I want to make super cute costumes while I’m at it. |
Muku | Oh, right, Yuki-kun, what did you want to say to me on our way home earlier? |
Yuki | Oh, that… I wanted to ask what you wrote on your career survey. We should submit it soon, right? |
Muku | I’m planning to go to university. What about you? |
Yuki | …I still don’t know. |
| Like whether to go to a vocational school for designers, or a fashion university… |
| I considered studying abroad, but if I do so, I’m not sure if I can continue performing in this troupe. |
| I thought about it so much I can’t decide on anything now. |
Muku | But you’re awesome, Yuki-kun… You’re really thinking about your future. |
Yuki | Same goes for you, Muku. You’re smart, so it’s only reasonable that you’d choose to go to college. |
Muku | Hmm… I wonder about that. |
Kazunari | Oh. Here you are, Yukki~. |
Yuki | What is it? |
Kazunari | So you see, we’re gonna hold another fashion show at Amabi. They want both you and Azamin to help out again. |
| Settzer’s not going to model, though. |
Yuki | Heh. I don’t mind. I learned a lot last time, after all. |
Kazunari | Glad to hear that! Azamin also accepted the offer, so I’ll be counting on both of you! |
Muku | Good luck! |
